However, unicorns have excellent stamina and can be used to pull carts, but they are relatively difficult to tame.
Elena fell asleep as soon as she got in the car. This time, besides wanting to fully grasp the situation in the Eternal City, the most important reason was that she was physically exhausted. She had been drained by Elise last night and needed to take a break.
As for Rumia, she had mixed feelings.
As a former saint of the Eternal Church, who used to live in the Eternal City, it's impossible for her to remain completely unmoved as she returns here.
But my feelings weren't that complicated.
A day passed quickly, and as night fell, Elise and her party's carriage arrived at the gates of the Eternal City.
The city walls, tens of meters high, are extremely magnificent, and there are two huge stone knight statues on either side of the city gate.
These are not ordinary stone statues, but stone knights similar to those guarding the Church of Love. However, these stone knights have around the eighth rank of strength and have virtually no weaknesses except for not being able to stray far from the Eternal City.
When the Holy Kingdom undergoes an anomaly, these stone knights will also be corrupted, making them even more troublesome.
Elise used to get a severe beating from these stone knights when she played games.
Although it was already night, the city gates were still open, and there were no guards at all; many people could be seen coming and going.
When Elise reached the city gate, she could clearly feel a strange fluctuation sweep over her.
There is a special ritual array here used to check one's background. If someone is found to be a cultist, the stone knights on either side will immediately bring down their judgment.
However, with the protection of the Eternal Mark, it was impossible for Iris's composition to be detected.
Even if the truth comes out, she will only be a faithful follower of the Eternal God.
Volume 1: Chapter 364 Not Interested
"Is this the Eternal City?"
The little maid, upon entering the Eternal City, curiously looked around, but soon her curiosity turned into confusion.
Even though this is my first time here, why do I feel a sense of familiarity? It's as if I've been here before.
Just then, Elena frowned slightly and whispered, "I feel like something's not right here."
Although nothing seemed out of the ordinary, upon entering this place, she felt a deep reverence for the eternal god.
The feeling was especially strong when looking at the colossal statue in the center of the Eternal City.
"This is the headquarters of the Eternal Church after all, how could there not be something fishy going on here?" Elise said calmly, but she didn't seem to care.
The Eternal City does indeed have some kind of ritual array that can subtly transform people into believers of the Eternal God, but it has virtually no effect on these people.
However, if the Eternal God personally blessed that ritual array, the effect would be different.
She had experienced this in the game, where her faith was completely changed after just one visit.
As the former saintess, Rumia used to live in the Eternal City. At that time, she didn't feel anything, but now that she has returned here, she also feels that faint spiritual suggestion.
She really didn't expect that there would be such a shady deal in the Eternal City. No wonder it was rated as the most suitable city to live in.
"Alright, let's find a place to stay first," Elise said, leading everyone to the largest hotel in the Eternal City.
This kind of place is definitely not cheap, but it's nothing to Elise.
Watching Elise skillfully communicate with the shop assistants at the front desk, Lumia couldn't help but twitch her lips. Had Elise really never been to the Holy City before?
She glanced at Elena and the maid, and noticed that neither of them seemed surprised at all by Elise's reaction.
"What's wrong?" Feeling Rumia's gaze, Elena asked curiously.
"I'm just a little curious. Master clearly said she'd never been here before, so why does she seem so familiar with this place? Aren't you curious too?"
“There’s nothing to be curious about.” Elena possessed memories of her past life and had already guessed that Elise could be reborn multiple times, so of course she wouldn’t be curious.
As for the little maid, in her eyes, her mistress is an omnipotent being. Even if one day Elise becomes an evil god, she will not hesitate to throw herself into it and become Elise's most fanatical believer.
Before long, Elise had received the room key and, led by a waiter, went upstairs to her room.
This is also a suite, with enough rooms for all of them.
Elise sat lazily on the sofa; a carriage was certainly not as comfortable as this.
