The moment Elena had that thought, Elise was already beside her, wrapping her arms around her neck.
Seeing that Elise seemed to be immersed in pleasure, Elena had no choice but to activate the one-time silence barrier generator, instantly concealing all the noise in the room.
……
In the middle of the night, Flora was awakened by an urgent need to urinate. She sat up unsteadily and then got up and left the room.
When she returned from the bathroom, she felt more awake.
Just as she was about to go back to sleep, she discovered that her older sister, who was supposed to be lying on another bed, had disappeared.
Flora blinked. Although she was a little curious, she guessed that her sister probably couldn't sleep and had gone out for a walk, so she didn't pay too much attention and quickly fell back asleep on the bed.
Time quickly passed to the morning of the second day.
Flora woke up early this morning because she had gone to bed early last night.
Just as she was getting up, she suddenly heard some noises coming from the balcony. She saw her older sister slowly returning to the room from the balcony.
Elena seemed surprised that her sister had woken up so early. She paused for a moment after entering the room before calmly saying, "Good morning."
"Good morning, sister." Flora greeted her before asking the question that had been on her mind: "Why are you wearing Miss Iris's nightgown when you come back from the balcony?"
"what?"
Elena glanced down and realized that she had put Elise's nightgown back on in her haste to leave.
Spicy balls!
Volume 1: Chapter 212 Traces of the Past
"Well, Elise just needed to talk to me about something and accidentally spilled water on me, so she lent me a set of clothes."
"That's it."
Flora was still a little groggy from just waking up. After hearing her sister's explanation, she didn't think much of it, rubbed her eyes, and went into the bathroom.
Seeing her sister's reaction, Elena breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, she was quick-witted, or rather, her sister was simple-minded. If it were anyone else, they would have known what had happened without even asking.
She tugged at her nightgown and said, "Why does it smell like Elise?"
Never mind, I'll keep it for now and return it to her later.
Before her younger sister came out, Elena quickly changed her clothes.
When Flora came out of the bathroom, she saw that her sister had changed back into her usual clothes suitable for activities.
"Well, I'm going to stretch my legs a bit nearby. If you need anything, just ask Elise."
"Oh." Flora responded softly, then sat down and began studying the creation of magical devices. Generally speaking, she didn't need to consult Miss Iris about anything.
Elena strolled around casually in the morning breeze. Although it was her first time in such a place, she had an extremely familiar feeling about it, as if someone had led her along this path.
In the dim light, she even saw Elise walking with her on this road, chatting and laughing softly.
"If only things could stay like this forever. I really want to be a good-for-nothing rich girl who knows nothing and just spends her family's money." Elena vaguely heard Iris's voice in her ear, her tone full of melancholy and helplessness.
Why would Elise say something like that? Why was her tone so negative?
Five abandoned dams, lacquered pheasants, and one spirit
She continued following the faint, elusive figure, and before she knew it, she had arrived at a sea of flowers.
This is a sea of flowers in the morning dew, Elise's favorite flowers.
Elena suddenly stopped, not because she was admiring the flowers, but because the two illusory figures she had been searching for had stopped there.
In a daze, she heard herself say that this kind of flower grows everywhere in her hometown, and that she could take Elise back to see it if she had time.
For some reason, Elena suddenly felt a pang of panic upon hearing those words.
But before she could observe any further, she discovered that the two figures had already disappeared.
Elena rubbed her eyes and looked around, but still couldn't see the two phantoms.
She didn't understand what was wrong with her. Was she already starting to hallucinate?
Elena sighed softly, and just as she turned to leave, she seemed to sense something and turned back to look at the distance.
She saw her own and Elise's phantom images again, but this time the two didn't seem as harmonious as before. She even saw herself pointing the dagger in her hand at the other person.
Even though it was just a phantom, Elena seemed to be able to sense the killing intent within it.
Just then, Elise's familiar voice suddenly rang out, not faintly, but clearly from not far behind her.
"So you were here. I was planning to bring you here, but you found this place on your own." Elise walked briskly to Elena.
Seeing her somewhat dazed expression, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes: "What's wrong with you?"
Ai Yinglina didn't speak. She looked again at the place where the two illusory figures had been, but no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't see them anymore.
"Is there anything interesting over there?" Elise asked, following the direction Elena was looking.
At first she was a little confused, but Elise soon remembered that this was one of the many places where she had died.
She remembered being chased by Elena all the way here, but she was too tired to keep running.
Thinking that the scenery here was quite nice, and that I could enjoy it before I died, I was stabbed in the heart by Elena right here. Speaking of which, I asked her to help me bury me here before I died. I wonder if she actually did that little favor?
As if recalling something, Elise unconsciously placed her hand on her chest, where she seemed to feel a slight pain.
After taking a deep breath, Elise readjusted her thoughts and then looked at Elena curiously: "How did you find this place?"
"I just came out for a casual stroll and ended up here."
"This is my secret base, I didn't expect you to find it so easily."
"Here, SouSUo: wine~% four temples∵." :崊'《俉Is there anything special about this place?"
Elise shook her head: "There are just more flowers and the scenery is prettier, that's all."
It does have a special meaning, but it's not really appropriate to tell Elena now. If I told her that this is one of my graves, and that she buried me herself, I don't know how she would react.
When Elise thought of this, a hint of excitement welled up in her eyes, and even her fair cheeks flushed.
Elena noticed something was off about Elise's expression and asked nervously, "What's wrong?"
"Thinking about what happened between us last night, I got aroused," Elise said casually.
Elena was completely taken aback by Elise's words and stood there stunned for a while before she could react, but she didn't know how to respond.
