System vs Rebirth

After making a decision with Vivi, Noel proceeded to tell her about what he found in his ancestor's secret stash as well as the fact that there were two demon kings they had to kill.

"What do you think?" Noel asked.

Anna fell into deep thought. "I don't think it changes my opinion."

"As I expected, huh?" Noel let out a long sigh.

"You should have known what we should do, right?"

"Yeah. Focusing the resource on me to at least make me a Spirit King. Only after that will we focus on you. This way, even if you are not quick enough, I can still somehow repel the enemies and wait for you to become a Spirit King before we deal with them together."

"And there's nothing wrong with that." Anna nodded in agreement.

Noel scratched the back of his head. "There is one problem though. By focusing the resource on me, it also means the scarcity will increase, especially for the ancient demon crystals. The only way for us to get those crystals is…"

Both Noel and Anna knew the same thing. "Killing the Ancient Demons that the Supreme Devil Organization brings during the final assault. In other words, we focus on killing them and let me absorb as many crystals as possible. In order to do that, we will have to do it quickly, or even rely on the help of the people from the Beast Kingdom."

"That's the only way." Noel agreed.

"Yeah. And just leave the Wheel of Destiny to me. I'll try to use it if I can. There are a lot of things I can do with it, such as finding ancient demons or something. But the problem is that I'm not sure if the demons are aware of this or not. And if they have been aware this whole time, why are they not finding it?"

Noel crossed his arms. "Or they might have been searching for it, but they haven't found it."

"That's also possible." Anna nodded. "After all, the ring is hidden in that Treasury. The Wheel of Fortune is in the Greenwood Kingdom, the Martial Headband is unknown, and the Gem of Immortality might be in their hands. They have been trying to find a way to get Ardagan."

Noel nodded in agreement. From how they tried to find the secret about Ardagan to how they tried to kill him, it was clear that the demons knew Ardagan to a certain extent. They were probably trying to know some secrets so that they could decide whether they could get Ardagan and wield him or if they had to destroy it.

Noel's expression turned serious. "If one of the divine items is in this faraway land, which happens to cross the sea… How did it even reach that place in the first place?"Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

"Hmm?" Anna squinted her eyes. The only way to go to that foreign land would be crossing the sea. And if they wanted to cross the sea, they would probably need Vivi. If the fourth commandant truly went all the way to such a place, Vivi should have known about it.

Anna couldn't help but furrow her eyebrows. "Is Vivi the traitor?"

"No. The Affection Medal has shown that she is not a problem. There might be other experts who have also crossed the sea, but we simply don't know about them. If not, why would the Zaecuria Kingdom venture into the sea even after all those failures?"

"!!!" Anna widened her eyes. "Are you saying that the Zaecuria Kingdom might have some secrets or records about this?"

"Yes. And Vivi doesn't like politics. There is a high chance the royal family might know about this." Noel's expression turned serious. "If we can find a record about him, the Martial Headband might be in that location. In other words, the one that the Supreme Devil Organization has the Gem of Immortality."

"Just knowing that fact alone will make planning much easier."

"Indeed."

"How long do we need to wait until the ship is ready?"

"It should be ready in three to four months."

Anna contemplated. "Should I go there and find the record?"

Noel shook his head. "This time, I want you to remain in the city. I will be the one going."

"Huh? You said you couldn't leave the city."

"That's true, but the biggest reason is that the enemies know they won't be able to do anything while I'm here."

"Ah. Is that why you build such a reputation? If the genius Noel who is able to see through plans remains in this territory, it's better to target other places rather than sending the people to their deaths after their plans were seen through by you."

"It's kind of embarrassing when you say it that way." Noel chuckled.

"But the fact you're leaving now means you want to bait them?"

"Yes. After knowing the Magic Lord's intention, I know that the Tower Association will be locked for a moment. The royal family has also suffered huge losses. In other words, the only one that can move right now is…"

"The Supreme Devil Organization, no, wait…" Anna gasped. "The Third Prince's faction?!"

Noel smirked.

That was right. The Third Prince had been silent this whole time. While they were preoccupied with the entire mess, the Third Prince didn't do anything. It was either because he didn't want to make Noel his enemy or he was building up his force.

The Supreme Devil Organization had lost a lot, but they could still make their move if they involved the demons.

But with Noel leaving this place, the Third Prince would definitely make his move. He must weaken Noel so that no one remains strong. He wanted to control everything after all of this was over after all.

It could be said Noel leaving this city was bait. There was a possibility that the Third Prince would remain silent, but it also meant the development could still proceed at high speed. Explore more stories at m,v l'-NovelFire.net

With the Demon Banner Army playing their parts perfectly, this was the only way to proceed. Once they weakened the third prince's faction, they could go on an expedition without worrying about anything.

This was when a sly smile appeared on Noel's face.
