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

Page 73

Lily, pale-faced, slumped in Elise's arms. She struggled to get up, but failed several times.

Just then, Elise took a World Tree leaf from her spatial ring and put it into Lily's mouth.

Lily had originally wanted to ask Elise what she had done, but as the powerful life force surged in, her complexion gradually regained its rosy hue.

"Don't lick my fingers right now," Elise teased, feeling the warm, wet sensation on her fingertips.

"Who...who licked it? They just didn't want to waste their life energy." Lily snorted softly, then slowly stood up. A shimmering emerald light appeared, and the originally petite and cute Lily transformed into someone more mature.

From an innocent and adorable little girl to a mature and sophisticated woman, Lily's true form was revealed, though she couldn't maintain it for long due to certain reasons.

It's a pity that her clothes were specially made, so they didn't feel tight or burst open.

Feeling Elise's gaze, Lily had a feeling that the other woman seemed to be thinking about something strange.

However, now is not the time to dwell on these things; she has more important matters to attend to.

"what happens?"

“A ninth-tier expert has made a move,” Lily said, her brows furrowed.

"Logically speaking, the Ark is quite a distance away from here, so the aftershocks of the battle shouldn't have reached here, right?"

Lily shook her head: "It wasn't the aftermath of the battle, but rather a ninth-tier attack that landed near the Forest of Sanctuary. It's possible that during the battle there, the attack was deflected here in some way."

If the World Tree were at its peak, it wouldn't be easily shaken, let alone a ninth-tier attack, or even an attack from a god. But the World Tree is now on the verge of withering, and this attack has directly caused many cracks in its protection. It now needs to be repaired.

Upon hearing Lily's words, Elise also realized the seriousness of the matter. If nothing unexpected happened, it was probably when the ninth-tier expert attacked the Ark that the Ark's magic reflection device was triggered, which caused the Forest of Sanctuary to suffer an undeserved disaster.

No, it's hard to say whether this is an undeserved disaster. Elise knows very well how unlucky she is. You know, she was even killed by the aftershocks of the protagonists' battle. Who knows, this undeserved disaster might have been caused by her.

"I have important things to take care of right now, so I can't be with you."

"Take me with you to see it."

After a moment's hesitation, Lily grabbed Elise's hand, and in a daze, she and Lily found themselves in the outer area of ​​the Sanctuary Forest.

You can see a huge crack not far away, through which you can see the endless ice field outside and feel the biting cold wind coming from the crack.

There were many elves around, constantly casting spells in an attempt to repair the rift.

The cracks are indeed being repaired, but the repair process is very slow.

Fortunately, this place is relatively remote, and generally no one will approach it. Otherwise, someone would see that several huge cracks have appeared in the pale, endless ice plain, and the Shelter Forest can be seen through the cracks.

With Lily's appearance, many elves showed joy, but some looked at her with worry.

After appearing here, Lily did not speak. A bright green mark appeared in front of her, a mark that resembled a lily.

As the mark appeared, a faint floral fragrance and an incredibly rich life force instantly filled the surrounding area.

H is the mark of the goddess of life.

The cracks at the edge of the U-shape began to repair themselves rapidly, but as the cracks healed, Lily's face grew paler and paler.

"Don't you have any World Tree Leaves here?"

"Yes, but there aren't many left."

Q originally had a lot of World Tree Leaves in the Forest of Sanctuary, but those leaves were preserved from ancient times and are now almost used up.

"There are still many cracks; you can't hold on."

"We'll see how it goes when the time comes."

"Then I'll help you, but don't get your hopes up too high." Elise placed her hand on Lily's shoulder, and then began to use the power of the Earth Goddess's followers to convert magic into life energy and inject it into Lily's body.

Feeling the life energy that Elise had infused into her, Lily's eyes lit up with a hint of surprise, but she soon realized that this energy was like a drop in the ocean for her.

But at that moment, Elise shouted to the elves beside her, "Come here, I can convert the magic within you into life energy."

