Elise casually sat down on the sofa and asked, "Let's assume Hattie is in Ronald's hands. What would he do with her?"
"To gain the Salom family's support?"
"Even so, it's still too fast. After all, the king is critically ill and we still need to wait a while. I could understand if it were during the king's critical illness, but it's too early now."
Elise had a feeling that this was definitely not just a simple assassination; there might be some other scheme behind it that she hadn't yet figured out.
However, Elira's words also make a lot of sense. Now that all the clues point to Ronald, it is necessary to investigate his situation.
Ever since learning that Ronald possessed the Eye of Order, Elise had been very curious about how he obtained it.
"I'll find a chance to investigate tomorrow. It's getting late, and staying up late is bad for my skin. I need to go and rest now." After saying that, Elise took her maid and went back to her room to sleep.
Elira twitched the corners of her mouth. Although she knew that Hattie's life should be safe, she still couldn't fall asleep right away.
Back in her room, Elira stood on the balcony, murmuring softly, as if praying or chanting some kind of magic.
Soon after, the starry sky was obscured by dark clouds, and the moon disappeared completely.
The heavy rain began to fall without any warning, and Elira's consciousness, along with the rain, fell into the mansion where Ronald was.
On the other side, Elise, who was already lying in bed, listened to the sound of rain coming from outside the window and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes. She did not expect that Elaira could even change the weather.
Powerful magicians possess the ability to alter the weather, and while Elira is strong, she hasn't reached that level of ability.
Elise guessed it was some kind of ability that Elira had gained through her multiple rebirths.
It seems that the protagonist is much stronger than he imagined.
This is a good thing for Elise.
……
Last night's rain kept Elise sleeping soundly.
When she woke up the next day, she went to the living room of the mansion and saw Elira sitting on the sofa, looking somewhat haggard.
Instead of asking why the other person looked sleep-deprived, Elise asked directly, "Did you find out any information last night?"
"No, I had just scouted out the perimeter of the manor using special methods when I was discovered by them."
She made many attempts last night, but all of them failed; the Eye of Order's ability to see was too powerful.
Not only did they fail to find any useful clues, but they were also significantly affected mentally.
Elise could tell that Elira had mental problems, so she walked up to her, looked directly at her, and said, "Look into my eyes."
Elira hesitated for a moment, then looked up and met Elise's gaze.
As the mark of pleasure appeared in Elise's pupils, Elira, whose head was still throbbing, gradually relaxed.
The treatment lasted for several minutes, and after it ended, Elira's complexion was much better than before.
"I never imagined you had the ability to heal the wounds of the soul."
"It's not healing, it just blocks the effects of the trauma on you. You still need to heal." Her power of pleasure has absolutely nothing to do with healing; it merely uses hypnosis to block the trauma's effects on Elira.
He used an ability meant for pleasure to heal, and he wondered how Eloise would react if she found out.
"You should rest well today. I'll try to find out what's going on."
"Then you must be careful; the Eye of Order's resurgence is far more powerful than I anticipated."
"Yes, I know." 5
Just as the two were talking, Nora also came out of the room.
Seeing the two of them, she quickly walked over to Elise and asked, "Is there anything I can do for you today?"
Elise took out a letter she had prepared beforehand and handed it to the other party: "This contains the locations of various rare weapons in Castor, as well as the approximate methods of obtaining them."
Nora, who had been somewhat listless, suddenly lit up with excitement upon hearing Elise's words: "Then I'll go collect these weapons today. Just let me know if anything comes up."
Although there are no insect nests here in Castor, the distance is only one city, so even without nests, two insects can easily communicate.
Elise nodded, then waved her hand impatiently, signaling her to leave.
Elise then turned her attention to Sera. 4
Volume 1: Chapter 399 He Died for His Own Good~
As Elera has already stated, the Eye of Order possesses extremely powerful insight capabilities. Even if Elise transfers her consciousness to the insect, she probably wouldn't be able to infiltrate it.
