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

Although Vivian's legs have now returned to normal, she still hasn't given up on the wheelchair. Elise understood her meaning and carried her downstairs.

At this moment, everyone in the manor was already seated around the dining table, waiting for the arrival of their hostess, Elise.

As Elise entered the restaurant, Wendy seemed to smell something, then glanced silently at Elise and Vivian, a hint of curiosity flashing in her light green eyes.

Vivian's head maid, Mara, seeing her mistress's tired appearance, asked with concern, "Miss, are you alright?"

"It's nothing," Vivian said. She didn't explain, nor could she. She simply ate her dinner silently, trying to process the fragments of memories she had awakened earlier and extract useful information from them.

However, those fragments of memory were all about her scheming and power struggles with a certain nobleman. Although they contained important information, they did not contain the memories of Elise that she wanted most.

Perhaps, the only way for Lin to regain her memories is to continue engaging in some pleasurable activities with Elise.

"I was thinking about it this afternoon. The battle will definitely be fierce. Shouldn't we do something to cover up the noise?" Elena asked Iris, voicing her inner doubts.

"No need. They've already set up a silence barrier generator in the dungeon to prevent any noise from getting out. There won't be any sound coming out."

"Why do you seem so familiar with that place, like you've been there before?" Eve asked. She hadn't been able to get complete information about the place when she was investigating, but Elise had easily provided all sorts of detailed information.

Lu QUN Liu Ba Jiu Wu Ba Ling Si Lin Qia

Si said, "I have my own intelligence network. If you have any questions, you can ask me. However, my intelligence is not free. Please be prepared to pay the price."

Eve opened her mouth as if to speak, but hesitated for a moment before finally not asking the question she most wanted to know.

……

As night fell, nearing midnight, even in the bustling city of Seria, only the taverns and brothels remained, still emitting sounds.

At this point, Elise had already led everyone to the city's sewers.

Of course, Vivian was unable to move around easily, so she didn't come along. However, her head maid and her butler came along, both of whom were sixth-tier experts.

The sewers smell disgusting, but what's even more disgusting is the intricate network of routes; you can easily get lost if you're not careful.

But Elise felt right at home when she arrived, easily leading them through the area.

In the blink of an eye, led by Elise, the group arrived at a heavy iron gate.

This is the secret exit of the Govis Trading Company.

Elise knocked on the door, and then the observation peephole opened, revealing a pair of wary eyes.

However, the wariness in his eyes gradually turned into blankness and then fanaticism after seeing Elise, and the heavy iron door was opened from the inside without any effort.

Eve looked surprised. She could tell at a glance that the guard's mental state was not right. He was not an inside man, but more like he had been brainwashed.

"Now you can easily charm even a fourth-tier being?" Elena glanced at the charmed burly man and began to think about how long she could last if she were charmed by Elise.

"It wasn't exactly easy, but..."

As a third-tier being, she would have to pay a high price to seduce a fourth-tier being, but now that Vivian is helping her, she can be a little more unrestrained.

Elise originally wanted to ask about the situation inside, but before she could speak, Wendy had already figured out the situation inside through her senses.

Winged Emu = [zero 彡 Emu Phosphorus Flag 俬? Scar 囷〨:〩

This is the power of an Earth Priest; as long as one is connected to the earth, one is within the Earth Priest's domain.

Elise can do this too, but her range of perception is very small.

"I've figured out the distribution of people inside. Should we make our move now?"

"Try to take out as many enemies as possible at once without causing a big commotion. The others will join the battle as needed."

"Oh."

Wendy nodded obediently, then scratched her wrist with her fingernail.

As the crimson blood fell to the ground, it quickly wriggled and formed insect eggs. Soon after, the hideous insects hatched from the eggs and scattered in all directions.

Seeing this, Eve's expression also began to turn strange. She even began to doubt whether it was the right choice to ask these people for help. First brainwashing, then insects—this might be some kind of evil cult.

But thinking about these things now seems pointless, at least their methods all seem quite reliable.

“I thought you would solve the problem using the Earth Priest’s method,” Elise said, somewhat surprised.

"That would cause too much noise."

