System vs Rebirth

Chapter 1564: Strategic Weapon

”Boom!”

The Executioner Rune let out a burst, decimating everything within a two-hundred-meter radius.

”Hoh?” Noel crossed his arms, feeling amused.

”This is the advanced rune card, Master. One rune card will not be enough right now. We donʼt have the technology to deal with such small and detailed work. It might be possible in the future, but not now.

”Hence, I think about combining several rune cards to form this complicated advanced rune. And this is the product.”

Noel nodded in understanding. He could probably see the little details, but the technology was indeed not enough to craft the rune symbol within a single rune card.

He patted Tristanʼs head. ”Youʼve worked hard.”

”Hehehe. If itʼs Master, Iʼm sure you can come up with the same solution.”

”Even though I have runes, Iʼm following the path of a spirit user. Your path is with the rune. Even if I can do the same, you will be walking in front of me. Iʼm proud of you. Go and become a pioneer on this path.”

Tristanʼs eyes brightened. ”Yes, Master! Thank you very much.”

Tristan felt proud and so happy that he could finally be useful to his master. Normally, even when he was taking care of the mansion, he could only do things like Noel wanted to do.

The rune card allowed him to take a step forward in front of his master. Even though their paths were different, it didnʼt change the fact that he could finally get ahead.

He had always wanted to thank Noel all this time. Without him, he might still be a slave. No, he might even die. Sandra wouldnʼt be with him.

Thanks to that meeting, Noel picked him up. Just like what he said back then, he would be raised to become someone who was above the nobles.

Noel explained, ”With this rune card, we can adopt a new tactic. By allowing people to get this rune card, we will be able to cause massive damage just by slipping one spy into the enemy ranks.

”Obviously, this kind of power is not something that can be contained. If people know this, they will think that someday, this card will appear in front of them and blow them into pieces. You understand what I mean, right?”

Tristanʼs expression turned grim. ”Your disciple is too short-sighted… People can even enter our city and cause massive destruction…”

”That is right.”

Tristan thought for a moment before saying, ”Master. Please allow me to present to you this rune card. Iʼm willing to hand over the rune cards to the Ardagan family.”

”!!!” Rose and Elaine widened their eyes.

”If the battleship is considered a high-level weapon, this rune card will be a strategic weapon.” Noel nodded. ”It looks like there is indeed a need to regulate things before proceeding further. In addition, we might have to research an item that can detect runes.

”From the looks of it, this rune card requires a superior demon crystal to function. With the density of the spiritual energy, it might be possible to detect the spiritual energy instead of the rune itself.

”But we can only wait until the item is developed.” Noel turned to Elaine. ”Can you do it?”

”Yes.” Elaine nodded.

”During this period, this advanced rune card will become a forbidden weapon.” Noel couldnʼt help but remember what his great ancestor said.

Milinda mentioned that the previous civilization had weapons that could destroy the world if they really used them. And it looked like this rune card was of that weapon or it might be just a prototype of that weapon in their civilization.

In the future, there might be a day when humans would possess this weapon again. And he might not be there to help them.

Noel couldnʼt help but wonder whether his choice in introducing the runes was the correct one or not. This might be the reason Alexander Ardagan gave the downgraded version of the runes, the spirit enchantment, as a bride price to the Greenwood Kingdom.

”Tristan. How many can you make?” Noel asked.

”It was hard. I probably needed two to three weeks just to make one.”

”Try to make as many as you can.” Noel nodded. If it took Tristan this long, the others might take much longer. In addition, the complexity of this rune card significantly increased, not to mention restructuring the runes so that it could form the complete rune.

It could be said that no one could probably copy it for the next five to ten years. He had enough time to prepare for the regulation and other things.

And this would be a strategic weapon that could crush the demonʼs plan.

”Understood.” Tristan nodded with a serious expression. ”Master. If you donʼt mind, may I ask something?”

”Hmm? What is it?”

”Can you please grant me a marriage?”

”!!!” Noel widened his eyes in surprise. Even Elaine and Rose didnʼt expect this kind of request. ”With Sandra?”

”Yes.”

Noel realized Tristanʼs intention. If Tristan wanted to, no one would object to his marriage to Sandra.

However, people would think Sandra was unqualified.

Tristan personally had received a lot of marriage offers. In the past, such a thing was not something he needed to consider because Noel was the one handling it.

But after becoming a lord himself, he definitely couldnʼt stop the nobles from giving such an offer.

Their demands were pretty much the same. They wanted their noble daughters to be his wives.

If Noel granted the marriage personally, no one would object to Sandraʼs position as his legal wife. This could show his sincerity to Sandra.

No one would object to the marriage granted by the grand duke after all.

”It looks like my disciple has finally understood the politics.”

”To be honest, itʼs really annoying, but itʼs something I have to face one day. I donʼt regret coming this far.” Tristan smiled.

Noel patted Tristanʼs head and said, ”You are currently like a tree in the middle of a field, getting blown by a strong wind. Your trunk might have become robust, and your roots might be deep, but you donʼt have any support. As your master, Iʼm obliged to prepare you until you can finally withstand the wind.

”I shall grant you the marriage. From today onward, Sandra will be your legal wife. Her name shall be Sandra Clestine. Treat her well, my disciple.”

”Thank you, Master.”
