A bottle of kidney tonic from the Nether Realm instantly revived Rhine to full health.

"Yo, Your Highness."

Olivia's voice rang out cheerfully in Rhine's mind.

Olivia: "Your performance truly amazed me. I never expected you to be so capable."

Rhine chuckled, "You know how it is, it's the power of love."

Olivia was in a great mood. "Last night's show brought me immense joy. As a reward, I shall bestow upon you a blessing of infinite energy—keep up the good work!"

Another radiant blessing descended upon Rhine.

Infinite energy, huh? Just as the name implies.

Olivia: "Speaking of which, something extraordinary happened in your area late yesterday."

Rhine: "Are you referring to Leta's Grand Tutor finding new Demigod remains?"

Rhine didn't hide anything from Olivia's probing.

After all, Olivia's power resided within his eyes; Rhine couldn't conceal anything from her.

"So it was you!!"

Olivia was overjoyed. This mortal had brought her so many surprises!

Olivia said with a smile, "I thought yesterday's events were too coincidental to be natural! You rascal, how many interesting things are hidden in that head of yours!!"

Rhine reminded her, "Don't forget our agreement, Princess. You cannot pry into my thoughts."

"Naturally!"

Olivia was a dragon of her word. "Not using mind-reading, but understanding a person with my own eyes is quite an interesting endeavor for me."

In fact, From the moment Rhine and Hela confirmed the detailed coordinates for teleportation to Leta.

Everything that happened afterward was within Rhine's calculations.

Detonating the worms, destroying an Orc tribe, and attracting the warlike Spring Breeze and First Love.

Simultaneously, the elemental anomalies caused by Hela's entry into Leta's border would draw Leta's Demigods.

And when the Spring Breeze and First Love encountered Leta's Demigods.

Without a doubt, the Spring Breeze and First Love would be easily destroyed. Immediately after, Leta's Demigods would discover the supreme treasure hidden within the Orc garbage mountain.

A damaged Divine Mechanism.

And the Demigod remains serving as its power source.

The purified Demigod remains were a necessary sacrifice for Leta to crown the "King of the Moon."

And currently, Leta's best candidate for King of the Moon was Alice.

By the time the Demigods found the holy artifact that could save Leta, Rhine had already ensured Alice's body would forever remember him.

Ultimately, the instantaneous explosion of a rift worm directly facilitated the coronation of a New Moon King.

And this New Moon King, Had already been reshaped by Prince Hain.

Thus, Rhine's initial plan in Leta was complete.

From here on, he could leave this matter to ferment on its own.

Now, Rhine needed to shift his attention back to the true objective of his and Hela's visit to Leta.

The ancient dragon, Obadiah.

42. The Strongest Demigod of the Elves

After bidding farewell to Mr. Rhine, Alice sat on her bed, lost in thought for a long time.

"Mr. Rhine..."

Finally, she hugged her blanket, inhaling the lingering scent of Mr. Rhine, and her tired body drifted into a deep sleep.

"Alice, wake up! Alice!"

After an unknown period, Alice, fast asleep, was awakened by her boss's voice.

Alice opened her groggy eyes and saw her boss, covered in cold sweat, calling her name with a trembling voice.

"Alice, wake up quickly, an important figure... wishes to see you..."

An important figure?

Alice mumbled, "Is it time for a client? But I'm so tired..."

"Alice, stop messing around!"

Her boss pulled Alice off the bed. "Go wash your face and change your clothes! Be respectful when you meet this important figure. Answer whatever she asks and don't say anything extra! Understand!"

After a simple wash, Alice changed her clothes and walked out of the suite, heading to the crowded lobby.

However, the moment Alice stepped into the lobby, She, who had been too sleepy to open her eyes, instantly woke up.

The lobby today was unusually quiet.

Normally bustling with song and dance, Miss Alice's usual lively atmosphere was replaced by a deathly silence.

The guests were packed in, yet they all kept their heads down, not daring to utter a word or leave their seats.

The entire ballroom was silent, except for a seat in the furthest corner, emanating an extremely powerful presence, almost like a pressure!

Alice looked over blankly.

She saw a silver-haired beauty, as radiant and stunning as a goddess, expressionlessly chewing on a piece of coarse bread.

A piece of bread, a cup of water.

That was the lunch she had ordered.

