"Oh dear, I've been sleeping with you here all day, and you still refuse me."
"Don't say things that could be misunderstood!" Elira glanced around nervously, afraid that someone might overhear.
"You don't want other people to know about this, do you?"
Having already guessed what Elise would say, Elira gave up struggling. Anyway, it was all in the future; maybe after a while, Elise would forget about it.
“My memory is excellent; I generally don’t forget things. If you have the ability to hypnotize, you can try it on me. What if I fall under your hypnosis? Then, not only will you make me forget this matter, but you can even make me do some outrageous things.” Elise’s tone was full of doubt, like a succubus’s whisper.
Elira did indeed possess that ability, but considering Elise's behavior in her memories, she didn't think her hypnosis would have any effect on Elise.
Volume 1: Chapter 766 Miss Elira with a Firm Will
"This is so boring." Seeing Elira giving up, Iris couldn't help but mutter, "I know it's difficult to hypnotize me, but what if you succeed? Don't you want to do whatever you want to me at all?"
"There's no 'what if.' Even if you do succeed, it'll definitely be something you're faking." Elira had already seen through Iris's little scheme and was certain she wouldn't be swayed by the other woman's advances.
To avoid continuing the discussion about hypnosis with Elise, Elira chose to change the subject: "I have some ideas about fusion, but I need some time. Let's try it when I'm ready."
"Okay, but you'd better be careful, or you'll be overwhelmed by my memories."
If she's lucky, she might end up like Sera before, seeing herself as Elise; if she's unlucky, she'll just have a mental breakdown.
"Yes, I'm very afraid of dying."
After uttering this classic quote from Elise, Elira was somewhat dazed. Elise feared death, yet longed for it; such contradictory thoughts could not possibly exist in one person.
Perhaps, what she longed for was that kind of eternal liberation.
Just then, Elira suddenly sensed the little maid's presence. She silently withdrew her hand from massaging Iris and said, "Thank you for today. I'll try to restrain myself a bit lately."
"Although I know you probably won't listen, I still want to remind you not to be too curious about my past, or you'll get stuck and never be able to get out."
"Hmph, my will is absolutely firm!"
After saying that, Elira turned into a puddle of liquid and disappeared in front of Iris.
Just after Elira disappeared, the little maid came to her mistress's side and said, "Miss Elira seems a little afraid of me."
“I heard her say that you killed her more than once.”
"It feels like I don't have any impression of it."
The little maid had no idea how many people she had killed, but she hadn't forgotten a single one of those who had hurt her mistress.
Elise ruffled the little maid's hair: "It's alright, she probably doesn't care anymore anyway."
Elise guessed that after Elera witnessed her memories, she might think the little maid had been too gentle.
After all, based on her understanding of the maid, unless it was someone who had hurt her, the maid usually acted very cleanly and efficiently, to the point that people didn't even feel any pain.
"Let's go back for dinner. We need to eat well to have the energy to work tonight."
Hearing her mistress's rather explicit words, the little maid blushed slightly on her fair cheeks.
……
After a night of pleasure, the next morning arrived.
Elise hadn't planned to get up early today, but she received a message from Xiaoxi on the Bug Network early in the morning. The bugs that had been monitoring the area near Dragon Castle discovered that Ignaviel had slipped away from Dragon Castle again.
If nothing unexpected happens, they should be preparing to come and find her.
Under normal circumstances, if Elise just stays at home and waits patiently for a while, the dragon princess will come to her on her own.
However, when Ignaviel ran away from home last time, she was attacked by the evil dragon Nix. If nothing unexpected happens, the probability of her being attacked again is quite high.
You must understand, Ignavill is a crucial bridge to Dragon Castle, and Elise can't bear to see her get hurt.
So after receiving the message, Elise immediately got out of bed.
Sensing that her mistress had gotten up, the maid returned to the room. On the maid's slender, fair neck, there were still traces left by Iris last night.
With the maid's current physical strength, she could even heal such marks in an instant, but those were marks left by her young mistress, and she couldn't bear to leave them.
"Miss, didn't you say you were going to sleep in today?"
"That was my original plan, but there's been a small problem. Please help me change my clothes first."
"Yes."