The four elves looked at each other, but one of them, whom Elise had rescued from the dungeon, immediately went to her side without hesitation.

Without hesitation, Elise activated the Gluttony Mark, devouring all the magic power in the other's body. At the same time, Lily also felt the life energy that Elise had poured in instantly increase significantly.

The other elves, noticing this, also came over.

At this moment, Elise felt like she was a transit station, constantly absorbing the magic power of those around her, and then converting the absorbed magic power into life energy to inject into Lily's body.

With their numerical advantage, Lily's condition didn't deteriorate to the point where she would need to use the World Tree Leaf.

As soon as the rift was repaired, she immediately took Elise to the next rift.

After repeating this process several times, the two spent most of the day finally repairing all the cracks.

Although Elise served as a transit point, Lily still used three World Tree Leaves to barely avoid being drained in order to repair these rifts. Without Elise, she probably would have used double-digit amounts of World Tree Leaves.

After repairing the last crack, she collapsed into Elise's arms, exhausted. Her mature and sophisticated demeanor transformed back into that of a pure and adorable little girl.

Lily's face was pale and her brows were furrowed, as if she were experiencing some kind of pain that most people could hardly bear.

Seeing this, Elise sighed softly and said, "Should we use another one?"

"No need, I just need to rest for a bit." Lily nestled tightly in Elise's arms, and it took her a while to relax a little.

"Thank you," Lily's weak voice whispered in Elise's ear.

"Is there any more practical way to express my gratitude?"

"I'll take you to the collection tomorrow and let you choose one item."

"The Elven treasury..." A lot of related information flashed through Elise's mind, and it seemed that there were indeed some good things that she could use. She smiled and said, "Then let's put it that way."

Volume 1: Chapter 143 I'm in a great mood right now

"Miss!"

The little maid rushed towards Iris. When the Forest of Sanctuary trembled earlier, she ran straight to the library, but when she arrived, she didn't see her mistress.

It was only after asking the administrator that I learned that the young lady and Lily had left.

Although she knew that her young mistress would be safe with Lily, she still waited until now.

Seeing Elise's somewhat weak appearance, the little maid nervously moved closer to her and carefully examined her, looking as if she wanted to lift up Elise's skirt to check.

Knowing that the maid wouldn't feel at ease until she had checked her over, Elise stood quietly in place. Only after the maid confirmed that she was alright did she reach out and ruffle the maid's hair: "Don't worry, your young lady will definitely be fine."

"Mmm." The little maid showed a blissful expression and rubbed her hand against her mistress's palm.

"So, what happened that caused the tremors in the Forest of Sanctuary?" Elena asked curiously. She was by the pool when the tremors occurred, and she was almost thrown into the water.

Elise didn't keep anyone in suspense and recounted the whole story.

After listening to Iris's story, Rumia also showed an excited expression: "I didn't expect the protection of the World Tree to have weakened to this extent."

If she were still in the Eternal Church and knew about this information, she would probably immediately organize a force to break through the Forest of Sanctuary. But now her position is different; she is now Elise's dog.

Thinking of this, Rumia stared intently at Iris. Compared to her usual self, the weakened Iris gave off a pitiful feeling.

She really wants to cherish him right now!

Rumia's gaze was too direct and too intense; even without turning around, Iris could feel it. However, she ignored it and simply said lazily, "It's getting late. Everyone, have something to eat and get some rest."

After saying that, she turned her gaze to Wendy's clone. Although she had created a lot of insect nests in the outside world, within the protection range of the World Tree, even with insect nests as relay stations, Wendy's consciousness probably could not be transferred to the World Tree's range.

Seeing that Iris looked tired, Rumia leaned closer and asked, suppressing her excitement, "Master, would you like me to give you a massage?"

"Okay, give me a leg massage." Iris leaned lazily against the sofa, her legs crossed and gently swaying in front of Rumia's eyes.

Upon seeing this, Rumia couldn't contain her excitement any longer. She knelt down in front of Iris and carefully helped her take off her shoes.

