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

Chapter 79 Return, Preparation

"In this way, we've gathered all the most difficult-to-obtain materials."

Celia looked at the dragon scale stone in front of her, which looked like an ordinary stone, with traces of being handled and a bit of patina.

It is irregularly round in shape, like a stone bead.

This stone was found in Wagner's house. According to Wagner, the stone absorbed the essence of a dragon and could bring good luck, so he kept it at home and would take it out to play with it from time to time.

Unfortunately, the dragon scale stone did not bring him good luck; instead, it brought Celia, who sent him to the court of judgment.

"I never expected to get it by such a coincidence," Celia exclaimed, marveling at her incredible luck.

Ross bluntly poured cold water on her enthusiasm: "It's not that you're lucky. Most noble families in Dawn City have a Dragonscale Stone. If it weren't for Wagner's incident, I would have asked you to steal one too."

"I'd rather not steal... I can't do it."

"Then you have pretty high moral standards."

When playing games, breaking into other people's houses to steal... no, taking things is commonplace. After all, it's a reward set up by the game for the player, and it belongs to the player.

However, after the time travel and the fusion of these memories, his mindset underwent subtle changes.

"What an absurd idea! I'm a law-abiding young man, how could I steal from someone else?"

Thankfully, he didn't actually instigate Celia to steal.

Ross decided that if this situation occurred again in the future, he would tell Celia to go directly to the owner of the item.

A gentle request has a 90% success rate!

Demanding it by force has a 100% success rate!

After returning to school smoothly, Celia started running around looking at the materials list.

At the same time, she submitted an application to Black for the use of three rare materials, and while she was at it, she went to the Holy Court and, through Vasily's connections, obtained three more. Finally, she spent a large amount of gold coins to buy the last two rare materials from the Sorcerer's Guild.

With the three materials obtained from this trip, plus the Golden Heart gifted by Benovia, all the rare materials are now complete.

Adhering to the principle of not spending money if you can get something for free, Celia applied to the school for the remaining ordinary materials under the pretext of practicing runes.

However, you can't apply for too many materials at once, so Celia had to spend her remaining gold coins to collect them all.

Looking at the pile of various materials, Celia counted the expenses on her fingers.

"Morning dew, 20 copper coins; white swan down, 10 copper coins..."

"Phew, I have 8 gold coins and 20 silver coins left. Thank goodness, I was lucky to get 10 gold coins on this trip, otherwise I would have been 2 gold coins short."

There were so many things that Celia had no idea whether any of the materials had been missed.

But seeing that Ross didn't mention it, she didn't bring it up either.

At this point, Ross had already manipulated the puppet to begin fusing the materials, slowly extracting what he needed.

This process lasted for two days.

All the materials were transformed into a strange liquid containing fine powder.

The final product has a deep blue juice that exudes a strange aroma and a strong sense of magic.

"How amazing is potion science! What kind of potion is this?" Celia stared at it with wide eyes, unable to contain her curiosity as she asked.

"In my time, this was called alchemy. This is not a potion, but ink for drawing magic circles, called ink for white whales to burrow."

"What a hasty name..."

"Because I just came up with that name randomly."

Ross took out some bait ink, put it into a crystal glass container, and then added some Heart of Gold.

The mixture of the Heart of Gold and the Dough Ink immediately unleashed a powerful surge of magical energy.

The destructive magical energy contained within made Celia's heart race, fearing it would explode at any moment.

"Don't worry, it won't explode. The magic released by the violent reaction between these two things is attribute-less, there are no conditions to detonate it, and it cannot be absorbed."

"That's good." Celia breathed a sigh of relief.

She had originally wanted to ask if the magic could be absorbed, but Ross had already answered in advance, so she had to give up in disappointment.

"What do we do next?" Celia asked.

“Let’s go fishing,” Ross said. “Huh? Fishing again?!”

"Ah."

"But I didn't finish eating the fish I caught before."

"Stop talking nonsense, just go when I tell you to. We'll continue fishing starting tomorrow."

"OK then……"

……

The next day, after finishing her classes in the afternoon, Celia packed her bags and went to the outside of the Sacred Beast Forbidden Forest again.

Austin is leisurely drinking tea.

as usual.

His eyes lit up when he saw Celia arrive. "What a rare guest! Celia, it's been so long since I've seen you fishing."

Because I've caught enough.

Celia thought to herself, then said shyly, "Good afternoon, Grandpa Austin. Would you like to go fishing together?"

Austin tossed aside the newly made Word Magic Brew and rushed into the house to grab his fishing rod.

"Let's go, let's go! I haven't fished for days. Ever since I caught that 100-pound golden cod, I haven't caught any extraordinary fish. I must catch another one this time!"

Passing by the Word of Power Brew that had been casually tossed aside, Austin paused, picked up the water bottle and put it on his backpack, then called to Celia to head to the Forbidden Forest Lake.

"Will Grandpa Austin have any influence?" Celia asked Ross.

"It won't affect anything, you can go ahead," Ross replied casually.

"That's good."

The two quickly arrived at the lakeside and began to dig a nest.

Austin approached Celia and placed the water bottle he had just picked up next to her.

"This is a secret brew of Words of Power. It can help sorcerers calm their minds, make it easier to enter a meditative state, and also enhance their mental strength. How about I trade it for bait?"

"The Secret Brew of Words? Excellent!"

Celia immediately agreed.

Austin asked for bait, found a good spot, and prepared to catch another big fish, while Celia poured herself a glass of Word of Power Secret Brew, sipping it as she casually cast her line.

While they focused on fishing, Ross manipulated the golem, carrying the special ink and the Heart of Gold, to wander around the Forbidden Forest lake.

After a long while, he returned to the area behind Celia.

Ross left the puppet in place and returned to Celia's mental space.

"Okay."

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll catch another one."

Ross glanced at the fish and saw that Celia's catch today was so-so, with only two palm-sized fish.

Without his help, it would be impossible to catch the extraordinary fish.

After all, those extraordinary fish usually hide in the deepest parts of the lake and never come out. To catch them by skill alone, you would probably need to do special research and have extremely good luck.

Celia's catch wasn't good, while Austin's was about the same, with only a tiny fish about two fingers wide after all that hard work.

Seeing that Celia was packing her things to leave, Austin noticed that Celia hadn't caught any extraordinary fish and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you leaving now?"

"Well, I still have homework to do, so I'll stop fishing. Grandpa Austin, you continue fishing, I'll be going now."

"Aren't you going to wait until you catch the extraordinary fish before leaving?"

"We can't catch any. Maybe all the extraordinary fish in the lake have been caught."

Austin immediately nodded in agreement: "That's right, I had the same feeling. Someone must have dived into the water and taken all the fish, which is why we can't catch any."

Celia: "..."