While the two were talking, the insects that Wendy had split off from had already seeped into the lounge through various gaps and began to burrow into the bodies of the resting guards.

The guard, whose body had been burrowed into by an insect, trembled slightly before falling silent.

Volume 1: Chapter 71 I'm Talking About the Bearman

"These elves are beautiful, but they're a little too thin."

The guards stared greedily at the elves locked in the cells, their greed undisguised.

The elf girl, being watched, could only curl up helplessly, her deep green eyes filled with despair.

"Scott, stop staring at those elves. A drop of their blood is enough to buy your life."

"That's not necessarily true. I heard there will be a large reward after this job is over. I'll go to the abandoned street and try out the orcs then."

"Fox-person or cat-person?"

“Those are all too skinny, I’m talking about the bear-men.”

The dungeon fell into a brief silence, but just then, Scor suddenly heard footsteps.

He looked towards the stairwell and saw a familiar figure staggering down the stairs, as if drunk.

Seeing his companion's familiar face, Scout felt relieved: "Kent, isn't it time for the changing of the guard yet? Why did you run down here?"

As he spoke, he walked toward his companion, worried that the other might fall down the stairs.

But as he delved deeper into his thoughts, he suddenly realized that something seemed amiss.

It's so quiet.

His companion was usually very talkative, especially when he was drunk, but when he got close, he couldn't smell any alcohol, and the other person's expression didn't seem quite right.

Just as he was about to notify another companion, his companion named Kent suddenly pounced on him, and Scout was caught off guard and knocked to the ground.

Fortunately, he was on guard and was only pushed down.

Just as he was about to call for help from another companion, Kent suddenly opened his mouth, and several strange tentacles invaded his mouth.

Upon witnessing this scene, another guard instinctively activated his magic device, sending several magical arrows flying towards Kent in an attempt to save Scout.

However, Kent was incredibly agile, twisting his movements to dodge the magic arrows and retracting the tentacles that had extended from his mouth.

Scout lay on the ground with his mouth agape and his eyes glazed over. Then his body began to convulse, and he quickly stood up unsteadily, just like Kent, and began to attack his remaining companions.

Upon witnessing this scene, most of the elves imprisoned in the cages huddled tightly in a corner, but some observed the situation outside the cages, trying to find a glimmer of hope.

Similar events also occurred in this dungeon at the same time.

The sixth-tier magic knight on night duty immediately realized the enemy attack. Just as he was about to sound the alarm, a graceful figure slowly passed through the stone wall and walked in front of him.

"Who are you?" The moment he saw the woman, the Reforging feature on his magical armor lit up, signaling that he was ready for battle.

To be able to see through the opponent's true nature even when he was only at the sixth level, and to only realize it when the opponent appeared in front of him, meant that this person was definitely at the seventh level or above.

Without a doubt, the existence of the elves was discovered.

Wendy had no habit of answering her enemies' questions. Her hands twisted and deformed, turning into sharp scythes, while rock spears emerged from the surrounding stone walls, stabbing at her opponent.

In this confined space, dodging this series of attacks was extremely difficult, and the biggest problem was his feet, which were somehow covered by rocks, as if they were connected to the ground, making it impossible for him to move.

The rock spear pierced the magical armor, creating ripples.

However, the ripples of magic were ineffective against Wendy's scythe, leaving a deep mark on the magical armor with each strike.

In no more than thirty seconds, the Magic Knight estimated that he would die under the strange woman's scythe.

As a sixth-tier powerhouse, even when facing a seventh-tier being, he couldn't just sit and wait to die. The core of his magic armor radiated a strong magical light, and a huge impact instantly shattered the surrounding rock formations. The sword energy formed by magic power continuously cut through everything around him.

This is one of the core abilities of his magical armor: Blade Storm.

If someone of the same level were caught in the Blade Storm, they would either die or be crippled, but unfortunately, he was facing Wendy, a being close to the eighth level.

However, in such a confined space, although Wendy dodged the opponent's attack, the hem of her skirt was still torn by the sharp sword energy.

Wendy's eyes turned cold as she noticed the minor tear on the hem of her skirt.

……

"That's really efficient."

