System vs Rebirth

Chapter 1329  Inheritance Items

Once Duke Lorelei got what he wanted, he finally took his leave, bringing the peace back to the room.

”Next should be…” Noel thought for a moment before turning to Livia. ”Livia.”

”Yes, Master?”

”Good job of taking care of the duke. I donʼt think you will need it, but…” Noel wrote down a few things. ”Take this with you. I am thinking about revealing the airship project very soon.

”With the sea expedition being successful, Iʼm sure that the Greenwood Kingdom wants some glory as well. In one month, once the hype for the sea expedition is going down, weʼll be announcing the airship. This way, the Greenwood Kingdom can finally use it as well.

”From the looks of it, the progress has gone very well, right?” Noel turned to Rose.

”Yes. Although there are still not enough units for the entire kingdom, they have managed to build almost 50 of them. As per the agreement, we will be taking 40% of them while the Greenwood Kingdom will take 60% of the airship.

”The production will continue, but with the usage of airships, transporting goods will become much easier, especially to remote places.

”From what Iʼve heard, the laws have been passed on the highest level, so I believe they should be delighted to hear the news.”

Noel nodded. ”Take this.”

Livia understood Noelʼs intention. Although Livia couldnʼt go home like Elaine, the fact that she received this agreement showed her accomplishment.

In fact, if she were the one bringing this letter home, she would be considered a potential successor to the throne. And such, she might be assassinated on the way there by other princes or princesses.

However, by giving this agreement to her, she could dispatch anyone and show her accomplishment for the country.

It was probably the best way for her to contribute to the kingdom like she always wanted to, while not taking part in the succession battle.

”Thank you very much, Master.”

Noel nodded and turned to Jasmine. ”Jasmine. Thank you for your hard work so far. How is the progress with the farmland?”

”Everything is going smoothly. Our current yield is close to whatʼs required for the entire territory. Weʼre planning for an expansion so as to keep up with the growth of the territory and population.”

”Well, I have just another expansion of the territory to the north. Once the airship can be used, we can take advantage of it to survey our land and bring in supplies much more easily, considering the area is still not developed enough for the train to come in.

”Work together with Douglas and Balott for the expansion. Howard will also take care of the protection. Our land is fertile enough to even export food, right?”

Jasmine nodded. ”Yes. With my method and other things, I can assure you that the land will remain fertile for a few hundred years.”

Noel nodded. ”In that case, proceed with the expansion.”

”Understood.”

”Howard. Any problems with the current situation?”

Howard shook his head. ”None for the time being. However, our force has been stretched quite thin for all the protections.”

Noel nodded. ”In that case, you can make the cities that have been established recruit their own soldiers.”

”While this is possible, I canʼt train them all.”

Noel raised one finger. ”Give a mission to your trusted subordinates about teaching them. Or you can pick some knights who are close to elite knights and tell them that teaching people can give them enough contribution or bring them to the elite knights. Iʼm sure a lot of people would like to participate in it.

”I will leave the quality control directly to you.”

Howard contemplated for a few seconds. Noelʼs way was indeed possible. Hence, he nodded his head. ”Understood. Iʼll make the arrangement.”

”In that case, only Harley left… Harley. What do you have for me?” Noel asked.

Harley raised two fingers. ”There are two things you might need to know. First, there is a great shift in the west. Because of the Atracaeca Kingdomʼs interruption, we are able to move around the west a bit easier.

”Iʼm not sure about it yet, but there are rumors about people from the central government trying to recruit the lords around there.”

Noel looked down, falling into deep thought. He glanced at the door as though he was recalling something.

”Thereʼs no problem with that. We can ignore them. As long as the people in the north remain united, they can grab all the nobles they want. Besides, itʼs not the royal family doing that, so you donʼt have to worry about it.”

”Understood. I will still keep track of their movement, but Iʼll tell my subordinates to lower the danger level.” Harley acknowledged the order. ”As for the second news. Itʼs about the Tower Association.

”The Magic Lordʼs location is still unknown. We have checked the Silica Valley, where the Water Lord stayed, as well as the Raintard, where the tower of the Magic Lord was built, but none of them were present.

”They might still be hiding for a moment, but we canʼt track them down.

”On the other hand, the Tower Association is desperately searching for them. Most likely, theyʼre trying to kill them. What are we going to do?”

”Ignore them. Those two are capable enough to flee. The Tower Association will also be quite occupied with the Fire and Light Lords. Instead of them, I want you to focus on tracking the Third Prince.

”Still, you should be extra careful. Weʼre talking about a spirit transcendence here. As long as thereʼs a potential danger, immediately retreat. A spirit transcendenceʼs sense is much sharper than a spirit grandmasterʼs, so Iʼm warning you now.”

”Understood. Iʼll tell the girls about it.”

”In that case, weʼre done here.” Noel stood up. ”Although there are a few things I want to say, Iʼll leave it for tomorrow. Good work for the last six weeks.”

”Thank you for your hard work, my lord (Master).” All of them stood up and lowered their heads.

Noel smiled and exited the room. Although the Ardagan familyʼs matter was important, there was one thing that he was curious about. Noel muttered inwardly, ʼLetʼs go to my room, Ardagan. Youʼre going to tell me all those inheritance items.”
