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

However, there was hardly anyone at Elira's mansion, and not even lunch was prepared.

Elise thought for a moment, then said to Wendy, "Let's go find a restaurant outside to eat."

"it is good."

Wendy never refuses Elise's suggestions.

Elira's mansion is located in an affluent area, with many upscale restaurants within easy walking distance.

Elise didn't want to go too far, so she simply found a restaurant nearby and sat down.

"Has there been any unusual activity from the Queen of Insects lately?" Elise asked curiously.

Wendy shook her head: "My mother hasn't contacted me since I didn't respond after she tried to contact me a few times."

"That's good, but you must keep a close eye on the situation at the ancient city ruins," Elise said seriously.

Since Longyuan encountered problems ahead of schedule, Elise has had to consider whether the Queen of Insects might break free prematurely. After all, her insect network coverage is already very high. If she cannot be dealt with before the Queen of Insects breaks free, then this world will soon become a giant insect nest.

"I know, you should be careful too."

Elise knew that Wendy was warning her about the Earth Goddess, and she hadn't forgotten the First Titan's earlier warning. She was even thinking about whether she should go to the Chaos Whispers to ask for a musical note or something.

After all, given her current state, she should be quite suited to incoherent ramblings, right?

Just as Elise was pondering the problem, the waiter brought out the dishes she had ordered.

Elise paused her thoughts, picked up her knife and fork, and said, "After the meal, I'll go shopping with you for some clothes."

She hadn't bought Wendy any clothes for a while, and Wendy seemed to only wear the clothes she bought. She remembered that during the last battle, Wendy's clothes were accidentally torn, and she had become very angry.

"I want clothes that smell like you, is that okay?" Wendy looked straight at Elise, her face showing absolutely no shyness.

"Of course... you can't."

Elise glared at Wendy, annoyed. Although she knew it was Wendy's little hobby, she thought it was a bit too perverted.

Although she doesn't really have the right to judge others.

Although Elise explicitly rejected Wendy's request, when the two went shopping for clothes, Wendy still imitated the description of acting coquettishly in the book, clinging to Elise's arm and starting to act coquettishly in a completely emotionless voice.

“Alright, alright, I promise you.” Elise muttered helplessly.

Volume 1: Chapter 585 I Want to Stay By Your Side Forever

If someone had been observing Elise and Wendy closely when they came out of the clothing store, they would have noticed that their clothes were different from when they went in.

The clothes that were originally on Elise are now on Wendy, while Elise has changed into a different outfit.

Looking at Wendy beside her, who had a rather happy expression, Elise said helplessly, "Is she really that happy?"

"Of course, you finally gave me clothes again."

"Remember what I told you, this is a secret between us, you absolutely can't tell anyone," Elise said seriously. She didn't want to be seen as a perverted nymphomaniac!

"Mmm." Wendy nodded, then followed closely behind Elise as they continued strolling around.

It wasn't until dusk that the two returned to Elira's mansion.

Seeing the two return, Elira couldn't help but ask curiously, "Where did you two go?"

"I just went out for a walk. Come to think of it, I didn't see you at noon."

"I had to go out for a bit." After Elaine sat down, she continued, "The Order faction attacked the people of War today, but I guess you probably didn't notice."

"You participated too?"

"Just to see if there's anything I can help with."

"It looks like the result should be pretty good."

"Yes, a small outpost of the war was destroyed, and all the war believers in it were buried there."

At this point, Elira seemed to remember something and asked curiously, "Speaking of which, do you know where the headquarters of the war is located?"

"Do you intend to take the initiative and end the war directly?"

"Yes, now that we have the advantage in maintaining order, I think it would be better to strike directly."

"Don't even think about it. The headquarters of the war is located in a separate space. Although I can bring people in, the God of War can directly interfere with the battle in that space."

Hearing what Elise said, Elira blinked involuntarily. She now understood why Elise hadn't chosen to take the initiative.

If the God of War could exercise his authority in that separate space, that would indeed be quite terrifying.

