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

Chapter 730 Strange Relics
Inside the office, Blake looked at the five people with a serious expression.

Celia's attention wasn't on him, but on Anko.

Or rather, Anke's hair and body.

Anke's hair appeared black, but it had a crystalline sheen, making it seem somewhat translucent.

Anke leaned closer and whispered, "This is the latest potion I've developed."

As she spoke, she tossed her hair, releasing a faint fragrance.

Accompanying the fragrance is a peculiar sensation.

Celia felt that her magic was circulating faster.

"The hair is a side effect; the real effect is to increase the speed of magic circulation, allowing for faster spellcasting."

Celia raised an eyebrow.

It seems Anke hasn't been doing nothing all this time.

While she, Phil, and Benovia were causing trouble in the Elf Forest, she was engrossed in her research.

Although the direction of this research is somewhat unusual.

Why enchant hair as well as buff potions?
But it has to be said that that kind of hair, which looks almost transparent, is actually quite pretty when you look closely. It looks smoother and shinier than other people's hair.

This made Celia a little tempted to try it out.

"Cough cough."

The principal's voice came through.

He glanced at Anko and Celia and said, "After the potential pollution was discovered underground in the Elf Forest, the Holy Court and the Royal Family jointly launched an investigation throughout Ishtar to see if there was any pollution underground here."

"So far, no traces of large-scale pollution have been found, but by tracing some small pollution traces, we have discovered many relics that we had never found before. Among them, there is a relic with a restriction level below the fifth level, which is quite special."

The saintesses immediately stopped and began to listen attentively.

Blake looked at him strangely and said, "That ruin is restricted to female sorcerers only."

A question mark slowly appeared above the heads of the saintesses.

"There's such a restriction?"

I have never seen such amazing restrictions.

Most ancient ruins have various restrictions, some restricting low-level or high-level sorcerers, and others prohibiting sorcerers from certain factions from entering.

Of course, there are also unrestricted ruins, but those ruins are now called scenic areas, not ruins.

But the ruins that restrict female sorcerers... Celia has never actually seen them before.

Blake said, "According to the repeated investigations of the altar, the purpose of this ruin is to prevent anyone from passing through."

The saintesses couldn't help but feel curious and waited quietly for Blake to speak.

"That ruin is very peculiar. On the surface, it is only open to female sorcerers, but all the traps inside are designed to target the behavior and habits of female sorcerers. Anyone who enters will inevitably be bound by the traps, thus failing to conquer it."

Celia's heart skipped a beat.

There are still such relics?

The plan was to restrict entry to female sorcerers and then design activities specifically targeting their behavioral habits... For a moment, Celia was unsure which behavioral habits would be specifically designed for her.

However, in high-level ruins, the habits of sorcerers tend to be similar. If the ruins want to be designed specifically for a particular type of mage, it would probably be the same even if they didn't follow gender.

As for why it was designed this way, she didn't understand either.

"So, does the headmaster want us to explore that ruin?" Celia asked.

Blake nodded: "Yes, that ruin is quite special and has aroused the interest of investigation. According to our initial exploration, the ruin seems to be very safe, but there are hidden dangers that we do not know about."

"Its constraints, while a bit troublesome, aren't that complicated. So far, we've figured out many of its fixed rules. As long as we remember those conditions, we can smoothly navigate the peripheral design challenges."

"However, just when we thought we had reached the core area, unexpected conditions would always appear there, sending us all out."

Blake shook his head and continued, "Based on our extensive exploration and strategy, we believe that in addition to the restriction to female sorcerers, the ruins have some additional limitations. Perhaps... it restricts the sorcerer's level of divine contract. Only those who have reached a certain level of divine contract can enter. This is a reasonable direction we have deduced after our extensive exploration."

"So, Celia, Doris... your task is to crack the final entry condition and see what's inside that ruin."

"You are one of the most likely candidates for that ruin, and you meet the basic requirements. If possible, I hope you can clear it during the holiday trial."

Black paused for a moment, then chuckled, “Of course, it’s okay if you can’t pass the test. There’s something strange about this relic that only allows female sorcerers. We suspect that one of the twelve main gods is selecting sorcerers to inherit the legacy. If you can’t pass the test, it just means that you are not the inheritors of that goddess, which is not a big deal.”

Among the twelve main gods, there are five goddesses: the moon goddess, the goddess of fate, the goddess of wisdom, the goddess of wind and nature, and the goddess of ice. No matter which god's ruins you can clear, they are all quick ways to improve your high-level combat power.

Therefore, the Holy Court still cares about it quite a bit.

Benovia asked, "What if this ruin is purely malicious, and its ultimate goal is to wipe us all out?"

"First, your assumption is impossible. Second, even if it were possible, with your current strength, you could return safely. Of course, if you don't return..."

Blake smiled slightly: "The Holy Court will also search for new candidates for the Holy Maiden."

Anke said, "Principal Black, what you said is a bit disheartening for us."

“I’m just telling the truth. This year’s Saintess is stronger than the previous ones. Rather than deceiving you, I’d rather tell you the truth so you can feel it’s more real,” Blake said.

"Uh……"

Celia didn't know what to say.

"So, are you going?" Blake asked seriously.

Unlike ordinary students, Black would consult with Celia and the others, who had already advanced to the fourth rank, before asking them to do anything.

“Go, why not go?” Celia said excitedly. “These ancient ruins are obviously extraordinary. What if they really are the relics of gods?”

As she spoke, Celia suddenly paused, her expression changing. She suddenly thought of Ross…

Blake didn't notice the subtle change in Celia's expression. He nodded. "You're right. Maybe this ruin is the ruin of the Moon Goddess, or even the Three Fates. So, what about the others?"

“I’ll listen to Celia,” Benovia said first.

The others nodded in agreement.

Even Doris, who wanted to cause trouble for Celia, didn't say anything.

"Alright, then your holiday trial will be at that ruin."
