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

Page 212

Theresa is no longer living in Elise's manor, but in a cabin outside Hope City, the same place where she and Elise lived together for a period of time in her memory.

"I see." Iris nodded thoughtfully, then reached out and ruffled Flora's hair, saying, "It's normal for experiments to fail, but we need to do a good job of safety. I'll be worried if you get hurt."

"I, I know."

Although she knew that Miss Iris was probably flirting with her, Flora still felt her heart race after hearing these words.

After casually strolling around the magic workshop, she went directly to the wooden house outside the city.

Lily didn't go with them this time. Because of her trip to the Endless Ice Plains with Elise, she had accumulated a lot of things that required her attention. She could only take a break from her busy schedule to see Elise.

Theresa's cabin was also within the World Tree's protective range, so Elise didn't go there, but instead had the world teleport her to the vicinity of the cabin.

As soon as she teleported over, Elise saw Theresa watering flowers in the small flowerbed by the door of the cabin from afar.

Seemingly sensing something, Theresa looked up at Iris.

Upon seeing Elise, a faint smile appeared on her face: "You've come."

"Hmm, it seems you miss the days when we lived here."

"More or less." Theresa put down the watering can, a hint of dazedness flashing in her eyes: "According to my memories, the time I spent living here was the most relaxed and comfortable. I didn't need to care about my mission, and no one would bother me."

"The only pity is that it lasted too short a time." Theresa sighed with some melancholy as she said this.

Actually, when I was living in seclusion with Elise, I had a dilemma: if my immortality curse wasn't lifted, would I just be able to watch Elise slowly grow old in front of me and eventually die in front of me?

At that time, she even selfishly wondered if there was a way to also taint Elise with the curse of immortality, so that she could live with her until the world was destroyed.

"It's okay, there will definitely be opportunities in the future."

"Mmm," Theresa responded softly, then invited Iris to sit down and made her a cup of tea.

Seeing Theresa's skillful technique, a hint of surprise flashed in Elise's eyes, but she quickly realized that Theresa had even studied magical artifacts, so it was quite normal for her to put some effort into tea ceremony.

"I'm a little curious now, just how much do you know?"

"Based on the memories I've awakened so far, it seems I know quite a lot."

"You haven't been trying to remove the curse from your body lately, have you?"

"No, but the awakening of memories is like opening a breach in a dam. Even if you don't remove the curse, those memories will gradually awaken."

"But you don't need to worry, the memories that have been awakened in this way will not have a great impact on my mind."

"But those memories still had a great impact on you."

Take Theresa's personality, for example. According to Elise's understanding of Theresa, she is introverted, but she will show a lively side in front of familiar people.

But the current Theresa, in Elise's hometown words, has a sense of having seen through the vanities of the world.

"It's impossible to say there's no impact. I've noticed the changes myself, but it doesn't feel bad, so you don't need to worry."

"Ok."

Elise didn't have anything she needed to do today, so she decided to stay and spend the morning with Theresa.

In the afternoon, I accompanied her to the magic workshop before going to find Elsa.

Elsa usually trains at her manor. When Elise found Elsa, she could see her practicing the sword skills that Elise had taught her, looking very focused, and she didn't even notice when Elise approached.

By the time she spotted Elise, Elise was already standing not far behind Elsa.

Upon seeing Elise, Elsa's face lit up with a bright smile: "You've come!"

"Well, it depends on how your practice is going."

"Of course I practiced as you taught me, but after practicing like this for a long time, it got a bit boring."

"You've only been practicing for a short time, and you're already getting impatient."

Elsa shrugged and said, "There's nothing I can do about it. I've already learned everything you taught me."

"So fast?"

Elise looked at Elsa with some surprise. Although this protagonist in the nurturing system had extremely high learning efficiency, it shouldn't be this fast, right?

You should know that I taught her a lot at once; according to her estimate, it would be enough for Elsa to learn for at least half a year.

"I don't know how it happened, but the things you taught me are like things I've learned before. I was able to use them after just a few tries." As Elsa spoke, she casually swung her sword, and the sharp sword energy instantly cut a crack in the training ground.

Seeing this, Elise couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. The things she taught Elsa were things she had taught her before. Perhaps it was the awakening of her memories that caused her learning efficiency to soar.

With that thought in mind, Elise quickly felt relieved.

For her, Elsa's improved learning efficiency was a good thing.

Since she's feeling bored, it's a good time to move the training process to the next stage.

"Now that you've learned it, it's time to put it to the test in real combat."

"Real combat?" Elsa blinked, somewhat bewildered.

"That's right. Your next training goal is to become an adventurer. You'll be considered successful when you advance to Rank A."

"It seems like it's very difficult for an A-rank adventurer to advance, right?"

"Yes, it has to be difficult to be effective."

"Will you stay with me?"

Elise tilted her head and said, "That depends on whether I have time."

Volume 1: Chapter 440 How could it be uncomfortable to be so fragrant and soft?

"Would you like to come with me on the first few missions?" Elsa looked at Iris expectantly.

Every time Elise was looked at with that gaze, she couldn't help but recall the time when she raised Elsa, and how Elsa would always show that same expression whenever she wanted something or made a request.

Elise, who was somewhat nostalgic for the past, nodded: "Alright, since you've been training so hard, I'll keep you company for a bit."

"Yay! I knew the teacher was the best to me!" Elsa excitedly gave Iris a big hug.

But Elise was taken aback by the way the other person addressed her: "What did you just call me?"

"Oh right, why did I just call you teacher?" Elsa didn't seem to realize it at first, but after a moment of surprise, she quickly came to her senses: "You've taught me so much, it doesn't seem wrong for me to call you teacher."