However, things are different with Sera's help.
If Sera can help distract the Eye of Order, she'll have a way to infiltrate Ronald's manor and find some relevant clues.
Sensing Elise's gaze, Sera tilted her head and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that? Just say what you need, but let me make it clear beforehand, asking for my help comes at a price~"
After she finished speaking, a faint smile appeared on Sera's face. Elise was very familiar with that smile; she often showed that smile when others asked her for help.
She sighed with some melancholy, never expecting that one day she would fall into her own trap.
"Tell me what you want me to do first."
"Let me think about it." Although she said she was thinking about it, Sera had obviously already made up her mind. Her gaze fell on Elise, and the pleasure in her eyes was undisguised: "If you wear a maid outfit for a day, I'll do you a favor."
Nora, who had already reached the door, turned back and looked at Elise with a smile, clearly wanting to see what Elise would look like in a maid outfit.
She actually wanted to say something, but considering her current relationship with Elise and the possibility of Elise retaliating against her, she held back. However, she really couldn't suppress the smile on her face.
Elise glared at her, annoyed. Nora could only laugh it off for now, knowing that she would eventually fall into her hands.
"Okay, I agree." Although Elise was a little unhappy, she didn't show it on her face.
It's just a maid outfit, isn't it? It's not like she hasn't worn one before.
A flash of light appeared on the changing ring on Elise's hand, and Elise, dressed in a maid outfit, appeared before everyone's eyes.
Not to mention Nora, even Elira couldn't help but show a look of amazement when she saw it.
Moreover, Elise was very professional. After changing into the maid outfit, she looked like a real maid, even more professional than the little maids.
The little maid standing to the side blinked, wondering if she should go and ask her mistress for advice.
Ignoring the various gazes from the crowd, Elise said calmly to Sera, "I'll leave it to you in a moment."
"Don't worry, leave it to me." Sera put the memory crystal into her spatial ring and then gave Elise an OK sign.
Only she could understand and use such a gesture reasonably.
"Wait, you didn't tell her what you were going to do. Don't you really need to tell her?" Elira asked, confused about the situation between the two.
“No need, she knows what I need her to do,” Elise said calmly.
In Elise's eyes, Sera in Elise's state is almost the same as another version of herself, both in terms of her way of thinking and the information she has. It's impossible for her not to understand what Sera means.
"It's just a matter of touching that eye; leave that to me." Sera smiled confidently.
This smile was very familiar to everyone else, after all, Elise would show this kind of smile when she was sure of something.
Nora frowned slightly, feeling that this savior was not simply imitating Elise, but truly seeing herself as Elise.
We don't know exactly what happened to make her so mentally unstable.
……
After breakfast, Elise sat lazily on the sofa in a very unrestrained posture, clearly thinking only of comfort and not caring about her image at all.
As she slowly closed her eyes, her consciousness attached itself to a butterfly outside.
As the butterfly fluttered away, Sera began her own actions.
Her figure vanished from Elira’s mansion in an instant, and appeared on the outskirts of Ronald’s estate in a few flashes.
As soon as she appeared here, she felt the surge of the power of order, which tried to pull her into it.
In her vision, it seemed as if a huge golden pupil appeared, with the holy marks of order faintly visible within it.
However, the power of order is destroyed by the violent power of destruction the moment it gets close to her; order is of no use to her, the heroine who destroys the world.
Just as the power of order clashed with the power of destruction, a butterfly naturally landed in the garden.
Elise estimated that Sera could only hold them off for a short time, so she decided to finish the job quickly.
As the butterfly flapped its wings, and its scales fell, several insects emerged from the ground and began to enter Ronald's manor from different directions.
If nothing unexpected happens, she can thoroughly explore the manor in a very short time.
However, the accident still happened.
As soon as the butterfly flew into the manor, Elise saw a maid cleaning in the corridor.
