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

Sensing her mistress's gaze, the maid instinctively wanted to refuse, but stammered for a long time without actually saying it.

Because this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Just thinking about sleeping with her mistress like that made the little maid's heart pound uncontrollably.

As the young lady's personal maid, she shouldn't be thinking about such things, but at this moment, the little maid couldn't control her thoughts and they started to drift in strange directions.

Seeing that the maid was clearly already interested, Elise's lips curled up slightly. Then she climbed into bed, snuggled under the covers, and looked at the maid with a lazy gaze.

Under Iris's watchful gaze, the little maid stopped being coy. After all, it was her mistress who told her to do it, and as her personal maid, she could only do the right thing by listening to her mistress!

Thinking of this, the little maid quickly changed her clothes and crawled into bed.

Although the maid helps her mistress bathe every day, this is the first time she has experienced this situation, especially when the two of them are close together, the maid can hardly stay calm.

However, just as the young lady said, this way of sleeping does feel a little bit more comfortable than sleeping in clothes.

Elise had been wondering if the little maid would do something while she was asleep.

Who knew that while she was pretending, she actually fell asleep.

When she woke up the next day, she found that the little maid was sleeping even more soundly than she was.

Looking at the sleeping maid, Elise sighed helplessly. It seemed that it would take some time to change her deeply ingrained ideas.

However, Elise refused to believe that she really couldn't seduce the little maid.

The main reason is that Elise never used her charm on the maid; otherwise, the maid would have been taken in by her long ago.

Just as Elise was getting up, the little maid seemed to sense something and opened her eyes as well.

The maid, who had just woken up, was still a little dazed and looked like she hadn't fully woken up yet. However, she soon felt that something was wrong with the touch of her body and then realized the state of her and her mistress.

A faint blush appeared on the little maid's fair cheeks at a visible speed, making her even more adorable, and even giving Iris the urge to tease her a little.

However, Elise still couldn't bear to part with it.

"Aren't you getting up?"

Elise's words successfully reminded the little maid, who quickly got up. With a flash of light from the changing ring, the maid outfit was instantly put on the little maid.

Although a faint blush remained on the little maid's face, she looked as capable as ever again.

In the morning, after breakfast, Elise led her people away from Farah and headed towards the Eternal City.

In the territory of the Eternal God, Elise dared not be as presumptuous as before. The construction of the insect nest was carried out in great secrecy, and the depth of the insect nest construction was also extremely deep.

However, given enough time for development, the Insect Network will eventually be deployed throughout the Holy Kingdom.

Inside the carriage, Rumia asked Iris with some concern, "Master, are we really going straight to the Eternal City?"

"Any questions?"

"If I go directly to the Eternal City, I'm afraid I'll be discovered."

"Don't worry, of course we can't let you go in with us. We need to go somewhere before we head to the Eternal City."

"Where?" A look of curiosity flashed in Rumia's eyes.

“A refuge,” Elise said calmly.

Upon hearing the word "shelter," a flicker of excitement flashed in Rumia's eyes. She wondered if the shelter Elise mentioned was related to the one she had been searching for.

Because Rumia made no attempt to hide her thoughts, Iris immediately saw through her and nodded, saying, "That's right, just as you thought."

"Are there such shelters within the Holy Kingdom's borders? Why hasn't anyone discovered them yet?"

"You'll see when the time comes; it'll only be a few days anyway." (A search term follows, seemingly unrelated to the previous sentence.)

The shelter is located in a rather remote area, requiring a detour to reach it, but for Elise right now, that extra time isn't an issue.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye, and Elise and her companions arrived at a small town in the western part of the Holy Kingdom. 9

Despite its remote location, devout believers can still be seen everywhere here. 9

Logically, someone as suspicious as Elise appearing in such a place should have been reported immediately. However, the moment they saw Elise, they were already captivated by her.

Just to be on the safe side, Elise bewitched everyone in the town.

