"My father asked me to oversee all affairs of Elisium City."
Upon hearing the news from the young man who ascended the mountain, Noah couldn't help but cheer.
"That's great news!"
"What's so great about it? Do you know how many people are in Elisium City now?"
The young man wore a worried expression.
"How many?"
Noah, who hadn't been down from the mountain since the Dark Territory invasion, asked.
"The permanent population has already exceeded 1.1 million, with about fifty thousand transient merchants and adventurers, not counting some slaves."
"That's too vague. Can't it be more specific?"
Noah was not satisfied with such figures.
"It's already good enough to estimate. These numbers were even deduced from the collected population and entry taxes. The part that's missing can't be calculated at all."
Tidel sighed,
"Now, for a city of this scale to be handed over to me as the Governor, even if it's temporary, it's a huge challenge."
