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

Chapter 268 Doris: Why doesn't Celia come to find me?

After chatting with Benovia for a while, Celia said goodbye and left.

After thinking it over, she felt she couldn't show favoritism, so she contacted Anko, went to Anko's medicine laboratory, took a look, borrowed a few bottles of medicine from her, and then went to visit Phil, who was treating people at the rescue center outside the Temple of Ember.

Phil was still heavily contaminated with demonic energy, but thankfully, it was much better than when the Lighthouse was lost.

Celia was puzzled: "Even if the purification speed is slow, it should have purified all the pollutants in the body by now, right?"

They are saints with exceptionally high talent; mere pollution is nothing to them.

It turned out that Phil still had it on him.

Phil said, "I went to many places during the holidays and cleaned up pollution for many people. I picked up some pollution from them, but it's nothing."

Celia: "..."

Phil seems to have embarked on a very peculiar path. Celia, thinking of those heretics who use pollution and magic to enhance their strength, couldn't help but ask, "Phil, you're not going to use this pollution to combine with magic to enhance your strength, are you?"

Phil shook his head: "No, letting pollution erode demonic energy will only make the magic weaker. Once it is purified, not only will the strength regress, but it will also have aftereffects."

Celia nodded: "It's good that you know."

Ross said, "Celia, let me check on Phil's condition."

Celia paused for a moment, then nodded slightly. "Okay."

She let Ross control her body, sat down next to Phil, and after Phil finished treating the patient, she reached out and grabbed her wrist, through which a wisp of magic entered her body.

'Celia's' sudden action startled Phil, who tried to break free: 'Celia, you...'

“Don’t move,” 'Celia' said.

Phil paused, feeling a strange familiarity with that unwavering tone, like…

Just like that sir.

But in front of her was Celia...

Phil stared blankly as 'Celia' took her pulse. After a moment, 'Celia' withdrew her magic and reverted to the real Celia.

Celia waved her hand in front of Phil: "What are you daydreaming about?"

Phil snapped out of his daze and shook his head. "N-nothing, you were just now..."

Without blinking, Celia said, "I'm examining your body."

Phil tilted his head, his long white hair hanging down, and blinked his red pupils: "?"

Then Celia saw Ross's phantom appear beside Phil, patting Phil's head in a virtual gesture.

Celia snorted and said, "I'm just checking to see what the pollution in your body is like. Don't worry about it. I won't cleanse you of the pollution without your permission."

The purification technique of the Ross Church can actually quickly cleanse Phil of the pollution, but at the cost of her suffering like a heretic, spending years in bed and developing chronic illnesses.

If you want to avoid any lasting effects, you'll need long-term treatment, or you can do what Phil did: transfer the pollution from others onto yourself and gradually eradicate it.

The difference between the two is that the former is like cutting through tangled hemp with a sharp knife, while the latter picks out strands one by one. The Holy Court's purification spell, when used at high power, is gentler, like forcibly pulling a rope, removing as much as possible.

Celia would never do that to her own people.

After chatting with Phil for a while, she left so as not to disturb Phil's treatment.

After leaving, Celia asked, "Lord Ross, how is Phil doing?"

Ross laughed and said, "She has been corrupted by demonic energy for a long time and has gradually found the knack of using demonic energy to cultivate. The demonic energy in her body is like tempering her flesh and demonic energy. In the process of tempering, she perfectly prevents the demonic energy from truly eroding her. It is a very good cultivation method, but only Phil can use it. Anyone else who uses it will become a heretic."

Celia gasped, "This is too..."

No wonder the Holy Court didn't stop Phil from letting the demonic energy enter her body; they already knew about her constitution.

Amazing.

After talking with the saintesses, Celia asked Enarse and learned that she had not yet arrived in Shining City. Then she went to the school's activity area to practice her spells.

Having practiced spells for so long in Star Ash Town, she had gotten used to it, and she felt a little uneasy if she didn't practice for a day. "I've mastered Shatter Ice and Crystal Arrow, so I'll just practice Puppet Storage to pass the time today."

Even now, her puppet storage technique is still in its infancy and she is not yet proficient. It still takes her a long time to summon her puppets.

Celia was curious about the effects of this spell when it reached the Microscopic level, but considering that she didn't even have that level and that she had no talent for this spell, she gave up her curiosity.

"The requirements aren't high, just practice is enough!"

The girl began practicing summoning magical puppets.

……

Inside the Radiant City Manor of the Lorraine family.

Doris was on high alert.

Just now, she received news that Celia went to greet the other three candidates for sainthood, visiting the other two except for Benovia, whom she didn't know about.

"So, it's my turn next?"

So Doris changed her clothes and put on a white and blue tulle dress with snowflake-shaped patterns on the hem. She also wore a snowflake-shaped pendant. Like a lady who had just come out of the snow, she sat at home, waiting for Celia to arrive.

"This crystal-clear poetry collection should make me look sweet, perfect for entertaining friends..."

However, after waiting for a long time, it still didn't arrive.

She frowned slightly.

"Is it because I'm still at home that I'm not coming?"

She hesitated for a moment, put on her coat, and went to a small house she had bought off campus.

But she soon realized that wouldn't work.

“Celia has never been here before and doesn’t know where it is. Let’s go to school instead.”

So she went to the school and entered the single dormitory that the school had prepared for the candidates for sainthood, a place she rarely went into.

Although she doesn't live here, she still has it cleaned regularly and it's very tidy.

"They'll probably come, right?" Doris muttered.

However, after waiting and waiting, it still didn't arrive.

Finally, she couldn't help but ask someone to look for her, and they eventually found Celia in the school's activity area.

"She went to practice her spells?"

Doris froze for a moment, then jumped up, furious.

"I've waited so long, and you haven't even come to see me? You just wait!"

After saying that, she took off her sweet dress, changed into casual clothes, and stormed out of the dormitory. She quickly went to the activity area and found Celia, who was summoning puppets there.

You're ignoring me?
Doris stormed up to Celia and snapped, "Celia, what do you mean?"

Celia looked up: "?"

Doris retorted angrily, "Why did you greet everyone else but not me?"

Celia: "???"

No, sister, even if we've worked together once, it doesn't mean we're on good terms. You wouldn't think we're good friends just because of that last 'smile' in Lost Lighthouse, would you?
Ok……

Celia's eyes lit up, and she smiled, "Because I knew you would come looking for me."

"W-what?"

Doris was stunned.
