"Korlot?"

Elsa murmured softly, then, as if realizing something, immediately lifted her head and seriously scrutinized Liens.

She then picked up Liens's Adventurer's Certificate and looked at it, only then sighing in relief, her tightly furrowed brows smoothing out, allowing her beautiful face to regain its heroic and capable demeanor.

"You're finally here."

Elsa immediately stood up, walked quickly to Liens, returned his Adventurer's Certificate, and then extended her right hand, saying seriously:

"Hello, my name is Elsa, and I am one of the current managers of the Adventurers' Association in Kara City."

"On behalf of all members of the Kara City Adventurers' Association, I solemnly welcome you and sincerely thank you for extending a helping hand to us at this critical moment."

"Miss Elsa, there's no need to be so polite."

"I just accepted a commission from the Adventurers' Association; we're simply getting what we need from each other."

Liens extended his hand and politely shook Elsa's hand before releasing it.

From the elemental reactions on Elsa, he could tell she was only a Knight who had not yet completed elemental purification.

And when they shook hands just now, he could also feel many calluses on Elsa's palm, which indicated that she must often wield a weapon.

He just didn't know the level of her technique?

If she hadn't yet comprehended her own style then her level should be similar to Adonis's.

"Reggie, you go out first; this gentleman and I have important matters to discuss."

"After you go out, tell everyone that if it's not too important, put it aside for now, and I'll handle it after things here are done."

"Oh, and if President Benjamin returns, tell him to come here immediately."

Elsa instructed the man who had brought Liens over.

"Alright, I'll go inform everyone now."

The man nodded seriously in response, and then quickly walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.

At this moment, he finally felt relieved; from Elsa's demeanor, it was clear that Liens had not lied, and he might be very important to their current situation.

The evacuation drill they had been practicing might soon be put to use.

Thinking of this, the man's heart was filled with anticipation.

After the man left, Elsa wanted to ask Liens to sit down, but found that there was no sofa in the room; it had long been moved outside to serve as a makeshift bed for those who needed it.

So, she could only awkwardly stand and talk to Liens: "Mr. Heier… I hope it's alright if I call you that?"

"A name is just a designation; you can call me whatever you like."

Liens was indifferent and too lazy to tell her his real name, to avoid having to explain why his name didn't match the [Adventurer's Certificate].

"Mr. Heier, please forgive my ignorance; you look quite young."

"Although Korlot provided some information about you, this matter is very important, so could I ask you to release the restraint on your elements and display your elemental reactions?"

Elsa cautiously requested Liens, fearing that her display of distrust might anger Liens and thus extinguish everyone's hope.

"Of course."

Liens released the suppression on the elements within his body, allowing his elemental reactions to show.

Looking at the pure green light and the active Wind Elements around Liens, Elsa completely let go of her worries.

"Thank you for your understanding, and thank you again for your assistance."

"When we first sought help from over there, we hoped that more Extraordinary Ones would come, but receiving your message two days ago truly surprised us greatly."

"With your help, we can finally evacuate from this war-torn land."

Elsa once again solemnly expressed her gratitude to Liens.

"Can you tell me about the general situation right now?"

Liens did not dwell on Elsa's words of gratitude, but directly inquired about the current state of affairs.

Although he had learned some information from Lottie and the city gate guards, one was far away in Korlot, and the other was of low status and knew little, plus their positions were different.

Therefore, he still needed to learn more from Elsa, the person in charge of the Kara City Adventurers' Association, so that his understanding of Kara City's current situation would be more complete and clear.

Upon hearing this, Elsa organized her thoughts and began to explain to Liens in detail.

"So, now the Adventurers' Association faces two difficulties in evacuating from Kara City."

"First, neither of the two factions allows the Adventurers' Association to lead nearly ten thousand civilians out of Kara City."

"Because no matter which side wins, they will need enough people to support the city's operation, and the riots have already caused many people to die or flee Kara City."

"If the Adventurers' Association leads more people away, it will incite more civilians still hiding in the city's corners to choose to flee."

"For the noble faction, those who did not choose to rebel are good citizens, the foundation for maintaining their ruling power."

"And for the rebel faction, the association's departure might affect their internal stability, as after the failure of their concerted effort to defeat the noble faction, discord has already appeared among the rebel groups composed of multiple forces."

"Second, the dangers outside the city."

"The environment outside the city is now more dangerous than before, and with the current manpower and combat strength of the Adventurers' Association, they cannot lead so many civilians through the wilderness to a new location safely."

Liens summarized.

"Yes, currently the association's barely viable combat strength consists of only five Extraordinary Ones and some Adventurers who stayed to help."

"Even I am not the original person in charge of the association; I am only temporarily filling in for President Benjamin and the others because of my strength as an Extraordinary One."

"Compared to those troublesome administrative duties, fighting monsters feels much easier."

Elsa showed a troubled expression, clearly having encountered many difficulties in handling official duties.

"Does the association have any information on the Extraordinary Ones of the two factions?"

Liens continued to ask.

"The association has some general information on the noble faction's Extraordinary Ones, but not much is known about the many Extraordinary Ones who suddenly appeared on the rebel side."

"We guess they probably all became Extraordinary Ones by utilizing the power of the 'God of Absolute Fairness'."

"There are some relevant documents on the table; would you like me to get them for you to look at?"

Elsa's actions were faster than her words; without waiting for Liens's reply, she had already picked up the documents from the desk and handed them to Liens.

Liens took the documents and began to read them. The first page of the documents was about the head of the Glenbagen Family, the current Earl of Glennbergen—Bard Glenbagen.

Although there were no photos in the documents, he recognized at a glance that this Earl of Glennbergen was the old man who had single-handedly defeated him in the Instance .

The content of the documents was not extensive, so Liens quickly finished reading them, and a question arose in his mind.

How had the rebel faction managed to resist the noble faction until now? It even seemed like they were evenly matched.
