Chapter 660 Changes
"Celia?"

"it's me."

Celia walked over and confirmed Phil's question in her original voice.

Phil relaxed.

"Great, you're finally here! If you hadn't come, I..."

"What's wrong with you?" Celia glanced furtively at Ross beside her, unable to resist teasing Phil.

"It's okay, I'm just a little worried about whether I can make it back alive."

"Really?"

Celia didn't take it seriously because Phil's eyes darted around and his expression was strange when he spoke.

She is not good at lying.

As Ross's number one 'follower', Celia knew most of Ross's actions and knew that Ross had long been eyeing this girl who was not only in harmony with the gods but also with the abyss.

Although she didn't know how Ross would act, Celia knew that he had repeatedly used his puppet to contact her.

Was Phil really here for the relics of the gods?
Celia stared at Ross in her mind, hesitant to speak.

Ross smiled slightly. "She did come for the divine relic, Haroldias's relic, which would be perfect for Phil."

"Huh? That god... wasn't he supposed to be resurrected?"

Ross said, "It's not that easy. Although Harodias's retinue has been planning for hundreds of years, time does not guarantee success. Sometimes, the longer it drags on, the more unforeseen events will occur."

"Ok."

The more she learned about the secrets of the gods, the more complicated her feelings became.

Because the Holy See worships all gods rather than one particular one, many of its clergy do not have a specific deity to worship, and their prayers are addressed to all the gods.

In this situation, after discovering the secret of the gods' infighting, she became bewildered... wait, no.

Celia suddenly realized that she could no longer have faith in anyone.

That's fine.

Ross chuckled. "Your Holy Court is quite interesting. Most of your high-level sorcerers don't have a specific god they worship. Rather than treating the Holy Court as a religion, you treat it more like a country. Everything you do is to maintain the existence of this institution. I just don't know if this situation is a rule set by the God-King, or if it has been artificially modified over a long period of time."

"What……"

Celia was taken aback, and a subtle change in her expression occurred.

"I'll go to the Temple of Embers and look for it when I get back!"

Celia took note of this, and then returned with Phil to the city called Forest Words.

"Let's go, Celia, I'll take you to see the city lord and have him explain the current situation. Hmm, based on the battle lines, some escapees will arrive in Yan City tomorrow or the day after."

The City of Words in the Forest is also known simply as the City of Words.

"So fast?"

“The Royal Guard’s battle lines are stretched too thin. This has happened many times before, and many villages have been massacred this way,” Phil sighed.

"..."

Soon, Phil led Celia into the city lord's mansion.

This is located in the city center, on a huge tree.

From the high-altitude plaza outside the treehouse, you can overlook the entire Forest Word City.

Phil, a holy priest who once saved a city, is not as well-known as Celia, but he is still quite famous among the nobles, rulers, and high-ranking mages of various cities.

Therefore, upon entering the City of Forest Words, they were warmly received by the city lord.

The city lord of Yan City had already received Phil's message and came to the gate to meet the two. "Welcome, Miss Hiro. I am City Lord Bastua. Miss Lofiel has already told me that you are a powerful high-level mage. With your help, Yan City will definitely be able to overcome this crisis easily."

"Hello." Celia raised her hand in a mage's greeting. "I am Celia, and it is my honor to be able to help Yan Cheng."

The Elven Royal Court is arrogant and will not openly accept aid from other races or empires. The city lords of various cities naturally follow suit. However, in private, they have already extended invitations to various sorcerers to come and help, especially holy priests, who are very popular.

On the surface, these sorcerers seemed to have come voluntarily, asking for nothing in return, and the city lords welcomed them.

Secretly, the city lord had already paid the price.

Of course, most of the mages who came were of the third rank or below, and there were very few mages of the fourth rank or above.

Upon learning that Celia was a fourth-tier being, Bastua was overjoyed and came to greet her personally.

After all, he was only a fourth-tier mage.

As a 'satellite city' of the Elf King's City, his strength is not high. Those who are strong have long since left and do not work around the King's City.

After chatting with Bastua for a while, Celia got straight to the point, asking, "How is the situation now? Have any new abilities appeared among those monsters?"

“We haven’t seen any new abilities appear, but judging from the battle reports from the front, Miss Hiro may need to prepare for battle. Hopefully, she can help us buy some more time. We will be very grateful,” Bastua sighed.

"I'll try my best," Celia said. "I need more information about the monsters. I wonder if the city lord can provide it?"

"Of course, please follow me."

"..."

Soon, information about the monsters obtained from the front lines was delivered to Celia.

Celia examined it carefully.

Most of the puppets that emerge are of third rank or lower in combat strength, still known for their sturdiness, and have also established a peculiar connection with the Elf Forest, possessing extraordinary self-healing abilities.

However, once the monsters emerge, their defenses seem to be somewhat weaker compared to when they are underground.

In addition, after being slaughtered by the royal guards and various teams of sorcerers dispatched by the elven royal court, these monsters gradually learned to hide and escape.

Sometimes they will unconsciously avoid the main group or take a longer route, carrying heavy pollution to other areas.

Although the pollution waves caused by a large number of monsters moving together can still be detected by the mage troops, many still manage to slip through the defenses.

These monsters are mostly in small groups, ranging from a dozen to a hundred. Larger groups are quickly discovered and stopped.

"It's a pity that the city lord didn't bring the map of the changes in the defense line, or the information they were investigating about the movement of the monsters. The Knights of Law are still investigating that information, so we don't know it yet."

Celia shook her head, having gained some understanding of the current state of the monsters.

Seeing that Celia had put down her documents, Phil invited her, "Celia... it's getting dark, and you haven't eaten anything yet. Let's go get something to eat and rest for a bit."

Are the restaurants and bars outside still open?

As she walked along, the city had become mostly deserted, and Celia couldn't recall any restaurants still open.

"Some are still open."

"Oh, okay, let's go!"

"Ah."

Time flies by in the blink of an eye.

the next day.

morning.

A rapid alarm sounded throughout the city.