The silver-haired beauty possessed beauty comparable to deities, yet for some reason, she looked... extremely haggard.

Her purple eyes were somewhat cloudy, her lowered gaze revealed exhaustion, and her proud, otherworldly posture was shrouded in an unshakeable gloom.

The owner secretly pointed to the silver-haired woman: "It's that esteemed lady. She wishes to see you."

Alice stepped forward and looked at the silver-haired woman: "May I ask who you are...?"

"Hello, Alice."

The silver-haired woman spoke, "I am the Grand Tutor of White Light Courtyard, Iliketra Lucia."

"G-Grand Tutor?!"

Hearing the astonishing name, Alice's heart nearly stopped beating!

After the intense shock, she finally understood the reason for the deathly quiet atmosphere.

Appearing before Alice was the strongest Demigod, who had once single-handedly annihilated a pillar Demigod, assimilated it, and single-handedly maintained Leta's elemental leylines for ten years without decline during Leta's darkest era.

The legendary Grand Tutor of White Light Courtyard, Iliketra Lucia!

Throughout Leta, the common folk might not know the name of the current Regent, but they were certainly familiar with the deeds of this Grand Tutor.

"Grand Tutor..."

Alice said cautiously, "I don't know how I can help you..."

The Grand Tutor asked, "Alice, do you know who your parents are?"

Alice shook her head and answered truthfully, "I'm an abandoned infant. My boss found me and raised me."

The Grand Tutor said, "Your father is the second son of the Royal Family Philimon Family, and your mother is the legitimate daughter of the previous Regent. Your parents unfortunately became losers in a political struggle. Knowing disaster was imminent, they entrusted you to a family while fleeing. Later, you ended up here."

Alice was dumbfounded. Why would the legendary Grand Tutor of White Light know so much about her background?!

The Grand Tutor: "Are you surprised?"

Alice: "A little..."

The Grand Tutor: "I simply did some research before coming to find you."

The Grand Tutor: "Alice, I need you to come with me now. I'll explain the full story on the way."

"I understand."

The bewildered Alice still nodded.

Although she was completely confused at the moment, not knowing what had happened, why the Grand Tutor knew her background, and why her background sounded so impressive?!

But Alice had no room to refuse.

She was facing that Grand Tutor...

The Grand Tutor quickly finished the remaining bread: "Oh, right, boss."

The owner, who had been waiting respectfully, asked with awe, "Does the Grand Tutor have any other instructions?"

The Grand Tutor: "Give me the Demigod remains you've collected. That item does not belong to you."

The owner immediately said, "I'll go get it for you right away!"

When the Grand Tutor arrived, the owner knew that the remnant could absolutely not be kept.

He respectfully presented the ceramic pot containing the Demigod remnants to the Grand Tutor.

The Grand Tutor: "In a couple of days, I will send someone to pay you for it."

After speaking, the Grand Tutor's gaze fell upon the ceramic pot.

Upon opening the pot, the Ore Worm inside let out an excited hiss towards the Grand Tutor.

In fact, upon closer inspection, one would realize that the material composing the worm was not ordinary ore.

It was rusted mithril.

"And also..."

At this moment, the Grand Tutor said to Alice again, "You work here?"

Alice nodded.

Grand Tutor: "This is a scandal. From now on, do not mention it again."

Alice gave a wry smile. "But everyone here knows I'm a prostitute. Even if I don't mention it..."

Grand Tutor: "They will forget."

Alice: "Huh?"

After speaking, the Grand Tutor gently tapped the clay pot with his knuckles.

Hiss--!!

Instantly, the worm in the pot let out a piercing shriek that echoed throughout the ballroom... no, throughout the entire town!

When the worm's shrieking finally stopped, As the people in the ballroom looked at Alice again, their eyes held only unfamiliarity and amazement. They seemed to have forgotten Alice...

They saw only a strange Elf maiden as beautiful as a goddess.

Alice was shocked. She looked at the unfamiliar gazes around her, a sense of panic rising in her heart. "Grand Tutor, what did you do?!"

Grand Tutor: "I had this thing eat their memories."

As he spoke, the residual worm transformed into a flowing pool of mithril and flowed into the Grand Tutor's body.

The Grand Tutor walked towards the door. "It's time to go, Alice."

.

The Grand Tutor, bathed in Leta's white light, erased the memories of Alice from everyone in the town's minds.
