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

If that's the case, then it makes sense.

So Elise isn't a succubus? It seems like she can bring someone back from anywhere, and those people she brings back all have some kind of special feeling for her.

She could only grumble about it to herself before resolutely returning to her room.

When she returned to her room, Elise had already left, but she didn't tidy up the room for her.

She even found Elise's underwear on the bed.

Elena twitched the corners of her mouth, then decisively put the item into her spatial ring. Fortunately, her younger sister usually wouldn't come looking for her at times like this; otherwise, if she saw Elise's underwear on her bed, she, as the older sister, wouldn't know how to explain it.

After tidying up the room, Elena went into the bathroom and took a nice, relaxing shower. After making sure she hadn't picked up any of Elise's scent, she breathed a sigh of relief.

When she went downstairs again, she found that Elise was already downstairs. She could see that the pink-haired girl who had just harbored murderous intent towards her was now sitting obediently next to Elise, with half of her body leaning against Elise, giving people a very intimate feeling.

For some reason, Elena felt inexplicably annoyed upon seeing this scene.

When Elena got closer, she also heard the conversation between the two.

"Teacher, are you really not coming with me on this adventure today?" Elsa asked pitifully, clinging to Iris's hand.

“I have other things to do today, and I’ve already taught you everything I needed to teach you. Now it’s time for you to stand on your own.”

“Okay.” Elsa’s face showed undisguised disappointment.

It was at this moment that Elise noticed Elena's presence, then pointed at her and said, "That's a veteran adventurer. If you have any questions, you can ask her."

"Okay." Elsa agreed without hesitation, but she had no intention of asking Elena for advice.

"What are you talking about?"

"We were talking about adventurers. Oh, right, I haven't formally introduced you yet. This is Elsa, my good friend, and also, you could say, my student."

Elsa greeted Elena very politely in front of Elise, and even gave a brief self-introduction.

At this moment, Elena could not sense any hostility from the other party at all. If this was acting, then she probably learned it from that wicked woman, Elise.

Although she inwardly complained, she outwardly responded to the other party in a very harmonious manner.

"Alright, hurry up and finish your tasks for today. If you encounter any problems you can't solve, you can contact me directly." Elise had already taught Elsa how to use the Heavy Cocoon.

"Oh, then I'll head out now."

Although she wanted to stay by her teacher's side, Elsa couldn't do anything about the current situation. She should have known better than to pretend to be weak.

Elsa pursed her lips as she left the manor, her expression shifting from gentle to cold.

After Elsa left, Elena finally spoke up, saying, "How come you have another student after all this time?"

"Of course, it's because of her talent."

"So what did she see in you?"

"Hmm?" Elise blinked, feeling a bit strange about what Elena had said.

Not only did Elise find it a bit strange, but even Elena, who said those words, felt that they didn't sound like she was saying them herself.

She coughed lightly twice, then quickly changed the subject: "Um, I just heard you say you had something to do today, do you need any help?"

"You know what, there is something I really need your help with."

"Go ahead."

“Recently, the magical beasts around Seria have become restless, and the Adventurers’ Guild has issued a lot of quests to clear them out. This doesn’t seem right, and I need you to help me find the source.”

"When did you start caring about Celia's safety?" Elena looked at Iris with some surprise, feeling that this was not like her usual self.

Given Elise's style of doing things, she shouldn't take the initiative in this kind of situation. If she does take the initiative, it means there's something to gain from it.

"I need the thing that caused the monsters to mutate. If you can help me find it, I'll thank you properly." Elise whispered in Elena's ear, like sweet words between lovers, or like a seductive succubus.

Volume 1: Chapter 446 You'll Get Used to It

"I knew you wouldn't do a good deed for no reason, but I happen to be free lately, so I'll do a little investigation for you."

"Thank you for your hard work. There will be an extra reward when you're done~" Elise kissed Elena on the cheek.

Caught off guard, Elena paused for a moment before saying with a hint of helplessness, "Be mindful of the occasion. What if someone sees you?"

