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

"It's nothing." For the sake of her salary, Elena gave up the urge to complain.

……

The day after Elena returned, Elise led her people to prepare to head to Star City.

This outstanding ability to act was something she cultivated through countless trials and tribulations; some things are easily missed if you don't seize the time.

Sometimes, missing out can mean the difference between life and death.

At the familiar train station, Elena saw Nora walking towards her and felt no surprise.

Elise had already told her about this operation last night.

For a C+ level adventurer to actually attack an A-level mercenary group would have been unthinkable in the past.

Upon arriving in front of Elise, Nora also observed the accompanying personnel. Although there were only two Tier 3 individuals, she sensed a dangerous aura emanating from them.

Especially that cute little maid, who made Nora feel like she had met her nemesis.

The moment the little maid saw Nora, she was already thinking about how to kill her.

Just then, Elise's gentle voice broke the heavy atmosphere: "Alright, everyone, let's not stand here anymore. Let's talk about it after we get in the car."

Nora followed behind Elise, asking her a question: "Why do I feel that the maid is dangerous?"

"Maybe she killed you?"

"what?"

"Just kidding," the maid Mio said, "she's a naturally gifted level four dark sorcerer. It's perfectly normal for you to feel danger from her."

"A born assassin?"

Nora did not underestimate her because the other party was only at the third level; on the contrary, she became even more cautious towards the little maid.

The fact that it could make someone at level five feel threatened, coupled with its profession as an assassin, was enough to attract her attention.

You see, the last time she went to Elise's house, the little maid was standing next to Elise, but she didn't feel even the slightest threat from her. If she had acted rashly then, she might have been the one who suffered.

It only takes two hours to get from Seria to Star City by magic train, so it's not that far.

The area surrounding Star City contains numerous ancient ruins, dense forests teeming with magical beasts, and even the remains of a large, unexplored ancient city.

These conditions have also drawn many adventurers to Star City.

This is a city of adventure, a city of opportunity, and a city of death.

On the train, Elena sat by the window, quietly flipping through "The Complete Guide to Classic Magic." Although she had two days off, she would enter the burning church whenever she fell asleep during those two days.

A life-or-death battle with another version of yourself.

In just two days, she lost count of how many times she was killed by her other self. As her strength increased, so did her opponent's. Even the magic she had taught herself, which she had originally intended to use as a trump card, was now being used by her other self.

And the ones she uses are far better than hers.

Sometimes she wonders if she can really overcome her other self.

But every time Qi Ling saw that other person—the one who had left behind that dead (lonely) look in Qi's eyes—she would reaffirm her resolve. She didn't want to one day find herself powerless to do anything when the person she wanted to protect was in danger.

Although she was killed for two more days, Elena also learned a lot from her other self.

"Why do you seem a little quiet today?" Elise's gentle voice rang in Elena's ear.

She looked up at Elise sitting opposite her and casually said, "I don't have the ability to read a book and chat at the same time."

"I just think you seem a little too enthusiastic."

Elise remembered that when she was training Elena, getting her to settle down and read a book was no easy task. But now, from the moment she got on the bus until now, Elena had barely said a word and had been looking at the book she had given her the whole time. Moreover, it seemed like she was about to finish reading it, and she probably hadn't slacked off in the past two days.

"I've discovered that I do have some talent for learning magic."

"I told you long ago, you're a born magician. As the one who discovered your talent, shouldn't you work an extra month of unpaid work as a thank you?"

"I might consider it if there are gold coins." Elena rolled her eyes; this woman always wanted her to work for free.

Elena would rather die than work for someone for free!

"Is our relationship just about dirty gold coin transactions?" Elise sighed with some melancholy, her slightly furrowed brows making Elena want to reach out and smooth them out.

Elena avoided eye contact with Iris and turned her gaze to the window. She found that this woman was becoming more and more difficult to deal with.

Nora, who had been observing Elise, felt increasingly unfamiliar with her.

Calm, elegant, with an attitude as if she had everything under control—is this really the Elise I know?

Upon noticing Nora looking at her, Elise gave her a faint smile.

Two hours passed quickly, and the train slowly pulled into Star City Station.

Nora had a strange feeling as soon as she entered the station, as if something was drawing her to a certain place.

Although she was not clear about the specific location of the tumor, she was able to sense the direction of the general group.

That was the location of another agent.

Noticing Nora's wary expression, Elise said softly, "Don't worry, your sudden appearance will definitely make her wary. She certainly won't act rashly; instead, she'll send someone to gather information first."

Elise was so confident because this wasn't the first time she had done something like this for Nora, and she knew everyone in the Sword Dance Mercenary Group very well.

In the past, she would have chosen to use her information advantage to capture and interrogate those who were trying to gather information, and extract the information she wanted.

However, this time she had a better method that could skip the interrogation step and give the other party a big gift.

"Let's go to the hotel first."

"If we stay in a hotel, it will be very easy for them to find us."

“This is exactly the effect I want.”

Nora frowned slightly, subconsciously wondering whether she should trust the other party, but considering her previous interactions with Him, she seemed to have no better choice now that things had come to this.

