System vs Rebirth

"Noel. I'm not sure if I should say this or not, but in the previous life, I have never heard anything about you utilizing the water with a ship or something."

"Hmm?" Noel thought for a moment. "Well, I'm not very sure about it. There might be a difference in details that you didn't notice like the connection, the speed, and the value of the runes. Just like how you're the one coming up with the idea of having lamps with runes, I might have a different idea that ends up causing it to be unable to be completed or something."

"Fair enough." Anna nodded. She remembered the explanation about time from the Thunder Berserker Spirit. All those variables were the ones shaping the future.

"Either way, I want you to focus on the future trip. Injury is not allowed." Noel smirked. "If you're injured, I'm going to punish you or something."

"Eh? You're going to punish an injured person?" Anna rolled her eyes but soon laughed. "Then, if I come back without any injuries, are you going to reward me?"

"Shouldn't you compensate me for suddenly leaving?" Noel harrumphed.

Both of them glared at each other before laughing out loud.

Noel said, "In any case, I have to prepare for the incoming expedition, so I'll be visiting Layla. You should remind us here that for the time being, we don't know if there are other spies or not."

"Got it."

…

Just like how the messenger from the Third Prince had arrived, the message that the Moon Temple had sent to the elders had also arrived.

In the Moon Temple Headquarters, five people were sitting behind a round table.

"So, what do you think?" One of thewearing elderly men asked.

A middle-aged man, who was wearing a knight armor, said, "If there is a technology that can allow us to replace the horses, I think it's worth it. We have spent a lot of money on a horse, and it's troublesome since we have to protect the horses. There's even a chance that they will be killed or injured. Isn't that right, Archbishop Noah?"

An old man wearing a red-colored priest robe nodded in agreement. "That's true. We can direct that resource to another place. Besides, the report told us that there are other inventions, right? If that's the case, won't it mean that we have a chance to find something better? I think I agree with Paladin Lloyd."

Another elder replied, "Still, mobilizing two paladins and the Saintess itself… It's too big of a move."

"You shouldn't think that way. The Saintess is the backbone of our temple. And if you look at her request, I think I can understand what she wants." The last elder nodded his head in approval.

"His request is Paladin Lloyd and Paladin Aurelia. Paladin Lloyd is the calmest one and quite smart, so you might be able to learn a thing or two during your stay there. But the most important thing is Paladin Aurelia. She was a former noble with a high education. If she and the Saintess join hands, they might be able to get important technology from the inventor of the rune." Archbishop Noah pointed at Lloyd. "The question is, do you wish to go?"

"That's…" Paladin Lloyd fell into deep thought. On the one hand, it would be meddlesome to stay in one city, especially a half-destroyed one. On the other hand, it was reported that the lord was planning to build a water supply that every single house could get without even going out of their house. It made him curious.
