System vs Rebirth

Chapter 491 Destinations

Noel and Rose waved their hands as they saw off Dimitri. After giving them a lot of options, Dimitri finally left, heading straight to the Ezenholm Family.

Meanwhile, Rose asked with some doubts in her heart. ”By the way, since Iʼm going with you this time, I think I can hear about the plan, right?”

”Yeah.” Noel nodded. ”I donʼt know how long our vacation will be, but I have a few destinations in mind. Weʼll build an itinerary after getting confirmation from Paul. What do you think?”

”I donʼt have a problem.” Rose nodded. ”I can get some information about the place first.”

”Alright then.” Noel thought for a moment, listing everything in his head to make sure he didnʼt miss a single place.

Lelelei Fort.

Silica Valley.

Demon Banner Armyʼs Headquarters.

”These three are the primary destinations,” said Noel while explaining the history behind them. ”In Lelelei Fort, I need to defeat the Fire Bird Demon, which can strengthen my body. I need it, especially when Iʼm acting as Iadre instead of Noel.

”As for the Silica Valley, I still need to do something for the Water Lord. Though, itʼs mostly because I want him to owe me a bigger favor, which will be useful later.

”And seeing how the situation has become so dangerous, especially in the Tower Association, Iʼm afraid I have to meet him to talk about his plan. Iʼm pretty sure that the Water Lord has been secretly working on the investigation, so getting information from him is good enough.

”As for the Demon Banner Armyʼs Headquarters, I donʼt think I have to explain it to you. Thatʼs where weʼre going to meet Felix anyway.”

”I see. Itʼs understandable.” Rose nodded with a serious expression. She didnʼt have any objection to the destination since the reason made some sense.

Noel didnʼt plan to only strengthen his ability. But he also wanted to have a strong influence that spread in the entire kingdom. This was the only way for him to be safe from the royal family.

After hearing Roseʼs agreement, Noel added, ”Iʼm also planning to visit your village.”

”Huh? My village?” Rose was startled. She misunderstood Noelʼs intention.

She thought Noel was interested in her and wanted to do this to impress her, but before she could say something, Noel added, ”Youʼre my subordinate now. And after exacting your revenge, itʼs better to visit your hometown to settle everything left.”

”!!!” The misunderstanding was solved in an instant. Rose even felt overwhelmed since Noel thought about her when she told him she wanted to follow him not long ago.

”Thank you.” Rose bowed her head. It just reinforced the loyalty in her heart, knowing that Noel was someone who took care of his subordinates well.

Noel smiled. ”Iʼm planning to go to one more place, but itʼs still not decided. Do you have any places you want to visit?”

”Hmm…” Rose looked down with a serious expression. She looked like she was thinking with her life on the line. In the end, she suggested a single place. ”If you wish to get stronger, I think there is one place you might want to visit. Itʼs located not far from Tamworth, so you can visit the person he implied while youʼre at it.”

”Interesting. What kind of place is that?”

”The townʼs name is registered as Styxcanva. But the town is known for its other name, Spirit Paradise.

”The town is located near the border. According to the rumor, the town has everything you need about Spirits. There are many establishments that can help you regarding your Spirits and they even work together with the Tower Association to find out about the new way to use your Spirits. I think we can go there to find some new references to get stronger.”

”Thatʼs… a quite good idea.” Noel nodded, satisfied. ”Alright. Letʼs go with these destinations. If we carefully make our schedule, I believe we can go to all these destinations within three to four months. If we get more days off, then we can find another destination.”

”Understood.”

With these destinations in mind, Noel and Rose finally returned to the city. Rose showed Noel around the town so that he understood the cityʼs layout.

The city had been thoroughly planned as Noel could find the perfect place for a health center and market.

The people didnʼt need to walk for too long and waste too much time traveling just to get to their destination. Even the upper-class families werenʼt that far from the market, stopping them from complaining.

Noel couldnʼt help but try to remember the placement. This information might be useful when he started governing his familyʼs territory.

So, he took note of the layout. He wanted his city to be as good as possible.

Now that he thought about it, his father might want him to experience the world first before taking control of the family. This way, Noel would understand a lot of things.

He had to work a lot with commoners to know what they thought about the noble. He had to see a lot of nobles to see how they governed their territories.

There were simply too many things to learn. This might be the first time he felt grateful that he was deprived of his status as the Ardagan Familyʼs young master.

Instead of getting stuck in the mansion with mountains of papers, Noel could see, feel, and taste what life was all about.

Rose noticed the change in his expression and couldnʼt help but feel curious. She had asked him about it, but the latter chose to keep it to himself for the time being.

And Rose respected that decision since there was a boundary that she couldnʼt cross.

After Noel felt satisfied, they finally returned to their house to get some rest. It seemed Paul had finished the negotiation as he had gathered all the people in the living room, waiting for them.

”You two must have got some fun in the town. But for now, you two need to sit so that I can inform everyone about the holiday.”
