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

Chapter 38 The High Priest Appears, A Clash Begins
The white whale was very familiar to Ross; it was a resource that he could farm regularly in the early to mid-game. He could feed it not only to himself but also to the NPC characters he was training, helping them level up.

In the game, the effect of consuming it is that it increases experience gain efficiency by 100% and has a chance to enter the 'Sea Heir' state, which increases affinity for water magic.

In reality, in addition to accelerating meditation and increasing affinity, it also has an additional effect: directly increasing a large amount of magic power, depending on the amount consumed.

Therefore, farming the White Whale is an inevitable path for every player, and Ross is very skilled at it.

At the beginning of the White Whale incident, it was necessary to add backdoor runes to the corresponding summoning circle to influence the mental state of the White Whale and achieve some strange chain reactions.

That's exactly what Rose is doing now.

"Alright, that's almost done. Let's go back."

"Is this okay?"

Celia blinked.

Yesterday I racked my brains trying to figure out how to solve it, and I couldn't even find the magic circle. But today, Ross pointed it out, and I found all the magic stone hiding places.

The huge difference made Celia feel a little sad, but when she thought of Ross's identity, the sadness immediately disappeared.

Hey, he's a god.

what do you?
The girl hesitated for a moment, then said cautiously, "Um, Lord Ross, I think we should just destroy the magic circle directly, right? I don't want to eat the shark fin anymore."

That's a terrifying monster capable of destroying towns.

I'm just a first-tier mage...

How to subdue?

Slide tackle?
"Don't even think about it. Once the aquatic creatures turn into beluga whales, the summoning circle will be unstoppable. Destroying all the magic stones won't help either. These stones were useless from the very beginning, so it doesn't matter whether you dig them up or not."

"Oh, I see. When the teachers come, they'll probably start digging, right? Won't that ruin your plans?"

"Once the backdoor is completed, it will remain permanently on the summoning circle, directly modifying the underlying code of the summoning circle. Even if the Deep Sea Alliance comes, they won't be able to destroy it."

really?
Celia wanted to have doubts, but felt she had no right to doubt, so she could only tremble and obey Ross's arrangements.

"What about the mutated fish here? Will their numbers increase?"

"Yes, your teachers will handle it."

Celia felt this wasn't a good idea.

It seems she got all the benefits, while the teacher had to handle all the trouble...

But after comparing yesterday and today, especially after learning about Ross's methods for purifying pollution.

That purification magic is more efficient and has lower requirements than Holy Word Purification...

She dared not speak, nor dared she ask.

Lake Bea was taken care of so easily that Celia was still in a daze when she returned to Bea Village.

Until she heard a voice that shouldn't have been there.

"Well, just as I thought. The guidance from the gods has finally led me to the hidden heretics."

"Oh, are you holding some kind of sacrificial ceremony?"

Looking over, Celia saw the High Priest of the Snow Cedar Temple appear above Snow Cedar Town with five knights. The location where they were was the very spot where Celia had dumped the pollutants.

A large group of curious villagers had gathered there.

But the villagers are now looking up at the high priest and the knight in the sky, completely bewildered, not knowing what is happening.

Marina was the first to react. She quickly came to the front of everyone and shouted, "We are not heretics. These are the pollutants we found, and we are about to deal with them..."

"Oh? You intend to destroy the contaminants and continue to hide in these deep mountains to hold evil sacrificial rituals?" The high priest showed a look of pity. "Poor lost lambs, you have been corrupted by heresy and there is no turning back. Let the knights from the Holy Court end your lowly lives."

"Wait a moment!"

Seeing that the high priest was about to give the order, Celia rushed over and blocked everyone's way.

“High Priest, they are not heretics, and this is not a heretical stronghold. I collected all those contaminants myself,” Celia said quickly.

Upon seeing Celia, the High Priest immediately smiled and said, "It's you, child. The Holy Court is very grateful for your contribution. Your report to us about gathering the heretics is a great achievement. We will reward you after we have eliminated all the heretics. Now, please step aside and do not hinder the Holy Court's cleansing of the heretics."

Upon hearing this, Celia became agitated: "How could you say that? Are you deaf? I said they are not heretics, how could you slander me?"

"Slander?" The high priest's expression turned cold. "Are you questioning the words of the bishop of the Holy Court and the high priest of the temple?"
“You are just a first-tier mage, a hidden heretic. Do you know that I do? I will allow you to offend me once, but if you insist on stopping me, it means you are also a heretic. Don’t blame me for the Holy Knights’ iron cavalry trampling over you.”

"I trust my judgment, and I vouch for it with my identity," Celia said, taking out her student card from her bag.

The high priest glanced at him and scoffed, "Students, huh? So that's how it is. It's normal for the most innocent group to be deceived by heretics. Step aside, future knight, I forgive your offense."

"What if we add this?"

Celia then took out another item, a badge shaped like a dove in her hand. Others might not recognize it, but the high priest certainly would.

That's the emblem of the saint.

Even those preparing to become saintesses will receive it.

Sure enough, the high priest's expression changed.

If Celia were just an ordinary mage, you could easily label her a heretic and deal with her together if you didn't like her.

If the person is a student of the Holy Magic Academy, he will treat it with caution, forgive the offense, and then tie them up and send them back to the school for punishment.

But the other party is a saintess of the Holy Court!

No, prepare a saint.

Even if she is a prospective saintess, her future achievements will inevitably surpass those of a priest in a small town temple, someone the high priest cannot afford to offend.

How could she be a saint?

The high priest panicked a little and his attitude softened.

He quickly recalled Celia's name and said kindly, "So you're Miss Celia. I'm Dylan, High Priest of the Cedar Temple. I apologize for offending you, but..."

He looked down at all the villagers who had gathered there. "Are you sure they're just ordinary people, and that there aren't any hidden heretics among them?"

“I can vouch for it with my own identity.” Celia swept her gaze across the faces of all the villagers below and said definitively, “None of them are.”

Jack was not in the crowd.

True heretics are not interested in ordinary pollutants.

At this moment, the villagers below also understood what was happening, and they were discussing it, looking at the negotiations above with fear and unease.

They dared not leave, for the knights had already quietly surrounded them.

On the other side, Ross, controlling the puppet, leaned against a tree with his hands crossed behind his head, legs crossed, watching Celia negotiate.

It was almost as if it had a blade of grass in its mouth.

Generally speaking, once Celia reveals her identity and makes a guarantee, the matter is considered closed, and the High Priest will definitely give her face, provided that...

Celia compromised.
