"President Lavie is interfering too much in the internal affairs of our town. Someone, take her away—and capture the others."

Kaufman gave the order directly, and the hunters, who were eyeing Ravi with eager eyes, immediately surrounded her with ropes in their hands. They planned to kidnap Ravi directly. Although this method was a bit rough, as long as Ravi was not hurt, the guild and the mayor would not say anything more.

After all, the guild has no obligation to protect adventurers - if adventurers are injured or die due to conflicts with others, it is not the guild's responsibility.

That's the business of the Inquisition.

The boundaries of this kind of thing are inherently vague, and Kaufman knows it very well.

"What are you doing?! Don't come over here!"

Lavie's scolding didn't make the hunters back off. Kaufman smiled sinisterly, "Ms. Lavie, forget your wild dreams of reviving the guild. The guild belongs to you and only you. That's what the old mayor meant. Do you understand? We don't need troublesome, nosy adventurers. All you need to do is honestly provide funding."

"You despicable bastards!"

Lavie glared at Kaufman with gritted teeth. After thinking for a moment, she quickly said to Aisha, "Fasha, get out of here!"

Lavi urged. She knew Kaufman's strength; if he attacked, she wouldn't be able to stop him. Even though "Fasha" was a Silver Medal Adventurer, Lavi didn't think she could compare to Kaufman, especially since he was outnumbered.

Tricia stood by and watched all this without saying a word from beginning to end. Charlie hesitated to speak and looked at Aisha.

"Elsa, are we leaving?"

Charlie asked.

Although she asked this, Charlie actually felt that Aisha would definitely not turn a blind eye to such a thing.

Aisha also saw what Charlie was thinking, and she thought about it.

"We need this carriage."

"You go first. Your life is more important than the carriage." Lavi was a little anxious. She didn't understand the meaning of Elsa's words, but hurriedly persuaded her: "You saw it when you came in - those hanged people. Kaufman and his guys are bastards who kill without blinking an eye. Don't be stupid..."

As Lavie finished speaking, a hunter came to her.

"Haha, Ms. Lavie, you're going too far. We just want to maintain the stability of the town, so sometimes we have to use some extreme measures, don't we?"

The hunter narrowed his eyes maliciously, and Lavie's eyes darkened and she glared at him fiercely.

The hunter laughed obscenely instead: "Yoho, quite fierce, I like women like you, in bed I must..."

The man was halfway through his words when Lavie's cold eyes met his. She suddenly grabbed the hunter's rope, and at the same time, magic gathered in her hands. With swift and decisive movements, she slapped the hunter in the chest.

bang——

The hunter was completely unable to react and was thrown backwards, hitting the wall. A large cloud of dust immediately rose up, covering his figure.

Lavie's palm nearly knocked the air out of his lungs, and he lay on the ground unable to move for a long time.

Lavie was someone who had taught herself combat magic. The guild had many books on magic, and she would often study some magic on her own in her spare time. Although she was still a long way from becoming a great magician, she was more than capable of dealing with these weak guys.

However, Lavie took action, and this scene was like a fuse that ignited the hunters' anger.

"You really don't know what's good for you..." Kaufman's facial muscles twitched, and he snorted coldly: "Then don't blame me for being rude!"

Kaufman sheathed his blade and charged directly at Lavie. His steps were steady and heavy, like the sound of a bell. He was completely different from the half-baked hunter from before. Kaufman was once a genuine silver medal adventurer, and now he was even stronger. As a hunter, he gained much more than others on each hunt, and he could also deal with some troublesome monsters on his own.

Lavie's eyes grew serious, and she quickly chanted a spell, but Kaufman was much faster than her.

Kaufman didn't intend to hurt Lavie. He didn't use any weapons, but grabbed Lavie directly. His speed was so fast that Lavie didn't even have a chance to dodge.

But just when Kaufman's rough, calloused hands were about to pinch Ravi's shoulders, a pair of slender hands arrived first, pulled Ravi back, and clamped Kaufman's arms.

All this happened in a flash. Kaufman frowned slightly and met Aisha's golden eyes.

"It's very rude of you to hit a woman."

Elsa's tone was calm, and the strength in her hands was neither light nor heavy, but just right to block Kaufman.

Ravi bumped into Aisha's arms, was stunned by what she realized belatedly, and quickly left Aisha's chest.

