As for Celia and her group, they did not return to the town after killing the Blood Cultist. After all, no one knew whether the God of Death would issue a divine oracle when they saw Elise again.
To be honest, she didn't really want to fight Elise.
The main question is whether or not they can win.
She still vividly remembers the first time she met Elise, when she sacrificed all her seventh-tier undead.
"Celia, it's getting dark. Are we really not going back to town?"
Celia hesitated for a moment, then shook her head: "Forget it, let's not go back. Let's find a place to camp around here."
"Ok."
……
The next morning, before dawn, Elise was woken up.
She rubbed her eyes and staggered after Elena, muttering, "Actually, you don't have to get up so early."
"I wonder who was it that kept saying they wanted to go flower viewing last night," Elena said irritably.
Is it too late for me to regret it now?
"That's too late."
"Can you carry me across?" Elise winked at Elena.
Elena instinctively wanted to refuse this request, but the words just wouldn't come out. She sighed softly, feeling like she was completely under the thumb of that wicked woman, Elise.
Elena stopped and crouched slightly. Seeing this, Elise pounced on her without hesitation.
Although Elena looked reluctant, she had to admit that it felt pretty good to have Elise lying on her back.
How come I never noticed this before?
The little maid followed beside her, glaring angrily at Elena. She could carry her mistress on her back if she wanted to.
Elise had actually considered having the maid carry her, but looking at the maid's petite figure, even if the maid could easily carry her, Elise couldn't bear to do it.
Elena, carrying Iris on her back, whispered, "There's a sea of morning dew flowers just beyond that grove of trees. If we go now, we can see them in full bloom..."
As Elena was talking, she realized that Elise had fallen asleep on her back. Her voice gradually softened and then stopped, and a helpless smile appeared on her face.
In about half an hour, Elena walked through the grove of trees next to the town and arrived at the place she had mentioned.
However, when she arrived, she found that there were already people there, and they were even acquaintances.
Celia, who was on night watch, looked at the group of people who came out of the woods. A look of surprise flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by vigilance.
She was very curious about why those people had come here before dawn.
Elena and the little maid were also very vigilant. After seeing her sister become wary, Flora also began to build a magical barrier.
Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, Elise's languid voice suddenly rang out, as if she had just woken up, letting out a long "hmm".
Upon waking up, Iris looked at Celia, then yawned and said, "How come I keep running into you everywhere? Are you interested in me and deliberately hanging around me?"
"If you're really interested in me, just say so directly. There's no need for this roundabout way."
"You're overthinking it. I'd like to ask you why you're here."
She camped here with her companions last night to avoid running into Elise, but she never expected to run into her before dawn.
"If I said I came here to admire the flowers, would you believe me?"
"You can give a more plausible reason."
“I think this reason is quite plausible,” Elise said as she slowly walked forward.
Seeing Elise approach, Celia also warily drew her weapon. Just as she was wondering what this wicked woman was up to, morning dew flowers emerged from the snow and then bloomed.
Even Celia was somewhat dazed as she looked at Iris, who was smiling amidst the sea of flowers.
Volume 1: Chapter 386 The Beautiful Iris
"Does it look good?"
Elise's soft, gentle voice brought Celia back to her senses, and the admiration in her eyes turned into wariness when she looked at Elise.
She hadn't forgotten that the other party was a favorite of the god of love, and as a favorite of the god of death, she knew very well what kind of power the god of love possessed.
According to records, the goddess of love could even silently transform a deity into her loyal servant.
As a chosen one of Cupid, Elise certainly possesses corresponding abilities, and she certainly doesn't want to be bewitched without realizing it.
But then again, what just happened was indeed very amazing for her.
Celia didn't realize that the scene she had just witnessed was completely imprinted in her mind. She might not feel anything special now, but after she left, she might recall that beautiful scene from time to time.
The mark of pleasure flashed in Elise's eyes, but unfortunately, the other party reacted too quickly. If Celia had been in a daze for a few more seconds, the mark of pleasure would have had a more profound effect on her.
However, taking advantage of the momentary lapse in concentration the other party had just made, Iris had used the Pleasure Imprint to leave an extremely deep impression on Celia's mind.
"I already told you, I came here to admire the flowers, do you believe me now?"
Looking at the morning dew flowers blooming all over the mountains, a hint of appreciation appeared in Celia's eyes. She silently sheathed her weapon, but did not lower her guard against Iris.
Those favored by the God of Love are truly in great danger. (Spirit)
Just then, as if remembering something, she quickly observed her companions, and only after confirming that none of them had been bewitched did she silently breathe a sigh of relief.
In truth, it would have been very easy for Elise to seduce Celia's companion, but Celia valued her companion highly, and that was a sensitive topic for Celia, so Elise chose not to touch it.
Otherwise, we might see a scenario where Celia's companions launch a sneak attack on her.
Ignoring Celia, Iris went straight to the maid, who had already prepared a table and chairs, and even some snacks and tea.
Elise pointed to the empty chair and said to Celia, "Would you like to sit down and admire the flowers together?"
"No need, we should prepare to return to the Adventurers' Guild to report."
As Celia spoke, she began having her companions tidy up the campsite. 7
Because of her spatial ring, the camp was quickly cleared up, and without the slightest hesitation, she led her people away. 4
On one hand, she didn't want to trigger the prophecy of the god of death; on the other hand, she sensed that Elise was extremely dangerous, and her intuition told her it would be better to leave this woman as soon as possible.
Watching Celia and the others leave, the little maid coldly looked at them and said, "Miss, are we just going to let them go like that?"
The little maid hadn't forgotten that the adventurer named Celia had attacked her mistress before.
If the young lady hadn't told her not to act rashly, she might have already slipped into the other person's shadow.
