Elise frowned slightly. Leveling a mountain wouldn't be difficult; all it would take is a strength of Rank 7 or higher. However, the Holy Mountain is an important stronghold for the Eternal Church to cultivate believers, and it contains beings of Rank 8.
They just vanished like that. What exactly happened on the Holy Mountain?
Could it be that Sera awakened her memories? But even if she awakened her memories of her past life, it would still take time for the hero who saves the world to grow. It's impossible for her to gain power beyond the eighth rank as soon as she becomes a hero.
Unless... it's the reincarnation of Sera from a previous life, but that's simply impossible.
"Do you have any information about the hero?" Elise asked softly.
"No, but it seems that the church has mobilized a lot of people to search for the missing hero. Even people from the empire and the kingdom have been mobilized. This shows that the disappearance of the Holy Mountain must be related to the hero."
As a former saint of the Eternal Church, Lumia had never seen such a large-scale personnel relocation within the church.
At this moment, Lumia was quite fortunate. If she were still a saintess of the Eternal Church, she might have gone to the Holy Mountain to watch.
After all, a savior hadn't appeared for hundreds of years, so she was quite curious.
If she had actually gone to the holy mountain, her name would now be on the list of missing persons.
Although they are said to have disappeared, the sacred mountain was razed to the ground, so it's easy to guess what became of those who disappeared.
"What's happening at the church won't affect us much. Just keep an eye on the follow-up intelligence, and be careful not to get discovered."
Just when time had faded the memory of the saintess's disappearance, the savior hero has vanished as well. It looks like things are about to get lively again in all the places.
“Okay,” Lumia replied softly.
Seeing that Rumia seemed hesitant to speak, Iris casually said, "Just say what you want to say."
"Actually, I'm quite curious about the succession ceremony of the hero. According to the church's records, no matter who you are, as long as you become the hero who saves the world, you will definitely fulfill the duty of saving the world. Is that true?"
"Silly child, of course it's fake." Iris looked at Rumia with eyes full of love: "Do you know what's most important for a hero who saves the world?"
"Holy Sword?"
"That's right. Although it's called the Holy Sword, I'd rather call it the Demon Sword because it contains the spiritual imprints of heroes from all over the world. The right people to use the Holy Sword are, to put it bluntly, people with exceptionally strong spirits, or even extraordinary talents. Only they can withstand the massive amount of spiritual imprints within the Holy Sword."
"Even so, the wielder of the Holy Sword will gradually be branded and assimilated, eventually becoming the so-called savior hero, which is a sharp sword in the hands of the Eternal Church."
Elise had previously tried to pull out the Holy Sword and become a savior, and she did succeed, but not long after, she went mad and didn't even know how she died before being reborn in a daze.
As for Sera, she is indeed exceptionally gifted in the realm of the mind, after all, she is the protagonist.
However, even as the protagonist, she was still inevitably assimilated by the Holy Sword, and even with Elise's assistance, the assimilation could only be slowed down at most.
In the end, Elise had no choice but to sacrifice everything of her own, becoming an anchor point imprinted deep within Sera's soul.
After all, Sera was already mentally unstable at the time and could attack her at any moment. It was better to take matters into her own hands than to be killed.
Qi Qi (Six)
She had died and come back to life so many times back then, and the mental imprint left behind should have some influence on the Holy Sword.
I don't know how effective it was, but after she sacrificed everything she had, she was dead beyond any doubt, and she didn't know what happened after that.
However, judging from the fact that the sacred mountain was razed to the ground, the anchor points they left behind were still somewhat useful.
"I feel like you know more about the Church than I do, a former saintess," Lumia muttered under her breath.
“After all, the Holy Maiden is not in the core circle, so it’s normal that you don’t have access to some information,” Elise said calmly.
As a player, Elise felt like she was coming home when she went to the Eternal Church. She knew all the secrets and information. She used to be so sure of that, but now she's a little unsure.
Another eight I walked around the flag Lingmeng
After all, even characters from scrapped proposals have appeared; who knows what other information the Eternal Church might be hiding that she doesn't know about?
After breakfast, Elise went straight to Vivian's place. At this time, Vivian wouldn't be out yet, even if she had something to do.
I can tell her about what happened at the Eternal Church and ask her if there have been any results regarding the information I asked her about before.
