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

Chapter 477 Ross is listening in
Ross watched the conversation between the old man and the young man with a complicated expression.

He already had a vague idea of ​​what was going on.

It's just unknown who's behind them.

"Could it be... Raphael? Or... Ashgard? Falgar?"

Ross hesitated for a moment, then did not materialize anything so that they could discover it.

He didn't know either of them, and his guess was just that—a guess. He didn't plan to do anything until he met someone he knew.

It would be embarrassing if there was a misunderstanding.

He will keep an eye on the two of them to see what they're planning to do.

If someone I know shows up, that would be best. If they're just performing some kind of ritual, then we can decide whether or not to do anything else.

Of course, there is another reason. Forming a physical body would subject Celia to a massive transmission of mental energy. It would be fine if it were formed nearby, but now it is nearly ten kilometers away from Celia. At such a distance, once the physical body is formed, Celia will faint on the spot.

A spiritual entity is equivalent to a gaseous state condensing into a liquid state, which requires a very large amount of spiritual energy. It's best not to use it if possible, so as not to lose such a useful tool as Celia.

“Appearing randomly could also expose you to the God-King’s vision.”

Ross shook his head.

He secretly left a mark on the two of them and then left.

A sixth-tier mage is powerful, but still not powerful enough to detect his mark. To detect it, one must be at least a Saint-level mage.

Saint-level mages may still exist, and the remnants of the old era won't die so easily unless they are killed.

Aside from his own subordinates, Ross felt that the remaining Saint-level, and even seventh- or eighth-level, mages wouldn't die so easily; they were probably surviving in some ancient ruins or secluded paradise.

"The Saint rank might also be a target of the God King, which is why they dare not show their faces and influence the world."

Ross returned to Celia's side and checked on Benovia's condition.

Unfortunately, Benovia was still engrossed in her book and showed no intention of moving.

"I need to find a way to get this girl moving around. She can't just stay at home reading all the time," Ross thought to himself.

At this moment, Celia had also finished calculating all the expenses and was taking out the materials from her spatial ring to prepare a potion.

Under the mage's control, fireballs enveloped the necessary materials. Above the flames were water spheres, which extracted the essence from the materials through ice water extraction, then fused them together to slowly blend them into scroll ink.

Celia was already very skilled at mixing inks. Even though she knew nothing about pharmaceuticals, she could still mix them precisely according to the correct proportions.

Unlike scroll ink, which doesn't require consideration of magical reactions and can be blended in according to proportions and time, potions require consideration of random material reactions. Alchemists need to use magic and mental power, or materials that suppress reactions, to harmonize and stabilize the ingredients, which greatly tests their adaptability.

Because drug reactions are random and abstract, junior pharmacists don't know exactly where the drug will react, just like programmers don't know where bugs might occur before testing.

Scrolls and magic circles are similar, but they are more logically sound and do not require any additional additions.

Ross went over to take a look and found that Celia was creating some non-ice-based third-tier attack spells.

Sensing Ross's arrival, Celia looked up at him and explained, "My scroll reserves are almost depleted, and I need to replenish them to avoid being unable to defeat fourth-tier enemies."

Ross asked, "Why don't you make some low-level scrolls to sell?"

Celia took out a stack of scrolls: "Was Lord Ross not here just now? I used all the remaining ink to make low-level scrolls."

Ross nodded. "Okay."

So Celia continued to immerse herself in scroll making until late at night before resting. The next day, Celia took the low-level scrolls she had made to sell to the Mercenary Guild. The price was a bit low, but the demand was high.

I earned dozens of gold coins in one go.

Then, Celia looked at Ross and asked, "Lord Ross, is there any way to find out where Sharon is?"

Ross smiled slightly: "Of course."

As he spoke, he shared Sharin's location with Celia.

Celia sensed something and looked toward a mountain in the distance.

"This distance...she's on Dragon Island volcano?"

Celia paused for a moment, then asked in surprise, "What is she going to the volcano for?"

Ross smiled slightly: "Who knows? Maybe they're looking for high-grade materials."

After thinking for a moment, Celia said, "Then I'll go take a look."

Ross shook his head: "Don't go yet. The volcano has been sealed off by the Blue Dragon Empire. It won't be easy to get in."

"That's it."

Celia blinked. "If you're not going in, then I'll go back and continue making the scrolls."

Ross nodded.

At this moment, under the guidance of that sixth-tier mage, Shalin entered the volcano and was inside the volcano.

It's alright for fire mages, as they can resist it, but it's not very friendly to other types, especially ice and water mages.

A third-tier mage cannot ignore the high temperature inside the volcano. Even if Ross can help Celia block the high temperature, she will definitely be discovered by that sixth-tier mage.

Ross did not intend to put Celia in danger until he had confirmed the situation.

Let her continue to wait.

While speaking with Celia, Ross sent a wisp of his mental energy to Shalin and the sixth-tier mage Pella, watching them slowly explore the interior of the volcano.

The interior of Longdao Volcano contains many caves, which show signs of being artificially excavated and are not original.

At this moment, besides Shalin and her companion, there were many other people coming and going in the cave. They were all wearing the same heavy armor, which shimmered with the light of ice and fire.

This special armor helps them withstand the high temperatures inside the volcano, allowing them to mine resources inside.

Pera slowly said, "We made preparations on this volcano as early as 100 years ago. The caves and tunnels you see are not just ordinary tunnels, but the patterns of a magic array. Each node will have a lava lake carved out to serve as a node and power source for the magic array."

Charlene followed silently behind her, helping her evade the passing 'miners' and listening to her talk.

"The magic circle has already been formed. What we lack is the Puppet Heart that you obtained. This rare Puppet Heart can only be touched by you. Perhaps the Guild Master can touch it, but she hasn't appeared for a long time, leaving us only with this mysterious magic circle."

Shalin looked up and finally couldn't help but ask, "What happened to the president?"

Pera shook her head: "I don't know. She traveled all over the world. Her footprints are not only on the continents, but also on the oceans. She spent her whole life searching for a faint hope."

Ross looked at the two of them, and his judgment became more accurate.
