Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint.

Chapter 187 If nothing unexpected happens, then something unexpected did happen.
After Walter learned about the situation from Vanessa, he led the six heretics away.

Before leaving, he gave Vanessa a special look, his eyes filled with shock and awe.

In most regions, temples and lords are naturally in competition, and their strength is often roughly equal. This was created by the Holy Court to counterbalance the local lords.

Walter had always assumed that Vanessa was a third-tier mage, just like him.

As it turned out, after the battle, it was discovered that she was not only a fourth-tier player, but also not just any ordinary fourth-tier player.

This is very subtle.

Walter couldn't help but think back to what Vanessa had done over the years.

She never competed or fought for anything, simply doing her duties as the High Priestess every day, never interfering with his rule over Starash Town, only stepping in to stop him when he was about to do something out of line.

Walter couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had given Vanessa face every time she stepped forward, because she didn't compete with him for the assets, and hadn't continued the conflict. Otherwise, the lord of Starash Town might have had to be replaced.

That said, Vanessa is already at the fourth rank, so why is she staying in a remote town like Starash Town as a high priest instead of becoming a bishop in a big city like Southern City?
Walter was completely baffled.

……

Temple ruins.

After Walter left, Vanessa casually tossed the shark into a corner and looked at Celia.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

She looked at Celia, her eyes still gentle, but with a hint of sternness.

Celia lowered her head, looking as if she had done something wrong: "I didn't know. I just went on an adventure in the Protoss Forbidden Lands and accidentally discovered a Deepsea Aid Society outpost. I destroyed the outpost and then went home to treat patients with you."

"You went to the Protoss Forbidden Lands and even found a Deepsea Aid organization's outpost?"

Vanessa was taken aback.

Is this outpost so easy to find?
She has lived here for decades, how come she didn't notice any heretical strongholds nearby?

Okay, let's just say Celia was lucky.

Vanessa asked, "You destroyed the heretical stronghold, so they came to the temple?"

Celia shook her head, looking completely innocent: "Obviously not. Do you remember what they said when they came in? They asked us to help with the treatment..."

Vanessa nodded. "Yes, I remember. This fourth-order heretic couldn't control himself after seeing you. He said you stole their divine artifact. What was it?"

Celia took out the fragment of the Sea God's divine essence. "This is it, a very rare Puppet Heart."

Vanessa reached out to take it, but Celia quickly stopped her:

"Don't touch it! A high-intensity puppet heart will impact the soul; touching it will cause unconsciousness, and those with low soul strength will die!"

Vanessa paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Celia is fine, so how could I be fine if you're alright?"

Celia shook her head firmly: "No! My soul has been strengthened by the gods, so I can withstand it. Vanessa's soul has not been strengthened. If something happens to her, I will blame myself for the rest of my life!"

Seeing that Celia was so determined, Vanessa had no choice but to give up.

She looked thoughtfully at the fragment of the sea god's divine essence, as if she understood something: "So, perhaps they didn't follow you here, but rather, when they came seeking treatment, they discovered that you were carrying this puppet heart and recognized you."

Celia nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that must be it!"

Ross stood to the side, smiling without saying a word.

He knew those heretics would definitely come after him, as long as the sea god still wanted to take back the fragment of his divine essence.

Of course, he wouldn't tell.

It's best for Celia to know nothing about the Sea God.

After all, the Holy Court now worships the Holy Court, which is led by the twelve Olympian gods.

Although it's unclear why this sea god would abandon the faith power of the Holy Court and instead go to a heretical religion to absorb faith.

All questions can only be answered after meeting the other person.

"Sigh, it seems this really isn't your fault. But next time you do something like this, report to me first. If I hadn't just reached the fourth rank, those heretics would have already killed everyone in Star Ash Town."

"I didn't know this would happen." At this moment, Celia's attitude of admitting her mistake was very sincere.

Of course, admitting mistakes is one thing, but shirking responsibility is also a must.

Anyway, it's all the infidels' fault!

After explaining the events of yesterday to Vanessa in detail, she mentioned that she had already reported the situation to the Holy See headquarters.

Vanessa nodded: "That's good. The temple was due for repair anyway. Now that it's destroyed, it's time to rebuild it."

"However, before we rebuild, you need to find everything in the temple for me! Now! Right now!"

"Okay, Vanessa Mom!"

A vigorous rescue operation was immediately launched.

Of course, the rescue target was not people, but the various documents and valuables inside the temple.

Seeing this, the two assistant priests also came over to help.

However, they were physically weaker and lacked the abilities of Celia and Vanessa, as well as their magical puppets.

The golem is the main force in searching the ruins.

Celia suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Vanessa, doesn't that fourth-order heretic have any magic puppets?"

“Yes, I dismantled it, and scattered the Puppet Heart,” Vanessa said gently.

Celia: "..."

Vanessa laughed and said, "His puppet has been completely corrupted and can only be driven by the corruption. The same goes for the puppet's heart. It's of no use to us. We might as well dismantle it all."

Celia said, "Oh, I was thinking of dismantling his puppet and selling the parts to make up for the temple's losses."

Vanessa said, "It doesn't matter. A fourth-order heretic is worth far more than his puppet."

Celia nodded and said nothing more.

The fourth-order heretic was still lying to one side, like a stray dog.

When the two deacons of the temple were helping to move things, they would deliberately kick him twice as they passed by, to show their dislike.

Celia didn't kick, afraid of getting her shoes dirty.

While they were searching for things in the ruins, a large crowd gathered outside, and every now and then, kind-hearted people would come over to ask if they needed any help.

"High Priestess Vanessa has helped us so much, it's only right that we help you clean up!"

“Yes, we’ve received so much help from High Priestess Vanessa before, so it’s time for us to help you!”

"These heretics deserve to die! How dare they come to the temple to cause trouble! Tsk!"

Faced with the enthusiastic crowd, Vanessa had no choice but to use her magic to focus on her vocal cords and make a loud voice so that everyone could hear: "It's not that we don't want your help, but the heretics destroyed the temple and left a lot of pollution in it. If you come into contact with this pollution, you will get sick, and in severe cases, it will shorten your lifespan and make you age quickly."

"I appreciate everyone's kindness. As sorcerers, we should handle this kind of thing. You all go about your business."

Someone shouted, "Since the high priest won't let us help, why don't we go find some lamps and light the way for him?"

"Great! I happen to have a crystal chandelier at home!"

The crowd dispersed in a rush.

Celia couldn't help but smile.

so good.

But the next second, her smile froze.

Because Ross's voice echoed in her mind:

“Some heretics have run away.”
