Let them live with that regret for the rest of their lives!

“Me,” Elise said, quite self-aware.

“Since you know this, then take responsibility.” Vivian straddled Iris’s lap and wrapped her arms around Iris’s neck.

The moon is beautiful tonight.

Volume 1: Chapter 418 This, I will

Early morning, in Vivian's room.

Vivian carefully lifted the covers and got up, casually picking up the changing ring on the table. A set of elaborate clothes instantly covered her naked body.

To be honest, Vivian quite liked this convenient magical device, which saved her a lot of trouble.

Just as she was about to get up and leave the room, a long, slender, white arm suddenly reached out from under the covers and grabbed Vivian's clothes: "Won't you lie down a little longer?"

Hearing Elise's languid voice, Vivian turned her head and found that Elise, who had just been fast asleep, had woken up at some point and was looking at her with her sapphire-like eyes.

"Have you always been such a light sleeper?" Vivian asked casually.

"There's nothing I can do about it. My sweet, soft cushion suddenly disappeared; of course I'd notice!"

The main reason is that Elise is easily startled awake when she sleeps because she has died in her sleep so many times. She wakes up at the slightest sound.

"It's getting late. Now that you're awake, you should go back. I still have things to do today."

"Are you really that heartless?" Elise looked at Vivian with a wronged expression, her eyes seemingly filled with tears.

Unfortunately, Vivian is completely unmoved by her charms now. Even when Iris shed tears, Vivian remains unmoved.

Not wanting to waste her emotions, Elise sniffed and composed herself before muttering softly, "That's the vibe. You used to be just like that, unmoved even when I cried so hard in front of you."

"Speaking of which, did you awaken any memories last night?" A hint of curiosity flashed in Elise's eyes.

Vivian was silent for a moment before saying calmly, "It's not an important memory."

Although that's what she said, Vivian's mind was flashing back to the image of being sent to the guillotine. Although it was only a very brief memory, it had a huge impact on Vivian.

This is why she remained so silent.

"Your expression doesn't quite look like it~"

Without giving Elise much time to observe her, Vivian got up and walked straight to the door.

Seeing this, Elise couldn't help but purse her lips. Vivian was just too good at controlling her emotions, which meant that she couldn't see any fun even if she wanted to.

But never mind, considering Vivian begged for mercy last night, I'll let her off this time.

Elise casually changed her clothes and then left Vivian's room through the window.

As soon as she returned to the manor, she ran into Wendy, who had just come up from the basement. Upon seeing Elise, Wendy immediately came over and took a serious sniff.

Why do you smell like Vivian all over you?

"I just came from her house, what do you think?"

"Then when will you be able to smell me?" Wendy's expression remained unchanged, but even Elise couldn't answer the question she asked for a moment.

“I’m a little curious.” Elise narrowed her eyes as she looked at Wendy: “Why are you so obsessed with that kind of thing?”

"Out of curiosity, because I've never experienced something like this before, I wanted to give it a try." Wendy didn't know anything about hiding anything from Elise and just blurted out her true feelings.

"If that's the case, then I can only say that there will be an opportunity sooner or later."

"Really?"

"When did I lie to you?"

"Oh."

Wendy nodded to indicate that she understood, and then stopped dwelling on that matter. Instead, she began to talk to Elise about the development of the Church of the Earth Goddess.

In the Principality of Cleria, the Church of the Earth Goddess has become the mainstream church, and even in the border city of Shar, it has a very large influence.

Even if Wendy didn't say anything, Elise could sense that the power of faith belonging to the Earth Goddess was growing day by day, and the blessing of the Earth Goddess on her was also steadily increasing.

In addition, there is good news: the insect eggs that Elise originally left in the Cursed Fertile Land have survived and are now thriving there.

Although its development speed is not as fast as the outside world, it can help Wendy analyze the composition of the cursed fertile soil and give Wendy resistance to the curse.

Just as the two were chatting, Theresa's familiar figure came down from upstairs.

Recently, she listened to Elise's advice and stopped trying to remove the curse from her body. As a result, the feeling of being out of place in the world faded a lot, and her emotions became more varied.

Seeing this, Elise's lips curled slightly, and she greeted her, "Where are you going so early?"

"Let's go see the land of hope."

"That's perfect, I'm going too, wanna come together?"

"it is good."

Theresa nodded gently, then slowly walked over and stood beside Iris.

Elise looked at Wendy again and asked, "Do you want to come along?"

To Elise's surprise, Wendy shook her head and declined her invitation this time.

As if worried that Elise might misunderstand, Wendy continued, "I have other things to do today. An author's book is being released today, and I want to buy it."

"It's not some weird book, is it?" Elise knew very well that Wendy had a reading habit, and it wasn't anything serious.

She even suspected that Wendy's obsession with pleasure might stem from what she had seen.

"That's not surprising; it's a book with educational value."

"Alright, then be careful not to reveal your identity."

"Ah."

Wendy nodded, and then the changing ring on her hand flashed, and Eve changed from the priestess's robes of the Earth Goddess to a gorgeous long dress.

If Elise remembers correctly, this outfit was a reward she gave her.

However, considering that Theresa was also by her side, Elise didn't say much, but her gaze towards Wendy seemed a little strange.

Wendy ignored Elise's gaze and went straight out the door, her speed suggesting she was in a great hurry.

After Wendy left, Elise sighed helplessly, then took Theresa to the basement and directly used the ancient teleportation array to arrive at the Land of Hope.

