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

To be honest, Elsa was still somewhat amazed. Elsa's progress was just too fast. The magic she just used required a lot of magic power and also a lot of mental strength, but Elsa seemed quite relaxed. She could probably cast it a few more times.

Keep in mind that she's only at the fourth rank.

If this pace continues, it feels like Elsa could reach the sixth rank in a short time.

As for the seventh rank, it's not so easy to break through; otherwise, Nora and Elena wouldn't have stayed at the sixth rank for so long.

However, Elise estimated that by the time those two returned, they should be able to break through to the seventh rank.

Putting her wandering thoughts aside, Elise took Elsa back to the town.

The commotion was quite loud; it was impossible for the people in the town not to have heard it. Therefore, the mayor's attitude changed significantly after seeing the two return.

After confirming the cave had collapsed, he handed over the mission completion certificate to the two men without saying a word.

The remaining two tasks are very simple, involving clearing out low-level monsters, and they are not too far from here.

To Elise, this task was no different from children playing house, but since she didn't need to lift a finger, she could just watch Elsa from the sidelines.

Elsa handled the task with ease, clearing out the low-level monsters with remarkable skill.

Just as she was about to go to Elise to take credit, she noticed that Elise had her brows furrowed slightly.

"Teacher, is there anything wrong with my performance?"

"Your performance is fine; the problem lies with those monsters."

Although they were all low-level monsters that posed no real threat, Elise could clearly sense that they were behaving extremely violently.

It wouldn't be surprising if the monsters were berserk during a blood moon, but it's daytime now, and there's no blood moon.

Why is that?

Elise carefully recalled the events related to the berserk state of monsters, and the incident involving the 'Crimson Meteor' quickly came to mind.

One day, a blood-red meteor crashed on the outskirts of Seria. Since then, the monsters in the area have become frenzied, launching attacks on the surrounding villages and towns without regard for anything else.

Has a blood-red meteor fallen recently?

Elise hadn't really paid much attention to this kind of thing.

Since she didn't know the answer herself, Elise simply contacted Vivian.

"What is it?" Vivian's voice remained calm, as if she had completely forgotten what happened last night.

But Elise knew very well that Vivian was a petty person and must have remembered what happened last night. She would definitely take revenge on her when she found an opportunity.

So she spoke cautiously: "Um, I just wanted to ask, have any meteors fallen near Seria recently?"

Although she didn't know why Elise would ask such a question, she still had someone look into it.

Vivian's subordinates were extremely efficient. Before Elise could even exchange a few words with her, they already had the results: "According to the intelligence my people gave us, no meteors have fallen near Seria recently. What happened?"

"The monsters near Seria have become somewhat frenzied. I suspect that a blood-red meteor fell nearby."

"A blood-red meteor?"

"An extraterrestrial object with extremely high levels of pollution. I suspect the monsters' agitation is related to it, but there haven't been any meteors falling recently, which is a bit strange."

"Should I notify the official 8∠Seven Divisions》‰2 Monthly Fee Group∮≡: to search for people?"

"You can talk to the officials about the unrest in Warcraft, but don't mention the Crimson Meteor. Remember to tell me if you find anything."

"Okay, then be careful."

Vivian seemed to have other things to do, and ended the call with Iris after talking for a short time.

After the butterfly retracted its antennae, Elise had it scatter a large number of insect eggs, which hatched into various common insects and then scattered in all directions at an extremely fast speed.

"What happened?" Elsa asked quietly after seeing that Iris had finished what she was doing.

"It's nothing serious, let's go back."

"Oh."

Elsa didn't ask any more questions and quickly followed in Elise's footsteps.

Elise was still thinking about the Crimson Meteor when, as she was walking, she felt someone grab her hand.

The person holding her hand could only be Elsa.

She turned to look at Elsa and found the other looking at her with a mix of nervousness and shyness: "Um, I just suddenly had an urge to hold your hand, and I couldn't control myself, so I did this. Teacher, you won't be angry with me, will you?"

"No, you can pull me if you want." Elise didn't care about this at all, and it wouldn't matter if Elsa went a little too far.

"it is good."

Elsa seemed much more at ease after hearing Iris's words, and held Iris's hand until they returned to the Adventurers' Guild.

