Qi Emu Three Orders M Si'. Neon Umbrella Four Spirits Alliance
Subsequently, on the table where Elise was, various cutlery gradually piled up into a small mountain.
The maid was initially a little worried that Elise might eat too much, but she became numb to it after her mistress ate so much.
As for Elena, she just hopes that Elise has enough money with her; she doesn't want to stay here washing dishes.
After Elise had eaten what felt like the umpteenth dish, the feeling of fullness finally returned, and she silently breathed a sigh of relief.
If she had known it would turn out like this, she wouldn't have come here.
But soon, Elise noticed that the mark of the Gluttonous King had changed; some intricate patterns seemed to have appeared in the grotesque maw.
As a veteran player, Elise knew very well that this was a change that occurred when the Mark of the Gluttonous King entered the second phase.
Volume 1: Chapter 22 I'm a bodyguard, you're asking me?
Elise resisted the urge to scratch her head.
She clearly remembered that she had once randomly become the priestess of the King of Gluttony, and at that time she also had the mark of the Glutton.
In order to upgrade the brand to the second stage, she sacrificed all the living creatures in seventeen cult strongholds and nine dungeons, which barely allowed the brand to enter the second stage.
But this time, because of the food, the branding was able to advance to the second stage ahead of schedule, which is simply unbelievable.
In the game "Dirty Wings", the Gluttonous Eater (the King is called the Garbage Can by the Eight Players) is an existence that will accept whatever you offer as a sacrifice, no matter what.
Meanwhile, some players are wondering if feeding Him something good would cause any different changes.
Then someone offered Him a portion of all the food on the menu, but nothing changed.
The conclusion that the gluttonous king only cares about quality and quantity, not taste, was thus established.
However, it now appears that this is not the case.
Elise felt she needed to retract her earlier thoughts; she had definitely made the right decision to come here.
Once the Mark of the Gluttonous King enters its second phase, it is no longer limited to close-range biting and sacrifice; it can also utilize the power of gluttony for defense.
With her life-saving skills enhanced, Elise was in a good mood, even though the meal had cost her almost all her savings.
Just as Elise and the others were about to leave, the still-charming proprietress quickly walked over and said, "Gentlemen, if you ever obtain any rare monster bodies that can be used as food, please be sure to bring them over. Our shop can buy them at a high price."
“No problem.” Elise smiled slightly. She remembered that on the way to the iron mine village, she could find a rare ingredient along the way.
Elise wasn't originally planning to go, but she was curious whether offering food to a certain glutton would bring any new blessings.
After leaving the nameless tavern, Elise went to buy some supplies and took the two first-time visitors on a tour.
As a seasoned adventurer, Elena had already prepared to guide Iris when purchasing supplies.
But Elise didn't give her that chance at all. From camping tents to insect repellent, from portable jerky to pure drinking water, she also prepared medicines for various situations. She was meticulous in everything she did.
Even she couldn't find a single fault with it.
Looking at Elena, who seemed hesitant to speak, Iris gave her an understanding smile: "What's wrong? Is there a problem with my preparations?"
"No, no."
Although I'm reluctant to admit it, Elise did a very good job.
After stuffing everything into her spatial ring, Elise checked the time and said, "The preparations are complete. Now, would you like to go back or go sightseeing?"
"I'm a bodyguard, and you're asking me?"
"Wherever Miss goes, I'll go!"
Early on, I had already anticipated that Zero would be like this, and Jiu also took the two of them for a stroll in this bustling area, but they didn't spend too much time on it.
Elise had already shopped there countless times, the little maid was only interested in her mistress, and Elena was broke.
q……
Lu returned to the hotel.
As soon as the maid opened the door, she sensed that there was another person in the room. She instantly went into battle mode, drew the dagger from under her skirt, and prepared to kill the uninvited guest.

"Wait, it's me!"
Although his voice, appearance, and even height had changed, the little maid still recognized him as the thief from the car earlier.
“Miss Sally, it’s so nice to see you here.” Elise smiled happily, as if they were long-separated lovers reunited.
Even Sally was momentarily stunned by Elise's appearance. When she came to her senses, she was both wary and amazed. This woman was truly terrifying; even she, as a woman herself, had almost been attracted to her.
"I want to know what exactly the Shadow Scepter is, and how you brought it out of the station."
"Since Miss Sally has asked this question, you must be prepared to pay the price, right?"
"Tell me first what the price will be?"
"Help me steal something. It might be a bit difficult for you right now, but as long as you're careful, there shouldn't be any problems."
"what?"
"Do you know about the Govis Trading Company?"
“I think it was a medium-sized chamber of commerce, nothing special,” Sally said after a moment’s thought.
"This chamber of commerce is planning a small auction next month, and a book will be auctioned off. I need you to help me steal that book."
"Sure, but I can't guarantee we'll succeed."
If it's just a medium-sized chamber of commerce, then she has some confidence in herself.

"Don't be careless, this merchant guild is backed by a prince of the empire," Elise kindly reminded him.
"What if we can't steal it?"
"If you can't steal it, so be it. But I still believe in you. You were able to steal their scepter from the Church of Shadows, so a mere book will be no problem for you."
Sally almost lost her confidence when Elise looked at her with such a determined gaze, but luckily she knew her own limitations and wasn't fooled.
