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

"It seems I don't need to trouble you."

Upon entering the church of the goddess of love, Elise also saw the figure of the elven chieftain inside.

"You've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you here for a long time," the clan chief said as he rose and walked toward Elise and the others.

However, she was so focused on looking ahead that she didn't notice her feet. Her knee accidentally bumped into the chair, and her big eyes instantly filled with tears. But because she couldn't lose face in front of the guests, she could only hold back her tears.

"Chieftain, you must have heard my question, right? I wonder if you could help me answer my question?" Elise looked at the other person, whose smooth right knee had a noticeable red mark, and it looked like it was still quite painful.

"I'm not entirely clear on the specifics, since a long time has passed since the Age of Gods. However, our clan has records that the two goddesses were originally sworn enemies."

As the clan chief spoke, he subtly rubbed the sore spot.

Volume 1: Chapter 138 Beware of Cupid's Favored Ones

For some reason, after hearing what the elven chieftain said, Elise was reminded of the lyrics of a song she heard before her rebirth.

Judging from Eloise's lineage, it's not exactly respectable. I guess this person... no, this god isn't exactly respectable either. Maybe she's bewitched the goddess of life.

Unlike myself, I'm as pure as a blank sheet of paper.

"If they are sworn enemies, it's unlikely that they would leave each other's churches in the Forest of Sanctuary, right?"

"That's why I said they were originally sworn enemies." The chieftain subtly withdrew her small hand, but everyone saw her action. However, considering that she was the chieftain of the elven race, no one showed it.

You can tell from how hard Elena was trying to hold back her pain by pinching her thigh so hard that she could only turn her attention to Elise to distract herself.

Eve turned her head away, unable to bear the sight, and sighed softly. Even though she wasn't the one who was embarrassed, why did she feel like she wanted to tear her shoes apart?

The adorable clan chief coughed twice: "According to the records, the goddess was ambushed in a battle with the wind of calamity. Just as she was about to perish, the goddess of love extended a helping hand, and the relationship between the two improved as a result. The Church of the Goddess of Love in the Forest of Sanctuary was also built shortly after that."

After she finished speaking, she looked at everyone with her big, cute eyes, which sparkled with anticipation. Seeing their surprised or shocked expressions, she also showed a smug look.

However, after seeing Elise's calm demeanor, she couldn't help but pout. This history was very secretive, so why wasn't she surprised at all after hearing it?

Elise had actually seen this history in the game, in the Elven library, but the version she saw differed somewhat from the version the other person told her. It only recorded the struggle between the Goddess of Life and the Wind of Calamity, without mentioning the Goddess of Love.

The elixir of immortality was also created and spread by the followers of the Calamity Wind, in order to suppress the development of the Elven race.

As it turns out, the allure of immortality is still very strong, and the method of creation is extremely simple. The development of the Elven race has indeed been greatly restricted as a result, causing the Goddess of Life's condition to remain poor and the World Tree to wither.

Since there is an inexplicable relationship between the goddess of life and the goddess of love, it is understandable that the other party agreed to his request to come to the Forest of Sanctuary.

However, Elise was still very curious as to how the elven chieftain knew that she had come to the Forest of Sanctuary in search of the Church of Love.

"To be honest, I don't even know the clan chief's name."

"Lily."

"What a lovely name~" Elise smiled, a look of joy on her face.

As if sensing something, Lily looked at Iris with some wariness: "Don't use your charm on me while you're talking, and you're not strong enough to charm me right now!"

"Sorry, it's a habit," Elise said apologetically.

She certainly wouldn't habitually use charm on people; she did it only to test them. From Lily's answer, it was clear that she knew something about the Goddess of Love, and might even know that she came to the Church of the Goddess of Love to obtain the inheritance of Eros.

Elise had been unable to find much information about the goddess of love before, but now she might be able to find some of the information she was looking for among the elves.

"This is the last time." Lily gave a soft hum. Just as the clan's records said, one must be careful when interacting with Cupid's chosen one, otherwise one might unknowingly fall in love with them.

Fortunately, Elise's current rank is still relatively low, so charm has no effect on her at all.

Thinking of this, a smug look flashed in Lily's eyes.

Elise slowly walked to the statue of Eloise, raised her head slightly, and her eyes seemed somewhat burning.

This statue is also the best preserved of the three churches.