"I don't care, so why are you starting to care?"

Elena rolled her eyes. Of course, Elise didn't need to care, but she was different. She didn't even look at how many suitors Elise had around her, like Elsa just now. If they were seen, she and Elsa would probably start fighting on the spot.

Even if they were to fight, she estimated that Elise would just sit on a chair and watch from the sidelines, and might even cheer for both of them at the same time.

Without a doubt, this is something Elise is capable of doing.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you. Since you have something for me to do, I'll head out now." Elena glanced at Iris, then got up and went out to investigate the monster disturbance.

There was a reason why Elise sent Elena to investigate. After all, as the protagonist, Elena was more likely to trigger various events, a conclusion Elise reached after repeated trials.

Although she has her own way of finding the crimson meteor, it may take a lot of time and effort.

But if the protagonist were to take the lead, who knows, he might just bump into someone while out the door, and that person might be carrying a blood-red meteor?

After Elena left, Elise called out towards the corridor, "How long are you going to hide there? My dear Miss Sally."

Sally, who had thought she hadn't been discovered, had no choice but to come out after hearing Elise's words. She nervously said, "Um, I was just passing by. I definitely didn't see anything between you and Elena."

As soon as she finished speaking, Sally silently covered her mouth. Why did she blurt out what she had seen in her nervousness?

Maru, what if Elise wants to kill me to silence me?

Just as Sally was lost in thought, Elise chuckled softly, "Why are you so nervous? Do I look like the kind of person who would kill someone to silence them? At most, I just used my charm on you, there's no need to be nervous~"

"Don't do that kind of thing!"

Actually, Sally was just putting on an act. The longer you spend with Elise, the more you'll find that this wicked woman is actually quite easy to get along with; she just likes to tease others.

No, there's another point: spending a lot of time together can easily lead to developing unusual feelings for her.

"Speak, what do you want from me? Do you want me to do that kind of thing to you? Let me make it clear, I'm not that kind of person."

"How could that be? I was just passing by. I stayed quiet to avoid disturbing you and Elena."

"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now." Sally chuckled twice, then immediately and decisively chose to run away.

In her view, being alone with Elise was undoubtedly dangerous; she could easily become captivated by her beauty.

Watching Sally's retreating figure, Elise felt both angry and amused. She wondered if she had done anything strange to Sally, so why was Sally so afraid of her?

Is he really afraid that he'll eat her up?

Just then, a butterfly flew in through the window and landed directly on Elise's shoulder.

A few tentacles gently brushed against Elise's cheeks before burrowing into her ear.

As the connection was established, Elise heard Elira's familiar voice: "Can you hear me?"

"Yes, I heard you clearly. Is there something you need?"

"The Order faction has begun to act, and they have dragged the Eternal Church into the fray. The situation in the Kingdom is becoming increasingly chaotic."

Hearing Elira's words, Elise couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "The faction of order actually thought of dragging the Eternal Church into this mess. It seems there are some smart people among them. What about the reaction of the faction of war?"

"Now that the flames of war have been ignited, they cannot be extinguished easily. Even if the Eternal Church intervenes, the war cannot end so easily. After all, the Kingdom's breach of the agreement has provoked a strong counterattack from the Empire."

"How do you know the Empire is enraged? Maybe they're using this opportunity to speed things up?"

"No matter what, the more chaotic the situation is for us, the better. It would be best to drag the Eternal God into this mess, so that I can visit His house."

Elise's bold words made Elira fall silent for a moment. The home of the Eternal God was the headquarters of the Eternal Church. What was she going there for?

Although she was somewhat curious, Elira didn't say anything more, but instead asked about the next steps.

"We need to find out which faction of Order proposed the cooperation with the Eternal Church."

Having survived so many near-death experiences, she was well aware of the kingdom's situation. Logically speaking, the Order faction shouldn't have considered cooperating with the Eternal Church.

Elise is becoming increasingly curious about who is behind Hattie's kidnapping.

"Okay, I'll figure something out, but don't get your hopes up too high."

