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

Chapter 207 A Casual Deal

Whether it's related or not is actually no longer important.

Importantly, Punil needs Celia's help to heal the two puppeteers.

The treatment went smoothly.

The power within the fragment of divinity flowed through her into the bodies of the two unfortunate puppeteers, stopping the continued loss of their souls, and then began to nourish their souls, stabilizing their condition.

However, all Celia could do was stabilize the situation; she couldn't immediately replenish the damage to someone's soul.

Fortunately, there are fruits that replenish the soul.

Following Ross's instructions, Celia wrote down the medicinal herbs and fruits needed and handed them to the city lord, saying, "At most, I can help them stabilize their souls and wake them up, but they will still be very weak after waking up and will need long-term nourishment. It may take two or three years to fully recover."

Punil glanced warily at the fragment of divinity on Celia's fingertip, then nodded. "Understood. I'll go prepare it for them right away."

He then summoned his servant and instructed him to inquire about the herbs and fruits on the list.

After he gave the orders, Celia asked, "Where did you put that puppet heart?"

"Put it in the warehouse. Miss Celia, are you interested in that puppet heart?"

Celia nodded: "I need that Puppet Heart. I wonder if the City Lord could transfer it to me?"

Punil fell into deep thought.

Celia said, "This level of Puppet Heart can no longer be used on puppets. You have seen the situation of that 'puppet.' If you want to use it, you need to reach that level."

"Although this quality of Puppet Heart is very rare and precious, if it cannot be used for puppets, it is actually useless to the city lord. On the contrary, it will attract the attention of the Deep Sea Aid Society, which will come to cause trouble for you every day."

As she spoke, Celia twirled the fragment of divine essence between her fingers and said, "For example, I can now use this Puppet Heart to sense the location of other high-quality Puppet Hearts nearby, um... in that direction, right?"

Punil was startled, then nodded. "Yes, the warehouse is in that direction."

Vanessa frowned: "Celia, what do you need this for?"

Celia smiled slightly, "I have the blessing of the gods, which allows me to withstand the impact of these puppet hearts and even use them to enhance my mental strength and soul power."

Vanessa said, "You said the Deep Sea Aid Society will use other high-quality Puppet Hearts to find your location. If they use them to track you down, that's too dangerous."

Celia shook her head: "No, you need to be very close to be able to sense it, like the day our temple was destroyed, and the last reaction of that 'puppet' last night."

Vanessa and Punil had already put together a storyline that they found convincing, so Celia just went along with it.

"As a student of the Holy Magic Academy, I am in the City of Ember, near the Temple of Ember. If the Deep Sea Aid Society gets too close, they will be discovered."

Seeing that Punil was still somewhat reluctant to part, Celia said, "Since the city lord is reluctant to let you go, then so be it. I won't force you. Mother Vanessa, I'm going back now to the inn to continue making scrolls."

Vanessa nodded. "Okay, go ahead."

Just as Celia was about to leave, Punil called out to her, "Wait a minute."

"Is there anything else, Lord City Lord?" Celia turned around.

"Ahem, Miss Celia, don't be in a hurry. I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you. I just hope that after you take the things, you can introduce me to someone."

Celia smiled. "Of course, no problem. It's nothing."

She knew that Punil meant to introduce her to the elven royal family.

That doesn't matter, it's just something I do.

Of course, if Punil doesn't give you the Puppet Heart, this seemingly easy task becomes somewhat inconvenient.

Punil saw that Celia left directly and understood this, so in the end, he came to his senses.

That puppet heart is indeed a high-quality puppet heart, and it looks quite valuable.

But that's based on the premise that it's useful.

The Heart of the Puppet cannot be used on a puppet; its value is no different from that of ordinary jade.

It's one thing if you can't use it yourself, but it's another if you can't give it to others. Isn't that just useless? You might sell it to someone, and if that person accidentally touches it, they'll faint on the spot, and you'll even get swindled out of money.

Some things are precious only in the hands of certain people; to others, they are worthless.

Just like ancient fossils, you might think fossils are valuable, but they are only valuable to a specific group of people; they are worthless to others.

If you try to raise prices using this as an excuse, and they simply ignore you, there's nothing you can do.

Compared to fossils, this puppet heart is much more dangerous. Not to mention whether it will be sensed by heretics entering the city, even in daily preservation, if someone is not careful and touches it, it could be the death of a person.

So after thinking it over, Punil decided to use it to exchange for an introduction from the Elven royal family. If he could establish a connection with the Elven royal family and discuss trade with them, it would play an important role in the development of Southern City.

Led by Punil, Celia quickly arrived at the warehouse where the Puppet Hearts were stored. As she approached, the Puppet Heart in her hand immediately emitted a faint light, resonating with her.

Seeing this situation, Punil sighed inwardly.

Punil took a small box from the warehouse shelf, deciphered the password, and opened it. The puppet heart inside emitted a faint light, corresponding to the one in Celia's hand.

Ross said, "It's also a Puppet Heart of the same type, but twice as strong as the one you have."

It's twice as strong, or two-tenths as strong.

Roth clicked his tongue in amazement and asked Ethel in the sealed land, "How many parts did you divide your divinity into?"

Ethel replied, “Five portions. The largest one is where I am sleeping. One was used by you to lure me, one was used by me to fall into your trap, and the other two are similar to the one you used to lure me, in the Deep Sea Aid Society.”

Tell me where you sleep.

Ethel snorted: "The girl you brought can't go to the sea."

"You don't need to worry about it, just give me the coordinates."

"No."

boom!
Ethel was sent flying backwards.

"To give it to or not to give it to?"

"Do not……"

boom!
After giving Ethel a good beating, Ross said calmly, "Godhood is useless to me. I don't care if you don't say it, but from now on I'll beat you up every day."

"Ross, you monster!"

boom!
for a long time.

"Cough cough cough, the coordinates are in the Tranquil Sea... Are you satisfied now? You damned demon! If you have the guts, just kill me!"

"That's more like it, why do you have to get a beating?"

Ross rubbed his fist and smiled, "I won't kill you. Of course, you can commit suicide, and I'll help you spread the legend of your suicide."

"you……"

……

Meanwhile, on Celia's side, Punil saw Celia take out the Puppet Heart without any apparent reason, and his eyes were full of envy and eagerness.

He considered himself a fourth-tier mage, stronger than a puppeteer, and believed he could withstand the attack.

Celia saw through his thoughts and smiled, "The impact of the Puppet Heart has nothing to do with strength, only with the strength of the soul. If Lord City Lord has ever increased his soul strength, then he can also touch it. Has Lord City Lord ever increased his soul strength?"

Punil shook his head.

The soul is something that modern mages have little to do with. Almost no monsters or mages can directly attack the soul; at most, they can only attack the mental space.

Punil watched with reluctance as Celia put away the Puppet Heart, sighing inwardly, thinking, "She is a Holy Maiden of the Holy Court, so consider it a donation to the Holy Court. I can only try to see if I can get some benefits from the Holy Court."
