Anna and Noel continued with their exploration. As expected, there were a lot of demon remains inside the tunnel, but all their Demon Crystals had been extracted.

It proved the fact that the demons once used this place as a nest, but the Demon Banner Army had exterminated them.

Since they couldn't utilize these remains anymore, Noel decided to burn them into nothing with his Undying Fire.

After that, they continued the explorations, finding a lot of gemstones sticking out of the walls. But they didn't extract it immediately and just inspected the safety of the tunnel.

It didn't take too long for them to find the main chamber that was connected directly to the surface.

Now that they had confirmed that there were no more demons hidden inside the mountain, Noel carried Anna with his wings and flew through the main vent to come out.

Of course, Noel continued toward the post as well as the river to check the entire region. He found a lot of demons in the plain, which would be dangerous, so he marked all the spots for Anna to subjugate.

As he expected, the post where he built an outpost for a subjugation team ended up as nothing special. Sadly, Noel couldn't see through the thought of himself from the previous life.

Although it was a shame, he still continued to the next destination, which was the river.

From a single glance, it was a perfect place to create a dam and direct the water toward the city. However, the safety of the dam was extremely important, so unless his territory matured a bit more, he wouldn't even think of creating a dam.

In the end, Noel and Anna returned to the city with disappointment.

They were lucky to confirm the mine, but the other two were not so great.

As expected from a butler, Dimitri had actually been waiting for them in front of the city.

"It's great that both of you have returned…" Dimitri's expression looked troubled, causing Noel and Anna to think something was wrong.

"Did something happen?"

"Yes." Dimitri nodded with a grim expression. "Actually… we have secured the land for the mansion. But are you sure you want to build the mansion toward the north?"

"Is there something wrong with it?"

"According to Douglas, if the mansion is there, it will become the primary target of the enemy. After all, the lord of the city will require a vast amount of land to uphold their honor. Such a thing is easy to spot, so the enemies will attack the mansion first." Dimitri explained.

"That's what I have in mind. It's fine to proceed like that. In fact, if we know that the mansion will be attacked first, we can bait them and exterminate them, no?"

"You're correct, but for the lord to risk his life is…" Dimitri scratched the back of his head. He didn't mind getting attacked, but if the lord of the Ardagan Family became the bait, people would think that his subordinates were a waste. It was their job to protect their lord after all.

"I know what you're thinking, Dimitri. However, I'm making this decision with the future in my mind. Since we've received this territory, it won't be weird if we expand it toward the border. In the future, there will be another fort that will withstand the enemy's attack."

"I…" Dimitri had a hard time accepting it, but when he looked at how adamant Noel was, it seemed that he couldn't change his mind. "I understand. I'll tell Douglas to proceed."

Noel nodded while waving his hand, signaling Dimitri to continue with the
