He was so engrossed in his conversation that he didn't notice Servis clenching her fists, a hint of worry flashing deep in her eyes.
Even Servis herself might not have realized this.
"However, the other party has been hiding in Caster City, making it difficult to find an opportunity to strike. We don't know what kind of deal she made with the Order that would allow the Order to protect her like this."
At this point, Ockham couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. After all, he had finally reached a cooperation agreement with the Eternal Church, but he couldn't find an opportunity, which made him, who was already impatient, even more irritable.
Just then, Ockham seemed to have thought of something and extended an invitation to Servis: "Would you like to join us on this mission?"
Ockham didn't consider Servis as a combatant; he just wanted her to witness the enemy's death, which he thought would at least bring her some joy.
Servis instinctively wanted to agree, but the words wouldn't come out. Instead, the words she had spoken to Elise the day before flashed through her mind.
After hesitating for a moment, Servis finally spoke up, saying, "I won't be participating in this operation. I have other things to do."
"Alright, then you get some rest. I'll bring her head to you as a gift later."
“I’m not interested in this kind of gift. Just do your job and don’t bother me.”
Hearing Servis's slightly irritated words, Ockham was a little stunned. Servis's emotions had been quite stable just now, so why did she suddenly change?
Unfortunately, before he could ask any questions, Servis had already disappeared before his eyes, pulled by the threads of fate.
In her private space, Servis frowned slightly, because she had just realized that her emotions were a little unstable.
The feeling of irritation reached its peak, especially when Ockham said he would give Elise's head as a gift.
Even though the issues at the level of the soul have been resolved, why am I still having this reaction?
"Some things change, and it's hard to go back to the way things were." This is a sentence that Elise once said to her.
She didn't take it to heart at the time, but now it seems there's some truth to that statement.
Gently shaking her head, Servis tried to stop herself from thinking about that person. She took out the Harp of Fate and prepared to start untangling the increasingly messy threads of fate.
This kind of thing requires a high degree of concentration, otherwise it is easy to make mistakes, which is one of the reasons why she gave the Harp of Destiny to Ockham in the first place.
I thought that after solving the problem, I could finally focus on my work. But then, the harp playing started to sound strange not long after it began.
Servis opened her eyes again and found it difficult to calm herself down.
Volume 1: Chapter 650 Taking the Initiative
"It seems my guess was correct."
Elise carefully examined her own soul and did not experience the tearing pain, which meant that the nascent god had indeed encountered a problem.
It is very likely, as Elira said, that some of His authority has been taken over by Estella.
However, Elise was still somewhat curious as to why Estella hadn't separated her soul. She knew that even a small part of her soul could have some influence over her.
It's a pity that she can no longer flirt with Servis for the time being.
There's one less outlet for my emotions; it seems I need to find another one.
Seeing Elise's smiling face, Nora couldn't help but say, "You look like a villain plotting something inside."
“I wasn’t exactly a good person to begin with,” Elise said, stretching out her foot and lightly tapping Nora’s thigh, making her meaning quite clear.
Nora did not disappoint Elise, and immediately grabbed those fair and tender little feet and began to knead them.
Although she was reluctant to admit it, she felt that she was becoming more and more skilled at foot massage.
Seeing Nora's actions, Elira, who was still reading, couldn't help but glance in Elise's direction.
She had only meant to steal a glance, but when she looked away, she found Elise smiling at her.
The feeling of being caught doing something wrong made Elira's cheeks feel hot.
To avoid being provoked by Elise, Elira decisively spoke first, asking, "What are you going to do now?"
Elise chuckled softly. Of course, she could tell that Elira was changing the subject, but she didn't care. She just said lazily, "If he doesn't make a move in the next few days, then I'll create an opportunity."
"Where do you plan to open the station? I can go and make some preparations first," Elena said calmly.
With the enemy unknown, she felt it necessary to make thorough preparations.
“It’s best to come up with a good reason, otherwise it’ll look too much like fishing,” Elira reminded her, though she figured Elise would definitely think of that.
"Then let's go fishing."
"what?"
"I remember there's a really nice beach near Falling Star Harbor. How about we go there for a vacation?"
