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

Chapter 362 Let's do some favors along the way

"A guide to conquering the far north?"

Celia looked at Katie in surprise.

"Is there such a thing?"

“Of course.” Katie smiled slightly. “The far north has been a mysterious region that has attracted strangers to explore since ancient times. Here, you can see beautiful glaciers, beautiful polar bears, starry skies and auroras that you can’t see anywhere else, as well as mysterious ancient ice-bound ruins…”

"Without a guide to the far north, you won't be able to find the best viewpoints or the ancient ruins hidden within the vast far north."

Celia's interest was piqued. "Give me one, how much?"

Katie looked Celia up and down and said, "One gold coin per serving, thank you for your patronage."

Celia turned and left.

Katie rushed over, "Wait, wait, don't leave yet! One gold coin is really worth it. Trust me, I'm a long-time resident of the Far North Supply Town. I may not know much else, but I know everything about the Far North like the back of my hand. Besides the Far North strategy guide, I'll also give you three pieces of Far North adventure advice, how about that?"

"No need. You'd be better off listening to something at the Mercenary Guild and learning everything."

"Those mercenaries in the Mercenary Guild are quick-witted; they wouldn't just reveal that information. How about 10 silver coins?"

Celia stopped, turned around, and held up one finger. "One silver coin at most."

"At least let me earn some money."

"The paper cost is at most one copper coin, one silver coin is the maximum. If you're not selling, don't follow me, or else..."

Celia raised her hand, and a cloud of icy mist formed in her palm.

Katie looked at the icy mist in her hand, and a chill swept over her, as if she had entered the far north.

He gritted his teeth and said, "One silver coin it is."

Soon, a "Guide to the Far North" about the size of a newspaper appeared in Celia's hand.

Celia glanced at it, then put it away. She asked for directions to the mercenary tavern in town, found an empty seat, ordered two apple juices, and then opened "The Far North Guide" to take a closer look.

"I feel like I'm losing money even by 1 silver coin. The content here only covers the outer 10-kilometer area of ​​the far north, and doesn't even get close to the core area."

The far north is not as large as the Star Spirit Forbidden Land, but according to calculations, it is still about 100 kilometers away from the center of the far north.

Whether the area within ten kilometers of the outer perimeter can be considered the far north is another matter.

"However, it does indicate where you can see the most beautiful aurora borealis, even during the midnight sun..."

Celia unfolded the "Far North Lands Guide" and looked at Ross opposite her. "Speaking of which, everyone says that there is only one day a year in the Far North Lands, with half the year being daytime and the other half being nighttime, but this guide says that you can see the aurora at any time at night?"

"Only in the far north, at the very center, is there one day and one night a year. The further out you go, the shorter the day and night become, until it alternates with the normal day and night cycle like other places. This is a normal phenomenon and has nothing to do with gods or ruins."

Ross was sipping juice—regardless of how his spirit form was sipping it, the juice in the glass was rapidly decreasing.

"That's it."

Celia continued reading and noticed two ancient ruins marked on the map. She exclaimed in surprise, "There are two ruins just on the outer perimeter? Are there that many ruins in the far north?"

"Yes, beautiful lady, the density of ancient ruins in the far north is the highest in the entire Starfall Continent."

A voice came from the side, and Celia turned her head to see a young man in a mage's robes smiling as he approached. He looked at the empty space opposite Celia with a puzzled expression, and then asked, "May I sit opposite you, beautiful lady?"

Celia shook her head: "There are already people on the other side, sorry."

"I see. That's a real shame. I was hoping to invite you to join our Glacier Mercenary Group and explore the far north together, but it seems..."

As the young man spoke, he looked at Celia expectantly, only to find that her expression remained unchanged.

He was slightly taken aback. "You don't know the Glacier Mercenary Group? The Glacier Mercenary Group is stationed in..."

“Sorry, I’m not interested, thank you.” Celia interrupted the other person’s promotion.

The other party was still persistent. "I don't think I've seen you before. Is this your first time in the Far North Supply Town? Everyone who comes here is here to explore the Far North. The Far North is very dangerous. I suggest you join a mercenary group, even if it's just temporarily, it will make your exploration easier."

Despite her clear refusal, the woman continued to argue. Celia shook her head, got up, paid the bill, and left.

The other person watched Celia's retreating figure and clicked their tongue in dissatisfaction, "She really doesn't know what's good for her."

After leaving the mercenary tavern, Celia went to the mercenary guild next door.

"It's been a while since I've taken on any commissions. Let's see if there are any in the far north and do one while we're at it."

Upon entering the Mercenary Guild, Celia went to the reception window and asked the receptionist to bring up the mission list.

"A commission for polar bear paws and bear skins, requiring the hunting of 10 polar bears, with a reward of 15 silver coins. How can you even issue a commission for such a small amount of money?"

"Assist in exploring the western ruins on the outskirts of the far north. The requirement is to clear the ancient ruins. The reward is 10 gold coins, but no credit is given for clearing them? You expect me to give you access to the ancient ruins for 10 gold coins? You can't even dream about that in half a year during the polar night."

"Exploring the far north, assisting the Glacier Mercenary Group in their exploration of the far north, reward 1-500 gold coins? Is this really not a job posting?"

After searching for a long time, Celia couldn't find any suitable side quests to do, and shook her head.

The receptionist noticed her disgusted expression and asked with a smile, "Hello, if you are not satisfied with the service, please tell me your requirements and I will help you with the selection."

"You can do that?" Celia's eyes lit up. "My requirements are simple: easy, high-paying."

The receptionist smiled but didn't say anything: "..."

"Is there no such request?"

The receptionist said, "Yes, Miss Hiro, yes, but your level might not be high enough for this type of commission. You need to obtain 1000 gold coins as commission from the Mercenary Guild before you can unlock it. Of course, if you don't want to go through that trouble, you can directly pay 1000 gold coins to unlock the privilege."

Hilo was the disguise name she had chosen.

I was pretending before, but I used my real name, and people found out that I was actually Celia. I will never do something like that again.

Miss Celia, who was terrible at coming up with names, eventually took one character each from her own name and Ross's name, and then swapped them to create the rather strange name 'Hiro'.

Celia stared at the receptionist, paused for a moment, and said, "Alright, I only have one request: are there any missions to venture deep into the far north, and not with mercenary groups?"

Only a fool would pay 1000 gold coins.

The receptionist nodded: "Yes, the depths of the far north have always attracted countless strangers, but excluding mercenary recruitment, there may not be many. Please wait a moment."

A short while later, the receptionist released the selected requests.
