System vs Rebirth

Chapter 1224: Arrival

Noel walked out of his car. This time, he was accompanied by Incetta and Vivi, who happened to be his drivers.

”How is it?” Noel asked.

”Itʼs amazing. I have never thought that a carriage could be this fast. In addition, you can actually control how fast youʼre going without caring about the durability or quality of the horse,” Incettaʼs smile widened. She was excited during the whole trip because that was the first time she was driving.

”You have almost copied the car from the previous civilization,” said Vivi. ”I guess this is more friendly to the environment since you only need to waste the demon crystals.”

”Yes. We can also use the demon crystal that has lost all of its spiritual energy. As for recharging them… Weʼre still working on it.” Noel nodded. ”And Iʼm glad that you like it, Incetta.”

Before they could continue, a group of people came toward them.

There were two people that led this group. The first one was a middle-aged man wearing a military uniform. He had multiple cuts on his face, but it just increased the fierceness of his aura. His body might not be big, but he was giving off indescribable pressure.

More importantly, the sword hanging on his waist also exuded a huge amount of spiritual energy, as he didnʼt even bother controlling it.

The second person was the woman that he had met during his previous visit, one of the guardians of the Zaecuria Kingdom, Fradania.

She grinned while saying, ”It seems you are back here.”

The rest of the group were just soldiers. At the same time, all of these soldiers were actually spirit masters.

Unlike Fradania, the man actually recognized Incetta. Unfortunately, there was one important thing he needed to do first.

He stepped forward and said, ”Welcome to the Zaecuria Kingdom, Noel Ardagan. I hope that you like the view on your way here. I am Admiral Rafael. Besides me is Guardian Fradania.”

Noel stepped forth and shook the admiralʼs hand while saying, ”I have heard one of the two admirals of the Zaecuria Kingdom. Your battle in the North River is something I have to admire.”

”Hoho. My achievement is nothing compared to the man in front of me. I canʼt even list all of your achievements before losing my voice.” He chuckled. ”Iʼve heard that youʼre going to inspect the boat and draw the runes, correct?”

”Iʼll inspect the boat today and meet your king tomorrow. Only after Iʼm done with my matter will I have the time to draw the runes. And this time, I am accompanied by…”

”Incetta Sherveana.”

”You know her?”

”Of course. Iʼve learned a lot from her grandfather.” He nodded. He then turned to Incetta and said, ”Itʼs surprising that you would join the Ardagan family. However, after listening to the situation in your family, I guess I can understand your decision. Itʼs just sad that you chose to leave the country instead of joining the army. I believe you have a talent that surpasses your grandfather.”

While ignoring Vivi, who kept saying, ʼItʼs Shervina, not Sherveana, you bastard,ʼ Incetta said, ”Iʼm well aware of my circumstances. However, the only person who reached out to me during my darkest hour was not the military, but the Ardagan family.”

Rafael only nodded and didnʼt say anything further, fully aware it would just be considered an insult to Noel.

Noel said, ”Anyway, weʼll be inspecting the ship. I hope that you can introduce me to the ship so that I know how to arrange the rune.”

”Of course.” Rafael nodded. ”Following me are the 24 main personnel that would be training the sailors. I hope you donʼt mind if they follow us.”

”I donʼt mind.”

”If thatʼs the case, please follow me. The Chief Engineer, Dealott, is waiting for you in the dock.”

”Good.” Noel agreed as Rafael guided him to the said ship.

While Noel was inspecting the ship, a lot of movements had begun in the shadow.

One of them was a shadow that entered a small room. There was only one person sitting in that room as he heard the report.

”We have confirmed that Noel Ardagan has reached the Zaecuria Kingdom, Your Highness the Third Prince. What are we planning to do?”

The Third Prince squinted his eyes. ”Such a clever move, Noel Ardagan. If you hadnʼt shown your cards previously, I would have bitten the bait right away.

”However, there is no way Noel Ardagan will leave the city without any preparation. In addition, Anna Stargaze is holding the fort. With her spirit transcendenceʼs strength, it wonʼt be impossible for them to wipe us out if we are not careful.

”However, he should know that Anna Stargaze is not as capable as him. Thatʼs why he must have set up a trap beforehand.”

The Third Prince closed his eyes, falling into deep thought. On the one hand, not doing anything would give the Ardagan family a precious time to build up their strength. On the other hand, they would have a high chance of falling into his trap if they made their move.

The Third Prince obviously understood what would happen if he also lost his force.

”What a sneaky fox. He is even more troublesome than his father.” The Third Prince looked down. ”We wonʼt make any big attack.” .net

”I understand. Iʼll tell everyone to remain on standby.”

”No. We will harass the Ardagan family in multiple locations. Before that, I want you to bring out all our scouts to infiltrate the Ardagan family, learning about their trade route and the placement of their troops.”

”Understood.” The shadow once again disappeared from the room.

The Third Prince stood up and walked to the window. ”To think that a man who I can use has ended up becoming too big for me to hold. Since youʼre going to hinder me, I wonʼt hesitate to destroy you as well, Noel Ardagan.”

The Third Prince fell silent for a moment before muttering one name. ”Luke Ardagan. What a snake.”
