This time, Ronald could no longer hold on. Under the influence of the power of order, his body began to disintegrate, and in the blink of an eye, only a golden eyeball remained floating in mid-air. That eyeball was the Eye of Order, the true Eye of Order.
Elise didn't covet the eyeball. She simply picked up Hattie and rushed out of the basement. Even though the atmosphere here felt like home, she didn't want to stay any longer.
So weird.
After rushing out of the basement, Elise didn't even bother to conceal her presence and went straight out the front door.
The moment she left the Divine Realm of Order, she summoned Sera and had her run away with her.
The servants in the manor all looked at Elise with indifferent expressions, and not one of them stopped her, just watching her leave.
Volume 1: Chapter 405 Unless you become a half-orc
"You seem to have seen a ghost."
After bringing Elise back to Elira's mansion, Sera looked at Elise with a puzzled expression.
She felt it was rather inappropriate for the other person to have such an expression while wearing Elise's face.
"There's just a small problem." Elise scratched her head. Now was not the time to explain, so she didn't say much and simply carried Hattie into a room.
Elira looked at Hattie, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and asked with some concern, "How is she?"
“She’s fine. She’s just temporarily unconscious because she’s been corrupted by the power of order. I’ll help her sort things out.” As she spoke, Elise once again transformed the mark of greed into a holy mark of order.
Elise used the power of order to extract all the power of order from Hattie's body. After being extracted, this power of order was directly integrated into Elise's body. However, she did not care, as this level of power of order would not cause her too much erosion.
After all, her composition is far too complex. This little bit of power of order entering her body will probably be worn away by other marks, blessings, or holy symbols in no time.
Seeing that Hattie, who had been frowning, gradually relaxed under Elise's care, Elira also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, now all we need to do is let her rest, and everything will be fine."
"That's good. You've really worked hard this time."
"Yes, it was really tough. You have no idea what I just went through."
Upon hearing Elise's words, not only Elira but everyone else looked on with curiosity.
They were all very curious about what Elise had experienced in the realm of the gods of order.
Iris noticed their curiosity, so she got up and left the room, giving Hattie a quiet environment before telling them what had just happened in the Divine Realm of Order.
Upon hearing that Ronald had died because of his own laws, Elira frowned. "This isn't right. If nothing unexpected had happened, Ronald would have been the master of order. Why would something like that happen?"
“That’s exactly what I’m wondering about. After what happened before, I even started to doubt whether I was the master of that divine realm of order,” Elise complained.
“Now it seems very likely that Ronald is not the master of that domain of the God of Order,” Sera added from the side.
She possesses most of Elise's memories, and even under the influence of Elise's soul imprint, her behavior is similar to Elise's, so speculation quickly arose.
"If Ronald isn't the master of the Divine Realm of Order, then who is?" Elise leaned back on the sofa, seriously considering the information from the kingdom.
To create a divine realm of order, one must possess either the artifact of the God of Order or certain parts of the God of Order's body.
For example, the divine skin in Elise's possession can be used to create a divine realm of order. However, since she cannot control the divine skin for the time being, even if she creates a divine realm of order, the order within it will likely be chaotic.
Only those who are powerful enough can create the Divine Realm of Order using the corpse of the God of Order.
Currently, there are only a handful of people in the kingdom who can achieve this level of skill, but none of them seem to be suspects.
And most importantly, that divine realm of order was far too friendly to Iris; she could be said to have no restrictions within it.
Even Ronald's attempt to eliminate her using the law failed, and he even suffered a backlash from the power of order.
Even the followers of order can't do something like this, right?
Unless the God of Order personally intervenes.
"Forget it, if I can't figure it out, I won't think about it anymore. Anyway, the person has already been rescued." Iris yawned, then looked at Elira and said, "Have you thought about what you're going to do next?"
Although Hattie has been rescued, if she reappears in the public eye in a short period of time, it is likely to attract unnecessary attention.
Elira understood this as well. After thinking for a moment, she said, "How about I let Hattie stay with you for now?"
"Are you sure you want her to stay with me?" Elise's lips curled into a meaningful smile.
Upon hearing Elise's words, Elira realized that Elise was no good person, especially since she had been reborn with the inheritance of the God of Love, enabling her to charm others invisibly.
What if Hattie gets bewitched and becomes Elise's devoted fangirl if she stays by her side?
Thinking about this, Elira suddenly became somewhat conflicted.
