Chapter 665 Nonsense that is not nonsense

Three thousand gold coins is a very generous reward.

After saying goodbye to Bastua, they arrived at a secluded spot, and Phil couldn't help but ask, "Was it like this when Celia helped purify the pollution?"

Celia smiled and said, "No, I used my real name and identity back then, so I had to keep it that way. But if they insist on donating gold coins to me, I won't refuse."

Considering Celia's background in a remote temple and how she was so frugal with her gold coins during her first year, Phil ultimately said nothing.

Perhaps Celia was terrified of poverty, Phil thought to himself.

Her father was the Duke of Pharos, the lord of an ultra-luxurious city who ruled over a vast area and had a certain degree of autonomy. He had never worried about gold coins, so he had no concept of them.

Because she had no concept of money, she developed the habit of not accepting payment for anything.

Both the Holy Court and her father were happy for her to do this, in order to cultivate a purer heart in her.

Celia didn't continue speaking. She glanced at the mountain of small gold coins and numerous cards piled up inside her spatial ring.

There were at least several thousand gold coins piled up, but Celia didn't know how many were in the card yet.

We'll see how things go later before cashing it in.

"Adding Yan Cheng's reward, even if some is given to Phil, the rest... should amount to at least ten thousand gold coins!"

Just as Celia was about to dream about the future, she suddenly saw Ross smiling beside her and immediately became alert.

Ross chuckled. "Don't worry, I won't rush you to train until you've solidified your foundation in the fourth tier. You can at least keep your gold coins for a while longer."

"So you really want to use my savings to buy things," Celia grumbled.

"Gold coins are just a bunch of enchanted gadgets if you don't use them. What's the point of keeping them? You might as well use them. If all else fails, you can absorb the magic power attached to the gold coins, which will also increase your strength a little. Only by converting gold coins into strength do they have any value."

“Gold coins… they look nice displayed,” Celia argued.

"Looks good? What good is it? Look at what happened to the last race that liked gold coins."

"Huh? What happened to them?"

"The last race that loved gold coins was the dragons."

"..."

Around 3 or 4 p.m., the urgent alarm sounded again.

This time, with the gold coins as motivation, Celia was extremely proactive and once again took the initiative to help eliminate most of the monsters.

This time, the number of monsters surged, reaching around fifty to sixty thousand.

In addition, there are some monsters that have reached the fourth rank hidden among them.

Phil found all the monsters and reported them to Celia, who then harvested them.

After the battle, it was already evening.

When the last monster was defeated, Celia looked in the direction from which it had charged, lost in thought.

"Speaking of which, the first wave was fine, but why didn't the latter two waves show the characteristic of being continuous? Why were there only one wave after another, with a period of rest in between?"

This approach is unlikely to be the way monsters that prefer to attack in groups behave.

She looked curious.

However, she did not go to check, but returned to the city wall first and received a reward from Bastua.

Afterwards, she looked at Phil and, on the way back with him, wondered whether she should tell Phil to come with her.

Phil isn't strong in combat, but she's incredibly good at support. Her holy magic can not only heal but also enhance other abilities, such as increasing the power of spells. Having her with you will definitely make things easier.

But before she could speak, Phil spoke first.

“Celia, I think I’ve found the key.”

"Ok?"

Celia's eyes lit up.

"How so?" "After I absorbed a large amount of the pollution emitted by the demons, and extracted that wisp of mysterious power from it..."

Phil raised her hand, and in her hand, something that seemed to be a branch, or perhaps the roots of a tree, slowly emerged.

“This is it. I can feel it. This is the ‘key’ I’ve been looking for.”

"So, the so-called key is actually something carried by the corruption on the monsters?" Celia said thoughtfully. "Does that mean that as long as you kill enough monsters, you can condense it?"

Phil honestly replied, "I don't know."

"Come on, I'll take you to kill monsters."

"Huh? Now?"

"Correct!"

Without a word, Celia told Phil to leave quietly and leave the city without a sound—this was not difficult for Celia, who was good at disguising herself.

After leaving, Celia boarded her flying broom, and Phil took out his own flying vehicle, and together they flew towards the direction from which the beast tide had come.

On the way, Celia approached Phil and said, "I find it strange that these monsters are invading in batches. It might be related to the key you got. Let's go and see if we can find the source of these monsters... If we can't find it, or if no more monsters invade afterward, it means they came specifically to deliver the key."

"Is there still such a thing?"

Phil was stunned.

"I don't know, but let's go take a look first."

Before long, the two of them felt that the pollution around them had changed.

The surging waves of pollution indicate that many monsters reside here.

The two exchanged a glance, flew to the ground, and saw a group of monsters wandering aimlessly below.

Celia observed for a moment, then looked puzzled.

"These monsters also seem to come from underground, but they are different from the information from the Elf Royal Court. They don't seem to be trying to expand their territory. Instead, they are just wandering around aimlessly, just like they are underground."

"Has the Elven Royal Court deceived the whole world?"

"It's possible, but the probability is not high. Perhaps they are withholding some information."

As Celia stepped outside, the monsters around her stirred, sensing her undisguised aura.

"Whatever it is, let's just fight first!"

Boom boom boom!
The magical energy surged, even driving away the surrounding pollution.

Without any more reservations, Celia's purification efficiency increased, and in no time, the monsters in the surrounding area were cleared away.

Celia opened the map, checked it, and said, "It's not far ahead. Bastua told me it's the place where the patrol went missing. Let's go, maybe there's something there."

"it is good."

The two moved quickly and soon arrived at the area marked on the map.

This place looks like an ordinary jungle, but there are traces of monsters trampling all around, and some trees have been cut in half, as if a battle had taken place.

Celia began to investigate seriously.

After a long while, she met Phil's expectant gaze and said, "Perhaps we should pray to God and listen to divine revelation in order to find the answer."

Under Phil's bewildered gaze, Celia immediately closed her eyes and prayed.

A moment later, Celia opened her eyes. "My prayers have been answered. The patrol has gone missing."

Phil: "?"

"I'm not kidding you, they're missing, not dead. The patrol team was teleported away in an unknown way, they didn't die. Also, there are a lot of teleportation traces left here."

"Could it be that those monsters were teleported here before going to attack the city?"

"Ah."
