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

Chapter 29 A Village Isolated from the World

Outside a small town, Celia looked at the magical light screen projected onto her bracelet, which displayed a map projection, confirming that she had arrived near her destination.

"This should be Xuesheng Town, but... it seems we haven't reached our destination yet."

Celia looked at the specific destination displayed on the screen. It was about 24 kilometers away from Snowflake Town, barely within the jurisdiction of Snowflake Town.

According to intelligence from the Protoss network, the area is mostly mountainous and sparsely populated.

Due to its unique and treacherous environment, coupled with the scarcity of magical resources, this area remains unclaimed and still falls under the jurisdiction of the Holy Court.

"Let's go report to the Mercenary Guild first."

Celia withdrew the light screen, jumped off the flying broom, and walked into the town of Cedar.

This town is located in the northwest region of Shining City, but it has not benefited from the city's influence. It is resource-poor, sparsely populated, and covers an area of ​​less than 2 square kilometers, making it only a small town.

The mercenary guild was also very small, unlike the bustling city of Shining Ashes.

Even the mercenary guild here, like a tavern, had a few scattered people sitting at tables drinking.

They weren't speaking loudly, perhaps because it wasn't time to get hyped up yet, since it was only afternoon.

When Celia entered, they all looked up, but because Celia was wearing a simple sorcerer's robe and her face was covered by a hat, they couldn't see what was going on. They glanced at her and then lost interest in paying attention, continuing to drink their wine.

"Hello, I received a request from Snow Mountain Town and am just reporting in. Is the person who requested the request in the guild?"

Celia went to the tavern counter and asked the receptionist standing behind it.

"Please show your mercenary badge."

The receptionist spoke habitually, her expression lazy and somewhat impatient, until Celia took out the badge and placed it in front of her. Only then did she sit up straight and become proper. She was slightly taken aback after receiving Celia's request.

She looked up at Celia in surprise. "Are you sure you want to take on this request?"

Celia asked, puzzled, "Is there a problem?"

"No, no problem." The receptionist looked around, then suddenly leaned closer and whispered, "You're from a big city and don't know the situation. The client for this request is some inexplicably poor guy. He's clearly a powerful sorcerer, but he dresses like a country bumpkin, has a strange temper, and always says nonsensical things..."

"This commission has been listed for half a month. The danger level has increased from level one to level two, but the reward is still 10 silver coins. Not to mention, the commission area is still a deserted mountain with hardly anyone. Some people took the commission out of curiosity, but they all gave up the commission in the end because of the unreasonable demands of the other party, which caused my performance to drop. I even suspect that she is a monster... I suggest you give up this commission."

“Thanks for the reminder, but arranging clients is not something a qualified receptionist should do. Besides, you also said that the other party is a powerful mage.” Celia looked at the other party with a grin.

"Sorry, sorry, I misspoke. Please don't report me to the guild." The receptionist quickly straightened up. "Your registration is complete. There is no Protoss network coverage in this area. We have sent you the area location. To avoid going to the wrong place, please follow the instructions."

"Has the client come to Cedar Town recently?" Celia asked.

"I came once last week, and after adjusting the danger level to level two, I haven't come back." The receptionist shook his head.

Do you have any visual memories of the client?

"Yes, it has been sent to your surgical ring."

"OK, thanks."

As Celia prepared to leave the Mercenary Guild, she suddenly noticed that everyone inside seemed to be secretly observing her.

Some people were even chuckling quietly.

"Yet another outsider."

"It's normal for outsiders to not know the ins and outs of the game, but it's a pity they've made another wasted trip."

"That crazy woman's gold coins, they're not that easy to earn."

"What gold coins? Those are silver coins."

"..." The person speaking was quite far away. Celia wondered how her hearing was so good that she could hear whispers coming from so far away.

"I'm the one who let you hear it."

Ross's voice came through.

Celia suddenly realized.

Not surprising then.

After leaving Snowflake Town, the bracelet projected a guide to the quest, and an arrow appeared ahead, pointing to the area where the quest was located.

Many of the areas requested for the missions were not covered by the Protoss Network, so the Mercenary Guild developed a special guidance spell that could guide mercenaries to the mission areas in areas not covered by the Protoss Network.

This spell can be activated through a bracelet, acting on the bracelet's magical light projection.

"Flying is not prohibited in the wild. If you fly at full speed, it should take half an hour to get there... It's not far, but I don't know if there are any dangerous magical beasts along the way."

"Fly with confidence. If you encounter any monsters, consider them as a bonus," Ross said.

Since even the evil god has said so, let's fly!

Celia boarded her flying broom, which had its speed limit removed after she applied to have it used outside the school.

So Celia flew at full speed.

41 km/h!

"What speed!" Celia cheered.

"...A 2.5% increase in speed compared to before is already fantastic," Ross affirmed.

About an hour later, Celia arrived at the designated area for the mission.

The reason it took so long was that after experiencing "supersonic" flight, her speed unknowingly decreased. In addition, she took a break to recover her magic power in order to avoid encountering any unexpected events, which is why it took twice as long as scheduled.

Here, nestled among the mountains, in the area indicated by Celia's Comparison Guidance spell, the commissioned area is confirmed to be a small flat area surrounded by mountains below.

The flat area was small, surrounded by mountains, with a small river meandering through them.

In that small patch of flat land, Celia noticed some cultivated fields. Upon closer inspection, she discovered some man-made structures faintly emerging from among the trees.

"People actually live here?"

Celia was shocked.

The nearest town is more than 20 kilometers away. If it were a sorcerer, that would be fine, but it just means that the person prefers to live in seclusion.

But there's more than one house inside; there may be dozens of households, arranged in a ladder shape on the flat ground.

They can't all be sorcerers, can they?
How long would it take for an ordinary person to get to town?
Keep in mind that this place is surrounded by mountains, and the mountain roads outside are difficult to travel. They are not like sorcerers who can fly.

With questions in mind, Celia landed and stopped in front of the village entrance.

She looked at the village in front of her, somewhat hesitant.

"Don't be afraid, go in. There's only one sorcerer in this village, and his strength is only at the first level, not yet at the second level. Don't be afraid," Ross's voice came.

"That's it."

Celia put aside her worries and walked into the village.

Since we're all just ordinary people... there's nothing to be afraid of.
