"How significant is the impact?"
“It doesn’t have any impact.”
Since Theresa had already said so, Elise nodded slightly and then continued leading her people toward the Land of Hope.
Whether it was because the dark clouds were absorbed or because Theresa took another step toward the container, the rest of the journey went surprisingly smoothly.
The most dangerous time was when she encountered an eighth-tier cursed monster, which Teresa ate without even Sera having to lift a finger.
As they drew closer to the Land of Hope, the faces of the Cursed People showed varying degrees of excitement.
When everyone approached the outer area, Elise also made them stop.
After all, the people of the curse would not survive if they left the cursed land like this.
Therefore, you need to disinfect yourself before leaving.
The disinfectant used was the Pure Sun, which Elise had borrowed from the Eternal Temple.
When she entered the cursed fertile land, the simple base of the pure sun had already been completed and placed inside a makeshift matchbox.
This matchbox is half in the Land of Hope and half in the Cursed Land.
After all, while the purifying effect of the Pure Sun is quite strong, being exposed to it for a certain period of time will forcibly transform one into a fanatical believer in the Eternal God.
That's why a matchbox is needed to block out the light source.
Lily had arrived earlier, and upon seeing that Elise was safe and sound, a lovely smile appeared on her face: "You're back. It looks like everything went well."
"It's alright, have you done all the preparations I asked you to?"
"Yes, we can start anytime."
After receiving a positive reply, Elise re-entered the Cursed Fertile Land and said to the chieftain of the Cursed People, "As I said before, line up and enter one by one. It may take a little time."
"It's alright, we've endured so much already." Although the clan leader tried his best to remain calm, he couldn't help but get excited.
"Then I'll leave this to you."
After saying that, Elise went to the matchbox and watched a little girl who was not even ten years old walk into it.
Under the pure sunlight, strange patterns appeared on the little girl's body, and a look of pain appeared on her face.
As the purifying light continued to shine, the markings on the little girl's body gradually disappeared. Once the eerie markings were completely gone, the gate to the land of hope was opened.
Stepping out the door, the little girl was momentarily stunned. Looking at the azure sky, feeling the warm sunshine, and experiencing the refreshing breeze, she felt as if she had entered another world.
Just then, a slender, white hand suddenly covered her eyes, and Miss Elise's familiar and great voice rang in her ears: "Don't look directly at the sun, it's bad for your eyes."
"Miss Iris!" The little girl was both excited and nervous.
"Go over there and rest. Someone has prepared food for you. You can have something to eat first."
The little girl was a little nervous and wanted to express her gratitude, but she felt that words of thanks were too pale, and she froze there for a moment, feeling a little helpless.
Elise chuckled softly, ruffled her hair, and then led her directly to the makeshift resting place: "Rest well. You should feel a little weak after the purification, but you should recover after a few days of rest."
After saying that, Elise returned to Theresa's side and said, "This is only a temporary solution; they will have to undergo purification every now and then."
The cursed people have lived in the cursed land for too long, so long that the curse has seeped into their blood and even their souls, making complete purification impossible unless they obtain the power of the curse or purify their souls as well.
"It's already very good. Leave the rest to me. I will... end this suffering that has lasted for countless years."
I've typed all the words, but I forgot to upload them. I'm very sorry, I'll add more later when I have time.
Volume 1: Chapter 631 Fragrant
"I'm so tired, I want to sleep."
Elise stealthily approached Lily from behind, reaching out to wrap her arms around Lily's slender waist, and leaning most of her weight onto Lily.
Although Lily's figure was rather petite, making the scene look a little strange, Lily didn't care about Elise's weight at all. What she cared about was why this bad woman was coming to find her when she was sleeping.
"If you want to sleep, go home and sleep. Why are you telling me all this?" Although Lily looked disgusted, her body was now very obedient due to the influence of the World Tree, and she even unconsciously rubbed against it.
"I need a small and cute body pillow."
"I'm not your body pillow, and I'm not petite either. I... I'm just like this now because I'm used to it."