Feeling the fanatical gazes directed at Elise from the surrounding residents, Elena couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure what you're doing is okay?"

"It's okay, you're here anyway~"

“That’s not what I’m asking!” Elena said irritably. 6

She sensed that the townspeople, after being bewitched, seemed to have transferred their fanatical faith in the eternal god to Elise. 8

"Don't worry, the Eternal God isn't like those other gods with few followers. He won't care about the loss of a little faith, and besides, I didn't ask these people to change their beliefs."

This is the territory of the Eternal God, and even though it is in a remote place, Elise will not be too presumptuous.

"That's good."

"Is the refuge that Master mentioned nearby?" Although she didn't know the location of the refuge, she seemed to sense that something nearby was calling her there.

Elise placed her hand on Rumia's face and pinched it, then said, "Wake up."

Reminded by Iris, Rumia quickly regained her senses. She frowned slightly and asked in a low voice, "Master, I feel like something is calling me to a place."

Do you ever feel this way?

Although she didn't get along well with Rumia, the little maid carefully sensed her and then shook her head at her.

Elena didn't feel anything special either.

"This feeling is directed at you. We are not believers in the eternal God, so it's impossible for us to have any connection with him."

"Then, who exactly is calling me?"

"The Eternal God".

"what?"

Volume 1: Chapter 356 You Were Originally Mine

"Should we run away then?"

Elena looked around, and after hearing Elise mention the Eternal God, she felt that nothing was right.

Not to mention Elena, even Lumia, the former saintess, was sweating profusely.

If the Eternal God were to discover this, they would probably be wiped out without a trace.

“I know you’re in a hurry, but don’t rush. Although I’m talking about the Eternal God, I’m not the Eternal God.”

"So, what exactly do you mean by that?"

"Simply put, the eternal god here is a slice of Him before He was corrupted, or a fragment of His soul."

In a game, such information would typically lead to clues later in the game, requiring a complex chain of quests to find this place. However, Elise, being a game player, skipped many steps and brought the player here directly.

"Even so, it still feels extremely dangerous." The little maid gently tugged at Iris's sleeve. She could disregard everything else, but she couldn't disregard her mistress's safety.

Elise ruffled the little maid's hair and said, "Don't worry, the Eternal God before he was corrupted was still quite good. He was a being who only thought about saving the world, even if it was a fragment of him."

If Elise hadn't known all this, she wouldn't have brought them to a place like this; she has no penchant for courting death.

Seeing that Iris had already said so, everyone who was originally preparing to run away was relieved a little. Rumia even closed her eyes and carefully sensed it. Although she could feel His call to her, she could not find where the other party was, and she could not even sense the direction.

Unable to find any clues, she could only look to Elise.

“His location is very special. We’ve been traveling a long way and are tired. Let’s rest for a day first.”

"Then I'll make the arrangements."

"No need, someone will arrange it for us."

As Elise finished speaking, the town's mayor approached her respectfully and said, "Lady Elise, your lodgings have been prepared. Please follow me."

Now that she had already bewitched everyone in the town, Elise certainly wouldn't let her little maid run around doing chores.

The accommodation arranged by the mayor was his mansion, which was also the largest and best house in the town, like a small estate.

After the group entered the mansion and rested for a while, the sky gradually darkened as time passed.

Just as Iris was pondering her next move in her room, Rumia came looking for her.

Seeing that she seemed hesitant to speak, Elise smiled and said, "Just say what you want to say."

"I want to know, what are the consequences of faith being corrupted?"

"The consequence is nothing more than turning into a mindless monster."

In the game, the Holy Kingdom will undergo changes in the mid-to-late game. In the later stages, it will completely fall due to the issue of faith. Most of the Holy Kingdom's believers will be transformed into mindless monsters, and the Holy Kingdom will become a living hell.