Hearing Elise's words, Elira couldn't help but twitch her lips: "Is it really okay to choose a place like that?"
"Of course, once we resolve this matter, we can rest and relax there for a while. It's a pleasant decision."
"Then I'll go over and set things up first," Elena said, opening a spatial rift as she did so.
"Remember to choose a good spot; I'd love to see you show off your fishing skills."
Elena, whose expression had been quite serious, showed a barely perceptible stiffness on her face after hearing Elise's words, but she quickly nodded and then passed through the spatial rift.
Seeing Elena's reaction, Elise covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her eyes full of pleasure.
……
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Elise's life remained quite pleasant. The white-haired man seemed to have no intention of harming her in Castor.
However, this was within Elise's expectations; if it were her, she probably wouldn't have made a move here either.
Not wanting to be constantly plotted against, she chose to lead her people directly to Falling Star Harbor.
Although Miss Sally, who is usually a tool, is not here, there is a new tool here, Miss Elena.
Because she accidentally teleported herself and Nora into the wall last time, Elena has been working hard to learn how to use spatial abilities lately.
She will no longer make such embarrassing mistakes.
As the spatial rift opened, Elise and her group passed directly through it and arrived at a deserted alley in Falling Star Harbor.
"I've already booked the rooms. It's the largest hotel in Falling Star Harbor, and all the rooms face the sea," Elena said to the group as she led them towards the hotel.
"Based on my estimation, the enemy should soon discover that you are no longer in Castor, so after we rest briefly at the inn, we will head straight to the battlefield."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work this time."
"Yeah, it is indeed quite hard work, so have you prepared your payment?"
"Of course I'm ready."
Looking at Elise's mysterious smile, Elena had a feeling that the other woman was up to something.
As everyone headed to the inn, Elise seemed to sense something and soon spotted a familiar figure in the bustling crowd.
Upon seeing Estella, she smiled and waved to her.
Estella responded excitedly to Iris.
They looked like they had a very good relationship, but neither of them showed any intention of getting closer to the other.
Elise's actions were obvious, and naturally, the others noticed them as well.
Elena frowned slightly, feeling that the other party's presence was a bit too dangerous, but the other party didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards Elise.
Although Estella appeared, the group did not stop and soon arrived at the inn that Elena had booked.
As she said, the scenery here is beautiful; you can see the unique beauty of Falling Star Harbor from the balcony.
In the game, Starfall Harbor is also a popular location for many players, and many choose to make it their base.
Just as Elise was admiring the beautiful scenery, Elena appeared behind her without her noticing.
Despite the presence of other people, Elena still reached out and hugged Elise from behind without any hesitation: "It's almost time."
"Okay, let's go."
As Elena activated her ability, the group arrived at a deserted beach. This beach was quite far from Starfall Harbor, and hardly anyone would come here.
"It's a pity someone interfered, otherwise I would have already changed into my swimsuit." Elise took off her shoes and stepped barefoot on the beach.
"It's okay, we'll have time once we solve the problem."
As Elena finished speaking, she seemed to sense something and subconsciously glanced in a certain direction.
A bright green arrow streaked across the sky like a shooting star, its trajectory indicating it was aimed directly at their location.
"That's... Elven archery?" Elira raised an eyebrow. She had once been reborn as an elf, so she recognized it at a glance.
But aren't all the elves on Elise's side?
Just as the arrow was about to strike Elise, it vanished without a trace.
On a mountaintop far from the beach, a female elf clad in leather armor stood silently, firing powerful arrows toward the shore like a machine.
Looking at the rain of arrows filling the sky, Elise raised an eyebrow: "So the white-haired man's partner is the Eternal Church. That's quite troublesome."
Elena snapped her fingers, and the rain of arrows in the sky suddenly disappeared. Then, spatial rifts appeared in the air, and the rain of arrows flew back in the direction they came from, intact.
Does the Eternal Church still keep elves?
"Have you forgotten Vanessa? She is an elf, yes, but she is also a heroic spirit."
As the two were talking, a giant blue dragon appeared on the sea, accompanied by a roar that stirred up a monstrous tsunami.
