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

Elise ruffled the little maid's hair: "I wouldn't want to transfer my wound to you. This thing has another use."

"What's the use?"

“Two people wearing rings can exchange bodies if they are willing.” Elise casually slipped one of the rings onto her ring finger and said to Elena, “Would you like to try?”

"Let's forget about that kind of thing." Swapping bodies sounds dangerous enough; what if we can't switch back...?

踆留芭久罢O*（四）};零舞

"There's only one situation where we can't switch back: if we swap bodies and I die, then you'll have to live on in my body."

"You came looking for this thing, is it to get a new body?"

Elise took the ring off again and put it back in the box. "Generally speaking, I wouldn't give up my body. I have other uses for this."

She had considered switching bodies to avoid being killed, but it was no use; after a while, she was still found and killed.

Elise once swapped bodies with one of the main characters, but was eventually found by that character and locked in a dark, sunless basement.

She still vividly remembers that feeling of wanting to die but being unable to.

In the game, many players who obtain this item will choose to nurture an NPC, max out their favorability, and then try to improve that NPC's physique and recovery, thus effectively giving them two lives.

If you accidentally suffer a fatal injury, then switch to another NPC to train.

“Alright, we’ve found everything we needed to find. Let’s go. As for this place…” Elise glanced at the statue of Eloise, then said to the little maid, “Misha, try to cover up this gap. We might come back again in the future.”

"Yes."

After Elise and Elena left the church, the little maid also collapsed the gap.

When the three of them walked out of the mine, the sun was shining brightly outside, and it was exactly noon.

Elise stretched her back and then said to the two of them, "Let's go back and tell the villagers about the situation in the mine, and then we'll head back."

Back in the iron mine village, after explaining the situation of the mine to the village chief, the village chief immediately sent people to investigate.

There were indeed no goblins left in the mine, not even their corpses could be found; only traces of battle and bloodstains remained.

After the people who had explored the mine returned, the old village chief, as if relieved, said to Elise, "Miss Elise, thank you so much for coming all the way to this remote village to help us solve our problem."

"It's nothing. Since you've already confirmed that there's no problem, please give me the guild card."

The old village chief quickly handed a card to Elise; it was a receipt for completing the quest. Taking this back to the Adventurers' Guild would confirm the quest's completion and grant her the reward.

"The caravan just left this morning. Why don't you rest in the village for a couple more days? A merchant guild will be passing by in two days and will take you back to Angto."

"no need."

There was nothing in this small village that would make her stay for more than two days.

The two of them had enough time for her to return to Anto and obtain another rare ingredient. Most importantly, she didn't want to take a carriage anymore.

I feel like I should find a mount sometime.

"Where are we going now?"

“Go back to Angto. It’s a few hours’ walk from here, and we should be able to find a lake where we can camp.”

"I think there's no problem between me and your maid, but as for you..."

Without saying a word, Elise took out a pair of boots from her spatial ring and put them on.

The second-tier magical artifact, the [Walking Boots], is extremely comfortable. Wearing these boots can reduce one's weight, increase movement speed, and reduce physical exertion, making them an essential choice for long journeys.

Elena had seen this item in Seria's magic shop; it was priced at 288 gold coins, which was her monthly salary.

Judging from the level of craftsmanship, it's probably much more expensive than what's sold in stores.

"Are there still any questions?" Elise asked with a smile.

Volume 1: Chapter 28 My Gun is Called a Fishing Rod

"We've arrived, this is the place."

After Ellie led the two through a dense jungle, a pool of azure water appeared before the three of them.

The lake is small and hidden in a dense forest, so few people usually come here.

The afterglow of the setting sun gently spills onto the lake, creating a picturesque scene.

“We’ll camp here tonight. You guys set up your tents, I’m going fishing.” Elise said, taking out a fishing rod and bait from her spatial ring. She bought these yesterday while shopping in Onto, specifically for fishing here.

Seeing that Elise had already taken out a chair and was leisurely sitting by the lake preparing to fish, Elena twitched the corner of her mouth: "I don't know if you came out here for an adventure or for sightseeing."

"There is no conflict between them. After an adventure, proper relaxation is good for both body and mind."

There are life skills in the game, and fishing is one of them. However, this is not a game after all. As long as the bait is right, you can still catch the fish you want. Whether you can actually catch them is another matter.

Elise was lucky; she caught a fish not long after she started.

However, the fish didn't feel right; it wasn't the one she wanted. But it didn't matter; at least she wouldn't have to eat jerky that night.

This area mainly produces armored fish, whose scales are like iron but whose flesh is delicious. It is a relatively common type of fish.

A four- or five-pound armored fish was thrown into the bucket.

〓裠邬易企捌（八）⊙起流

Seeing this, Elena couldn't help but feel a little itchy to fish. As an adventurer, fishing was an essential skill for her, and it could often improve her meals.

She quickened her pace, setting up the tent and sprinkling animal-repelling powder around it. Then she walked over to Elise and asked, "Are there any extra fishing rods?"

"Yes, it's free." Elise knew Elena liked fishing, so she prepared some for her too.

Taking the fishing rod and bait, Elena moved slightly away from Elise and began fishing.

Whether it was luck or not, she, an experienced angler, had been sitting for half an hour without a single fish biting, while Elise was catching one fish after another, and it seemed like her bucket would soon be overflowing.

Just as she was wondering if Elise had some unique secret, she noticed that Elise suddenly stood up, took out a magical gun that was lying to the side, and fired several shots directly at the water.

Then a large fish, more than a meter long, floated to the surface.

