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

The supplies are plentiful this time; after being transferred, they should be enough for the cursed people of the Cursed Fertile Land to last for about a month.

More supplies could actually be transferred there, but those supplies would inevitably become tainted with the curse. While this wouldn't have a immediate effect on the cursed people, it would deepen the curse within them over time. 8

Vivian, of course, knew who those supplies were for, and asked with some curiosity, "Do those cursed people have a way to leave the Cursed Fertile Land?"

"Of course, but the method is rather complicated."

To completely resolve the problem of the Cursed Fertile Land, the curse god who is sleeping deep within it must be killed; otherwise, some shortcuts will have to be used.

For example, Wendy could create insectoid bodies for them to replace, but this would only be a temporary solution. The cursed people are not only physically affected, but their souls are also tainted by the curse. Even if they replace their bodies, it can only temporarily remove part of the curse. Before long, their curse will erupt in their new bodies.

Or they could create a cursed fertile land outside, but that would only be moving the cage that bound them to a different location, though it would be somewhat freer and safer than being in the cursed fertile land.

The best solution would be to ask the Eternal God for help; with His purifying power, saving those cursed people would be a piece of cake.

However, the Eternal God has already been corrupted, and the uncorrupted slices cannot utilize much of the purification power, so this method also fails.

However, the Eternal God possesses a very special artifact called the Pure Sun.

This pure sun can continuously purify all filth within its rays, including curses.

Although this purification cannot affect the soul level, as long as they continue to be bathed in the pure sunlight, the cursed people can become almost like normal people.

Once the cursed god is completely defeated, we will be able to escape the Pure Sun.

This is why Elise wanted to visit the home of the Eternal God with Sera.

The Pure Sun is currently placed by the Eternal God in the Eternal Cathedral, the headquarters of the Eternal Church, and is only activated during certain celebrations or festivals in the Eternal City.

At that time, the Eternal City will witness the extraordinary phenomenon of two suns rising into the sky.

At that time, many people would flock to the Eternal City to receive the purification of the pure sun, a purification that could even heal injuries and cure diseases.

Moreover, the Pure Sun can also help Theresa purify some of the curses on her body. If given the chance, Elise definitely wants to get her hands on this.

After Elise and Vivian finished their meal, she took a carriage directly to the warehouse outside Seria.

This warehouse is enormous and filled with all sorts of daily necessities.

Elise, through the authority of the Earth Goddess, contacted the believers among the cursed people, who then carried out the bestowal ritual.

The various supplies in the warehouse were quickly transferred to the Cursed Fertile Land through a bestowal ritual.

Looking at the various supplies piled up in the center of the square, the middle-aged man's face was filled with joy, and the fervor in his eyes became even more obvious.

He was the boy with the curse of aging, and after being saved by Elise, he became one of her most devoted followers.

Now that his life force has been completely exhausted, he is aging rapidly. He has gone from a boy to a middle-aged man, and it is estimated that he will soon turn back into an old man.

But along with the supplies came a tremendous life force, and with the infusion of this life force, the middle-aged man quickly transformed back into a boy.

Feeling his body return to its youthful state, the boy prayed fervently: "Praise be to Miss Elise."

As a batch of supplies was transferred, Elise also felt a surge of immense faith power, which she knew without a doubt was the devout prayer offered by the cursed people.

As the power of faith flowed into the blessing of the Earth Goddess, the blessing of the Earth Goddess was once again upgraded.

She gained even more control over the power of the Earth Goddess.

Although Elise's theft of the Earth Goddess's authority will accelerate the Insect Queen's devouring of the Earth Goddess, isn't the Insect Queen's authority also being plundered?

Wendy was much more ruthless than her, after all, the Zerg didn't need any faith power.

When Elise opened her eyes again, her face radiated a loving glow. Vivian, who had been by her side, even felt for a moment that she was seeing her mother who had passed away long ago.

However, she quickly dispelled that strange illusion and looked at Elise with a somewhat odd expression.

Sensing her gaze, Elise tilted her head slightly: "What's wrong?"

