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

Chapter 253 Holy crap, so fast?
"How did I fall asleep?"

Elena kept thinking about this question even after returning to the camp.

Knowing the specifics, Celia simply smiled and said, "You learned about the deeds of the Elf God and where he was, and you fainted in your excitement. That's perfectly normal."

"really?"

Elena was still puzzled.

Celia said helplessly, "What's the point of you worrying about this?"

“That’s true…” Elena nodded, deciding to put aside her doubts. She asked, “Speaking of which, what happened after I ‘fell asleep’?”

Celia brandished the Myriad Lights Sword in her hand and said, "Mr. Jonathan gave me several tests, and after answering them all fluently, I received this reward."

Elena looked it over and said with some envy, "This sword is so beautiful and looks very strong. It's a pity. If I hadn't fallen asleep, I would definitely have received a good bow as a reward."

"So Elena is an archer?" Celia asked in surprise. "I've never seen you use a weapon before."

Elena said, "Because only in the Elf Forest can we unleash the full potential of the bow; once we're outside, I've been using magic."

Celia blinked: "I thought it was because you didn't have good weapons."

Elena immediately became agitated: "No, I am of elven royalty! I can take any bow from the entire elven race!"

“I believe you can take any of the Elven bows, but you are of Elven royalty… I don’t believe it.”

"I... no, I obtained the relics of the Elf God. This is even more fortunate than the Elf royal family. Hmph, when I get back, I'll show those corrupt Elf elders who the Elf God truly favors!"

Elena smiled, seemingly lost in her own fantasy, already feeling triumphant.

They chatted and laughed all the way back to the camp.

Celia said, "This ruin is now complete. Elena, what are your plans?"

Elena said, "I have received what I was entitled to. I am ready to return to the Elf Forest to reclaim what is rightfully mine."

Celia nodded: "That's good. I hope to hear good news next time I see you."

Elena extended an invitation: "Want to come with me? The Fairy Forest is a lot of fun."

Celia shook her head: "I'm not going. I'm going back to Star Ash Town and staying there until school starts. The Elf Forest... I'll go another time if I have the chance."

“So Celia is still a student.” Elena blinked and said with a smile, “I’m a student too. Maybe we’ll have a chance to meet again.”

Celia laughed and said, "Are you coming to Ishtar as an exchange student?"

"hey-hey."

Elena did not answer.

As she was packing her things to leave, Celia said, "Don't go yet. Let me go sell the voucher to Pascal of the Royal Mercenary Group and get the remaining gold coins before I leave."

Elena paused for a moment, then quickly remembered and nodded, "Okay!"

That's 1,200 gold coins. If you divide it equally, each person will get 600 gold coins. How many nobles and gangsters would you have to 'borrow' money from to save that much?

Elena felt that if she didn't take it, she would be struck by lightning.

After reminding Elena, Celia left the tent and went straight to the Royal Mercenary Group's camp.

The mercenaries stationed at the camp were already quite familiar with Celia. Upon seeing her approach, one of them asked, "Miss Celia, are you looking for Commander Emilia or Commander Pascal?"

Celia said, "I'm looking for Pascal."

The mercenary, who was about to inform them, paused for a moment, turned back in surprise, and then nodded: "Okay, it's good that Commander Pascal is here. I'll go and report to you."

"It's troublesome."

A moment later, the mercenary returned. "Miss Celia, please come with me."

"Thank you."

"..." Inside Pascal's reception tent.

Pascal, as before, sat at the far end of the room, directly opposite the door, with guests sitting on either side of him.

He was slightly taken aback when he saw that Celia had come alone, then asked with a smile, "Miss Celia, what brings you here?"

“It concerns transactions involving vouchers,” Celia said.

Pascal laughed and said, "What difficulties have you encountered? Tell us, and we can assist you in climbing, but of course, it won't be free."

Celia shook her head and said succinctly, "We got the credentials for the twelfth floor."

"Not difficulties... What? You got the credentials for the twelfth floor? So fast?"

Pascal looked shocked.

How many days has it been?

If Pascal remembers correctly, they reached the agreement the day before yesterday, and yesterday's intelligence showed that Celia didn't leave the house at all.

They didn't leave the camp until this morning to explore.

As a result, only half a day had passed, and it wasn't even dark yet, when they successfully obtained the certificate for the last layer.

Excluding their attempt to conquer the twelfth floor, it means they cleared three floors in one go in half a day?

When Emilia mentioned how quickly Celia and Elena completed the game, he didn't realize it because he thought it would take them a long time.

He factored in the preparation time, so it appears that it took him many days to reach the ninth floor.

Today, Celia gave him a real shock.

Pascal felt his hands trembling.

He gripped the table, somewhat incredulous. "Miss Celia, are you sure you're not lying to me?"

Celia looked at Pascal without saying a word, then turned her back to him. When she turned back, she removed her disguise and revealed her true appearance.

Pascal was startled, his face showing surprise: "Celia?!"

Of course, his shock wasn't because Celia revealed her true appearance, but because Celia actually removed her disguise.

this means……

Celia already knew that he knew Celia's identity.

Similarly, this also serves as strong evidence for why one could clear the ruins in one go.

After all, not long ago, she and her team of other saintesses cleared a ruin that hadn't been explored for decades.

Celia said, "Give me the remaining one thousand gold coins, Your Highness Pascal."

Pascal said awkwardly, "Um, I'm sorry, Miss Celia, I misjudged your completion time. I haven't prepared that many gold coins yet. Can you give me a little time?"

Celia nodded. "No problem. Can we get the money by tomorrow? I need to get back in a hurry and can't stay here for too long."

Pascal: "I'll try."

Celia said, "Perhaps you can ask your sister for help. In the entire Royal Mercenary Group, only the two of you are strong enough to conquer the ruins relatively smoothly."

Pascal immediately shook his head: "No need, I'm enough on my own."

Celia said, "If you don't have enough by tomorrow, I'll tell your sister that we've reached the twelfth floor."

"One thousand gold coins, I will personally deliver them to you tomorrow!"

"That's good."

Celia smiled.

Prince Pascal, you should enjoy this gift!
