Weiwei's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly said, "I, I accidentally hit my tongue just now..."

"Ah? Is it serious?"

"It's okay...it's just a small wound, it will be fine soon..."

"I see..." Aisha didn't ask any more questions, but said, "I'm done washing, I'll be leaving first."

"I, I'm almost there too..."

Vivian said quickly, her voice unclear.

Elsa wiped her body and picked out a clean petticoat. She came to the clothes rack and found that her petticoat was neatly folded on her nun's uniform.

"Strange, did I fold it before putting it away?"

But Elsa didn't think much about it and took off her petticoat.

Not long after, Vivian also came out. Elsa unconsciously looked at Vivian a few more times - after all, compared to Elsa, Vivian's figure was really full of femininity.

Elsa sighed silently and began brushing her teeth. Vivian also changed her clothes and rinsed her mouth with well water mixed with a dark green plant juice, then looked straight at Elsa.

Perhaps the one day of getting along shortened the distance between Vivian and Elsa. Vivian was no longer so restrained in front of Elsa. At the beginning, she didn't even dare to look at Elsa for a few more times, but now she can occasionally look Elsa in the eye without avoiding it.

In fact, Elsa was very happy to have a good relationship with Vivian, but... being stared at while brushing her teeth made Elsa feel very... weird.

"Do you...want to try it?"

Aisha asked tentatively, and then she saw Vivian blinking in anticipation.

"C-can it?"

——This is clearly not a question of whether it is possible, but an expression of eagerness to try.

Elsa suddenly felt that Vivian also had such a childish side, and couldn't help but smile.

"of course."

"But I, I don't know how to do it..."

Vivian, like everyone else here, rinsed her mouth with a special mouthwash, but she had never tried it with Aisha.

"I'll help you."

Vivian nodded timidly, but her eyes were shining.

Elsa smeared toothpaste onto a clean, soft cloth—actually, just some woody-scented plant powder and rock salt, sometimes mixed with a little cool mint—and then pressed it against a sturdy bamboo stick. While this method offered limited benefits for protecting teeth, given its single active ingredient and lack of abrasives and active agents, it at least offered some psychological comfort.

Vivian experienced the feeling of "brushing teeth" for the first time, and it was done by Elsa herself.

"For example, you can start with the front teeth first, preferably paying attention to the areas between the teeth."

Elsa wiped the teeth as gently as possible. She had to admit that although Vivian just rinsed her mouth in a simple way every day like everyone else in this world, her teeth looked very nice, neat, white and translucent. The small and exquisite canine teeth were just right, and her slightly pink tongue was tilted up uneasily, just like Vivian who looked a little nervous at this moment with her neck tilted up.

It's cute.

"Then you can continue from the inside. It might be a little uncomfortable, but it will be fine after a while."

As she spoke, Aisha pushed the bamboo stick in a little further.

"Well……"

Vivian made a sound unconsciously, and only felt the salty taste of rock salt, the coolness of mint, and a hint of unknown fragrance spreading in her mouth, which contributed to a faint sweet taste. The fragrant breath was inhaled and exhaled with her breath.

She subconsciously closed her mouth and bit Elsa's hand.

"Um..."

She blinked, her warm breath misted up the lenses of her glasses, and she made a nasal sound, as if she wanted to say something, but her tongue touched Elsa's fingers again.

Elsa suddenly felt like she was brushing her puppy's teeth.

Vivian raised her eyes and looked at Elsa, her gaze met hers, then quickly glanced away. She didn't know where to look for a moment, and finally closed her eyes tightly.

Originally, Vivian was just curious and simply wanted to try the same thing as Elsa, but when she actually did it, she immediately found that the feeling of having her lips and teeth pried open by Elsa's fingers was...very difficult to describe. She opened her mouth, unable to stop the secretion of saliva, and at the same time felt the warmth and softness of Elsa's fingers, as well as the strange feeling of the bamboo stick rubbing between her lips and teeth.

She blushed uncontrollably.