Tricia sighed beside her, while Charlie walked forward with concern, took Ravi's hand and brought her behind her.

"Leave this to 'Fasha'."

Charlie smiled at Lavi.

This scene also stunned the surrounding hunters. Elsa was a whole head shorter than Kaufman and looked so weak, but she seemed to be on par with Kaufman?

Kaufman then shifted his gaze and took a closer look at Elsa.

"When did you have the right to speak here?"

With a cold snort, Kaufman stepped firmly on the ground, and his whole body shook. A huge force gathered and transmitted from every muscle. The force from his waist suddenly bounced out like a tightened spring. With a loud bang, the dust was stirred up, and Kaufman's feet pressed the gravel ground into a dent. The force was transmitted through his body to his arms, and his muscles swelled inch by inch. A huge force suddenly shook from his arms and hit Elsa.

bang——

There was another loud bang, but this time it was very dull and depressing.

Normally, someone who took this blow from him would be crippled if not dead, but Kaufman saw that Elsa was standing there motionless, looking calm and composed, still holding his arm, as if the huge force just now had disappeared out of thin air.

Kaufman was stunned.

Aisha asked, "You people are so brazen in your disregard for the laws of the Empire. Will the Inquisition turn a blind eye?"

Kaufman's expression finally changed. He took a deep breath and looked at Elsa vigilantly. This time, he had to face up to Elsa's strength.

There aren't many people who can withstand his power.

"The Inquisition? You expect a place like this to have something like that? Haha, how naive." Kaufman's facial muscles trembled slightly. He secretly gathered his strength and his hoarse voice deepened. "Here, I am the Inquisitor!"

He roared, his knees sank down suddenly, the dust exploded under his feet, and he swung his other hand towards Elsa's neck with a punch. His fingers were like hooks, veins bulged, and his move was a killing move.

But Elsa smiled.

"No? Then what are you so proud of?"

As she spoke, Elsa raised her hand and nonchalantly blocked Kaufman's sneak attack. Kaufman was stunned again. Looking at the smile on Elsa's face, he suddenly had a bad premonition.

At this moment, he felt a sharp pain in his arm, and Kaufman realized that Elsa's slender fingers had even been embedded in his arm armor.

Looking at the dents left by fingers on the fine steel arm armor, Kaufman's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

At this time, Aisha smiled and said, "Your name is Kaufman, right? - Then, as a law-abiding adventurer and citizen of the Empire, I challenge you to a duel."

As Aisha finished speaking, a turbid light suddenly filled Kaufman's eyes, and the focus in his eyes involuntarily diffused.

"Okay... I... accept the duel..."

He muttered in a dream, turned his head woodenly, and said to the hunters beside him: "You... are... witnesses..."

After saying this, Kaufman trembled all over, and the turbidity in his eyes disappeared completely.

"I...wait! What did I just say!?"

At this moment, the composure on his face had completely disappeared. He stared at Elsa in horror, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

"You said you accepted the duel."

After saying that, without waiting for Kaufman to react, Elsa directly clamped his arm and swung his hand to throw him upside down. Before Kaufman could even scream, he was thrown up and then hit the ground hard.

Bang.

Dust was flying. Elsa controlled the force so that Kaufman was not seriously injured, but the blow was definitely not too light. Kaufman had a tooth knocked out and was completely dazed.

Kaufman looked up groggily, his face filled with anger.

"You... you actually dared to attack me... do you know..."

Before he could finish his words, Aisha interrupted him, "Now it's a duel, I advise you to cut the crap—By the way, according to the rules of the duel, if you can't stand it anymore, you can ask me to stop."

Aisha said, and before Kaufman could say anything, Aisha grabbed his arm and swung it up and down again.

Bang.

The dust was swept away, revealing the stone slabs beneath the gravel and sand, and faint cracks had already appeared on the stone slabs.

Kaufman was howling in pain with blood flowing from his mouth and nose. He was hit hard all over his body and his entire arm was dislocated by Elsa. Even a strong man like him could not withstand it.

The hunters and Lavie standing by were stunned.

The powerful and arrogant Kaufman was as powerless as a chick in front of Elsa.

……

------------

314. I hope he can repent

At the beginning, Kaufman tried every means to threaten Elsa. He thought Elsa would give in, but after being thrown down several times by Elsa, he quickly surrendered.

