Seeing Elise's insistence, Elena could only say helplessly, "Then you should take good care of yourself. Intelligence is not as important as your life."
"You know you care about me~"
"Who cares about you? I care about my ring. If you die, you'll just become the other side's trophy."
"When that time really comes, you'll probably have to rely on your own efforts to get it back."
Elena twitched the corners of her mouth. She would rather give up the ring than go against the Eternal Church, but... was that really the case?
She couldn't help but recall the burning church in her dream.
"Alright, I'm heading out now. I'll give you the day off. You can go find your sister to help you adjust the magic device, and also see if she has any new creations. If they're useful, I don't mind spending some money to buy them."
"Then you'd better get your gold coins ready, my sister is very powerful."
Elise smiled, then waved to Elena and walked out of the manor.
She arrived at the Eternal Church's residence by carriage, which was also a manor, though not very large.
This is also the only remaining influence of the Eternal Church in Seria, at least on the surface.
As soon as Elise reached the door, she was stopped by a knight in pure white armor. Elise said very politely, "I'm here to see Miss Rumia. Please let her know that I'm here to see her."
One of the pure white knights nodded slightly, then turned and went into the manor to report.
A moment later, he returned to Elise's side and said very politely, "The Holy Maiden invites you in. Please follow me."
"Thank you."
Following the pure white knight into the manor, Elise's eyes gleamed with barely suppressed excitement, like a young girl eager to see her lover.
The pure white knight led her directly to the door of a room, indicated that the saintess was behind the room, and then turned and left.
Iris gently knocked on the door, and Saintess Lumia's gentle voice rang out from inside: "Is this Miss Iris? Please come in."
As Iris pushed open the door and entered the room, her gaze was drawn to Rumia, who was sitting in front of the dressing table. Rumia was only wearing a thin nightgown, yet she did not inspire any thoughts of desecration. She looked as noble and holy as God's most perfect creation.
Seeing Elise's dazed expression, Lumia chuckled softly, "Miss Elise, what's wrong?"
"Miss Rumia is so beautiful, I'm a little stunned." After saying that, Iris subconsciously covered her mouth, and the embarrassment in her eyes was clearly visible.
Seeing this made Rumia want to bully Iris a little more.
"Thank you for your compliment. I didn't expect you to come so early, so I wasn't prepared. I'm so sorry."
"Yes, I came too early. After Miss Rumia accepted my invitation last night, I didn't even have time to..." At this point, Iris seemed to realize that she had almost revealed her secret again, so she quickly shut her mouth.
Rumia covered her mouth and chuckled. Although many people would react this way in front of the "Holy Face," this was the first time she had seen her so adorable.
"I'll change my clothes, I'll be done soon, please wait a little longer."
"Then, I'll go out and wait for you."
Watching Ellie hurriedly leave the room, Lumilia no longer cared about her image and revealed a happy smile. She had a feeling that today would be very interesting.
On the other side, Elise, who had left the room, leaned against the wall, her head lowered as if she were a little nervous. No one could see the faint glimmer of pleasure in her eyes.

After changing her clothes, Rumia pushed open the door and stood before Iris, a faint smile on her pure and beautiful face: "Sorry to keep you waiting, haven't you?"
Iris could clearly feel the effect of [Holy Face] on her, and she naturally showed a slight daze before snapping out of it and hurriedly replying, "No, it didn't take long. Compared to me, Miss Rumia was already very fast."
Rumia subconsciously looked at Iris's face. Her exquisite makeup showed that a lot of thought had been put into it. It didn't seem like she was trying to compete with others, but rather that she had put on makeup for an important date.
There were also some considerations regarding clothing; she could almost see Elise standing in front of the wardrobe last night, carefully selecting items but looking very conflicted.
She didn't ask Elise how much time she usually spent, but simply asked naturally, "Where are we going now?"
“Let’s start from Golden Street. The headquarters of the Eternal Church is nearby, and we can get there quickly on foot.”
"Okay, then thank you for being our tour guide today."
"No, it's not hard work."
Just as Iris was about to leave with Rumia, she seemed to remember something important and then said to Rumia with a serious expression, "Um, Miss Rumia, did you bring any bodyguards? Although Seria is safe, we can't guarantee that there won't be any accidents..."
