When Nora killed the gods, the phantom of the world-destroying witch was always by her side. She couldn't say the specifics, but Nora killed all the gods back then, making her a true god-slayer.
No matter where she hid or what her condition was, she only wanted to kill those gods.
It's perfectly accurate to describe Nora at that time as having brought an era to a close.
However, she was a relatively rational person. After killing all the gods, she did not choose to do anything that would lead to the destruction of the world like the others.
But whenever someone tries to seize the power left behind by the fallen god, she will appear and kill them all, leaving no one alive. The organization she was in was trying to seize the power of the god, and then... then she died by Nora's sword.
They died very quickly, without any pain.
She can still remember the cold look in his eyes when he killed her.
She simply couldn't imagine what Nora, who was so cheerful and lively, had gone through to become so cold and indifferent.
Just as Elira breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Nora's departing figure, a soft voice suddenly sounded behind her: "Good morning, Miss Elira."
Upon hearing the voice, Elira instinctively turned around and saw that Elsa had appeared behind her at some point, smiling at her.
For some reason, Nora felt a chill run down her spine when she saw her smile.
This savior wasn't a good person either. She did save the world, that's true, but in order to resurrect her teacher, the witch who destroyed the world, she pushed the world to the brink of destruction, and then kept jumping back and forth on the edge of that brink.
She felt that this savior didn't care about the world at all, and perhaps only thought that the destruction of the world would affect her resurrecting her teacher, which was why she kept teetering on the edge.
Gathering her scattered thoughts, Elira forced a smile: "Good morning, Miss Elsa."
"Miss Elira, may I ask you a question?"
Could Elira dare say no? Obviously not, so she nodded very kindly: "Please speak."
"I don't know if it's just my imagination, but why do I always feel like you're a little afraid of me? Am I that scary?" Elsa's face showed a hint of grievance, making her look somewhat pitiful.
This scene felt strangely familiar to Elira. If she remembered correctly, she should have seen it on Iris before.
As expected of the student of the World-Destroying Witch, her behavior is very similar to that of the World-Destroying Witch; she has learned both the good and the bad.
"It's just your imagination. Miss Elsa is such a good person, why would I be afraid?"
"That's good. I was a little worried that maybe I did something wrong."
Just then, Elsa seemed to sense something and turned her gaze toward Iris's room in the corridor, where she could see Iris just as she pushed open the door and walked out of the room.
Looking at the two people standing in the corridor, Elise asked curiously, "What are you doing standing here?"
“We just got up, we were just saying hello,” Elira explained.
"Oh, I'm actually planning to take Elsa to Golden Street today. Would you like to come along?"
Before responding to Elise's invitation, Elira inexplicably felt a sense of crisis. She coughed twice and said, "I want to stay home today, so I won't go."
"If you miss this opportunity, who knows when you'll be able to go shopping with me again? Don't you want to reconsider?"
"no need."
Elira felt that if she continued to think about it, she would be in danger.
She now has some doubts about whether the savior beside her still retains memories of her past life; otherwise, why would she feel such a deadly danger from him?
Or is it just that I'm overthinking things?
With no time to think further, Elira decisively chose to flee this place of trouble.
Watching Elira leave in a hurry, a look of doubt flashed in Iris's eyes. Why did she feel that Elira was acting a little strange today?
"Are we going to Golden Street today? I heard it's quite lively there."
"Yes, it's definitely lively. I can't really say for sure, but you'll see when you get there."
"it is good."
……
Golden Street, a place Elise knew very well.
However, for Elsa, who was visiting for the first time, this place was full of novelty.
Looking at Elsa, who was as curious as a child, Iris couldn't help but recall a promise she had made to her.
She had promised Elsa that she would bring her here when she had time, but she never did.
In a way, this can be considered as fulfilling the original agreement.
"Don't just look, tell me directly if there's anything you want."
“But I don’t have any money.” Elsa blinked.
"It's alright, I can lend it to you first." Of course, she knew Elsa's financial situation; in the past, Iris had always accompanied Elsa to become adventurers to earn money.
The main reason is that adventurers can go to more places and better nurture Elsa. If nurturing her isn't a factor, she has plenty of ways to make money.
"But everything here is so expensive."
"It's okay, I believe you'll be able to earn money to pay it back in the future, like becoming an adventurer or something."
"An adventurer? But adventurers need a certain level of strength, right? I'm only at rank three right now."
Elise was originally thinking about how to shift the topic to becoming stronger, since she wouldn't be able to nurture the other person without setting a goal.
Unexpectedly, Elsa took the initiative to steer the conversation toward strength, saving Elsa a lot of trouble.
Elise naturally followed up on Elsa's words, saying, "If you want to become stronger, I can help you."
"Really?" Elsa looked expectant, but quickly lowered her head and whispered, "But you've already helped me so much, and you even brought me here. I feel a little bad if I bother you again."
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Have you forgotten how special we are? Besides, I want you to protect me when you become stronger."
Volume 1: Chapter 423 How to Use a Personal Maid
Elise's words seemed to trigger a key word in Elsa's mind, causing her to fall into a daze.
This moment of distraction wasn't something Elsa was deliberately feigning. She was thinking about her past life, how she had promised her teacher that she would protect her once she became strong, and why she hadn't kept her promise.
This time, this time she absolutely will not let that happen again.
Seeing Elsa's reaction, Elise's lips curled up slightly. She felt that this keyword should remind Elsa of something, or at least strengthen her reason for becoming stronger.
Elsa gradually came to her senses, then looked at Iris seriously and said, "I want to become stronger."