Watching the guards slaughtering each other, Elise strolled leisurely across the battlefield, a scene that made her feel as if she had returned to the time of the insect swarm outbreak in the game.

<起O覇丝留?q】q箘

After these parasitized insectoids kill their targets, they will parasitize the corpses again, and the parasitized corpses will soon transform into insectoids and join the battle.

Adding in the other combat forces on Elise's side, describing this battle as one-sided seems too conservative.

Elena wielded several daggers, pinning a guard who was attempting a sneak attack to the ground before turning to Elise and asking, "Where do we go now?"

“I’m in the ‘forward group: Yi Linglin Liu’∨ Jiu Yi± Road, go to the very bottom.”

At the very bottom of the dungeon is an alchemy laboratory.

To ensure that the production of the elixir of immortality in the laboratory would not be affected, a silent barrier was set up. Elise estimated that the people inside were probably unaware of what was happening outside.

Ellie, leading Elena, easily arrived at a heavy iron gate. Then, using the same trick as before, she got the people inside to open the gate, and a strong smell of blood wafted out.

Several busy alchemists stopped working and looked at Elise and Elena with strange eyes.

In this dungeon, they had never seen such a beautiful woman, except for elves; she was even more beautiful than the elves.

Could it be a distinguished guest invited by His Highness the Prince?

Amidst the puzzled gazes of the others, Elise smiled and activated the Mark of the King of Gluttony.

The invisible maw opened and devoured the alchemists in no time, leaving not a trace behind.

Elise was surprised to find a pale-faced elven girl tied to a chair in the laboratory. Her wrists had been cut and bound to the armrests of the chair, and blood was slowly flowing into a container below through the grooves of the armrests.

The other person was nearly unconscious and showed obvious signs of excessive blood loss.

Upon seeing Elise, she opened her mouth as if to say something, but no sound came out.

"If you have anything you want to say to me, you can say it after you recover," Elise said, pouring a bottle of hematopoietic potion into the girl's mouth.

However, her body seemed to be failing, and the hematopoietic drug was not working well.

Elise frowned, then took out a leaf from the World Tree and put it in her mouth.

Although this thing was precious, she believed that Eve would definitely not mind exchanging a leaf for the life of one of her kind, and she could just ask her for reimbursement later.

After the World Tree leaf was stuffed into the elf girl's mouth, a burst of rich life energy erupted instantly, and her previously exhausted body began to recover, her pale cheeks regaining their color.

Volume 1: Chapter 72 The Secret of the Elixir of Immortality

Am I dead?

The elven girl slowly opened her eyes, and what came into view was the cold, still-like stone chamber behind the willow curtain, which made her heart tighten involuntarily.

But then she heard a soft voice say, "Not yet."

When Elise, who was sorting through her spoils, heard the elven girl's voice, she turned around and walked towards her.

Upon hearing the voice, the elven girl instinctively showed a wary expression, but when she saw the blonde girl walking towards her, her expression relaxed, because it was she who killed those people before she lost consciousness.

"Are you a devil?" the elven girl asked instinctively, looking at the blonde girl.

She prayed to God countless times, but God did not answer her. When she prayed to the devil, the blonde girl appeared before her.

Although she didn't understand why the other party would ask such a question, Elise clearly wouldn't let this opportunity pass. A dangerous smile curled at the corner of her lips: "That's right, I am the devil. Have you thought about what price you want to pay?"

"My everything..." the elven girl murmured softly.

"Why did you take it so seriously when I was just saying it casually?" Elise ruffled the elven girl's hair. "I'm not some kind of devil, and I don't want anything from you. Someone just asked me to come and save you."

"And you're lucky. If I had arrived any later, you would probably be beyond saving."

Elise leaned closer to observe the elven girl. She had long, dark green hair, pale purple eyes, and a somewhat youthful appearance. She was probably around the same age as Eve, around a hundred years old.

She wasn't getting so close to see if the elf girl was pretty; she was checking on her condition. The World Tree Leaf had worked very well; the girl had recovered from the brink of death.

"You're doing pretty well right now, you should be able to get up and walk on your own, right?"

"Ah."
