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

Chapter 266 Celia: How could I possibly accept that?
That day, after finishing her morning meditation, Celia opened her eyes, sensed something, and was very disappointed.

"The Arctic Blood Alliance people aren't coming? Fine, if they're not coming, then I'm going to school."

Today is the day she goes to school.

During this time, she spent her days meditating, using spells, taking baths, and refining her magic.

By the time she went to school, her magic refinement had successfully reached 100%.

Because most of her magic power is being refined, her total magic power hasn't changed much and is far from reaching the limit of her current rank.

Regarding spell proficiency, the spells shatter and crystal arrow, which Ross emphasized, were successfully mastered thanks to her exceptionally high ice talent. However, Mage's Hand remained at the master level, far from the "subtle" level Ross had described… Celia was completely baffled.

The progress of the newly learned Mystic Web technique is not as slow as that of the Space type, but it is not as fast as that of the Ice type either. After such a long time, I have only become slightly proficient.

In terms of passive spells, Water Reversal and Danger Sense have also become easy to master, allowing the passive spells to unleash power equivalent to a regular Tier 1 Fireball when used for defense.

"Although I haven't tried it, if I faced the Blue Winged Seahorse again now, I certainly wouldn't be as pathetic as before. Maybe I could even withstand its final frenzy and shoot it dead!"

"I say confidently," Celia said.

The most direct benefit of increasing spell proficiency and magic refinement is that when using ice spells, she can use them without wasting a single bit of magic or causing any waste in spell performance.

With the improved skill level, she only needs half the size and half the magic power to destroy the ghost ship, unlike before when she had to exhaust all her magic power to barely destroy it.

That way, I can save up some magic power and use it to shoot a few arrows at the Blue Winged Seahorse.

Feeling herself growing stronger, Celia smiled and hummed a bard's song as she packed her things to take to school.

A moment later, everything was packed up, and Vanessa walked in from outside. Seeing that Celia had finished packing, she smiled and said, "Celia, are you leaving?"

Celia nodded: "I'm going back to school now, Vanessa Mom. Take good care of yourself at home, okay? I'll try to find a job here to come see you!"

Vanessa was a little reluctant to see Celia leave, but when she heard what she said, she couldn't help but laugh: "Don't you dare destroy the rebuilt temple again."

"would not!"

Vanessa stepped forward, brushed a strand of hair from Celia's head, patted her shoulder, and sighed, "The next time I see you, you might be a third-tier mage. Good luck, Celia. I look forward to seeing you become a saintess. It's a pity your Vanessa mother can't help you much."

Celia smiled and said, "Vanessa being well is the greatest help to me. I am a saint, protected and helped by the gods!"

Vanessa nodded. "Go ahead, or you'll miss the Southern Border City patrol car. I'll pack your things at home. The teleportation device isn't finished yet, otherwise I would have let you stay until the first day of school."

The construction process of a directional teleportation device is much more complicated than that of a temple; even a small one cannot be built overnight.

At this moment, the construction of the temple is more than half completed, while the directional teleportation device is still in the foundation stage and is estimated to take more than a year to complete.

Celia slung her backpack over her shoulder, summoned her magic puppet, picked up her luggage, and left the room. Turning back, she waved to Vanessa, "I'm off then, Vanessa Mama, goodbye!"

"Goodbye. When you get to Southern Border City, remember to say goodbye to the bishop and the city lord."

"Ok!"

...Leaving Starash Town, Celia boarded her flying broom and flew towards Southern City. During the flight, she asked Ross, "Lord Ross, do you think the Arctic Blood Alliance hasn't noticed that their stronghold has been destroyed, which is why they haven't made a move until now?"

Ross laughed and said, "Based on your description of the Arctic Blood Alliance, this heretic is much more cautious than the Deep Sea Aid Society. They won't be as high-profile as the Deep Sea Aid Society, and faith crystals aren't anything valuable, unlike pure magic crystals."

"They may already know, but they're just unlucky. Unless one of the Holy Court or the city lord is a mole, it's not easy for you to be targeted by them."

Celia thought for a moment and nodded: "That's true. At the time, only Vanessa, the bishop, and the city lord knew that I was the one who summoned them. No one else knew. Even if there was a mole or something, they wouldn't be able to find me."

"Stop trying to do one last thing before you go back to school. If you accidentally miss the start of the semester, your professors will have to search the whole world for you."

“Alright.” Celia put her thoughts aside and then smiled. “Indeed, everything that happened before was just a coincidence. How could I be so devilish? Don’t you think so, Mr. Ross?”

Ross smiled without saying a word.

Celia pouted.

They arrived in Southern City without incident, and successfully bid farewell to the bishop and the city lord, delivering a message to them.

Upon learning that Celia was going to Shining City, the city lord immediately offered that she could use the South City's teleportation device to go there, without having to take a day-long patrol car.

No matter how much Celia declined, the city lord insisted that she ride the directional teleportation device.

Even if she doesn't come, he'll still start it once.

“Activating a directional teleporter doesn’t cost much, Miss Celia. It costs 5 silver coins to travel from here to Shining City by patrol car, but the directional teleporter only costs 20 gold coins.”

"20 gold coins isn't enough?"

Celia was shocked.

How many scrolls does she need to sell to earn 20 gold coins?

A patrol car costs 5 silver coins, while a teleporter costs 20 gold coins. Do you think there's only a tenfold difference between the two?

According to the official exchange rate, this is a price difference of four hundred times.

It would take an average family at least two years to earn 20 gold coins.

If one copper coin is considered equivalent to one dollar, then 20 gold coins at the official exchange rate would be 200,000. Ross also felt that this price was too expensive and not something an ordinary person could afford.

He said, "I remember when I was developing transportation, the price of a directional teleporter was only about 5 gold coins, which is about the same as the price of your patrol vehicle."

Celia nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, that's why I've only ridden it when the school uses it. I've never ridden it at other times. I only ride it if it's not free!"

"The 20 gold coins belong to someone else. Miss Celia helped Southern Border City design the protective array. Such a great contribution, how could we possibly charge her? No matter how many times Miss Celia uses the directional teleportation device, we will give it to you for free for life!" said City Lord Punil.

Celia's eyes lit up: "How could I possibly accept that?"

Then he followed Punil to the directional teleporter.