"Don't worry, I'll protect you if anything happens." Rumia smiled and pointed to herself. "The church's saintess is very strong."
"I feel a little embarrassed, but I'm really not very good at combat," Elise said somewhat shyly.
Rumia noticed that Iris had a lot of magical artifacts on her, which made her seem very wealthy. Seeing this equipment, one could almost imagine her fighting style.
"By the way, before we set off, Miss Rumia, would you like to cover your face a little? You're so beautiful that you're too easy to be recognized."
The reminder, tinged with praise, pleased Rumia greatly. She gently shook her head: "It's alright, no one will recognize me. Only you can see my face today."
Elise was flattered, and even her fair cheeks flushed with a shy blush.
"Then, let's go." As if not wanting the other person to discover her shyness, Elise quickly turned around and hurriedly walked outside.
Noticing this, Rumia smiled slightly and easily followed.
After leaving the cult's residence, Elise quickly led her to Golden Street.
Normally, the number of customers at Huang Jinling's restaurant isn't very high, but as the Fireworks Festival approaches, the number of people coming to spend money here has increased, and a considerable portion of them are from out of town.
"Is this Golden Street? I heard that you can buy anything here as long as you have gold coins, is that true?"
"Of course it's not true, but you can indeed buy a lot of things here. If there's anything you want to buy, Miss Rumia, just tell me, and I'll take you there if I know of anything."
"it is good."
Rumia casually glanced at the shops lining both sides of the street. Magical technology was being used to its fullest extent here, with many shops displaying various goods using magical crystal screens in their windows. This was indeed very novel for Rumia, who was visiting the Empire for the first time.
In addition, there was Elise's meticulous introduction; whenever she showed interest, Elise would take her into the store to look around.
The experience was absolutely fantastic.
You could tell from the smile on Lumia's face that she was in a good mood.
The better her mood, the more profound a mark Elise can leave on the other person's heart under the influence of the mark of pleasure.
Although Rumia is a fifth-tier being, Iris's Pleasure Mark has little effect on her. However, if the mark is deep enough, even a fifth-tier being will still be affected by her, and may even be completely bewitched by Iris.

As long as Rumia poses no threat to her, Elise won't take any big risks to seduce the Holy Maiden of the Eternal Church, but if Rumia poses a threat to her, that's another story.
Anyway, she doesn't mind having another saint as a follower.
Before they knew it, the two had arrived at a towering clock tower, one of the tallest buildings in Seria. The top of the clock tower was a great viewpoint, offering a panoramic view of the entire city.
Many players leave comments on it during gameplay.
A breathtaking view lies ahead.
Noticing that Iris had stopped, Lumia asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"My friend told me that the view from this clock tower is beautiful, but I've never been up there. Does Miss Rumia know any magic like flying?"
Ordinary mages need to reach the fourth rank to use flying magical devices, as they only have enough magic power to fly at the fourth rank. However, as a follower of the Gluttonous King, Elise's attributes are much stronger than those of ordinary third-rank mages. If she wants, she can use flying magical devices at will.
However, she is currently just an ordinary third-tier mage, the kind with little combat power, so she can only rely on the Saintess.
"Of course, would you like me to take you up there for a look?"
"Is it okay?" Elise asked, a look of longing in her eyes.
When Rumia noticed that Elise was staring at her with that kind of gaze, she felt it was difficult to say no, especially since she didn't intend to refuse.
Rumia reached out and put her arm around Iris's waist, and pure white wings of light unfolded behind her.
Suddenly lifted into the air, Iris instinctively wrapped her arms around Rumia's neck, even closing her eyes in nervousness.
Rumia generally doesn't like physical contact with people, but Elise's actions didn't make her feel uncomfortable at all. She didn't even think much about it and was attracted by Elise's nervous appearance.
Although there were many people around, Rumia's conspicuous actions did not attract their attention, as if their existence was naturally ignored.
"Don't be nervous, we're already at the clock tower."
As Rumia's voice rang out, Iris slowly opened her eyes. After noticing the distance between herself and the ground, she hugged Rumia tightly again.
This brought their bodies close together.
At this moment, both of them could feel the softness of each other's bodies. Iris realized that she had lost her composure and subconsciously wanted to let go, but after shaking her a few times, she couldn't help but hug Rumia again: "Yes, I'm sorry, I think I'm a little afraid of heights."
