Let them live with that regret for the rest of their lives!

"Let's go straight there."

"it is good."

Elena responded softly, then led her people directly to the vicinity of the group of elves.

Faced with the sudden appearance of the group, the elves warily prepared for battle.

However, they soon discovered that there were two members of the same race among this group, and one of them was emanating a very powerful aura.

Lily, as the chieftain of the elves, stepped forward and said, "I am not your enemy."

As Lily spoke, she also displayed the stigmata of life, which are stigmas that only the servants of the goddess of life can possess.

The elves, who were initially on guard, gradually relaxed upon seeing the holy mark.

A tall female elf stepped out from the crowd; she was the elf who had just shot the arrow.

"I'm very sorry, I didn't realize that he was a favorite of the goddess before I took action."

"I know the reason and I understand how you feel. I have already saved all the members of our clan who were captured before."

Lily briefly explained what had happened to the other party.

Upon hearing Lily's account of what had happened, the leading female elf couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. They had all been preparing to migrate away from this place, but unexpectedly, a member of their own kind had nipped the crisis in the bud.

As if sensing their thoughts, Lily continued, "Although we've dealt with the big pirates who knew the location, it's still not safe here. I hope you can come back with me."

"This... I can't make a decision. I need to go back and discuss it with the clan leader."

"No problem, I'll take care of persuading your clan leader."

"Then please follow me."

Following behind, Elira gently tugged at Elise's hand and said, "This was resolved way too quickly, wasn't it? I thought it would take a long time to argue about it."

"You must have been an elf too, right?"

"Ah."

"Then you should know that elves are the servants of the Goddess of Life, so as long as you show the Holy Mark of Life, the problem can be solved very well. I can do this too."

Just as Elira was about to say something, she discovered that Elise had also transformed into an elf, with long ears and an elegant and noble demeanor, showing no trace of disguise.

"It's not a disguise, but an ability granted by the Life Mark. However, for me, the spirit form doesn't play a significant role in either combat or in suppressing desires, so I rarely use it."

As if she had just thought of something, Elise immediately blended into the group of elves and quickly began chatting and laughing with a group of adorable elf girls.

Seeing this, Elira couldn't help but twitch her lips; at this moment, she was actually a little envious of this ability.

After all, they had just been plundered by humans. Although Elira and the others came with Lily, no elf was willing to take the initiative to contact them.

However, they didn't seem to care.

After all, two of the three only have eyes for Elise, while the other one is a complete idiot.

As if she had thought of something, Elira couldn't help but turn her gaze to Elena. She keenly noticed that Elena had become taciturn since returning from that island.

His brows furrowed with a deep melancholy.

I don't know if he had some kind of conflict with Elise while they were on the island.

Feeling Elira's gaze, Elena turned to look at her and asked, "What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing, it's just that you seem like you didn't sleep well."

Although Elira was very curious about what had happened between the two, based on her experience of being reborn hundreds of times, she knew that if she didn't want to die, she had to suppress her curiosity.

"more or less."

As a seasoned adventurer who had spent a considerable amount of time with Iris, Elena was quite perceptive and could read people's expressions. Elira was simply curious about what had happened between her and Iris.

She was also very curious about what had happened between her and Elise.

Even though I've awakened many memories from my past lives, I always feel like I've only uncovered the tip of the iceberg.

Even though I did such terrible things to Elise, why... can she still give me such a bright smile?

A faint sigh escaped her lips, unheard by anyone except Elena.

About half an hour later, the group arrived at the elves' village, led by the female elf.

The village is located in a dense forest in the center of the island. Although the architectural style is that of the elves, it is very retro.

In the seemingly quiet and peaceful village, there were not many elves to be seen. However, in the buildings on both sides, many elves were secretly observing the strangers entering the village through the windows.

"It feels like I'm entering the Forest of Sanctuary for the first time," Elise said, leaning closer to Lily.

"After all, this place is isolated from the world. If it weren't for those damned pirates who were stranded here because of the storm, this place might not have changed much even after several hundred years."

"Yes."

Just as the two were whispering to each other, the female elf who was leading them stopped and turned to look at everyone: "This is where the chieftain lives. She already knows what happened and would like to invite you all in for a visit."

"Then we won't bother you."

When the group entered the treehouse, what appeared before them was not an elf, but an old woman from the merfolk tribe.

Volume 1: Chapter 672 Stories and Secrets

Even Lily couldn't help but show a surprised expression upon seeing the old lady.

She never expected that the chieftain of the elves would be a member of the merfolk.

Although the human form of merfolk is basically no different from that of ordinary humans, careful observation will reveal fine scales on their bodies and their signature sea-blue hair.

As a mermaid hybrid, Elira also has scales, but they are located in a rather hidden place and are usually covered by her clothes.

Noticing the gazes of the crowd, the elderly woman sitting there smiled kindly: "You must have many questions, but before answering them, please allow me to express my sincere gratitude."

The old lady had just gotten up when she was helped back to her seat by the lush green vines. Lily also said softly, "As the current chieftain of the Elf race, I was just doing what I was supposed to do."

"Please have a seat, everyone."

Once everyone was seated, she continued, "I came here more than a hundred years ago by accident, and it was the elves here who saved me."

"The reason I chose to stay, besides repaying a debt of gratitude, is that I fell in love with the previous chieftain here. After she passed away, I was elected as the current chieftain."

"Did something happen?" Lily couldn't help but ask.

"No, it's the end of their lifespan. Although elves have a long lifespan, there will come a time when they reach the end."

"I'm so glad that I was still young at the time, and that I was able to show her my best side." A hint of nostalgia flashed in the old lady's eyes.