Just as I arrived at the Land of Hope, another explosion rang out; if I'm not mistaken, it was at Flora's workshop again.

"Why don't we go take a look first?"

"it is good."

When Eliza arrived at Flora's workshop with Theresa, Flora had just removed her magical armor. Upon seeing Eliza, Flora quickly walked over, a rare blush appearing on her lovely face: "No, I'm sorry, the experiment has encountered another unexpected problem."

"There's a problem with the superposition of the magic circuits, but I've got a clue."

Just as Flora was reporting the situation to Iris, Theresa, who was standing nearby, seemed to have noticed something. She then squatted down and picked up a fragment to examine it closely.

After a while, she stood up and said calmly, "I know how to do that."

Volume 1: Chapter 419 Living Long Enough Makes You a Little Bit of Everything

"what?"

Not to mention Flora, even Iris showed a look of surprise after hearing what the other party said.

Wasn't Theresa a curse sorceress? When did she start researching magical artifacts?

Sensing the questioning looks from the two women, Theresa quietly pulled Iris's hand aside and whispered, "I haven't learned those things, but in my memory, because I've lived a little longer, I know a lot of things, and magical artifacts are one of them."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but recall that she seemed to remember some things Elise had said, which led her to study magical artifacts for a period of time.

Although it was a period of time, it was longer than most people have researched, since time was the last thing Teresa, who was immortal, lacked.

This is why she has many memories related to the research of magical artifacts in her mind.

Moreover, because she lived for a relatively long time, she knew exactly how far magical artifacts had developed in later generations, and she had even been to the ancient Seria that Iris had mentioned.

After hearing Theresa's simple explanation, Elise quickly realized what was going on.

She was curious how long Teresa had lived to be so bored as to research magical artifacts.

However, her research now provides a perfect opportunity for her to put it to use.

With that in mind, Elise asked directly, "Can you help Flora solve her current problem?"

"Yes, the technique of stacking magic circuits is already very mature in later generations."

As Theresa began to recount the events of the future, Elise felt that if she were to put a pair of glasses on Theresa, her scholarly air would instantly shine through.

Even without her glasses, Teresa still exuded a distinct scholarly air at this time.

Perhaps it was because Elise's gaze was too intense, Theresa's voice gradually softened as she spoke, and a hint of nervousness appeared in her eyes as she looked at Elise.

She wondered if there was something wrong with her story; logically, there shouldn't be any problem, right?

After all, she described it based on what she remembered.

"Don't worry about it, I just didn't expect you to know so much."

Since Theresa possesses the magical technology of later generations, does that also mean she knows quite a lot?

Elise suddenly felt like digging deeper into this matter.

As the two were talking, Flora was still not far away, watching the two whispering to each other with some curiosity. A look of curiosity flashed in her eyes as she wondered what the two were talking about.

However, before she could figure it out, Elise and Theresa had already returned to her side.

"She can help you with the question you just raised," Elise said, pointing to Theresa beside her.

Flora found it a little strange, but she didn't suspect anything. After all, Miss Elise had never lied to her before, and the person she trusted most besides her sister was Elise.

"When can we begin?"

"Ask her. It's fine as long as she has time."

Theresa had originally intended to visit her own cottage, but seeing how eager Flora seemed, she agreed instead.

Judging from the way Flora pulled Theresa into the workshop, there was absolutely no sign that she had even a trace of social anxiety.

I guess it's only at times like this that Flora would put her social anxiety aside.

But then again, she originally wanted to stroll around the Land of Hope with Theresa, but now that Theresa has been taken away, who will she find to amuse herself?

At this point, the answer is quite obvious.

Elise raised her head slightly towards the World Tree, about to call out someone's name, but before she could utter a sound, her mouth was covered.

Seeing Lily suddenly appear in front of her, Elise licked Lily's palm, and Lily very consciously let go of her hand.

"You're so filthy," Lily said, shaking her hand dismissively.

"You're a germaphobe, so you're definitely not dirty."

"How did you know?"

"Guess~"

Lily, as the chieftain of the elves, is a super beautiful girl who can be both cute and mature. Although she is not the main character, her popularity in the game has always been high, and her personality and preferences have naturally been figured out long ago.

Lily didn't think much of it. She guessed it must have been Eve or someone else who spread the rumor, since it wasn't exactly a secret anyway.

"So, what are you doing here again?"

"Of course I came to see you!"

"You clearly didn't plan to come see me in the first place."

"So you've been paying attention to me all this time! I'm so happy!"

Realizing she'd been tricked, Lily blushed slightly and said nervously, "Who, who was paying attention to you? It's just... there was an explosion over there, so of course I, as the manager, had to keep an eye on it, and that's how I saw you."

"Yes, yes, yes, then does this dignified clan leader have time to go out and have some fun with me today?"

"Where to go?"

"That depends on where you want to go. You can go to the Land of Hope, or to Seria, or even to the Principality of Cleria."

Lily pondered for a moment, then immediately said, "I want to go to the Principality of Cleria. I've never been there before."

There are many places she hasn't been to, or rather, the places she has been to can be counted on one hand. As the chieftain of the Elf race, her responsibilities do not allow her to leave at will.

But that's all in the past. She is much freer now than before. Without the World Tree's constraints, she doesn't have to worry about when the Forest of Sanctuary will break open, or that she will one day die along with the World Tree.

"Okay, let's go then."
