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

Page 338

Just then, Lily seemed to sense something and said to Iris, "The ninth-ranked person who used to live here seems to have disappeared."

"Hmm?" Elise tilted her head involuntarily.

In the game, stealing this painting would be quite a troublesome task, since a ninth-tier powerhouse lives here.

Although she didn't know why the other party ran away, it saved her a lot of trouble.

Elise swaggered into the city hall, took the painting, and then swaggered away, without anyone noticing anything amiss.

After taking the painting, the group returned to the inn.

Seeing Lily's excited and curious expression, Elise pretended to be troubled: "There are too many things in the space ring, what should I do if I can't find them for a while?"

Lily rolled her eyes at Elise, then leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.

The painting soon appeared before her.

It was an oil painting of a wooden cabin in the forest, and it didn't look particularly special.

Lily had already cut her finger, then asked, "What's the secret code?"

"To my dearest daughter, in Elvish."

Volume 1: Chapter 707 Become the Elf Queen! Lily

Lily dripped the blood from her fingertip onto the painting, then uttered a secret incantation.

As the last syllable falls, the entire painting is like a surface of water rippling with waves. When the ripples disappear, the painting transforms from stillness to dynamism.

"and then?"

“Then you can enter directly by simply touching the image,” Elise said, placing her hand on the painting.

Then she simply disappeared from everyone's sight.

Upon seeing this, Lily reached her hand directly into the screen.

Elira glanced at the little maid and then said, "Why don't you come in with me? I'll stay here."

"it is good."

Without hesitation, the little maid also entered the painting.

Although Elira didn't go in with them, she could see three familiar figures in the painting.

Even someone as knowledgeable as her couldn't help but marvel at how wondrous things from the Age of Gods were.

Meanwhile, Elise, who had entered the painting, was already in a forest, with the wooden house in the painting not far in front of her.

Although it is a world in a painting, the surrounding environment gives people a very real feeling, whether it is flowers, trees, or even flowing water.

Just then, Lily and the little maid also entered the painting.

Lily looked around curiously and then said, "This place feels pretty real."

“After all, it’s a product of the Age of Gods,” Elise said as she walked toward the cabin.

Pushing open the door, you enter a room filled with an elven theme. The bed isn't even made, and there's a half-full glass of water on the table, as if the owner had just left not long ago.

Lily's gaze fell on the half-full glass of water, and she could clearly feel that the water contained a very strong life force.

"This seems to contain... the Water of Life?"

"Yes, it is the life spring water produced from the source of life. It is said that even if only a piece of flesh remains in the body, it can be restored by the life spring water."

"Really?"

"It's true, but only the body is restored. Unless the person is reduced to a lump of flesh, their soul can remain intact."

In games, this item is usually used as a health potion that can fully restore one's own status, and for a certain period of time after use, the player can be said to enter a state of invincibility.

As long as the player's health bar isn't depleted in one hit, the character they control won't die.

Veteran players are actually using this to fight bosses of higher levels, enjoying the feeling of their health bars bouncing around.

"Who was the original owner of this place? Did they drink the water of life like water?" Lily carefully stored the water of life from the cup.

This thing not only contains the power of life, but can even effectively increase lifespan and keep you young forever.

"You should be very familiar with the original owner of this place. She was also a favorite of the Goddess of Life and the second queen of the Elf race."

“I see.” Lily nodded thoughtfully, then said to Iris, “Although it is not recorded in the clan’s documents, it is said that she is the daughter of the Goddess of Life and a certain god.”

"There's such a saying?" Elise had never heard of this before, since there was no related record in the game.

However, based on the information she currently has, could she be the daughter of the goddess of life and Heloise?

Elise and Lily exchanged a glance, feeling as if their thought processes were linked.

Elise felt that she had another reason for going back to see Eloise this time.

"Besides the Fountain of Life, are there any other good things?"

"Of course."

Elise walked to the desk, activated her elf transformation skill, and then reached out to pick up an arrow from the desk.

"What is this?"

"The Arrow of Calamity is an arrow made from a part of the wind of calamity, containing terrifying power of calamity."

This item is an essential piece of equipment for archers in the game. It is not only extremely powerful, but it also has a built-in recycling function. However, each time it is used, the user will be affected by the power of calamity.

After handing the arrow to Lily, Lily didn't reach out to take it. Instead, she looked at Iris and said, "This should be quite useful for you, who possesses 'Elois,' right?"

"That's true, but my body can't withstand the calamity within. If I force it, I'll be torn to shreds instantly."

"So dangerous?"

“Yes, it’s dangerous, but it won’t affect you much. After all, you are His chosen one, and your ninth-level physical strength is enough to withstand the side effects. The only drawback is that it will be a little painful, but…” Elise looked at Lily’s lower abdomen, and the meaning she wanted to express was self-evident.

Iris's gaze was direct, and Lily took a half-step back in a bit of a panic, then muttered, "Don't look at me like that. I only didn't remove that magic mark because I wanted to remember it."

"Yes, yes, please accept the things quickly."

Seeing Elise's serious expression, Lily could only accept the Arrow of Calamity for now, and return it to her when Elise broke through to the ninth rank.

Besides the Arrow of Calamity, there were many books on the desk, all from the Age of Gods. Although they were all very rare books, Elise had read them all, so she just threw them all to Lily.