"What we need to do now is simply to find a way to stop the war, thereby interrupting His resurrection ritual."

"Okay, I was a little too hasty."

"It's not that I'm impatient. It's normal to have such thoughts when you don't know the truth."

Upon hearing Elise's words, Elira was about to echo her, but then she seemed to remember something and said, "Speaking of which, it seems that the Order isn't in a hurry. At most, they'll just eliminate some war strongholds like today."

Do you think she might have the same idea as you?

As soon as she asked the question, Elira felt it was unlikely. Could it be that the mastermind behind the Order was someone who had been reborn, just like her and Elise?

Even she didn't know what the war was really like, let alone anyone else.

"Who knows~" Elise chuckled lightly, seemingly not caring much.

Elira had a feeling that Iris knew something but just wasn't saying it.

Knowing that she wouldn't get an answer even if she asked, Elira didn't waste her breath and continued discussing other things with Iris.

……

A few days flew by.

After a period of cleaning work, Servis finally managed to get rid of all the guardians in the mage tower.

In order to clear out those frenzied undead guardians, she couldn't even count how many clones she had used up.

This matter should have been completed long ago, but the purple-haired girl kept chasing her clone. In order to avoid being found by the other party at the mage tower, she could only clear the mage tower while controlling her clone to circle around the other party.

The more clones of her opponent died at her hands, the more dangerous the purple-haired girl seemed to her.

It seems that the other party is gradually analyzing their own abilities, or rather, gradually analyzing the power of fate, through some kind of forbidden alchemy.

If the other party were to fully analyze it, she even had some doubts that they could find this independent space.

Fortunately, she finally finished clearing the mage tower. At most, she would have to let the enemy kill her once or twice more, which should be enough.

With that in mind, Servis summoned her clones again. One clone was placed near the Falling Star Harbor, while the other clone entered the Mage Tower.

“Although the guardians of the mage tower have been cleared out, don’t forget that it’s still very dangerous here. There are magical traps everywhere, so I suggest you be careful,” Elise said softly, floating beside Servis.

"Do you think I need you to remind me?" Servis gave a soft hum.

"I don't care about you."

"If you care about me, you will eliminate the influence on my soul."

“That won’t do. Without this connection, you’ll be too lonely. I want to stay by your side forever,” Elise said sincerely to Servis.

If someone else had seen that serious expression, they might have thought she was confessing her love to Servis.

Unfortunately, no matter how ambiguous Elise's tone was, Servis remained unaffected.

Although unaffected, Servis has been arguing with Elise more often than before. After all, Servis is still a person, and although she can suppress her own feelings and ignore Elise in some way, this method cannot last.

Inside the mage tower of Trass, all sorts of magical traps appeared one after another, and even Servis lost several clones before she could reach the top of the tower.

In fact, Elise had been reminding her all along, and she had been testing according to what Elise said, but some of those tests were not always effective. Her losses were mostly due to accidents that occurred because she did not listen to what Elise said.

This puzzled Servis, who wondered why the other party cared so much about her.

Logically speaking, shouldn't Iris be trying her best to prevent herself from seeing Truss at this point?

Thinking about those things now is useless, because she has already reached the top floor of the mage tower in Trass.

As Servis pushed open the heavy door, flickering lights suddenly appeared in the dimly lit top-floor hall, illuminating the entire space.

At the far end of the hall stood a stone coffin, in which, unsurprisingly, Trass lay asleep.

Just as Servis was thinking about how to wake the other person, the sound of a coffin being moved echoed in the silent hall.

A mummified corpse, completely shrouded in a golden mage's robe, slowly sat up, and icy blue flames ignited in his empty eye sockets.

Volume 1: Chapter 586 The Transaction

Servis watched the lich slowly crawl out of the sarcophagus with some wariness. Fortunately, the lich did not engage in battle with her upon meeting her, unlike other undead guardians. This was a good thing.

The lich silently glanced at Servis, a hint of surprise seemingly flashing within his icy blue soul flames.

At this moment, Elise, who was floating beside Servis, could clearly feel the lich's gaze on her.

