Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint

"That's it."

Austin glanced at the fishing rod, then at the puppet carrying a sack next to Celia, and his eyes lit up.

"Looks like you had a good day."

Celia tensed up.

"It's alright, just an ordinary big fish, nothing else."

Because of the sealing runes, Austin didn't sense any magic emanating from the bag, and without thinking much of it, simply nodded, "Okay, did you fish it out with my fishing rod?"

"Yes, that's right."

“Good, very good, hahaha!” Austin laughed as if he had caught the fish himself.

Seeing how happy he was, Celia took the opportunity to say goodbye and then flew towards her dormitory at her maximum speed of 40 km/h.

"Thank goodness, Grandpa Austin didn't find out." The girl patted her chest.

It has already taken shape.

Ross chuckled. "You even left him shark fin soup, why are you afraid he'll find out?"

"If he only looks at the shark fin, he definitely won't know what kind of fish it is, but if he sees the whole fish, he will definitely recognize that it looks like a beluga whale, and then it will be very difficult to explain."

Do you think he'll connect this to the fact that you caught the beluga whale?

"Probably...?" As the 'mastermind' behind catching the beluga whale, Celia wasn't sure if others would make that connection.

"You think too much."

Ross shook his head.

This is like traveling back in time to participate in a World Cup prediction contest and correctly predicting a ridiculous 1-7 score, then worrying that people will say you're from another era.

Who would even think that way? At most, they'd have some doubts, and then exclaim a couple of times, "Wow, that's awesome!"

Surreal and outrageous events may be hailed as legends, but they are merely jokes and no one will actually take them as truth and investigate them.

However, Celia did not do anything wrong.

It's always good to be careful.

At this moment, the beluga whale in the sky had only just disappeared, and the strange phenomenon on the water surface in the sky had not completely dissipated. The entire school remained very quiet.

Most students were in the classroom or dormitory, mustering their courage to record everything in the sky.

A small number of people chose to venture out and observe the entire process from an open space.

Celia deliberately took a detour to a secluded spot, and no one noticed her as she made her way back to her dormitory without incident.

Once the door was closed, she excitedly jumped onto the bed and rolled around in the blanket a few times.

"I actually did it!"

The girl was very excited, and Ross laughed, "Yes, you are the MVP, and I am just a dog who won by lying down."

“Lord Ross is not some lazybones, don’t call yourself a dog!” Celia jumped up from the bed and said very seriously, “Thank you, Mr. Ross.”

"If you want to thank me, hurry up and improve your strength."

"Increase your strength..."

Celia suddenly remembered something she had overlooked for a long time.

Is now the right time to ask?

After hesitating for a long time, the girl finally mustered up her courage and asked, "Lord Ross, I have a question I'd like to confirm with you, is that alright?"

Ross raised an eyebrow. "What's the problem?"

Why have you suddenly become so distant? What could it be that you've been thinking about?

"Back then, when I summoned you, my wish was to create a magical puppet to pass the test. Now... not only is the puppet finished, but it has also been upgraded. Logically speaking, shouldn't the contract be completed?"

"finished."

"That……"

"But only a tiny fraction of it was completed."

"?"

Ross said with a half-smile, "Contracts are two-way. Generally speaking, your wishes can be exchanged for something of equal value. However, no matter what you offer in exchange, you cannot give me what I want."

"why?"

"Because I am currently sealed. In other words, if you want to receive what you give, you must break my seal. Breaking the seal will come at a price that is far greater than the wish you made."

Celia was a little confused. "I don't quite understand."

"It's alright. Just know that in order to receive the price you pay, you must break my seal. And to achieve an equal exchange of wishes and sacrifices, I've added a condition to your wish: to help you become a god."

"!!!"

The girl was shocked and completely bewildered.

Shocked that Ross actually intended to make himself a god.

Completely dumbfounded, an evil god can actually change other people's wishes?!

So that summoning contract was entirely decided by the evil god, right? Absolutely!

"Yes, you're right, I can customize your wishes."

Ross watched with a smile as Celia's expression changed.

Her eyes could now be described as a pie chart: three parts shock, three parts bewilderment, and four parts disbelief.

When her question was answered, Celia was somewhat at a loss.

However, she didn't dwell on it for long and quickly let it go.

"In other words, the full terms of the contract are: Lord Ross will help me create a magical puppet to pass my final exams, and incidentally, help me become a god; and the price I pay is a piece of my soul, and incidentally, help you break the seal of the gods?"

"clever."