If you choose Rumia as the protagonist, and you still haven't resolved the issues caused by faith by the late game, the game will take a huge turn. Rumia, as the protagonist, will transform into the Witch of Despair, and the main quest will change from saving the world to destroying it.

If Rumia is not the protagonist, then the player-controlled protagonist will encounter Rumia, who has transformed into the Witch of Despair, after entering the Eternal City.

Rumia, the Witch of Despair, is one of the most formidable bosses in the game, and defeating her is extremely difficult.

"If my problem isn't resolved, then before I turn into a mindless monster, I hope Master will kill me," Rumia said earnestly to Iris.

"Don't worry, didn't you hear how relaxed I sounded? That means your problem is easy to solve, at least for now."

The main reason is that Rumia was bewitched by her, which weakened her faith in the Eternal God. In addition, given her understanding of this world, solving her problem is not difficult. Even if this operation fails, she can eventually make Rumia switch her faith to her, and then she can use the authority of the Earth Goddess to protect her.

Upon hearing Iris's words, a hint of emotion flashed in Rumia's eyes, but it quickly turned into burning desire.

"My master has gone to so much trouble to help me, I don't know how to thank him enough. Maybe I should just give everything I have to him~"

"Everything you have is mine. You want to give me back what's mine?"

"That's true, how about I give Master a foot massage?"

"I think you don't want to thank me, but rather reward yourself."

Despite saying that, Elise didn't stand on ceremony and began to enjoy Rumia's services.

……

Late at night, Elise lay in bed and slowly closed her eyes.

She had originally planned to use the power of the Earth Goddess to respond to her believers before going to sleep, but at this moment, for some reason, she suddenly felt very sleepy.

Although she sensed something was wrong, Elise fell into a deep sleep before she could even put up a fight.

Just as Elise fell into a deep sleep, she opened her eyes in another place.

When Elise opened her eyes, she found herself in a church.

Before Elise could take a good look around, a gentle voice came from beside her: "You're awake."

Upon hearing the voice, Elise realized that a holy nun was sitting next to her, with a gentle smile on her face that made people feel close to her.

Upon seeing the nun, Elise couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Although her appearance differed somewhat from her impression, everything she displayed clearly indicated her identity.

The Eternal God, or rather, a slice of the Eternal God, a part of His soul.

"I never expected to be summoned by you, it is truly an honor." Elise looked at the nun beside her, without much wariness.

After all, even if it were a fragment of Him, killing her would be an easy task, and no amount of vigilance would help. Moreover, based on Elise's experience, this person would not have any ill intentions towards her.

Whether she sensed Elise's thoughts or not, the nun revealed a pure smile: "That's not necessarily true. Maybe I have a grudge against Elise? As Her successor, it's not unusual for me to nip you in the bud, is it?"

"If that were the case, I should already be in eternal silence by now."

"So, what brings you, an eternal and immortal being, to me?"

Volume 1: Chapter 357 The Familiar Church

"I just sensed traces of an old friend, so I wanted to see you."

The nun turned her head, her pale golden eyes looking at Elise, a faint smile in her clear eyes: "You are more interesting than I imagined."

Elise twitched the corner of her mouth. She had only just met the other person, so how did he find her interesting?

"Because I see that so many old friends care about you."

"You could have just said the ingredients were too complicated; there was no need to be so subtle." Elise knew she was being rather absurd.

The nun, an avatar of the Eternal God, chuckled softly. At that moment, it seemed as if the light around her dimmed because of her smile, and even Elise felt bewitched.

No, she was bewitched; it was the effect of her holy face.

“Just say what you want to say, don’t try to seduce me.” As Elise spoke, a look of pleasure unconsciously appeared in her eyes, helping her resist the nun’s allure.

"Sorry, sorry, I just haven't chatted with anyone in a long time, so I couldn't control myself."

The Eternal God certainly didn't do it on purpose. If He did, Elise wouldn't have been able to resist or even realize that she had been converted into a loyal follower of the Eternal God.
