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

Chapter 461 Delivery Mission?

"Are you getting ready to leave already?"

Millie was very reluctant to part with him.

Since Celia returned last year, the temple has been doing better and better, with generous donations coming in from the Southern City.

It has a sense of destruction followed by reconstruction.

Originally, the temple's deacons were mobile, because the temple had no property, and Vanessa's treatments were free. They relied entirely on donations to pay salaries, and the previous deacons all left after becoming sorcerers within the temple.

If it weren't for the unexpected incident caused by Celia, Millie and Pigs would most likely have run away as well.

But now, with Vanessa's rank revealed, the Southern City and the Holy Court have increased their support for the Starshine Temple, and have spare money to pay them salaries. Although the new temple is bigger and they have to work harder to clean, it doesn't matter since they have more money.

The thought of leaving has long since vanished; all that remains is to work diligently and enjoy a leisurely life.

The two, lacking in magical talent, had passed their period of rapid growth and were unlikely to make a name for themselves if they ventured out into the world.

Celia, carrying a small backpack with a rabbit charm on it, waved to Millie.

"I'm going on an adventure now. Stay home and wait for me with Vanessa."

"Aren't you going to stay a couple more days?" Vanessa asked reluctantly.

“I’ll return on the day of the God’s Birthday. I need to find some things to prepare for my advancement to the fourth rank,” Celia said.

She was also a little reluctant to part with it.

I've been staying at the Temple of Star Ash for a long time.

Both Southland City and Star Ash Town are located in relatively remote areas. Even though they border the Elven race, they are not popular cities as trading hubs for the Elven race.

Because this place is separated from the Elven race by the Star Spirit Tree, and the Star Spirit Tree area is too large, there is only one narrow road to get here without crossing the Star Spirit Tree, which is far inferior to other neighboring cities and cannot compare to those rune warships that sail on rivers and seas.

To find materials grown in other empires, Celia must leave Starash and travel to the larger cities to search for the materials she needs.

While I'm at it, I'll also travel and see the vibrancy of other cities.

Ross set a requirement for her: to obtain all the materials before the start of the semester, and then, with the help of the resources provided by the school after the semester begins, to accumulate strength and prepare for the Ascendant Trial.

Reluctantly bidding farewell to Vanessa, Celia boarded her flying broom and left Star Ash, slowly making her way to Southland.

When they attended the banquet earlier, Celia asked Punil if he had the materials she needed. Punil sold her some, and said he could get the rest if it took a little time.

Before leaving, she went to get it.

Upon arriving in Southern City, Celia contacted Punil, who soon arrived with the temple bishop.

After the two completed the transaction, the bishop asked, "Celia, where are you going?"

"We're going to visit the Blue Dragon Empire," Celia said.

"The Blue Dragon Empire?"

The two exchanged a glance, and the bishop asked, "Shall we go to their capital, Dragon Island?"

"Go, what's wrong?" Celia asked, startled.

The bishop stroked his chin and said, "I'd like to ask you for a favor."

"What is it? Please speak."

"Could you send a letter to Diana, who is studying at the Blue Dragon Magic Academy?"

“Diana?” Celia tilted her head.

“My child, Diana, is a year younger than you. For some reason, she hasn’t come back this year,” the bishop said with great sorrow.

Celia asked, puzzled, "Why would your child go to study in the Blue Dragon Empire? Shouldn't bishops of the Holy Court only be allowed to study at the Ishtar Magic School?"

The bishop coughed and said, "Diana went with her mother, there was nothing I could do."

Celia's expression turned strange as she quickly imagined a family drama unfolding in her mind. The bishop seemed to know what she was thinking and quickly said, "Don't worry, I am wholeheartedly devoted to the Holy See, and I have no problems with Diana's mother. We just had a minor disagreement, and she simply doesn't want to see me."

Celia nodded: "I understand, but how did Your Excellency know I was going to Dragon Island?"

The bishop was clearly prepared; otherwise, he wouldn't have suddenly sent him to deliver the message.

The bishop said, "I contacted Vanessa; it was Vanessa who told me."

"Ok."

Vanessa also occasionally keeps in touch with the bishop and lord of Southern City. After all, they are both fourth-tier mages and have a lot to talk about.

Celia had no intention of hiding her whereabouts, and Vanessa naturally told her when her two good friends asked.

Celia said, "Sending a message is fine, but is there anything else I need to include?"

The bishop shook his head: "No need, I've written everything I need to say in the letter."

As he spoke, he took out a letter, which seemed to contain something else besides the letter itself.

Celia took it and touched it, immediately knowing what was inside.

gold.

No wonder they specifically asked me to deliver it; they put gold coins in the envelope.

Celia thought to herself.

The bishop knew he was a saint and that he wouldn't covet his gold coins, so he was at ease.

After chatting with the two for a while, Celia took her leave.

She didn't even rest in Southern Border City or buy some dry food before leaving the city via a teleportation device and arriving at the city closest to the Blue Dragon Empire.

Only a few cities in the empire have access to directional teleportation devices, and passage is strictly controlled.

Celia wouldn't specifically choose to use it; cross-border teleportation devices are more expensive than domestic ones, and she couldn't afford them.

Let's just fly and get there.

"Although flying is a bit slower than using a patrol car, you can do whatever you want without having to report anything."

Celia had no intention of going through any immigration registration process, as all her actions within the Blue Dragon Empire would inevitably be monitored by the Blue Dragon Empire.

The Blue Dragon Empire definitely knows my identity. If they have any ideas and arrest me, I'll be left with nowhere to turn.

After all, back in August, she had made the Blue Dragon Empire's participating team cry.

"I wonder how that friend is doing now."

Celia muttered to herself.

When they received their awards, the only male member of the Blue Dragon Magic Academy team looked quite grim; it was unclear whether he had even finished grooming his 'wings'.

If things go wrong, Blue Dragon Magic Academy might blame him for his boasting, exposing him on their capital, Dragon Island, and he'd be caught.

So, we still need to disguise ourselves a bit!

"So, Lord Ross, can you now tell me why we're going to the Blue Dragon Empire?"

"Flying through the mountains on the way to the border of the Blue Dragon Empire," Celia asked.

Ross's phantom floated beside her, and upon hearing this, he smiled slightly and said, "Don't you want to see what that classmate who took the Heart of the Puppet is planning to do?"

Celia was taken aback. "You mean, Shalin is on Dragon Island in the Blue Dragon Empire right now? What is she trying to do all this way?"

Ross said, "Who knows? I can only sense the location of the Puppet Heart, but I don't know what she's going to do with it."

Of course, it was actually Ethel who sensed it.
