System vs Rebirth-Novel

Noel frowned. "Expedition, huh…"

The expedition was truly important since the drug could be researched and used to increase everyone's strength level. This way, the expansion of humanity would become faster and the humans might have the chance to reclaim all the lands the demons had taken over.

With this thought in mind, Noel continued reading the next part.

"The expedition must be related to a drug store. I can't completely explain it, but there should be many new drugs appearing sooner or later."

"However, you have to remember one thing about the drug. It seems that there will be some drugs that get stolen from this place. The Supreme Devil Organization will get it as well, improving the strength of its leaders."

"I don't want to let that happen, but it's not possible to prevent it. After all, everyone wants to get a piece of the pie. The Third Prince, the Royal Family, the Tower Association, and even the Demon Banner Army… To satisfy that condition, they are going to let them steal some of it… though as a result, the Supreme Devil Organization  will end up receiving some drugs as well."

"Since I am not a part of the Demon Relief Squad anymore, I have to say this to you… The Demon Relief Zero Squad was supposed to be eliminated in the past. I wouldn't say the details, but you could say that we were supposed to join the current First Squad."

"And due to that, the Demon Relief Squad got involved in this expedition. So, I think your squad will receive a reward… probably some of the drugs. I know some good alchemists who work in this kind of job, so can I ask you a favor? I want you to bring a pink-colored pill to me. The shape is a circle and there is a slight gap in the middle. I'm sure you can easily find it if it's presented to you."

"If you can do it, I will do my best to repay you. I can't say a lot of things about this pill, but it will surely help us in the future."

"Last but not least, I'm talking about the solution to the current situation. Since we have been targeted by the Supreme Devil Organization, it's better if we can take advantage of that situation."

"If possible, we have to speed up our progress a bit more… Within eighteen months, we have to reach the Spirit Grandmaster. And you shall become a noble. That's the only way for us to survive the current problem."

"That's all I can say. I'm sorry that I can't go a bit more specific. But you should know about our bet. If you want to know more about the details, you have to beat me."

After reading the letter, Noel couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows. There was a lot of information he had to sort out.

On the one hand, the problems about the marquis had been solved even though there were some additional problems that lingered around him. On the other hand, whether it was the marquis or this expedition, everything was linked to the Supreme Devil Organization.

"One and a half years to become a Spirit Grandmaster, huh… Well, it's already within my plan. Though, I don't know if I can succeed or not since I have to maintain a good foundation while absorbing the Demon Crystals."

"At the same time, there are already a lot of details Anna's written here. It's clear that she knows more than I do, but I don't know how she possesses all this information. I guess she has a clairvoyance or something."

"But the fact that she can't see the outcome after the change, it seems that the clairvoyance is not that omnipotent."

"Still, becoming a noble is easier said than done. I have finished the first step, but if I want to become a noble, I have to reveal that I'm Noel Ardagan."

"The Ardagan Family is hated by the Royal Family and after that execution, it's hard to believe in me. That's why the Royal Family is going to be more chaotic. And even though there are a few people that will vouch for me, it's still not enough. Even I don't want to swear my loyalty to the Royal Family after all that…"

Noel narrowed his eyes, wondering what he should do about rebuilding the Ardagan Family.

"Well, I will think about this matter later. Right now, I have to focus on the task…" Noel thought for a moment. "Still, I have been receiving a lot of things from her. All these pieces of information might be able to save me one day."

"I don't know about the pill, but I'll do my best. Then again, I can't let her make me owe her for all this information. I wonder what I can do for her so that she ends up owing me instead of the other way around."

Noel pinched the bridge of his nose. The pill actually piqued his interest. He didn't know how Anna knew about it, but the fact that she requested him meant the pill would be extremely useful in the future.

They would surely use it together, so he wasn't really bothered with the request.

"Hmm… What have I got or encountered ever since I became a Knight in the Demon Banner Army?" Noel recounted all the past events. "The kids, the mercenary group of the independent women, the twin merchants, their father… Wait a minute, their father?"

Noel just remembered that he had managed to make a Master Blacksmith to become his vassal. In exchange, he could become the first Rune Blacksmith.

"I guess this is the only way…" Noel took a deep breath. He finally had some goals in mind.

He started assigning tasks to the people under him. He had to make sure that he took care of his security as well.

After all, there was one thing that bothered him from the letter. Noel took another glance at that sentence.

"That's the only way for us to survive the current problem."