Suppressing her emotions, Elise smiled at Elena and said, "Let's go. These flowers will all wither soon. The kitchen should have breakfast ready by now."
"Oh."
Elena responded softly, then quickly followed Elise.
Before long, the two returned to the manor.
Elise noticed that Elena seemed somewhat absent-minded on the way back, and when she asked her what was wrong, Elena said no.
Couldn't Elise tell if she had something on her mind?
But there was nothing she could do if Elena didn't tell her.
"There's nothing much going on for the next few days, so you can relax a bit. Don't always rush to the training field whenever you have free time. You need to balance work and rest, okay?"
"I know."
Elena responded absentmindedly, still thinking about the two illusory figures she had seen earlier. She didn't know why the two people who had been getting along so well would suddenly change their attitude.
Wait a minute, the two phantoms I saw earlier seem to be different from the last phantom I saw, perhaps in terms of clothing.
Does it represent different timelines, or are there other possibilities?
Elena felt she needed to take some time to ask the version of herself in her dreams.

"I'm going out today, everyone is free to do as you please."
After finishing her meal, Elise left with her maid. Today, she was going to accompany the old man in her family to check out the vicinity of the magic crystal mine.
She at least told him that she discovered it herself, and that she needed to conduct an on-site investigation before she could proceed.
Upon hearing Elise's words, Elena instinctively asked, "Shouldn't I come along?"
As Elise's bodyguard, she thought back carefully and realized that she hadn't really fulfilled her duties as a bodyguard.
Perhaps Elise has powerful allies around her and doesn't need another one.
Thinking of this, Elena unconsciously clenched her fist under the table.
"No need, I just told you to get some rest."
She originally wanted Elena to come along, but seeing that Elena didn't seem to be in good spirits, Elise decided to let her stay and rest.
Hopefully, by the time I return, her worries will have been resolved.
After saying everything she needed to say, Elise, along with her little maid, went to find her old man.
At this moment, Count Byron was accompanied by several people, all of whom were his confidants. As a reborn being, Elise was certain of their loyalty and that there was no problem with bringing them along.
As Elise appeared, her confidants all bowed respectfully to her.
"Don't worry about these formalities, just follow me."
As Elise spoke, she stepped into the carriage at the front, which would take her to the edge of the forest.
Afterwards, Elizabeth led the group through the forest and arrived at the location of the magic crystal mine.
Elise stopped and turned to look at the group behind her: "This is it. We'll leave the investigation to the professionals."
After saying that, she walked to the side and waited quietly.
Earl Byron looked at his daughter with a face full of satisfaction. In the past, his daughter would never have entered a place like the forest, let alone led people through it.
Just then, the little maid took out a table, chairs, tea set, and even some snacks from her spatial ring.
Elise had already sat down, elegantly picked up the freshly brewed black tea, took a sip, and then invited her old man to sit down and rest.
Earl Byron smirked, then sat down at his daughter's invitation.
"How did you find this place?"
"Chasing the fleeing giant-toothed boar, we happened to catch up here and found the magic crystal mine while sorting through our spoils."
"It seems my daughter is quite lucky."
Elise smiled and didn't say anything, after all, she had discovered the mineral veins in this place when she was playing games before.
As a minor antagonist in the early game, after defeating Elise and then dealing with the Noyce family's power, you can become the lord of the Noyce territory through a series of quests.
Players can clearly see what's in their territory.
While Elise might not remember every detail of the entire continent, she certainly wouldn't forget the most interesting places.
As the territory that novice players can easily obtain, she knows its key points very well.
The investigation lasted for more than an hour, and just as Elise was about to fall asleep, there was finally some movement.
“My Lord, there really is a magic crystal mine here. Although we can’t determine the exact amount of the mine yet, it’s definitely not small,” one of his confidants said excitedly to Earl Byron.
"Okay, very good. Keep this a secret for now, and we'll think about how to develop this mine later."
After downing his cup of black tea in one gulp, Earl Byron turned to his daughter: "Elise, what do you think is the best course of action here?"
“Secret mining still carries the risk of leaks. It would be better to directly request that someone from above send someone to guide and supervise us. Although this would come at the cost of some benefits, the advantages would far outweigh the losses,” Elise said, revealing the method she had already devised.
The mining of Magic Crystal Phosphate is different from that of ordinary minerals. It carries a certain degree of danger. If the mining is not handled properly, there is even a possibility of a magical explosion. Moreover, with the supervision and guidance of the Empire, it can be largely prevented from being coveted.
Earl Byron nodded in satisfaction: "I think about the same thing as you. I'm very happy that you can think of so much."
After quickly cleaning up all the traces, the group returned the way they came and got back to the manor before noon.
As soon as they returned to the manor, Lumia came over and briefly told Iris about the information she had received that day.
Crossrod, one of the main cities of the Holy Kingdom, was attacked by an unknown powerful figure. It is said that a ninth-level being was injured and escaped, and large amounts of golden blood were found in the city.
After listening to Lumia's words, Iris asked curiously, "Has the church released any information about the mysterious powerful figure?"
"No, I doubt it will be made public. After all, the Church would never reveal something like being attacked by one's own hero. Even if they were to make it public, they would probably just fabricate an identity."
"It's pretty much what I expected, but I don't know which unlucky guy got hurt."
Even a ninth-tier demigod-level powerhouse was injured and forced to flee, so the probability of the Eternal God taking action next is extremely high. However, judging from the current situation, even if the Eternal God takes action, Sera should still have a chance to escape.
Elise has not been to the Holy Kingdom, and Wendy's insect nest cannot spread there for the time being, so Elise naturally has no way to contact Sera for the time being.