She reached out and gently placed her hand on the statue. In a daze, Elise saw the beautiful blonde girl appear before her again, her gentle eyes looking straight at her, a faint smile on her lips.

Elise wanted to ask the questions that were troubling her, but at that moment she lost control of her body.

The blonde girl floated lightly in front of her, then cupped Iris's face and gently kissed her forehead.

As a strange sensation came through his eyes, the mark of pleasure underwent another advancement.

She can now apply her charm to specific areas in her normal state, and the efficiency of her charm has significantly improved. As for what changes her charm will undergo in her Pleasure Angel form, Elise isn't sure, and there's no time to test it on her right now.

But then again, her first contact with Eloise was holding hands, the second was a hug, and the third was a kiss on the forehead. She didn't dare think about what would happen after the fourth time.

"Is this the end?"

Lily looked at Elise with great curiosity, feeling as if nothing had happened, but upon closer observation, she could still sense some subtle changes in Elise.

She had imagined that receiving the inheritance of the God of Love would bring some spectacular sight, so she came here early in the morning to wait for someone, and then she waited for several hours in the cold morning wind.

Now she feels like she's lost out; she should have come earlier if she'd known this would happen.

Just as Lily was internally complaining, Elise's voice rang out: "Speaking of which, I've always been very curious about the elves. May I visit your library sometime if I have the chance?"

“Well…” Lily hesitated for a moment, then said, “It is possible, but someone will be following you, please understand.”

"no problem."

There were no secrets about the elves that she didn't know. The reason she wanted to go to the library was simply to find some information about Eloise.

"I'm going to the library. You guys can wander around here. After all, the Forest of Sanctuary isn't easy to get into. If you miss this opportunity, who knows when you'll be able to come back again."

"It's alright, you can come anytime if you still want to. It's just a pity that in another year or two, the Forest of Sanctuary may no longer exist."

"Is there something wrong with the World Tree?" This time, Elise took the initiative to bring up the topic.

“That’s right, as you’ve probably noticed, the World Tree was severely damaged during the War of the Gods. We tried many methods, but none of them worked. Fortunately, we’ve recently obtained some clues, so things might take a turn for the better.” As she said this, a lovely smile appeared on Lily’s face.

"Oh right, didn't you want to go to the library? I'm going there too, so I'll go with you. As for the rest of you, Eve can show you around the Forest of Sanctuary."

Book 1: Chapter 139 Blasphemy Against God

"Is this Shar? The outside and the inside are like two completely different worlds."

Nora slowly walked into Shar. Outside, a sandstorm was raging, and even she had swallowed a lot of sand, but inside, it was a peaceful and serene scene.

She was very close to Shar before, so after recovering, she went straight to Shar.

Because the information Elise gave her mentioned that if too much time was spent at the Ancient Forge, she could go to Sharl to see Wendy before returning to the Empire.

Actually, she had been running towards Shar while she was being chased, but she couldn't hold on any longer before she got there. Fortunately, the entity inside her body intervened.

She not only acquired some ancient weapons, but she also mastered a new ability.

By wielding a weapon, one can gain the combat experience of its previous owner, including unique combat skills.

In His words, this was compensation given to her by those two uncivilized men.

Nora was very satisfied with the compensation.

As soon as she entered Shar City, someone approached Nora and said, "Miss, may I have a moment to tell you about our goddess and savior, the Earth Goddess?"

Nora, who was already on her way to find the Church of the Earth Goddess, became interested after hearing his words: "Can you take me to your church?"

“Of course.” The man looked excited and then led Nora to the church.

Nora heard a lot of the doctrines of the Church of the Earth Goddess along the way, but she wasn't interested in them and didn't take them to heart.

Before long, a church bearing the mark of the Earth Goddess appeared before her eyes.

Seeing this, Nora's eyes flashed with excitement, and she quickly walked inside.

The believers following behind were also filled with joy upon seeing this scene. It was clear that this young lady had long admired the Earth Goddess and was eager to enter the church to hear her teachings.

As Nora entered the church, she looked around, but apart from the followers of the Earth Goddess, she did not see Wendy.

But at that moment, Nora seemed to sense something and suddenly turned around to look.

To her surprise, Wendy appeared behind her at some point.

"Miss Wendy, it's been a long time." Nora greeted Wendy, relieved.

