System vs Rebirth

Zaecuria Kingdom.

Marquis Benedict's movement was extremely swift. The moment he got an agreement with Noel, he immediately sent the information directly back to their king.

The king of the Zaecuria Kingdom was not like the others. He had short brown hair and slightly slanted eyes. Coupled with the big round glasses, it gave him the atmosphere of a smart and calculative mind.

Because of the importance of the matter, the king had asked all ministers to attend so that they could hear directly from Marquis Benedict.

"Are you not lying?" The king asked with a shocked expression.

"I don't dare lie to you, Your Majesty. I have made a deal with Noel Ardagan. We're going to create the first automated ship in history with runes," said Marquis Benedict in a solemn tone.

"The first automated ship…" The minister of defense contemplated. "If we have that kind of thing, we can deploy it around the river and sea. The fact that we don't need to bring more workers to paddle the ship means we can increase the number of soldiers on board. Just imagining how a ship can bring hundreds if not thousands of soldiers in peak condition upon landing… it's unbelievable."

"No, no. You can't just think about the defense. If we use this ship as a mode of transportation. With our kingdom's layout, we can actually decrease the price of goods." The minister of economy waved his hand, thinking his idea was better.

"No. We should explore the sea with this ship. It's basically a high-risk, high-return investment. If we can find another land, we might be able to get more resources from that area." The minister of exploration and exploitation also intervened.

The king raised his hand, asking his ministers to shut their mouths. "Is such a ship possible?"

"I have seen an automated carriage that can move forward without a horse. When modified, it can also do a lot of things. I believe we can use that on a ship." Marquis Benedict nodded without hesitation.

"An automated carriage, huh? That's also good, but the ship is better for our Zaecuria Kingdom."

"But won't it use the same rune? If we have the ship, we can actually create that automated carriage."

The ministers whispered to each other again, thinking about the benefits for the Zaecuria Kingdom.

"What is the price we have to pay?" The king asked.

"First of all, we need about 200,000 gold coins and a lot of demon crystals to pay for the slots in the Rune Academy. As for the ship, we will be sponsoring it while sending five of the experts to work together with Noel Ardagan personally. In other words, these five will be able to learn the core technique to create the runes.

"However, he asked us to help the territory by sending those five experts in 1 grandmaster and 4 masters composition. From what I can see, he shouldn't have any problem gathering at least 10 grandmasters in his territory.

"And this is just a rumor, but the Moon Temple is planning to create another headquarters in his city. Their Saintess and a Paladin have been stationed there."

"!!!" The people widened their eyes in shock.