She no longer needs to maintain that posture to conserve energy, but perhaps due to habit, she is not used to returning to her normal appearance.
"Yes, yes, so are you going to sleep now?"
"I... I still need to stay here and supervise."
"You might fool others with your words, but don't try to fool me." Elise noticed that Lily seemed a bit idle, which is why she approached her.
If Lily is really busy, she won't intentionally cause trouble for the other party.
Lily felt her cheeks flush slightly after her secret was exposed, but she still gave a soft hum and said, "Fine, I'll take you back, but I won't sleep with you."
Although that's what she said, after Lily brought Elise back to the manor, she still followed her back to her room.
The manor in the Land of Hope is similar to, or rather, designed and built according to, the manor of Elise in Seria, with even the room layout being exactly the same.
Just as Lily returned to her room and was about to say something, she noticed that Elise's clothes had disappeared.
She instinctively covered her eyes and asked nervously, "What, what are you doing?!"
"Take a bath? I haven't taken a bath in the Cursed Fertile Lands, I feel like I'm going to stink." Elise pouted.
"Really? I think it smells nice." Lily said subconsciously, but she regretted it as soon as the words left her mouth.
Sure enough, Elise, who was about to go into the bathroom, quickly approached Lily with light steps after hearing this: "I didn't expect that you, who look so innocent, would do such a strange thing."
"Who, who sniffed you? I just happened to be right next to you," Lily said, flustered, trying to defend herself.
"Okay, you don't need to be shy anymore. I wouldn't mind if it were you. Instead, would you like to take a shower together?"
"No, please." Lily refused Elise's invitation with some difficulty.
Who knows what strange things Elise might do to me while I'm taking a bath with her? Wait, I'm a ninth-tier being. Even if something were to happen, it would be to that wicked woman, Elise. What's there for me to hesitate about?
But it seemed too late for her to understand now, because the sound of running water could be heard from the bathroom, and she could also faintly hear Elise humming an unknown lullaby.
Lily rubbed her cheeks and sighed with a touch of melancholy.
She was now hesitant, wondering whether to leave, but deep down she felt a pang of reluctance, knowing that she hadn't experienced pleasure in a long time.
But we used to be self-sufficient, now...
Just as Lily was lost in thought, Elise's familiar voice suddenly rang out: "What are you daydreaming about?"
Hearing the voice, Lily paused for a moment and asked instinctively, "You're done so quickly?"
"I've been showering in there for half an hour, but what about you? Your face is all red. What are you thinking about? You're not thinking about something pleasurable, are you?"
After her bath, Elise was only wearing a thin nightgown, and her bent-over posture allowed Lily to immediately see a deep abyss, even...
She stiffly turned her gaze elsewhere, then said, "Who wants to think about that nonsense? I'm going to take a shower!"
After saying that, Lily rushed into the bathroom without even having time to respond to what the other person had said.
While taking a shower, Lily was already trying to mentally prepare herself, even imagining a lot of strange scenarios.
She had already prepared herself, but when she came out of the bathroom, she found that Elise, that wicked woman, was lying asleep on the bed.
It's hard, the fist is hard.
Lily sullenly approached the bedside. This wicked woman had just been flirting with her, but now she was sound asleep without a care in the world. How could she possibly sleep?
She was initially a little angry, but after seeing Elise's peaceful sleeping face, for some reason, her frustration suddenly dissipated.
Thinking about it carefully, Elise was indeed quite tired these past few days in the Cursed Fertile Lands, so it's understandable that she took a nap after coming back.
Lily reached out to poke Iris's fair and smooth face, but withdrew her hand before even touching her, not wanting to disturb her rest.
After hesitating for a moment, Lily still crawled into bed. As soon as she lay down, she was used as a pillow and held in Iris's arms, overwhelmed by the fragrance of morning dew flowers.
Lily took a deep, greedy breath and then slowly closed her eyes.
……
"Yawn~"
Lily yawned lazily as she woke up, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Iris looking at her with a resentful expression.
