"Okay, you can tell me whenever you want it, and I'd be happy to help you."
"I think you just want to have some fun!"
"Hee hee~"
Elise nuzzled Lily's face, not giving her a chance to continue. Some things don't need to be said so clearly.
Volume 1: Chapter 416 They looked directly at God
When Elise returned to the manor, it was already dark.
Just then, the little maid returned from outside, emerging directly from Iris's shadow like a ghost.
Looking at the mask on the little maid's face, Elise asked curiously, "Did you go to the Assassins' Guild?"
When she has time, the maid will take on some side jobs at the Assassins' Guild to fill her coffers and upgrade her Devourer Dagger. After all, the maid has a grand ambition: to support her mistress for the rest of her life.
As Elise's personal maid, she knew very well Elise's usual spending habits, so she needed to seize the opportunity to replenish her own savings.
Like right now, she had just finished a few orders at the Assassins' Guild and rushed back before dinner.
She was able to complete the order so quickly thanks to Sally, so she gave Sally a cut.
"Mmm." The little maid took off her mask and nodded obediently, showing none of the coldness she had when killing someone; instead, she even revealed a cute smile.
Only when Elise is around would the little maid show such a smile.
"By the way, Miss, I heard from the Assassins' Association that someone is planning to assassinate Miss Vivian recently."
“It’s a perfectly normal thing,” Elise said calmly.
When she was with Vivian, there would be assassination attempts every now and then, and she had helped deal with the assassins countless times.
Generally speaking, as long as Mara in her maid outfit is by Vivian's side, assassinations are virtually impossible to succeed.
Do you know when the assassination will take place?
"It should be tonight. Someone wanted to invite me to join them, but I didn't agree."
Although she could have obtained more detailed information by infiltrating them, she disliked Vivian and therefore did not go in to help.
The annoyance he felt was similar to that he felt towards Elena and Nora; it was a feeling of disgust that made him want to kill them all.
To this day, she is still not quite sure why she has this feeling.
But she trusted her instincts.
"I'm going to see Vivian tonight anyway, so I'll help her out while I'm at it."
"Do you need me to come with you?"
"no thanks."
Elise ruffled the little maid's hair. She knew that the little maid seemed to harbor great hostility towards those who had killed her, so she wouldn't let the little maid do anything she didn't want to do.
……
As evening fell, Elise went out after dinner.
Seeing her young mistress leave, the little maid followed closely behind and left the manor.
However, she left in a different direction than Elise was heading; she planned to ambush and kill the assassins on the way, so they wouldn't cause trouble for her mistress.
After putting on the mask, the little maid quickly disappeared into the night.
Inside a mansion not far from Vivian's residence, several assassins were discussing their assassination plan.
Although the target of the assassination is the daughter of a minor nobleman, the commission offered is very generous, and intelligence also indicates that there are beings of the sixth rank or higher by her side, so thorough preparations are necessary.
Just then, a figure dressed as a maid quietly appeared in the mansion.
The assassins immediately became alert, but when they saw that it was a masked maid, the leader relaxed slightly: "Maid, you've come after all."
"Yes, I'm here to kill you all."
As soon as the maid finished speaking, the assassins instantly felt a deadly threat.
But just as they were about to take action, they discovered that they were unable to move.
Their shadows had been nailed to the ground without them even realizing it.
Experienced assassins would immediately think of turning off the magical lamps in the room, because only by turning off the lights could they possibly break free from the shadows.
However, the little maid gave them no chance to struggle. Before long, the assassins were devoured by the Devourer, and the traces left in the room were erased by the shadows.
The maid curled her lip. With this level of strength, she thought she could assassinate Vivian? She was underestimating her.
After confirming that nothing had been missed, the little maid once again vanished into the shadows and disappeared from the room.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Elise has arrived near Vivian's house.
The moment Elise approached, the two guards who had been standing at the door vanished instantly, and the once silent night was filled with the sounds of battle.
Elise was very familiar with the combination of the Silent Barrier and the Illusion Barrier.
Moreover, she even sensed the presence of a seventh-tier being here.
The existence of such a being meant that this assassination was extremely dangerous. She threw insect eggs outwards while joining the battle.
A look of pleasure appeared in her eyes. The assassin, who was fighting a guard, suddenly began to act strangely. He felt as if the clothes on his body had come to life and were trying to strangle him.
Even the weapon in his hand began to struggle, trying to escape his control.
If it were just that, it wouldn't be so bad, but after a while, he found that his body seemed to be somewhat out of control.
His eyes began to try to escape their sockets, his fingers began to fight, his blood tried to escape his veins, and his bones wanted to break free of their restraints.
Soon after, the assassin died on the spot in an extremely bizarre way; even after he died, his body continued to writhe.
This is a combination of the power of life and the power of joy. It's useful, but it makes the scene incredibly bloody and somewhat pollutes the environment.
However, considering that she didn't have to clean up herself, Elise became unrestrained.
She didn't waste much time on these battles and rushed straight into Vivian's room.
When she entered the room, she found five dead people kneeling inside, each of them looking at Vivian's location with a pious expression.
Hearing the familiar footsteps, Vivian turned her wheelchair around to look at Elise: "You're here."
"Did you take care of all of this?" Elise walked over to one of the bodies and examined it, finding no injuries, yet the person had died so inexplicably.