The little maid started making tea for Iris herself, and even Rumia went behind Iris to help massage her shoulders.
Seeing this, Elena couldn't help but twitch her lips. Every time she saw this scene, she always felt that Elise was on vacation.
This is the headquarters of the Eternal Church. Is it really okay to be so relaxed here?
"Um, what are your plans for tonight?"
"Nothing tonight, everyone get some rest."
"Then I'm going to eat something and go to sleep."
"Speaking of which, there are quite a lot of delicious foods in the Eternal City. I'll take you out for a stroll later~"
Hearing Iris's words, Rumia said with a hint of resentment, "Shouldn't I be the one saying that?"
“You shouldn’t worry about these things at a time like this. Besides, if we’re talking about familiarity, you’re definitely not as familiar as I am,” Elise said confidently.
You have to understand that when she was playing the game, she had already explored every inch of this place. Not to mention the local delicacies, she even knew where the black market in the Eternal City was.
This is the Eternal City, after all; a black market existing here isn't something you can just find anywhere. (Azure)
After a short rest, Elise led her people out of the hotel.
Rumia was initially somewhat unconvinced, after all, she had grown up in this city, and although she spent most of her time in the church, she would often wander around the Eternal City.
But she soon discovered that she didn't seem to know the area as well as Elise; Elise could even find some shops hidden in the alleyways.
Even when Elise was passing by a certain street, she told them about a local brothel, saying that the staff there would dress up as nuns, and then...
Rumia blushed upon hearing those descriptions, and even began to wonder if she should change her maid outfit into a nun's habit; perhaps it would have some surprising effect on Iris.
After leaving that secluded street, Elena asked curiously, "How did you know about that kind of place? Have you been there before?"
"How could that be? I'm not interested in places like that."
Although that's what I say, when I first started playing the game, I would always try to experience the local customs in depth whenever I visited the Holy City. (Seven)
Elise began to miss her pre-transmigration days, when she would spend her time writing, playing games, and occasionally going shopping with her best friends.
She didn't even know when was the last time she reminisced about things before she time-traveled.
The maid, whose attention was entirely focused on Elise, immediately noticed the fleeting sadness in her mistress's eyes.
She carefully took her mistress's hand and asked softly, "Miss, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just miss life at the manor."
"Then after Miss finishes dealing with her business, we'll go back and get some rest." (Zero)
"Okay."5
Although the conversation between the two seemed like setting up a flag, Elise had been through so many near-death experiences that she had long since become indifferent to such things and didn't care.
By the time Elizabeth and her companions returned to the hotel, it was already around 10 p.m.
With the help of her maid, Elise took a comfortable bath and then lay down on the bed.
Looking at the little maid lying beside her, a look of pleasure appeared in Elise's eyes.
"Xiaomi, go to sleep early."
The maid, who had been quite energetic, was instantly overcome by weariness after hearing her mistress's words.
Looking at the sleeping maid, Elise smiled faintly, then reached out and ruffled her hair before slowly sitting up.
The moment Elise got out of bed, her pajamas had transformed into a long, black dress.
It's time to go find Sera.
Volume 1: Chapter 365 You are the real Sera!
“This should be the right place.”
Elise looked at the mansion in front of her. This was one of the most expensive places in the Eternal City. She never expected that Sera would come here.
At this moment, Elise could clearly sense that Sera was inside the house.
Logically speaking, since she was already standing here, Sera should have sensed her, but surprisingly, she didn't react at all.
Of course, she couldn't just stand there blankly. After hesitating for a moment, Elise gently floated up to the second-floor balcony.
Just as Elise landed and was about to take a closer look, she sensed extreme danger.
With a flash of cold light, a sword instantly appeared at Elise's chest, but just as the sword was about to pierce her heart, it suddenly stopped.
A questioning voice came from inside the room.
Before Elise could react, she was already being pulled into the room by a powerful suction force.