Lily blinked, looking a little confused, and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"They were completely off guard last night, and you didn't do anything. I misjudged you," Elise muttered softly.
"?"
Lily was stunned for a moment before she realized what she meant. She said angrily, "How dare you say that? You know I was in the bathroom..."
She wanted to say that she had been mentally preparing for a long time, but she was too embarrassed to say it, so she froze for a moment.
Elise, like a curious child, moved closer to Lily again: "So, what did you do in the bathroom?"
"No, it's nothing, anyway, I'm not that kind of person!" Lily said this and quickly got up and left Iris's room, worried that if they continued talking, she would catch a fever!
Watching the other person's retreating figure, Elise muttered to herself, "Looks like I'll have to take the initiative this time."
Volume 1: Chapter 632 A Strange Feeling
When Elise came downstairs to have dinner, Lily had already returned to her usual cute and adorable self, as if nothing had happened the night before.
That is indeed the case.
Feeling Elise's gaze, Lily awkwardly avoided eye contact. She hadn't done anything wrong, so why did she feel so guilty?
Elise chuckled softly, then sat down next to Lily: "How are things going with the resettlement of the Cursed People?"
"The preparations for resettlement have been completed long ago, and if all goes well, the purification of everyone should be completed today." When talking about serious matters, Lily's expression became serious.
"Speaking of which, the people of the cursed are quite strong. I saw a child who was not even ten years old and he was already at the fifth level."
"There's nothing we can do about it. You have to understand that because of the curse, very few people born under the curse live past thirty. Moreover, the Cursed Fertile Land is fraught with danger. The only way to survive is to exhaust yourself."
Theresa was in a similar situation when she was in the Cursed Fertile Land. However, because she was plagued by various curses, no matter how hard she tried, it was difficult for her to improve. Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken her hundreds of years to get out of the Cursed Fertile Land.
She was only at the third rank when she left the Cursed Fertile Land.
After quickly finishing breakfast, Lily and Elise arrived at the settlement of the cursed people.
The resettlement area is located within the city. Although it is called a resettlement area, it is fully equipped with various facilities and is no different from other places in the city.
The cursed people who have been relocated here are getting used to their new lives. Unlike when they were in the Cursed Fertile Land, everyone's eyes are now filled with hope for life.
Upon seeing Elise, all of them looked at her with great reverence, and Elise could even feel the power of their faith.
Here, Elise even saw a statue of herself and Theresa.
There were many cursed people praying devoutly in front of the statue, including a cursed person named Constantine.
Perhaps sensing Elise's presence, he quickly stood up and walked to her side, saying with a fervent expression, "Miss Elise, you've arrived."
"Yes, let's see how things are going on your end."
“We are doing well, better than ever before.” There is no curse that could erupt at any moment, no sudden danger. This is the life they have always dreamed of, and it is all thanks to Miss Elise.
Feeling the fanatical gaze of the other party, and the power of faith they offered, Elise estimated that even if she asked the other party to die right now, they would give their life without hesitation. This feeling... was wonderful.
"That's good, but don't let your guard down. After all, the curse on you has only been temporarily purified and could relapse at any time."
"Yes!" Constantine's eyes blazed with even more fervor in response to Iris's concern.
Lily, who was standing to the side, gave Elise a strange look. The Elise she knew wasn't exactly a good person.
However, she didn't say anything until after the two left the resettlement area, when she couldn't help but ask, "Why are you suddenly concerned about other people?"
"With just one simple sentence, you can gain a fanatical follower. Don't you think it's worth it?"
"Fine, I knew you had ulterior motives." Lily pouted.
"Hehe." Elise grabbed Lily's hand and said, "It's still early, want to go for a walk together?"
"Where to go?"
"Let's go to Castor, we can teleport there anyway."
"it is good."
Although Lily was already quite familiar with Castor, she wouldn't mind visiting him a few more times if a bad woman was by her side.
……
"It's as lively as ever here."
