System vs Rebirth

Chapter 1139: Vivi Shervina

ʼSaved? This is the first time I have seen something like this. What is going on?ʼ Noel had a lot of questions on his mind. If Ardagan was here, he might be able to answer that question.

Unfortunately, he needed to discover the truth himself.

On the other hand, Incetta could see the person clearly. ”W-Who?”

”Oh? You can see me? So that means youʼre my descendant?” The woman smirked.

”Descendant?” Incetta was stunned, not knowing how to react. She lowered her vision and saw Noel and Anna having the same reaction. It was clear that they were aware of the person before her, so there was no need to hide the fact that she could see the woman.

”Yep! The fact that you can call forth the wisp of soul Iʼve left behind means that youʼre my descendant. And one that is very similar to me. Still…” She stopped for a moment and turned to the two people. ”Are they bullying my descendant? No, wait.

Look who we have here…”

She floated toward Anna, specifically her sword. ”There is someone like me in this sword? But this isnʼt done exceptionally well, or her figure can come out like mine. Then again, no one can control the soul as well as he did. And this person… why do I feel like I have some personal attachment to him?”

She stood in front of Noel, observing him. ”Black hair, black eyes. Wait a minute. Inside of his body, I can see runes. Not only on his body, but there are also multiple runes in his items and clothes. Donʼt tell me, he is my bossʼ descendant.

Is he from the Ardagan family?”

”Ardagan?” Incetta gasped. It was a name she heard recently.

”So you know me?” Noel furrowed his eyebrows as if he only reacted to Incettaʼs remark.

”So he is really…” The woman smiled. ”There must be some misunderstandings between the three of you. For now, tell him this. Brat, who will become impotent, stop this at once and bring us to a place to talk peacefully.”

Incetta dropped her jaw. If the person in front of her came from the famous Ardagan family, saying those words would definitely get her killed.

”What? Just say it!”

Incetta didnʼt know what to do, but if she didnʼt do anything, the weapon would be taken and she would die. Hence, Incetta couldnʼt help but repeat her words. ”Brat, who will become impotent, stop this at once and bring us to a place to talk peacefully.”

”What did you say?” Anna gritted her teeth.

On the other hand, Noel shuddered at the thought that appeared right after hearing those words.

It was the price he paid when he was born into the Ardagan family. But no one was supposed to know about it.

In other words, the only possible explanation was that the person called ʼVivi Shervinaʼ was the source of that information.

His eyes darted to the empty air where Vivi was supposed to be. He asked, ”Are you… related to my ancestor?”

”Look at this guy, he is calmer and smarter than his ancestor.” Vivi smirked.

Incetta looked up before repeating the words that Vivi wanted to convey. ”Alex, Sam, or whatever youʼre calling him right now, had ten commandants in the past. The first commandant was his brother-in-law. The second commandant was his wife. I was the sixth commandant. I donʼt need to say my name because you can see my name, right?”

”!!!” That confirmed it. She knew about Ardagan. His ancestor must have been extremely close to her, to the point where he shared this secret. ”Vivi Shervina.”

Vivi smiled.

After knowing about this personʼs identity, Noelʼs attitude charged abruptly. He let go of Incettaʼs hands, took a step back, and politely introduced himself. ”I apologize for my rude behavior before. Iʼm the current head of the Ardagan family, Noel. This is my wife, Anna Stargaze. There might be some misunderstandings between us, so allow me to invite you to the inn where weʼre currently staying.”

Noel and Anna released their spiritual energy a little bit and erased their presence. They took Incetta and returned to the carriage at the fastest speed.

After that, Noel personally drove the carriage to show his sincerity.

Anna was quite shocked to find out about the relationship between this Vivi and Noelʼs ancestor. In fact, if she was the same person, she must know about that fact.

Anna couldnʼt help but test her. ”I apologize for being rude, but thereʼs one thing I need to confirm.”

”Anna.” Noel tried to warn her, but Incetta had said, ”What is it?”

”If you are truly someone close to Noelʼs ancestor, you must know the only person who is capable of turning you this way, right?”

Incetta listened to Vivi for a moment before saying, ”His brother-in-law, the sword saint. It seems that you have found someone who has the same spirit as the sword saint, but his mastery is still too low. If not, the person residing in your sword will be able to achieve something like this.”

”!!!” Anna shuddered. Not only did she answer her, but she also pointed out her secret. With this, there was no doubt anymore. ”I apologize for doubting you.”

Vivi smirked before looking at her descendant. ”Youʼre lucky that you managed to awaken me. It looks like you were about to attack them earlier. Why?”

”I…” Incetta looked down. ”I felt a connection to the sword since I was young. But a lot of things happened, and the sword ended up in an auction. I tried to buy it with all the wealth my father left behind, but it was still not enough.”

”So you tried to attack him.” Vivi looked at the sword on his waist. She couldnʼt help but mutter inwardly, ʼIsnʼt Ardagan supposed to be his primary weapon? Where is Ardagan? The fact that he is able to see me means Ardagan is involved. Nevertheless…ʼ

Vivi sighed. ”Still, what the fuck are you thinking? To think that you dare to attack two spirit transcendence experts.”

”Spirit transcendence?” Incetta gasped.

”!!!” Both Noel and Anna were alarmed since they had been hiding their strength. Then again, the guardian could see through their strength, so even though she was only a clone, Vivi must be able to see that as well.

