Chapter 410 Unknown Attractions

The aquatic parasite leaped high, exposing the orca's belly skin, allowing Celia to see the dense, twisted tentacles inside its abdominal cavity.

Celia didn't know how defensive that orca skin was.

But now is just right.

"No matter how strong you become after combining your powers, your body will only be at the second-tier level."

The staff was raised, and a large number of ice balls appeared. At the same time, the puppet also slashed out several ice blades, and all the magic rushed towards the leaping aquatic parasite.

The roaring sound was incessant, and large amounts of blood fell with the swarm of aquatic parasitic beasts, staining the entire beach red.

With a light leap, Celia dodged the aquatic parasite's attack. A barrage of spells appeared around Celia and rained down on the aquatic parasite.

After a long time, the icy mist dissipated, leaving only a large amount of flesh and blood on the spot. The orca skin, along with the aquatic parasite, was completely blown up and left unrecognizable.

The still-shaken crowd, upon discovering that the enormous object was actually a useless piece of junk, cheered.

The mage responsible for monitoring the ocean on the beach ran over quickly and stopped not far from Celia, looking at her with awe.

"Thank you for your help. If it weren't for you..."

"It was just a small matter." Celia raised her hand to interrupt the other person, putting the puppet and weapon away. "You should report to the city lord and have this place cleaned up. Also, keep an eye on the sea; there might be some sea monsters that get attracted here."

"Okay okay."

The other party readily agreed.

After leaving the beach, Celia asked, "Lord Ross, besides this, will any other monsters come?"

Ross said, "I'm not sure, it depends on what monsters are nearby."

While Celia was fighting the enemy, Ross told her that this aquatic parasite should strictly be classified as a deep-sea monster, and like the White Whale, it is a deep-sea monster that came from the abyss.

However, it is of a relatively low level and can only hunt ordinary creatures to survive, while also serving as food for high-level monsters.

These monsters generally don't approach the coastline easily because the coastline isn't polluted by the demonic energy they prefer. If they stay in unpolluted areas for a long time, they will gradually become weaker and eventually might not even be able to defeat ordinary fish.

"Therefore, there is only one possibility for why the aquatic parasite came here: it was attracted by something."

"What exactly attracted them here...?"

Celia fell into deep thought.

It is clearly not pollution.

Because Leytes is a large city with beaches, a port, and iconic landmarks, such as the spectacular giant lighthouse, it has become one of the most prosperous cities in Ishtar.

This place is different from Southern City. In addition to fourth-tier mages, there are also fifth-tier mages guarding it. As for whether there are sixth-tier mages, Celia doesn't know.

"I'd better go to the temple to report first. I hope the temple will listen to me."

Celia quickly arrived at the temple and met the temple's head, Bishop Holder, a powerful fifth-tier mage.

Holder clearly knew Celia, and after Celia requested an audience, he quickly came out and invited her into the prayer room.

"Miss Celia, welcome to the Temple of Leites. Please forgive me for only now knowing of your arrival. The city lord will host a banquet for you later, please come along."

Celia blinked and pointed to herself: "Hosting a banquet? Me?"

Did you hear me wrong?

Holder nodded with a smile: "Of course, we not only know about your contributions to the Golden Apple Stone Forest, but also about Duke Pharos, the city lord of Leters City. He just learned from the guards at the lighthouse that a young female sorceress had dealt with a sea monster and saved many civilians. From the projection of the guards' records, we know that it was you, so he hopes I can invite you to be his guest." Celia wasn't very interested in banquets and shook her head, saying, "I think I'll pass. I'm not interested in insincere things, and I don't like crowded places."

In fact, it didn't matter to Celia whether there were many people or not. She just hated being insincere with people and didn't like hearing flattery from others.

Celia said, "I came here to tell Bishop Holder something. That sea monster is not a near-shore sea monster, but comes from the deep sea. It was attracted by something I don't know. I hope you can inform the city lord and ask them to pay attention to the situation of the ocean."

Holder's expression turned serious: "I see. When I received the news, I was wondering why a sea monster would appear. The ocean within a 300-kilometer radius of Leites City has been cleaned up and patrolled daily to eliminate all threatening monsters. There shouldn't be such a monster here."

As he spoke, he seemed to ponder, "Could it be related to the Deep Sea Aid Society that Archbishop Melina is cracking down on?"

Celia shook her head: "I don't know. They're both from the 'Deep Sea,' so maybe they're related. Perhaps they're 'external aid' called in by the Deep Sea Mutual Aid Association."

Holder nodded: "Okay, I'll keep that in mind, but are you really not going? It's not all strangers there, there are people you know."

Celia was slightly taken aback: "Someone I know? Who?"

Holder smiled mysteriously: "The Duke told me not to say that your friend knew there was a banquet for you, so he came back specially to dress up."

A question mark appeared above Celia's head: "Male or female?"

I don't know many people. This is my first time in Leicester City, how could I possibly know anyone here?
If it's a man...

Celia felt she could stop thinking about it. Apart from her school tutor and the bishop of the Holy See, she rarely knew any male friends. Her classmates at school were just nodding acquaintances, and there were few entanglements. After all, most people still had their pride and didn't force themselves on her like Mir did.

“Female friends, of course,” Holder laughed.

Celia went through the list of people she knew in her mind, "Is it Elena?"

“Elena?” Holder paused slightly, “That name sounds familiar.”

"The elf girl who won the Mage League."

"No."

"Pamisa?"

"I don't think so."

"...Never mind then, I'm not interested in knowing who it is. If it's my friend, let her invite me."

Celia disliked the Riddler's mannerisms.

Trying to pique curiosity and create suspense?

Hmph, I'll not grant your wish.

Having made up her mind, Celia said goodbye to Holder and left.

Holder watched Celia's retreating figure and shook his head helplessly.

He took out his bracelet, contacted the city lord, relayed Celia's words, and then said, "I told you, your tricks won't work on Celia."

A helpless voice came from the other end: "It's not what I wanted to do, it's what my dear Phil wanted me to do. She said she wanted to surprise Celia."

"You should do it yourself. Celia doesn't seem interested in the banquet. Maybe you should have Phil come in person."

"Okay, I'll talk to her about it."
