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

As benefactors of the elves, these elves treated Elise with great respect. Whenever they saw her, they would immediately bow to her and even offer her small gifts, such as elven snacks.

After just a short walk around with the two of them, the little maid and Rumia found themselves with quite a few snacks in their hands.

Before she knew it, Elise had arrived at Lily's treehouse.

You can see that Lily is sitting on a tree branch, swinging her legs casually, her eyes looking somewhat vacant as if she is thinking about something.

However, being a ninth-tier being, even though Iris had deliberately concealed her aura, wanting to sneak up on her and surprise her, she heard Lily's voice as soon as she got close: "You wouldn't be that childish, would you?"

Although she had been discovered, Elise didn't seem to care. She simply walked over and sat down next to her. "I have this feeling that you've been avoiding me lately."

Iris's words caused Lily's expression to stiffen slightly, but as a powerful ninth-tier expert, she would never admit to such a thing. It would be too embarrassing for her to be known that she was deliberately avoiding Iris.

"You...you're overthinking it. How could I deliberately avoid you? I've just been busy dealing with various things lately and haven't had time to entertain you."

"Really?" Elise clearly didn't believe Lily's words. After she sat down, Lily never looked in her direction, making her seem like some kind of monster.

This change occurred after Lily and the World Tree became symbiotic. She had reason to suspect that the other party might have been influenced by the World Tree's will after resonating with it.

You should know that the World Tree is very affectionate towards her.

Thinking of this, Elise shifted her position and moved closer to Lily.

Feeling the familiar scent of morning dew and flowers, Lily suddenly had an urge to snuggle up to Iris and rub against her.

She could certainly resist the urge, but it was no use if she did it alone. Seeing how cute Lily looked, Elise couldn't help but lean in and rub her face against Lily's.

Lily felt incredibly comfortable being rubbed against, but she quickly realized what was happening, suppressed her reluctance, and dodged to the side. Then, she angrily said to Iris, "What are you doing?"

"It's probably because you're so cute that I couldn't resist." Although Lily dodged her movement, Elise noticed that she had to rub against Lily several times before she moved away. If Lily really didn't want her to rub against her, she probably wouldn't have been able to do so even once.

Even if you say I'm cute, it won't work.

"I've helped you so much, what's wrong with taking a little rub? I'm not going inside anyway!"

As Lily and Elise struggled back and forth, they both fell from the tree. However, they didn't need anyone's help. Before they hit the ground, the grass beneath them grew rapidly and caught them safely.

Lily, who was lying on top of Iris, said irritably, "If it weren't for me, you would have been hurt."

"If you hadn't moved around, we wouldn't have fallen."

Although teasing Lily was fun, she would get angry if you teased her too much, so after landing, Elise quickly stood up and dusted off imaginary dust: "Okay, I'm not messing with you anymore, I'm going to go check out other places."

"Wait a minute!" Lily tugged at Iris's sleeve.

"You don't want me to leave? Then I'll stay with you a little longer."

"What are you thinking about? I promised to let you choose something from the treasure vault last time. Now that we have some time, do you want to go take a look?"

"Okay."

After the relocation, the Elven treasure trove was placed underground in Lily's house; there was no safer place than the home of a ninth-tier powerhouse.

Although some items can be carried with you, many things in the treasure vault cannot be put into the spatial ring at will, otherwise it will cause the space to become disordered and collapse.

As they entered the treasure vault, Lily's voice rang out: "The things here are similar to what you saw last time. Have you decided what to choose?"

"I want a drop of the blood of the goddess of life."

Hearing Elise's words, Lily raised an eyebrow: "Are you going to die, or is someone close to you going to die?"

"It's not that exaggerated. It's just that my people are cursed and need a drop of the blood of the Goddess of Life to break the curse."

"Are your people cursed by the God of Curses? They even need the blood of the Goddess of Life to break the curse," Lily couldn't help but complain.

"It really is true. You've met her before. She came from the Cursed Fertile Land."

Lily couldn't help but recall the black-haired girl who had been with Elise before. The girl was like a walking embodiment of curses. If the items were meant for her, then it would be understandable.

"You're really good to your people, aren't you?" Lily muttered, then waved her hand, and a crack suddenly appeared in the wall made of vines. She reached into it and quickly took out a crystal bottle, handing it to Elise.

Even though it was in a bottle, Elise could still feel the surging life force within it once it was in her hands.

