Chapter 383 Reward

Name:System vs Rebirth Author:
Noel had been discussing the problem of the Ardagan Family. He never thought that the problem was to this extent.

His uncle alone was enough to prosecute the Ardagan Family. The Royal Family had enough reasons to suspect them.

However, they couldn't do it openly for three reasons. First, they needed the secret as well. With that secret, their strongest expert could become a Spirit King and suppress all influences in their territory.

Secondly, the Ardagan Family was the wealthiest family in the kingdom, so fighting them would pose a massive threat to them since no one could tell what Luke Ardagan would use his money for.

Last but not least, it was Luke himself. As the head of the Ardagan Family, Luke was known to be a smart and brilliant guy, whose deeds resounded across the kingdom. His good deeds gave a lot of support from the civilians, making it hard for them to make their move.

If not for the fact they supported the Third Prince, had a family member who defected to the Supreme Devil Organization, and allowed the Royal Family to act, they wouldn't fall.

In other words, the reason why the Ardagan Family fell was because they desired it, not because they were ruined by others.

Noel never thought his family was this strong. Even though it didn't look like it, his father had built the family's reputation to its peak.

There was no way he wouldn't be astonished to know everything about his family. In fact, the desire to rebuild the family became even stronger in his heart.

While they were walking toward a nearby city, Noel kept asking about all the family matters as Noel planned to learn everything from Dimitri. Of course, as someone who had been working under Luke and the Demon Banner Army, Dimitri was adept in all kinds of topics, from politics to family businesses.

Eventually, they reached the town and Noel could finally get some rest and have his wound fully treated.

Of course, due to the fact he had died, he had to wear a mask.

They went to the inn. Since Noel was injured, Dimitri chose to leave to get some medicine. "Then, I'll be back as soon as possible."

"Yes." Noel nodded with a serious expression. After Dimitri was gone, Noel immediately checked his system since he had done a lot of things.

[Mission: Help Rose's Revenge.]

[Description: Kill the Blood Berserker with whatever means.]

[Reward: ???]

[Mission: Save the Zero Squad]

[Description: The Zero Squad is going to be wiped out. Please save them.]

[Reward: Rune Mastery +1 Level, Rune Enchantment System, Hardening Rune, Softening Rune, Energy Gathering Rune.]

[Penalty: You, Anna, and all the members of the Zero Squad die.]

[Mission: Save the Silica Valley]

[Description: The Supreme Devil Organization is going to attack the Valley. Stop them.]

[Reward: Water Lord's Favor, Freezing Crystal +1 Level, Ice Infusion +1 Level.]

Noel couldn't help but smile after seeing these three missions. He had finished all of them.

'This is good. Although Dimitri helped me kill the Blood Berserker, it still counted as me helping Rose's revenge. Then, I also managed to avoid the worst-case scenario where the Zero Squad was wiped out. Last but not least, the Supreme Devil Organization has been defeated thoroughly…' Noel smiled, feeling relieved that he could finish these three missions.

Of course, he was slightly disappointed since he couldn't finish one more mission.

'I can't help the Water Lord, but it's alright for now. I have time to get the Water Lord's favor… Considering I'm planning to rebuild the family, his opinion as one of the elders of the Tower Association will help me a lot.

'And it seems that I can't get my Affection Medal yet… Well, it's a double-edged sword, so I'll prepare myself for the time being.

'Of course, let's take a look at the reward right now.' Noel frowned when he looked at Rose's mission. 'The reward is still unknown, but how can I even accept it? Ardagan?'

[You have accepted it automatically. But because it's unknown, you have to meet Rose first before knowing your reward.]

'Well, this is Rose's revenge, so I kind of understand the reason. But is there no reward coming from you?'

[It'll be revealed after you meet her again.]

'Tsk. The reward is on hold, huh. It seems I haven't understood you completely.' Noel sighed and took a look at the second mission.

'Rune Mastery +1 Level, Rune Enchantment System, Hardening Rune, Softening Rune, and Energy Gathering Rune. Although the runes themselves are stored in my mind, it's pretty hard to learn them from scratch.

'So, getting these three runes makes it easier for me to master them. And the Rune Enchantment System is like a blessing to me since I can use runes to affect an object. Even the Rune Mastery level has increased by one. This is a big reward for me since I can finally utilize my runes freely now that I'm using my second identity.

'As for the last mission… The Water Lord's favor can wait until I rebuild my family. The Freezing Crystal is a powerful ability. Although I'll use my Fire Ability as Iadre, I don't mind utilizing all of my abilities in terms of emergency. It applies to the Ice Infusion.

'That's all for the missions, I guess. Then, let's think about what I'm planning to do with Dimitri here. Of course, I'm going to get stronger, but I have to go to the Demon Relief Squad again after a month or so as Iadre.

'And from the looks of it, Rose will be informing them about my death and the rumor will spread. I feel bad fooling them like this, but I can't afford to reveal everything. Well, I'll just talk to them after going as Iadre. They'll realize it sooner or later anyway. For now, I'll just let the rumor reach the Royal Family's ears.

'As for my training, I have to improve my Fire Ability… Well, Dimitri has been chosen by my father, so I guess I can trust him. Alright. Let Dimitri decide my training schedule after he learns about my two elements. It's not like I'm telling him about my system or Ardagan.'

Noel had decided his plan for the next month.
