Chapter 234 Test
"It can only be suppressed, not dispelled. Why?"

Celia was puzzled.

“It wasn’t that I was able to… no, it seems like I was always the one assisting.”

Elena nodded. "Yes, you always help me with the dispelling. At first, I thought your help was just to speed up the dispelling process. But after you went to scout out the enemy's situation and I purified the curse on my own, I realized that the elven blessing can only suppress the curse, not dispel it."

"If you hadn't left earlier and hadn't helped me disperse the swarms, I wouldn't have noticed."

"So that's how it is. Is it a drawback of the elven blessing?" Celia stepped forward to assist Elena in dispelling the curse.

After treating the patient, she proposed an idea: "Let me try to see if I can dispel it."

"it is good."

Elena stepped aside.

Guided by the mage's hand and taught purification techniques, he began to delve alone into the source of the curse.

After a moment, Celia shook her head, "Can't dispel it, even worse than you..."

After Elena came over and helped Celia heal the patient, she asked curiously, "Could it be that the combination of elven blessing and purification spell has such a miraculous effect?"

Celia looked at her hands and said, "My purification spell is a little different from the Holy Court's purification spell, but I do know about the Holy Court's purification spell. Shall we try it out?"

Elena nodded. "Of course I'll use it. Why wouldn't I? I almost forgot you seem to come from the temple."

Celia's heart skipped a beat; she felt a little guilty.

Elena only knew that she came from Star Ash Town, and she didn't know that she also had the identity of a Holy Maiden of the Holy Court.

According to her claim of hating the Holy Court, she might not hate herself in the remote temple, but she must hate herself as a saintess.

Sigh, how could the Holy Court have been so wicked 500 years ago?

No... the Holy Court now is also full of corrupt officials.

Once I have enough power, I will definitely rectify this situation!

For the next patient, Elena used an elven blessing, and Celia changed her purification spell, using a purification spell from the Holy Court, and carried them into the cursed battlefield with the Mage's Hand.

She quickly realized something was wrong.

"The Holy Court's purification spell cannot be combined with the Elven blessing."

After Ross's purification spell is added to the battlefield of curses, it can work in conjunction with Elena's elven blessing to fight together and dispel all curses.

Even with the Mage's Hand controlling it, the Holy Court's purification spell could not be effectively used in conjunction with the battlefield.

Furthermore, if the magic of the purification spell comes close to the magic of the elven blessing, the two will recognize each other as adversaries and attack each other—Celia can control the purification spell to prevent it from attacking, but Elena cannot; she cannot control it.

Ross chuckled, “The Holy Court’s purification spell and the buff from the Elven blessing… well, the blessing effect can’t coexist; only one can exist at a time. The purification spell I taught you solves this problem, which is why it can be used in conjunction with the Elven blessing.”

Celia suddenly realized what was happening and quickly changed her purification spell, using Ross's purification spell in conjunction with Elena's to treat the patient.

When she tried to use the Holy Court Purification spell to help Elena dispel the curse, the mercenary brother, who was being used as a test subject, wore a mask of pain the whole time. The two incompatible blessing spells, under the influence of the curse, directly turned his body into a battlefield. The conflict of the three magical powers brought him intense pain.

He didn't cry out; he kept holding it in, sweat pouring down his face, without uttering a sound, which made Celia feel embarrassed.

After the treatment, Celia apologized, "Sorry, there was a small problem with the treatment just now. As compensation, we won't charge you for this treatment." The mercenary's lips were a little pale, and he forced a smile, "N-no problem, I'm a member of the Eternal Night Mercenary Group. I can endure this little pain with my eyes closed! We won't skimp on the price!"

Upon hearing that the other party was the Eternal Night Mercenary Group, Celia couldn't help but think of the tunnel they had dug and asked curiously, "Has the Eternal Night Mercenary Group dug any more of that secret tunnel?"

The mercenary shook his head: "No more. We kept digging, but we encountered too many traps and defensive arrays. After digging horizontally, we determined that this was just a subspace relic buried in the mountain. There was no treasure inside, and digging in would only disrupt the operation of the arrays, which might cause the relic to be lost. So we stopped digging."

Celia nodded. "Thank you."

"No, I should be thanking you!"

With that, he threw down 20 silver coins and ran away.

The two exchanged a glance, somewhat amused and exasperated.

"This Eternal Night Mercenary Group seems pretty good."

"That's right. The leader of the Royal Mercenary Group even came to ask us for a refund after learning that we had lowered our prices. The Eternal Night Mercenary Group hasn't shown up at all; they're probably focused on conquering the ruins."

After the mercenary from the Eternal Night Mercenary Group left, the two had some free time.

Everyone else had already run to the medical booths across the street and were waiting in line.

The cost of treating most of Celia's mercenaries is 10 silver coins, with a few serious cases costing 20 silver coins, and extremely minor cases costing less than 10 silver coins.

The price on the other side is 5 silver coins. For ordinary mercenaries, wasting a little time queuing can save them 5 silver coins, which is a very worthwhile deal.

Only those with more serious conditions, who can't wait in line, will come to find Celia and the other person.

Neither Celia nor Elena paid any attention to this.

If no one's around, just chat to pass the time; it's a good way to relax.

This treatment doesn't actually make much money; the majority of the profits come from magic crystals obtained during exploration and materials scattered from traps.

Magic crystals are relatively easy to sort. Those that fall from or are dismantled from trap magic devices need to be taken to the Mercenary Guild or the Mage Guild for appraisal and valuation before they can be sorted.

Celia had already made a plan. Of the magic crystals she received, she would keep a few as reserves and sell the rest. As for the materials, she would see if there were any usable ones, and if not, she would sell them as well.

"I need to find some time to go to the city to sell things."

Celia looked at the stall across the street: "Elena, how long can the elven blessing suppress the curse?"

“Judging from the duration of the blessing, it can suppress it for at least an hour, and at most one or two days.” Elena was also watching. “They cannot dispel the curse, but after temporarily suppressing it, they can perform treatment. However, if multiple treatments are needed, multiple dispellings will be required… I wonder how long this curse will last after being afflicted.”

"It will last at least a month," Celia said.

"That takes so long." Elena looked at her two elven brethren with some concern. "What if the mercenaries find that they can't be dispelled and are only temporarily suppressed? Will they cause trouble for them?"

Celia laughed and said, "They're your competitors, why are you concerned about them?"

"We are all elves, so it is only right that we help each other."

Celia glanced at the Royal Mercenary Group members behind the two elves and said meaningfully, "You want to help each other, but it seems like they're after you."

 Thank you Crow for the 100-point reward!