Elsa did not continue to use force, but decided to stop while she was ahead and let the hunters take the unconscious Kaufman away.

"It's so refreshing to see these bastards get a good beating!" Ravi was grinning from ear to ear, totally unlike a girl her age. "Normally, he's the only one who gets to beat up others, but today he finally got caught. Hahahaha, it's so satisfying! - I wish I could feel this relieved every day."

"He will."

Tricia smiled meaningfully and said.

Elsa didn't kill Kaufman because his crime was not punishable by death, at least on the surface, but that didn't mean Elsa didn't want to make him suffer a little more - so when Kaufman was carried away by the hunters, Tricia cast a small curse on Kaufman, which was a "Life Spell Forbidden" curse, which prevented the person being cast from recovering from injuries through magic potions and holy light magic during the curse period, and could only rely on the body's self-healing to slowly recover.

Simply put, Kaufman, who was knocked unconscious by Elsa, could not recover quickly with external forces, and he would have to stay in bed for at least two months - in such a small place, no one could lift the curse set by Tricia.

"I hope he can repent..."

Aisha said helplessly.

"Don't worry, I'll go to the town hall later and have them lock Kaufman up! ...Though those guys at the town hall will probably just do a perfunctory job, Kaufman is one of theirs—oh, Fasha, you'd better leave as soon as possible. I'm worried that the people at the town hall will cause trouble for you."

Lavi said seriously.

Punishment with force is not the best solution after all, but in a place like this, there is no better choice. Compared with Kaufman, the town itself is the crux of the problem - Lindao Town has been rotten from the inside.

"I'll keep an eye on it, and we'll be gone before dark."

"Really..." A hint of regret flashed across Lavie's eyes for a moment, but it was quickly wiped away and replaced with a smile. "Anyway, thank you very much, Miss Fasha, you allowed me to see a wonderful show."

Ravi said, looking at Aisha again - after a short time together, she became more and more curious about Aisha and her group.

"Well, let's clean up the carriage a little bit. I'll take care of that."

She used water magic to wash the carriage, and then used magic to steam it dry. After a while, the carriage, which had been left there for who knows how long, finally became presentable.

It was unknown what this carriage was used for in the past. After washing, its original appearance was revealed. The paint on it looked very high-end, without any signs of mold or insect bites. There was also a seal printed on it, the meaning of which was unknown.

Aisha thanked Lavi, "Thank you very much. I wonder if these magic cores can cover the cost of the carriage."

“I told you it’s free.”

"Please accept it, otherwise it will only make me feel uneasy."

Elsa still insisted on giving the magic core to Lavie, and seeing this, Lavie no longer refused.

"Oh, by the way, this carriage has been sitting for a long time. Some parts might need some reinforcement. It would be terrible if something went wrong midway. The guild has ropes and rivets ready-made."

Lavi added, looking back at Aisha and blinking.

"But, Ms. Fasha, I'm very curious... How could someone as powerful as you come to a place like ours?"

There are neither any rare monsters nor rich minerals here, and it is far away from the bustling city. Lavie has not seen outsiders come here for a long time.

"We were going to the North, but our carriage broke down on the way—you know, sometimes accidents always come suddenly, and my employer needs a new carriage to transport his goods."

Aisha smiled and said something half true and half false.

In fact, the space equipment on Elsa's legs can fully accommodate those goods. After all, the space magic stone is also a strategic-level equipment in Dammas. But precisely because of this, Elsa is not stupid enough to show off something that is completely inconsistent with the identity of an adventurer.

Most adventurers' space equipment is only a few fists in size, and can only hold a few magic stones or two or three scrolls.

"So that's it."

Lavie didn't seem to suspect anything, or perhaps she just asked casually and didn't expect an answer.

"You didn't kill him?"

At this time, an old voice appeared. It was the old nun from the monastery.

"Sister Butler."

Lavie greeted the old nun called Butler, and they seemed to be quite familiar with each other.

Aisha had a favorable impression of the church members. She saluted with the common etiquette among church members and shook her head.

"No, I just taught them some lessons."

"That's a very sensible choice, little girl. You're outsiders, so it's best to proceed with caution... or you'll get into trouble—Kaufman is backed by the town hall, so try not to confront them head-on here."
