Seeing Elira's contented expression, Elise's lips curled up slightly. She didn't tease her any further, but simply took out a nautical chart, pointed to an island on it, and said, "Stop for a moment when we pass by here."
"Okay, I estimate we'll be at the place you mentioned in about two hours."
"it is good."
Two hours isn't a long time; the time passed quickly during the maid's massage.
When Elise was awakened, the ghost ship had already stopped.
Because this is a deserted island without a port or anything like that, the ghost ship is anchored at sea, some distance from the land, but that's no big deal for the people who are wearing it.
"I'll stay here and watch the house," Elira said lazily, leaning against the ship's railing, showing no interest in the deserted island.
"Then it's hard work for you."
Elise looked at Elena, and without needing her to say anything, Elena directly manipulated the power of space, teleporting Elise and the others directly to the beach of the deserted island.
Lily looked around curiously: "Is there anything special about this island?"
"There is an ancient ruin on this island. You can go and take a look if you are interested, but don't enter the teleportation array inside, or it will send you back to Falling Star Harbor."
"In other words, as long as the teleportation array there is activated, people from Falling Star Harbor can be teleported here."
"Ah."
"Then I'll go take a look." After saying that, Lily disappeared from the spot.
The maid glanced at her mistress silently and said, "I remember there should be some rare ingredients here. I'll go take a look."
Elena glanced at the little maid with some surprise, seemingly not expecting that the other would choose to leave Iris.
Just then, Elise gently tugged at Elena's sleeve and said, "Let's revisit this place together!"
"If I remember correctly, this is where we landed, right?" Elena looked around and began to compare the scene with her memory.
What surfaced in her memory was clearly the scene of Elise waking her from her coma and then beginning to explore the island, but for some reason, her memory began to fluctuate at this moment.
In a daze, she saw herself on this beach, confronting Elise head-on.
Although it was just a blurry image, it stirred up a storm in Elena's heart.
It seems that I fought with Elise in this very place.
"I remember there was a cave if you went in from here."
Although Elise noticed the dazed look in Elena's eyes, she didn't pay it any mind and simply led her deeper into the island.
The magic transformed into an invisible hand, clearing away the dense vegetation around them.
Soon the two arrived at the entrance of a cave.
Elena had a deep impression of this cave. She remembered that she and Elise had spent almost a month there, and they would sleep in each other's arms every night.
Just as the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up, fragments of inexplicable memories resurfaced.
She saw Elise, her body contorted in pain, slumped at the deepest part of the cave, her eyes filled with despair and death.
This also made Elena, who was about to enter the cave, stop in her tracks.
Noticing Elena's condition, Elise tilted her head and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I..." Looking at Elise's bright smile, Elena was speechless for a moment.
She wanted to ask Elise if anything else had happened between them here, but she was also afraid—afraid that if she knew the truth, she wouldn't be able to face her anymore.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to remind you that there's a magical beast inside this cave."
"I know, but it's only level five."
Elise walked straight into the cave as if she hadn't noticed anything.
A fifth-tier giant bear lived in the cave, but it was bewitched by Elise as soon as they met.
As Elena followed behind Elise deeper into the cave, the inexplicable memories became clearer.
She remembered herself from her memories and realized she hadn't killed Elise.
But he did something even worse than killing her.
It seems she left the incapacitated Elise in this cave.
Volume 1: Chapter 670 She's Afraid of Me
Loneliness, pain, and even the inability to end one's own life; one can only quietly wait for life to pass away.
Thirst, hunger, and the nibbling of unknown insects.
The feelings she had almost forgotten surged back up, Elise's breathing grew heavier, and a deep fear appeared in her pupils.
Elise's reaction also interrupted Elena's thoughts; she noticed that Elise's expression seemed to have turned somewhat unpleasant.
She instinctively reached out to grab the other person, but Elise dodged her.
In that instant, she saw a deep fear in Elise's eyes.
She... was afraid of herself.
"Sorry, I just suddenly remembered something... Never mind, it's nothing." Elise took a deep breath, then turned and left the cave.
Watching Elise's retreating figure, Elena opened her mouth, words of comfort stuck in her throat, but she couldn't bring herself to say them.
Leaving the cave, Elise's rapid breathing gradually calmed down, and her familiar smile returned. She turned to Elena and said, "Let's go check out the ruins. Lily should have cleaned it up by now."
"……it is good."
Elena sighed softly, then teleported directly to the entrance of the ruins with Iris.
You can see two goblins made into potted plants at the entrance, which are undoubtedly Lily's creation.
The deeper you go, the more potted plants you'll see.
The two arrived at a large hall, where they saw Lily standing by the wall, studying the ancient murals. Behind her were dozens of goblins that had been made into potted plants, full of life.
Of course, the "vibrant life" here refers to the plants that parasitize inside the goblin's body.
Sensing the familiar presence, Lily didn't turn around, but casually asked, "Have you finished shopping?"
"Hmm, have you figured out anything about this mural?"
"It seems to record the legend of Falling Star Harbor." Lily turned to look at the two people who walked into the hall, a look of doubt flashing in her eyes.
