After a while, Nora realized that Elise had woken up, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous: "When did you wake up?"
"Just as you reached out to touch my cheek," Elise said calmly.
"Who was going to touch you? I was just about to wake you up, but you were sleeping so soundly that I couldn't bring myself to do it," Nora subconsciously offered herself an excuse.
This is unlike her usual style. She usually says whatever comes to mind, and she generally doesn't do anything that would make her feel guilty.
"Whatever you say goes. Even though I told you yesterday that we're leaving today, you don't have to come here so early in the morning to disturb my sleep."
Elise adjusted herself to a more comfortable position, moved closer to the edge of the bed, buried her face in Nora's arms, took a deep breath, and her voice became somewhat muffled: "How are you going to make it up to me?"
Looking at Elise, who had snuggled into her arms, Nora was momentarily at a loss, her hands frozen in mid-air.
Seeing her blank expression, Elise's lips curled into a pleasant smile. It seemed that this blockhead wasn't so wooden after all.
"Whatever compensation you want, is that alright?"
"Are you sure you'll do anything?" Elise's voice sounded somewhat meaningful.
Hearing this, Nora was a little uncertain again. After all, she knew very well that Elise liked to push her luck, and if she were to make any demands, no one knew what Elise would ask her to do.
But the words had already been spoken, and she felt that Elise might go too far, but probably not that far.
Thinking of this, Nora gritted her teeth and replied directly, "Anything is fine, but it has to be something I can do."
"In that case, you'll be my personal maid for a while until Misha comes back," Iris said, stating the condition she had already planned.
She had been planning to have Nora become her personal maid, and had even figured out how to get Nora to willingly jump into the trap she had dug. But before she could do anything, Nora jumped into the trap herself.
It's kind of cute that it's so wooden.
"A personal maid? I'm not quite sure what a personal maid is supposed to do, and I might not do things to your satisfaction. Is that okay?"
“Of course, I didn’t expect you to be as good as Michael.” Elise said, taking out a small booklet and handing it to Nora. It was a personal maid’s code written by the little maid.
Nora curiously turned to the first page, where the sentence read, "The young lady is everything."
"You go ahead and study hard, I'm going to wash up now."
Now that she couldn't sleep even if she wanted to, Elise simply got out of bed and went into the bathroom, leaving Nora alone there silently flipping through the booklet.
She only glanced at it briefly and already felt a headache coming on. Did this personal maid really need to do so much?
She was not used to being waited on, so she refused the offers her family made for her.
When Elise came out of the bathroom, she found Nora sitting there scratching her head. Elise guessed that Nora was probably frightened by the manual prepared by the maid.
Not to mention Nora, even Elise was startled when she first saw the booklet.
As if she had thought of something important, Elise walked towards Nora again, and then took out a maid outfit similar to Misha's from her spatial ring and handed it to her: "As a personal maid, you should act like a personal maid. You understand what I mean?"
"what?"
……
Nora tugged at her light maid outfit, feeling that there were too many unnecessary decorations, and the skirt was really restricting her movements. She wondered how Misha usually managed to overcome this when fighting.
Nora felt that she should ask the maid for advice when she returned.
No, once the little maid returns, I won't need to be that wicked woman Elise's personal maid anymore, so there's no need to ask her for advice.
Nora, preoccupied with choosing her clothes, completely overlooked one problem.
Why does Elise have a maid outfit that fits her figure?
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Elise's voice came in: "Have you changed your clothes yet? We're about to leave."
"I'm coming."
Although she wasn't used to it yet, she figured it would be fine once she got used to it a little. Nora didn't dwell on it any longer and simply pushed open the door and walked out of the room.
She followed Elise to the garden, where she could see Vanessa and Sally already there, as well as Wendy's clone.

“This outfit suits you quite well.” Sally saw Nora dressed in a maid outfit, and a flash of light appeared in her hand as a memory crystal appeared in her palm.
Seeing this, Elise said calmly, "Remember to give me a copy later."
"No problem~"
Hearing their conversation, Nora, who was involved, said irritably, "Aren't we supposed to be leaving?"
“Oh right, Miss, where are we going this time?” Although they had agreed to leave today, Elise did not tell her their destination.
Elise took out a map and pointed to a small town in the southeast of the empire. Sally looked at it carefully and found that the town was called Blackwood Town. She had never heard of this place before.