Upon seeing this, the little maid pouted and leaned close to Elise, saying, "Miss, I can give you a massage too."

"Then you can massage my shoulders."

"Okay~"

The little maid, who was initially a bit upset, instantly beamed with joy upon hearing Elise's words. She immediately went behind Elise and reached out her little hands to massage her shoulders.

Elena smirked and said, "You seem to be enjoying this."

"If you're envious, you can come over and give me a hand massage~"

"I thought you meant you wanted them to massage me."

"If you can convince them, I have no objection."

Elena then felt the disdain in their eyes.

She shrugged at the dream, then said, "It's not that I don't care," and that she was going to fight another version of herself in the dream.

Back in her room, entering a dream, Elena looked at her other self and said, "I want to ask, did Elise ever give me a massage? If so, I'd like to experience that memory."

"Yes, you can try it if you want. As long as you can last for five minutes tonight without dying, I will give you the chance."

Holding onto another version of yourself for five minutes is no easy feat, but this time Elena gritted her teeth and agreed.

It's only five minutes, right? She's determined to hold on and show her other self!

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Elena woke up from her dream, and unlike her usual state of mind, she seemed particularly comfortable after waking up today.

Because she successfully held onto her other self's hand for five minutes, she naturally entered that memory.

It was a very peaceful memory, a memory of Elise going back to her hometown with her. There was no fighting or killing in the memory; the two of them just stayed peacefully in that small village.

They go out for a walk every day and water the flowers. Although they bicker occasionally, it's more like a habit between them. Elise gave her a massage because she lost a bet.

Recalling the other person's reluctant yet obliged expression, Elena couldn't help but laugh.

But for some reason, she just couldn't bring herself to laugh. Whenever she tried to laugh, the image of Elise dying in front of her would involuntarily appear in her mind.

A soft sigh echoed in the room. Elena slowly got up, pushed open the door, and walked out of the room.

Just as she was about to go for a walk nearby, she bumped into Elise, who was coming out of her room.

She looked at Elise with some surprise and said, "You got up so early?"

"You went to bed too early last night." At this point, Elise seemed to notice something and walked up to Elena, saying, "Why do you seem a little down?"

"How could that be? I'm in a great mood right now." She had already experienced Elise giving her a massage in her memories, so how could she not be in a good mood?

"Tough talk."

Elise had spent a considerable amount of time with Elena, and she knew her habits and how Elena behaved in different moods perfectly well. She wondered if Elena had recalled some unpleasant memories.

Logically speaking, Elena should only remember her memories from her previous life, right?

If it's a memory from a previous life, then the only thing that would make her regret it for the rest of her life is that he died in front of her.

If she can recall more than just her past life, then it's hard to say.

However, it seems unlikely.

"Come for a walk with me."

"Can I say no?"

Can I not pay wages?

Elena knew Elise would say this, so she quickened her pace to catch up with her.

Stepping out of my residence onto the street, I saw that although it was still early, there were already quite a few elves walking around.

You can see that these elves all have a melancholy look on their faces; the tremors in the Forest of Sanctuary yesterday have clearly had a great impact on them.

"Haven't all those cracks been repaired?"

"Although the rift has been repaired, the World Tree is in a worse condition."

Ellie led Elena to the World Tree, which was already on the verge of withering. The World Tree was now even more droopy, and the few withered yellow leaves that were still on the tree had disappeared.

Elise estimates that the World Tree will completely wither in less than a year.

This might be a good thing for Vivian.

Volume 1: Chapter 144 Alois

"You came for a walk so early in the morning, it seems like yesterday didn't affect you much."

A clear, childlike voice rang out behind them, and Iris knew it was Lily without turning around.

Although Lily's face was still full of energy, her pale complexion made her look sickly, indicating that yesterday's accident had had a significant impact on her.

"Yesterday had a pretty big impact on both you and this tree. Why didn't you stay in bed and run out so early in the morning?"