While Elsa went to submit her quest, Elise went to the quest board again and found that the number of quests to clear various monsters was indeed unusually high.

No, why should I worry about this? If there's a real problem, it should be the Empire that's having a headache.

Thinking about this, Elise felt much more relaxed.

Volume 1: Chapter 442 A Reluctant Compromise Leads to Accidental Killing

Several days passed in the blink of an eye. During these days, Elise accompanied Elsa to complete some simple and boring tasks.

After all, Elsa was still too naive and innocent, so she had been following Elsa around these past few days and teaching her a lot of things.

The tasks completed these past few days have mostly involved clearing out various magical beasts. After completing these tasks, Elise has basically confirmed that these magical beasts were affected by the Crimson Meteor.

She discovered crimson crystals on these magical beasts, a sign of being corrupted by crimson meteors.

Seeing Elise squatting to the side examining the monster's corpse, Elsa asked curiously, "Teacher, is there something wrong with that monster?"

"This magical beast has been corrupted. Be careful when you see a magical beast with these blood-red crystals. It's best not to get hurt, otherwise you will be corroded. After killing it, burn the corpse immediately."

Just as Elise was about to burn the body, a burning sensation suddenly came from the Gluttony Brand on the back of her hand, which was a sign that the Gluttony Brand was craving food.

As a dumping ground... a follower of the King of Gluttony, Elise knew this feeling all too well.

However, this feeling usually only occurs when there is top-notch food; it rarely happens at other times.

Elise had initially thought that the trash can wouldn't want this dirty stuff, but now she realized she had underestimated it.

Since the mark of gluttony has the desire to eat, Elise did not hesitate and directly summoned the invisible maw, which devoured all the surrounding corpses in a few moments.

Even after the meal was over, the lingering effects of binge eating continued to send cravings through Elise's body.

What they crave is not the corpse of a magical beast, but the blood-red crystals on the corrupted magical beast.

Elise never expected that the Gluttony Mark would crave the Crimson Crystal so much. If she found the Crimson Meteor and sacrificed it to the trash can, would her Gluttony Mark be able to advance?

Even a delicious meal can escalate the gluttony mark; if it were a blood-red meteor, the effect would probably be even greater, right?

Elise originally didn't intend to get involved in this matter, but since the Mark of Gluttony has a need, she can't help but step in.

However, it's a bit strange that the swarm of insects she sent out hasn't found any clues about the crimson meteor so far.

Elise has begun to suspect that the crimson meteor might have fallen somewhere else and been brought to Seria.

Only this can explain why there were no traces of falling meteors around, but there were monsters corrupted by blood-red meteors.

Finding the location of the blood-red meteor in a vast sea of ​​people is no easy task.

She had considered using the fragments of the Mirror of Omniscience to search, but the crimson meteor was connected to a terrifying being. If she used the fragments of the Mirror of Omniscience to search, she would almost certainly be noticed by that terrifying being.

Even just one glance was enough to give Elise a hard time.

"Forget it, let's go back first."

"Ok."

Elsa quickly walked to Iris's side and skillfully took her hand.

……

Upon returning to the manor, Elise heard an unexpected voice: "Long time no see. You seem to have something on your mind."

"Maybe it's because I've been missing you so much that I can't eat or sleep. You'd better take responsibility." Elise looked at Elena walking towards her and a smile bloomed on her face.

The atmosphere was clearly like that of lovers reunited after a long separation, but Elena said with a look of disgust, "Don't try to pin the blame on me!"

"Tsk." Elise's smile remained unchanged, but she was already thinking about how to teach Elena a lesson.

Back inside, Elise sat lazily on the sofa, crossed her legs, and looked at Elena: "Tell me, why did it take so long to get something?"

Upon hearing Elise bring up this matter, Elena couldn't help but sigh: "Don't mention it. I did find the dragon's remains according to the address you gave me, but when I was about to retrieve them, I was spotted by another dragon."

"And then you were hunted down?" Sally stroked her smooth chin and continued, "No wonder you were dressed in rags when I saw you."

"It was indeed a chase, but I was the one chasing that dragon."

