In a daze, that smile reappeared in Vivian's mind.
Seeing Vivian suddenly clutch her chest and gasp for breath, Elise quickly asked, "What's wrong? I don't think you have any heart problems, do you?"
"It's nothing, it's just that fragments of memories just popped into my head again. May I ask, what was our final fate?"

"You just wanted to hear about the encounter, and now you want to know about the ending. You really are a fickle woman."
"You must believe in your abilities. With my help, you will successfully ascend the throne and become the Empress of the Empire, revered by all."
"how about you?"
"Me? Of course I'm... right beside you."
Looking at Elise's smiling face, if she were by his side, why would she have been reborn? If she were by his side, why would he feel heart-wrenching pain every time he saw Elise's smile?
"Then how do you know how to recover those memories?"
Her memories are fragmented, and she has an urgent urge to fill in the gaps.
"I don't know about that, since I don't have that problem."
Vivi~ An recalled those strange memory fragments appearing all at once, all when she was with Iris. Does this mean that as long as she stays by Iris's side, she will gradually regain her memories?
Although the evidence was insufficient, she felt it was worth a try.
Just then, a pretty shop assistant came over with delicious food. After placing the food down, she gave a respectful bow and left the area.
"Now, let's get down to business. You should know about the Govis Trading Company, right?"
"Until recently, the Sixth Prince's Chamber of Commerce unearthed a small ancient ruin, and a batch of newly unearthed items will be auctioned off. Is there anything you're interested in?"
“I’ve already obtained what I was interested in; now I have another piece of information to share.”
Lingqi Emu O Feeding Jiu (Part 3) Part 4
"what?"
"When the Govis Merchant Guild discovered the ancient ruins, they also found an elven village. They now probably have hundreds of elves under their command."
Upon hearing Elise's words, Vivian even paused in her eating: "This is truly interesting information."
In an instant, Vivian thought of many ways to use this information, but she looked at Elise and said, "How do you plan to use this information?"
"Find a way to inform the Elven race, do them a favor, and at the same time leak the intelligence. His Highness the Sixth Prince should be extremely busy soon."
"Once you have this stepping stone, the elves should be happy to befriend you, because they don't have much time left."
What does "not much time" mean?
"The World Tree that shelters the Elf race is about to wither, at which time the entire Elf race will be exposed to everyone."
Although Elise spoke in a calm tone, it stirred up a huge storm in Vivian's heart, and her mind was racing.
If she can seize this opportunity, it will be enough to give her a huge advantage.
Seeing Vivian lost in thought, Elise didn't disturb her, but simply picked up her knife and fork and began to enjoy her meal.
"Do you have a way to contact the elves?"
"of course."
Although most of the elves live within the protection of the World Tree, some also travel outside to gather intelligence. Besides intelligence gathering, their most important goal is to find a way to save the World Tree.
If you choose the elven protagonist, this is the main quest.
If nothing unexpected happens, that protagonist should already be in Seria by now.
As the capital of the empire, the city of magical technology is indeed a place full of hope, but...
Do you need me to help you make contact?
"Well, if there's no danger."
"You're starting to care about me now, even though your memory hasn't returned yet. What if everything I said was a lie? What if we're enemies?"
"I don't think I would develop a dependence on the enemy; I trust my instincts."
“Every time I hear you say something like that, it feels a little strange,” Elise muttered before continuing to Vivian, “There shouldn’t be any danger. Just wait for my good news.”
After finishing her meal, Elise prepared to leave.
She slowly stood up and said to Vivian, "I'll continue talking about the future with you next time we meet. Now I need to go find someone."
"Okay." Vivian nodded, then added, "Be careful."
After watching Elise leave, she casually waved, and the pretty shop assistant from before walked up to Vivian: "Miss, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Please help me find a suitable place to live near Elise's manor. I want to move there."
"Yes."
"We need to move quickly, preferably tonight."
Volume 1: Chapter 65 You don't want people to know your elf identity, do you?
Seria Outer District.
As the Spark Festival approaches, the area is becoming increasingly lively.
Especially in the market area, there are many merchants from various places who set up stalls there, where you can buy many things that you can't usually buy.
Wendy held Elise's hand tightly, her curious eyes scanning the surroundings. If it weren't for Elise holding her hand, she probably would have disappeared in the blink of an eye, just like the husky.
Elena, being a local, was already used to it and simply followed Elise casually, asking, "What brings you to wander around here?"
"I brought Wendy out for a walk, and we also came here to see someone."
Just then, Elise suddenly felt Wendy squeeze her hand, and she stopped and looked at Wendy.
“I want to try that,” Wendy said, pointing to a food stall by the roadside, her eyes sparkling with longing.
When a mature and beautiful older sister looks at you like that, it's hard to say no, especially when she's a seventh-level expert. There's even less reason to refuse.
As Elise led Wendy toward the food stall, she said, "When we have the chance, I'll take you to Ento to eat some real delicacies."
The Sword Dance Mercenary Group she stayed with in Star City has already found several rare ingredients for her, and they're just waiting for the opportunity to go to Angto sometime. Hopefully, the Gluttony Mark will be enhanced by the next time she goes.
Elise was originally planning to go to the hotel to look for someone, but just as she was buying snacks for Wendy, that person happened to appear in Elise's line of sight.
The other person walked straight toward Elise and the others, but she wasn't coming for Elise. She just brushed past them and came to the food stall, staring intently at the freshly fried meat patties on the stall.
Noticing that Elise had stopped, Elena couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
"I've found the person I'm looking for."
"Ok?"
Elena followed Elise's gaze and quickly noticed the girl standing in front of the food stall. Her long brown hair was slightly curly, and her pretty face looked somewhat young. In Elena's eyes, she seemed to be only fifteen or sixteen years old.
