Chapter 846 Situation

Chapter 846 Situation

Noel's arrival gave a huge shock to the entire Greenwood Kingdom. After the rune was popularized, it was said that Damian, the vice captain of the Royal Army, had learned directly from Noel Ardagan.

He then publicized the two unique ways of runes. The first one was the completed version of Spirit Enchantment. The Spirit Enchantment was basically a normal support rune that Noel usually used.

But the most shocking thing was the second one, which was the Movement Rune. As a kingdom filled with Spirit Magicians, the Greenwood Kingdom had utilized the way of using their abilities far better than anyone else. By adding the Movement Runes into the mix, it was as if a human was given a pair of wings.

There was a full scale research conducted in the kingdom.

Of course, Damian also told them about the Rune Body, but because he didn't get the secret from Noel, there was still not much movement regarding this type.

With those achievements, Damian was promoted to a Marquis, but he chose to remain as the Vice Captain of the Royal Army.

And because of all those trips with Noel, Raincart caught Damian all the time, forcing him to tell him about Noel.

Obviously, Damian also got more information from Raincart, including the fact that he suddenly went to the border to get Noel.

Upon finding out about Raincart's intention, Damian rushed to the royal palace.

He was currently kneeling in front of the king, reporting the situation.

The king raised his eyebrows, asking, "Are you sure?"

"Yes. I believe Sir Raincart is bringing Noel home at this time. I think he will be staying in this kingdom for a while."

The king looked down, falling into deep thought. "You said that it's impossible to entice him, right?"

"Yes. From my observation, Noel Ardagan is not someone that can be enticed by money, status, or women."

"Coercion?"

Damian shook his head. "The information from Commander Leon has stated that he managed to kill a peak Spirit Grandmaster with his plan. He himself has fought multiple Masters and Grandmasters. Back then, he and Anna Stargaze managed to take down a Superior Demon by themselves and with the speed of his progress, I'm afraid that we might suffer if we force him."

"Can't be enticed and forced…" The king frowned. It was hard to deal with someone like this.

On the one hand, he wanted to integrate Noel into this kingdom since the opportunity had arrived. On the other hand, he didn't know the method that could do it.

They seemed to only have one path, which was a business relationship. The previous one was extremely beneficial, so it wasn't that bad of an option.

But before he made a decision, Damian added, "That's right. In the report from Commander Leon, it's said that he has brought two kids from the Atracaeca Kingdom. I don't think he will kidnap someone with high status, so I'm assuming that they are either commoners or slaves."

"Hmm? That kind of slave?"

"I don't think so. It seems that the two slaves have a good relationship, but we're not aware of their relationship with Noel."

"Slaves… commoners… two kids…" The king fell into deep thought. He felt that their relationship was more complicated than he originally thought.

After considering countless possibilities, the king had arrived at three possibilities. And he had just found out another way to cooperate with Noel.

"What is he planning to do in this kingdom?"

"I'm not sure. But if I have to take a guest, he has told me that he is planning to become a Spirit Grandmaster soon."

That answer was what the king just needed.

"That's right… He can't be enticed by those things or forced, right? What if he is the one requesting it?" The king smirked as if he had just gotten a weird idea. He waved his hand, asking Damian to come closer.

Damian was confused, but when the king whispered to him his plan, Damian couldn't help but gasp.

"What?!" Damian couldn't believe what he heard. However, the king only added, "You are in charge of it. Go."

"…" Damian thought that the king had gone insane, but at the same time, he couldn't deny the possibilities.

…

The Greenwood Kingdom wasn't the only one who got busy. There was a huge storm brewing in the Muivell Kingdom.

Dimitri was sitting in front of the commander himself with Milfa standing between them as if trying to mediate the discussion.

Dimitri and Oscar were glaring at each other.

"To think you know how to come back, Dimitri." Oscar squinted his eyes, judging Dimitri's action in leaving the Demon Banner Army.

"It seems that you only care about that petty thing. I didn't break any rules nor the army forbade me from leaving." Dimitri snorted. "If you're gonna talk about this thing, then there is no need to hand this gift."

