Abandoned streets, black market.
Elena slowly walked out of Old Vic's general store.
She had just replenished herself with a lot of alchemical poisons, various magic scrolls, and potions to deal with all sorts of situations.
Actually, she had wanted to do this for a long time, but since she didn't have a space ring before, she could only prepare some commonly used items on her person.
Now that she has money and a spatial ring, she naturally wants to be prepared for any situation.
Probing her mental energy into the spatial ring, Elena felt a sense of security as she looked at the dazzling array of items inside.
She took out her pocket watch to check the time, then took out a magical flying sword and flew directly towards Elise's manor.
If we rush back now, we can make it in time for lunch.
Elena, riding on a magic guide ball flying sword, soared through the air and soon arrived above the manor.
She had originally planned to land directly at the gate, but after seeing Elise in the garden, she changed her mind and decided to go directly to Elise to talk to her.
Her sister is planning to visit her aristocratic classmate who helped her a lot at school. Elena is going to ask if she needs to make any preparations, since she is just a commoner and doesn't understand the intricacies of aristocratic life.
Therefore, it would be safest to consult Elise about this matter.

Just as Elena approached Elise, about to say something, she saw her younger sister smiling and talking to Elise.
Elena was stunned when she saw this.
The sound of the magical flying sword also caught their attention.
Upon seeing her sister, Flora's face showed surprise: "Sister, what are you doing here?"
"That's the question I should be asking you." Elena maneuvered her magical flying sword and landed in front of the two of them, her gaze towards them somewhat complicated.
That wicked woman, Elise, wouldn't she... do something to her sister...?
Just as Elena's thoughts began to wander, Flora spoke up, explaining, "Do you remember that classmate I told you about before who was so kind to me?"
"The classmate you're talking about, could it be Iris?"
“Yes.” Hearing her sister call Elise by her first name, Flora asked cautiously, “Sister, do you know Miss Elise too?”
"Of course I know him, how could I not?"
As Elena spoke, she gave Elise a wink, but the wicked woman pretended not to understand her wink and stood there looking bewildered.
Elena said to Iris in an annoyed tone, "Come here, I have something to say to you."
"Ok."
Elise followed Elena a short distance away, and only after Elena was sure her sister wouldn't hear her did she speak, "What exactly is going on between you and my sister?"
"Don't worry, it's not what you think. It's just that we invested in your sister because she's very talented in magical craftsmanship."
As Elise spoke, she showed the changing ring to Elena: "This was given to me by your sister today; it's the latest research result."
"What else is this thing good for besides changing clothes?"
"If you want, you can also use it to quickly replace magical devices, or even magical armor."
With just one simple sentence, Elena instantly understood the ring's usefulness for magic-based classes. Even non-magic-based classes could use the ring to change equipment.
"Speaking of which, you've come back at just the right time. There's something I need to discuss with you."
"whats the matter?"
"This matter is also somewhat related to Flora. Let's invite her to the living room."
When the two sisters arrived at the living room, Elise told Elena about what she had discussed with Flora earlier.
Elena had no reason to refuse such a mutually beneficial proposal, and the cooperation was quickly finalized.
Flora provided the magical artifacts, while Elise was responsible for their operation and sales, with the final profits split 50/50. Elise hadn't originally intended for such a large sum, but after discussing it, the two sisters realized that without Elise's presence, Flora wouldn't have had this idea, and even her entry into the Ancient Arena to obtain the inheritance was thanks to Elise's help.
Elise was a little embarrassed by what she said.
After the discussion ended, Flora seemed to remember something important and turned to her sister, saying, "Sis, what are you doing here?"
Volume 1: Chapter 206 Would you be interested in working part-time as a berserker?
“Me? Elise is my employer,” Elena said, scratching her head.
She thought about it carefully and realized that she hadn't told her sister about this at all; she had only told the other person that her employer treated her quite well.
Thinking about this, Elena became somewhat troubled. Flora had told Elise what she had said, and given Elise's wicked nature, she was afraid that Elise would keep using this matter to provoke her.
Upon hearing her sister's words, Flora's eyes widened. She hadn't expected that the employer her sister had mentioned who had treated her so well was actually Miss Iris.
Miss Elise is indeed a good person.
“By the way, I’m going back to my family’s territory tomorrow. Would you like to come with us?” Elise invited Flora.
Although the other person was wearing glasses to conceal it, Elise could still tell that the other person had been staying up late these past few days, probably to develop the magical device before she went home.
A hint of hesitation flashed in Flora's eyes, but just then, Elena spoke up and said, "We haven't gone out together in a long time, why don't we go for a walk together?"
Seeing that her sister had already said so, Flora nodded and said to Elise, "Then, Miss Elise, I'll take my leave."
"It's not a problem at all. I just happen to have some new ideas recently, and I can share them with you while I'm on the road."
Upon hearing that Iris had a new idea, Flora's eyes lit up instantly, like a playboy seeing a beautiful woman.
Elise suddenly felt that Flora and Nora were more like sisters. One was obsessed with the thrill of battle, while the other was obsessed with magical artifacts. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe the two of them as two pieces of wood.
After chatting for a while, it was time to eat.
Flora was originally planning to leave, but she stayed after being persuaded by Elise and Elena.
They left after the meal, citing packing their things as the reason.
After Flora left, Elena glanced at Iris silently and said, "I feel like you're being a little too nice to my sister."
"Your sister was kidnapped because of me. I'm doing this as compensation, and I have high hopes for her potential."
“Of course, the most important reason is because she’s your sister.” Elise whispered sweetly in Elena’s ear, “Given our relationship, isn’t your sister my sister too?”
