System vs Rebirth

While Anna was facing a new challenge, Noel had a pretty laid-back life here.

"Iadre. Can you help me here?" Rose asked while pointing at a few stacks of wood.

"Sure." Noel immediately walked to her and helped her.

The others were glancing at them, especially Paul and Jonathan.

"Do you feel like Rose has gone back to her previous state? It seems she has moved on." Paul mentioned it while observing her.

"I'm not sure about that, but she's clearly been smiling a lot recently, which is good."

"Maybe Iadre reminds her of Noel, so she becomes a big sister just like that, making sure he's alright?"

"Do you mean a substitute?"

"Something like that." Paul nodded.

"Hmm…" Jonathan observed both of them for a while before saying, "Well, I don't really care about it. They are in a win-win situation either way.

"Iadre can get a lot of benefits if Rose takes care of him. Rose can gradually move on with Iadre. So, why not?"

"Fair enough. At the very least, we've got a temporary solution. Hopefully, it'll go well in the long run." Paul agreed, hoping for the best for Rose. Iadre would be able to reach his goal sooner if he got Rose's help anyway, so he didn't care much about their relationship.

The others seemed to have the same opinion about them, believing Iadre's appearance had brightened up the group.

They didn't realize Iadre was Noel. As expected from Noel, he asked Rose to act like she hated him for a while before gradually opening up to him. This way, the others wouldn't realize about him yet.

As for when he would reveal his identity, he would wait for a bit longer when his position had been stabilized and the Third Prince began to contact him.

Everyone was also curious about Iadre's Runes, which seemed to be an improved version of Spirit Enchantment.

However, he had asked them to not reveal it for the time being. He wanted to develop it first before he would reveal these runes so that others could use them.

Of course, he planned to teach Rose about the runes as soon as possible.

Since she was the group's eye that could only monitor the situation and inform them, she would become far more useful if she could boost their abilities with the help of the rune.

And her illusion would surely help her learn the runes.

Of course, the big reason why he taught Rose was none other than the fact Rose had become his left hand.

Luckily, the group agreed and didn't tell anyone about Noel's runes. They wanted to see the improved version of the Spirit Enchantment.

Noel even promised them he would Spirit Enchant their equipment after he gained a bit more mastery, which was a big addition to the group. Everyone surely loved the Spirit Enchantment, and if they could get the better version of them, no one would reject it.

They didn't realize Noel was bribing them through that.

Nonetheless, the group had been brimming with energy since Rose had recovered and now they were on a mission for a city's restoration after a huge battle.

This fortress was made by the Demon Banner Army as a supply base to the frontline.

After dinner, Noel returned to his room. He was just about to take off his coat before noticing a letter on the table.

"Hmm?" Noel narrowed his eyes and scanned the room. Since he couldn't use his Demon Hunter Medal to sense his opponent, he still had some good perception.

Unfortunately, he couldn't find him. So, he decided to move on and open up the letter, believing Dimitri would make his move if the enemy was far too strong.

'Two hours after dusk, the best inn, the best room.'

'Such weird phrasing…' Noel narrowed his eyes. Normally, people would normally talk in a letter, not using code like this.

However, he also noticed that they used the words 'best inn' and 'best room' instead of the specific name.

There were three inns in the town and the opinions would vary depending on the people. However, he could ask the people for the best inn and gathered the majority's vote.

However, the best room was weirder. Although he could simply go to the most expensive room, the one sending the letter should have said it that way instead of using the best room.

In other words, the best inn and the best room referred to safety and a place where privacy was guaranteed.

'Interesting.' Noel thought. There were three people who would like to talk to him using this method. The first one was Anna, but because she had to do her job as an inquisitor, she was ruled out.

The second one was his father. Unfortunately, if this was all it took for them to meet, his father wouldn't have orchestrated the whole thing. That left the third person, the Third Prince.

The Third Prince had been getting involved ever since he entered the Demon Banner Army by asking the commander to take care of him. So, he might want to check whether his investment would bear fruit or not.

Because his position was sensitive, he had to do it this way to not be seen by anyone. It was already brave of him to meet Noel in this fortress.

Of course, Noel didn't believe the entire thing easily. He also prepared some escape plans in his mind if things turned out to be different.

After that, he put on his coat again and walked to the second best inn. They had good service and a fair price. But because they weren't the best, they weren't that looked upon.

So, this was a perfect place for their meeting.

Noel also didn't go to the most expensive room, which was on the top floor. Instead, he went to the second best room, which was one floor lower.

There were four rooms on this floor, so he had to carefully pick it, lest he embarrassed himself.

Surprisingly, all of them were empty except for the furthest one.

Without hesitation, Noel walked toward the door and knocked on it.