"That's all for now. Is there anything else?"

"Also, could you please change your contact information a little? It's really uncomfortable to have a foreign object in your ear."

"You'll get used to it," Elise chuckled.

Hearing that clear and melodious laughter, Elira knew that there was no way to change this way of connecting for the time being.

She hadn't had high hopes to begin with.

After ending her call with Elira, a thoughtful look appeared on Elise's face. Although she didn't know exactly what had happened to cause things to develop in that direction, such a development was undoubtedly beneficial to her.

Searching for QUN: 衈咎↑§司崚∮↓参‖唔⊥榴）私 Compared to war, order is obviously a better partner, not to mention that the skin of order is still in my hands. Once Wendy completes her research, that skin will be a very good bargaining chip.

Speaking of which, I wonder if I can seize the opportunity to take control of the war or the order in this struggle between war and order?

The idea only flashed through Elise's mind briefly before she dismissed it. Her faction still needed to develop, and it wasn't the time to consider such things.

Even if it succeeds, it will come at an unbearable cost.

Unfortunately, I didn't do much to cultivate relationships within the kingdom; otherwise, I could have taken this opportunity to support someone and perhaps stir things up even more.

Volume 1: Chapter 447 The Infected

"What did she say?"

Upon hearing Sera's words, Elira simply repeated what Iris had said.

To be honest, she didn't quite understand why Elise had asked her to find out who had chosen to cooperate with the Eternal Church.

However, if she could have figured out Elise's thinking, she wouldn't have had to be reborn so many times.

Sera nodded slightly: "I'm not very good at this. If you have any ideas, you can tell me. Although I'm not in a good mental state most of the time, I can still help when needed."

"it is good."

A look of curiosity flashed in Elira's eyes. She was curious about how Sera's mental state had recovered. When she came with him before, Sera had always thought of herself as Iris.

But this morning, Sera suddenly regained her senses.

She sensed that the Sera who had regained her senses was much more dangerous than the Sera who usually saw herself as Elise.

She could vaguely sense a destructive desire emanating from the other person.

Perhaps noticing Elira's gaze, Sera also looked at Elira: "Is there any other question?"

"No, there's no problem." Elira pursed her lips and gave a slightly nervous, dry laugh.

"I always feel like you're afraid of me?"

"No, no, after all, you are a ninth-level being. It's normal to be a little nervous when I'm around you, right?"

Although Elira's explanation was reasonable, Sera clearly didn't believe it, but she didn't press the matter further.

Having acquired Elise's memories, she has now roughly deduced Elera's identity: one of the protagonists of this world, and perhaps even, like Elise, an being capable of multiple rebirths.

If such a person has no hostility towards Elise, then staying by her side would undoubtedly be beneficial.

Otherwise, the other party would have disappeared from this world long ago.

Everything that threatens Elise must be eliminated!

Just as Elira was about to leave, she suddenly sensed a surge of murderous intent coming from inside the house, but it vanished in an instant.

It seemed like an illusion, but Elira wouldn't take it for a mistake.

At this moment, she was still very grateful that she was on Elise's side; otherwise, given some time to develop, the strength of Elise's camp would have become terrifying.

……

"I have no clue."

Elena walked slowly back to the manor. She had gone to the abandoned street first to inquire with the intelligence merchant there, but she did not get the clues she wanted.

Later, she went to the outskirts of Seria to look for clues and finally discovered the corrupted magical beast. The kind of corruption that causes blood-red crystals to grow on its body has a very strong ability to spread, and the source cannot be found in a short period of time.

All I can say is that Elise has indeed presented her with a difficult problem.

Just as Elena was pondering how to find clues, she seemed to sense something and then turned directly into a dark alley.

Unlike main roads, these alleyways are not illuminated by magical lamps.

Although the surrounding environment was dark, Elena's vision was not obstructed in the darkness. She could clearly see deep in the alley that one person was clinging to another and gnawing on him.

Even from a distance, she could still hear the sound of flesh being torn apart.