"Try to tone it down a bit; you're acting a little strange right now."

With Vivian's reminder, Elise realized that the blessing of the Earth Goddess had also affected her outward appearance after her advancement.

Fortunately, this external influence can be mitigated; otherwise, it would have been somewhat troublesome for Elise.

As Elise withdrew that loving radiance, she returned to her usual appearance.

Vivian breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. If Elise had continued in that state, she really wouldn't know how to do that kind of thing to her.

Just now, she couldn't even feel any sense of blasphemy towards Elise.

"While seizing the power of the Earth Goddess may be beneficial to you, will it really not have any negative consequences?"

"There will definitely be an impact, but it won't be significant."

If it were anyone else, they would definitely be affected by the earth's divine power, but Elise has died and been reborn countless times, and her soul strength is extraordinary. Even if she completely seizes the power of the earth goddess, it cannot have much of an effect on her.

Hearing that Iris had said so, Vivian nodded slightly, then walked out of the warehouse with her and returned to the carriage.

As she looked out the window, she asked, "What are your plans lately?"

"I don't think I have any plans yet, and I'd like to take a short break."

"It's time for you to take a break."

Vivian could clearly sense that Elise exuded a sense of urgency in everything she did, as if something was chasing her, relentlessly pushing her forward.

That's how it is now, and that's how I remember Elise.

Volume 1: Chapter 382 I Smell the Enemy

"how about you?"

Elise turned to look at Vivian, and she could also sense that Vivian had changed a lot since she awakened her memories.

She wouldn't have been this busy at times like this before, and now with the added matter of the Land of Hope requiring her attention, Elise is somewhat worried about Vivian's health.

"Once I finish what I'm doing, I'm planning to take a break. After all, it's almost the end of the year, and if I don't rest, you'll probably start nagging me again."

Vivian couldn't help but recall how, every year at the end of the year, Elise would tell her to take a good rest.

However, in my memory, I was very cold towards Elise. Even though I had developed feelings for her at that time, I kept them hidden in my heart and did not show them.

Looking back now, I was really foolish. I didn't appreciate the advice I had when people were advising me, but when no one was there to advise me anymore, I foolishly started reminiscing about her.

So this time Vivian is prepared to listen to advice.

Elise had prepared her persuasive arguments, but to her surprise, they were completely useless; Vivian obediently agreed.

Is this still the workaholic Vivian I know?

"I promised you I'd take some time off, aren't you happy?"

"Happy? Of course I'm happy, but I didn't expect you to be so easy to persuade."

"That's because I refused your request before, and now I don't want to refuse you again."

"Then can I make some excessive demands?" A hint of excitement flashed in Elise's eyes, and she couldn't even hide the joy in her pupils.

However, Vivian wasn't so easily fooled. She just silently looked at Elise, feeling a little embarrassed by her presence, and could only pretend not to say anything by typing "hahaha".

After some time, Elise and Vivian returned to the manor gate. After getting off the carriage, she turned to Vivian and said, "Would you like to come in and sit for a while?"

When faced with Elise's invitation, Vivian instinctively wanted to accept, but then she felt something was amiss. Her intuition told her that if she went into the manor with Elise, something bad might happen.

Before meeting Elise, Vivian rarely trusted her intuition, but after meeting Elise, she found that her intuition was very accurate.

So this time she chose to trust her intuition again and declined Elise's invitation: "I have some things to do back home, let's talk about it next time."

Elise was surprised that Vivian had rejected her. She was stunned for a moment before she saw that Vivian had already had the coachman drive away.

Seeing this, Elise couldn't help but purse her lips. She hadn't expected Vivian to have such a keen sense of crisis. She had even wanted Sera to provoke Vivian, hoping that Vivian might remember something about the past that killed her.

You should know that she had been killed by Vivian many times. After all, the original Elise had really gone too far in bullying Vivian, which was no different from courting death.

Just as Elise was lost in thought, Sera's figure suddenly appeared beside her like a ghost. She squinted and looked around, muttering to herself, "I think I smell the scent of an enemy."