It's unclear whether this drop of blood sensed Elise's presence, but it began to stir, seemingly wanting to break free of the bottle and enter Elise's body.

Volume 1: Chapter 349 Something's Nine Out of Ten Something's Wrong

"what happened?"

Lily also noticed the unusual movement of the drop of blood. Just as she was about to suppress it, the drop of blood broke through the seal of the crystal bottle and flowed directly into Elise's body.

After the drop of blood entered Elise's body, a burning sensation suddenly came from the back of her right hand. Just as the Holy Mark of Life was about to emerge, the Mark of Gluttony appeared first and directly devoured the Holy Mark of Life that had not yet taken shape.

The drop of blood seemed somewhat helpless, and eventually transferred to Elise's wrist, where the stigmata of life reappeared.

There was no change in the mark left by this binge eating.

Looking at the Life Mark on his wrist, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Upon seeing this, Lily immediately grabbed Iris's hand and carefully examined her physical condition. She knew that this was divine blood, and even the blood of the goddess of life could have a great impact on a person.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have collapsed and died the moment they touched this blood, which is why Lily was so nervous.

"I didn't realize you cared about me so much~" Elise smiled as she looked at Lily, who had a worried expression.

"You still have time to make sarcastic remarks at a time like this? What if something happens?" Lily glared at Elise in annoyance, then touched Elise's wrist, and the Holy Mark of Life suddenly appeared.

"This is the first time I've encountered a situation like this. It seems that because of that drop of blood, you have become a favorite of my Lord. But then again, your background is far too complicated!"

When she examined Elise's body just now, she discovered that Elise possessed various complex powers, and she didn't know how she managed to do it.

"Maybe it's because I'm too charming~" Not to mention Lily, even Elise, who had been through so many near-death experiences, had never encountered such a situation before.

Once you become a favorite of a god, it's virtually impossible for you to be favored by other gods. But she seems to be a god's darling, which is nine parts out of ten strange.

Actually, Elise had sensed something was wrong with this before, but there was nothing she could do about it. Now she's already made her move; after all, the more debts she has, the safer she is, and the more gods she's blessed with.

"How long are you going to hold my hand? Although I don't really care~"

Only after Elise reminded her did Lily realize that she had been holding Elise's hand the whole time.

She released her grip in annoyance, then pulled another bottle from the vine-covered wall. This time, she was careful; a bright green seal covered the bottle.

"How much of this do you have left?" Elise asked curiously.

"What are you talking about? This is the blood of my lord! As my lord's favorite, show him some respect!" Lily shoved the bottle at Iris in an annoyed tone.

"Yes, yes, yes, consider this a favor I owe you."

"No, it was my mistake this time, otherwise that situation wouldn't have happened. But now it seems you've turned misfortune into blessing."

"Whether it will be beneficial or not is still hard to say."

A hint of doubt flashed in Lily's eyes, but she didn't delve into it. She simply snapped her fingers and teleported the two of them back home.

"Alright, then you get some rest. I'm going to the Holy Kingdom in a couple of days. I'll come see you again when I get back," Elise said softly.

"Okay, remember to bring me a gift back."

"Ah."

……

The Land of Hope, Teresa's Treehouse.

Elise did indeed find Theresa here.

When she found Theresa, the other woman was sitting on the grass, staring blankly at the sky, radiating a sense of loneliness. It was clear that she had just awakened her memories and was still immersed in those recollections.

They didn't even notice Elise getting close.

It wasn't until Iris walked over and sat down next to her that Theresa realized what was happening.

Looking at Elise beside her, Theresa took a while to come to her senses before asking, "Why are you here?"

"I brought you something." Elise said, handing over the blood of the Goddess of Life: "This is the blood of a god. If an ordinary person used it, it would probably cause their body to collapse and die. But if it's you, even if your body collapses, you won't die. In fact, it can even purify many curses."

"However, you should also think carefully. If you purify most of the curse in a short period of time, you will also awaken many memories. Even with your mental strength, under the erosion of a massive amount of memories, you may no longer be yourself."

"Therefore, it's best to consume more memory and increase your endurance before using this thing."

"it is good."

Seeing Theresa put the bottle away, Elise couldn't help but blink. She thought Theresa would refuse it after receiving it, since it was the blood of a god, and even a single drop was extremely precious.

As if she could read Elise's mind, Theresa said calmly, "I can't even repay what you gave me before. If I give you this again, I still won't be able to repay it, so it doesn't matter."

