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

"How have I changed? If I had to say I've gotten bigger, then I've definitely gotten a little bigger."

Upon hearing Elise's words, Lily subconsciously turned her head to look, even unconsciously comparing the size to the size in Elise's memory. However, she quickly realized what she was doing and then hurriedly looked away.

Why do I need to make those meaningless comparisons?

It feels like being with that wicked woman, Elise, makes it easy for the conversation to veer off course.

After calming herself down, Lily finally spoke up: "You used to be so busy, just like when you first came to the Forest of Sanctuary. No matter what you did, you always had a purpose in mind. Once you achieved your goal, you wouldn't stay for even a minute longer."

"But now, you seem a little more relaxed than before."

How do you know that what I'm doing right now is also for some kind of purpose?

"So you're just a little more relaxed than before."

Lily had been secretly observing Elsa for several days, and even she, a genius among geniuses of the elven race, found Elsa's rate of progress terrifying.

I have no idea where Elise found such a ruthless character.

And she didn't know if it was just her imagination, but every time she secretly observed Elise's situation, she always felt as if there was another pair of eyes watching her.

As a ninth-tier powerhouse, she was extremely perceptive of herself. She tried to investigate the source of the gaze, but ultimately did not get the result she wanted.

She had some doubts, wondering if Elise was secretly observing her through the World Tree. She felt that if it were Elise, she might actually do something like that.

"Perhaps it's because my strength has increased, so I'm not as strict with myself as before," Elise said with a sigh.

In her opinion, this rebirth was the smoothest of all her rebirths.

In the past, she barely had time to do anything else because she was focused on the main characters she was betting on. But this time it was different. Many of the main characters she had bet on before had memories of their past lives to varying degrees.

It's much easier to bring them into my camp than before.

With so many main characters around her, Elise felt very safe.

However, Lily's words also reminded her that although her side now has many protagonists and seems to have a promising future, because of this, the development of this world has deviated from her understanding. No one can say for sure what will happen next, so she must seize the time and continue to improve the strength of her faction.

Are you still very busy right now?

Hearing Elise's concern for her for no apparent reason, a wary look flashed in Lily's eyes. She instinctively felt that Elise was up to no good.

"It's alright. Hope City's development is on track now, and I don't usually need to do anything. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here."

"Just tell me directly, what do you want me to do?"

"To be my personal maid."

"now?"

"I'm planning to go to the Endless Ice Plains in a couple of days."

Hearing about this familiar place, a hint of nostalgia flashed in Lily's eyes, and then she asked curiously, "Why would you go to such a snowy place?"

“I want to go see the deepest part of the Endless Ice Plains.” At this point, Iris seemed to remember something, and then asked Lily, “Have you ever been to the deepest part?”

"No, but the deeper you go into the Endless Ice Plains, the more dangerous it becomes; it's practically a forbidden zone."

At this point, Lily suddenly realized why Elise had so readily agreed to be her personal maid as a thank you—it turned out she was after Lily's abilities.

Seeing Lily's look of sudden realization, Elise's face also broke into a pleasant smile: "You can't go back on your word."

"I was thinking, don't you have a ninth-tier being by your side?" Lily muttered unhappily, never expecting that she, so clever as she was, would be outmaneuvered.

“A great god sleeps deep within the endless ice plains, so the more ninth-tier beings there are, the safer it is.”

"Is it too late for me to regret it now?"

"Guess~"

Seeing Iris's smile, Lily pouted unhappily, then muttered under her breath, "Oh well, let's just treat it as going back to take a look. I wonder what will be left after the World Tree dies."

"Then it's settled. I'll come see you in a couple of days."

"understood."

Just then, Elsa finished her training. She slowly walked to Elise's side, and after Lily disappeared, she asked in a low voice, "I think I heard you say that you were going to the Endless Ice Plains, is that right?"

"Yes, do you want to come along?" Elise stroked the little black cat in her arms and looked at Elsa.

"I'd like to go too."

"I actually wanted to take you with me, but this trip is a bit dangerous, so you should stay here. Don't slack off when I leave."

"Ok."

Elise initially thought Elsa would beg her to come along, but she quickly realized that the current Elsa probably didn't have many memories of her past life, so she naturally wouldn't do such a thing.

Although she wasn't taking Elsa with her, she planned to bring Little Black along. This black cat, corrupted by the power of order, could be considered a follower of order in some ways, and bringing it along might help to raise the banner of order.

Just as Elise was setting her sights on Xiao Hei, the Holy Mark of Order flashed before Xiao Hei's eyes.

Elsa, who was standing with her back turned, meowed softly not far away, and the little black cat in Iris's arms also meowed.

Volume 1: Chapter 425 Are you ready to face the truth?

Two days passed quickly, and it was time for Elise to set off.

Because the place they went to was not shown in the game, and Elise, who had just survived a near-death experience, didn't know what was there, she didn't bring her maid or anyone else with her.

She only brought Lily and Sera, and although they were both ninth-tier, Elise still didn't feel very safe.

Because of these two, one of them is still recovering from a serious injury, and the other has some mental health issues.

However, considering what Eloise said, the Sloth would at most just avoid them, and Eloise also had a backup plan for herself.

At worst, Elise has a way to escape.

"Miss, can't I really go with you?" The little maid tugged pitifully at Iris's sleeve. How could she not see that the place her mistress forbade her to go must be extremely dangerous?

She knew that her young lady had brought two ninth-tier beings with her this time. If it weren't dangerous, her young lady wouldn't have brought two ninth-tier beings with her.

