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

Hearing her words, Elena couldn't help but twitch her lips. But then again, she remembered that the Elise in her memories was also very knowledgeable about the Holy Kingdom. She had also heard Elise talk about the customs and culture of the Holy Kingdom in her memories.

She was becoming increasingly curious about what role she was playing in Elise's unknown experiences.

It will probably be like this now, right?

Volume 1: Chapter 353 Unexpected Gain

"The first time, the master's first time..."

Compared to Elena, who was still deep in thought, Rumia seemed rather carefree and even said some strange things.

Elise glared at her irritably, then raised her hand and shot out a bolt of lightning.

Even though she was tingling from the electric shock, Rumia didn't forget to give a thumbs up.

The playful noises from the carriage added a touch of liveliness to the otherwise quiet road.

Although it wasn't far from Morton to Farah, it still took Elise and the others almost a day to travel by carriage, and by the time they arrived, it was already getting dark.

Fortunately, it seemed that the city was not on guard against the Empire, and Elise and her party entered the city without any effort.

The Holy Kingdom has a strong religious atmosphere, and clergy of the Eternal Church can be seen everywhere in the city.

Unlike kingdoms with numerous religions, the Holy Kingdom has only the Eternal Church.

While cultists also exist in the Holy Kingdom, they are much more well hidden than those in the Empire or Kingdom, and are generally difficult to detect unless they actively cause trouble.

However, in the Holy Kingdom, the most dangerous group is not the cultists, but the fanatics of the Eternal Church.

Just as Elise was reminiscing about the past, the little maid's voice rang in her ears: "Miss, we've arrived at the hotel."

"it is good."

Although Farah is a border city, it is also a major gateway to the Empire, so it is much more bustling than ordinary border cities, especially with many merchants coming and going, including some from the Kingdom.

Although it is currently a time of war, on the Holy Kingdom side, one can still see the people of the Empire and the Kingdom living together in a relatively harmonious manner.

Elise entered the room that had been prepared, and then lazily stretched her body. After a day of bumpy travel in the carriage, she really felt like her body was about to fall apart.

She slowly walked to the balcony of the room. By this time, the sky outside had completely darkened, and in the border city of Fazhou, there were also specks of light.

In the Holy Kingdom, there are some very practical minor divine arts. As long as one believes in the Eternal God, even an ordinary person without talent can borrow His power.

For example, the Light spell is one of the most commonly used divine spells.

All you need to do is pray sincerely to the God of eternity, and the gentle light will last all night.

This is a situation that can only be seen in the Holy Kingdom.

After all, it is within His protection. If they leave His protection, ordinary people will not be able to use those minor divine spells.

"Miss, what are you looking at?"

"Do you see that?" Elise pointed to a brightly lit street not far away. Although it was some distance away, the little maid with excellent eyesight could still see the lively scene.

"I see it! Is there anything special about it?" The little maid asked curiously, standing on tiptoe to get a better look.

Seeing the little maid's little actions, Elise's lips curled into a slight smile. As expected, the little maid was just too cute, so cute that she wanted to hold her in her arms and cherish her.

Perhaps sensing the somewhat intense gaze from her mistress, the little maid, though unsure of what her mistress was thinking, moved closer to Iris.

Iris didn't stand on ceremony and immediately hugged the little maid, pressing her weight onto her.

Although the little maid looks thin and weak, her physical strength is now somewhat superhuman since the Devourer absorbed Leon's power last time.

Even if Elise's weight increased tenfold, it would still have no effect on the little maid.

"That's Farah's night market. If you're free after dinner, you can go and have a look around there."

"Aren't you going, Miss?"

"Of course I'm going!"

Although Elise could probably guess what kind of things were in that place, she knew that if she didn't go, the little maid definitely wouldn't go with her either.

“Then I’ll go with you, Miss,” the maid said without hesitation.

"Ah."

After a short rest, Elise and her group had dinner at the hotel.

The food quality in the Holy Kingdom is very average, or rather, people don't have a strong desire for gourmet food.

