Chapter 759 Miss Celia is Vengeful (4k)

As she realized the Stone of Wisdom had landed in her hands, and a bunch of people rushed over noisily, a thought flashed through Celia's mind.

What would happen if we threw the Stone of Wisdom away?

But after thinking about it, she dismissed the idea.

The ruins of Epotemis have been secretly surrounded by a magic circle.

Or rather, the magic circle existed long ago, but was only activated today.

Most of those vying for the Stone of Wisdom are low-level mages, with only a small number of fourth-level mages mixed in. So far, no fifth-level mages have been seen participating.

90% of these people are unable to resist the attack of the magic array.

Throwing out the Stone of Wisdom to lure everyone out will only cause needless killing.

Celia's kindness stopped her from doing so.

"Something just doesn't seem right about these people."

Even if this Stone of Wisdom is rare, it doesn't deserve to charge around like a wild beast.

The things of the gods are not something that just anyone can control.

Celia looked at the people rushing towards her.

After a moment's thought, she chose to board the aircraft and head towards the ruins.

“Mr. Ross, these people are like they’ve been corrupted; they only have this Stone of Wisdom in their eyes. What’s wrong with them?”

Celia could sense that even though they were contaminated, the level of contamination was not high enough to make them lose their minds.

Even ordinary people cannot lose their minds.

So the question is, was it the Wisdom Stone that caused them to be like this, or is there something wrong with the ruins of Epimetheus?
Celia thought of Pamisa and the other two, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Ross, standing next to Celia, said, "Don't you want to find out the truth for yourself?"

“No.” Celia shook her head without hesitation: “I came here to sightsee, not to explore the ruins. If Mr. Ross doesn’t want to say anything, then so be it.”

Ross smiled. "Both of your guesses are correct. There's the issue of the Wisdom Stone, and there's the issue of the ruins hiding relics."

"Once you break the seal on the Stone of Wisdom, it will influence those around it, causing them to gradually lose their rationality and crave wisdom. The lower their wisdom, the greater the influence. Most of the ancestors of the current orcs were followers of the Goddess of Wisdom. They were influenced by the Goddess of Wisdom and are not so easily eliminated. Therefore, they are more likely to lose their rationality than ordinary people."

"In addition, the magic array at the Epotemis Ruins also played a role. They added something from the goddess of wisdom, Fiana, to the array, which, under the influence of the Stone of Wisdom, made them lose their minds even faster."

"So what exactly does the City of Fireworks want to do?" Celia's eyelashes furrowed.

"In order to allow the Stone of Wisdom to accumulate enough 'wisdom' so that it can be used by them." Ross smiled slightly.

"So all the scheming was for this thing, right?" Celia looked at the Stone of Wisdom that had inexplicably appeared in her hand.

“Often, so-called conspiracies and schemes aren’t that complicated,” Ross said with a slight smile.

"So how do we know if the Stone of Wisdom has gained enough 'wisdom'?"

"At the site of Epimetheus, most people perished in the pursuit of the Stone of Wisdom, and that was about it."

Celia glanced back and saw a dark mass behind her, roughly estimating to be four or five hundred people.

From time to time, people would get into conflicts because their eyes were bloodshot, and they would be knocked down by the people behind them.

Having learned everything from Ross and possessing the prerequisites for a speedrun, Celia had no intention of lingering here any longer.

She looked at Ross: "Mr. Ross..."

Ross had already grabbed Celia's collar. "Close your eyes."

The next second, the flight speed suddenly increased, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared from the sight of everyone behind.

When the two reappeared, they had changed completely.

"I can't use that form of Hilo for now, but thankfully I can transform into any form I want."

Emerging from the corner, Celia, her face pale, looked up at the countless mages flying overhead.

The color on my face was from the stimulation of rapid flight.

Even disguise techniques can't hide it.

Celia's disguises are generally not different every day; they are usually fixed to a few different looks. Unless she becomes famous like the identity of 'Celia', she can continue to use them in a different place.

Hiro had used her identity in other empires, but not in the Orc Empire, and hadn't done anything particularly noteworthy. So, Hilia often used it as well, which is why Pamisa and the other woman recognized her so easily earlier.

Celia looked at Ross beside her. "Mr. Ross, I'd like to see if I can help Pamisa and the others leave before I do."