Elise reached out and ruffled the little maid's hair, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, with Sera and Lily around, my safety is not a problem."

Sera, standing beside her, nodded earnestly: "I will definitely protect myself."

The maid, who was initially feeling melancholy, almost burst out laughing in exasperation after hearing Sera's words.

However, she also understood that it was not really suitable for her to go along at this time, ultimately due to her lack of strength.

If I were at the ninth rank or even higher at this point, I wouldn't need to be so conflicted.

Just then, Lily arrived at Iris's manor through an ancient teleportation array.

Upon seeing Lily's appearance, Elise chuckled softly and then said, "Alright, now that everyone's here, let's set off."

"Are you leaving now?"

Lily, who had just arrived, was thinking of getting breakfast at Elise's place. Although elven food was delicious, after eating it for hundreds of years, she preferred to try something new.

"Any questions?"

"No, no." She couldn't very well say that she had deliberately skipped breakfast to come over, so to avoid embarrassment, Lily didn't say anything more. After all, as a ninth-level expert, she could go for ten days or half a month without eating without any problem.

Eating is one of her few hobbies.

“Then let’s go.” Elise snapped her fingers, and Sally, who was dozing off, instantly woke up. After yawning, she slowly walked among the group.

"Everyone get ready, we're off!"

As Sally finished speaking, the figures of the group vanished from their spot in an instant.

The little maid looked at the somewhat empty hall and sighed softly. She knew that her strength was insufficient, but she couldn't find a way to quickly improve it.

If I encounter this situation again and my skills haven't improved, the young lady will definitely let me stay again, right?

Even just thinking about it made the little maid feel a little uneasy.

Just then, a voice suddenly came to the little maid's ear: "Do you want to become stronger?"

Upon hearing the voice, the maid immediately became alert. She looked around, trying to find the source of the sound, but she couldn't find anyone speaking.

After Elise left, everyone who was there went on their own business, leaving her all alone.

"Stop looking, doesn't my voice sound familiar?"

The little maid certainly felt it was familiar; after all, how could she not be familiar with her own voice? But why was her own voice appearing?

"You don't need to care about this question. I'm just asking if you want to become stronger~|《↓∠：亿∈衫榴腫ＺhuaNqun:么？"

"think."

"Are you ready to face the truth?"

"What truth?"

"Why is it that sometimes you can't help but want to kill certain people? Why are there things that you've never experienced but feel incredibly familiar with?"

The little maid was naturally very curious, or rather, always curious, but at the same time, she also felt a strange sense of fear deep down.

……

Amos, the city in the North.

After a long time, Elise reappeared in this place.

As the far north of the empire, the war had no effect here; it remained just as it had been when Iris last visited.

"So this is what it's like inside." Lily looked around curiously.

The Forest of Sanctuary was once located in the endless ice plains. She had observed this human city from afar, but only observed and never entered it.

As the chieftain of the Elf race, her safety was crucial to the rise and fall of her people, so she never did anything risky in the past.

Only now, having shed her burdens, will she agree to go with Elise into the deepest part of the Endless Ice Plains.

Just then, Elise's voice suddenly rang in her ear: "Speaking of which, haven't you forgotten something?"

"what?"

"How can a personal maid be without a maid outfit~"

Iris smiled and handed a maid outfit to Lily. She had given Lily the dress-up ring beforehand, so all she had to do was put the outfit into the ring and she could change into it anytime.

"Didn't you ask me to go on an adventure with you?"

"Isn't it normal for a personal maid to accompany her master on adventures?"

Lily was momentarily speechless at Elise's words. She sighed helplessly and then reluctantly accepted the clothes Elise offered.

As the dress-up ring was activated, Lily's clothes instantly changed into a cute maid outfit.

Not only Elise, but even Sera, who mistook herself for Elise, showed the exact same smile when she saw it.

Feeling their gazes, Lily said somewhat unhappily, "Your stares are too direct. Is it really that good-looking?"

"Whether it looks good or not, you'll know for yourself when you see it."

As Elise finished speaking, a mirror appeared in front of Lily.

She looked closely at herself in the mirror, dressed in a maid outfit, and Lily suddenly realized that she actually looked quite cute.

After carefully adjusting her clothes in front of the mirror, Lily said, feigning composure, "Okay, where do we go now?"

"Can't you be a little more respectful when you speak to your master, you personal maid?"

"Believe it or not, I'll bite you!" Lily glared at Iris, baring her teeth and brandishing her claws.

Faced with such a threat, Elise simply smiled and said, "Alright, alright, I understand. Let's go now."

While Lily wasn't looking, Elise ruffled her hair before leaving the deserted alley.

Seeing Elise's smug expression, Lily pouted. If she hadn't deliberately not dodged, how could Elise have managed to ruffle her hair?

However, considering that this wicked woman has indeed helped me a lot, I'll let her be smug for a while.

Volume 1: Chapter 426 Matchbox

"Why don't we just teleport to the vicinity of the Sanctuary Forest?"

Lily and Elise were walking down the street when Lily asked a question out of curiosity.

In her opinion, Sally's long-distance teleportation was very convenient, and if Elise wanted to, she could teleport to the depths of the Endless Icefield.

"I brought you here especially because I thought you probably hadn't been here before."

Lily blinked, unable to tell whether Elise, this wicked woman, was telling the truth or not. She should say that she was indeed a favorite of the goddess of love. She remembered that among the few records of the goddess of life, there were records of the goddess of love speaking words that were of dubious veracity.

Just as Lily was lost in thought, the aroma of food suddenly pulled her back to reality.
