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

Chapter 491 Unable to Refute
“Celia?” Talos frowned, pondering for a moment. “That name sounds familiar.”

Celia regained her original appearance.

Talos was a fifth-tier mage, and he could see through Celia's disguise. Celia thought about it for a moment and decided that there was no need to hide it under the circumstances, so she openly revealed it.

It's useless even if you don't show it.

Talos may not be able to see his own face immediately, but he can easily see through Anko's disguise.

Even without an encore, he could sense that he might be lying.

Celia doesn't have the strength to deal with a fifth-tier opponent.

However, that's not the main reason. The main reason she's so open about her trump card is, of course, Rose!

If she can't beat him, surely Lord Ross can?!
Even if Rose plays in place, he still can't beat them. Does that mean he can't run away?
what?
Encore?

Ah... this is a bit difficult. We can only let her suffer for a while.

Anke suddenly felt a chill down her back.

"So it's you, the champion of the Sorcerer League, the Holy Court's prospective saintess, Celia."

Talos abandoned his casual demeanor, his mind flashing through the various deeds Celia had committed, and became serious.

He didn't care about Celia's strength; the difference between the third and fifth tiers was something even a god couldn't overcome.

But given Celia's identity and the many things she has done, he cannot afford to be careless.

She participated in numerous heretical operations, destroying countless heretical strongholds. In Koster City, she resolved the Abyss Gate summoned by the Polar Blood Alliance, severely injuring a fourth-tier mage with a single blow. Later, she also participated in the annihilation war in the Deep Sea, where her scrolls played a crucial role, directly turning the Deep Sea Aid Society from an invincible group of twelve heretics into a weakling.

Although the Deep Sea Aid Society, after excluding its powerful array deployment capabilities, ranks last among the twelve heretics in overall strength, it is still a behemoth that has lived for hundreds of years.

Whether it was the Holy Court or other empires, they all felt that the Deep Sea Aid Society's annihilation campaign would take a long time because the chaos and pollution of the Golden Apple Stone Forest was troublesome.

As a result, Celia immediately developed a scroll that could isolate pollution and also revealed a purification technique specifically for heretics.

These are things that Talos cannot afford to ignore.

Although the Holy Court publicly stated that Celia provided the inspiration for Shuen's final creation, the Dragon Riders had their own intelligence channels, and Talos, as Erina's disciple, was naturally well aware of these matters.

All signs indicate that Celia is an extraordinary genius sorcerer.

A hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

The Holy Court and the four great empires have always been at odds. It is almost a certainty that Celia will become the future Holy Maiden, which means that Celia is a major enemy in the future.

Right now, the formidable enemy has not yet grown up and is very vulnerable in front of me. With just a thought, I can control her life and death.

Even if it means incurring the wrath of the Holy Court afterward, it's worth it to stifle the enemy's genius.

So, Talos was tempted and hesitated whether to kill Celia here.

His face changed inscrutablely, and after a moment, he shook his head and gave up the idea.

Such a powerful and talented sorcerer, why didn't the Holy Court send anyone to protect him?
Talos thought it was impossible.

There might be a sixth-tier mage secretly observing him; if he makes a move, he'll probably be the first to die.

Only a sixth-tier mage could guarantee a successful resolution. Even without the protection of a sixth-tier mage, Talos felt that Celia had someone to rely on.

Regardless of the reason, Talos eventually abandoned the idea of ​​killing Celia.

He cared more about something else than that.

"Miss Celia, I didn't know you would suddenly appear on Dragon Island and get involved in the Dragon Island volcano incident, letting all our customers out and letting them take things from Dragon Island for free. What exactly are you trying to do? Are you trying to provoke a war between Ishtar and the Blue Dragon?"

Talos narrowed his eyes, using his overwhelming power to intimidate others.

Celia blinked: "Lord Talos thinks too highly of Celia. I am just an ordinary third-tier mage, a student at a magic academy. I neither serve in the Holy Court nor am I an official of Ishtar. My strength is not enough to start a war. I don't know why you think that way."

“That’s right. However, Miss Celia is the future Holy Maiden of the Holy Court. You secretly let our customers go on Dragon Island, causing Dragon Island to suffer huge losses. What do you suggest we do about it?”

Celia, emboldened, looked at the dragon rider captain who was still cutting down the vines and said, "I recorded the whole thing, so don't try to pin this on me. It was your people who dismantled the wall's magic circle..."

Celia paused for a moment, then said, "Of course, you've figured it out too, haven't you? Those are heretics' spies. I'm helping you find the spies. The Dragon Knights should be thanking me, not blaming me for being heretics."

Celia also sensed Talos's fleeting killing intent, but in the end he didn't make a move, which meant that Dragon Island probably wouldn't take any further action.

The girl relaxed a little.

Even with Ross as a backup, one should still be wary of high-level sorcerers.

Anko approached Celia and immediately displayed the battle between her and the Dragon Knight Captain.

Nothing is more convincing than a projected record.

Talos frowned as he watched.

Celia spread her hands, feigning helplessness, and said, "Lord Talos, as you can see, I originally just wanted to stop the conflict because we discovered many strongholds of the Tower of the Fallen in the volcano. They released emotional poison in the volcanic area, trying to ignite the conflict between mages and dragon riders in the Dragon Island area, causing them to fight to the death. I stopped this riot from happening, but I didn't expect your subordinates to take action directly."

Anke chimed in, "Yes, you saw it too. Not long after the battle began, your subordinate revealed his identity as a heretic. Is Lord Talos still going to make things difficult for us?"

At this moment, because of Talos's arrival, the dragon rider guards mustered their courage and rushed over, standing behind Talos, watching the two of them warily, and waiting for Talos's orders.

There were still quite a few mages around who hadn't run away watching the commotion, including some fourth-tier mages who had been alerted by the commotion below.

Through Celia's explanation and the descriptions of other sorcerers around them, they learned exactly what had happened and immediately looked at Talos and Celia with amusement.

"So, Dragon Riders are a synonym for ingratitude? No way, no way."

"I watched the whole thing, and the leader of the Dragon Knights didn't even think about judging the heretics, but instead wanted to make things difficult for a brave girl who stood up. That's outrageous!"

"No wonder that guy dared to charge so much money, tsk tsk tsk."

"..."

The surrounding chatter made Talos frown.

He glanced at everyone, causing the murmurs to gradually subside.

He looked at Celia and said calmly, "Thank you for your help, Miss Celia. You are honored guests of the Blue Dragon Empire. Please follow me. Dragon Island will not neglect your distinguished guests."