While the maid was helping her wash and change, Elise had already contacted Lily and the two-headed evil dragon sisters through the insect network. With these two ninth-tier beings, protecting Ignavill shouldn't be a problem.
By the time Elise was ready and came downstairs, Lily had already teleported over from the Land of Hope.
However, Lily seemed to be still half asleep, yawning constantly.
What did you do last night?
"You haven't forgotten that I've been in the Emerald City lately, have you? I haven't even had a proper rest before you called me here to work. You have to make it up to me!"
"Okay, after I'm done with this, you can have whatever compensation you want."
Elise was not entirely unconcerned that Lily might make some unreasonable demands, given Lily's personality. However, she was still somewhat looking forward to seeing what kind of tricks Lily would pull.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, and hearing Elise speak to her like that, Lily's fair and delicate cheeks flushed slightly. She said somewhat flusteredly, "Um, why don't you tell me why you called me here so early?"
"The dragon princess has run away from home, and I was going to play the hero and rescue her."
"You've already offended so many people, and you're still planning to offend others?" Lily muttered softly.
"Don't use those kinds of words that are easy to misunderstand. There must be a reason why I did this."
Although Elise did have a legitimate reason, Lily clearly didn't believe her, her expression filled with skepticism.
The two-headed evil dragon sisters, however, seemed to have some complicated emotions at this moment.
Noticing their emotions, Elise smiled and said, "Don't overthink it. It's Dragon Keep's loss that they expelled you. After some time, Dragon Keep will understand this."
“Yes.” Aurora and Breel nodded seriously.
……
Antia, the City of Miracles.
So, Elise and her group emerged from the dimly lit alley.
With the arrival of summer, the number of tourists visiting Antia has increased significantly compared to previous years.
Looking at the bustling crowd on the street, Lily couldn't help but mutter, "What's the dragon princess doing here?"
"On my way to Castel, I saw that this place was very lively, so I came to check it out."
"Why do you seem to know her so well?"
Elise's lips curled up slightly. When she played the game, she had pursued Ignaviel countless times. Not to mention her personality, Elise knew exactly what color underwear Ignaviel liked to wear.
And it wasn't just Ignavier; Lily was the same way.
Book 1: Chapter 767 The Most Loyal Believer, Elise
"Why do I feel like you're looking at me strangely?" Lily subconsciously covered her chest with her hands. Although her relationship with Elise could no longer be described as intimate, every time the other looked at her with a meaningful gaze, Lily felt as if she had been stripped naked.
"Don't worry about the details. More importantly, this is probably your first time in Antia, right? Take this opportunity to explore the area."
Are you sure now is the time to do these things?
"Anyway, so far, there haven't been any problems." Several barely visible tentacles wriggled on the surface of Elise's eyeballs as she kept a close eye on Ignavil's movements.
This time, Ignavier was smarter. She took out a secret treasure from the Dragon Castle's treasury that could conceal her presence. Even a ninth-tier being would be unable to sense her movements unless they saw her with their naked eyes.
Fortunately, Elise had the Bug Network, and she had previously given Ignavil a piece of jewelry made from a bug egg, which was essentially a locator. This is why Elise remained calm and composed.
"I don't think I'll need to play a vampire this time, right?" Elira muttered softly.
"No need, but if you have such needs, I can arrange for you to act in a play."
"Then forget it."
Considering that Ignaviel would remain in Antia, it would be difficult for those hiding in the shadows to make a move, so Elise directly activated the mark of desolation.
As the mark of desolation was activated, she heard the whispers of the Lord of Desolation, calling upon Elise, his faithful follower.
If an ordinary person heard His whispers, they might have gone mad, but even before becoming His chosen one, Elise was able to ignore His murmurs, let alone now.
She said in a devout tone, "My esteemed benefactor, your humble believer is searching for a way to break the seal, but the priest of the sea god seems to have noticed my actions. I am being hunted down and hope to receive your help."
The Lord of the Wasteland's murmurs gradually turned angry, and Antia trembled, especially among the people in the lower levels of Antia.
The fish and monsters in the water seemed to sense a deadly threat, swimming quickly and trying to escape the area.
