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

"it is good."

During the few days that Count Byron was in Celia, Elise stayed with her elderly father.

After meeting Duke Thackeray on the night of his arrival, Elise learned from Vivian that her father had joined Duke Thackeray's camp, which was also Vivian's camp.

With Vivian helping to take care of him, there's no need to worry about the elderly father's safety.

Therefore, Elise was in no hurry to bring him into the Land of Hope.

Count Byron did not stay in Seria for long; there were still many things in the territory that required his attention.

However, before leaving, he gave Elise a considerable amount of pocket money.

Although Elise wasn't short of money, she still accepted all the offers, which put her father at ease.

After seeing her elderly father off, Elise began preparing to travel to Elena's hometown.

Elena's hometown wasn't too far from Seria; it took less than two hours by magic train and carriage combined.

It's a small town that mainly relies on agriculture. If you come during the harvest season, you can see fields of golden wheat, but if you come in winter, it's all covered in a blanket of white.

Elena sat in the carriage, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scenery outside the window. She had even forgotten when she last went back to her hometown.

Besides Elise, Flora also returned with her.

Including the little maid, there are four people in total.

After all, Elise was only with Elena for a day or two this time.

Elise leaned lazily against the carriage and asked with some curiosity, "Why did you suddenly decide to go back to your hometown?"

"I suddenly wanted to come back and visit, and I remembered what you said before, so I thought I'd see if you had time."

She still remembered the first time she awakened her memories, the memory of Elise dying in her arms. She also remembered that before Elise died, she said she wanted to go back to her hometown with her to see the flowers.

There aren't many rare flowers in her hometown, but the morning dew flower blooms exceptionally well.

Even in the harsh winter, the morning dew flower will bloom at dawn.

At this time of winter, few people come to the town.

So when Elise's carriage appeared in town, it attracted a lot of attention, with people speculating about where she came from and what she was doing there.

The carriage stopped in front of a small inn.

Although the two sisters have very distinctive hair colors, very few people can recognize them. After all, the two sisters moved to Seria when they were very young, and then their family suffered a change of fortune, eventually ending up in a deserted area.

It's perfectly normal that no one could recognize them.

After settling in at the hotel, Elena checked the time and then took Elise to the old site of her hometown.

It is called the old site because it was abandoned and collapsed soon after no one lived there.

Elena's family was just an ordinary family, and naturally there were no special relics left at the site of her old home, only some ruins.

"This is my hometown. I haven't been back for a long time. I never expected it to have changed like this."

"Do you need me to restore it for you?"

"No need. For me now, wherever Flora and I are, that's home."

"So, you've already made my manor your home? How dare you! As a guard, you dare to covet your employer's residence. Tell me, how should I punish you?"

Upon hearing Elise's words, Elena couldn't help but twitch her lips. Of course, she could tell that Elise was teasing her, so she didn't even bother to pay attention to her.

Just because Elena could tell doesn't mean Flora could. She stood cautiously to the side, watching the two who seemed to be in a slightly off mood. She couldn't understand why her sister and Miss Iris, who had such a good relationship, would still argue.

It's unlikely that, as depicted in the story, a quarrel led to a misunderstanding between the two, which then allowed a third party to intervene, causing the two people to drift apart.

Unbeknownst to her, Flora had somehow placed the two of them into a book she had read before.

Just as Flora was lost in thought, Elena finally noticed that something was wrong with her younger sister. She reached out and tapped her sister's head: "Come on, what are you still standing here for?"

"Oh." Flora, regaining her senses, quickly moved closer to her sister, gently tugged at her sleeve, and asked, "Sister, did you and Miss Iris have a fight?"

"No, why are you suddenly bringing this up?"

"Because the atmosphere between you two just now seemed a bit strange."

Elena reflected on her interactions with Elise. Although the two had a great understanding, to others it looked like they were bickering or arguing.