"No problem, just leave it to me." At this moment, Elise had already planned out a nurturing plan for Elsa in her mind. As long as Elsa agreed to her conditions, the nurturing could begin soon.
"Since you've already made up your mind, let's go buy some things we'll need for training."
After saying that, Elise took Elsa's hand and began to shop extensively on Golden Street.
The shopping spree continued until noon, after which Elise took Elsa to a restaurant for lunch before returning to the manor.
The manor is now connected to the Land of Hope via an ancient teleportation array, so Elise certainly won't be training Elsa here.
She took Elsa directly to the Land of Hope via an ancient teleportation array.
Elsa, arriving at the Land of Hope, looked at the magnificent city before her, her eyes flashing with undisguised astonishment.
She had visited this place, the Land of Hope, in her previous life after Elise's death. She hadn't seen any city then, so if nothing unexpected happened, this should be the city her teacher had built in this life.
Moreover, the main inhabitants here are currently elves.
Although she had seen elves before, this was the first time she had ever seen so many elves.
Seeing Elsa's shocked expression, Iris smiled smugly and said, "How about it? This is my secret base."
"So there are so many elves in this world?"
"Are not you just saw it?"
Seeing that Elsa was still a little dazed, Iris took her hand and led her to her residence in Hope City. Here, whether it was sparring or training, there was basically no need to hide anything.
Furthermore, if concealment is needed, there's no need to activate any barriers; simply asking the World Tree for a small favor is sufficient.
Currently, besides Lily, who coexists with the World Tree, only Iris can control it.
Although it was said that they were going to start training, since it was only a promise, they couldn't just start right away. So this time, Elise simply brought Elsa here for a look.
It's a pity that Elira didn't have time today, otherwise I could have brought her along. I feel that if she saw the situation here, her expression would probably be similar to Elsa's.
Gathering her scattered thoughts, Elise smiled and said, "From now on, when you come here, you can stay in this manor. This is also my residence here. Now, let me show you around."
Just as Elise was about to take Elsa shopping, Lily's petite figure suddenly appeared beside them.
Lily looked at Elsa next to Iris with some curiosity and asked, "Why does this one look a little unfamiliar?"
"She is a new good friend of mine, and I brought her here to look around."
Since it was Elise who brought them, it meant there was no problem. Lily didn't think much of it and simply said to Elise directly, "Now that our clan has settled down here, I want to bring over all the clansmen who have been scattered elsewhere. What do you think?"
“Sure, now is the time when we need manpower. I’ll write down the locations of those elves right away.”
Faced with Elise's directness, Lily couldn't help but smile slightly. Back then, she had to pay a heavy price to get a position from Elise, but now Elise was giving it to her directly.
This is the benefit of a cooperative relationship.
“If it were just a cooperative relationship, you wouldn’t be able to get this information from me so easily. I’m only being so direct because of you,” Elise said, handing the written notes to Lily.
"How do you know what I'm thinking?"
"I can tell just by looking at your expression."
Elise knew very well that Lily wasn't the type to wear her heart on her sleeve. As the chieftain of the Elf race, it was impossible for her to be without guile, and that expression she had just made was clearly something she had deliberately displayed.
Although Elise noticed, she pretended not to.
"Then...thank you."
"Just a verbal thank you?"
"I'll express my gratitude in a more practical way when I've thought it through."
Before Elise could respond, Lily teleported away, but she was immediately teleported back by Elise.
Lily blinked, instinctively wanting to teleport away again, but the World Tree refused to lend her its power at that moment.
Knowing she couldn't escape, Lily could only whisper, "Wait, when things aren't so busy, how about I be your personal maid for a few days?"
"That's fine then, but don't forget, you haven't fulfilled your promise to be my personal maid last time."
"Okay, I won't forget."
Even if Elise hadn't said anything, she wouldn't have forgotten. After all, Elise had helped her so much, and she would feel guilty if she didn't show her appreciation.
Lily even felt that being Elise's personal maid wasn't quite enough, and she started thinking about what else she could do to thank her.
After Lily left, Elsa asked in a low voice, "Miss Elise, who was that just now?"
"That's the chieftain of the Elf race. Don't let her childish appearance fool you; she's actually an old loli who's several hundred years old."
"what?"
"Alright, now that no one's bothering us, I'll show you around here."
"Oh."
Elsa followed very obediently behind Iris, but her mind was replaying the conversation between Iris and Lily.
She felt that her teacher's demands for reward were too frivolous. If it were her, she would definitely choose a few items from the Elven treasure vault.
But what Elsa didn't know was that Elise had a reason for making Lily her personal maid.
Besides being able to tease Lily more, Elise values Lily's ninth-tier strength even more. With Lily as her personal maid, she can go to more places.
Volume 1: Chapter 424 Lily's Sudden Realization
The next day, Elise began to teach Elsa.
She had originally planned to rest for a few days before searching for the lost ancient magical technology, but because of Theresa's unexpected joy, the search for ancient magical technology could be put on hold for the time being.
She naturally used the free time to teach Elsa.
Elsa, as the protagonist of the nurturing genre, possesses an incredibly terrifying talent for growth.
What would take most people ten days to two weeks to see results in Elsa, might only take less than a day.
Her talent for growth allows her to improve no matter what she does, even in eating, drinking, and having fun. This is the terrifying level of a protagonist who grows up in a nurturing system.
As long as she follows her own development plan, it's only a matter of time before she becomes the savior again.
Elsa's current profession is a magician, but the characteristic of a protagonist who is nurtured is that she can become all-powerful through nurturing, and the savior is the final result of Elsa's all-round development.
Just as Elise was supervising Elsa's training, Lily appeared beside Elise once again and whispered, "I feel like you've changed."
