Elena, who was having breakfast, stopped what she was doing when she saw Elise and asked, "Are we going straight back to Castor?"
"I want Sera to come with me to Seria."
"Why do you suddenly want to go back to Seria? You know, Seria is currently under the surveillance of the Sorcerer God. Although you're not wanted, I feel like you'll definitely be targeted if you show up there," Elira said in a low voice.
"That's why I'm planning to bring Sera along. Even if something really goes wrong, we can escape if we can't win."
Elise smiled indifferently. Her main purpose was to verify something. She remembered that Estella had told her before that she could go back to Celia without being targeted.
Furthermore, although Servis sought out the Sorcerer God to resolve the problem, and the problem seemed to be solved, Elise knew very well that the problem was not solved, but had become even more serious.
It is evident that Servis must have tampered with the god-making ceremony to gain a portion of the authority of the Magic God. As for the extent of that authority, Elise is not entirely sure.
Even in one of her past lives, she and Estella had stolen His authority, so now that Estella is a reborn being, she should be able to do even better.
Elira had initially intended to offer some advice, but then she suddenly remembered the question Elise had asked her before, and she suddenly knew what Elise was going to do in Seria.
"Since you've made up your mind to go, you'd better be careful."
"Yes, I'm still very afraid of dying."
Upon hearing this, Elira chuckled dryly. It wasn't like she hadn't had some contact with Elise, the world-destroying witch. When it really came down to it, she was the kind of person who didn't care about her life.
She had seen Elise give her life for someone more than once.
This time, she only hoped that Elise wouldn't act so impulsively, because if she died, the world would be on the verge of destruction.
And it's the kind that accelerates.
“I’ll take them back to Castor first, and then I’ll come back and take you to Seria,” Elena said softly.
"Okay, thank you for the hard work."
After breakfast, Elena led everyone back to Caster, leaving only Elise, Sera, and Nora, who was not yet back, at Falling Star Harbor.
It's unclear whether Nora is addicted to hunting pirates or has had some kind of adventure at sea.
After all, as the protagonist, he is bound to encounter some special events no matter where he goes.
Standing outside the inn, Iris casually glanced around, trying to find Estella's familiar figure, but after searching for a while, she couldn't find her.
Estella, are you there?
"I'm here."
It was originally just a simple experiment, and Iris never expected that Estella would suddenly appear in front of her like this.
The passersby didn't even notice that there was suddenly an extra person there.
As if she could tell that Iris was just trying, Estella said calmly, "Did you call me over to have a private chat with me?"
"No, you're still too dangerous. I'm a weak woman and I'm a little scared."
Although she said she was scared, Elise didn't show it at all, but she was indeed a little hesitant to be alone with Estella for the time being.
Estella wasn't surprised by Iris's answer. She nodded gently and said, "Then come find me alone when you can truly trust me."
"I'm planning to go to Seria."
"Oh, then I'll go with you."
"Want to come together?"
"Do not."
After rejecting Iris's invitation, Estella disappeared from Iris's sight again, fearing that if she stayed by Iris's side any longer, she would lose control of herself.
Looking in the direction where Estella disappeared, Iris couldn't help but feel curious. According to the normal timeline, Estella, no matter how powerful she is now, is only around the fifth rank. How did she manage to possess such great power?
Could it be that, like Sera, it was brought directly from her previous life?
Just as Elise was lost in thought, Sera's voice rang out: "It seems like your attitude towards her has changed quite a bit."
"After all, if she really wanted to attack me, the previous battle would have been a good opportunity. But I don't know if this was her plan. In that situation, if she had really attacked me, you guys would probably have killed her."
Although the Archbishop had opened the Eternal Divine Realm, Elise felt that there should be quite a few people who could move around in the Eternal Divine Realm. Even a certain lazy girl could do it, so there was no reason why others couldn't.
If she hadn't lost that memory, she wouldn't be so conflicted.
However, the only way to regain her memories is to go to Estella, which reminds Iris of a meme she saw before she transmigrated that depicted a character trapped in a vicious cycle.
Volume 1: Chapter 680 Elise Wants to Go Fishing
"Awaited."
Elena teleported to Elise's side. She had just sent Elise back to Caster and had teleported back immediately.
Now that she's at the seventh rank, this level of teleportation doesn't take much to her liking.
"Actually, it wasn't that long." Elise smiled sweetly.
"Then let's go."
Elena grabbed Elise's hand and then activated her teleportation ability.
After several teleportations, a familiar and magnificent city appeared before the three of them.
Looking at the magnificent city gates of Seria, Elise couldn't help but sigh, "I thought I wouldn't have a chance to come back anytime soon, but I didn't expect this..."
"Let me go in with you."
"No need. If something unexpected really happens, Sera might not be able to handle it."
Upon hearing Elise's words, Elena clenched her fists. She had thought that breaking through to the seventh rank at her age was already very strong, but now it seemed that she was still too weak.
If she possessed the power to kill gods, then Elise wouldn't need to worry about so much.
Elena glanced deeply in Celia's direction, then said to Iris, "I'll head back now. Let me know if you need any help."
"it is good."
After Elena teleported away, a pleased smile appeared on Elise's lips. She was sure that her words had provoked the other party.
As someone who possesses Elise's memories, Sera clearly understands what Elise just did, and she can't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid of putting too much pressure on her?"
