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

You see, Elise is a wicked woman who likes to tease him all the time, and since he needs her help, it seems that this is the only way he can bully her.

While Nora was getting a foot massage, she asked curiously, "Do you have information on any other agents?"

In the past, Nora wouldn't have been in such a hurry. Her original plan was to steadily improve her strength and then crush her opponent when she was strong enough. This was the safest approach.

However, as she unlocks more and more collectibles, her desire to improve her own strength becomes increasingly urgent.

“There definitely is, and it’s also at the fifth rank like you, but it’s quite far from here.” Elise thought for a moment and picked a suitable opponent for Nora.

"It's okay if it's a bit far. You don't need to come with me. I can go by myself," Nora said nonchalantly.

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush. The academy has final exams coming up, so just stay here and wait patiently until you pass them."

Hearing Elise say this, Nora also remembered that there was such a thing. Actually, she wouldn't have any problem even if she didn't go to the academy now, but it would be difficult to explain to her family.

So Nora thought about it and decided to listen to Elise and wait until the assessment was over before looking for the next agent.

Elise's situation is similar to Nora's. Although she is not usually at the academy, she will be expelled if she doesn't attend the assessments. She doesn't want her father to worry, so she doesn't plan to run around during this period.

Moreover, based on her near-death experience, this academy assessment will take place in a special place where she can obtain some benefits.

"By the way, the Third Princess is in Seria. Will I run into her if I stay here?"

Nora enjoys the thrill of battle, but the Third Princess is a seventh-tier being, and also an agent. Even with a half-finished god-slaying weapon, she has no chance of defeating her.

She didn't like one-sided battles, and if she really encountered one, Elise might actually risk everything and drag her away, just like she had experienced in her memories.

“She’s no longer with Seria,” Iris said calmly.

"what?"

“I gave her information about an agent, and she’s already on her way to kill that agent. I reckon she won’t be back for at least a year or two.”

"Why did you give her the information?"

"Of course it's because that agent is hard to kill. Her escape skills are top-notch, the kind that you can't catch even if you want to. And her strength is also at the seventh level. It's better to let her hunt down that agent. You should take this opportunity to improve your strength."

Nora didn't quite understand at first, but after hearing Elise's explanation, she immediately understood.

She found Elise's thoughts to be truly terrifying, but thankfully she was on her side.

"In short, you should stay in Seria and not wander off during this time."

"Okay, so what are you going to do during this time? Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Being not."

Elise planned to use this time to look for Theresa, but she didn't know where she had gone.

As an immortal, she certainly wouldn't die. Elise was just a little worried that the other person might have entered some forbidden area or something, and died and came back to life repeatedly.

Elise encountered a similar situation when playing games before. Thinking she wouldn't die, she recklessly courted death, eventually getting stuck in a vicious cycle and losing her save file.

Noticing Elise's slightly furrowed brow, Nora couldn't help but ask, "Why do you look so worried? What's wrong?"

"I want to find someone, but I can't find them."

"Isn't your intelligence network quite extensive?"

"No matter how large my intelligence network is, it is impossible for me to be omniscient and omnipotent."

At this point, Elise suddenly stopped talking, because she thought of something: the Mirror of Omniscience.

Rumia has a replica of it, and although it's a replica, the effect is already quite good.

If you find the genuine article, you can find Theresa Mother's image with ease.

Elise knows the whereabouts of the genuine artifact, but obtaining it is somewhat troublesome. The Mirror of Omniscience has shattered into five pieces, one of which is in the hands of a certain protagonist. This is the only fragment that Elise might be able to obtain.

Although it's just a fragment, it's enough to find someone. The problem is how to get my hands on it.

When Nora noticed that Elise had suddenly stopped talking, she instinctively wanted to say something, but she stopped herself after opening her mouth. She decided that she shouldn't disturb Elise's thoughts.

After a while, Elise had a general plan in mind, and then she noticed Nora's hesitant expression.

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

"I just wanted to ask if you need any help from me."

"Not now, but it will be in time." Elise has a plan that really needs Nora's cooperation, or rather, the plan is centered around Nora.

"Okay, then let me know when the time comes."

"Well, thank you."

Hearing Elise thank her gently, Nora blinked involuntarily, and for a moment she even doubted that she had misheard.

Looking at the somewhat silly and naive Nora, Elise said in an annoyed tone, "You heard me right."

"It's almost dinner time now, let's grab something to eat before we head back."

“Okay.” Nora didn’t stand on ceremony; she knew very well that the chef at Elise’s house was far more skilled than her own.

Looking at Nora, who was ravenously hungry, Elise sighed with a touch of melancholy. This person really only stayed to eat; couldn't she think of something else?

Forget it, I shouldn't have any expectations of wood.

Volume 1: Chapter 189 The Mature Little Maid

Late at night, Elise lay quietly in bed, seemingly asleep, but in reality, she was using her stolen authority to respond to her followers.

By appropriately displaying miracles, faith can be spread more effectively. Recently, the amount of faith power Elise receives each day has been steadily increasing.

It feels like the blessing of the Earth Goddess might be upgraded again soon, but there's still a long way to go before it can replace the Earth Goddess.

In other words, as long as the Earth Goddess does not fall, she has no possibility of being completely replaced.

Just then, as if sensing something, Elise suddenly opened her eyes.

Although the little maid standing to the side didn't know what had happened, she sat up alertly, the Devourer in her hand.

"Miss, what's wrong?"

“A dream walker wants to enter my dream,” Elise said with interest.

"Where is she? I'll go and kill her." The maid made no attempt to hide her murderous intent; how dare someone so reckless invade her mistress's dream?

You should know that even she has never entered the young lady's dream, and she can't.