I don't know what Elise wants from her, but the longer you spend with Elise, the more you realize that she always has a purpose in contacting people.
Elise wasn't in a hurry and patiently waited for the other person to finish buying the snacks.
She didn't even need to take the initiative to step forward; the girl had already walked up to her and asked in a friendly manner, "Sister, you've been staring at me for a while now. Is there something you need from me?"
"I just feel that you are very cute, like a fairy from a legend."
Upon hearing Elise's words, the girl's face lit up with a happy smile: "Thank you, this is the first time I've ever heard someone praise me like that."
"Speaking of which, I was just about to go for afternoon tea. Would you do me the honor? You wouldn't want people to know your elf identity, would you?"
The girl, who was about to refuse, instantly lost her smile. She didn't know how the other party had figured out her identity. Her disguise was so good; she had been away from the Forest of Sanctuary for so many years, and no one had ever discovered her elf identity.
Even when facing an eighth-tier being, her disguise was not exposed.
The girl feels very dangerous and needs to find a way to escape!
"Don't be nervous. Although I know you might still be worried even if I say this, I'll just say one more thing before you decide whether you want to come have afternoon tea with me."
“There is a place where hundreds of your people are imprisoned. If you want to know, come with me.”
As Elise spoke, she didn't care whether the other party would follow, and directly led Elena and Wendy into the dessert shop not far away.
"Was that really an elf?" Elena asked curiously. Although she had heard legends about elves, she had never actually seen one.
"Of course, but I did some disguise. After all, no elf would appear in public without any disguise."
Not long after the three entered the store, the young girl followed them in. She slowly walked to sit opposite Elise, her wariness undisguised: "Why should I trust you?"
"The fact that you're still sitting here talking to me is a testament to that."
As Elise's words fell, Wendy, standing beside her, also slightly revealed her 87th-level aura. Although it was only for a moment, the girl sitting opposite her clearly felt it.
"Don't be nervous. I'm only here to make a deal. I can give you the details, and all you need to do is give me three World Tree leaves."
The World Tree Leaf possesses incredibly powerful vitality. In the game, its effect is to instantly restore one's own status and remove most negative status effects.
Besides being used to save lives, this thing can also be used to treat certain stubborn ailments, such as Vivian's legs, which can be easily cured with just one leaf of the World Tree.
Although the World Tree is about to wither, the Elven race has accumulated a considerable number of World Tree leaves over the years.
Three mere coins in exchange for the lives of hundreds of her kind—it was a very worthwhile trade, and the girl knew it well enough, but she didn't know how to trust the person in front of her.
“I can tell you the information first, and you can pay me the reward after you confirm its authenticity.” After saying that, Elise briefly told the other party about the Govis Merchant Guild.
Based on her understanding of the person in front of her, she was certain she could find clues and even contact the imprisoned elves, but she had no way to rescue them.
Moreover, time did not allow her to call for help, and at that time, the only person she could rely on was Elise, a stranger who provided her with information.
The girl was surprised that the other party had revealed the information to her so easily, which made her suspect that there might be some kind of conspiracy involved.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll disappear after I get the news?"
"It's okay, if I can find you the first time, I'm sure I can find you the second time."
Seeing the other party's confident appearance, the elven girl hesitated for a moment and said, "I will find a way to verify the authenticity of your information. If the information is correct, I will give you three leaves."
Elise casually took out paper and pen from her spatial ring, wrote down the location of her manor, and handed it to the other person: "This is my home. If you want to find me, just come here. My name is Elise. Just tell me my name and someone will take you in."
The elven girl glanced at the note, checked it, and only put it away after confirming that there were no magical fluctuations on it.
Seeing the girl get up to leave, Elise called her back again: "I've already told you my name, so at least tell me your name too, even if it's just a pseudonym."
"Eve."
Volume 1: Chapter 66 Vivian, who takes an inch and wants a mile
After Eve left, Elena asked, "Aren't you afraid she'll run away?"
"I've already told you, with my intelligence network, if I can find her once, I can find her a second time."
Not to mention Eve, if she wanted, she could even find a gap in the World Tree and enter the Elven Sanctuary Forest from there.
Ling Meng, Lin 〆〈玐!洽{?球韭伞琉究
Seeing Elise's confident demeanor and thinking of her all-powerful intelligence network, Elena realized that her worries were unnecessary, so she focused her attention directly on the exquisite desserts.
If we don't act soon, Wendy, that glutton, will eat all of this!
Of course, she only dared to think that in her heart, after all, the other party was at the seventh level, while she had only recently reached the fourth level.
After watching the two devour all the desserts, Iris sighed with a touch of melancholy. Then she took them for a stroll in the market area and bought a few damaged ancient magical artifacts for Flora to study.
Before darkness fell, Elise led them back to the manor.
But before Elise could even sit down, a maid came to inform her that a new neighbor had come to visit.
When Elise heard that it was Miss Horace, she knew who her new neighbor was.
When Elise arrived at the manor's drawing room, she saw that Vivian was already waiting for her there.
"When did you become my new neighbor?"
“Just now.” Vivian looked at Elise with a faint smile on her face, her usual delicate demeanor gone.
"As expected of you." Elise walked behind Vivian, pushed the wheelchair out of the reception room and into the garden.
Although it was already dark, the garden remained bright and beautiful under the illumination of the magical lights.
"I've already made contact with the elves, and I expect to hear back tomorrow. I'll rescue them then, and I'll need you to prepare a completely safe haven for them."
"Okay, I'll have someone prepare it later."
Aren't you going to ask me why I did this?
During this time, the people around Elise liked to ask why, so now that Vivian doesn't ask, it makes her a little uncomfortable.
