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

The shop assistant nodded, then called over another shop assistant to bring out some works by masters, and began to introduce them in a low voice.

Flora also took a few moments to look at it, memorized the magic circuit, and then turned her attention elsewhere.

Masterpieces of magic have unique features, but Iris isn't envious at all, because she has Flora.

A legendary magical craftsman of the future, capable of creating magical artifacts of god-slaying quality.

Once nurtured, Iris will be able to possess any kind of magical artifact in the future.

However, after looking around for so long, it wouldn't be right not to buy anything, so Elise finally spent money on a masterpiece—a one-time-use magical artifact capable of instantly unleashing the full power of a seventh-tier expert's attack. Zero

The price wasn't cheap, but it wasn't too expensive either, considering it's a disposable item.

After the two had walked some distance from the shop, Flora asked softly, "Miss Iris, I just memorized the magic circuits of most of the magical artifacts in the shop."

"I know, otherwise you definitely wouldn't want to leave."

For some reason, Flora felt that Miss Iris seemed to know her very well. Just now, she had deliberately asked the shop assistant to bring out some of her prized possessions, just to buy Miss Iris some time. Guilt.

Is this what the book calls a close friend?

"There are a few other similar shops here, let's go take a look."

"it is good."

Flora followed closely beside Iris as they headed towards the next shop.

...s

In the evening, Elise and Flora returned to the manor together.

Elena, who was already resting, shouldn't have found it strange to see her sister returning with Elise.

After all, the two of them had gone out together that morning, but for some reason, her younger sister was noticeably more excited when they returned.

His gaze seemed to be glued to Elise.

It wasn't until she coughed twice that Flora realized what was happening and looked at her sister with some nervousness.

She didn't know why, even though she hadn't done anything to wrong her sister, she still felt a little guilty.

"Sister, I'm back."

"Hmm, has the opening ceremony continued until now?"

"How could that be? After the opening ceremony, I took Flora out for a walk."

"Ok?"

"Don't look at me with that suspicious look. I just took your sister to the magic item shop."

As Flora's older sister, Elena naturally knew what "looking around" meant. She twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "No one noticed, right?"

"How is that possible? Only Flora can see through the essence of magic circuits."

This is Flora's biggest secret. Besides herself, only Elise and Elena know it right now, and they would never tell anyone about it.

After all, this ability is practically a bug for magical artisans.

No magical artifact can hold a secret from her.

It can even deduce a user's fighting style by observing how the magic device operates. If this were discovered, the consequences would be extremely serious.

Elise was quite reliable, so Elena had no doubt about her. She nodded and said, "Then shall we set off for the kingdom tomorrow?"

"Ah."

Volume 1: Chapter 465 Don't use my tricks on me

The next day, the day arrived for them to depart for the kingdom.

This operation mainly involved four people: Elise, Flora, Elena, and the maid.

Elise had originally planned to bring Elsa back to visit as well, but Elsa was busy completing a certain commission and didn't have time for the time being, so it was just the four of them.

There's also Sally, who, after delivering them to the kingdom, goes off to attend to her own affairs.

Flora had prepared well in advance, and you could tell from her tense little face that she was still a little nervous.

Elena didn't seem to be in a good state of mind; she had yawned seven or eight times in the five minutes she had been standing there.

Elise wondered if she had dragged her into a sea of ​​desire last night.

Only Elise and the little maid seemed to be in relatively normal condition.

Although the little maid will accompany Iris to the kingdom, she will not go with Iris to explore the ruins. She will first kill someone, and only after she has killed that person will she meet up with her mistress.

It wasn't that she didn't want to stay by her young mistress's side, but she felt that her abilities were not yet sufficient. She could handle ordinary situations, but if she encountered some special circumstances, she would probably only have regrets for the rest of her life.

She didn't want to experience that feeling again, so she had to become strong enough to kill anyone who threatened her young mistress.

"Are you all ready? We'll set off as soon as you're ready."

Sally walked over to the group and then activated the long-distance teleportation. Because the bugs had located her in advance, she didn't need to think too much; she just needed to teleport to the coordinates sent by the bugs.

Before long, the group moved from the manor to Elira's residence.

Seeing the group of people who suddenly appeared in the house, Elira smiled and said, "You've finally arrived."

"I know you're happy, but don't get too excited yet. I'm just passing by to see you and Sera. I'm going to teleport to another place soon."

"I thought you were here to handle things here."

“I’d like to, but I don’t have any plans here in the kingdom. All I can do is observe from the shadows.” Elise shrugged helplessly.

She hasn't been reborn for very long, so she hasn't had a chance to make any moves in the kingdom. The only place she can control is Shar, but Shar is too far from Castor, so her influence can't reach here at all.

Otherwise, she would have gotten involved long ago; she wouldn't have waited until now.

Elira scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly. Actually, the main reason was that after her rebirth, she just wanted to live her own life and had no intention of getting involved in anything else.

But who could have imagined that this rebirth would lead to a connection with Elise, the witch who destroys the world?

If she had known earlier, she would have made arrangements here in the kingdom.

Since Elise wasn't planning to stay, Elira didn't press the issue, but instead asked curiously, "So, where are you planning to go this time?"

"Go to an ancient magic workshop, located near Mount Doom. Do you know that place?"

"No."

Although she had been reborn many times, she still had far too little information about Elise, who had been reborn countless times.

At least, it's impossible to know exactly where everything is hidden.

Who would have thought that an ancient magic workshop was hidden in a place like Mount Doom?

