System vs Rebirth

Chapter 1338: Return

Noel spent the whole day talking about everything he had experienced with his parents.

It was truly an atrocious journey for Noel, one where he could die with just a single misstep. However, that journey was also the one that shaped him.

Anna didnʼt want to disturb them, so she went around the base, trying to learn whatever they were doing. As the lady of the house, no one really said anything to her. In fact, Silvester or Raven accompanied her most of the time.

The next day, Noel and Anna finally bid their farewell to Leysha and Luke. Although it was just a short time, Noel was already satisfied.

On their way back, Anna couldnʼt help but ask, ”Noel. I think I should go directly to the Moon Templeʼs headquarters. We have sent a message to Layla regarding our intention to create a charity organization, right?”

”Yes.” Noel nodded.

”So, Iʼm thinking since we donʼt have a lot of time to be away from our territory like this, why not utilize it more efficiently? I can negotiate with the Moon Temple by myself while you can take care of the inspection of the airship.

”It shouldnʼt take too long for the inspection, right? And what do you think? Should you bring the airship directly to their headquarters? This way, we can impress them and make the negotiation easier?”

Noel looked down, contemplating. ”I think thatʼs alright. I originally wanted both of us to get there together, but they will probably panic if we do that without telling them anything.

”Besides, we have the rings to communicate. If itʼs time for me to put on a show, you should give four inductions to the ring. At that time, I will bring the airship that I plan to station not far from there to go directly to the city for them to see. Howʼs that?”

Annaʼs eyes flashed. ”Hahaha. Thatʼs a good idea. We can definitely surprise them.”

They had given a signal to each other by using the rings for a long time. Although Noel was still dissatisfied because he thought he could create a language by using the signal, his linguistic ability wasnʼt at that level. And it wasnʼt like a new language was so easy to be created just like that.

Hence, they could only use it whenever they agreed on something before it.

However, both of them had agreed to leave the first three inductions constant. If they only saw the ring glowing one time, it meant they wanted to meet each other.

If the rings shone two times, it meant the other was in a certain predicament, but they didnʼt need to worry because the situation was still under control.

Last but not least, the moment the rings released three inductions, no matter what they were currently doing, they had to drop their matters and head straight to the other.

And this time, they thought about putting on a performance to impress the Moon Temple. Layla would have probably agreed as long as they gave them 120,000 gold coins. After all, according to his father, the Moon Temple didnʼt have that much funds to operate.

After paying for their people, they only had about 30,000-40,000 gold coins every month. That was why Noelʼs help would definitely be appreciated.

”Yeah. Letʼs do it that way,” Noel finally agreed. ”Also, once weʼre back, you should consult Dimitri and Charlotte about the charity organization. Oh, Balott too. I donʼt know if Balott handled the money for this organization or not back then, but he should have been aware of this and read a few things.”

”I understand.” Anna nodded. ”Still, if we put on this performance, wonʼt it be detrimental to us? Or maybe they can use it to their advantage?”

Noel shook his head. ”I have received the reply from the Greenwood Kingdom, so weʼre free to promote it in any way.

”Besides, to promote it, we should make a grand impact. Although it means we have to show it in the Greenwood Kingdom due to the Moon Temple, I will ask the people working there to bring some ships to Golden Dawn City as well. This way, the first sight of the airship will be in our city.

”Although I wonʼt board that flight, it wonʼt matter too much. They might think theyʼre able to use it, but our destination is not the Greenwood Kingdom. Itʼs the Moon Temple, which just happens to be in the Greenwood Kingdom.

”As such, the moment we announce the cooperation between the Ardagan family and the Moon Temple, it will remove all the paths for them to take advantage of it. Besides, they should have realized by now that they need a concrete plan if they somehow want to take us by surprise.

”Thatʼs why they will be more careful and not release anything recklessly this time.

”On the other hand, once the people know about the airship, there will definitely be a lot of them trying to get their hands on it. After all, the airship is much more useful.

”With the airship, we finally have three transportation systems. For low consumption of spiritual energy and a high amount of goods but low speed, people will think the boat will be better. For mid-consumption and a lot of goods but high speed, the train is the way.

”Last but not least, the airship has high consumption and can take fewer goods, but its strength is in its speed. It can disregard terrain and easily reach its destination. Hence, all three of them wonʼt be in conflict.

”Iʼm planning to use all of them to strengthen the north, whether itʼs to bring supplies, messages, or even soldiers. Weʼre not going to lose again to the demons.

”Although I donʼt see it myself, I donʼt plan to repeat the same result as our previous lives.” Noel smiled, looking Anna in the eye. ”Weʼll win it this time. You and me.”

A big smile appeared on Annaʼs face. ”Definitely. Weʼll win.”