"That's right, don't forget we don't have any seventh-tier beings with us this time. If we face her, we might not gain any advantage at all."
Furthermore, from the very beginning, Elise wanted to bring the God of Death's chosen one under her wing. She was eager to know how the God of Death would react if he knew that one of his chosen ones had been bewitched by her, the chosen one of the God of Love.
In just a short time, she had already left a deep impression on the other person, which was enough for Elise.
After Celia left, Elena asked curiously, "If I remember correctly, it shouldn't have been the time when the morning dew flowers were in full bloom yet, right?"
"Of course, there's no such coincidence. I just brought forward the blooming time of the Morning Dew Flowers a little bit."
As an impudent who stole the power of the Earth Goddess, she had already used the divine power of the earth to accelerate the blooming of the morning dew flowers as she approached Celia, thus creating that stunning scene.
Seeing the joyful smile on Elise's face, Elena couldn't help but think of Rumia. Rumia must have been schemed against little by little in the same way back then, right?
While Elena was lost in thought, Elise had already sat down again, quietly appreciating the beautiful scenery before her.
Unfortunately, this beautiful scene was cut short as the first rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds, and the blooming morning dew flowers began to wither, turning back into weeds.
Elise slowly stood up and said, "We've finished watching, let's go back."
"We've seen everything we needed to see. Shall we head straight back to Seria?" Elena asked softly.
"Since you're already here, and you've come all this way to visit your hometown, aren't you planning to stay a few more days?"
Elena shook her head: "There's nothing here that I can remember anymore."
If it weren't for Elise's desire to see the morning dew flowers blooming in her hometown, she might never have thought of returning.
Now that their goal has been achieved, they should leave.
When Elise left, she had Sally come to pick them up. Although traveling to the nearby main city by magic train was fast, it was still not as convenient and quick as teleportation.
Back at the manor, Sally was about to go back to sleep when she received a message from Nora.
The message was simple: Nora's business was finished, and she needed to go pick her up.
After receiving the message, Sally quickly turned around and returned to Elise's side.
Seeing Sally return, Elise asked curiously, "What happened?"
"Nora asked me to pick her up, so I went ahead."
"Yes, the boundless desert is extremely dangerous, so please be careful."
"With insects as a location marker, there shouldn't be any problems."
Although she was reluctant to admit it, having the bugs as a location made her long-distance teleportation much easier. She no longer needed to calculate the landing point; she could teleport to her destination accurately simply by using the bugs' location.
"Then it's hard work for you."
As Sally's figure disappeared from everyone's sight, Elise began to look forward to what gift Nora would bring her back this time.
More than half an hour later, Sally returned to the manor with a travel-worn Nora.
The distance from there to the boundless desert was quite far, and even Sally had expended a lot of magic power. It took her some time to recover her magic power, which is why it took her more than half an hour.
Nora, seeing Elise again, beamed with joy: "I'm back!"
Volume 1: Chapter 387 Having me to protect you is enough
"I saw it. You look much darker than I have in a while."
Seeing Nora lift her cloak, Elise couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Although she had gotten quite tanned, it also gave Nora a wild beauty.
"There's nothing we can do; the sun in the endless desert is just too scorching," Nora said with a hint of helplessness.
At first, she was concerned about not getting a tan and covered herself up completely. But later, in order to track down the whale monster, she didn't care about that anymore and stopped paying attention to it.
Nora made no attempt to stand on ceremony, sitting down next to Elise and pouring the contents of Elise's cup into her own mouth.
After finishing all the tea in Elise's cup, she began to recount her experiences along the way.
Many people in the manor were quite interested in this, and even Theresa came over to join in the fun.
When Theresa heard about her experiences in the boundless desert, some related memories surfaced in her mind. She seemed to have been there before, and she remembered that there was an extremely large monster in the boundless desert, as big as a whale.
That whale monster must have lived for a very long time. There was an ancient ruin on its back, and I wonder how the people of that time built those things on it.
If she remembered correctly, the ruins were fraught with danger, and Nora shouldn't have been able to handle them.
But she managed to get inside and even took a weapon that had been kept deep within the ruins.
Everyone was very curious about the Valkyrie Blade, and Nora didn't keep them in suspense. She took out a slender knife directly from her spatial ring.
The moment this knife appeared, the air was filled with the stench of blood. Staring at it for too long could even give you a vague illusion of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Nora clearly knew that the knife wasn't suitable for prolonged display, so she quickly put it away again, saying, "That's roughly what I said, although I omitted a lot in the middle, but I don't know how else to put it."
Just then, Nora seemed to sense something and turned her gaze to a pretty brown-haired girl.
She looked at the other person with some doubt. If she remembered correctly, this was the first time she had seen this girl at Elise's manor.
Noticing Nora's gaze, everyone realized something was wrong. When did a stranger appear in the manor?
Noticing the gazes of the crowd, the pretty brown-haired girl didn't care. She simply looked at them and said calmly, "I am Sera."
Upon hearing Sera's words, everyone suddenly realized that this was Sera's true nature.
I always saw her with Elise's face, so I thought she actually looked exactly like Elise.
However, this time the other party did not emphasize that she was Elise, but instead said that she was Sera. Could it be that she has recovered?
Elise knew about Sera's condition. Although she seemed to have returned to normal now, she estimated that it would only last about an hour before she would revert to her crazy self.
When did you regain consciousness?
"Just now." After returning from the Land of Hope, she found everyone here, so she came over to join in the fun.
After a while, I regained my senses.
"Sera's name sounds so familiar." Nora fell into a reverie after hearing Sera's name, trying to remember where she had heard it before.
“She is the savior who disappeared from the Eternal Church; you should have heard of her before,” Elise explained.
After hearing what Elise said, Nora finally realized that the other party was the one who had directly leveled the Holy Mountain of the Eternal Church.