Vivian's head maid greeted Iris. Vivian had instructed that if it was Iris, they should let her in without asking any questions.
A short while later, Elise arrived at Vivian's room.
The maid in the maid's outfit bowed respectfully to Iris and then turned to leave. Iris knocked on the door and entered the room the instant Vivian's voice rang out.
Vivian, sitting in her wheelchair, turned to look at Elise and asked casually, "What do you want?"
"Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong?" Elise didn't try to change her expression in front of Vivian, because it wouldn't have any effect.
"Do as you please, I'm not restricting your freedom."
Elise smiled slightly, then walked behind Vivian and said softly, "I came here today because there's something I want to tell you."
"About the Holy Mountain?"
"It seems you already know."
"The sudden disappearance of the Holy Mountain is such a big deal that anyone with an intelligence network would know about it, but I don't know the specifics yet."
"The situation in the Holy Kingdom doesn't have much of an impact. I came here to ask how the information I asked you about is coming along?"
“I haven’t received any information about Theresa yet, but I have found out some information about that person named Elaira. Before I tell you the information, you should think about how you want to thank me.” Vivian adjusted the direction of her wheelchair and waited quietly for Elise’s reply.
Volume 1: Chapter 202 Vivian's Special Awakening Method
"Here, take this. You'll definitely find it useful later."
Elise took out the Blessing of the Earth Goddess from her spatial ring. It was the staff she had obtained in the ancient city ruins. When she held this staff, she could use some of the earth god's power and improve the soil.
This will definitely come in handy for Vivian, who wants to break away from the empire.
After hearing Elise's description of the staff, Vivian couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "I already have you, what do I need this for?"
Elise's smug expression froze on her face. Yes, she was now a favorite of the Earth Goddess, and she had a group of followers of the Earth Goddess under her command. If she transferred them all over, she wouldn't need this staff at all.
Elise scratched her head, then put the staff away. She decided to keep it for herself, since it could amplify earth magic.
Although she doesn't usually use earth magic in combat.
"How about I cook you a meal? I promised to cook you something delicious last time, and I happen to have some time now. I just don't know if you have time."
"Have."
Vivian's simple response conveyed her attitude, and Elise chuckled softly, "But there's still some time before noon, so how about we do something to kill some time?"
“Okay.” Vivian even took the initiative to reach out and wrap her arms around Iris’s neck, but the next second, the anti-magic collar had already appeared around her neck.
Although she had noticed Vivian's move the moment she made it, sometimes it's better to pretend you don't know.
"Do you really like taking the initiative that much?" Elise looked at Vivian, who was so close to her. Although she had lost her magic, she still had other powers she could use.
“You should know that I’ve never really liked being passive.” Vivian finished speaking and kissed Iris directly.
Of course, she didn't forget to activate the Silence Barrier.
During this in-depth conversation with Elise, Vivian, just like before, remembered some things again.
She remembered that Elise had infiltrated the enemy camp and disregarded the confidentiality agreement to reveal extremely important information to her. Then she saw Elise collapse to the ground.
Vivian felt flustered and even somewhat at a loss at that moment.
This was something that had basically never happened to her since she was raised as the heir to the empire.
Elise's soul was severely damaged at the time. She was in a vegetative state for three months before waking up and remained bedridden for more than half a year before barely regaining her mobility.
However, due to the damage to his soul, his strength not only regressed by one level, but he was also unable to make any further progress.
Even so, I still kept telling myself it was okay.
The sharp pain in her heart returned, and Vivian abruptly opened her eyes, clutching her chest and taking several deep breaths. Part Two
Sensing the movement beside her, Elise opened her eyes and looked at her: "What, another nightmare? Does having a deep conversation with me really give you nightmares?"
Vivian wanted to say it had nothing to do with Elise, but upon reflection, if she hadn't had a deep conversation with Elise, she wouldn't have awakened her past life memories, so it seemed like there was some connection after all.
Seeing Vivian suddenly fall silent, Iris also wore a mournful face: "Could it really be related to me?"
“Simply put, as long as I have a deep conversation with you, I can awaken some memories from my past life. Just now, I only remembered some unpleasant things.” Vivian avoided Iris’s gaze.
"There's actually such a saying? Then your method of awakening memories is truly..." Iris thought for a long time before finally uttering the word 'unique'.