Vivi shook her head helplessly after seeing Noel and Annaʼs reactions. ”Either way, apologize to them first. Also, donʼt forget to introduce yourself. Not that itʼs required since they must have known your name, but itʼs a basic courtesy.”

”Y-Yes!” Incetta was still confused, but she followed Viviʼs instructions. ”I apologize for attacking you. And Iʼd like to formally introduce myself. My name is Incetta Sherverna.”

Before Noel and Anna could reply, Vivi was the first to react. ”What the fuck? Why is your name Sherverna? Did you motherfuckers adopt my name at all?”

”What the fuck? Motherfuckers? What do they mean?” Incetta panicked, not expecting that Vivi would be so angry.

”For real? You donʼt even understand those words? This generation is so weak. They donʼt even know a little curse word. Iʼm so disappointed.” Vivi shook her head helplessly. ”Whatever.

Just answer my question!”

”We adopt your name. The family has never changed its name since its creation.”

”Shit! Those idiots must have messed it up. My family name is Shervina, not Sherverna!”

”Sherveana?” She tilted her head in confusion, wondering if she pronounced it right.

”Fuck! So this is where the problem is? My thick accent is the one messing up my family name? Now I finally understand why Alex always got annoyed whenever people called him Sam instead of Simeon.” Vivi let out a long sigh. ”Whatever. Change the familyʼs name right now!

Change it to Shervina!”

Incetta scratched the back of her head. ”I donʼt think itʼs possible right now.”

From her expression, Vivi knew that something big must have happened. Before going to that point, she chose to turn her attention to Noel. ”In that case, ask him why he bought this sword. Where is Ardagan?”

Incetta immediately conveyed it to Noel.

Noel looked a bit hesitant and chose not to tell the whole truth. ”Because of a reason, Iʼm unable to wield Ardagan right now. Even using his element is not possible. Iʼm not sure for how long. Thatʼs why I need a good sword for the time being.”

”I see. How much did it cost?”

”370,000 gold coins.”

”How much did you have?” This time, the question was directed at Incetta.

”I have 220,000 gold coins.”

”150,000 gold coins, huh?” Vivi thought for a moment. ”Whatʼs the annual salary for a spirit grandmaster?”

”Depending on their job, it will vary from 5,000 to 10,000 coins.”

Vivi asked, ”In that case, use your body to pay for the difference. Work for him for ten years to get this sword. Besides, working for him should benefit you a lot. After that, you will be strong enough to do whatever you want.”

”But…” Vivi looked down. Working for a spirit transcendence expert would definitely benefit her a lot, especially if Noel went all the way to guide him. Even if she worked in this kingdom, she would need more than ten years to get all the gold coins. But there was one problem. ”Iʼm still a spirit master.”

”Just tell him this…” Vivi explained it.

After some hesitation, Incetta finally explained, ”Mhmmm. Madam Vivi said that I would work for you for ten years. During that time, youʼll provide everything, including the runes, and still give me an annual salary of two thousand gold coins. In addition, I will be the one wielding this sword spear.”

”Sword spear?” Noel looked surprised.

Incetta followed the instruction and infused the spiritual energy into the spear. Suddenly, the thick blade split up, turning wider like that of a spear. The handle also got extended to match the spearʼs length.

”What? This is a sword and a spear at the same time?” Anna gasped.

”In exchange for all those conditions, with her guidance, Iʼll become a spirit grandmaster in one month, as well as mastering the true Sword and Spear Duality.”

”Youʼre making this hard for me. I donʼt have a weapon right now.” Noel smiled wryly.

”Thereʼs no way you donʼt have a substitute. Youʼre more like that shrewd princess. I know youʼre aiming for something; just spill it.”

Vivi was so close to his ancestor that she was able to see through him. Noel sighed. ”In a few months, Iʼm planning to go on a sea expedition. It has never been successful before.”

”You want me to be a guide?”

”I have already known the direction.”

”Where?”

”10 degrees to the south from the east.”

”Oh. I think there is indeed land in that direction. In that case, you must want me to tell you more about the sea.”

”Indeed.” Noel admitted it without hesitation.

”Well, I know a lot about the sea. I retire to the Zaecuria Kingdom because I love the sea. More importantly, I can show this abs and body of mine.” Vivi had a smug smile on her face as she lifted her big breasts… not that anyone other than Incetta could see it though.

”Anyway, I have learned to even operate ships, from a small wooden boat to a gigantic vessel that can carry more than 200,000 tons of cargo. I should be able to do it.”

Noel was surprised about this so-called ship that could carry that amount of cargo. Even his train could only carry a hundred tons at once.

Noel nodded with a serious expression. ”I understand. In that case, Iʼll agree to your condition. But are you sure it will be alright with you, Miss Incetta?”

”Itʼs your choice. I personally donʼt care about the family that has messed up with my own name. Even if you plan to go back to the Zaecuria Kingdom, I wonʼt mind. No, in fact, you should create a new family. Make sure itʼs called Shervina, not Sherverna whatsoever!”

Incetta smiled wryly. It was true that she didnʼt have any plans. She thought about amassing achievements in the military, but this path might be more secured. Besides, her ancestor mentioned that she once worked for Noelʼs ancestor in the past.

Incetta hurriedly went to her knees and lowered her head. ”Incetta Sherverna… No, Incetta Shervina greets my master, Noel Ardagan, and Lady Anna Stargaze.”
