System vs Rebirth

Chapter 1125 Thoughts

"Saintess Layla has arrived." The door was opened by Sandra before she bowed to Layla, allowing her to come in.

Noel nodded to Rose first, signaling for her to get Elaine here. Rose nodded back and walked away. After that, he stood up while saying, "I apologize for taking so long to meet you."

"It seems that you've gotten stronger again, Marquis." Layla smiled. "It's a blessing to this territory."

"Mhmm…" Noel looked at Layla for a moment before turning to Sandra to leave them alone. It seemed that Layla was planning to talk about something important by the way she spoke.

After Sandra left, Noel extended his hand. "It's my fault for taking so long to meet you. It seems that there is a reason for you staying behind when no one will care if you choose to leave since you've fulfilled the agreement we've made beforehand."

Layla smiled. "As expected of Marquis Ardagan, you certainly understand me."

"You're exaggerating. There is no one here, so you can speak informally."

Layla paused for a moment before calling Noel "Marquis Ardagan," as if showing that this wasn't a matter she could easily talk about.

Noel understood the meaning and turned solemn.

"I've received the divine revelation from the Moon Goddess herself. The chaos is approaching. Humans have to join hands to deal with it, or the demons will raze everything that has been built so far."

Noel frowned. Now that he thought about it, her spirit was also one of the highest rank. He was aware of this due to his ancestors' books as well as the meeting with the Spirit God.

Layla continued, "The Moon Temple won't change its way. We will continue to fight the demons but leave the humans' matters alone."

"I see." Noel closed his eyes. Layla simply said that she would help him fight the demon army and the demon king. However, she wouldn't do anything for the Muivell Kingdom, especially their royal family.

Layla politely bowed to him. "I'll go back this time and persuade all the paladins and elders of my Moon Temple to assist you in the battle against demons. However, even with the help of my Moon Temple, it'll be impossible for us to resist them."

"I know." Noel nodded. "I'm not planning to fight it alone."

"I believe so." Layla smiled. She obviously knew that Noel had been creating an alliance in the northern area. Since the only way for the demons to destroy them was through the north, this alliance would create a wall that repelled those demons.

Of course, Noel didn't intend to fight them alone. The Greenwood Kingdom was most likely to come forward the moment they knew a Demon King had appeared. Once Noel was down, the first thing the demons would hit was them after all. Besides, there was no way his grandfather would just let this happen.

They might choose to help, even if it meant invading the Muivell Kingdom.

He also had some relationships with the Zaecuria Kingdom and the Atracaeca Kingdom, but he didn't know whether they would come or not. Still, the Zaecuria Kingdom would be useful for the sea expedition that the Spirit God had ordered him to do.

Still, having the help of all the paladins, archbishops, and elders from the Moon Temple was huge. They also had numerous resources.

Even if it's for propaganda, I'm unwilling to be recognized as such. I'm merely a single man, struggling to break away from my impending doom," said Noel with