However, her hesitation didn't last long, and her expression became resolute again: "Let her stay by your side. At least she'll feel more at ease with you than with her here in the kingdom. But you have to promise me you absolutely cannot seduce her!"
"What if she herself admires me?"
"She will never like you unless you become a half-orc."
As a longtime friend, Elira knew Hati's preferences very well, so she wasn't worried at all.
Elise knew Hattie's preferences, of course; she was just saying it casually, trying to tease Elira. Unfortunately, Elira didn't take the bait, which was really boring.
When are you planning to go back?
"You're kicking me out as soon as things are settled? You heartless woman." Elise looked at Elira with resentment, as if she had been abandoned by her.
Despite Elise's performance, Elira remained unmoved, simply saying, "I was just asking you routinely so I could prepare some gifts for you in advance. You can stay here as long as you like."
Aren't you coming back with me?
"No, the situation here in the kingdom is somewhat different from what I know. I want to stay here and see if I can find the reason for the changes."
As a reborn being, she had been reborn in the kingdom more than once or twice, but this time things were not quite as she had expected. You see, this time Elise, the witch who destroyed the world, did not cause any trouble in the kingdom, so there must be another reason.
"That's pretty much what I was thinking. Be careful, I'm planning to stay here for a few more days."
She hasn't taken Elsa away yet. She'll leave the kingdom whenever Elsa is willing to go with her.
"Okay, if there's anything I can help you with, just let me know. I need to go to Salom's house, so I'll be going now."
"Ah."
Volume 1: Chapter 406 Are you having trouble in your love life?
In the quiet basement, the sound of light footsteps suddenly came.
Elsa slowly walked to the pile of rotting flesh. Among the rotting flesh, only one eyeball stood out. As she approached, it even turned, shifting the pupil toward Elsa.
What should I say to you? Are you courting death?
Elsa stared coldly at the eyeball, then stomped on it and even ground it back and forth a few times.
"You actually want the teacher to die? You don't still think you're the high and mighty God of Order you used to be, do you? Why don't you try to guess who the master of this divine realm really is?"
Golden light shone from the soles of Elsa's shoes, seemingly trying to obliterate everything around her. However, in this divine realm of order, Elsa was the ruler, and no matter how much the golden light shone, it could not stir up even the slightest wave.
Still not satisfied, Elsa stomped on it a few more times, causing blood and flesh to splatter everywhere.
However, the splattered blood and flesh are blocked by an invisible force the moment they get close to Elsa, preventing them from touching her in the slightest.
After a while, Elsa stopped her somewhat frantic behavior. She withdrew her right leg, looked at the eyeball that was still undistorted, and muttered to herself, "I wonder what your eye is made of? How come it can't be crushed even after being stepped on like this?"
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to waste my time on you."
With a snap of her fingers, a jet-black cat appeared at Elsa's feet and gently rubbed against her calf.
"You can keep that as a toy."
"Meow~"
The black cat completely ignored the blood and gore splattered around it, approached the eyeball, looked at it, and then, as if it had found a fun toy, picked up the eyeball and disappeared into the basement as a black shadow.
You could vaguely see the eyeball twitching violently, yet it still couldn't escape the black cat's mouth.
Elsa then went to the secret room in the study.
Looking at the ransacked secret room, she showed no anger whatsoever; instead, she even smiled happily: "I wonder if Teacher will like the gift I gave her?"
"Let's wait until the truth comes out before asking. I'm already looking forward to seeing the teacher's expression when they find out the truth."
For some reason, Elsa's smile brightened, and if Iris were here, she would have noticed that this smile was very similar to Elsa's usual one.
……
After returning from Ronald's estate, Elise rested at Elira's house for a whole day.
The next morning, the maid went out to check the situation and found that Ronald's manor was still the same as usual, without any changes, and there was no news of Ronald's murder.
This information also confirms Elise's conjecture: the master of the Order of the Gods is not Ronald, but someone else, though she does not yet know who it is.
Until she figures out what's going on, she has to be careful with everything she does in the kingdom.
However, it wasn't to the point where she couldn't go out, so after finishing breakfast, she went straight out to find her students, who were still quite innocent and adorable.
When Elsa arrived near her house, she saw Elsa leaning against the second-floor balcony, lost in thought. Elsa didn't even notice her approaching.
