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

Chapter 475 Investigation is not as good as giving up
If Celia were here, she would definitely recognize this young man.

Because he was the captain of the runner-up team in the Mage League.

Ryan looked at the investigator giving his report with a frustrated expression and asked irritably, "What did the other side do after fighting Galton?"

The investigator found Ryan's attitude somewhat strange, but still said respectfully, "According to the situation at the scene, after the mysterious ice mage killed Mr. Galton, he entered the manor's underground and took away all of Mr. Galton's slaves."

"That sorcerer didn't seem to be after kidnapping slaves. After releasing them, he even provided them with clothes, and some of the slaves received a silver coin."

Ryan was taken aback: "You investigated so thoroughly? You captured those slaves?"

The investigator said, "No, it was when the slave transport team came to transport slaves that they captured a slave who hadn't left. We learned the rest from that slave. There were also a few maids who hadn't been killed. We couldn't get anything out of them, except that the mysterious sorcerer's puppet had driven them out."

Ryan looked exasperated: "Can't you guys learn from the Northern Alliance?"

Three question marks appeared above the investigator's head. Considering Ryan's identity, the investigator pondered for a moment, shook his head, and cautiously asked, "I'm sorry, Lord Ryan, I can't fathom your meaning. May I ask what excellent qualities of the Northern Alliance you want us to learn? Hospitality?"

Ryan said, "Learn from their efficiency."

The investigators were even more confused: "Isn't the Northern Alliance's investigation efficiency recognized as the best in the world...?"

He suddenly realized something and immediately said, "Lord Ryan, your reminder is very timely. We have indeed overlooked many things and need to investigate them carefully."

Ryan finally relaxed and said approvingly, "Yes, continue the investigation."

"As ordered!"

Ryan sat down in the courtyard's rest area, watched the busy investigation team, and sighed.

"I finally managed to snag a mission to relax, how could I let it end so quickly? I don't want to go back and face Marika and the others."

He looked at the messy courtyard and the still unmelted ice, and couldn't help but think of the culprit who had forced him to run away for refuge: Celia, the champion of the Mage League.

"Speaking of which, that Celia is also an ice mage... How come there are so many ice mages?"

Ryan shook his head.

A thought popped into his head: to compare the sorcerer who killed Galton with Celia, then he shook his head.

A third-tier mage is, after all, a third-tier mage; how could he possibly compare to this mysterious high-tier mage?

The situation on the scene proved that Galton's resistance was minimal, and he was clearly being beaten unilaterally. His opponent was at least a fourth-tier mage in the rising stage, and possibly even a fifth-tier mage.

Ryan believed that if he formed a team and used dragon language magic, he could defeat a fourth-tier opponent, but he definitely couldn't defeat one-on-one.

"So this investigation is just for relaxation."

Ryan had no intention of tracking down the mystic.

A mage of at least the fourth rank wants to track him down?

Don't you die?

Let's investigate and find out the specifics.

Rather than capturing and judging the sorcerer, the investigation team focused on understanding the source of the sorcerer's hatred for Galton and why he killed Galton.

If possible, make sure you don't offend the other person before trying to find out what kind of person they are.

Arresting them is just wishful thinking. High-level sorcerers, unless they are heretics who have caused significant damage, should avoid offending them if possible.

If that doesn't work, find out what happened, file a record, and that's it.

Ryan held onto this last thought. But he also had another idea: to avoid his four 'friends,' to temporarily escape them, and to steal a moment of peace.

……

After leaving the Sorcerer's Guild, Celia acquired the materials that were the specialty of Dragon Island, and then went to the Mercenary Guild to obtain some from the mercenaries.

Finally, she sat down in the mercenary tavern and began to examine the materials she had obtained.

"A total of 305 types are needed, and we have obtained 288 types so far. We are still 17 types short. These uncommon materials are a bit difficult to obtain."

Some of these 17 items are materials from Frost Star.

There's no need to look for ice elemental cores; they're a reward from the Mage League. Just scrape some fragments off the cores.

"Frost trees are only found in the Northern Alliance. Although these materials can be fused and possess some of the characteristics of the Frost Star, they are different from the Frost Star. They are produced in the real cold regions... If only we could find wild Frost Stars."

Celia muttered a couple of things to herself, then started considering the other materials.

Other materials also have regional characteristics; some can only be found in the Elf Forest, while others only grow near the lairs of certain magical beasts, which are found in other empires.

"Luckily, I have plenty of time, enough for me to make the trip."

There are still nearly three months until the start of the school year, so it doesn't matter if you miss the start of the school year.

After carefully checking everything and writing down the missing materials on a piece of paper, Celia put it away and prepared to leave.

Just then, she overheard the nearby mercenaries discussing something.

"...The volcanoes on Dragon Island have become active again recently. Could it be that the essence of fire is about to condense again?"

"How is that possible? If the essence of fire could condense so easily, Dragon Island would have been prosperous long ago."

"Is Dragon Island underdeveloped?"

“That makes sense… but the volcano on Dragon Island is firmly controlled by the Blue Dragon government, so let’s not even think about trying our luck.”

"Go and join in the fun, even if it's just to see a volcanic eruption, it'll be worth it."

"makes sense."

"It's not that easy for a volcano to erupt. A volcano only erupts when there are no spiritual objects to condense. Ever since the Blue Dragon Empire made Dragon Island its capital and firmly controlled the Dragon Island volcano, the volcano has never erupted, no matter how active it has been."

"That's true. But if a spiritual object condenses, the volcano will also exhibit many abnormal conditions. It's worth taking a look."

"Hey, what good stuff can come out of that volcano? It's not like it used to be. Now, after those high-grade materials are produced, they will leave along the veins of the volcano and appear in other places instead. Only ordinary high-grade materials will appear on the volcano."

"That's right. If you want to try your luck, you should go out more. Going to see a volcano is probably an official conspiracy. They deliberately made us watch a volcanic eruption so that they could take people out to search for high-level materials."

"Come on, let's finish this meal and then we'll take on a job and head out!"

"Let's go!"

"..."

Celia listened attentively for a long time until they shifted the topic to mundane matters, such as the appearance of monsters in a certain place or the occurrence of ethical dramas in a certain mercenary group, before she finally turned her attention away.

"What a coincidence! We just arrived and the Dragon Island volcano erupted, something that only happens once every ten years."

Celia's mind began to wander.