After a brief chat with Elira, Elise found Sera. Elise had originally planned to just say hello and leave.

No sooner had she entered Sera's room than she was pulled into her arms.

"Are you conscious right now?" Elise asked curiously as she was being held.

"Seeing you here helps me clear my head a bit." Sera nuzzled Elise's face, then kissed her on the cheek without any hesitation.

After wiping the drool off her face with some disgust, Elise continued, "Have you discovered anything while you've been here?"

"No, the mastermind behind it all is very mysterious. They haven't shown up yet, nor have they come looking for me."

"Alright, then be careful in everything you do. If you really run into anything..."

Before Elise could finish speaking, Sera naturally added, "I know, if you encounter someone you can't beat, just run. As long as you're not dead, there's hope. You've told me that countless times."

"Good to know. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

What should I do if I'm a little reluctant to see you leave?

"Don't try to use my tricks on me." Elise glared at Sera, annoyed. This guy, relying on his memories, really liked to do whatever he wanted in front of her.

"Give me a kiss and I'll let go."

A few minutes later, Elise walked out of Sera's room with a flushed face, and then used her shapeshifting ability to forcibly suppress the blush on her face.

Seeing her mistress come downstairs, the little maid said softly, "Miss, I won't be able to stay by your side from now on."

"Yes, you must be careful." Iris knew that the little maid was going to hunt down those who had killed her, so she couldn't help but be a little worried.

If she could, she would prefer that the little maid not remember those past events and just stay by her side.

But if that were the case, she didn't know if she could stay by the maid's side forever.

After ruffling the little maid's hair and watching her disappear into the shadows, Elise sighed softly and said to Sally, "Let's go."

"it is good."

Sally responded softly and activated the teleportation spell again.

When the group arrived at their destination, they were immediately hit by a wave of heat.

After Iris arrived, she changed into a thin long dress and activated the magical artifact that Flora had given her to shield her from the heat.

Elena, who possessed the Ice Dragon Crystal, was surrounded by icy mist, and the heat wave had no effect on her whatsoever.

Flora had prepared magical artifacts for use in various situations, which, when deployed, also shielded her from the effects of the heatwave.

Only Sally, who was completely unprepared, was already covered in sweat after standing there for only a short time.

"I can't, I have to go back. You guys keep up the good work, and call me back whenever you need me." With that, she teleported away.

Iris ignored Sally's departure, and silently raised her head to look at the distant Mount Doom.

Legend has it that this volcano erupted once, and that eruption directly destroyed an extremely powerful country, which is why this volcano is called the Doomsday Volcano.

Volume 1: Chapter 466 An Unexpected Development

9. "This is... Mount Doom."

As Elena gazed at the massive volcano billowing thick black smoke in the distance, a look of awe crossed her eyes.

Although she had seen pictures of Mount Doom in books before, the pictures were nothing compared to the real-life experience.

She had initially thought that the idea of ​​a volcanic eruption destroying a powerful ancient kingdom was just a fabricated legend, but now it seems that it might not be impossible.

Flora, who had never traveled far from home, was equally shocked upon seeing it. After the initial shock, she seemed to remember something and turned to Elise, asking, "Miss Elise, is the legend of Mount Doom true?"

"Yes, but the reason that ancient kingdom was destroyed was not only because of the eruption of Mount Doom, but mainly because they tried to enslave the primordial Titan who was sleeping in Mount Doom, and suffered His mad revenge after failing."

“The Progenitor Titan!” Flora blinked. She was familiar with the name. He was the progenitor of the Titans, the embodiment of destruction, and a being comparable to a god.

She never imagined that such a being would be dormant inside the Doomsday Volcano.

"Is He still there now?" Elena asked.

"Yes, but He is not in good condition. His head was even blown off. If nothing unexpected happens, He should be in a deep sleep now."

"We're only operating in the outer area of ​​Mount Doom this time, so we won't provoke it."

"Okay, so where do we go now?"

"This way."

After casually tossing down an insect egg, Elise led the two of them toward Mount Doom with practiced ease.

Before she had gone very far, Elena vaguely felt some memories related to Mount Doomsday surface in her mind; it was the scene of Elizabeth leading her to Mount Doomsday.

She saw a scene from her memory where she and Elise clashed with someone, and then a fight broke out, during which Elise was injured.

When the brief memory ended, Elena subconsciously looked at Iris, while also sensing everything around her.

"Is there anyone else here?"

Elise seemed somewhat surprised by Elena's words, but it was normal for her to have related memories since she had indeed brought Elena here before.

"That's right. Although this place is not suitable for human habitation, there are still people living here."

“Some of them are believers in the original Titans. They claim to be descendants of the Titans and are hostile to all outsiders, believing that outsiders will disturb the sacred original Titans.”

"Another group consists of descendants of the nation destroyed by the Founding Titan, whose ultimate wish is to completely destroy the Founding Titan."

Although Mount Doom is located within the kingdom's territory, the kingdom has not sent anyone to manage this area. When players enter the area of ​​Mount Doom, they will trigger the Mount Doom faction quest.

You can choose to join one of the factions and complete a series of quests to receive very generous rewards.

However, Elise was not interested in this because the questline was too long and the quests were too difficult, especially the questline for the descendants of the ancient kingdoms, the final task of which was to make the progenitor Titan fall completely.

Of course, you can also choose not to join either of these two factions and instead eliminate them all; the rewards you get are still quite good.

Just as Elise was explaining the situation of Mount Doom to the two sisters, Elena seemed to sense something, and her eyes became serious and vigilant.
