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

Chapter 639 Celia is not alone, because Lord Ross is with her.
Elena will not return to the Elven Royal Court now, because if she does, she will not only be ignored, but may even be 'shelved,' meaning she will not be allowed to do anything.

She decided to conduct her own research to see if she could find a way to solve the monster scourge.

Of course, if the Elven Royal Court hadn't caused a monster horde to sweep through the Elven Forest, she wouldn't have needed to return to the Elven Royal Court.

Celia didn't seem to care much about this.

Helping Elena is something for later; for now...

She took the initiative to contact Melina and told her about the beast tide.

Melina nodded to indicate that she understood.

Afterwards, she also went to the vicinity of the pollution source and secretly observed it.

The first day was calm.

The Elf King issued an order for the Royal Guard to come to the vicinity of the pollution source, granting Louis temporary command.

However, it wasn't until the third day that the royal guards arrived near the source of pollution and set up camp in the vicinity.

On this day, strange movements were heard from underground, and some never-before-seen monsters appeared near the source of the pollution.

This phenomenon caught the attention of the pollution source investigation station, and they quickly sent people into the area.

Having observed the station's actions, Celia prepared herself and quietly followed them into the underground of the contamination source.

Once back underground, Celia could sense that the concentration of the gushing pollution had decreased significantly, reducing the resistance as she jumped down and allowing her to reach the underground space at a faster speed.

Celia looked in the direction the Elf Survey Team had gone, then thought for a moment and looked in another direction.

"It seems Elena came in too. She sneaked in all by herself. Isn't she afraid of getting into trouble?"

Celia shook her head, made her decision, and quietly entered the passage Elena had taken, heading deeper into the contamination.

Elena wasn't moving very fast. Celia followed the path Elena had taken, without really needing to hide anything, and soon she saw Elena cautiously ahead of her.

Celia hesitated for a moment and did not choose to go over and greet her.

“Elena said before that she had discovered something else. Maybe I can sneak up on her and see what she has found.”

After thinking for a moment, she felt that this was fine.

If I go up now, Elena might be scared and instinctively attack me.

Then, Celia suddenly heard a snap of fingers next to her.

Immediately afterwards, behind Elena, in her direction, a rock suddenly fell from above.

The sound wasn't loud, but Elena reacted instantly, shooting out a bright green magic arrow that struck the stone.

boom!
The stone shattered, but the arrow continued its flight without slowing down, heading straight for the stone where Celia was hiding.

Bang!
As the stone shattered, Celia also stepped out, glancing at Ross with a speechless expression.

This was clearly something Ross had planned; he deliberately exposed her.

“Celia?”

In the dark tunnel, Elena saw the figure that flashed out and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Celia brushed off imaginary dust from her clothes, walked up, and waved with a smile: "Hello, Elena, long time no see."

Elena exclaimed with delight, "I knew it! Celia, you would definitely be around here. With a beast tide, you couldn't possibly be absent!"

Celia: "..."

Elena said enthusiastically, "Since we're here, why don't we investigate together? This underground world is like a huge maze with interconnected paths. I'm a little worried about going alone, but if Celia is here, I'm sure we'll find that thing!"

Celia raised an eyebrow: "That thing? What is it?"

Elena said, "I don't know what it is either. It's just a hint given to me in the blessing left to me by the gods. It seems that she foresaw these disasters that might happen in the Elf Forest, so she gave me a lot of hints, although these hints are very vague, as if... she was afraid that someone would find out."

Elena was quite distressed: "If only the hints were clearer, just say what it is or where it is, so we don't have to wander around like headless flies." Celia asked curiously, "What did the Elf God say?"

"She said the key to solving the disaster lies beneath the Elf Forest. Beneath the earth, a glimmer of light shines, capable of saving everything."

Celia fell silent.

This hint is quite the riddle.

From Elena's perspective, she probably wouldn't be able to see anything.

Even Celia couldn't figure it out.

A flash of light that will save everything?

Could it be referring to the Heart of the Puppet, which forms the cornerstone of the underground magic array?

Celia muttered to herself.

She quietly asked Ross, "Lord Ross, do you know what the Elf God meant by those words?"

Ross shook his head: "Who knows what she's trying to say? The Elf God is an old riddle teller. I usually just listen to what she says casually, only to the surface, and don't think too much about it. Because her 'oracle' might be something she herself doesn't even know, so she says it on purpose, making it ambiguous. No matter how you interpret it, it's all 'her meaning'."

"Ah, this..."

This answer surprised Celia.

Could it be that the riddle teller of the Elf God wasn't worried about someone finding out, or for some other reason, but simply... unaware?

This sounds like something those so-called astrologers like to do...

"Can we still believe the words of the Elf God?" Celia asked again.

"Believe it, why not? She doesn't know what it is, hence the riddle, but one thing is true: the solution to disaster often lies in its source."

"Wasn't the source those three guys using runes of law...?"

That's just acceleration, not the source.

"Um, okay."

While talking to Ross, Celia was also multitasking, discussing the 'oracle' about the Elf Forest with Elena.

Of course, nothing was ultimately agreed upon.

Fortunately, Celia was already used to multitasking like this, so she didn't accidentally say what she was going to say to Ross to Elena.

After the discussion ended, the two continued their journey into the unknown depths.

Ross's phantom followed beside them, smiling as he watched Celia and Elena move forward while whispering to each other.

Both Elena and Celia had smiles on their faces, looking very happy.

Celia has been busy with purification and healing lately, and is under a lot of pressure. Elena, on the other hand, is not happy either, as she faces various constraints from the Elven Royal Court.

The two had traveled together for a while, but Celia was very busy at the time, and Elena didn't want to bother her.

Unlike now, neither of them was in such a hurry and they seemed very relaxed, with smiles unconsciously appearing on their faces.

Ross laughed and said, "So, isn't it easier and more enjoyable to act with two people?"

He was talking about how he had tricked Elena into discovering Celia.

Celia looked at Ross with a resentful expression. "It's easy with two people, but even without Elena, I'm not alone."

"Oh?" Ross raised an eyebrow.

The girl winked playfully: "Because I have Lord Ross with me!"