"Actually, all you need to do is give yourself back to me~"

These words no longer had the same effect on Theresa as before; not even the slightest hint of shyness could be seen on her face, only indifference.

Even Elise felt a little flustered when she was looked at with such a calm gaze.

Just as she was about to say something to ease the tension, Theresa spoke up, saying, "If you can save my people and help me solve the problem of the undead curse, I will stay by your side."

She didn't want to live alone for so long anymore, but she didn't say it aloud.

"Immortality is what so many people are after. Look at those who besieged the Forest of Sanctuary before, weren't they all after immortality?"

"They are who they are, anyway, I don't like them."

Those memories that awakened after the amnesia was erased were increasingly lonely; how could she possibly like them?

But then again, she was a little curious: had she not found a way to break the curse of immortality in her memories? Otherwise, why had she not died after Elise died?

Keep in mind that by then the God of Curses had already fallen completely, and her own people had gained their freedom. She simply couldn't think of any reason why she could remain immortal.

Theresa instinctively opened her mouth, wanting to ask Iris a question, but in the end, she couldn't bring herself to say it.

She felt that if she could awaken more memories, perhaps she could find the answer.

Volume 1: Chapter 350 She's seeking revenge!

Seria, Magic Train Platform.

After undergoing numerous checks, Elise and her group finally managed to enter the station.

After all, it was wartime, and the empire was very strict about security.

However strict the measures were, they couldn't possibly stop Elise and her group. In fact, by the time the inspection was completed, some of the station staff had already been seduced by Elise.

It's fortunate that Wendy had gone back in advance, otherwise it wouldn't have been just a simple case of seduction.

"It's been a long time since I've ridden the magic train, I'm kind of looking forward to it~" Iris said lazily, sitting on the bench with her legs crossed and swinging gently.

Rumia stared intently at Iris's gently swaying little feet, her eyes following her movements back and forth. She didn't hear a word Iris said; all she wanted now was to be trampled underfoot by Iris.

The thought of the noble former saintess of the Eternal Church being trampled underfoot made Lumia feel a burning rage.

Her gaze was so direct that Iris noticed what she was thinking at a glance. She twitched the corner of her mouth, then reached out and tapped Rumia on the head: "Behave yourself a little better in public!"

"Oh."

Rumia nodded obediently and resumed her role as a maid.

The group didn't have to wait long before the magic train arrived at the station.

This time, they were not heading to the border city of Alba, but to Morton, a border city near the Holy Kingdom.

Morton is close to the Holy Kingdom. Although it is not at war with the Kingdom, according to Vivian's intelligence, the situation there is still very tense.

This time, Elise had her maid book a ticket for the luxury carriage again. After all, it would take two or three days to travel to Seria by magic train, so she wanted to make sure she was comfortable no matter what.

Elena sat lazily by the window and yawned. She was supposed to leave today, but Elise still came to her last night, leaving her feeling completely drained.

"Do you think there might be some kind of cult attack this time?" Elena asked, looking out the window.

"Don't even think about it. Ever since Rumia was attacked while riding the magic train, the defenses of the magic train have become much stronger than before. Now, every magic train is equipped with a seventh-tier expert. In addition, since this is during wartime, the defenses of the magic train are even stronger. No cultists will dare to cause trouble when they are inconspicuous."

"Then I can sleep peacefully now." Elena yawned lazily and quickly entered the burning church.

Since she mastered the power of the Dragon Crystal, the number of times she has died has decreased significantly, but she has not relaxed because of this; on the contrary, she has become even more diligent.

In the dream, Elena looked calmly at her other self and said, "You've come to ask me for information about the Holy Kingdom, haven't you?"

"As expected of me, you understand what I'm thinking even without saying a word." Elena's lips curled up slightly.

As an adventurer, she had never been to the Holy Kingdom. Before heading there, she wanted to gather relevant information, and the best option was to find herself in her dreams and let her enter her past memories to experience them carefully.

Elena in her dream knew exactly what she was thinking. She was silent for a moment before saying softly, "Are you ready?"

"Well, please."

As Elena finished speaking, she felt weightlessness again, and the burning church collapsed before her eyes. When she regained her senses, she found herself in a carriage of the magic train.

However, this carriage was different from the one she had been in before; it felt much smaller, and Elise was the only person left around her.

Looking at Elise, who was sitting opposite her and dozing off in her chair, Elena realized that she had entered the memories of another version of herself.
