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

Chapter 236 Isn't this just to make you feel involved?
The mercenary covered his head in terror, only to find that no more blood was flowing out. The place he touched was icy cold, frozen solid to stop the bleeding.

A purification spell emanated from Ross, accompanied by a healing spell. Guided by the mental tendrils of the mage's hand, a large amount of magic flowed into the mercenary's body.

Celia began to perceive things seriously.

In her perception, the healing spell took effect first, then the curse began to take effect, preventing the healing spell from working. Just then, the holy magic of the purification spell appeared, dispelling all the curse factors that were hindering the healing spell from taking effect.

Celia seemed to understand: "Purifying while the curse is in effect can have an effect similar to an elven blessing, but the purification spell Lord Ross used is a little different from the one I was taught before..."

Ross's voice entered Celia's mind: "Purification isn't a rigid spell. It's a spell that can be used from low-level to high-level. It can deal with almost all negative effects, some strong and some weak. You need to learn to use it flexibly, discover which part of the purification spell is effective against the target, strengthen that part of the magic circuit, and ignore the rest..."

Celia nodded repeatedly, carefully noting down what Ross said.

Even while teaching, Ross did not stop purifying and healing.

He even took the time to pull the two arrows out of the mercenary's chest.

When the treatment ended, the mercenary, still in pain and sweating profusely, looked at Ross with awe.

Ross said calmly, "Ten silver coins, next."

"Thank you, thank you." He put down 10 silver coins and ran away.

The next one was a mercenary whose body was charred in many places. He looked at 'Chilia' with some fear and hesitated whether he should sit down.

"Sit down," Ross said in a low voice.

He was so frightened that he immediately sat down.

Ross looked you over and said, "Your charred skin is useless now. I'll peel it off and replace it with a new layer."

The mercenary who had been burned shuddered and immediately tried to run: "No, I feel perfectly healthy, I don't need to... Why can't I move... Ah!"

Another scream.

Ross used four spells this time: Healing, Purify, Frost Freeze, and a water-based healing spell called Rejuvenate.

This spell, when used after treatment, can accelerate wound healing and is especially effective for burns, severed nerves, fractures, and scars.

When Rose used it, the effect was even more powerful.

Beneath the torn, scorched skin, blood-red granulation tissue rapidly forms new skin under the nourishment of water. It is very tender, like a baby's skin, but it quickly synchronizes with the skin in other parts of the body, turning into old skin that is completely unrecognizable as new.

This process is still very painful.

But the effect was excellent.

After the treatment, the mercenary, whose lips were pale, looked at his newly grown skin, thanked him earnestly, doubled the treatment fee, and left with unsteady steps.

The third mercenary sat down in fear. He was about to speak when he suddenly froze.

When he saw the elven priestess in front of him, his expression suddenly changed.

Even her demeanor seems different now.

Celia, who had regained control of her body, smiled slightly: "Don't be nervous, you only have a fracture, it's a minor issue."

After a while.

Click!

"what--!"

Celia suddenly found that treatment was quite interesting.

I definitely don't want to see these 'betraying' mercenaries scream in agony.

……

Meanwhile, Elena finished her conversation with the two elves and returned to the camp. Just as she was about to say something, another mercenary screamed, finished his treatment, paid the treatment fee, and left.

Elena watched him leave, stunned.

its not right.

what's the situation?
It seems like Celia handled both the dispelling and healing all by herself?

Elena sat down next to Celia.

Seeing this, Celia shifted her position and said, "You've come at the right time. Let's begin the treatment."

Elena opened her mouth, looking at the purification and healing light that appeared on Celia's hand, a light that seemed slightly different from before. "Celia, you...you could heal on your own before?"

"Oh, no, it's just that I just received a divine revelation and gained some insight into purification magic. This insight unexpectedly allows me to dispel curses," Celia chuckled.

Elena: “…”

"What are you standing there for? It's your turn."

"If you can purify it all by yourself, it seems like you don't need me..."

"Why would you think that? Although I can purify it on my own, I still want you to come with me."

"why?"

Celia blinked: "Isn't this to make you feel more involved?"

Elena: “???”

"Just kidding. It takes a lot of effort for me to work alone. Let's work together. Hurry up, the patient can't wait."

"……okay."

Working together, the two managed to take down all the mercenaries in line.

Celia also took the time to inquire about the two elves.

Elena replied, "They had a dispute with the Royal Mercenary Group's leader, Pascal, because they weren't paid enough for their treatments."

"Too little reward?" Celia asked curiously, "How much can they possibly get for a treatment fee of 5 silver coins?"

Elena shook her head and tapped two fingers on the table. "It's confidential. They didn't tell me."

Celia glanced at Elena's fingers. "Two people?"

Elena nodded.

That means each person gets 1 silver coin, and the remaining 3 silver coins are all taken by the Royal Mercenary Group?
No wonder they argued.

"They signed a contract with Pascal, but felt it was too low, so they wanted to raise the price. Pascal disagreed, telling them that if they wanted to make money, they should raise the price, not break the contract. So they raised the price."

Celia frowned. "This contract... the penalty for breach of contract must be very high."

Elena nodded. "They also want to leave Pascal, but the penalty for breaking their contract is too high. They have to keep going until the Royal Mercenary Group leaves the ruins."

“This Pascal is going a bit too far.” Celia frowned. “He actually shifted the blame for his conflict with the elven priest to a conflict between mercenaries and elven priests… Raising prices is fine, but I wonder if the contract between the two elves has any healing requirements, such as how many people they must heal in a day or something.”

Elena shook her head: "No, they signed an equal and mutual assistance contract, which emphasizes equal responsibility, so there is no such requirement."

"That is not bad."

“I want to help them break free from Pascal’s contract.”

"How do you want to help?"

"I...I've never encountered anything like this before, and I don't know what to do. Celia, can you help me?"

Celia: "..."

She didn't speak, she just stared at Elena.

Elena gritted her teeth: "As for the distribution of the treasure, I'll get four and you get six."

Celia shook her head: "Don't do that. If you want to help them, you don't need to come to me at all. You just need to tell your elf friends that there is an ancient ruin here where you can earn extra money and explore the ruins."

"Isn't this directly cutting off their source of income?"

Celia said calmly, "You just want to help them break free from Pascal's contract, not help them make money. This trick will help you break free from the equal and mutually beneficial contract. But if you want them to make money, go ahead. I can explore the ruins without you."

Elena was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "Sorry, I understand. Shall we set off to continue exploring the ruins?"

"Well, let's go."

　The midday update is delayed because something came up.

　　Sigh, I need to work on stockpiling chapters from now on (is it really possible to stockpile chapters by updating five times a day?).