46. ​​Holy Sisters

Vivian lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

Although she was very tired, and a day of activity made Vivian exhausted both physically and mentally, Vivian just couldn't fall asleep at all - Elsa's lips and body kept appearing in front of her eyes, and her nose seemed to be filled with the scent of Elsa. Everything about Elsa disturbed her mind and attracted her all the time.

My heart would beat faster and my cheeks would get hot from time to time.

Vivian felt like she wasn't normal anymore.

Is this what happens between friends?

Vivian secretly glanced at Elsa, who was just sitting on the bed reading a book. She looked completely different from her. Vivian also remembered that the look in Elsa's eyes when she looked at her was completely different from her current expression.

It seems... I don't feel the same way towards Elsa as Elsa does towards me...

Vivian looked away, not knowing whether she was frustrated or sad.

She didn't know what friendship was like. Had she overdone it or was she going in the wrong direction? She didn't know the difference, but she felt something was wrong—that wasn't how friends were described in the book she read.

What should friends do?

Vivian felt mixed emotions and couldn't sleep any more.

On the other side, Elsa was unaware of Vivian's overflowing emotions. She flipped through the book alone for a while, then opened the panel and took a look.

【Elsa Faris】

【HP: 99999】

[Magic Points: 2]

【Strength: 99999】

【Spirit: 1】

[Unallocated points: 0]

[Idea (Vivian Trauns): 83]

【-】

The other panels remained unchanged, but Vivian's favorability had increased by 12 points. This wasn't surprising to Elsa; it would have been surprising if it hadn't changed at all. After all, they had spent a whole day together and had become friends.

I just don’t know what level 83 points means to ordinary people.

Aisha thought and closed the panel.

At this moment, a candlelight accompanied by footsteps slowly drifted past the window, causing Elsa to raise her eyes. Then, knock - knock - there was a knock on the door.

"Sister Faris, Sister Trawins, are you asleep?"

It was Sister Mary's voice.

Seeing that Vivian was not asleep either, Elsa got out of bed and opened the door for Mary.

"What's up Sister Mary?"

Mary's gaze lingered briefly on Elsa's neck before she looked away. "I'm so sorry to bother you so late. It seems you've already been to the underground palace."

"I went to check it out today, but the underground palace has been sealed off."

"Yes, actually, I came here to convey something related to this matter. As you can see, there are some problems in the underground palace. To be honest, it's a bit tricky. Therefore, the church is urgently short of manpower. The Bishop has issued orders to each of us. As candidates for the Holy Sister, you have also been assigned tasks. I came here to invite you to the front hall to discuss in detail."

"Eh? Now?"

"Right now. Although I'm sorry for not treating you well, this matter cannot be delayed."

Mary's expression was serious, and Elsa realized that the church was probably really short of manpower.

Elsa turned her head and looked at Vivian, who had also been listening to their conversation. Seeing Elsa's inquiring look, she nodded.

"Then please wait a moment, we need to change clothes."

Now Elsa and Vivian were only wearing thin petticoats, so they naturally couldn't go out like this.

"Of course, remember to bring your weapons."

Mary reminded.

Elsa returned to her room, retrieved her spare nun's uniform, quickly changed into it, and simply tied her hair up and put on a headscarf. Vivian was slower, so Elsa waited outside the door while asking Mary about the situation.

"Speaking of which, Sister Mary, what exactly happened in the underground palace? Could it be that an evolved monster appeared?"

Aisha asked.

Mary shook her head.

"It's far more serious than this. You're a candidate for the Holy Sister title, so the Church won't hide this from you. However, you must be mentally prepared, because the reason the underground palace is sealed this time is because the sealed 'Demon General' is about to be resurrected."

"Demon General?"

Mary's words surprised Elsa.

Although she had not experienced the brutal war decades ago, everyone living on this continent had heard of the legends and stories of that time. The so-called Demon Generals were upper-level demons in the Demon King's army who had outstanding abilities in strategy, military strategy, or strategic significance. "Demon General" was a title recognized and bestowed by the Demon King himself, and to a certain extent, it also represented their extremely high threat.

