Tristan Lynch looked troubled.
The others looked just as troubled.
"Miss Zephyra, Lornwood Base is no place for a person to live."
Corisande said.
"Well, that’s a problem."
Nina Jacobs’s slender fingers tapped slowly on the tabletop.
"What about the others?" she asked.
According to Mirelle Keller, there were over sixty Superpower Users here.
"It’s like this. A couple of days ago, we used a little scheme to retrieve a pretty strong Water Element Superpower User. Achilles Renner just left with some men."
Tristan Lynch explained.
"Oh? A scheme?"
Nina Jacobs narrowed her eyes.
Tristan Lynch seemed a bit smug as he said, "Not far from here, there’s a place called Pyralia. We had an agreement with a Water Element Superpower User there,
but she ended up being imprisoned by someone. As you know, it’s really hard to find a Water Element Superpower User in all of Keldorn right now,
so we lured the surrounding zombies over. Thanks to that, the Water Element Superpower User was able to escape."
"So that’s how it was. You’re all quite capable, then."
Nina Jacobs was telling the truth.
It sounded like these people truly dared to think and act. Gathering thirty Water Element Superpower Users in just over a month was no small feat.
As for the Water Element Superpower User Tristan Lynch mentioned, that was Mirelle Keller, who had arrived this morning.
This was also part of her and Mirelle Keller’s plan.
If she couldn’t get information about the other outpost here, she could still rely on Mirelle Keller’s side.
"Heh heh, in Keldorn, as long as you have one Water Element Superpower User, the rest is easy. There will always be people willing to trade their lives and supplies for water."
"But this is also thanks to Achilles Renner. I heard he and Magnus York are good friends. You two must know each other, right?"
Tristan Lynch asked.
"I don’t."
Nina Jacobs replied.
Tristan Lynch was a little surprised, but he quickly showed his understanding. "Miss Zephyra, what is your Superpower?"
"Me? Fire and Earth Dual System."
As Nina Jacobs spoke, a ball of Superpower Fire appeared in her left hand, and a Stone Spike formed in her right.
Surprise and delight appeared on the faces of Tristan Lynch and his men.
"It seems you’re one of the organization’s new rising stars."
They all knew that the organization always prioritized recruiting Dual Element Superpower Users and granted them special privileges.
This Zephyra must have joined the organization not long ago, yet she was able to take Magnus York’s place. It turned out she was a Dual Element Superpower User.
But Nina Jacobs just snorted coldly. "All I was told was that you, the vanguard team, would have handled all matters here."
"Now it sounds like you’ve left me with a total mess."
Her tone was tinged with displeasure. "How many people from the organization are left?"
"There are... still..."
"Including us, there are fifteen..."
As soon as Tristan Lynch finished speaking, he felt a sudden chill between his eyebrows.
A Stone Spike had appeared before his forehead in the blink of an eye.
Nina Jacobs’s sharp voice cut in. "Are you joking with me?"
The others at his side seemed to be terrified by the sight.
They hadn’t even seen when the Stone Spike had appeared.
"Miss Zephyra, besides those fifteen, we’ve also gathered over fifty local people here in Keldorn."
"If you need people, Miss Zephyra, they are also at your disposal."
Another man named Lachlan hurriedly replied.
Only then did Nina Jacobs withdraw the Stone Spike.
"I was wondering what kind of great assignment I’d been given. No wonder Magnus York and Alistair White refused it so decisively."
Nina Jacobs said coldly.
The men didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly.
’This Zephyra might be new, but her aura is way too powerful, isn’t it?’
Meanwhile, Cordelia and the others could see that these men no longer had any doubts about their identities.
For a moment, even they had been drawn into the performance.
"Forget it. Since I’m already here... didn’t you say there was another location?"
Nina Jacobs asked.
Tristan Lynch looked hesitant. "The road to the outpost isn’t very safe. Achilles Renner usually leads the way."
"Why don’t you all rest here for two days? We can set off together once Achilles Renner returns with his men."
’Achilles Renner again.’