“If it were anyone else, they definitely wouldn’t be able to withstand this kind of pressure, but Elena is different…” A burning longing appeared in Elise’s eyes, “She is the protagonist, someone who can still turn the tide even in a seemingly hopeless situation. This level of pressure is not enough for her, far from enough!”
Elise even wondered if she should cause some kind of accident next to Elena, like being suddenly assassinated and near death, to provoke her and make things more effective.
The thought of Elena possibly feeling guilty and remorseful made Elise feel hot all over, and she even felt an urge to moan softly.
Seeing Elise's morbid reaction, Sera didn't try to persuade her. She knew very well why Elise had become like this; she herself... was also one of the culprits.
Considering this was the gate of Seria, Elise struggled to suppress her feverish urges and then walked in hand in hand with Sera.
Perhaps due to too many accidents during the previous god-making ceremony, the current entry checks are much stricter than before, and special magical devices have even been set up for detection.
However, none of these issues were a problem for Elise and Sera.
Elise simply unleashed her irresistible charm and successfully entered the city.
Looking around at the familiar streets, Elise seemed to be in a very good mood, and even pulled Sera along for a stroll.
At this moment, the two looked like outsiders visiting Seria for the first time.
Although they appeared very relaxed, both Elise and Sera were wary of the changes around them.
But they walked all the way to the vicinity of the manor without encountering any problems.
“I didn’t sense His watching me. It seems Estella did have an effect on Him.” Sera whispered in Elise’s ear, and even gently blew into Elise’s ear after speaking.
Elise was very familiar with this method of teasing others, but also felt somewhat helpless. Sera had never done this before, but there was nothing she could do about it, since her soul imprint was too powerful.
The fact that Ghasela didn't completely identify herself as Elise is proof enough that her spirit and soul are strong enough.
Standing outside the manor, after only a short time away, the courtyard inside had become overgrown with weeds, and many flowers in Elise's meticulously crafted garden had withered and decayed.
"My manor, it's become like this." Elise sighed with some melancholy.
For her, this manor was the place she knew best.
"Hopefully there won't be any uninvited guests inside. There are quite a few homeless people in Seria right now."
“There are some protective measures I left inside, so ordinary people can’t get in,” Elise said as she pushed open the door and stepped inside.
She didn't bother to repair the courtyard and buildings, after all, she didn't know if she could stay here for long. Her return to Celia was simply to verify what Estella had said.
The two walked straight into the house, where they could see that although there was some dust, the original furnishings were largely preserved.
After casually strolling around the first floor, Elise finally went up to the second floor.
I casually pushed open the door to my room, and what came into view was Elise's tidy room.
Wait, something seems wrong.
She carefully recalled the events of the day of the god-making ceremony, and her gaze naturally fell on her neat bed.
If she remembered correctly, because the maid wasn't around, she didn't make the bed after getting up and just threw her nightgown on the bed.
Now the bed is tidy, and the nightgown that was originally thrown on it has disappeared.
Noticing Elise's unusual behavior, Sera asked curiously, "Is something wrong?"
“It seems like someone has been in my room,” Elise said as she walked to her bedside.
Upon closer inspection, she finally found a silver strand of hair on her pillow. Although Eileen's hair was also silver-white, this length was clearly not hers.
If it's not Elena's hair, then whose is it?
As if she had thought of something, Elise carefully smelled the strand of hair, and a pleasant smile involuntarily appeared on her lips, as if she had suddenly discovered something interesting.
“Interesting~”
"Do you know who it is?"
"Yes, an acquaintance."
As Elise spoke, she took another nightgown from her dressing ring and threw it onto the bed.
"What are you doing?"
“They’re fishing; that’s bait.”
Sera tilted her head slightly. She didn't quite understand how a piece of clothing could become bait, but seeing Elise's mysterious smile, she knew that even if she asked, Elise wouldn't tell her.
"Where do we go next?"
"Let's find a place to stay for a couple of days. I want to see if I can catch that fish."
"it is good."
Volume 1: Chapter 681 The Resolute Miss Servis
Near the abandoned street, in front of an old mansion.
As Elise took out her key and opened the door, she said to Sera, "We'll be staying here for the next couple of days, but we'll need to clean it thoroughly before we move in."
The house has a teleportation array in its basement that connects to the dry well behind Elise Manor.
Although she often had people come to clean, she had been away from Seria for some time, and a thin layer of dust had settled inside the house.
"I'll do it." Sera rolled up her sleeves as she entered the room, found the tools, and got to work.
Before becoming a hero, she was a farmer's child, and such household chores were nothing to her.
Doing these things for the first time in a long time also brought back rare memories for Sera.
She remembered that after being forcibly taken away by the Eternal Church and becoming a hero, she was confused for a long time.
During that time, memories would frequently flood my mind, and I gradually became unlike myself.
Until I met her.
She remembered that she was helping a village defend against a monster attack, and she saved Elise from the monster's claws.
At the time, she didn't realize anything was wrong. Now, combined with Elise's memories, it seems that Elise was fishing back then, fishing for herself.
However, she was glad that she had taken the bait.
After all, without Iris, he might have long since become a puppet called the Hero.
Since that encounter, Elise has stayed by her side, becoming her anchor point, her only anchor point.
Whenever she went mad because of the spiritual imprint of other heroes, she always managed to pull herself out of it, even if it left her covered in wounds.
At the time, she was unaware of the immense price Elise had paid to remain conscious.
It wasn't until she gained Elise's memories that she discovered that she had actually killed Elise countless times.