"And, I don't know why, but it feels especially natural for me to call you 'teacher.' Could it be that we were teacher and student before?"

"Who knows."

To prevent Elsa from recalling anything trivial, Elise decisively ended the conversation.

After snuggling against Iris, Elsa reluctantly let go, then muttered softly, "That's strange, why do I feel so comfortable holding you?"

"How could it be uncomfortable to be so fragrant and soft?" Elise twitched the corner of her mouth, always feeling that Elsa might awaken that memory of her time as a master at any moment.

"Right."

Elsa didn't seem to think much of it and quickly pulled Elise aside to ask when their adventure would begin.

"Let's do it tomorrow. Don't get too excited. The life of an adventurer isn't as wonderful as you imagine." Iris patiently explained to Elsa the things she needed to be aware of after becoming an adventurer.

Elsa sat down next to Iris, listening attentively.

Si felt as if she had returned to the beginning, when her teacher had given her the same advice before her first adventure.

Even during their first adventure, though she was told to handle it alone, she secretly followed behind, worried that she hadn't noticed anything.

It should be noted that her abilities already surpassed those of her teacher at that time, but she simply didn't show it.

If I become too strong, and my teacher says there's nothing more he can teach me, what should I do?

That's what she thought at the time.

Elise talked to Elsa for a long time about the precautions for adventurers, even repeating several points several times.

Feeling she had said enough, Elise picked up her teacup and took a sip.

The tea in this cup has been drunk up several times, and Elsa has been kind enough to refill it each time.

"That's about it. Anyway, you must remember what I said. Come back to Seria tomorrow morning, and I'll take you to the Adventurers' Guild."

"Okay, teacher~"

Hearing how she addressed her, Elise sighed helplessly. It hadn't been long, and she was already calling her that so fluently.

Oh well, she seems to like it anyway, so let her call me that.

As long as Elsa doesn't do anything reckless, everything will be fine.

But then again, now that I am Elsa's successor, it seems like it wouldn't matter if Elsa did that kind of thing to me; I could even become stronger from the pleasure.

and many more!

Elise felt that something was off with her thoughts; she was even starting to think about such things. Could it be that she had received too much inheritance, causing some kind of impact on her mental state?

……

The next day, Elise brought Elsa to the Adventurers' Guild early in the morning.

Although it was still relatively early, the Adventurers' Guild was already packed with people. After all, it was the capital of the empire, and the Adventurers' Guild here was the largest in the empire, offering the most comprehensive range of commissions.

Any requests that can't be resolved elsewhere will be sent here.

On the guild's largest magic crystal, various unfinished, high-difficulty tasks continue to scroll.

However, Elise didn't care and instead led Elsa directly to one of the counters to register as an adventurer.

With Elise's help, the adventurers' registration went very smoothly.

Elsa looked at the adventurer card she had just received. It was the lowest-level card, but even so, her face was filled with undisguised excitement.

"By the way, teacher, aren't you going to register?"

“I have it.” Elise had registered before, but she rarely acts as an adventurer now, so the card has been lying in her spatial ring.

The lowest-ranking adventurers don't get many quests. They mostly collect magic cores from low-ranking monsters, eliminate low-ranking monsters that are causing trouble, or even find cats and dogs.

While most low-level quests are like this, there is a very small number of low-level quests that offer extremely generous rewards, but these quests usually have a very long quest chain.

Just as Iris was pondering what quest to take, Elsa, standing beside her, excitedly pointed to the quest to clear out goblin lairs and said, "Teacher, how about we do this quest?"

"Sure, but the environment in the goblin's lair is really disgusting. You'll have to figure it out yourself."

"It's okay, as long as we don't go in," Elsa muttered before accepting the task.

An adventurer can accept no more than three quests at a time. Elise had wanted to see what interesting quests were available, but unfortunately, she couldn't find any after scanning the quest board.

In the end, I could only find three tasks that were relatively close to each other.

After accepting the quest, the two quickly arrived at a small town outside the city. The goblins in the town had been very active recently, so the town had issued a quest to the Adventurers' Guild.

The town mayor explained the situation to the two girls. Upon seeing Iris and Elsa, a look of amazement flashed in his eyes. He then whispered, "Ladies, although goblins are not strong, their lair is in a cave, which may affect your activities. You should think it over carefully, because being caught by goblins can have a very miserable end."

"You don't need to worry about these things."

Elise led Elsa directly to the goblin's lair and said, "Alright, you can decide what to do."

“Since the teacher said that goblin lairs are disgusting, let’s just take care of it outside.” She said, raising her staff toward the cave entrance.

The Lunar New Year is approaching, so there should be extra updates then.

Volume 1: Chapter 441 Crimson Meteor

As the incantation began, the surrounding air became hot and dry, and the fire element became active.

Such obvious magical fluctuations also aroused the goblins in the cave.

However, just as the goblins were about to rush out of the cave, an ice wall rose up, completely blocking them from entering.

The ice wall is very thick, and it's impossible for goblins to break it in a short time, no matter how many there are.

Elsa was about to unleash a powerful fire spell, which, given her current strength, would require a considerable amount of chanting and channeling to cast.

However, with the goblins trapped, she had plenty of time.

Although Elsa finished chanting, a huge fireball crashed directly into the cave, and the ice wall blocking the entrance melted and disappeared in the instant before the fireball arrived.

With a deafening roar, the goblin's lair was gone.

However, Elsa's attack caused the hill to collapse to some extent.

"A good response." Elise, who had been observing from the sidelines, nodded.

Elsa, flattered by the praise, smiled happily: "Just to be on the safe side, shouldn't we do a few more rounds?"

"No need for that. You should be able to sense that the cave has collapsed and there are no living creatures inside."