She scratched her head, looking somewhat troubled, and said, "You've misunderstood. In short, I didn't argue with her, so you don't need to worry."

"really?"

"if not?"

Volume 1: Chapter 384 Iris Wants to Try

Elena felt somewhat helpless. Her younger sister was too engrossed in the research of magical artifacts and seemed to have no social experience whatsoever, let alone the ability to read people's expressions or demeanor.

Elena was also troubled by this and didn't know how to solve the problem for a while.

Just then, Elena suddenly caught sight of Elise, and a brilliant idea flashed through her mind: why not let her younger sister stay with Elise for a while? With Elise's guidance and example, her sister's shortcomings should be improved quickly.

However, she quickly dismissed this idea. If she really let her younger sister stay with Elise for a while, she might turn into a second Elise.

One Elise was already a headache enough; she didn't even want to think about what would happen if another one came along.

Noticing that Elena suddenly shivered, Elise couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Given Elena's current strength and physique, even if the temperature was low, she shouldn't be like this, right?

Could it be that I absorbed too much of her vital energy before, causing her body to become weak?

It seems I can't continue using the succubus form to have in-depth conversations with Elena next time. I'll switch to the angel of pleasure form, or the elf form would also work. She hasn't tried the elf form yet.

Elena couldn't help but shiver again; she had just had another inexplicable bad feeling.

Before she could think any further, Elise pulled her away from where she was.

Elena originally intended to take Elise for a casual stroll around the town, since it was Elise's first time here and it was her hometown, so it would be a shame not to treat her well.

But she soon discovered that Elise seemed to be much more familiar with the place than she was.

She even knew exactly who lived in which house, leaving Elena momentarily confused about whose hometown this was.

However, as clever as Elena was, she quickly realized that perhaps Elise had lived here for a period of time during one of her previous rebirths.

That's the only way to explain why she's so familiar with this place.

Just as Elena was internally complaining, she suddenly noticed that Elise had stopped. Before she could ask, she sensed a familiar aura of death.

Elena looked up and saw Celia standing not far away, but this time she was not alone; her companion was with her.

When Elise and Elena noticed Celia, Celia and her group also noticed Elise's presence.

Suddenly, the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Upon seeing Elise, Celia immediately thought of her previous experience of being tricked by her, but she quickly remembered the information Elise had given her. She went to the two places Elise had indicated, intending to give it a try.

When they arrived, they discovered that the wicked woman hadn't lied to her after all; the remains of dragons and titans did indeed exist at those two locations.

The two remains have now been transformed into undead by her and are stored in her undead space.

In truth, she should thank her, but as a favorite of Cupid, Elise simply couldn't bring herself to express her gratitude.

"Long time no see! How's the map I gave you last time?" Cang

"It's alright, I guess." Celia couldn't bring herself to express her gratitude, nor could she respond to Iris's question with the same hostile tone she used to.

Fortunately, the god of death did not grant her an oracle to kill Elise this time, which is why she could still speak calmly in front of Elise.

"That looks great! Have you decided how you're going to thank me?"

"You were the one who stole my loot first."

"I only took one of your corpses, but I returned two to you. Shouldn't you thank me for the extra one?"

"Consider the extra amount as compensation. You tricked me, so giving me a set of remains isn't too much to ask, is it?" Celia's gaze lingered on Iris's body as she spoke to her.

She genuinely wanted Elise to become a corpse; she felt that Elise's corpse was perfect for her.

Elise had chosen Celia as the protagonist when playing games before, and she knew that Celia had some strange fetishes, so she said naturally, "Don't look at me like that. I won't become a corpse just for you."

Celia raised an eyebrow, surprised that the other person knew what she was thinking.

Although she truly desired Elise's corpse, in terms of combat strength, her side was at a significant disadvantage. She knew the strength of her companions; they were no match for the maids and guards surrounding Elise.

I have no idea where this person found these people. They are all younger and stronger than the last. They would be very powerful if they were to become corpses.

