System vs Rebirth

After some careful consideration, Noel made his decision. "I'm going."

"Young Master…" Dimitri frowned. He was worried about Noel's life, considering the place was extremely dangerous.

Noel shook his head and said, "I'm going to assemble all the best fighters I can get. At the very least, we should be able to withstand their onslaught."

"I—" Dimitri wanted to say something, but Noel immediately corrected him. "You are going to have a different mission. Your task is not to protect me, but to investigate the Plant Lord."

Dimitri was stunned because he couldn't accept this task over his young master's safety. After all, Dimitri had acknowledged Noel as his master, but because of the last test, he was still forbidden to refer to him as such. So, there was no way he could agree if his master wanted to go to a dangerous place without his protection.

"Don't worry. If everything is right, then we will have Captain Clara, Captain Shale, Captain Septa as well as the Stone Lord. What I want you to do is investigate the Plant Lord since he might be a spy from the Supreme Devil Organization. You should remember about the plants that were supposed to be extinct, right? Yeah, that mission might be related to him."

"What?!" Dimitri widened his eyes in shock. It looked like the protection was enough with four people like them. But there was no way the Plant Lord would stay still if he was indeed a spy, tilting the balance to the demon's favor.

"Well, I'm planning to find a way to meet Marquis Stargaze, my father's best friend. So, I might be able to cooperate with him, making the expedition a bit safer. But who knows if I can draw him out or not." Noel sighed.

"Although it would be good for me to investigate that person, I'm still an assassin, Young Master. I exist to kill, not to investigate. Instead of me, you should have Septa investigate the Plant Lord."