Logically speaking, the maid shouldn't have been able to discover her presence.
However, the maid seemed to sense something, and then turned her head 180 degrees to look at the location of the butterfly. The maid's pupils were a holy gold, and the holy marks of order were faintly visible in her pupils.
The moment she saw the Eye of Order, Elise decisively severed her connection with the butterfly's consciousness; however, her consciousness was still affected by the power of order.
Elise felt like she was seeing a ghost. Wasn't the Eye of Order supposed to be confronting Sera?
Meanwhile, the other insects that invaded the manor also encountered similar situations. The most outrageous one was an insect that encountered a cat, which actually possessed the Eye of Order.
As the connections broke one by one, Elise let out a muffled groan and slowly opened her eyes.
In her pupils, one could see faint traces of holy order.
This is a sign of being corrupted by the power of order, and the corruption is quite severe. Fortunately, Elise's soul strength is extremely high, so she can suppress even this level of corruption.
Upon noticing the movement, Elira quickly asked, "Are you alright?"
"It just looks like I'm fine, but actually my problem is quite serious." Elise pretended to lie down on the sofa and looked at Elira pitifully.
Elise's performance was very affected, giving the impression of poor acting skills. Elira thought that this world-destroying witch was trying to reassure her, but she had seen Elise's reaction just now, and even the power of order was surging from Elise's body.
It's impossible to say there's no impact. After all, she's been reborn hundreds of times, so she can tell whether there's an effect or not.
Elise knew, of course, that Elira could see through her intentions. She wanted Elira to see through her intentions, otherwise, all her injuries would have been for nothing.
Volume 1: Chapter 400 Am I not good-looking?
"What exactly went wrong?"
After seeing that Elise seemed to be alright for the time being, Elira asked the question that had been bothering her.
“That mansion is very strange.” Elise briefly explained what had happened to Elira, and also called Sera back. Continuing the standoff was pointless now, and there was even a risk of being discovered.
She knew this was the kingdom's capital, Castor, a place where even ninth-tier beings existed; she couldn't afford to be too presumptuous.
"Does the God of Order have so many eyes?"
"Of course not. I suspect that the manor was transformed into a divine realm of order, and all the creatures within it were corrupted by the power of order, which is why that situation occurred."
"Will Hattie's presence inside cause any problems?"
"She will definitely be suppressed by the order within it. As for whether she will be corrupted by the power of the order, I can't say. But as long as she doesn't die, there is always a way to save her."
Hearing what Elise had said, Elira breathed a sigh of relief, but soon she became troubled again.
The divine realm of order is not so easy to invade; even Elise suffered severe damage.
Seeing Elaela's growing anxiety, Elise soothed her gently, "Don't worry. If things get really bad, I'll personally infiltrate the group."
How did you get in there?
"Have you forgotten how you told me the truth back then?"
Upon hearing Elise's words, Elira suddenly remembered that Elise could transform herself into a believer of order in a short time. If she were a believer of order, she should be able to infiltrate the divine realm of order, right?
However, Elira quickly seemed to realize something, her face filled with worry: "But what if you risk your life and get discovered?"
"If you die, the prelude to the end of the world will be lifted."
Moreover, this time, there are far too many chosen ones gathered around Elise. If Elise dies in the realm of the gods of order, this world won't last long at all.
Perhaps it was because she was recalling her past experiences, but Elira couldn't help but shiver.
"Don't worry, I'll have a backup plan. After all, I would never put myself in danger," Elise said confidently.
Elira didn't believe Elise's words. She had been reborn hundreds of times and knew a great deal about Elise's experiences.
She might say she's afraid of death, but when faced with certain special circumstances, she's always the first to rush forward and protect those people.
Although those she protects generally survive and can even resolve problems quickly, those people she protected soon become problems themselves.
"We've already alerted them today, so even if I wanted to sneak in, it's unlikely. It's best to wait another day or two."
"Well, I see."