"Long time no see." Wendy looked at Nora calmly. She had sensed Nora's presence the moment Nora entered the church.

Wendy led her directly to a bench and sat down, then asked, "Miss Nora, is there a problem with coming here?"

"More or less." Nora briefly explained the situation to Wendy. Since Wendy already knew that a fragment of a god's soul resided within her body, she didn't hide anything.

After telling Wendy what had happened, Nora looked at the statue of the Earth Goddess and couldn't help but say, "Miss Nora, don't you think the statue of the goddess looks a bit like Elise?"

She hadn't noticed it much until she glanced at it while recounting what had happened and discovered it.

At first glance, there was nothing wrong with it, but the more she looked at it, the more she felt that the statue was very similar to Elise, or even that it was Elise herself.

When she was in the ancient city ruins of Star City, she had followed Elise into the church of the Earth Goddess, but at the time she was so busy helping Elise fight off the insect swarm that she didn't pay much attention to the statue.

Does the statue of the Earth Goddess look like this?

According to Zero Wing Private Negotiation 罒韭覇宭

"Really?" Wendy's gaze fell on Nora.

Just as Nora was about to nod, an ethereal voice suddenly rang in her ears: "Pretend you didn't see anything, just say you were mistaken."

Hearing the voice, Nora was somewhat puzzled, but she still followed His instructions and said, "It might just be my imagination."

Wendy turned her gaze away from Nora upon hearing this, and then asked, "So what are your plans now?"

"I plan to wait until the sandstorm stops, then ride the giant eagle from Shar to the kingdom's border, and then return to the empire."

The kingdom does not promote magical technology; instead, it reveres classical magic, which involves guiding magical power and releasing magic through chanting, gestures, and props.

Although it is slower and more complex, the controllability of magic becomes very flexible, and it has its own advantages and disadvantages compared to magical technology.

There are no magic trains in the kingdom either; travel between cities is mainly done by tamed flying magical beasts.

The giant eagle is one of the most common flying magical beasts. It is huge, has a strong carrying capacity, and is not slow. Most importantly, the Empire has already completed its domestication.

Wendy took out a piece of paper from her spatial ring. The paper contained information Elise had given her earlier, information about the city of Shar.

She had already memorized everything mentioned above.

However, she didn't give the note to Nora. Instead, she summoned a spider-like insect, which quickly began copying down the information on the note.

Upon seeing this scene, Nora initially wanted to complain about the bizarre sight, but then realized that this was the church of the Earth Goddess. Was it really okay to summon insects here?

She subconsciously looked around and found that the believers around her were not paying any attention to what was happening here, or rather, they subconsciously ignored them.

The scene was incredibly eerie, and even the usually carefree Nora felt a chill run down her spine.

Within minutes, Wendy handed Nora a brand new note, while the original note that Elise had given her was carefully put back into Wendy's spatial ring.

"This is the information Elise gave me. It contains a large part of the information about this city. You can act according to this information before the sandstorm stops. If you have any questions, you can come to the church to find me."

"Okay, I'll trouble you then."

Nora didn't linger in the eerie church; after saying goodbye to Wendy, she turned and left.

Nora's speed went from a normal walk at the beginning to a full run, and she quickly moved away from the church of the Earth Goddess like a phantom.

She traveled directly from the North District to the South District, found a hotel to stay in temporarily, and then quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I feel like there's something strange about that church. It can't be just my imagination, can it?"

"No."

"May I ask, what exactly happened there?"

"It's just a blasphemy against God, nothing strange about it." As she said this, her ethereal voice seemed somewhat excited or even manic.

Volume 1: Chapter 140 Call Me Clan Chief

Nora rarely sensed the emotions of the person inside her, and this was the most pronounced emotional fluctuation she had ever experienced.

What does it mean to blaspheme God? And isn't He God? Why would He show such a mocking attitude?

Just then, Nora suddenly asked, "What Miss Wendy did shouldn't have any impact on Elise, right?"

"No, not only will it not happen, but it will also bring great benefits. Just pretend you didn't see anything and know nothing. For the next few days, do whatever you want."

"Oh."

Since He had already said so, Nora could only temporarily put aside her doubts.

Then she took out the note Wendy had given her and read it carefully.

……

In the library of the Forest of Sanctuary.

Elise was sitting here looking through documents.
