Chapter 541 Return to Twilight Town

"Are you ready?"

"Ready!"

"Then let's go."

"it is good!"

Celia packed all her things, left the school, and headed outside.

"So, we're going to the City of Dawn this time?"

"Celia asked."

Ross nodded. "Remember Twilight Town?"

Celia nodded.

"Twilight Town is peculiar, filled with a dense power of death, while outside Twilight Town lies Dawn City, representing life. What you need to do now is to completely unravel the mystery behind Twilight Town."

Ross had already identified his next hunting target.

Previously in the city of Leites, I used the magic power of the city's protective array to instantly kill the puppet of that unknown sixth-tier mage who was being chased by the city lord.

That person is Ross's target.

When the other party was killed by Duke Pharos, Ross could sense that the other party's soul was bound and that he was not truly dead.

Besides the god of the underworld, there is another deity who holds the power over death.

One of the twelve Olympian gods, the god of life and death.

“Celia had already eliminated the heretical stronghold in Twilight Town, but that stronghold wasn’t the entirety of the Twilight Cult. The peculiar environment of Twilight Town might be related to the God of Life and Death,” Ross thought to himself.

Four-tenths of Ethel's divine fragments are with Benovia, one-tenth with Sharin, and the rest are hidden in the Tranquil Sea.

Ethel's fur has been almost completely plucked; there's no need to continue exploiting it.

Next, we still need to look for clues about the new main god.

Dawn City, which is relatively close to Ember City, is Ross's priority target for investigation.

"When I came to Twilight Town last time to do a job and deal with the Twilight Cult's stronghold, didn't I already figure out the situation there?" Celia tilted her head in confusion.

Ross chuckled, "It's not going to end so easily. No matter how many people die, the power of death won't stay in one place for long."

Celia nodded, seemingly understanding, "Alright then, let's go to Twilight Town and expose all of Twilight Town's dirty secrets!"

With Celia's current strength, it won't take her long to reach Dawn City near Twilight Town.

She arrived safely before noon.

When she arrives in a new place, Celia makes it a habit to go to the mercenary tavern, where she can sit for a few hours to relax and listen carefully to the information around her, filtering out the information she wants.

"...There have been unusual occurrences around Twilight Town recently."

"Yes, I got a little closer yesterday and was directly invaded by the pollution. It scared me to death. I spent the whole day's pay on purification."

"Let's wait for what the city lord has to say. After the city lord and the temple have figured out the anomaly, we'll decide whether or not to go there to make the request."

"I heard the prices for those commissions have gone up."

"The price has only increased by a few coins. How can that amount compare to the expensive purification fee? If you ask me, those people in Twilight Town have probably already defected to the heretics. Otherwise, why wouldn't they come out to live here even in this state? Why are they still staying in that corner, enduring pollution every day?"

"I also think those guys are just looking for a masochistic act, and there's not much profit to be made."

"..."

Listening to the conversations around her, Celia pinpointed the key words for Twilight Town amidst the cacophony of sounds.

"Strange activity in Twilight Town?"

Intrigued, Celia picked up her juice and went to find the receptionist who offered quests. After showing her mercenary badge, she asked, "Do you have any quests from Twilight Town?"

The receptionist paused, then looked up in surprise: "Twilight Town? Yes, but are you sure you want to go?" Celia nodded: "Yes, it's dangerous there right now. How can we, as mages with extraordinary powers, stand idly by?"

The receptionist was surprised, but still listed out all the tasks related to Twilight Town.

Celia quickly checked and found that the first and second requests were from the temple and the city lord, asking them to investigate the cause of the anomaly in Twilight Town.

Celia considered it for a moment, then did not answer.

These two offer the highest rewards, but Celia is not very willing to associate with either the temple or the city lord.

What she feared most was that if she came into contact with these two places, she might accidentally cause the castle or temple to collapse.

It's best to avoid contact.

"Apart from the high bounties offered by the city lord and the temple, the rewards for other commissions in Twilight Town are not very good, with the highest being less than 1 gold coin."

Celia shook her head and finally chose to accept one of the requests, which paid 80 silver coins and was about finding someone.

The commission was just something she did incidentally; Celia mainly wanted to find an excuse to go into Twilight Town and gather information.

After accepting the mission, Celia did not plan to rest in Dawn City. Taking advantage of the fact that it was still daytime, she set off directly towards Twilight Town.

Outside the City of Dawn, there were still many tents and camps, not much different from when Celia first arrived.

"I wonder if that gang that specializes in scamming people is still around."

Celia muttered something to herself.

Looking back now, I feel a bit nostalgic.

Unfortunately, the object of their remembrance had already perished along with the heretical stronghold.

Oh, and Suna is still alive.

"It seems that Suna ran away. I wonder if she has regained her memory or if she will return to Twilight Town... But it doesn't really matter."

Celia felt the surging magic within her and smiled.

If she encounters Suna this time, she will definitely be able to handle it herself.

Passing by numerous camps and tents outside the City of Dawn, Celia slowly walked towards Twilight Town.

As they moved further away from the City of Dawn, the tents and campsites gradually decreased until they disappeared completely.

After walking for a long time, Celia arrived in front of the pollution and death aura, looking at the death aura and pollution that appeared before her.

At this moment, pollution surged, creating layers upon layers of pollution waves.

The concentration has nearly doubled compared to before!
Celia carefully examined herself but couldn't find anything wrong—well, nothing felt right!
"With such a high concentration of pollution, the residents of Twilight Town should have all left by now."

Celia fell into deep thought, her curiosity about Twilight Town growing stronger.

She had only passed through Twilight Town before, without going in.

Before she even entered, she had encountered a small group of heretics trying to trick people into joining the Twilight Cult, and ended up being lured into their stronghold.

Although in the end, Celia used the entire base to set off fireworks.

This time, Celia plans to first observe the villagers' situation before deciding to enter the polluted and deathly heartland to see if the former 'River Styx' and the other side have changed at all.

With that thought in mind, Celia plunged into the pollution.

The surroundings were gradually enveloped by a gray fog, but the degree was not too bad, not to the point where the road was almost invisible like in the Golden Apple Stone Forest.

This level is alright.

In the blink of an eye, Celia arrived in Twilight Town.

From the outside, she saw a large number of villagers gathered together, worshipping a statue of unknown appearance.