"This was a genius of the dragon race. He broke through to the ninth rank at a young age during the Age of Gods, but he later perished in a war." Elise briefly explained the dragon's identity to everyone.
Although it was a ninth-rank spirit when it was alive, after being recycled and transformed into a heroic spirit by the Eternal Church, its strength is estimated to be only at the eighth rank, but it is still very powerful.
I never expected the Eternal Church would bring out this dragon to deal with her. Aren't they afraid that the Dragon Castle will find out and cause trouble?
With a flash of sword light, the towering wave was instantly cut in half. Nora, wielding the god-slaying weapon, casually said, "Who cares about geniuses or not, just kill them and be done with it."
Although she was only at the seventh rank, Nora showed no fear whatsoever when facing this eighth-rank dragon; in fact, her eyes blazed with fighting spirit.
"Can I go on?" Nora asked eagerly.
"Go ahead and do it if you want."
Having received the answer she wanted, Nora unhesitatingly activated her magical shockwave for acceleration, propelling herself towards the blue dragon like a cannonball.
At this moment, Elise also summoned the Eloise Longbow, and the holy marks of life bloomed.
Elise held the bow in her left hand, and without her even having to draw the bowstring, the longbow named Eloise automatically drew its bowstring and shot arrows at an extremely fast speed into the distance.
Its rate of fire is comparable to that of magical firearms.
"My arrows will surely hit their mark." The mark of greed on Elise's chest had somehow transformed into a holy mark of order, and as the decree took effect, her arrows were all shrouded in a golden glow.
Although the arrows were now guaranteed to hit, before Elise's attack could even get close, a heavily armored holy knight stood in front of the elven archer with his shield, holy light emanating from the shield and blocking all of Elise's arrows.
Seeing this, Elise curled her lips and then injected the power of Gluttony into Eloise. Although the Holy Knight could still withstand her attacks, every time an arrow landed on his defenses, an invisible mouth would gnaw a hole in it.
Although he can still use his own power to repair it, the cost is much higher than before.
Just then, Elise's shadow suddenly rippled slightly, and a petite figure suddenly leaped out of the shadow, but before she could launch an attack, she turned back into the shadow and disappeared from the spot.
The moment she disappeared, a world-destroying power erupted.
“That was a chosen one of the God of Shadows, who died in the War of the Gods,” Elise explained calmly, as if she hadn’t been the one who had just been assassinated.
As a player, and someone who has been reborn countless times, Elise knows very well just how many powerful beings exist in the Hall of Heroes of the Eternal Church.
Although she failed to assassinate her target, the Shadow's follower did not give up. The shadow beneath her feet gradually transformed into the likeness of Elise. Just as she was about to plunge her short sword into the shadow's head, her sword-wielding hand suddenly twisted in a bizarre way, as if it had been twisted into a pretzel.
Theresa, who had been inactive all along, finally took action. Without hesitation, she broke off her own hand, offering her suffering as a sacrifice to Him.
As the sacrifice brought her immense pain, the cursed mark also appeared on Theresa's chest.
The Shadow Cultist's body began to decay rapidly, and even after transforming into shadow, the curse remained ever-present.
Just as Theresa was dealing with the Shadow Cultists, a golden light suddenly burst forth, piercing directly through Theresa's heart.
The attacker was a seventh-tier Arbiter. Compared to the well-protected Elise, he felt that ambushing and killing this unprotected gray-haired girl would also reduce her combat power.
However, Teresa, whose heart had been pierced, did not collapse; instead, she avenged the pain of having her heart pierced by her own.
Suddenly, the Arbiter who had successfully launched the sneak attack clutched his heart in pain. Pure healing power flowed in his palm, forcibly mending and repairing his shattered heart.
Although he did not die on the spot, he still suffered great harm.
"Those who are believers in suffering, take note..." Before the Arbiter could even complete the synchronization of the information, he found a magic circle had appeared under his feet without him noticing.
Without hesitation, he dodged backward, but in that instant, the Arbiter was sliced into pieces.
The moment the opponent was attacked by Theresa, Elena used her spatial powers to create countless invisible spatial rifts around her.
