System vs Rebirth

Noel muttered inwardly, 'Another '???' reward. This is the fourth mission I have encountered such a reward. It seems that every time I have this kind of reward, the reward will always be related to the result of the mission completion.'

'In other words, it feels like Ardagan is withholding the reward and giving the reward depending on my circumstances. Like Rose's Revenge, if I don't make such a ruckus, I don't think Rose's affection will become that deep. The same applies to the Sword Saint. If I end up having an unruly personality, he might not impart me the technique.'

Noel looked down, falling into deep thought. His guesses didn't seem to be that far from the actual answer. He might be able to use this information to receive something that suited his needs in the future. Then again, he would rarely do this since Ardagan had been supporting him to the best of his ability.

Meanwhile, the other mission piqued his interest for another reason.

Even though their relationship had gone better compared to the past, Noel still had the desire to make her owe him. This way, he would have the advantage whenever they were trying to reach an agreement.

However, Ardagan seemed to have taken Anna's kiss and their bet into consideration. By helping Anna so suddenly like this, Anna would feel a bit indebted to him. There was a chance that he would get some clues about her secret.

In addition, he would also receive a reward from Ardagan. He didn't know what this Force Control was all about, but the former reward was already enough for him to take it.

Though, there was another problem. Since Anna was having a mission in Creek Village, he didn't know how to go there.

Luckily, he remembered the possibility of Ardagan having a clairvoyant ability. It seemed that Ardagan had taken a peek into the future and knew that he would be nearby.

'Well, I can dispatch some people from the brothel to find out about this Creek Village. This way, I will have some more information before the mission starts…' Noel thought.
