A mechanical, inorganic voice echoed in his mind.

Liens didn't respond directly to Elthorp, but instead dismissed the others first: "Larry, we no longer need to trouble these divine envoys. They can return to their training."

Larry sensed the profound will suddenly emanating from the divine envoys before him and knew that Liens likely had something to discuss with the Old God.

So, he nodded and led the divine envoys away from the area.

As they moved slightly away from their previous position, Larry found that he couldn't find Liens's trace again, and even the memory of what had just happened became a bit blurry.

If he was like this, how much more so were the divine envoys?

One of the divine envoys stepped forward and asked Larry, "Officer Larry, do you have any arrangements for us to gather here?"

The other divine envoys also looked at Larry with confusion, not understanding why Larry had suddenly called them out when their training was going so well, and the team here consisted of familiar divine envoys.

Judging by their expressions, they clearly seemed to have forgotten what had just happened.

"What a terrifying method."

Larry sighed inwardly, then shook his head at the divine envoys, indicating that everything was fine and they could return to their training.

Although he had received the 'Master's Gift' bestowed by Liens, the amount of information in that gift was simply too much. Like everyone else, he mostly focused on remembering the parts he needed.

As for the other content, he only skimmed it, much like reading a masterpiece where you often only remember what interests you.

Therefore, he couldn't immediately recall what method Liens had used.

After a brief moment of emotion, Larry stopped thinking about it and refocused on his work. His task was to train soldiers, enhancing the discipline and combat capabilities of the Rebel Army soldiers.

After all, the Rebel Army soldiers were mostly ordinary civilians, so their quality naturally couldn't compare to the kingdom's elite soldiers.

Just like those divine envoys, who suddenly gained Extraordinary power, jumping from untrained ordinary people to Extraordinary Ones, their combat effectiveness was imaginable; it was difficult for them to match normal Extraordinary Ones.

They might even be soloed by some elite warriors who hadn't yet become Extraordinary Ones.

Therefore, to compensate for the Rebel Army soldiers' shortcomings, unless there was a battle, the Rebel Army would gather for training almost every day, with veterans leading new recruits, gradually integrating the army.

In training, the 'military formation' was not only an important strategic weapon but also an excellent training method.

Using the 'military formation' as a requirement could better teach soldiers to cooperate. When facing strong opponents, multiple people could achieve excellent coordination and fight together, leveraging the Rebel Army's numerical advantage.

This prevented them from being scattered like a rabble.

It was also by relying on this training method that even when fighting head-on against the kingdom's elite forces, the Rebel Army would not suffer excessive casualties.

They could achieve a casualty ratio of three to one, or even two to one, against the kingdom's elite forces.

For the Rebel Army, which was originally composed of civilians and generally equipped, this was already an excellent achievement; even the guards of ordinary cities didn't have such a record.

It could be said that the Rebel Army was gradually becoming a qualified regular army, and a special regular army with powerful weapons.

No matter where, this force was not to be underestimated.

Getting back to the point.

After Larry and the others had left, Liens explained his purpose to Elthorp: "I'm here to introduce the person beside me to you. With her strength, she should be able to get a promise from you, right?"

Liens pointed to Nora, and Nora stepped forward at the appropriate moment, placing one hand on her chest and bowing slightly to greet Elthorp: "Nora Amelia, greetings to you."

Although evil gods are now almost universally reviled, they were once deities, and in Nora's view, showing some basic respect was appropriate.

"Has Liens told you my requirements?"

Elthorp looked at Nora and asked.

Nora nodded upon hearing this.

On the way there, Liens had briefly explained it to her.

The general idea was that since she had already joined the Rebel Army, as long as she contributed to the Rebel Army, she would be assisting Elthorp's ritual. In that case, why not ask him for some benefits?

Even if it was just to ask for a favor, you still had to let others know you existed, right?

Nora felt that Liens made sense.

Although she had decided to help the Rebel Army after seeing the good and enthusiastic lives of the civilians under their rule, she was still a Saint. If Liens could get benefits, why couldn't she?

It wasn't that she truly cared about this small amount, but rather that she felt it was foolish not to take what was offered.

"What do you want?"

Elthorp continued to ask.

He didn't mind Liens bringing people to ask him for benefits; in fact, the more such behavior, the better.

After all, if a 'Saint' like Nora could be brought to work with just a little benefit, he wouldn't mind sacrificing some interests at all.

Even his sect in its heyday didn't have many powerhouses of this level, let alone now.

If the Rebel Army could have a few more like this, he wouldn't have to worry about the ritual. He could just sweep through everything, and he wouldn't need to act himself no matter what trouble arose.

Hearing this, Nora was about to ask Elthorp for a favor.

Unlike Liens, who had the trouble of the origin of Life, she mostly sought things out herself when she wanted something. She preferred the interesting process of pursuit over the result.

So, she planned to establish a good relationship with this Old God, who might transform into a Legend, on behalf of the elves.

However, just as Nora was about to speak, Elthorp posed another question: "You are an elves. Do you know the price of the elves' longevity?"

Upon hearing this, Nora's expression instantly became serious, and even Liens, who was beside her, became serious as well.

The information revealed by this question was significant.

"Your elves' Legends should know, but judging by your appearance, they haven't passed that information down."

"Your strength should be among the high-ranking members of the elves, and besides what they are unwilling to reveal, there shouldn't be much in the elves that someone at your level cannot know."

"How about it? Is it feasible to exchange this secret for your assistance?"

Elthorp continued.

"Deal."

Nora didn't hesitate much and nodded, agreeing to the exchange.

"Equivalent exchange, contract signed."

"I need you to protect the Rebel Army. Do your best; you don't need to risk your Life. And in the end, whether I succeed or not, I will explain the truth to you."

As the words fell, several lines of text condensed in the air. Upon closer inspection, it was indeed a standard contract format.

Nora carefully read the content of the contract, then used magic to sign her name on the void contract.

Unlike the verbal agreement with Liens, Nora's contract with Elthorp was a true contract with a certain binding effect, which Elthorp made to put Nora at ease in her efforts.

Perhaps concerned that Liens, who was beside them, might mind, Elthorp asked Liens again after the contract was successfully signed: "Do you need to sign a formal contract?"

"No, I don't. Compared to a written contract, I believe more in cause and effect and destiny."

Liens shook his head, indicating his refusal.

"Destiny…"

Elthorp looked at Liens with deep meaning in his eyes. When Liens spoke, he actually felt a faint ripple of destiny on him.

Whether this represented 'Destiny's' special attention or indicated that Liens's cognitive reach had already touched the realm of destiny, it once again proved Liens's extraordinariness.

This discovery made him raise Liens's position even higher.