The fact that Vivian was the only one in the room means that these people were most likely killed by Vivian. How did she manage to do that? If she remembered correctly, Vivian shouldn't have such strong fighting power, right?
Sensing Elise's gaze, Vivian tilted her head and asked, "Curious about how they died?"
"Kind of."
"It's very simple, they looked directly at God."
Volume 1: Chapter 417 You've Changed
"That's it~"
Elise looked like she suddenly understood, then asked curiously, "So where is God?"
"I don't know." Vivian shrugged. "Just now, when someone barged in, I was about to run away, and then He appeared."
"So, who exactly is He?"
"Someone who looks exactly like you."
Hearing Vivian's words, Elise pointed to herself in confusion, but she quickly remembered something. Elira had told her before that after Vivian died, she tried to resurrect herself as a god, but ultimately failed, which even led to the destruction of the world.
Could the deity who suddenly appeared next to Vivian and looked exactly like her be the god that Vivian created in her previous life?
Thinking of this, Elise quickly walked to Vivian's side and began to carefully examine her physical and mental state.
Although it was just a simple description of Elira, she was an evil god who could destroy the world. Iris didn't even dare to imagine what would happen if she came to this world.
Seeing Elise's concerned expression, Vivian's lips curled up slightly: "Don't worry, I'm fine."
"No, let me check it carefully."
"I can understand the inspection, but what I can't understand is why you had to put your hand inside my clothes during the inspection?"
“For a more thorough examination!” Elise said seriously.
Although that's what they said, the main reason was that the examination was over and Vivian was fine. Now that she was no longer worried, Elise started teasing Vivian, who usually didn't show much emotion.
No, Vivian is showing much more emotion now than before.
In the past, when I was with Vivian, I might not see her show any emotion for ten days or half a month. But now, as long as Vivian is by my side, she will unconsciously show some very interesting emotions.
Although Elise wanted to continue, the battle outside wasn't over yet, so she stopped fooling around and went out to help.
With Elise's help, the chaos was quickly quelled. The seventh-tier being who fought with Head Maid Mara probably realized that the assassination attempt had failed, so he took the opportunity to run away.
If an entity of rank seven or higher wants to escape, it will be very difficult to catch it.
However, before the other party could escape, Elise had already found an opportunity to leave a worm egg on the other party. The worm egg was like a locator, and then she could simply tell Vivian the location. She trusted Vivian to handle everything properly.
When Elise returned to Vivian's room, the bodies inside had already been disposed of.
It looked as if nothing had happened.
Looks like I'll have to move.
"why?"
Someone died.
“You used to not care about these things.”
"But you care."
Hearing Vivian's words, Elise's lips curled up slightly, and then she said, "Then why don't you come stay at my house?"
"Never mind, I've already bought all the houses around here. I'll just move to another place." Vivian said as she maneuvered her wheelchair out of the room.
Before long, Elise and Vivian moved to a neighboring mansion. Although the layout of the house had changed, Vivian's room remained the same.
Because of the recent assassination attempt, the security level around the mansion has been raised significantly.
Elise glanced around casually from the balcony and spotted several guards hiding in the shadows.
Back in the room, after drawing the curtains, Elise finally asked, "Do you have any leads on this assassination attempt?"
Vivian shook her head slightly: "Too many people want to kill me, and these people don't have anything to prove their identity."
"Could it be an assassination attempt stemming from the previous disappearance case?"
Vivian's people solved the previous disappearance case, which caused the God-Making Project to be postponed. In order to prevent such a thing from happening again, the people on the other side may actually send assassins to Vivian. Moreover, judging from the abilities used by that seventh-level being, he should be a Blood Cultist.
"It's possible, but even if we knew, there's nothing we can do right now."
"Next time, let the elves send an eighth-tier elven elder to be your guard. If Lily has time, you can also bring her along."
Although Lily hasn't fully recovered yet, she is still a ninth-tier being. With her protection, there's basically no one on Celia's side who can threaten Vivian's life.
Even if you can't win, running away is definitely not a problem.
Hearing Elise's words, Vivian nodded slightly and then said, "I know what you're saying, but the Land of Hope is in dire need of manpower right now, so it's not realistic to have Lily come here. I'll have them send an eighth-tier being to protect me for a while."
"And how's your search for magical artisans going?"
"Progress is not very significant; we still lack bait."
The bait Vivian mentioned was naturally the magical technology that Seria didn't have. If they had the lost magical technology, it would be much easier to win over magical artisans.
"I'll take care of the bait problem. I know where to find suitable bait."
"it is good."
Seeing that Elise wanted to say something more, Vivian immediately reached out and covered her mouth.
Elise blinked innocently, seemingly not quite understanding why Vivian was covering her mouth.
"We've discussed enough business. The evening is for rest. If I remember correctly, you were the one who said that, weren't you?"
With just a simple sentence, Elise understood what Vivian wanted to do. She gently licked Vivian's palm to indicate that she knew what to do.
Vivian was very satisfied with Elise's response. She casually activated the silence barrier in the room, then got up and helped Elise sit in the wheelchair.
Elise didn't resist, but looked at Vivian, whose eyes were sparkling with excitement, and said, "You've changed. You never did anything outside of work before?"
"Whose fault is that?"