Along with the violent tremors, Elise also felt a massive desolate power surging from the bottom of the water into the mark of desolation.
Although she blocked out the perceptions of those around her, she did not block out those of her own people, so Elira and the others naturally heard Elise's 'devout' prayer.
Once the tremors subsided, Elira cautiously asked, "Are you sure you're okay with what you're doing?"
"It's alright. The Lord of the Wasteland is an Outer God. During the War of the Gods, he couldn't wait to get a share of the spoils and didn't even have time to establish his own faith."
"Then, He was attacked by the sea god and the eternal god, and as you saw, He was torn in two and sealed in two different places."
"If nothing unexpected happens, I should be His only believer in this world."
This is why Elise was able to get something out of the Lord of the Wasteland with just a few words.
The immense power of desolation, if entirely sacrificed to the trash can, should greatly enhance her physique; if not sacrificed, it could be converted into three demigod-level attacks.
This can be used to save your life.
Elise thought she should have come earlier to take advantage of the situation, but it's not too late now.
After granting power to his loyal followers, the Lord of the Wasteland was once again suppressed by the Eye of the Sea God, and even the whispers that had been lingering in Elise's ears disappeared.
Antia returned to calm, but the people on the street still looked shaken, and some were even trying to leave the city.
Besides these ordinary people, the sea god priests who were hiding in Antia also took action, trying to find out the reason for the Lord of the Wasteland's uprising.
Elise even saw a seventh-tier sea god priest walk past her, but failed to realize that Elise was the culprit.
The scattered desolate power had long been devoured by Elise with her invisible mouth; the King of the Trash Can was quite adept at this.
Perhaps sensing Elise's disrespect, the Gluttony Brand on the back of her hand began to flicker.
"Alright, alright, when we get back I'll have Teresa cook you a big meal. If you keep making a fuss, it won't be the same anymore."
With just a simple sentence, the bulimia stigma returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
Elira, standing to the side, was dumbfounded. That was the King of Gluttony! She had once been a follower of the King of Gluttony. This god was not so easy to serve. She had been tormented by hunger for an unknown amount of time, and several times she was so hungry that she almost ate herself.
Then look at Elise, who seems to have never been affected by binge eating. Moreover, because of the bulimia stigma, she can even indulge in high-calorie foods without worrying about her weight.
It's true that comparing yourself to others can be incredibly frustrating.
……
Despite the strange occurrence in Antia, Ignavier did not leave immediately. Instead, she reluctantly departed Antia only after savoring the local delicacies.
Seeing this, Elise couldn't help but sigh. All she could say was that this was what a heartless foodie was like.
Just after the dragon princess left Antia, Sally couldn't help but ask, "Should we follow her?"
"Keep following at the maximum distance. If nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected is going to happen soon."
As Elise said, Ignaviel was attacked shortly after leaving Antia.
Moreover, she was attacked by three evil dragons, one of which was the old dragon Nyx, and the other two were also evil dragons.
One of them is a ninth-tier undead dragon that has transformed itself into a lich, while the other is an enormous eighth-tier dragon that looks like it is made of countless rocks.
Although the opponent appeared to be only at the eighth rank, the dragon's body was mostly made up of various rare minerals, and in terms of physical strength alone, it was comparable to a ninth-rank being.
Ignaviel, who was only at the seventh rank, was ambushed by three evil dragons, but did not suffer any serious injuries.
Since the attack, after returning to Dragon Castle, she immediately asked her mother for more scales and then ransacked the treasure vault. Now, her survival skills are top-notch.
This is why she dared to stay there and eat and drink to her heart's content after the accident in Antia.
Volume 1: Chapter 768 Don't Bite Randomly
"How did you find me?" Ignavier transformed into human form, which reduced the area she needed to defend and made her more agile.
"You're so smart, why don't you try to guess?" Knicks stared intently at Ignavier, pondering how to quickly take her down.
According to its plan, the sneak attack should have at least seriously injured the opponent, but who knew that it would sense the aura of a demigod on Ignavil as soon as it made a move.
Their attacks were all blocked by those scales.
"Although you have your mother's scales, how many attacks can they withstand? Why don't you come with me obediently, and perhaps I can spare you some suffering."
