System vs Rebirth

Two days later.

Noel had finally arrived at the gate according to the arrangement. As one would expect from the bustling city, there were at least a thousand people that participated in this expedition.

He could easily see through people's strengths. However, he did notice a few Spirit Masters like him. Unfortunately, there wasn't a single Spirit Grandmaster, which was quite disappointing.

The only strong person was Legolaz. But like what he predicted two days ago, Legolaz was actually accompanying someone. That young man seemed to be the second prince because when Noel saw his name, it was quite unique.

Name: Ramuer Relaiz.

Affection: Good (20/100)

Description: He is interested in you.

The fact that his affection was not neutral meant Legolaz had told him everything about Noel's strength.

Noel didn't know whether this was a good sign or not. For the time being, he doubted that someone would recognize his true face. So, there was no risk of him being exposed as the author of the rune book, which would definitely pique the greed of those two people.

Legolaz seemed to have noticed his presence and turned his head around, trying to find him. As soon as he located Noel, Legolaz seemed to be saying a few things to Ramuer before disappearing.

Noel wasn't surprised when Legolaz suddenly appeared before him.

"How is your condition?" Legolaz asked.

"I'm in my best condition, ready for the expedition," Noel answered politely.

However, both of them were glaring at each other for a moment. It was clear that Legolaz was planning to bring Noel to the second prince. But Noel was ready to reject him. After all, if the second prince wanted to meet him, he should have done so previously.

If Legolaz forced him in any case, it would just make it look like the second prince was looking down on Noel. This wasn't something they should do to someone as talented as Noel.

After a few seconds, Legolaz finally said, "You should get in line. We'll be leaving in thirty minutes. There will be a lot of demons around the ruin, so I hope that you can help fight them."

"Of course. As long as I'm participating in this expedition, I'll do my best to ensure the success of the expedition." Noel assured him without telling him that the reason for his participation was the same as their goal. Though, Noel knew more about the item. If he could get it before them, it would be great. It wasn't like they could use it to form a second oasis.