After dinner, Elise led her group out.

She had originally planned to take the little maid out for a walk, but seeing that Elise was going out, Elena, as her guard, had to follow. After all, even though it was a border city, she had heard Elise say in her dream that this place was still somewhat dangerous.

As for Rumia, it goes without saying that since Iris has gone out, she certainly wouldn't stay in the hotel alone.

As a former saint of the Eternal Church, Rumia's disguise has become even more sophisticated.

Even if she swaggered down the street, she still wouldn't attract anyone's attention. She was like a servant with no presence, quietly following beside Elise.

Look at everything from a different perspective.

She started her journey from here when she went to the Empire to investigate the condition of the ancient city ruins.

Although she was indeed a saint back then, she didn't have much freedom; she couldn't even go out for a walk if she wanted to. Unexpectedly, she is much freer now.

All of this is thanks to Miss Elise.

Thinking of this, a fervent glint flashed in Rumia's eyes.

On their way to the night market, Elise and the others encountered Farah's patrolling knights.

However, none of these people noticed Rumia's problem, so naturally they couldn't have noticed Iris's problem either.

Before long, led by Elise, the group arrived at the night market.

This is arguably the liveliest place in Farah at night, attracting not only merchants from the three major countries but also many merchants from smaller countries or remote regions.

"Take a look and see if there's anything you want."

Just then, Elena quietly moved closer to Elise and whispered, "Don't you have good taste? Is there anything worth buying here?"

"Let me see." Elise activated the system's vision, and all sorts of things around her, as well as the names of the people around her, appeared in her field of vision.

Elise had only glanced at it casually, but to her surprise, that glance led her to what she was looking for.

The pages of the Book of the Soul.

Since she asked Sally to bring back a page last time, she hasn't deliberately looked for other pages. After all, she hardly needs the Book of Souls anymore. The book is currently in Rumia's hands, used specifically for her disguise.

However, since she had come across pages of the Book of Souls here, she naturally wanted to see if she could get her hands on them.

Volume 1: Chapter 354 The Illness Is Quite Serious

"Did you find anything?"

"Okay." Elise responded softly, then pointed to a stall not far away and said, "There's a page on that stall. Go buy it for me, and I'll reimburse you for whatever it costs."

Although Elise is also very good at bargaining, if we're being honest, Elena, as an adventurer, is more skilled in this area.

Most importantly, Elena loves gold coins and wants to spend as little money as possible, so letting her go is definitely no problem.

"Is there any reward?" Elena subconsciously tried to bargain with Iris, and then she felt the other's meaningful gaze.

Elise even licked her lips at Elena, making her meaning quite clear.

Sensing Elise's deeper meaning, Elena shuddered involuntarily. Without mentioning any reward, she quickened her pace and headed towards the stall.

In less than a few minutes, Elena returned to Elise's side and handed the pages of the book to her.

Before returning to the Book of Souls, no one could discern anything amiss with the pages of the Book of Souls; it was simply a piece of paper that couldn't be damaged no matter what.

After getting the pages, Iris casually handed them to Rumia, who was still with the Book of Souls.

Because the current Book of Souls still imprisons the soul of the Faceless One. Although the Faceless One didn't have any powerful skills in the early stages, his faceless abilities were quite good for disguise, and Elise still can't bear to replace him.

Of course, the reason she was reluctant to replace her was because of Rumia. If she could find a replacement, Elise would probably find an opportunity to replace the Faceless One's soul.

Later, with Elise's guidance, Elena found some bargains at the night market. Although she didn't earn much, she was still very happy.

Back at the hotel, Elise sat on the bed and opened the system interface.

One of her purposes in coming to the Holy Kingdom was to find Sera. Now that she has entered the Holy Kingdom, she can use the power of the Mirror of Omniscience to check Sera's location.

As Elise typed Sera's name into the search bar, she quickly felt her field of vision being stretched infinitely high, and then rapidly zoomed in on a certain location.

