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

Chapter 547 Opportunity
Knowing that the item was underground was one thing, but figuring out how to get underground stumped Celia.

She did not notice any signs of digging around the area.

Most of the area here is flat and gentle slopes, with few high mountains, so there are no natural caves.

"Did they fill the hole after digging it, placing their things inside?"

Celia looked thoughtfully at the wooden house between the three trees.

"Could it be that the entrance to the cave is inside that house?"

Celia looked at Ross.

Ross smiled and nodded.

This confirmed her guess.

Celia: "..."

Doesn't that mean I have to go in and face those two people?
Ross chuckled and said, "No rush, we can go in when the time is right."

"What time?"

"The reason why those two fifth-tier mages left the house."

"OK then."

Celia lay in wait, fortunately, most of the area was suitable for stealth operations.

As a fourth-tier mage, unless the mage is of the same or higher tier, no matter how keen the opponent's observation skills are, they will not be able to detect it.

However, Celia discovered another problem—

"Why are these two people staying in the room all the time, never leaving each other?"

Celia was dumbfounded.

If I remember correctly, the two people were adult males. Although they were wearing black robes and their faces were not visible, I am certain that they did not spread love and life inside.

Inside that house, besides the two fifth-tier mages, there seemed to be several guards, all of whom appeared to be fourth-tier or higher.

The defense is very tight.

There is absolutely no chance.

Celia waited for a long time, and finally couldn't help but look at Ross: "Lord Ross, how much longer do we have to wait?"

Ross chuckled lightly: "What's the rush? This opportunity will come soon."

"OK then."

Celia suppressed her eagerness and trepidation.

She was still under a lot of pressure even though Ross was there.

"Take this time to get a feel for the base's magic array. Once you understand it, you won't have to worry about intrusions when you encounter similar targets in the future."

Celia nodded, "Mm!"

Time passed quietly.

The sky began to darken.

Just as Celia was considering whether to make a tactical retreat, Ross's voice came: "The opportunity has arrived."

The girl's spirits lifted, and she immediately sensed an anomaly in the magic circle. An alarm sounded from one direction and quickly spread throughout the entire heretical stronghold.

As the alarm sounded, the entire camp quickly went from calm to chaos.

A figure rushed over quickly and shouted as the two mages ran out, "Sir, enemy attack!"

A fifth-tier mage frowned: "What's the panic? Tell me what's going on."

The subordinate panicked and said, "It's the bishop and lord of Dawn City, and a sorcerer I don't recognize. They brought a lot of people with them, as if they're going to wipe out our entire stronghold!"

The two fifth-tier mages exchanged a glance, then immediately took to the air and flew swiftly toward the direction from which the alarm sounded.

Celia's eyes lit up: "Is this the opportunity?"

So the City of Dawn really did send people, and it was the bishop and the city lord, who were in charge. That's really impressive!

Celia couldn't help but think of the conversation between the two fifth-order heretics she had overheard earlier, and a strange look appeared on her face.

They had just said that the City of Dawn wouldn't find this place, but they found it already.

"However, besides the two fifth-tier mages, there are also several fourth-tier mages guarding the place. I need to find a way to get rid of them."

After observing carefully for a moment, Celia quietly came to the outside of the wooden house while the fifth-tier mage and many heretics rushed to defend against the attack.

Upon arriving here, she could sense the fourth-tier mage hidden within the wooden house without Ross's help.

It's just a vague feeling, without any specific location.

Just as she was about to do something to lure these fourth-tier mages, she suddenly realized that their location had become clear.

Celia couldn't help but glance at Ross, and saw him smiling as he looked at her with a grin.

"Should I unleash my full power, or try to assassinate them one by one?"

Celia thought for a moment and shook her head: "I don't have the ability to kill a mage of the same level in one hit, unless I use a charged attack and the opponent is completely unprepared."

After a moment of thought, Celia suddenly had an idea.

"Perhaps I can take advantage of the fighting outside."

The magic array at this stronghold is extremely sturdy; it remains unmoved even when bombarded by a fifth-tier mage.

Of course, this is because the high-end combat forces of the strongholds have all gone out to defend.

Celia looked at the various bursts of magical light in the distance, sensed them carefully, and after a while, her eyes narrowed. "Now!"

A beam of holy light shot out from one of the sorcerers. Celia activated her magic circle authority and, just as the beam appeared and was about to strike the magic circle, quietly opened an opening, allowing the beam to enter the stronghold.

The beam of light streaked across a straight line and instantly struck the wooden house in front of them, blasting away the fourth-tier mage secretly guarding it.

Celia quickly got up and rushed to the ruins of the wooden house before the fourth-tier mages could react. She quickly found the entrance to the hidden passage in the ruins and went in without hesitation.

……

Outside the outpost, Flora paused, looking in surprise at the unexpected situation that had just occurred.

"The magic array is broken? No, it's not broken. Maybe there was a problem with how the magic array was operating just now."

She narrowed her eyes.

"Then, let's do it a few more times!"

While she was attacking the magic circle, Lord Boyce and the bishop were fighting one-on-one with fifth-tier heretics who had escaped from the stronghold.

The city lord, controlling the puppet to cooperate with him, stopped the fifth-tier sorcerer and laughed heartily: "I thought it was just a few cats and dogs, but I didn't expect there to be such an unexpected surprise."

The bishop was also quite relaxed, keeping another fifth-tier mage occupied while chatting with the city lord: "It doesn't seem like an accident. Judging from the ruins of the stronghold we encountered, perhaps someone was secretly guiding us here."

"Although we don't know who it is, it doesn't matter. The strange occurrences here are definitely related to these damned heretics. Killing them all is the right thing to do!"

The two fifth-tier heretics facing off against the two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.

From their conversation, they learned that the reason this group was able to find the location so accurately was because they had received guidance from someone else.

traitor?

The word popped into their minds, but they quickly dismissed it.

Because there's another possibility—

Another force has its eyes on them!
Moreover, that mysterious force knew their exact location!
"Damn it, don't let us catch who it is!"

Both men were furious, but a hint of fear lingered in their eyes.

They felt fear towards that mysterious force or mysterious person.

The mysterious force or person did not appear, and they had no idea where the other party was or whether they had already infiltrated.