Elsa had read many books describing the war and had heard many rumors. She just felt that the Demon General was very dangerous and scary, but how dangerous and scary he was exactly, Elsa couldn't tell anyone. After all, she had never actually seen the Demon General, and her understanding of the Demon General was based entirely on descriptions in books and her own imagination.

Elsa pondered for a moment, carefully considering her tone, and suddenly asked, "Sister Mary, in your opinion... can the demon general be half as powerful as the world's strongest?"

"The strongest half of the world?" Mary was stunned by Elsa's strange statement, but she still patiently explained, "The strength of the demon generals is not uniform, some are strong, some are weak. It's difficult for me to answer this question... But what is certain is that the Demon King is undoubtedly powerful among the demons. Even all the demon generals combined cannot match the Demon King."

The Demon King's power never needs any proof. If it weren't for the Demon King, how could the demons go to war with several races at the same time?

"Elsa, Sister Mary, I'm ready."

At this time, Vivian came out of the house, and Mary walked in front to lead the way. By the way, she also gathered six nuns in the other two rooms. It seemed that they were also candidates for the Holy Nun nominated from the subordinate towns. Aisha wanted to ask their names, but she didn't have the chance.

"arrive."

Mary led Elsa and Vivian to the front hall, which was now bright as day. Eleven young nuns had gathered there, nineteen in total, including Elsa and her companions. They were surrounded by armored knights and church members in priestly robes. Elsa even spotted the solemn-looking Marvin and the others among them. They had noticed Elsa, but now was not the time to reminisce. Elsa nodded to them as a greeting.

Led by Mary, Elsa and the others stood together with other nuns.

"They are all candidates for this Holy Sister," Mary reminded quietly, "There were supposed to be twenty of them, but one of the escort teams was attacked along the way... Alas..."

Mary sighed, then stepped back and joined the church members around her.

It turned out that someone had already died.

Elsa felt a bit down in her heart. She raised her eyes and looked at the other candidates for the Holy Sister. Unlike the nuns in the church monastery in Weilin Town, these nuns were armed with a variety of weapons, clearly trained in magic and martial arts. Their auras were more solemn and holy. Elsa's first impression was of distance. Not the alienation of being rejected from a thousand miles away, but in front of these people, Elsa and Vivian, who had changed their ways, seemed less pious, or, in other words, less "nuns."

This feeling is very strange, but it is easy to feel it when you are in it: these nuns in front of you have all experienced strict and long training. They have lived in the monastery since childhood, grew up here, learned everything in life here, are pious and awe-inspiring, and the light in their eyes is clear and holy.

Perhaps because there were so many people here, Vivian leaned close to Elsa, while also looking at the other nuns curiously.

Not long after, Bishop Pittman arrived and briefly explained the situation. Then Elsa and the others followed the arrangements and set off overnight to assemble at the underground palace.

47. Bringing up the past

It was already late at night.

In the sealed room, the azure magic circle flickered with a faint light as if breathing. Patriculosia Celisilda lay quietly in the center of the magic circle, without any covering on her body. The lines on her skin emitted the same glow as the magic circle.

After arranging the combat preparations in the underground palace, she stayed here, absorbing magic power from the magic circle to replenish herself.

Her body had almost lost its ability to store magic. Once all her magic was lost and the magic seals on her body lost their effectiveness, she would be doomed. Therefore, she had to constantly absorb magic from the outside world. To her, magic was as important as her blood, so Celyhilda always prepared a large number of magic potions to carry with her.

Of course, this does not mean that she has lost her fighting ability. Although she is not as strong as in her heyday forty years ago, she is still a sage, and her attainments in magic are almost unmatched - no matter how weak she is, her strength is still unquestionable.

At this time, there were two gentle knocks on the door.

"Sage, our men have assembled. As per your instructions, we have formed a solid infantry line outside the underground palace."

The voice of the visitor was deep, and Celyhilda could tell it was Lord Okai Seaborn.

Cerihilda's impression of Shibern still remains at the time when he was a boy in his teens. She woke up many times during this time, and each time she saw Shibern, he seemed to become more stable and mature, and now he is entering old age.

This made Celilda sigh.