The Eternal City, the capital of the Holy Kingdom, and the headquarters of the Eternal Church.

Sera, who was lying in bed with her eyes closed, seemed to sense something and suddenly opened her eyes, staring straight at the ceiling.

As she prepared to unleash the world-destroying power, Ru Mo gathered in her hand. Just as she was about to unleash it upon the unknown gaze, she seemed to sense something, and her originally sharp eyes gradually softened.

That familiar feeling... it's Elise!

No, if she is Elise, then who am I?

A look of doubt and confusion appeared on Sera's face. She was wondering who was really Elise, herself or the owner of that gaze.

Meanwhile, Elise, who was observing Sera through the Mirror of Omniscience, also discovered that Sera was using her image at this moment, not only her face but also her figure was exactly the same.

It's obvious at a glance that he's quite ill.

She also noticed that Sera had spotted her, but did not make a move.

It seems we need to find her soon to alleviate her symptoms, but then again, how did she end up in the Eternal City? That's the headquarters of the Eternal Church.

Is Sera planning something big?

After a moment's thought, Elise quickly connected the dots to the war between the Empire and the Kingdom, which had now reached a fever pitch and the number of casualties on both sides was rising steadily.

After some time, the God of War will be revived due to the sacrifices of war, and the artificial gods on the Empire's side have already collected a large number of souls.

The Eternal God would certainly not stand idly by. If I were Sera, I would very likely take advantage of the Eternal God's departure from the Eternal City to wreak havoc here.

Actually, as long as the plan is well-thought-out, there shouldn't be any problems with this kind of thing. But Elise is worried that Sera won't be able to calm down immediately after her outburst, and she'll be in trouble once the God of Eternity has free time.

It seems I really have to make a trip to the Eternal City.

Fortunately, the Eternal City also has its own people.

Having ended the voyeuristic gaze of the Mirror of Omniscience, Elise reopened her eyes.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the little maid standing beside her, staring at her face.

He was staring at her lips rather than his own face.

Elise raised an eyebrow and then said, "Am I pretty?"

"Beautiful." The maid said subconsciously, then realized that her mistress had opened her eyes at some point.

She immediately looked away in a fluster, then explained, "Miss, I just saw you were resting with your eyes closed, so I didn't disturb you. I definitely didn't secretly watch you..."

At this point, she felt like she was about to expose herself, so she quickly shut her mouth.

It's only when Elise is around that the little maid shows such a cute side.

If it were just a peek at her mistress's beautiful face, the little maid wouldn't be so nervous. But as she was looking, she suddenly focused her attention on her mistress's lips, and even imagined what it would feel like to kiss them.

Elise noticed this too, though it was a bit of a shame that the little maid hadn't taken advantage of her closing her eyes to rest and secretly kiss her or anything.

Maybe next time I should try flirting with her in a different way.

For some reason, Elise had thought of something interesting, and a pleasant smile appeared on her lips.

"It's getting late. We'll set off for the Eternal City tomorrow."

"Ok."

The little maid wouldn't ask her mistress why she wanted to go to the Eternal City; she was her mistress's personal maid, and whatever her mistress said went.

Just after the maid changed the bed in the room to her mistress's bed, she noticed that her mistress seemed to be taking off her clothes.

The young maid, upon seeing this, widened her eyes in shock: "M-Miss, what are you doing!"

Iris didn't stop what she was doing because of the little maid's shock. Instead, she said seriously, "I heard that you sleep better if you don't wear clothes to bed at night, so I thought I'd give it a try."

The little maid instinctively wanted to stop her mistress from doing that kind of thing, but the words she was about to say remained unspoken. She just stared at Iris with her cute little face flushed.

Seeing that the maid didn't stop her, Elise's smile became even more delightful.

Volume 1: Chapter 355 The Eternal Call

"To be honest, it's a little embarrassing that I'm the only one like this~"

As Elise spoke, she glanced at the little maid, her meaning quite clear: she wanted the little maid to accompany her.