Yi Emu Mingshan Lingqi Siba L~NG M Dream
"This place produces a type of wood called blackwood, which has a unique fragrance. However, due to rampant logging, there is very little of this wood left. Only occasionally can someone find a single tree in the forest, and the town began to decline from that time onwards."
"You seem to know everything?" Nora was somewhat surprised. In such a remote place, she wouldn't have known that there was a place called Blackwood Town in the Empire unless she consulted specialized documents.
But Elise said it casually, even explaining it in great detail, as if she had been there herself.
"What are we going there for? We're not going to look for timber, are we?"
“There is indeed still timber there, and I can find it if I want, but not.”
Thinking that she would have to explain to several people in the future, Elise simply continued, "There is an ancient ruin near Blackwood Town, and what I am looking for is inside."
"Let's get this straight first, that ancient ruin has now been occupied by a group of cultists, and it's a very dangerous one at that. There are also quite a few cultists in Blackwood Town, so we can't go directly into the town. We need to find a safe location nearby as a teleportation anchor point."
Sally originally thought that Elise would find some low-level magical beasts for her to practice on at the beginning, but she didn't expect to fight against cultists right away. This is not good.
But as a working-class person, she doesn't seem to have much of a say.
But with Elise around, there shouldn't be any problems, right?
"What evil god do those cultists worship?"
"The source of the plague, so be careful."
Cultists who believe in the source of plagues are skilled at creating plagues and viruses. These viruses are not ordinary viruses; they possess extraordinary qualities, and even people like them can be infected.
Although Elise had made preparations in advance, she wouldn't have gone to such a place if it weren't for obtaining a very important item from it.
After all, the Plague Cult is quite adept at making people feel disgusted.
Fortunately, as a follower of Gluttony, she can now cover her surroundings with an invisible mouth, directly devouring the germs.
This is considered quite restrained towards the plague cultists.
And Vanessa is there too, so although it's a bit troublesome, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Composing herself, Elise gave Sally a wink.
Upon receiving the signal, Sally sighed softly, then beckoned everyone to gather around her, and the teleportation would begin immediately.
As a familiar feeling arose, by the time everyone came to their senses, they found themselves in a forest.
As soon as she landed, Elise took out more than a dozen insect eggs. She threw one at her feet and the rest into the air. The eggs burst open instantly after being thrown into the air, and butterflies flew around to explore the surroundings for Elise.
Insects are quite adept at scouting, and usually no one would pay attention to a few insects.
Elise is finding the insect's abilities increasingly useful, and she's even planning to have Wendy create an insect clone for her.
A moment later, the insect responded to Elise, saying softly, "There's no one around, we're safe for now."
"Then shall we just bypass Blackwood Town?" Since there are many cultists in Blackwood Town, going to the town is certainly dangerous.
“No, we’ll go straight in. We just need to prepare beforehand.” Elise took out several black robes and distributed them to everyone. She then used her changing ring to put on the robes herself.
"Won't it be dangerous to go to Blackwood Town?" Nora asked as she put on a black robe, though she still looked quite different from the image of a cultist.
Elise thought for a moment, then prepared another eerie mask for her, and said, "There will definitely be danger, but have you forgotten?"
Elise pointed to herself, revealing an evil smile: "I'm a cultist too, and a chosen one of the evil gods, a chosen one of the gods!" Moreover, a chosen one of the four gods.
Nora opened her mouth. Elise's usual behavior was so normal that she had forgotten that Elise was a cultist. She scratched her head and then put the mask on.
Oh well, I'll just follow Elise out here and do whatever she says. I can just throw my brain away.
Seeing that everyone was fully prepared, Elise led the group toward the town.
After walking for about half an hour, the group, having left the forest, could already see the outline of the town.
As expected of a country without an eternal church, cults are indeed rampant. As soon as she entered the town, she saw many symbols left by cultists, including those of the Shadow Church and the Hungry Cult...
“Not only has Blackwood Town been infiltrated by many cultists, but it has even become a place for cultists to conduct private transactions,” Elise said softly.
"So here, you can see not only plague cultists, but also other cultists."
The appearance of Elise and her group had already attracted the attention of the cultists, but no cultists came forward, since they did not know which god Elise worshipped.