"Gift?" Oscar was confused, thinking Dimitri wasn't someone who would give another person a present.

"It's just a mere thanks for taking care of the kids. Well, I should hand this gift to Milfa instead of you." Dimitri harrumphed and tossed a box to Milfa.

Milfa caught it carefully, not understanding what this box meant.

"Can I open it?" Milfa asked.

"Suit yourself."

Milfa put down the box on the table and opened the lids. She was surprised by a lot of heads inside the box.

"Wha—!" Milfa jumped back while looking at the box with a disgusted face. "Mentor… even if this is a prank, this is not funny…"

"It seems that you have been around Oscar too much that you've become too soft." Dimitri shrugged.

Milfa also thought Dimitri would scare her like this, so she took another glance at the heads before widening her eyes.

"This is…" Milfa gasped.

"What's wrong, Milfa?" Oscar frowned, feeling something wasn't right.

"He shouldn't have died for a long time, so the energy is still lingering in his body… But even though it has been weakened for quite a bit, if I'm not wrong… this person should be a Peak Spirit Grandmaster… Wait a minute. Mentor, didn't you go to the Atracaeca Kingdom earlier? And the Supreme Devil Organization chased you… Don't tell me, this person…"

Dimitri shrugged. "There are also around ten Devil Bishops and dozens of Devil Inspectors. Unfortunately, that old hag didn't die."

"A Devil Saint?" Milfa sucked a cold breath, never expecting Noel and Dimitri to be able to subdue a Devil Saint. They were chased by two Devil Saints after all.

"Old hag? Qiel?" Oscar frowned for another matter. Qiel was known to be a strategist on top of her strength. With her leading the operation, it was impossible to escape unless they managed to outsmart her or outnumber her.

The latter was impossible since Noel and Dimitri were the only ones. Dimitri couldn't outsmart Qiel as well. In other words, the one who made this possible was none other than Noel.

"In any case, that person is called Nelfer. He is also a Devil Saint. His body is as tough as steel. Even with my full power, I can't cut him down." Dimitri snorted. "You should be overjoyed with this gift, right? Spare me some more Demon Crystals."

"Didn't you say this is a gift?" Oscar gritted his teeth.

"Did I say something like that? I'm not sure. My blood was boiling earlier, so it might've affected my memory." Dimitri rolled his eyes.

Oscar let out a long sigh while covering his face with his hands. He added, "Just talk to Milfa about that. If you have nothing to say, just leave!"

"That's what I'm planning to do." Dimitri immediately stood up, expressing his unwillingness to stay one more second than he needed to be.

Milfa didn't know what to do other than give a wry smile before accompanying Dimitri outside.

"Mentor… Thank you for the gift."

"It's fine. I'm just doing my job."

"Job? Are you trying to imply that we're incompetent? Well, whatever. Thanks to you, we can start our counterattack. The organization should be chaotic after losing a Devil Saint."

"Instead of thanking me, you should thank him. Ah, you can handle the transferring process, right?"

"Yes, I can. But transferring? Is there anyone wanting to change their squad?" Milfa tilted her head in confusion.

"Here you go." Dimitri handed a letter that contained Noel's plan. "Just follow this. How are the kids?"

Milfa received it carefully and put it in her pocket. She explained, "They are doing fine. No, even better. They are freaks. Most of them are already Spirit Apprentices."

"Do you have any opinion about them going to our territory?"

"With our counterattack, the organization should lay low for a moment. So, your territory should be safe for a while…" Milfa shook her head, giving the approval.

"Alright then. There is nothing I need to do in this place."

"By the way, I think I need to tell you about these two things. There is a movement from the Third Prince and the Royal Family. I'm afraid that the organization is behind this…"

Dimitri frowned, asking, "Do you mean that the organization has made contact with the Third Prince and the Royal Family?"

"There is no evidence yet."

"What about the second one?"

"Anna Stargaze is about to become an Arbiter."
