Chapter 1134 Secret Meeting

Inside the room, there were only four people. There was no one else, including guards, at the entrance. This way, no one would know about the meeting, and if Noel and Anna decided to kill the king, they might be able to do it.

However, that was the reason why Noel suggested the king bring a spirit transcendence as his guard.

The king finally understood the reason and started the conversation from there. "To think that you two would be able to become spirit transcendence experts at that age. I have no words to describe how amazed I am."

"Thank you." Noel nodded. "I appreciate that you are a wise king who would take the suggestion of a noble from another country."

"I am probably an insane king who actually believes your words." The king chuckled. "I know that you are going to participate in the auction. Fradania has nagged me a lot that we need to leave tonight to avoid the commotion that the auction will cause, so let's discuss the most important matter, shall we?"

Noel agreed. "I believe that Khalid has explained my intention to you regarding the sea expedition. I and Anna will be participating in the next expedition. We'll provide the runes that the ship will use. In exchange, the Zaecuria Kingdom shall provide the ship and the remaining crews for the expedition."

The king closed his eyes for a moment. With two spirit transcendence experts on board, the expedition might become the safest expedition to date. However, the king still warned them, "In the past eighty years, we have sent twenty expeditions into the sea to find a land other than the one we currently live in. However, we've failed every single one. I'm sure that you're aware of this before proposing the sea expedition, right?"

"Of course." Noel nodded with a serious expression.

"Then, why would you volunteer to join the sea expedition this time? This might even be more dangerous than the demon army you fought a few months ago."

"I am aware of the danger. However, it's not like I'm suggesting a sea expedition without any confidence to succeed."

"Hoh?" The king squinted his eyes.

"I've got certain information from a very reliable source, so I believe that we can find land in this sea expedition. I have no proof, but my confidence is about 80%. While I'm aware of the failure, I'm still new to the sea and the danger looming inside it, so I can't increase the chance further." The Spirit God was really a very reliable source. In fact, he might call him the most reliable source since there was no reason why the Spirit God would trick him.

"That's rather reassuring." The king closed his eyes for a moment. "80%, huh? That's the highest number we've heard so far. Suppose I accept. What will I receive from this?"

"First of all, I'm going to tell you about my demand first." Noel stopped him. "As you probably heard from your guardian regarding the incident outside this city…"
