System vs Rebirth

"So, what's going on with this town? Is there a problem that will require us to visit?" Anna asked.

"Yeah. The city has three major problems right now. First of all, before the building of our city, it was the only fort that withstood the incoming attacks from the demons." Noel explained.

"Their walls are destroyed and the buildings are still in repair, something like that?"

"I don't know the extent of the damage, but it will definitely need our attention. In the end, this city will change its role to become the hub that connects the main city with the rest of the kingdom after all."

"Fair enough." Anna nodded. "How about the second problem?"

"Food and water supplies. According to the information, the city has been selling demon crystals in exchange for supplies. The food can still be taken from the demon meats, but they don't have any farmland due to the continuous onslaught."

"Water problems shouldn't be a problem, right? We have a river and can redirect it to them."

"No. The river is actually not that far from them, so they can utilize it if they want. It's just that the city is not suitable for water wells. I've heard that they don't have any in that city. I'm not sure about the reason though."

"Is that so? That's rather concerning. Even if we can relieve the water problem, it won't be sustainable."

"Indeed. That's why I'm thinking about connecting the river. If we solve this problem not carefully, they might haunt us and force us to go out of the main city to help them again in the future."

Anna thought for a moment, wondering if Noel had implemented something in the past. Anna being Anna, her memory was a bit fuzzy since she was only focused on the main city.

"Say! The fact that it's a fort means there should be a lot of soldiers stationed there, right?" Anna asked.

"Indeed. Unlike us, who only have elite soldiers, this fort has about five to six hundred normal soldiers. That's why they have been able to fend off demons the whole time."

"If that's the case, why don't we use runes to help these people? I mean, they have a constant supply of Demon Crystals, right? If that's the case, we can use the rune to direct the water."

"Rune, huh…" Noel looked down. Instead of selling Demon Crystals and buying water, it would be more effective to use the Demon Crystals to supply the rune's energy. The rest of the Demon Crystals could be sold to improve the city.

Now that he thought about it, since this place was going to be the gate to reach the main city, he could improve the city with runes. This way, the people who entered his territory could see the wonders of runes firsthand and had their opinions increased when they reached the main city.

What Anna found was just a small detail in her memory, but for Noel, it was a big opportunity.

"That's right. We can set up a few runes later." Noel nodded. "But we will need to see the city's condition first before deciding which runes we can set up."

"That's settled."