It must be said that he was indeed a great sage who had a deep understanding of the soul, as he was able to notice her existence.

"Your composition is very complex." The lich's dry, desolate voice echoed throughout the hall.

The last time Elise heard these words was when she was communicating with Sloth in the deepest part of the Endless Icefield.

Elise bowed very politely to the lich, but didn't say much. It was Servis's turn to perform, and she also wanted to see if the other party had a solution to the problem.

Servis also heard the lich's words, and couldn't help but recall her previous battle with Elise. Various mixed powers were displayed on Elise's body, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe her as having complex components.

I have no idea how she did it.

Deep down, her curiosity about Elise intensified once again.

However, now was not the time to be curious about Elise. She looked at the lich respectfully and said, "Great Sage, I wish to make a deal with you."

"You want me to help you get rid of her?"

Servis was somewhat surprised, not expecting that the other party had seen through her thoughts at a glance: "That's right, as long as the Great Sage can help me resolve her influence on me, I will offer the Crown of Severance to help you break free from the constraints of the God of Death."

"You actually have the Broken Crown? Could you give it to me?" Elise floated beside Servis, her eyes gleaming with longing.

The Crown of Severance is a great item. Once you wear it, you can block the influence of the god you worship on yourself. If you are accidentally forced to worship a god in the game, you can use this special equipment to solve the problem, but it will waste an equipment slot.

These things are extremely rare. Elise only knows the locations of three severed crowns, and all of them are very dangerous places.

"What do you think?" Servis smirked. Was Elise, that wicked woman, getting too caught up in her role? Did she really need to explain their relationship?

Elise knew, of course, that she couldn’t get Servis to give her the item just by saying a few words, but that didn’t stop her from acting cute and charming.

The lich watched the two interacting and felt a sense of déjà vu, as if she were also part of their play.

"Your problem is difficult to solve in a short period of time."

Hearing the lich's words, Servis lost interest in paying attention to Elise. The fact that there was no way to solve the problem in a short time meant that there was a way to solve it, and she was curious about what that way was.

"I don't know if you've ever heard of soul alchemy. If you can find someone who possesses soul alchemy, perhaps she can help you solve this problem."

Servis twitched her lips, and the image of the purple-haired girl flashed through her mind. If she were to ask her for help now, she would probably die without even knowing how.

That person is a madman, there's no way to communicate with him, otherwise she wouldn't have gone to all this trouble to find Tesla.

As if sensing Servis's predicament, Truss continued, "Or, you can completely let go of your soul's defenses and merge with her soul completely. In that case, you will possess a part of the other's soul's qualities, thereby erasing her influence on your soul."

"However, this method is very risky. If you are not careful, you will become another version of her."

"How could that be? I only separated a very small part of her soul. If we were to merge, she wouldn't be affected at all," Elise said with a hint of grievance, like an innocent girl who had been misunderstood, making one feel sorry for her.

However, her performance had little effect on either Truss or Servis.

In particular, Truss, as a great sage with in-depth research on the soul, believed that Servis's soul was already enveloped by a terrifying behemoth. If that was just a small part of the soul the blonde girl mentioned, then what kind of strength would her complete soul possess?

For some unknown reason, the soul flames in Tesla's eyes suddenly intensified.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm not interested in men." Elise shyly hid behind Servis, only peeking out half her head and cautiously looking at Trass.

Even the great sages of ancient times fell silent for a moment when faced with such a situation.

"Are there any other methods besides these two?"

Completely letting go of her soul's defenses and fusing with Elise's soul would be too risky for her.

"You can try to find the legendary Soul Stone. Wearing that stone will greatly enhance your soul strength, thus preventing you from being affected by the other party. However, I don't know where that thing is."

“I know that,” Elise’s voice suddenly rang out.

Despite having a clue, Servis felt no joy whatsoever, because she knew Elise would never tell her such important information, and even if she did, she wouldn't believe it.

"There is also the simplest way: seek the help of the gods. They can perfectly solve your current problem."

Servis also knows this method, but there is no good alternative at the moment.