Ross nodded: "That's easy. Although the magic array inside the Epotemis Ruins is very well hidden, once you discover it, it won't take long to break it, and you can leave without being hurt. It seems you don't plan to leave with them?"

"Hmph, of course. Since the City of Fireworks wanted to kill so many people, how could we not create some chaos for them and do justice to their 'good intentions'?"

Celia intends to make the City of Fireworks lose both its wife and its army.

Soon, Celia found Pamisa and the other two—guided by Ross's mission tracking.

The two had already left the previous high platform and were now near the ruins' wall, discussing whether to climb over it to leave.

Celia restored her appearance and walked over.

"What are you talking about?"

“Hey, Celia, we’re figuring out how to get over the wall and leave, but Anthony told me to keep looking and not leave yet,” Pamisa greeted.

Celia looked at Anthony in surprise, "You know it's dangerous to climb over the wall to leave?"

Anthony shook his head: "No, it's just a bit strange. The guards at the gate won't let us leave, but they don't seem to be wasting manpower guarding these dilapidated walls. Ordinary people can just climb over the walls and leave. I feel something's not right."

Celia nodded: "It's a good thing you didn't climb over the wall to leave. The management of the ruins, that is, the city lord of the City of Flames, has already secretly activated the magic array of the ruins. As long as someone climbs over the wall, it will trigger the magic array to attack. The attack intensity is as high as level four, which is very deadly to you."

Pamisa was startled. "Are you crazy? This city lord..."

Anthony frowned in thought: "Preventing them from leaving and secretly activating a magic array to prevent anyone from leaving, is it all for that Stone of Wisdom?"

Celia nodded: "Yes, that's why. You're somewhat innocent, but thankfully, you're not interested in the Stone of Wisdom and haven't been affected by it. Let's go, I'll see you off first."

Celia approached the dilapidated ruins of the city wall and carefully sensed the hidden magic circle.

She quickly discovered the flaw in the magic circle.

This magic array focuses on extreme lethality and concealment, while neglecting other aspects.

No magic array can be perfect, and this one is no exception. Anyone who understands magic arrays can find its loopholes by spending some time figuring it out, thus rendering the array ineffective or identifying themselves as an ally.

After a series of actions, Celia hid the magic circle nodes again to prevent them from being triggered. Then, she jumped over the city wall, went back and forth three times, and waved to Pamisa and the other person from the city wall.

"Alright, hurry up and get on, let's get out of here first."

"Thank you, Celia, you're a good person!"

Parmisa happily gave Celia a "friend card," then pulled Antony up the city wall and left the Epotemis ruins area.

Anthony turned to look at Celia, who hadn't come down, and asked, "Miss Celia, aren't you coming down?"

Celia said, "I have things to do, you guys go ahead."

“How can we do that? How can we abandon Miss Celia?” Pamisa said righteously.

Celia: "?"

What are you trying to do? Are you trying to hold us back?

To everyone's surprise, Parmisa said, "Anthony and I are cheering you on from outside."

Celia snapped out of her daze: "Oh, so you want to keep watching?"

“That’s the idea,” Pamisa said, glancing at Anthony and winking.

Anthony thought for a moment and said, "Let's find a high place and look through the binoculars. Don't get too close, or we'll be easily noticed by the people from Fireworks City."

“Okay! I’ll do as you say!” Pamisa smiled.

Celia was speechless. She only then realized that the two of them had unknowingly fed her a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

After saying goodbye to the two, Celia re-entered the ruins of Epotemis.

"First, we need to make them realize that they are trapped inside the ruins."

Celia ran around the city wall, quickly memorizing all the key nodes.

Subsequently, through her secret modifications, the concealment of the magic circle was weakened, and some protective functions were added.

An arc-shaped barrier slowly emerged, covering the entire site of Epotemis.

Meanwhile, the people inside the ruins were unaware of this and were still searching for the Stone of Wisdom.

"Then... let everyone recover."

Celia looked at Ross.

"Mr. Ross, please grant Celia's wish!"

Ross nodded slightly.

"Sure, but you'll need to give something in return for your wish to be fulfilled. What would you like to give?"

"Uh... I didn't know. Mr. Ross is an evil god, why would he need to ask me for anything? Just take whatever you want!"

Celia looked completely at ease, showing no fear whatsoever.

