Chapter 209 The Holy Maiden is Vengeful!

After returning to her room with Celia, Elena rubbed her stomach, which she had only had time to eat a little bit of food, and said through gritted teeth, "Thank you so much, Miss Celia, for getting me out of that predicament. I really appreciate it."

Celia turned around and smiled, revealing her white teeth: "You're welcome. I should thank you for letting me have a free lunch at the city lord's feast."

Elena was so angry she wanted to bite him.

goo~
But then, her stomach suddenly growled.

Elena's face visibly turned red.

Celia was shocked: "Didn't you eat?"

Elena: “…”

Celia apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you hadn't eaten. Why don't you go and eat something now? The city lord and the others shouldn't have left yet."

Elena immediately shook her head. "No, I'm not hungry. I'm leaving now. Thank you for saving me last night, and thank you for your 'hospitality' earlier. See you again someday."

After saying that, she went into the room and began packing her belongings.

She packed quickly; she only had a small bag with a few sets of clothes inside, and that was it.

After putting everything away, she picked up the package and looked at the Pure Magic Crystal that Celia had placed in the wardrobe in her room. She hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Miss Celia, could you sell me that magic crystal?"

Celia glanced at it and said, "That's what I use to power my staff; I don't sell it in principle."

"In principle, we don't sell," meaning we'll only sell if the price is right.

But pure magic crystals are extremely rare and hard to come by.

Basically, once one appears, it's put on the auction house, with a starting price of at least 1000 gold coins, something that even high-level mages would be interested in.

1000 gold coins is a lot, because an average family's annual income is only about ten gold coins, and that's assuming the whole family works together.

Moreover, those were all converted according to the official exchange rate. In reality, ordinary families rarely held gold coins, and mostly held copper and silver coins.

For sorcerers, most items are priced in gold, but items that cost 1000 gold are still in the minority.

Moreover, if there is a large demand, it could probably sell for four or five thousand gold coins.

This is a number that even ordinary nobles would envy.

If Elena can offer a price that appeals to Celia, Celia wouldn't mind selling.

This magic crystal, having been used by the Deep Sea Aid Society for a long time, has long been tainted by demonic energy. Furthermore, according to Ross, the magic crystal's value has been greatly diminished because it has been used as a medium for transmitting faith for a long time.

Ross gave Celia a metaphor called "mining card." Celia didn't know what "mining card" meant, but she knew that this description must mean that this magic crystal was much worse than an unused magic crystal.

"Unused magic crystals can probably only be found in magic crystal mines, which are truly rare and hard to come by," Celia thought.

Elena stared longingly at the Pure Magic Crystal and said, "I... I don't actually have many gold coins. How about this, I know an ancient ruin that has never been set foot in. I'll tell you where it is, and you give me the Pure Magic Crystal in return."

Celia's smile vanished.

"Walk slowly, don't send."

A mere underground city.

What's so strange about that?

If you say you'll conquer the dungeon, guarantee to complete it, and give me everything inside, then I might be interested.

If I remember correctly, after conquering the Lost Lighthouse, the team received a total reward of over three thousand gold coins.

This doesn't even include all the loot they collected as they fought their way into the lighthouse.

Those things were actually quite nice, but the situation was urgent at the time, and they didn't have time to pick up the fallen items, especially those on the fourth floor.

After Celia fainted, she stopped paying attention to the fate of those things.

It's too late to think about it now; I can only ask Doris, the team leader, or Abros, the instructor, when I get back to school. "I'm serious. No one has discovered that ancient ruin yet. I only looked at it from the outside, but I'm sure there are tons of rare items and materials inside!" Elena said hurriedly.

Celia said, "After you conquer that ancient ruin, use the rewards you get from the conquest to exchange for it with me. I promise I'll exchange it. Oh, and bring the conquest completion certificate with you too, so I can exchange it for gold coins with the Holy Court."

Elena: “…”

She glanced at the Pure Magic Crystal one last time with reluctance, then left.

Celia picked up the Pure Magic Crystal and examined it carefully.

"I have a feeling that Elena's desire for the Pure Magic Crystal is not for some ulterior motive."

Ross said, "While monitoring Elena, I cast the Yesterday Once More spell on the puppet, magically recording some of her actions. Don't you want to take a look?"

Celia was taken aback, her eyes widening. "Isn't this a bad idea?"

As she spoke, she released the Yesterday Replay spell stored within the puppet, creating a projection that filled the entire room.

The entire process covered everything from when Elena woke up until Celia returned, but Celia didn't pay attention to the less important parts. What she was more interested in was the change in Elena's expression after she took a bath.

Before taking a bath, she was affected by the pollution, which caused her expression to show a hint of pain.

But after washing, she looked refreshed, as if the pain caused by the pollution had disappeared.

"Was the pollution purified after she took a bath?" Celia asked.

Ross nodded and smiled, "Yes, this elf girl is very interesting. She stabilized her demonic energy after taking a bath. Even without your purification, she can find a way to purify it herself later."

"Then why is she still waiting for me to come back and purify her?" Celia asked, puzzled.

Ross said calmly, "I won't let her leave."

Celia: "...Okay."

Celia quickly reviewed Elena's subsequent actions but found nothing unusual about her, because the Recreation Spell could only recreate images and could not sense the magical fluctuations and physical condition of the target within those images.

After reading it, Celia pondered, "So she's from the Elven royal family?"

Ross shook his head: "She wasn't lying. She's not royalty, but her situation is more interesting than that of the elven royalty. If possible, try to get to know her better and see if you can figure out what's special about her."

"But...we just let her leave, so we probably won't have a chance to meet again, right?"

"You can stay here and try staying for a few more days."

"Should we wait for her to come to our door?"

"Yes, the Pure Magic Crystal has a special use for her, so she definitely won't give up. Keep the magic crystal with you these next few days and be careful not to lose it."

“Okay!” Celia nodded, then remembered something else: “Speaking of which, there’s something else I haven’t done yet.”

"What is it?" This time it was Ross who was puzzled.

"I'm going to report that old man named Dark," the girl said angrily. "He extorted 4 gold coins from me! He can't let this go."

Ross fell silent, a rare occurrence.

He had completely forgotten about it if Celia hadn't mentioned it.

"Are you going to talk to the city lord?"

“No, I want to assist the city lord in planning the reconstruction of the magic circle.” Celia said apologetically, “Although they all say it has nothing to do with me, the damage to the magic circle, the temple and the castle is closely related to me. I can’t help with the castle and the temple, but I think I can still help with the magic circle.”

"Of course! The main purpose is to block up that old man's hole by rebuilding the magic array!"

Ross: "..."

So you invented nuclear fusion so you could get into college?
