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

Chapter 663 On purpose?
"You mean, if you find the relics, you'll let me take them back, and if there are any blessings from the gods inside, you'll give them to me as well?"

Looking at the serious Phil in front of her, Celia was completely bewildered.

She shook her head, recalling the time she and Elena entered the ancient castle labyrinth and found the relics of the Elf God.

"Things belonging to the gods can't just be given away. The gods chose you, which means only you can use that thing. So why did you have this idea? This is an opportunity to increase your competitiveness."

"I……"

Phil hesitated, wanting to say that he was no longer "clean" and unworthy to run for sainthood, but ultimately he didn't say it.

She had suspected that the divine blessing that Celia received might also be Ross's blessing, but judging from Celia's behavior, it didn't seem like it at all.

After all, the characteristics she currently displays that indicate she has received blessings, her mastery of magic arrays and runes, and her special purification techniques are all things that legitimate deities would possess, not those of evil gods.

Based on the blessings he received, Phil realized that the runes Ross implanted in her body were related to corruption. Every time Ross appeared, he desperately wanted her to transform into the Abyss Princess...

Therefore, the relics of the gods should be left to the true Holy Maiden of the Holy Court. I might become some kind of Abyss Princess in the future, so I shouldn't take them carelessly.

Phil thought for a moment, hesitated, and said, "I just think that Celia is more suited to possess the divine relic."

Phil's eyes flickered as he spoke, which strongly suggested he was lying.

When Celia saw Ross smiling to the side, a flash of inspiration struck her, and she immediately understood what was going on.

Although I don't know what Phil is thinking, it's most likely related to Lord Ross!
Celia's gaze toward Ross became somewhat strange.

Ross just smiled and didn't say anything.

"It's too early to talk about that now. Divine relics aren't so easy to obtain," Celia said, both amused and exasperated.

Phil said, "Miss Elena from the Elven Court seems to have it quite easy."

That's because of Mr. Ross's help, Celia thought.

Wait, it seems Mr. Ross is also helping us now?

That's fine.

Celia decided not to dwell on it any longer and asked directly, "Did you come to this city just to deal with the beast tide? Or is it related to the relics of the gods?"

Phil said, “There is a connection. The area I sensed... is within the Elf King’s City. According to the revelation I felt in the dark, the gods told me that there are prerequisites for opening the relics in the four cities surrounding the Elf King’s City. Only by meeting the conditions can one enter the divine ruins beneath the King’s City and obtain the divine relics.”

"Four cities? Which four?"

Celia opened the map, and Phil clicked on it, pointing to four cities. These four cities were all within the Elf Forest, surrounding the Elf King's City like stars surrounding the moon.

Celia compared the route with the one Ross had previously given her and found that they didn't overlap.

"Have you found the prerequisites?" Celia asked.

"Not yet, still looking." Phil shook his head.

Celia looked toward the center of Forest Word City, at the towering tree.

"Could it be that tree?"

"This...it shouldn't be, right?"

"That's possible. In the center of each of the four satellite cities outside the Elf King's City, there is a large tree like this. It is said to have grown from the seed of a sacred tree. Although it is not a sacred tree, it has some of the characteristics of a sacred tree. What if these small sacred trees are what you are looking for?"

Celia blinked and asked in a low voice, "Do you know which god it is?"

Phil hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "It's Lord Haroldias."

"The god of life and death... the sacred tree of the elves represents life..."

"Ah...now that you mention it, it's actually quite possible."

Phil looked at the towering tree and fell into deep thought.

Celia smiled slightly: "I was just saying it casually, after all, I've never received such divine revelation."

As she spoke, Celia added in her mind:
Perhaps the knowledge is vague, but the divine revelation is very clear about what I should do and what I should find. Riddlers are the worst.

After thinking for a long time, Phil stood up.

"Go and take a look, maybe you'll find it."

The large tree that seemed to be a small sacred tree was the area where the city lord lived and worked. As heroes who had helped quell the beast tide and renowned holy priests, Celia and Phil could freely explore most of the area, of course, only when accompanied by someone; they could not do so on their own.

The two visited the small sacred tree, where Bastua personally hosted them, leading them not only to the areas open to the public but also showing them some areas that are not easily accessible to the public.

After the tour, the two returned to the hotel where they were being hosted. Celia bypassed the recording array set up in the hotel and asked:

"How is it? Did you find any clues?"

Phil pondered for a moment and said, "It seems like we're getting somewhere, but it's like a divine revelation, it's just a feeling."

"...Then let's continue exploring tomorrow."

"it is good."

The beast tide is not over.

Not long after the first wave of eliminations, as night fell and the soldiers relaxed their guard, the urgent alarm sounded again.

At this moment, Celia was meditating at night.

The alarm jolted her awake from her meditation. She quickly got up, put on her sorcerer's robes, and left the room.

Phil also came out of another room.

The two exchanged a glance, and then went up to the city wall together.

In the distance, one could vaguely see countless demons surging towards them.

The city lord has arrived and is solemnly ordering the magic cannons to be charged.

Moments later, a dazzling light streaked across the sky, illuminating the scene as an explosion occurred.

It seemed as if an endless horde of monsters was rushing through the jungle towards the city.

A rough estimate suggests there must be at least tens of thousands.

Upon seeing this magnitude, Bastua's face turned green.

"Why are so many monsters rushing over? Where are the royal guards? Aren't they going to stop them?"

An enraged Bastua contacted the Royal Guard directly.

Unfortunately, he was able to contact people in the rear, but couldn't reach the front lines at all; the front lines seemed to be very busy.

Celia also found it strange.

"With such a quantity, the resulting pollution fluctuations should have been so intense that the Elven Royal Court couldn't have missed it. Why didn't the Royal Court guards stop them when they were almost at the city gates?"

"If you didn't stop them, fine, but why didn't you even notify me?"

Celia looked at Phil, who was also puzzled.

The other fourth-tier mages, as well as those who knew something about the situation, also looked very grim and confused.

Celia couldn't help but make a bold guess.

"Could it be that the people from the Elven Court saw Yan Cheng easily deal with thousands of monsters, so they deliberately let him go so I could help them deal with them?"

She didn't try to hide her voice, and Bastua heard her words directly.

Bastuya's expression changed, and his fists clenched, but in the end, he said nothing and simply looked at the many soldiers.

"Continue charging!"
