System vs Rebirth

The Valley Master was looking at the silhouettes of the people who had just left his castle.

"It's been a while since someone managed to pique my interest. To think there is someone who can see through that plan in just a glance…" The Valley Master narrowed his eyes. "Noel Ardagan, huh…"
