System vs Rebirth

Noel and Anna were sitting on their beds as though they were still too hurt to move around. Meanwhile, a beautiful woman wearing a white robe with a crescent moon crest on her chest and her signature blindfold stood in front of them.

Despite seeing them injured, she actually greeted her with a calm tone as though she wasn't worried about them. "Since I've promised back then that I will drop the honorific after you become a noble, then I can be more comfortable with you. Hello, Noel and Anna."

Noel nodded. "Unfortunately, I can't greet you formally because of my current condition."

There were only Noel, Anna, Evan, Khalid, and Layla in the room. Evan was just trying to protect these two kids while trying to learn about the relationship between Noel and Anna.

Evan thought, 'The Moon Temple is a large influence. They remain neutral most of the time, so it's surprising that these two actually know her. When did they meet? It seems that I still underestimate these two kids. Their connection might be far bigger than my wildest imagination.'

Seeing that Noel didn't say anything about the others inside this room, Layla actually said, "Is that so? Even though you are well enough to run and jump around?"

"…" Noel scratched the back of his head. It seemed that Layla had realized his current condition.

"I have told you in the past, right? I don't regret losing my eyesight because in exchange, all my other senses are heightened. Your breath doesn't sound like you are in critical condition… Though, I can't see if you're covered in bandages or not." Layla confidently smiled as though she had seen through Noel.

"Haha. I guess I can't fool you." Noel chuckled. He was impressed by Layla's sense. In the past, Layla was only a peak Spirit Master. But because she had exhausted most of his power to protect the city, she couldn't release her full power during that fight.

And this time, it seemed that she had become even stronger. While Noel was confident that he could defeat Layla, it wouldn't be an easy fight due to the nature of her ability.

Layla said, "It seems that you don't need our healers, so I guess I have come in vain."

"While it's good to reminisce about the past, I think we should move on to the matter in question first."

"If you say so." Layla nodded in agreement. "The reason for coming here is to repay you for your help back then. As I said earlier, you've gained my respect for what you did back then, so in exchange, I will be setting up the Moon Temple here. If possible, in your main city as well."

"!!!" Evan was the most shocked person here. He thought, 'If the Moon Temple set up their branch here, it would mean that at least fifty temple knights would be stationed here. There should be a few Spirit Masters and Spirit Wielders. While they can't be used to fight against other influences, they will definitely help if the city is attacked by demons.

'I am here to help the city, but if the Moon Temple takes over, it will mean that there is a chance that Noel will replace me. Still, why would the Saintess go all the way here just to set up the branch? Normally, it would be just an officer coming here.

'And there should be one or two priests with healing abilities standing by in the village. It seems that aside from repaying Noel, the Saintess is trying to witness the transformation of runes.'

Evan knew all the benefits that came from the Moon Temple setting up their branch here. While the temple was also aiming for something, the benefits far outweigh it.

Noel smiled with a wry smile. "I don't mind if you want to set up a temple here, but I can't give you permission for the main city yet."

"I see." Layla understood Noel's circumstances. It seemed that the main city was more amazing than she originally thought. And Noel obviously wanted to hide his trump card as much as possible.