"No rush, let me see why she came."

Although Elise has now awakened, the Dreamwalker is unaware of it, a result of the vast difference in their status.

Even if Elise hadn't stolen the Earth Goddess's authority, there were other ways to trap or even kill her.

It should be noted that Elise, who has died and been resurrected countless times, possesses an extraordinary strength of soul and spirit.

In Elise's mental world, the Dream Walker is standing in a mist, which is a manifestation of the dream not yet being formed.

However, she didn't care. Even without a dream, a Dream Walker could force someone into a dream.

In dreams, it is the realm of dream walkers.

The Dreamwalker reached out and waved his hand gently, and the mist began to dissipate, gradually revealing a room—Elise's room.

In her dream, Elise was sitting on the edge of the bed, quietly watching the uninvited guest.

At this moment, Elise could feel an invisible force trying to hypnotize her.

It's worth noting that Elise had previously randomly chosen the faith of Dream Beasts and had also been a Dream Walker for a period of time, so she was extremely familiar with this process.

Judging from the intensity of the hypnosis, Elise estimated that the other party should have the strength of a sixth-level expert.

If it were an ordinary person, they might have actually been hypnotized, but unfortunately, she met Elise.

Seeing Elise's eyes gradually become vacant, the Dreamwalker relaxed. She didn't need to be so cautious at all, since according to intelligence, this noble lady only had the strength of the third or fourth tier.

Just as she was about to ask for information, she noticed a strange heart-shaped mark appearing in those empty eyes.

The moment the Dream Walker saw the strange mark, he realized something was wrong, but it was too late to look away.

Her gaze seemed to be drawn to the strange mark in the other person's eyes.

A struggle appeared on the Dream Walker's face, but it didn't last long. The struggle gradually disappeared, replaced by fanaticism, like a zealot seeing the god of his faith.

Elise crossed her legs and looked calmly at the dream walker who had been bewitched by her: "Tell me, what is your purpose in invading my dream?"

The bewitched dream traveler made no attempt to conceal her purpose and directly revealed her intentions.

She is a dreamwalker trained by the Eternal Church, and also one of the few remaining members of the Eternal Church within the Empire.

Her purpose in staying here was to investigate Elise.

After all, before Saint Lumia disappeared, Iris was the person who had the most contact with her, so it's normal for her to be suspected.

Logically speaking, a sixth-tier Dream Walker should have been able to extract the desired information, but who knew that this Dream Walker not only failed but also got himself into trouble.

Looking at the Dreamwalker kneeling before her, Elise thought for a moment and said, "Go back and tell your superiors that I'm fine. Then you should find a way to stay in the Empire and act as a double agent."

"Traitor?" The Dream Walker clearly couldn't understand this trendy term.

"I'm telling you, you'd be willing to stay inside and be a traitor, right?"

“Yes, everything I have is dedicated to Miss Elise,” the Dreamwalker said with fervor.

"Very good. If you accidentally reveal your identity, remember to kill yourself on the spot," Elise said sweetly.

"Yes!"

Faced with the conditions proposed by Elise, the Dreamwalker agreed without the slightest hesitation.

“Very well, you can go back now.” Elise snapped her fingers, and her room was once again shrouded in mist, and the Dreamwalker awoke from his dream.

She respectfully bowed in the direction of Elise Manor before beginning to report to her superiors as instructed by Elise.

Although Elise's instructions were simple, an experienced dream walker would not simply tell their superior that Elise had no problems; she would meticulously help perfect every detail.

After resolving the Dreamwalker's problem, Elise opened her eyes, glanced at the little maid still on guard by the bed, and said lazily, "The matter is resolved, go back to sleep."

"Okay, miss."

The little maid didn't doubt her mistress's words at all, and immediately crawled into Iris's bed, her expression changing incredibly quickly.

The next morning, Elise received a message from the Dream Walker informing her that the loss had been resolved and also sharing some of the latest information with her.

For example, the situation of the Eternal Church's intelligence personnel left here.

Although she could easily hand this information over to the Empire's security services, with a Dreamwalker acting as a double agent, she didn't need to take such a risk.

Maintaining the status quo and waiting for time to wash everything away might be the best option.

Or they could simply pin the blame for the saintess's disappearance on certain people.

After all, Rumia was right beside her, and she could deliberately expose Rumia's whereabouts in certain places to divert the trouble elsewhere.

No matter what she did, the initiative was in her hands, and Elise liked that feeling.

Just then, the maid who entered the room saw her mistress smiling and asked curiously, "Miss, what's making you so happy?"

"We eliminated a potential threat, but also acquired a bomb."

The little maid tilted her head, somewhat unable to understand what she meant.

Elise didn't mind, and simply said to her, "I'll be staying in Seria for a while. If there's anything you want to do, you can do it."

"Okay, miss."

The little maid who had returned to Seria's side felt it was time for her to go to the Assassins' Guild to earn some money.

As a mature personal maid, it's time for her to learn how to earn money to support her mistress.

Volume 1: Chapter 190 Ancient Arena

"Elise, have you heard? They say the final exams this year will be held at the Ancient Arena."

When Elise, who was watering the flowers in the manor, heard the sound, she casually handed the watering can to the maid next to her, and then saw Nora rushing over in a hurry.

Seeing her excited expression, Elise said calmly, "Be more composed. You're not a grown woman."

Nora, who was initially full of excitement, suddenly stopped after hearing these words. Why did they sound like what her mother had said? Was this wicked woman taking advantage of her again?

"It's just an ancient arena, why are you getting this excited?"

"That's an ancient arena. Once you enter, you'll be automatically matched with heroic spirits to fight based on your own strength. If you win, you might even receive a corresponding inheritance."
