System vs Rebirth

Chapter 1300 Coming

”So, this is the Golden Dawn City?!” Stella raised her head as the city came into full view the moment she entered the gate.

A loud trumpet echoed from the side, startling her. When she turned around, she could actually see the rumored train had just taken off. It carried a lot of people and items to the point where it looked so ridiculous to a normal person.

”Thatʼs the rumored train?! Whoa?” She blinked a few times.

”It does seem that Noel has built this city into such a splendid city.” Ben smirked. ”Everything looks new… like a fantasy land.”

”I know, right?” Zion nodded. ”Should we go straight to the mansion? No, wait. How about going to the mansion by using… Whatʼs the name again? The one that is said to be the public transport?”

”The bus? I know that. How about using it to go to the mansion? I heard itʼs free. Thatʼs the reason so many people are going around the city. No, itʼs even more bustling than other cities of the same size. After all, they can go around the town without cost and it doesnʼt take too long.” Ben nodded in agreement.

”I donʼt really want to use it.” Jonathan sighed, still looking as gloomy as ever.

”You canʼt escape.” Stella smirked. ”Letʼs go to the mansion. We have to meet Rose first. Itʼs been a few years since we last saw her. I wonder if she is doing well… Nathan is not too harsh on her, right?

”No. Since he stole her from us, he should have given her a high position.” Stella crossed her arms.

Paul was silent the whole time. He was just mesmerized after seeing this city. Whether it was the atmosphere or the technology, he was just mind blown, never expecting for such a city to be able to exist.

Clara, on the other hand, said, ”If any of you are going to mention the word ʼretireʼ just because you want to have a good time in this city, donʼt expect me to show mercy.”

”…” Paul and the others froze for a second. Her cold tone had become scarier. They all nodded their heads furiously.

Clara was definitely not pleased when Rose was taken away from her. In addition, Nathan also quit, which caused the zero squad to experience some hardship.

In the end, all of them were asking around for the bus and eventually found it, taking the bus to reach the mansion of the Ardagan family.

”Mhmm?” Sandra noticed they had a visitor outside. Even though she hadnʼt awakened her spirit, she had absorbed a lot of demon crystals so that her spiritual energy wouldnʼt lose against a spirit wielder.

So, she sped up and reached the main entrance in just two seconds.

”What is going on?” Sandra asked the guards while approaching this group of people.

”Hello. Weʼre from the Demon Relief Squad. Weʼre the former teammates of Marquis Ardagan and Rose…”

”Oh?!” Sandra hadnʼt heard anything about them visiting, so she asked, ”Do you have an appointment prior?”

”Do we need one? We were invited here, though.” Paul explained.

”Well, the lord hasnʼt returned yet. May I know who invited you?”

”Rose.”

Sandra nodded. ”In that case, please allow me to check it with the person in question.”

”Sure.” Paul waved his hand, watching Sandra move quickly.

Stella blinked a few times as she couldnʼt help but feel impressed. ”That girl is… a spirit wielder, isnʼt she?”

”Yeah. Her spiritual energy reserve doesnʼt lose to that of a spirit wielder. And she is still that young…” Paul nodded. ”While she might not be able to utilize her power properly, she has good basics, especially that footwork. Donʼt you notice it?”

”Notice what?” Stella raised her eyebrows.

Jonathan sighed. ”Her footsteps donʼt make noises. Itʼs as if she is a ghost.”

”What? Really?” Stella didnʼt expect that such a skilled person was actually a maid in this place.

Clara sighed as she was able to see through everything. ”She must be Dimitriʼs disciple.”

”Dimitri?”

”Ah! Our kingdom and our Demon Banner Armyʼs best assassin.”

It didnʼt take too long for Rose to come out running.

”Everyone! Itʼs been a while.” Rose waved her hand.

”Rose!” Stella waved back and hurriedly snuggled into her arms. ”Itʼs really been a while. Are you doing fine here? Has Noel mistreated you? What kind of work are you doing here? Does he not give you a high position when he literally stole you from us?”

Rose chuckled. ”Everything is fine. Noel has never mistreated me. I guess I should formally introduce myself again.

”Iʼm Rose, one of the Ardagan familyʼs twelve pillars, in charge of inner management. Iʼm also Marquis Ardaganʼs secretary.” Rose politely bowed.

”Oh! But arenʼt you tired? That sounds like a lot of work.” Stella looked impressed. She never expected that Rose would become one of the main pillars of the family, even though she had been taking care of Noel as his secretary.

”Not really. Do you forget my ability?” Rose raised her hand, forming a document with her illusion.

”Ah!”

Rose chuckled. ”Unlike you guys, I donʼt really have to write everything, especially ones that arenʼt confirmed yet. I can just use my illusion to forge them, which takes less time and stamina. Once I get the confirmation, I can write everything down once. Besides, we have a team to handle the work, so Iʼm not really that busy. In fact, most of the time, Iʼm working as the secretary.”

”Is that so? Well, it looks like youʼre living well. Thatʼs all that matters.” Stella chuckled.

”Right? Itʼs good to see you doing well, Rose.” Paul nodded.

While the others warmed up to Rose, only Clara remained serious. In fact, Clara seemed to have been on her mind the moment she entered the city.

”Rose…”

”Yes? Is there something wrong, Captain Clara?”

Clara looked around while asking, ”I donʼt know. Your city is just giving me a creepy vibe. Itʼs as if weʼre being monitored, but I canʼt sense them completely. Is there someone strong protecting the city?”

”I donʼt know.” Rose shook her head. ”Well, how about coming inside? There are a lot of things to catch up on.”

Before they could agree, Sandra interrupted them and whispered to Rose.

Roseʼs expression turned grim all of a sudden.

After all, Sandra said, ”The Tower Associationʼs elders have arrived.”