Iris's voice brought Rumia back to her senses from the fresh morning dew and floral scent. She had initially wanted to say that Iris was too close, but instead began to comfort her: "It's okay, I'm here so you won't fall. If you're still scared, just hold me like this."
Upon hearing Lumia's words, a pleased smile appeared on Iris's lips.

Rumia didn't expect that after hearing her words, Iris really had no intention of letting go.
However, seeing how nervous she was, and since she didn't dislike her, Rumia didn't pay any attention to it.
With Rumia's gentle comfort, Iris finally calmed down, but the tension on her face was still clearly visible.
She carefully turned around, and the magnificent grandeur of Seria came into view—a sight she would never tire of, no matter how many times she saw it.
"Your friend is right, the scenery here is indeed beautiful," Lumia said happily, looking at the beautiful view before her.
"I've actually been wanting to come up and see this for a while, but I can't fly yet, and I'm a little afraid of heights, so I haven't been able to. Thank you so much this time," Elise said sincerely. (Seven)
"I should be the one thanking you. If it weren't for Miss Elise's recommendation, I wouldn't have found such a place."
Looking at Rumia's serene smile, Iris couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
This time, she wasn't pretending on purpose. After all, the other party was at the fifth level, and even with the mark of pleasure, she couldn't completely resist the effects of the other party's seduction.
However, it won't have a big impact; it just makes me feel a little better about her, nothing more.
Just then, Elise took out a crystal from her spatial ring. After infusing it with magic, the crystal emitted a faint glow and began recording the surrounding scenery.
"This is?"
Leading Dreams, Pipa, Second Brother, Sipping, Dam; Sipping
“A special, one-time-use magical image-recording device can capture this scenery,” Elise said, showing the image she had just recorded.
The crystal projected the surrounding scenery, as well as Iris and Rumia standing on the clock tower. Iris then handed the crystal to Rumia, saying, "I hope Miss Rumia will accept this as a souvenir."
"Thank you, I really like your gift." Rumia accepted the memory crystal without saying anything polite; she genuinely liked Iris's gift.
Rumia loves beautiful things, including beautiful scenery. Iris wants to leave herself in the scenery she loves to deepen her mark on her heart.
The two stayed on the clock tower for a while before Rumia brought Elizabeth back to the ground.
After the two landed, Rumia whispered, "Miss Iris, how long are you going to hold me?"
"Yes, I'm sorry." Iris hurriedly let go of her hand. In that instant, a perfectly timed hint of reluctance appeared on her face. Although it was only for a brief moment, it was enough for the Saintess to notice.
Leave the neighbor #Er die & Siqun
"Um, let me take you to try the desserts here, they're really good." With that, Iris led Rumia toward a dessert shop not far away.
Rumia followed Iris with a smile, noticing her somewhat flustered steps.
The dessert shops on Golden Street are great in every way, both the desserts and the ambiance are top-notch. The only downside is that they're expensive.
Fortunately, Elise lacks everything except money.
As a gamer, Elise also completed the game with Rumia as the protagonist. She has everything under control, including Rumia's preferences for food.
Judging from the way Rumia was engrossed in enjoying the delicious dessert, it was clear that she had been controlled by Iris, albeit only temporarily.
Noticing that Iris was staring intently at her, Rumia, though she knew why, still deliberately asked, "Why aren't you eating?"
"I just feel...no, it's nothing."
Seeing Iris shyly lower her head and start eating, Rumia chuckled softly and didn't continue teasing her.
After enjoying dessert and resting for a while, Iris then took Lumia to continue experiencing the local customs and culture of Seria.
Of course, Elise wasn't just taking her around aimlessly; she was intentionally or unintentionally leading Rumia closer to the Imperial Military Academy.
That was the territory of the Empire's third princess, Philomena.
Agents can sense each other as long as they are within a certain distance.
Although it seems that only Lumia is currently with her, Lumia's protector, the agent of the Eternal Church, will definitely always be near them.
Although the two agents are unlikely to start fighting as soon as they sense each other, they can at least keep the silver-armored knight in check.
If managed properly, Elise could even get them to fight at the right time.
This is a very important part of insurance, and it was one of the purposes of her trip.