"Huh?" Sally blinked. If she remembered correctly, adult dragons were at least seventh-tier beings, right?

As if she had seen through Sally's thoughts, Elena said with a hint of pride, "It's not a baby dragon, it's a fully grown storm dragon. It's incredibly fast, and it took me several days to finally kill it."

"Actually, there was nothing I could do about it. It said it would take me back to the Dragon Court for trial, so I had no choice but to compromise and accidentally killed it."

“What a compromise.” Sally smirked.

"I didn't expect you to be able to kill an adult dragon now." Elise narrowed her eyes and carefully observed Elena, discovering that the other party's strength was still at the sixth level. Even though she had reached the late stage of the sixth level, she was still not at the seventh level.

Is this the protagonist? He can slay dragons at the sixth rank, and even at the seventh rank, which is a qualitative leap.

Perhaps feeling a little embarrassed by Elise's stare, Elena coughed twice and said, "That dragon had just come of age and hadn't fully mastered its power yet, which is why I accidentally killed it."

"If I were at the seventh rank, it wouldn't take so long," Elena said with some regret.

She had tried to break through to the seventh rank, but she always felt like she was missing something. Even when fighting that storm dragon, she felt something was missing.

"After defeating that dragon, I returned to that place to retrieve its remains, but when I got back, the remains had already been taken away, so I chased after the culprit for several days."

Elise raised an eyebrow: "Your experiences are quite colorful. Someone who could fight you for several days must also be a seventh-tier being, right?"

"No, he was at the sixth level like me, and he was very strong. It took me a lot of effort to get that remains back."

"Was he wearing a set of black knight's armor?" Elise thought of a certain protagonist whose opportunity was stolen by Elena.

"How did you know?" Elena asked, somewhat surprised.

"Guess~"

Elena rolled her eyes; she wouldn't do something so pointless.

Seeing Elena's reaction, Elise curled her lip in boredom. Couldn't she be a little more curious?

"Being too curious can easily get you killed. Although you wouldn't harm me, you'll definitely try to trick me," Elena said calmly.

Volume 1: Chapter 443 Eat More to Have More Energy

"Is this how you see me?" Elise's eyes were filled with tears, as if tiny pearls might fall at any moment.

Although I knew Elise was faking it, I couldn't help it—this wicked woman really did shed tears.

The tearful Elise was as strong as a monster, and Elena, realizing she couldn't defeat her, decisively took out the gift she had prepared for Elise from her spatial ring.

It was a quiver containing seven arrows. Without even needing an introduction, Elise recognized the arrows from the system's identifier.

Dragon tooth arrows are arrows made from the teeth of giant dragons, and judging from the manufacturing process, they should be made using ancient techniques.

"Where did this come from?" If she remembered correctly, there shouldn't be this at the dragon's remains, right?

When asked about the origin of the items, Elena scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly and said, "These arrows were used by that person when he attacked me. After I snatched the remains back from him, I thought you also used a bow, so I went to retrieve them."

"As expected of you." Elise gave Elena a thumbs up with some admiration. Most people wouldn't think of retrieving the enemy's arrows.

However, the Dragon Tooth Arrow is indeed a very good item. Not only is it extremely powerful, but it can also be reused. Of course, the premise of reuse is that there are conditions for retrieval. For example, when Elena is chasing and beating him, he has no way to retrieve it even if he wants to.

Then these things ended up going to Elena.

Elise casually put the quiver into her spatial ring, then smiled and said to Elena, "Since you brought me a gift, I won't hold your rudeness against you just now."

Elena breathed a silent sigh of relief. She was genuinely worried that if Elise accepted the gift and then started looking at her with teary eyes, she really wouldn't know what to do.

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen the little maid. I even brought her a gift."

"She...she went out to do something."

The little maid had always disliked Elena, and now that she had awakened her memories, Elise figured that if the little maid came back, she would definitely fight Elena first.

After all, if we're talking about who killed Elise the most, it would probably be Elena.

You have to understand that when she first transmigrated, the first crisis she faced was Elena's kidnapping. However, she also had to thank Elena, because if Elena hadn't killed her so many times, she wouldn't have been able to change her mindset so quickly.

For some reason, Elena had a feeling that Elise was still holding back something.