She then went to the dressing table and casually picked up an exquisite crown from it.

"This looks like a sacred relic of the Elf race, the Elf Queen's crown!" Lily said excitedly.

You should know that this thing was lost after the destruction of the Elven Kingdom during the Age of Gods. Many powerful elves went out to search for it, but still couldn't find it. I never expected that the crown would be here.

Do you remember what I told you before?

"What?" Lily had no idea what Elise was talking about, despite Elise having said so much to her.

"All those who have used the elixir of immortality will be purged."

Hearing Elise's words, Lily raised an eyebrow: "You mean, having the crown will allow for the reckoning?"

“That’s right, but the prerequisite for the reckoning is to pass the Elf Queen’s trial, gain her recognition, and become the new queen.”

"At that time, the life and death of all beings tainted with elven blood will be in your hands."

"To become...Queen?" Lily looked at the exquisite and magnificent crown in her hand, a look of confusion flashing in her eyes.

After all, there have only been two queens in the history of the Elven race, and she doesn't know if she is qualified to become the third queen.

Just then, Elise suddenly leaned close to Lily, cupped her face, and said earnestly, "You have to believe in yourself. After all, no one is more qualified than you to become the third Elf Queen."

Volume 1: Chapter 708 It's time to go back

"Don't brand me with your eight-fold pleasure at such a touching moment!" ∫】<々｛·∝≠≮

Lily grumbled irritably as she looked at the strange heart-shaped mark flashing in Elise's eyes.

She was just very touched, but she never expected that this wicked woman would try to use her pleasure power on her at this moment.

"I just wanted to reassure you." Elise knew, of course, that she couldn't have any influence on Lily right now; she just wanted to ease Lily's mind.

Is the Queen's trial dangerous?

"There is definitely danger involved, so I suggest you wait until you become a demigod before taking on the challenge."

"Demigod? That feels a bit far off for me."

She is indeed a genius, but it is still too difficult for her to break through to demigod. Although she is called a demigod at that stage, she has already entered the realm of gods. Can she really do it?

Lily lacked confidence.

"It's not far off. The reason you feel it's a long way off is because when you were in the Forest of Sanctuary, you were living in symbiosis with the World Tree, which was about to wither. It's already amazing that you've managed to stay in the same rank for so long."

"That's true, though."

So keep up the good work!

"Then I'll try my best when I get back," Lily muttered softly.

Elise then led her people to ransack the house, basically emptying it out.

Even the bed wasn't spared, since it was made from the World Tree and the bedding materials were extremely precious, so Elise simply packed it up and took it with her.

Looking at the now somewhat empty room, Lily whispered, "I feel like we've gone a bit too far."

"How could that be? Those things would just gather dust here, but they can be of great use once we take them away. We're doing this to revitalize the Elven race!"

Seeing Elise's serious expression, Lily couldn't help but roll her eyes, then asked, "So, how are we going to get out?"

"You come in the same way you go out."

Returning to the entry point, they found a painting that had appeared there sometime during the night, depicting Elira's curious face.

As Elira stood before the painting, contemplating how the people inside could escape, the three figures reappeared in the painting. Suddenly, Elise appeared in front of her.

Because she was standing too far forward, Elise was immediately attached to Elira as soon as she appeared.

Caught off guard, Elira was knocked to the ground, but given her physical condition, she certainly wouldn't feel any pain.

Elise straddled Elira, and the two were in a rather ambiguous position.

Elise looked down at Elira and said with a smile, "Are you alright?"

"Why don't you get up first and then ask?"

Although she was being held down by Iris, Elera surprisingly felt quite good. However, she didn't want to linger in this strange feeling, so without waiting for Iris to get up, she turned into a puddle of liquid and disappeared on the spot.

Elise pursed her lips, then stood up and said, "You really don't want to be around me? Am I so ugly that you don't even notice?"

"No, you're so beautiful that I'm overwhelmed."

Elira said what Elise wanted to hear, and temporarily put aside her original intention to continue teasing Elise.

It was at this moment that Lily and the little maid also stepped out of the painting.

"What should we do with this painting?"

"Of course I'll take it back. This painting has a lot of space; it can be used as a separate space."

"Then you want it?"

"Take it back; after all, it belongs to the Elven race."

The main reason was that this thing wasn't very useful to Elise, so she didn't want it at all.

Elise pondered for a moment, then summoned a butterfly and contacted Elena.

Not long after, Elena appeared directly in Elise's room.

Looking at the silver-haired girl who had teleported over, Elise asked with a smile, "Have you missed me these past few days?"

"You said it yourself, it's only been a few days. Do you think I have the time or inclination for that?" Elena rolled her eyes at Elise.

Although she said that, she actually kept thinking about Elise these past few days, but she didn't want to admit it in front of Elise.

If Elise knew I was always thinking about her, I'd definitely get teased by that wicked woman.

"Did you call me here because you're planning to go back?"

"Well, the problem here has been mostly resolved, but Elira plans to stay here and explore the surrounding elven ruins. Would you like to come along?"

Although it was called exploration, a more accurate term would be sweeping. Elise had already given Elira the distribution of nearby ruins and a detailed map.

Elena, of course, knew what Elise meant by exploration, and she was unsurprisingly tempted, since she had recently wanted her sister to help her upgrade her magical artifacts.

"Then I'll take you back first, and then we can come back and explore together."