When they first arrived on the island, both Elise and Elena seemed to be in a good mood, so why does the atmosphere between them feel a bit strange now?
However, Lily didn't think much of it. She walked directly to the teleportation array and could see that it had been activated, but she didn't use it.
"Where is this teleported to, at Starfall Harbor?"
"Is the underground fourth floor of the Fallen Star Hong Kong and Kowloon site related to the four events recorded on the murals?"
"The legend of the Starfall Harbor being a unique geographical feature created by the fall of a star?" Lily asked with some curiosity.
"That's right. Through this teleportation array, you can be directly teleported to the underground ruins of Falling Star Harbor. The legendary star fragments can be found at the deepest part of the ruins."
Star fragments are rare materials that can be used to forge god-slaying weapons, and they are something Elise is determined to obtain on this trip, but not now, but on her return journey.
"So the legend was true."
"If you're interested, we can explore it together on the way back."
"Okay."
A glint of excitement flashed in Lily's eyes; she hadn't really experienced any adventure since breaking free of her constraints.
"There's nothing else here, let's go back to the ship."
"Where is the little maid?"
"She went back ahead of time."
"Oh."
Lily glanced at the silent Elena, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
However, this time Elise did not answer their questions, but simply had Elena lead them back to the ship.
When Elera saw the group return, she instinctively wanted to ask them something, but she keenly sensed that Elise, Elena, and even the little maid seemed to have some emotional issues.
To avoid being implicated, she decisively pretended that she hadn't noticed anything and said, "Now that you're all back, I'm setting sail."
As Elira finished speaking, the ghost ship automatically raised its sails and continued its journey toward its destination.
"I was woken up so early this morning, I want to go catch up on my sleep." Elise yawned lazily, then went back to the captain's cabin with the maid.
As soon as Iris returned to the captain's cabin, she felt the little maid's warm embrace.
Elise leaned gently against the little maid and said softly, "Misha, I'm alright."
"I know, I just wanted to hug you, Miss." The maid buried her face in her mistress's neck and murmured softly.
She remembered that once, after her mistress disappeared, she frantically searched for her whereabouts and eventually found this island, where she discovered her mistress's rotting body in the cave.
That scene remains vivid in her memory to this day.
The reason she left just now was not to create any space for her young mistress; she was worried that she might not be able to resist the urge to kill Elena.
Sensing the maid's emotions, Elise could roughly guess that the maid had eventually found her.
"Misha, can you take a nap with me?"
"it is good."
Elise lay quietly on the bed, feeling the little maid's soft and fragrant body, and soon fell into a nightmare.
……
After returning from her trip to the island, Elena never left the ship's cabin. She remained in the burning church, engaged in a life-or-death struggle with another version of herself.
Even after experiencing death dozens of times, he still couldn't become numb.
After being killed once again, Elena entered her dragon form again, looked at her other self, and said in a hoarse voice, "Again."
"Venting won't improve you; you should go back to reality," Elena said coldly in the dream.
"you……"
Before Elena could finish speaking, she was kicked out of the dream; she was actually kicked out by another version of herself.
Upon waking up, Elena felt an excruciating headache and her spirits plummeted.
Just then, Elena suddenly felt a familiar and warm embrace, and Iris's familiar and gentle voice rang in her ear: "You've been asleep for almost two days. I thought something had happened to you."
Feeling the familiar scent of morning dew and flowers, feeling the familiar warmth of the embrace, Elena felt that she was not worthy of it, but she couldn't help but feel attached to it.
"sorry."
"Why are you apologizing? Did you do something strange to me in my dream?" Elise tilted her head, seemingly not understanding what Elena was saying.
Before Elena could say anything, Elise cupped Elena's face in her hands, and a look of pleasure appeared in her eyes.
As Elise's eyes revealed the eerie heart-shaped mark, Elena felt her groggy head gradually clear, and the side effects of being overly immersed in the dream gradually subsided.
After a while, the mark of pleasure in Elise's eyes gradually faded.
Seeing Elena regain her senses, Elise laughed and said, "Alright, although I don't know what you did in your dream, you can't get too caught up in it. If I find out next time, I'll take advantage of your dream state and do weird things to your body."
"What are you standing there for? Get up and eat! We're almost there."
Volume 1: Chapter 671 The Mermaid Chieftain of the Elves
On the deck, Elise looked at the distant islands, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes.
She searched her memory for a similar place, but after searching through all her memories, she still couldn't find a similar scene.
Whether in the game or after she traveled here, she had no recollection of this place.
She even suspected that the island was only known because there were too many variables in this rebirth.
Regardless, Elise was still somewhat excited to be in a new place, a place she had never been to before.
"Let's leave the ship here and just teleport there."
Although they were still some distance from the island, Elise had already noticed that there were quite a few figures on the edge of the beach, seemingly keeping watch in their direction.
Just then, an arrow enveloped in emerald green light flew from afar. Although it was just an arrow, everyone on the ship could clearly feel the power it contained.
It has already reached the seventh level, and if it hits the ghost ship, it should cause considerable damage to the ghost ship.
However, the arrows were swallowed up by the invisible maw as soon as they got close, without having any effect on them.