However, Elise quickly removed the magic-suppressing collar, instantly transforming into a succubus. She looked at Vivian with seductive eyes and said, "Would you like to awaken more memories from your past life?"
“I’m hungry,” Vivian said to Iris without any expression.
"Alright, alright, I'll go to the kitchen now." With her tail and wings gone, Elise regained her elegance.
After quickly changing her clothes, she left the room and went to borrow the kitchen from the head maid.
After Elise moved away, Vivian couldn't help but bite her lower lip. She just couldn't understand it. In her memory, she clearly didn't trust Elise very much, but Elise still chose such a reckless way.
Whether it was lending me her leg before, or disregarding the confidentiality agreement and betraying me...
Just then, there was a knock on Vivian's door, and her personal maid's voice came in: "Miss, I have something to report."
"Hold on."
Vivian quickly changed her clothes and made the bed before sitting in her wheelchair and letting her personal maid in.
Just as the personal maid approached Vivian and was about to report the situation, she noticed a dark red mark on her mistress's neck.
It feels like...
Easy⊙Easy4SpiritPullPull
Yes, that shouldn’t be the case, right?
The personal maid felt as if she had discovered something important, but her intuition told her that it was best to pretend she knew nothing at this moment, otherwise she might be fired the next morning for stepping into the room with either her left or right foot first.
For people of their status, being fired is tantamount to death, since only the dead can better keep secrets.
"It's about Elira. Our people over there have gathered some more information." The maid said, handing a letter to her mistress before turning and leaving the room.
Vivian certainly noticed her personal maid's unusual behavior, but in that situation, she could only pretend she hadn't noticed anything.
It's all Elise's fault. She was so preoccupied with her own thoughts that she forgot to cover up the marks on her body.
Elise, who was cooking in the kitchen, suddenly felt a chill down her spine. If she were in the past, it might have been because the air conditioning was too low, but in this unscientific world, it was very likely an ominous sign.
However, there shouldn't be any problems inside Vivian's mansion.
Elise carefully surveyed her surroundings and, after confirming that everything was alright, continued cooking.
Before transmigrating, Elise knew nothing about cooking, and she was the same at first after transmigrating. But after dying many times and experiencing more things, she naturally learned how to cook.
While it can't compare to the chef at Ento, at least it uses rare ingredients, so the taste is still guaranteed.
It can also improve some attributes.
She could even feel the gluttony brand on the back of her hand stirring.
Volume 1: Chapter 203 Vivian's Outspokenness
"Stop messing around, I'll make it for you when I get back."
As the gluttony brand on the back of her hand gradually subsided, Elise couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth. When did the King of Gluttony become so easy to talk to?
8 Cold Bell Seven' Eight < Phosphorus_Dream
You see, she used to randomly acquire the faith of the King of Gluttony, and she had to find a way to feed Him every now and then, otherwise she would experience a maddening hunger.
And now, she hasn't made a point of feeding Him, nor has she been affected by hunger.
It can only be said that it was the blessing of the King of Gluttony.
After a while, Elise returned to Vivian's room with the freshly prepared dish.
The dishes were all held aloft by an invisible magical hand. After entering, Elise even gave Vivian a perfunctory bow: "Miss, it's time to eat."
Seeing Elise like this, Vivian wanted to say something, but she couldn't help but recall her awakened memories. She remembered that Elise had been her personal maid for a period of time.
Although Elise is a noble lady, she seems to be quite good at taking care of people; I wonder where she learned it from.
"What's wrong? Did I not imitate it well? Then I'll try it on in a maid outfit next time."
"can."
"Given your personality, shouldn't you be saying you're not interested at a time like this?" Elise put down the food, then took a few steps closer to Vivian, leaned down slightly, and whispered in her ear, "You wouldn't be interested in how I look in my maid outfit, would you?"
"Yes, I'm interested." Vivian admitted without hesitation.
She then ignored the somewhat dazed Elise, stood up, and walked to the table laden with food to sit down.
Looking at the dishes on the table, which weren't particularly fancy but smelled delicious, Vivian couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity.
Seeing that Vivian had already sat down, Elise sat down next to her, her beautiful face full of pride: "Although I haven't made this in a long time, so it may not look very good, I've tried the taste, and it will definitely suit your taste."