Elise coughed lightly twice, which startled Elsa, who was leaning against the balcony. She looked at Elise downstairs in surprise, her eyes flashing with a hint of surprise and barely concealed joy: "You're here."
"Yeah, I didn't come to see you yesterday. Did you miss me?"
"No," Elsa muttered softly before hurriedly turning and going back to her room.
A moment later, Elsa saw her come downstairs, open the door, and stand in front of her. From Elsa's slightly out of breath, it was clear that she had run down the stairs.
At the same time, Elise felt that Elsa's current physical attributes must not be high, otherwise she wouldn't have performed like this. It seems that after keeping her by her side, she needs to train her properly.
"Where do you want to go today?" It was clear that Elsa was in a good mood; a faint smile had been on her lips ever since she saw Iris.
"If I remember correctly, there should be a Church of Love around here in Castel. If possible, I'd like to go and see it."
Upon hearing Elise's words, a look of surprise flashed in Elsa's eyes: "Miss Elise, is there something wrong with your love life?"
"No, I'm just curious about Cupid. Besides, do you think I might be having problems in that area?" Elise's lips curled up slightly as she leaned closer to Elsa. Although she didn't use her charm, her beauty and alluring gaze still made Elsa take a half step back.
Even her little face flushed slightly, making her look incredibly pure and adorable.
"Speak, don't suddenly get too close when you're talking!" Elsa glanced at Iris with a hint of helplessness, then walked around Iris and led the way.
The Church of Aphrodite is one of Caster's attractions. If you've won over a character in the game and want to marry them, you can go to the Church of Aphrodite. It's a very easy church to unlock.
Elise had always wanted to go, but never had the chance to come to Castor. This time was the perfect opportunity to go and see it.
As one of Castel's famous attractions, the closer you get to the Church of Aphrodite, the more couples you'll see heading there.
However, the kingdom is not an empire after all, and the atmosphere is more conservative, so all you see along the way are heterosexuals, and Elise and Elsa seem to be the odd ones out.
In addition, the two are good-looking, attracting a lot of attention along the way.
Despite the stares of those around her, Elise remained remarkably calm. This was nothing compared to when she was on the guillotine, where she was the center of attention.
Elsa, on the other hand, didn't have the same good attitude as Iris. She kept her face flushed and head down the whole way, and almost bumped into something several times. Luckily, Iris was there to hold her back.
When the two finally arrived at the Church of Aphrodite, there were even more people there, but it wasn't yet a sea of people.
The Church of Aphrodite here is the best-preserved of all the churches of Aphrodite she has ever seen, and there are even traces of human restoration.
As the successor to Eloise, she could even feel the surging power of faith within her as she stood there.
Elise slowly walked to the statue of Eloise and gently stretched out her hand.
Volume 1: Chapter 407 Just thinking about it is exciting!
"Wow, has my successor finally arrived?"
The moment Elise touched the statue of Eloise, she felt a moment of disorientation, and then she found herself alone in the huge church, with Eloise suddenly appearing in front of her.
This time, Eloise looks more... lively than before.
"Why are you looking at me like that? This isn't the first time you've seen me. Didn't you get enough of me before? If you haven't, I can let you take a good look. Do you want me to come closer?" Eloise chattered on as she moved closer to Elise, seemingly wanting to see Elise flustered by her sudden approach.
However, Eloise was clearly overthinking things. Her expression remained completely unchanged in the face of Elise's teasing, and she even looked at her as if she were some kind of fool.
This made Eloise feel offended.
She said angrily, "Can't you give me any reaction? Logically speaking, shouldn't you have shyly taken a half step back and asked me why I suddenly came closer or something?"
"These are all leftovers from my previous use, and what you said gives me a strange sense of déjà vu." If she remembered correctly, Elsa had just reacted in the same way the other person described.
"It's been so long since anyone talked to me, so please play along with me~" Eloise drooped her eyebrows and looked at Iris pitifully, as if she were pleading with her.
"You talk a lot more than you used to."
"There's nothing I can do. After all, there are more people coming here to pray, so my condition is naturally much better than others. Otherwise, would I have time to talk to you so much?"
“Since you’re so eloquent, then tell me why you chose me as your successor. I’m quite curious about that.” Elise narrowed her eyes.
"How would I know? You should ask my original self. But she seems to be dead already. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any successor. So what's going on with you?" Eloise looked at Iris with some confusion, as if she had just realized this problem.