With her night vision, Elise could clearly see that Sera, who had transformed into her appearance, was sitting on the bed in the room, looking at her with a surprised expression.
"Who are you? Why do you look just like me?" Not only did she resemble her, but her voice and tone of voice were exactly the same as Elise's, giving Elise a strange sense of déjà vu, as if she were looking in a mirror.
“I am Elise,” Elise said calmly, looking at Sera.
She had thought that the other person would be confused after hearing her words, but to her surprise, the other person remained very calm and even sighed, saying perfunctorily, "Yes, yes, you are Elise. So tell me what you want by coming to see me in the middle of the night?"
At this point, Sera seemed to have thought of something, and her gaze towards Elise suddenly turned somewhat dangerous: "Speaking of which, lately I've always felt like someone is watching me. Could that person be you?"
"of course not."
Iris, sensing that something was wrong with the other person, was certainly not going to be foolish enough to admit that she had been spying on them all along.
"Really not? Why do I smell a lie in your mouth?"
"I don't remember Elise having such an ability."
"Oh right, I don't think I have that ability." Sera nodded in sudden realization.
Seeing the other person's performance, Elise couldn't help but twitch her lips. She had thought that Sera's condition would be bad, but she didn't expect it to be this bad. Even after seeing her, she couldn't come to her senses?
Just as she was thinking about what to do, Sera's voice rang out again: "Alright, I don't have time to waste on you anymore. She said that staying up too late is bad for your skin. Quickly tell me your identity, and maybe I can let you die without pain."
At this moment, Elise clearly sensed the killing intent emanating from the other party, but this time Elise did not continue to play along and instead walked directly towards Sera.
Even when faced with the chilling killing intent, Elise showed no fear whatsoever.
Facing Elise approaching her, Sera's eyes were icy, and her world-destroying power instantly condensed into a longsword, which would kill anyone who touched it.
Just as the longsword, forged from the power to destroy the world, was about to pierce Elise, Sera suddenly pressed her left hand against her right hand, which was holding the sword, and a look of pain appeared on her face.
"No, this isn't right!"
"Elise, have you come to find me?" A morbid smile suddenly appeared on Sera's face as she reached out to embrace Elise, but she quickly became manic again: "You are not Elise, I am Elise!"
Seeing that Sera was acting strangely, Elise had just taken out the Silent Barrier Generator when Sera pulled her over.
Elise, who was pinned to the bed by her opponent, showed no panic. She was just curious about Sera's current state, looking at his conflicted expression.
Just as she was wondering, Sera looked at Elise and said, "I remember now, I remember now! You're not Elise, you're Sera!"
"what?"
How come Elise didn't know she had become Sera? This Sera is seriously ill!
"Um, I think I should be Elise."
"If you are Elise, then who am I?"
“Sera,” Elise called out softly.
Upon hearing that familiar tone and voice, Sera's previously somewhat frantic expression suddenly froze, and countless fragments of memories flashed through her mind.
She didn't know how much time had passed before Sera's gaze gradually cleared. She lowered her head, looked at Elise, whom she had pinned to the bed, and a faint smile appeared on her lips: "Long time no see, Elise."
"Long time no see." Elise looked at Sera, who had suddenly returned to normal, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that her call had some effect after all.
She had considered using charm to bring the other party to her senses, but Sera was very resistant to charm, and her current strength was simply insufficient to affect Sera.
Fortunately, although the charm didn't work, the other party finally came to their senses.
Just as Elise was about to say something, Sera spoke up first: "You really enjoy playing role-reversal games that much? But that's okay, I'm happy to play with you if you like~"
~£`¢≌△≌♀{∫蒐”'索�qUN: The smile that Elise had managed to squeeze out was now frozen on her face.
This isn't right. According to her plan, if she appeared in front of Sera, Sera should be awakened quickly. Even if she couldn't be fully awake, she should be able to sense who she was!
Why, why did things turn out like this?!
"It's been so long since I've seen you make that face, hehe~"