Just then, as if she had thought of something, she smiled and said, "Please don't blame her for falling in love with me in the last days of her life. I was the one who pursued her, the kind who would relentlessly pursue her."

Perhaps recalling some fond memories, a faint smile appeared on the old woman's face, like that of a young girl in the throes of first love.

Upon hearing the old man's words, Lily subconsciously glanced at Elise, wondering if she would experience something similar in the future.

No, Elise is a favorite of the goddess. With her life mark, she lives much longer than ordinary spirits. I don't need to worry about her lifespan at all.

Wait, why am I thinking about all this nonsense?

Lily curled her toes in embarrassment, but thankfully everyone's attention was on the old man and no one noticed her odd behavior.

That was what she was thinking, but soon Lily felt someone gently squeeze her hand under the table.

She couldn't think of anyone else besides Elise who would do something like this.

Lily wanted to roll her eyes at Elise, but considering her authority as the clan leader, she ultimately gave up the idea.

“I know why you’ve come. It’s really not safe here anymore. I will persuade them to go back with you to a new home.”

"how about you?"

"I'm not leaving." The old man glanced out the window, a faint smile on his face. "I want to stay here with her during the last moments of her life."

Lily instinctively tried to persuade her, but her hand was held tightly by Iris.

She sighed softly and finally gave up.

“I’m a little curious. Logically speaking, this place shouldn’t be too far from Falling Star Harbor. Although it’s relatively remote, it shouldn’t be that no one has discovered this place by now, right?” Elise asked her question.

"This island is special; it can shield itself from existence unless someone like me or that group of pirates accidentally enters it."

"Or perhaps, like you, you know the exact location."

"Otherwise, it would be virtually impossible to find this place."

"I see." Elise squeezed Lily's hand thoughtfully, sensing that the island might be hiding some secret.

As if sensing Elise's thoughts, the old man continued, "I once explored the secrets of this island with her, but we found nothing. If you are interested, you can try to take a walk around the island. I will have Lina be your guide."

"Lina is the one who just brought you in; she's also a candidate for the next clan leader."

Lily knew that Elise wanted to explore the island, so she said directly, "I'll stay here. There are a lot of things to hand over, and we also need to set up a temporary teleportation array."

Ancient teleportation arrays are valuable, but ancient space stones are extremely rare. Even with Elise providing detailed locations, only a handful have been found to date.

Fortunately, teleportation arrays can be dismantled and the ancient space stones inside recycled after use.

"This place isn't exactly close to the Land of Hope, so be prepared to be completely drained."

"Hmph, how could I, a dignified ninth-tier being, be drained dry?" Lily curled her lip.

Elise chuckled softly, then stood up and said, "I'm going to explore the island. Does anyone want to come with me?"

Elena instinctively wanted to get up, but when she thought of everything she had seen in the cave, a bitter look flashed in her eyes.

Just then, Elise's voice suddenly rang in Elena's ear: "I, the young lady, am about to leave, so why are you, the guard, still sitting here? Taking money and slacking off, huh?"

Upon hearing Elise's voice, Elena opened her mouth slightly, but ultimately remained silent and followed behind Elise.

Besides Elena, the little maid also chose to follow Elise. As for Elira, she planned to bring the ghost ship ashore and then find a place to take a nap.

However, her idea was good. Just after she brought the ghost ship back, she received a signal from Elise, asking her to meet up with her.

The thought of Elena's irreconcilable conflict with the little maid gave Elira a headache.

However, she still transformed into a water ball and flew towards Elise's direction.

On the other side, Elise, led by Lina, had reached the highest point of the island, where they could see the general layout of the entire four islands.

In order to discover the island's wonders, Elise even activated the system's assistance, and a dense array of text prompts appeared in her field of vision.

After she blocked out the unimportant notifications, a conspicuous icon appeared before Elise's eyes.

The Eye of Poseidon

This prominent sign is located directly above the island.

Just then, a ball of water landed beside Elise, and Elira transformed back into human form like a slime: "You look so surprised, did you discover something?"

Volume 1: Chapter 673 The Overlord of the Wasteland

"You should be quite familiar with Antia, right?"

Although she didn't know why Elise suddenly asked this, Elira nodded and said, "It's quite familiar; I lived there for a while."

"Why are you suddenly asking about this? Are you thinking of going on vacation there?"

"What I want to ask is, do you know that beneath Antia, a certain deity is sealed?"

“I know, the Lord of the Wasteland. I was killed by Him once.”

As Elira finished speaking, the nearby vegetation suddenly withered, and even Elira's skin gradually became dry and wrinkled.

Elira instinctively turned into mist and vanished, instantly reappearing several hundred meters away, her eyes filled with tension.

Seeing Elira's reaction, Elise chuckled and said, "Don't worry, He is still sealed. It's just that your careless words caused a slight disturbance."

"Why didn't you remind me!" Elira returned to Iris's side; she had just thought the Lord of the Wasteland had awakened.

"Wait, wasn't He sealed beneath Antia?"

“Yes, but only half of it was sealed in Antia. I never knew where the other half was. I never expected it to be here,” Elise said excitedly.

In the game, there is a storyline related to the Wasteland Overlord, but the storyline is incomplete. Elise has been waiting for the official to complete it, but she sent it before she received it.

The follow-up has now appeared before her, but it won't be of much help to her in the present moment.

"Is the island's anomaly also related to Him?"

"It has little to do with the desolation, but it is related to the sea god. One of His eyes is here, and there is another one below Antia. It should be a backup plan He left behind to prevent the desolation from escaping the seal."

"As expected of a high and mighty god, he just puts his eyes here whenever he wants."

"You should be able to do it too, right?"
