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

Chapter 573 Celia didn't agree to your request!

For the sake of the gold coins, Celia's anger quickly dissipated.

As she looked at the gold coins, a disgusting idea from an elf elder popped into her head.

She quickly accepted the gold coins, looked at the elven elder, and asked, "May I ask, what you said, is it Elena's idea, or yours?"

The elven elder said calmly, "Of course it's our idea. You don't actually think Elena still wants to be your friend, do you? The difference in your status is there. Forcing yourself to be friends with Elena would be bad for both of you. I advise you to give up."

Celia snorted, turned around, and flew away without looking back.

The elven elder watched her go, frowned as she looked at the pollution gathering around her, and tried to dispel it. Soon, she realized that the pollution high in the sky was not so easy to 'dispel'.

They were carrying out 'dispersal' over there, all through physical means, directly releasing the pollutants into the high sky, letting them fly upwards until the concentration became low.

During this process, some of the magic merges with the pollution, transforming into harmless energy, while some is captured by the abyss during its high-speed flow.

The physical dispels used by the elves are far less effective than basic purification spells, not to mention purification spells specifically designed to target contamination.

This dispersing effect is most effective on the ground; at high altitudes...

After trying for a while, the elven elder realized that it wasn't so easy to dispel the evil spirits, so he prepared to return to Elena.

At this point, she was still unaware of the seriousness of the problem.

After a short while, realizing that it wasn't so easy to dispel, they stopped and returned to Elena's place.

By this time, some time had passed.

She approached Elena with an apologetic expression: "I'm so sorry, Elena, the elf said she felt very inferior and was embarrassed to meet you."

Elena was stunned. "That's impossible. She couldn't possibly have that kind of mentality. She's..."

The elven elder said, "But that's exactly what happened to her. She felt that there was a thick barrier between her and you, so after I extended an invitation to her, she... refused my invitation and insisted on leaving."

After a pause, the elven elder continued, "However, I didn't mistreat her. I gave her 100 gold coins and sent her to the royal city to receive a blessing. With these gold coins, she will have a much better time when she is punished as a ranger."

Elena frowned, sensing that something was amiss.

"Xi...is that really the case? No, she must have some reason for not wanting to see me, or...because I'm busy right now, she's planning to come after I'm done?"

She looked at the still surging waves of pollution before her and sighed.

"Alright, although I really want to see her, let's deal with this filth first. If she were here, I'd be so glad she'd cooperate with me. We'd definitely be able to resolve this smoothly."

The elven elder was very dissatisfied with Elena's words, which implied several instances of Celia's attitude.

Just as she was about to say something, her eyes suddenly narrowed as she looked at a figure slowly walking towards her not far away.

Her anger erupted instantly.

Elena sensed it too, and quickly turned her head to look at Celia with surprise.

“I knew it, Celia is definitely not that kind of person.”

Celia slowly walked over and looked at the elven elder. "Elder, what you just said doesn't match Elena's meaning."

The elven elder's anger seemed to materialize.

The invisible pressure seemed to materialize, even amidst the wave of pollution, it was clearly visible.

Pressure quickly overwhelmed Celia.

Under normal circumstances, a fourth-tier mage has virtually no ability to resist the pressure of a sixth-tier mage.

While she wasn't exactly unable to move, she was still having some difficulty breathing and speaking clearly. But Celia had Ross's protection.

The god-level mental power acted on Celia's body, and all the pressure that surged in was separated by the mental power and slid to both sides, having no effect on Celia.

Celia looked at her and smiled: "You seem angry. Is it because I exposed your lie?"

Elena looked at the expressionless elven elder.

When she looked over, she realized that the pressure had no effect on Celia. The elven elder had already withdrawn the pressure, but deep in his eyes, a fire still burned, and killing intent flashed constantly.

"Elder, what did you say to Xi just now? Is she really unwilling to see me? Is it really because of the so-called 'status difference' that she doesn't want to see me?"

Elena's three questions in a row made the elven elder's face tense.

She looked at Celia and said coldly, "Since you accepted the gold coins, why did you show up? Those gold coins were quite a lot, enough to make up for your friendship with Elena. Why did you go back on your word and break our deal?"

"A deal? Do you even know what a deal is? The Elven royal family's style is deception?"

Celia took out the bag of gold coins and weighed it in her hand.

"Look, what a beautiful voice! They actually spent so much money to break up other people."

100 gold coins is indeed a lot.

The official exchange rate for 100 gold coins is 1 million copper coins, and a loaf of bread costs approximately 100 to 5 copper coins (prices vary by region).

In reality, 100 gold coins are worth at least 150 million to 200 million copper coins.
This is a very high number.

Even in the realm of sorcerers, 100 gold coins can buy 5 Water-type Natural Puppet Hearts.

High-grade materials are about the same price.

"If what you're saying is true, then maybe I'll accept it. But Elena and I are good friends, and under normal circumstances you definitely wouldn't agree to let me come. So I'll have to use a delaying tactic."

With a smile, Celia tossed the bag of gold coins to the elven elder.

The elven elder accepted the document and said calmly, "Since you are so stubborn, then so be it. With me here, you will not get close to Elena."

As she spoke, she subtly moved in front of Elena, blocking Celia from view.

Celia didn't pay any attention, but looked at Elena and greeted her, "Hello, Elena, it's nice to see you again."

Elena glanced at the elven elder with displeasure, then greeted him happily, "Hi... Hello! If I weren't currently unable to leave, I would definitely take you on a tour of the Elven Forest."

Looking at the surging pollution around her, Celia shook her head and said, "The trip to the Elf Forest is probably not going to happen. The concentration of this pollution is even more exaggerated than that of the Northern Alliance back then. The only reason I came out was to say hello to you and let you know that separating the pollution and throwing it into the air is useless. There are too many of them. This is just a drop in the ocean."

Elena said helplessly, "There's nothing we can do. We don't have any way to solve the pollution problem. Only the Holy Court has that method... By the way, Xi... it seems you 'stole' the Holy Court's purification technique?"

Celia nodded with a strange expression.

Elena exclaimed with delight, "Can you help me? If we work together, we're sure to succeed..."

“Elena,” the elven elder suddenly interrupted Elena, “the royal court is not as bad as you think. We don’t need a half-elf. We can handle it.”

Celia smiled and said, "You heard it too. It's not that I don't want to help, it's just... tsk tsk. Alright, you guys are busy. I have to go. I still need to go to the royal city to 'receive a blessing'."

After saying that, Celia waved and left decisively.

Behind them, the elven elder's eyes flickered, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
