System vs Rebirth

"This should be the place, right?" Anna asked while staring at the village in the distance. She couldn't see how this place was a village. Unlike any other village they had seen, this village was guarded by a tall wooden wall, protecting them in all directions.

There was even a ditch outside the wall filled with water that would hinder anything from coming in. There was only one gate leading to the village and a wooden bridge that connected it.

There were a few huge tents outside the village, which was probably their destination.

"Reinforcing the village here?" Noel narrowed his eyes.

"That's probably it. A wall and a ditch are the basic after all."

"Will that even work? I mean, the monsters near this place often find Advanced Level or even Peak Level Demons, right?"

"True. If those demons attack this village without the help of the army, they'll be useless." Anna agreed with Noel, seeing this reinforcement had no purpose.

Suddenly, a mature and gentle voice echoed in their ears, answering their doubt. "It's not as useless as you two thought. Their primary purpose is to keep the village outside Demon's sights, mostly for Low Level and Mid Level Demons. Although there are Advanced Level and Peak Level Demons around here, the majority of the demons that are roaming around are the Low and Mid Level Demons.

"So, by covering the village with a wooden wall, those demons wouldn't think there was a village in this place. And with the ditch filled with water, the demons would think this place was a lake or something, not going to bother to enter it."

"!!!" Noel and Anna hurriedly turned around because they couldn't feel this presence at all. To their surprise, the one next to them was a woman. And only Anna would recognize her in this life.

raised her eyebrows and looked at her.