Feeling a slight itch in her ears, Elena unconsciously tilted her head, her face showing a hesitant expression. Then she simply turned her head and said, "Anyway, as long as you don't trick her, it's fine."
"Don't worry, I wouldn't want you to leave me."
Hearing Elise's ambiguous words, even Elena found it difficult to respond.
This kind of rhetoric had no effect on her before, but ever since she developed a relationship with Elise that went beyond friendship, she found that many of the tricks that Elise used to use against her were now working.
Moreover, every now and then, when she heard those words, she would feel a sense of familiarity, as if Elise had said something similar to her before.
It seems that my relationship with Elise in my past life was quite close.
Just as Elise was about to return to the manor, she seemed to remember something important and said to Elena, "By the way, I heard from Flora that my employer treats you quite well."
"How did you know?" Elena had been staying by her sister's side the whole time to prevent her from letting the secret slip.
"Of course, I got the information from her before you came back. Should I thank you for your praise?"
"Huh, I'm just telling the truth."
"As a reward for your honesty, would you like to come to my room tonight?"
"No."
……
The next day, Flora was already waiting at the Magic Train station.
Because of the spatial ring, she didn't seem to be carrying any luggage.
She looked around and soon saw Elise and her group slowly walking towards her from a distance.
Although it had been countless times they had met, Flora still felt a little nervous when facing Elise, and her voice trembled slightly as she greeted her.
Elise gave her a perfect smile: "I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting."
"No, no, I came ahead of time."
Just then, Flora noticed that her sister looked unwell, with heavy dark circles under her eyes, as if she hadn't slept well the night before.
"Sister, are you okay?"
Faced with her sister's concern, Elena looked away guiltily before casually saying, "It's nothing, I just didn't sleep well last night."
As for why she didn't sleep well, Elena didn't say, nor could she say.
"Now that everyone is here, let's set off."
Elizabeth walked into the train station with her hair down; the maid had already booked the tickets for her yesterday.
Looking at the ticket for the luxury private carriage in her hand, Sally thought that if she remembered correctly, it must have been expensive.
"Why can't I use long-distance teleportation? It would only take two or three teleportations to get me from here to the territory of Noys."
"Isn't it good that it's not far, only a few hours away, and we can enjoy the scenery along the way?"
Although Elise's words sounded nice, in reality she just wanted to scatter some insect eggs along the way, making her own contribution to the Empire's insect colonization.
Since Elise had already said that, Sally didn't say anything more. However, before the train arrived at the station, she still moved closer to Elise and asked, "Miss Elise, may I ask if you have any way to make me stronger?"
"Why do you suddenly want to become stronger?"
"Because you said before that my sister's disappearance is extremely complicated, and without strong strength, even if you know the information, it will be in vain, so I thought I would improve myself."
Sally never imagined that she would one day actively improve her strength, since she hated fighting the most. But in order to find her sister, there are some things that she had to learn to accept, no matter how much she hated them.
Sally is one of the main characters in the game. Although choosing her as the protagonist means playing a game about stealth and theft, as the saying goes, if you kill everyone, no one will find out.
Because of this, some players have developed a burst damage playstyle for Sally based on her talents, which is quite fun to play.
"Yes, there definitely are. I wonder if you'd be interested in working part-time as a berserker?"
"what?"
Volume 1: Chapter 207 Miss, can you hug me?
"Is it really okay for a thief like me to also work as a berserker?"
She's good at stealing, but she's not so good at fighting, especially since she's also a part-time berserker.
"Of course, no problem. You currently lack combat experience. If you take on the role of a berserker, you can unleash the most powerful offensive in the simplest and most brutal way."
“Moreover, being a part-time berserker also allows you to master an extremely…” At this point, Elise paused for a moment, as if searching for a suitable adjective, before continuing, “an extremely wondrous assassination technique.”
Seeing Elise's serious expression, Sally realized that Elise wasn't joking with her.
She hesitated for a moment, then said, "Shall I give it a try?"
"Well, but if we really want to take on part-time jobs, we'll have to wait until a week later, when we get back from the territory."
"Ok."
Sally nodded seriously. Although she hadn't been by Elise's side for very long, she knew Elise quite well.
Sometimes she does make some rather strange decisions, but as long as you do as she says, you can usually achieve unexpected results.
After waiting for about half an hour, the magic train arrived at the station.
Flora was very excited to ride the magic train for the first time. Her big eyes were fixed on the magic train that had just entered the station, just like Rumia saw Iris and wanted to rush over and touch every inch of the train's exterior.
Unlike Rumia, who at least wouldn't want to disassemble Iris to admire her, Flora was thinking about what a beautiful sight it would be if the magical train were disassembled.
Seeing her younger sister, who was crying and standing there blankly, Liu Ai (Lina) coughed twice. After realizing that the other person was not moving, she reached out and pulled the other person into the carriage.
This time, Elise booked a luxury carriage, which was much more spacious than before and even had a private toilet and bathroom.
If Iris needs it, she can also use the communication magic device inside the carriage to directly ask the chef to prepare the dishes she wants and have them delivered.
Of course, this kind of experience requires a lot of gold coins.
If it weren't for Elise's previous great achievements, and Flora's invention of the costume-changing ring, she really wouldn't have been willing to be so extravagant.
"Are all the carriages on the magic train like this?" Flora asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Of course not, this is a luxury carriage that Elise specially booked at a high price."
"Since there's nothing else to do right now, why don't you take your sister to explore the other carriages? She seems quite interested in them."
Hearing Elise's words, Elena nodded. As Flora's sister, she had actually noticed it as well, but since Elise was her employer, she didn't bring it up herself.
Since Elise had spoken, she took her sister and left the carriage first.