And she also wanted to see what Elise was up to.

……

In Star City, the inn where Elise is staying has a tavern on the first floor.

Many guests were enjoying lunch there, most of them adventurers, either boasting or chatting, their voices rising and falling, making it quite lively, or rather, noisy.

Beautiful maids strolled among the guests, occasionally joking with them and letting out clear, melodious laughter.

Just then, the inn door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man wearing leather armor walked in wearily.

The maid saw him and immediately greeted him with a sweet smile: "Mr. Fain, is it the usual today?"

"Yes, dear Gina, you've become even more charming in just a few days."

The maid gave him a meaningful smile: "Let me bring your food up first."

Farn nodded, watching the maid's swaying, plump hips as she left, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes. Then, he casually turned his gaze elsewhere, observing the surroundings.

Just then, a soft voice suddenly rang out: "Sir, are you alone?"

Fain subconsciously looked at the figure who had sat down on his own: long, light golden hair, a near-perfect face, flawless skin, and clear, sapphire-like eyes.

Then, his world consisted only of the stunningly beautiful girl in front of him.

His thoughts became chaotic, his body stiffened, and he began to realize that the stunningly beautiful girl before him was his goddess, and he was willing to give everything for her, even his life.

Looking at the fanatical Fane, Elise chuckled and began asking for the information she wanted.

No matter what Elise asks, the other party will tell her everything without reservation, even the deepest secrets in their heart.

However, she wasn't interested in the man's secrets. She just wanted to know if the sword dancer had left her post and, incidentally, to ask him to take her to see his companions. That was all.

The thought of a life-or-death battle between the leader of the Sword Dance Mercenary Group and the entire group is exhilarating.

Book 1: Chapter 34 Elise, Deeply Moved

Nora glanced at the fanatical Fain, then at Elise who still wore a smile, a hint of apprehension flashing in her eyes.

She didn't understand why, after Elise had only said a few words, that man had become Elise's... fanatic.

Indeed, she saw the shadow of fanaticism in Fane.

A madman who would give up everything for the god he believes in.

Noticing Nora's gaze, Elise moved closer to her with a mischievous glint in her eye. Nora subtly dodged to the side, and then Elise moved closer again, and Nora dodged away once more.

"Am I that scary?" Elise's eyes were filled with doubt and grievance, and her clear blue eyes seemed to be misty with tears.

Even Nora felt a pang of heartache for a moment when she saw Elise like this, but she quickly became wary again.

"Her abilities are useless against you." The ethereal voice rang in Nora's ears.

"What exactly is that ability?"

"You can think of it as the allure of a succubus, but it's more powerful than allure."

After hearing His explanation, Nora suddenly felt that Elise really did look a bit like a succubus.

Seeing that Nora remained unmoved, Elise also dropped her act: "Alright, alright, I'm not kidding anymore. Let's go visit his companions now."

Nora glanced at Farn: "You don't mean to..."

"That's right, I just want to talk to his companions. I believe they would be very willing to help us, these frail girls."

When there are no commissions, mercenaries don't stay at their base all the time, since they all have their own lives to live.

However, according to the information provided by Fain, Elaine had already recalled the mercenaries who were away to the base, but only sent him and a few other members out to gather information.

Although there were only a few people, that was enough as bait. Although her fishing skill was only level one, it did not prevent her from being a fishing master.

Qun wept, there was no temple, the weeping rose.

……

The base of the Sword Dance Mercenary Group.

Sword dancer Elaine sat languidly in the hall, waiting for news from her subordinates.

This was the first time she had sensed the presence of another agent, who certainly didn't know her identity either.

In such circumstances, intelligence becomes especially important, and as a local strongman in Star City, she has a great advantage in this regard.

She needed to know the other agent's strength, whether he had any entourage, and if so, the strength of those entourage.

Just to be on the safe side, she thought she could hire some outside help.

"Commander, Fane is back."

"Let him come to me."

A short while later, Faen came to Liu Yilianba's side and said, "Team leader, I followed your instructions and searched all the hotels in the Mio East District. I finally found the suspicious person."

"Tell me."

“Those are four young ladies from the capital. One is at the second level, two are at the third level, and I can’t tell who the third one is, but I sensed something similar to you from her, so she is very likely at the fifth level.”

"Is that all? Nothing else?"

“One of my lovers works at the hotel where they are staying. I asked her about it, and it turns out there are only the four of them, no one else.”

Do you know why they came here?

“My lovers asked, and they said they came here for an adventure, but I don’t know the specifics,” Farn said respectfully.

"Very good. Go back and have our people keep an eye on things. We'll start our operation tonight."

"Yes."

After Farn left, Elaine immediately summoned her deputy commander and instructed him to lead his men to lie in ambush near the inn after nightfall. As long as she, as the agent, did not move, the other side would certainly not make any move.

When they finally take action, they will find themselves surrounded.

This is the advantage of local power.

After assigning all the tasks, Elaine also communicated with the being residing in her body: "Great being, is there anything I've overlooked in my plan?"