"Now you can tell me the questions I want to know, right?"
"no problem."
Elise snapped her fingers, and the little maid naturally began to repeat what Elise had said before, word for word.
Elena was stunned; she hadn't expected the little maid to have such a good memory.
Or perhaps, is it only when it comes to her young lady that her memory is this good? But in any case, it's already quite impressive.
After hearing the maid's words, Sally also had a look of sudden realization: "So that's how it is. No wonder you weren't scared at all back then. I thought you had some way to avoid the inspection."
"Yes, if you want to know, bring that book back to me and I'll tell you the method."
"Really?"
"Of course, I would never lie."
"Tell me the characteristics of that book; I'm about to leave."
"it is good."
After explaining the book's features to Sally in detail, Sally left immediately. She had booked a ticket back to Celia for this afternoon and was about to depart.
After Sally left, Elena asked curiously, "Is there anything special about that book?"
"Of course there is, but it's hard to say right now. You'll find out when the time comes," Elise said with a mysterious smile.
Volume 1: Chapter 23 Elise's Intelligence Network is Extensive
"Is this the iron ore village you're going to?"
The caravan leader glanced at Iris and her two companions; no matter how you looked at them, they didn't seem like adventurers.
It's more like a rich family's young lady taking her servants on an outing.
But that had nothing to do with him. He was just a man who got paid to do his job and take people to the iron ore village.
I've heard that the bodyguards of wealthy families are quite capable. If we can also solve the problem in Iron Mine Village, we won't have to go there every time we come and come back empty-handed.
Recently, he has been considering whether or not to continue running the route through the iron ore village.
"Yes, it's us."
"Our caravan doesn't have many rules, we just hope that you and your entourage don't stray too far from the caravan. If all goes well, we should reach the iron mine village before dark."
"no problem."
Elise and her two companions sat in the cargo wagon, where there was enough space for them to sit besides the goods.
There are no rules here against mixing people and goods.
Elise skillfully took out a soft cushion from her spatial ring and handed one to the other two as well.
This thing can greatly improve the experience of riding in a horse-drawn carriage.
Although she was traveling with the caravan, Elena remained very vigilant. After all, caravans sometimes colluded with bandits, especially her group, which looked like wealthy people on a leisurely trip.
Elena's fears did not come true.
Apart from the bumpy ride, nothing unexpected happened along the way.
The caravan successfully entered the iron mine village before nightfall.
A village that looks quite large, but is very dilapidated.
Finally arriving at her destination, Elise couldn't wait to get out of the car and stretch her stiff body a little.
Even with the cushion, she almost threw up from the jolting.
The little maid stayed close to Elise, anxiously asking her mistress questions as she looked unwell.
Elena glanced around and then said to Elise, "I'll go find someone to ask about the details of the commission and also find a place to stay for the night. Please wait for me."
When Elise finally came to her senses, Elena returned to their side: "I just asked around, and the villagers said there are quite a few goblins in the mine, and it's not suitable to use high-powered attacks inside, otherwise there is a risk of the mine collapsing."
"As for where to stay tonight, there's only one run-down inn here, so you'll have to make do."
Elise certainly knew these things better than Elena, but there was no need for her to show off at this time.
"Let's go, let's go to our lodgings and rest for a bit, then have something to eat. After a good night's rest, we'll go down into the mine tomorrow."
"it is good."
The inn is located in the center of the village and looks quite large, after all, this place used to be prosperous. However, it looks very dilapidated, and I always feel that it would be drafty at night.
On the way to the hotel, there were hardly any young people to be seen. Since the iron ore veins in the village were depleted, most of the young labor force had gone to Angto.
The innkeeper was an elderly woman. Although the inn looked quite dilapidated from the outside, it was surprisingly clean inside.
Upon learning that the group had come to deal with the goblins, they immediately became much more enthusiastic and shared a lot about the village.
Since the mines were almost completely depleted, the people of Liling began to look for new ways to make a living, such as gathering herbs in the forest or hunting. Although the surrounding areas were doing well, the income was not good due to the monsters.
Now that the goblins have taken over the mines, the village's survival is in grave danger.
Back in her room, Elise took out some jerky and started munching on it.
Elena, with her inquisitive spirit, asked, "Why don't you go to the Emu Tavern to see the cages? Eating some hot food should be better than jerky, right?"
"How should I put it about the food here? You'll know once you try it. With Misha here, you don't need to worry about my safety."
Elena preferred something warmer to dry jerky, so she went out.
But not long after, she returned to the room, asked Elise for a piece of jerky, and started gnawing on it.
Elise looked at the sullen Elena with a cheerful expression: "How is it? Not bad, right?"
"Asking knowingly."
I just went to a tavern (I tried it out) and found some local delicacies. The meat (all hunted nearby) was of very poor quality and tasted very fishy. The bread was also as hard as a rock. It would have been better to come back and eat some jerky.
At least the jerky Elise bought tasted pretty good.
"You even have intelligence about this remote little mountain village? Your intelligence network must be quite extensive."
"Not only here, I also have information about the Tomb of the Gods. Do you want to hear it?"
"Don't listen, don't listen!"
Elena rolled her eyes. This kind of information was definitely not something she could hear for free. After hearing it, she would probably have to stay by Elise's side for the rest of her life and work for free.