Celia: "..."

If it were the first time she met Ross, Celia would definitely have resisted this custom-made contract.

At that time, my impression of Rose was based on the exaggerated descriptions of the Holy Court. As a saintess of the Holy Court, she believed that she could restrain her desire to become a god and not be influenced by evil gods.

But after so long, we've gotten used to Ross's presence. Judging from his words and actions, he's not as bad as he seems. The reason he's portrayed as so evil is because he failed in his struggle against the gods.

Helping him break the seal... doesn't seem like such a scary thing after all.

There is also the possibility that Ross deceived himself throughout, but Celia felt that the probability was extremely low.

Moreover, she believed she still had a choice before breaking the seal... probably.

When Ross could control his own body without needing consent, Celia knew that such a situation was simply impossible.

"Don't overthink it. I'll teach you how to process shark fins. Once you've digested these shark fins, you should be able to advance to the second tier."

Chapter 85 Discusses 108 Ways to Eat Shark Fin

Outside the Forbidden Forest, after Celia left, Austin casually picked up his fishing rod and prepared to go inside.

But then he noticed the fish fin and the note next to the fishing rod, and he picked them up and took a look.

[Grandpa Austin, this is a thank you for borrowing my fishing rod, please accept it ^_^]

"A...shark fin?"

Austin picked it up and examined it for a moment.

"Why is it blue... Wait, no, it's not blue, it's sealed by blue runes."

Austin immediately opened the door and went inside, found a magnifying glass, and carefully examined the runes in the shark fin. The more he looked, the more exquisite he found them.

"I've never heard of this rune before, neither in its style nor in its carving material. And this child, I have no idea where he came from."

After glancing at the note again, Austin pondered for a moment before finally making his decision—

Let's try it.

Sending shark fins, what else could it be but food?

"But it seems you forgot to teach me how to eat."

Austin stroked his beard, wondering what special way to eat a small shark fin could possibly be.

Grab it in one swift motion and swallow it whole!

As soon as the shark fin enters his mouth, Austin immediately uses magic to envelop it, and with chewing, breaks the shark fin into small particles before sending it into his body.

As soon as it entered his stomach, Austin's eyes widened.

"Such a concentrated magic, and... pollution!"

He quickly sat up and entered a meditative state to purify the pollution.

While purifying the pollution, he sensed the magic and strange power contained in the shark fin, which was improving his own magic and his body.

After a long while, Austin opened his eyes and exhaled the last bit of contamination.

"Good stuff. Although it's polluted, it can refine the purity of magic power and strengthen the body. If I had ten more, I might be able to break through to the sixth rank... There aren't many things that can refine the purity of magic power. Let me see what kind of fish it is."

After searching through the school's documents for a long time with his bracelet, Austin found no relevant records. He was stunned for a moment, then, not believing it, he connected to the Celestial's Protoss network and began searching through various documents.

Before long, he found several documents that resembled the originals.

The fish depicted on it are all long-extinct species.

Austin suddenly noticed one of them.

"The beluga whale?"

Austin had an idea—

Could it be that what I just ate was the fin of a beluga whale?

It seems possible, but it's extremely far-fetched.

No matter how you look at it, there's no way Celia could capture the White Whale.

wrong!

There is another possibility.

Austin thought of the beluga whale that had been pulled back today.

According to the principal, the beluga whale became the prey of a mysterious big shot.

If Celia knew that mysterious powerful figure, it wouldn't be impossible for him to give her some shark fin soup!

"Perhaps that seventh-tier mage asked Celia to requisition my fishing rod to fish for beluga whales?"

Austin started laughing as he spoke.

He didn't think about it anymore.

Some things are better left unthought up.

Especially for an old man like myself who only knows how to drink tea and fish all day long.

……

Celia's dormitory.

"Given your insufficient strength, you can't digest shark fin directly, so a special processing method is needed. Do as I say, first cut the whole shark fin into strips..."

Under Ross's guidance, Celia carefully prepared the shark fins.

Under the enchanted knife, the shark fin was cut into 30 even thin strips.

By inputting magic along a specific route, the contaminants in all the shark fins were simply purified before soaking and stewing.

Fortunately, there were no classes today, allowing Celia to keep busy until the evening.

Even the next day it wasn't better, and they continued to treat it.

Classes resumed the next day, but Celia didn't go; instead, she asked for leave and continued processing shark fins in her dormitory.

It wasn't until evening, after undergoing various complex processes, that the shark fins were presented to Celia.
