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

Chapter 566 Minor problem, it'll definitely be fine.
The pollution here is very faint, and its source is imperceptible. Moreover, Celia senses a different kind of pollution here compared to other places.

If pollution elsewhere is stagnant and lifeless, then pollution here seems vibrant and full of life.

"It contains such a rich amount of life elements... If I weren't a puppet with life attributes, I wouldn't have been able to tell."

Celia exclaimed.

"As expected of the vibrant Elf Forest, even its pollution is so unique."

Sensing the pollution around her, Celia opened her hands, gathering a ball of purifying magic in them, and tried to purify the area.

The pollution, teeming with vitality, churned and released life energy, forming an invisible barrier that blocked the light of the purification technique.

Celia withdrew her purification spell and fell into deep thought.

"The pollution here is somewhat similar to that of the Golden Apple Stone Forest. After a large amount of other elements were incorporated, a special purification and resistance method was formed... No, generally speaking, apart from special places like the Golden Apple Stone Forest, other places should not be able to form a protective film so naturally."

Celia was completely baffled by the pollution situation.

However, pollution that lingers for a long time usually has a source. Once the source is eliminated, the thin layer of pollution outside will dissipate.

"Although I don't want to have any contact with the elves, how can I, a person of justice, sit idly by when something like pollution happens?"

Celia made up her mind to go inside.

But before she could take a step, a voice came from afar.

"Please do not go near there!"

Celia was startled and turned around, only to see a familiar group of people running quickly towards her.

"Lana?"

Lana, who was running towards her, was also taken aback. "You're the elf who's going to the royal city... This isn't the way to the royal city, you're going the wrong way."

"Oh, really?" Celia blinked. "I'm sorry, I got lost by accident. I just happened to sense that something was wrong here, so I came to check it out."

Lana's teammates looked at Celia with suspicion. The female teammate who had spoken earlier questioned, "Even if you got lost, how could you have come here in the opposite direction? Are you really going to the royal city to seek blessings?"

Celia tilted her head: "I have a bad sense of direction. If I get lost, can't I at least get lost in the opposite direction? Sorry, I'll try to be more careful next time."

Lana glanced back at her. "I'm sorry, my friend's tone wasn't very nice, but it was to prevent any evil people from entering the Elf Forest. Please forgive her."

“The wicked person.”

“Dark elf, don’t you know?” the female elf said.

Celia shook her head. "I don't know."

She only knew from history books that elves had some subspecies, and dark elves were suspected to be one of them, but she didn't know the specifics.

Lana said, "Dark Elves is the name of an organization created by corrupt elves. They refuse to live in harmony with nature, and most of them are not from the nature faction... Recently, there have been many strange occurrences in the Elf Forest, and we suspect that the Dark Elves are plotting something."

She looked at the pollution faintly visible in front of her and said, "What's in front of you is that the Elf Forest is 'sick.' This pollution is the filth that's being discharged. If it's not dealt with, the filth will gradually devour the Elf Forest and turn it into a desert like the outside world."

Celia looked interested: "So you have a way to solve the pollution?" This pollution has life elements as a protective membrane, and purification techniques against it are only partially effective. If you want to solve this problem, you will need to conduct research for a period of time.

In any case, Celia will definitely investigate it eventually. No matter what kind of pollution it is, as long as it is pollution, it cannot be ignored.

If the elves possess a method to solve the pollution problem, then there's no need to start researching from scratch; they can simply use what they have.

Lana shook her head: "We can't solve it, we can only control it and stop it from spreading. Then we'll have to wait for people from the royal court to come and resolve it."

"I see." Celia said, somewhat disappointed.

She looked at the vast contaminated area in front of her, and seeing Lana and the others begin to move, she thought for a moment and asked, "Miss Lana, how long will it take for the royal court to send someone?"

Lana said, "I don't know. The entire Elf Forest is now polluted. I heard that only the royal elf who received the blessing of the Elf God has the ability to purify it. She is currently putting out fires everywhere and I don't know when she will arrive here."

A royal elf blessed by the god of elves?
A thought struck Celia, and she immediately thought of Elena, tentatively asking, "Was that royal elf the one who won the individual championship in the Mage League?"

Lana nodded. "Yes, you...you're a fan of hers too?"

Lana wanted to call out Celia's name, but then realized she didn't know Celia's name.

Celia said, "My name is Shilo. I'm not a fan of hers, but her name is very well-known in my hometown."

"Of course, she is the only elf in all these years to receive the blessing of the gods and even retrieve the divine relics. I heard that she has successfully advanced to the fourth rank. I am so envious. I wonder when I will be able to advance."

Lana looked longingly at her.

She is currently at the third tier. Celia cannot tell her age, but she can tell that she has a long way to go before reaching the fourth tier.

Through the topic of Elena, Celia and Lana quickly grew closer and found common ground.

After chatting for a while, Celia asked, "Do you need any help? I can do some things for you."

Celia has disguised herself and is now just an ordinary first-tier mage.

It's practically impossible for a mage below the fourth rank to see through her disguise.

Lana shook her head: "No need, we can handle the control measures ourselves."

Celia looked at the others. While she was talking to Lana, they had already spread out and placed some low-level magic crystals in this direction, faintly forming the nodes of a magic circle.

With just one glance, Celia recognized that this was a simple magic circle that temporarily restricted pollution. In addition to requiring some low-level magic crystals, it also required someone to continuously provide magic power to prevent pollution from penetrating the magic circle.

This means that even after the magic circle is formed, it still requires manual operation, making it far inferior to most magic circles that can operate automatically.

Even with such a simple magic array, the team set it up very crudely. Many places could have improved the efficiency of magic circulation if they were just aligned properly, but the magic crystals were left crooked and twisted.

Celia couldn't stand it anymore.

“I know a little about magic arrays, and I’ve also studied how to set up this one. I can help,” Celia said.

"Well... okay, can you help us set up the nodes on the side? This contaminated area should just be ordinary filth, so just set it up casually, there shouldn't be any problems."