Ross chuckled and shook his head, raising his hand to release the divine power he had previously gathered, silently calming down the orcs who were frantically searching for the Stone of Wisdom.

The influence of divine power is not limited to this.

After everyone noticed the arc-shaped barrier in the sky above the Epotemis ruins, a thought popped into their heads.

"The Stone of Wisdom belongs to the gods. What merit do I have to possess it? This is pointless. I'm leaving."

Then, they all headed in one direction: the main gate of the Epotemis ruins.

All the orcs who had stopped fighting and searching formed a dark, dense crowd and headed towards the gate.

Celia wasn't in the crowd; she stood to the side, ready to see how the gatekeeper would stop them.

"Wait a minute, there seems to be a fifth-tier mage among those guards?"

Celia frowned.

The staff has been taken out.

If that fifth-tier mage is about to go on a killing spree, she will choose to launch a sneak attack.

Soon, the advance team arrived at the gate, and as expected, was stopped by the guards.

"I'm sorry, but without the city lord's orders, no one is allowed to leave the ruins of Epimetheus."

The guards spoke the same words as the guards who had stopped Celia before, barking dryly and blocking everyone's path. They seemed utterly unfazed by the sea of ​​people.

The orcs who were stopped were all stunned.

"What did you say?"

"What do you mean?"

"Why don't you let us leave?"

"Hahaha, do you think this is a city of fireworks? And you forbid people from leaving?"

What is the City of Fireworks trying to do?

"..."

The guard replied dryly, "This is the city lord's order. If you have any questions, please wait until the city lord arrives."

"Hmph, you think you can stop me with just a few of you? Get out of my way, we're not going to fight over your so-called Wisdom Stone, just let me go back."

"No."

The guard's words successfully provoked the crowd's anger, and the group began to push and shove their way out.

Just then, accompanied by a scream, the guard's knife pierced the body of the first orc who crossed the boundary line.

This became the trigger, and the crowd rushed outwards uncontrollably.

The guards' choice was—

kill!

For a moment, the scene became extremely chaotic.

Celia was somewhat dumbfounded.

"Wait, is this City of Fireworks really that brave? In the human world, no city would dare to do something like this, right?"

With so many tourists, who knows how complicated the relationships behind them are?

There are also fourth-tier mages among them, and who knows if there are any hidden fifth-tier mages.

You've offended so many high-level sorcerers all at once, don't you want to live a peaceful life for the rest of your days?

After much thought, Celia could only attribute it to the characteristics of the Orc Empire.

Celia stared at the fifth-tier mage among the guards.

At this moment, the enemy had already taken off, coldly watching the conflict between the guards and the crowd below.

The defense is very strong and they have good tactical coordination.

However, faced with a numerical disadvantage, they are suffering repeated defeats.

The fifth-tier mage's puppet has been summoned, and the staff hovers around the puppet, beginning to gather the power of flames.

At such close range, the terrifying magical fluctuations could not be hidden. The people who rushed out discovered the sorcerer's actions and their expressions changed.

"Damn it, the City of Fireworks wants to kill us all!"

"Run!"

"..."

The crowd immediately scattered and fled.

However, the fifth-tier mage gave a cold laugh: "Trying to escape? You really think you can get away?"

In fact, the area outside the door is still within the area of ​​the magic circle.

If nothing unexpected happens, the people inside will have no chance of escaping.

But as expected, an unexpected event occurred.

First, the people who had scattered and fled all passed through the magic circle without any hindrance and ran away as fast as they could.

This situation left the fifth-tier mage looking bewildered.

Immediately afterwards, a strong sense of crisis enveloped his mind.

He looked up abruptly and saw an arrow made of ice crystals appear silently and rush towards him.

In desperation, he could only use the command puppet to shield himself, rendering his original killing move useless.

boom!
The explosion of the ice arrow caused the city walls below to collapse, and the aftershocks rushed into the ruins, destroying a large number of dilapidated buildings and raising a lot of dust.

The first to be hit, the puppet, was shattered into pieces, with only the puppet's heart remaining intact.

The puppet's owner, like a kite with a broken string, fell to the ground and suffered serious injuries.

After doing all this, Celia clapped her hands, boarded the aircraft piloted by Ross, and quietly left with the Stone of Wisdom, concealing her achievements and fame.