Iris paid no attention to the gazes from the shadows. Like a cultist who frequented the area, she walked into the town and went straight to a secluded and dilapidated tavern.
Although the tavern was dilapidated, it was filled with customers, and they were not ordinary customers.
The people sitting inside are mostly cult members.
Ignoring the stares, Elise led the group straight to the counter: "I'd like a 'Night'."
The bartender glanced at the pretty young woman in front of him, then pointed to the wooden door beside him, indicating that she should go over there herself.
Elise chuckled softly, then turned and walked toward the wooden door, everything seeming so natural and casual.
Nora, who was following behind her, felt that Elise must have been here many times before.
Just then, the shadow of a Shadow Cultist suddenly disappeared, attempting to merge into the shadows of Elise and the others. However, the moment his shadow approached, it was swallowed up by the invisible maw, and the Shadow Cultist instantly collapsed and fell silent.
Elise turned to look at the fallen Shadow Cultist, a charming smile playing on her lips: "I suggest you all behave yourselves, or I wouldn't mind eating you all."
Volume 1: Chapter 220 Heartache and Excitement
"Don't you need to cover it up a bit?"
Seeing Elise brazenly turn around and threaten the cultists, Nora gently tugged at her sleeve and said.
“No, they’re seeing a different face.” Elise pointed to her eyes, a little trick she’d learned from Rumia.
Since her holy face could have such an effect, there was no way it couldn't do the same for my own mark of pleasure. I tried it and found that the effect was quite good.
If the other party can see through the disguise of the Pleasure Mark, then other disguises will be useless, so Elise simply stopped bothering with those unnecessary things.
Although she didn't know why Elise said that, seeing her confident demeanor, Nora nodded without saying anything more.
Elizabeth led the group through the wooden door and down the stairs, soon arriving at an underground hall.
This place is somewhat similar to the black market in the abandoned streets, but unlike the black market, the people here are mostly cultists. Even if they aren't, those who dare to trade with cultists are all fearless desperados.
The underground hall looked rather deserted, and the appearance of Elise and her group naturally attracted a lot of attention.
But perhaps they noticed the commotion upstairs, because one or two of them became very well-behaved.
Anyone with even a basic understanding of the Gluttony Cult knows that the beings who can easily summon the invisible mouth are either high-ranking cultists or followers of the Gluttony King, neither of whom are people they can afford to offend.
Sensing the eerie atmosphere around her, Nora's eyes filled with vigilance: "Is what you're looking for here?"
"No, I'm just here to look around and see if there's anything useful here."
The cult's marketplace is much bolder than the black market; contraband that the black market wouldn't dare sell can be easily found here.
She planned to report the place to the authorities after her first visit, so she bought what she wanted before the operation was shut down.
In addition to selling various prohibited items, there were even stalls selling sacrificial offerings. As for what those offerings were, it goes without saying.
"These cult members are truly lawless."
“After all, no matter where they are, cult members will be wiped out as soon as they are discovered. So these people are just being as unruly as they want.” Elise said, as she walked up to a stall.
The stall displayed some materials that exuded an aura of curses. These items could be used to remove some of the curses on Theresa. Although he hadn't found her yet, preparing these in advance would make it unnecessary to search for her.
These items weren't cheap, but Elise wasn't short of money. She bought the materials she needed and then browsed around briefly, checking them with the system. Unfortunately, these cultists didn't display many good items on their stalls, and Elise wasn't interested in asking about them one by one.
After confirming that there was nothing else needed, Elise led her people away through the exit.
There is only one entrance here, but there are many exits, which clearly takes into account how to escape if discovered.
Of course, Elise knew all about these exits perfectly well. She planned to wait until she finished her business and then see if there was a chance to throw these cultists into the trash as food.
If there's no other opportunity, then write a complaint letter to the Imperial authorities.
"I almost took action myself just now. Does the sacrifice of cultists necessarily require the use of humans?" U
“That’s not necessarily true. It mainly depends on what kind of evil god you worship. For example, the Gluttonous King will accept any sacrifice as long as it satisfies his appetite. But some evil gods prefer things related to humans,” Elise explained.
"Since you seem so unhappy, if we get a chance to come back after we've finished our business, we'll bring you here for a fight. I happen to be short of some offerings."