Elise reached out and flicked Sera's forehead: "You're overthinking it."

Elise didn't hit hard, and even if she had hit harder, Sera wouldn't have felt any pain.

However, Sera, who had been flicked on the forehead, persisted, saying, "Why are you using the same methods I used on you on me?"

"Can't you?"

"can."

After saying that, Sera was a little stunned. She was Elise, and she was always very assertive in front of Sera. Why was she being so docile in front of Sera now?

Perhaps it's because we haven't seen each other for a long time, so I feel a little guilty towards Sera?

Sera tilted her head and stood there thinking for a long time without coming up with a solution.

She only snapped out of her daze when Elise called to her, and then quickened her pace to catch up with Elise.

……

A few days flew by.

With the missing persons case solved, the people of Seria felt much relieved. In addition, with good news coming from the front lines, people's attention quickly shifted to the war.

But both Elise and Vivian could see that this was an attempt to divert public attention.

However, even if they knew, they wouldn't be able to expose them, and they wouldn't expose them.

These past few days have been the most pleasant ones Iris has had since her rebirth. She sleeps in until she naturally wakes up, and then either takes a walk in the Land of Hope or reads at home.

She desperately wanted this life of idleness and complacency to continue, but she also knew very well that if she remained stagnant, death would be her only fate.

Although only a few days have passed, it has already started snowing in Seria.

When she woke up today, she drew back the curtains to find a world blanketed in silver.

However, the cold outside doesn't affect the manor with its magical heating system. Although it costs a considerable amount of gold coins every year, it's undeniably very comfortable. Nine

Elise didn't sleep until noon today because her adoptive father was coming to Seria.

As her daughter, of course she had to prepare for the arrival. (Six)

"Miss, Master has arrived."

Iris, who was reading a book, slowly got up and left the room after hearing the maid's call.

As soon as I went downstairs, I saw my elderly father walking into the manor.

Elise bowed very politely to him, a smile blooming on her face: "Father, you've arrived."

Earl Byron looked at his daughter, a hint of affection appearing on his usually stern face: "Well, I came to see you and take care of some things."

"How's the family business?"

"As you planned, nothing has gone wrong so far." With that, Earl Byron took out a card and handed it to his daughter: "There are 20,000 gold coins in here. If you need more, just ask me for more."

"Okay, thank you, Father."

Elise certainly wouldn't refuse. This was the allowance her father gave her. Although it might seem like a lot to others, Elise knew very well that her adoptive father was quite wealthy.

"By the way, I'm going to a banquet at Duke Thackeray's mansion tonight, so there's no need to prepare my dinner."

"An invitation from Duke Thackeray?"

"Yes, what's the problem?"

Elise gently shook her head. There was a problem to begin with, but with Vivian around, the problem was no longer a problem.

Volume 1: Chapter 383 How Should I Punish You?

Earl Byron didn't want to discuss political matters with his daughter, so he only mentioned it casually before inquiring about Elise's well-being.

Earl Byron was aware that Elise hadn't been to the academy recently.

However, considering that his daughter had achieved good results during her exchange program at the academy, he didn't say much, only telling her to restrain her temper and not cause trouble.

Although Count Byron was somewhat nagging, his nagging was full of concern, and Elise was not impatient at all, listening quietly to her old father talk for more than an hour.

If it weren't for the time of mealtime, Count Byron would likely have continued speaking.

Sera was placed directly in the Land of Hope by Elise; otherwise, if her father saw that there were two of her, he would probably be furious.

Lunch had just ended when Count Byron had to leave early to attend to some business.

After watching her elderly father leave, Elise couldn't help but smile slightly. She wondered what kind of expression her father would have when he found out about her relationship with Vivian.

Elise still had some expectations.

Just then, Elena slowly walked to Elise's side and said softly, "Remember when you said you were going to my hometown? Now that we have some time, would you like to go?"

Hearing Elena's words, Elise thought for a moment. She hadn't had anything to do lately, so she nodded and said, "That's fine, but I'd like to stay here and spend more time with my father. After he returns to his territory, I'll go to your hometown, okay?"