"This isn't fishing at all!"

“This fish is very strong, and this crappy fishing rod has no chance of catching it, so this is the best method.”

"Besides, I call this gun a fishing rod, so it seems fine for me to use it to fish, right?"

Elise pulled the large fish to the shore, stuffed an ice-type magic core into its mouth as a precaution, and then tossed it directly into her spatial ring.

"Aren't you going to eat that big fish?"

“This is a rare breed, and it needs a professional chef to bring out its best. Let’s not waste it.” After saying that, Elise walked to the fire and began to instruct the little maid on how to grill the fish.

Elena didn't give up. She refused to believe she couldn't catch a fish. Even when eating grilled fish, she sat by the lake and wore heavy night vision goggles to see the lake clearly.

After dinner, Elise yawned and went straight back to her tent to sleep, with Michael following her.

Just like yesterday, Elena was in charge of the first half of the night, and Misha was in charge of the second half.

After Elise and her maid fell asleep, Elena continued to stay by the lake. With the help of night vision goggles, she could even see fish swimming near her hook, but no fish took the bait!

When her patience wore thin, Elena silently stood up, expressionless, and stretched out her hand towards the school of fish. The ring on her hand shone brightly, and the magical impact splashed across the lake, causing the stunned fish to float to the surface one by one.

……

At dawn, the tent by the lake was pulled open, and Elise rubbed her sleepy eyes and crawled out.

After seeing her mistress get up, the maid immediately began preparing for her to wash up.

It was at this moment that Elise noticed the bucket by the lake was full of fish. As if she had thought of something, she turned around and smiled at Elena, saying, "You caught all of these last night, right? You're really amazing to have caught so many."

Under Elise's adoring gaze, Elena, who was already depressed because she had been killed in her dream all night, felt even worse.

The three of them ate some grilled fish, then packed their things and set off again on their way back to Angto.

They were very lucky this time. Not long after they set off, they met a small caravan returning to Anto and hitched a ride back to Anto in the afternoon.

Elise didn't rest either; she went back to the nameless tavern and took out the big fish.

"This is a variant of the armored fish. I was fortunate enough to have it once. The meat is extremely delicious and it's a rare and exquisite ingredient," the still-charming proprietress said with some delight as she looked at the fish.

"Is the customer planning to sell this fish?"

"No, I'd like the chef to cook it for me. As for the cooking method, please feel free to use your own ideas."

"Then, we will charge one-quarter of the ingredients as payment. Is that alright?"

"Well, I'm sorry to bother you."

"No trouble at all. If you need similar ingredients again in the future, please be sure to contact us."

Elise wanted to see if offering the food to the glutton this time would result in any special rewards, just like last time.

It wasn't mealtime yet, so there weren't many customers in the tavern. The chef worked quickly, and the proprietress brought out the dishes in no time.

This time, Elise felt the burning sensation on the back of her hand once again.

However, this time the mark did not change like last time, but Elise could clearly feel that the mark was improving very quickly. After offering the glutton a few more meals, the mark of the King of Gluttony might be able to enter the next stage.

Looking at the pile of plates on the table, the proprietress still asked with a smile, "May I ask how many guests you are? Are you satisfied with the taste of these dishes?"

"Yes, I'm very satisfied. I'll come back when I've collected enough precious ingredients."

"Alright, please take care, guests."

After leaving the nameless tavern, Elena glanced at the sky and asked, "Where are we sleeping tonight?"

"Let's just find a cheap hotel and make do."

Elise's savings are almost gone, and she needs to buy a train ticket back to Seria tomorrow. After that, she'll have nothing left.

But it doesn't matter, Elise's family has a gold mine anyway.

Go back and find the old man to get some more gold coins.

Volume 1: Chapter 29 The Cure for Heartache

The Imperial Capital, Seria.

After resting for a day in Entor, Iris boarded the magic train for her return journey.

Nearly another day passed, and she returned to this place once more: the capital of the empire, the magical city of Seria.

Elise yawned lazily: "Let's go back."

"Oh, right!" After leaving the station, Elise suddenly remembered something and said to Elena, "I'm giving you two days off. I should be safe these two days. Weren't you moving house? And there's the matter of settling your sister in."

"You're really giving me a holiday?" Elena asked, somewhat surprised.

A hint of sadness appeared in Elise's eyes: "I never thought that in your eyes I was just like those unscrupulous capitalists. I'm so heartbroken. This heartache might not be cured without a week of hard work."

Elena twitched the corner of her mouth and chose to ignore Elise's words.

"Then I'll really be leaving. Take care of yourself."

"I know you care about me, so go now."

"Who cares about you?"

Elena muttered something, then turned and left, disappearing into the crowd in no time.

Elise, on the other hand, returned to the manor in a carriage with her maid.

As soon as she got home, Elise's butler said to her very respectfully, "Miss, the master has come and said that you should go see him as soon as you return."

Qun erling? Wu Lingjiu Lu? Jiu?

"okay, I get it."

Elise nodded, then said to the maid, "Misha, help me prepare for my bath."

"Yes."

Upon arriving at the study on the second floor, Elise knocked on the door, and a mature, deep voice came from behind it: "Come in."

Upon entering the study, Elise immediately spotted the middle-aged man sitting by the window reading a book. He was tall with deep-set features; in his youth, he would have been a top-tier handsome man, and even in middle age, he still exuded the air of an elegant and handsome gentleman.

Byron Noyce

He was Elise's father. He usually stayed in the territory to handle various matters and only came to the capital occasionally.

He was an upright man with considerable achievements in government affairs, making him a good lord.