Flora was initially confused, but even with her poor ability to read people, she could tell that the gray-haired girl opposite her was an enemy.

Therefore, Flora, having realized what was happening, immediately began constructing the magic barrier.

Various magical artifacts kept appearing around Flora, quickly transforming the surrounding area into a small magical stronghold.

Seeing this, Celia couldn't help but twitch her lips. She knew how troublesome it was for the mages who built the fortifications, but thankfully, she had no intention of taking action. If she had wanted to, she would have done so the moment she saw Iris.

"It seems you're not planning to make a move."

"If I wanted to take action, do you think you'd still be able to talk so leisurely right now?"

"I'm a little curious, why are you here?" Iris looked at Celia with curiosity in her eyes.

She genuinely wanted to know why she had run into Celia in Elena's hometown; logically, Celia shouldn't have come to such a remote and impoverished place.

"I accepted a quest from the Adventurers' Guild to capture a cultist, and I chased him all the way here. But what are you doing here? Are you in cahoots with that cultist?" (Slips away)

"Tell me first, who does that cult member believe in? They might actually be in cahoots with me."

"He is a blood believer in the blood of the Blood King."

"That has nothing to do with me. I just came here to relax."

Celia had fought alongside Elise before, albeit briefly, but she knew Elise was a chosen one of Cupid and a favorite of the Gluttonous King. From what she understood, neither of them had a good relationship with the Blood King, so she didn't doubt Elise's words much.

"If I can help you find that cult member, how are you going to thank me?"

"Ok?"

Volume 1: Chapter 385 You're not interested in me, are you? 6

Celia looked at Elise with suspicion, wondering why Elise wanted to help her.

"Just tell me, do you want to know where that person is?"

"Tell me first what price I need to pay?"

"Of course, it's so you'll be grateful to me. Even if you can't say thank you, at least next time you see me, you won't ambush me without a word, right?" (Symplocos ni)

After hearing what Elise said, Celia felt that it made a lot of sense. After all, the god of death and the god of love are mortal enemies. The next time they met, he might send down a divine oracle, asking her to kill Elise, who was favored by the god of love.

But Celia always felt that things weren't so simple.

"If you want to know where he is, give me the details of that believer."

Celia hesitated for a moment, then took out a piece of paper and tossed it to Iris.

After glancing at the information on the paper, Elise also opened the system interface and activated the Mirror of Omniscience's search mode.

As the information was entered, Elise also learned the location of the Blood Believer.

She pointed to the distant mountains and forests and said, "He's in that direction. There's a cave over there; you should be able to find it easily. Just a friendly reminder, he's using magical beasts to create blood slaves, so you'd better be careful."

Upon hearing Elise's words, Celia did not hesitate and immediately led her people to turn around and head towards the mountains and forests.

Her companion whispered, "Is it really okay to just believe what she says?"

"She had no reason to lie to me."

She figured Elise wouldn't lie to her about something like this, since she'd been given that kind of information so readily last time. She was just a little curious about why Elise wanted to help her.

Moreover, her attitude towards him was strange. You should know that the god they worshipped was a mortal enemy, yet Elise's attitude towards him was somewhat kind.

Last time in the Endless Ice Plains, the other party clearly had the opportunity to keep her there, but didn't make a move on her. This made Celia feel that something was strange, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.

Shortly after Celia left, the sounds of battle erupted from the distant mountains, but they were brief and soon ceased. It was obvious that Celia had already dealt with the man.

Elena was also gazing in the direction of the mountains and forests. She asked with some curiosity, "Are you really just doing them a favor?"

"Why not?"

Looking at the smile on Elise's face, Elena had a feeling that this wicked woman was up to something.

However, it doesn't really concern her, as long as Elise doesn't set her sights on her or her sister.

"Alright, let's go, it's time to go back to the hotel."

In this remote town, there weren't any special activities at night, so everyone went to bed early, planning to go out to admire the flowers early the next morning.
