System vs Rebirth

Chapter 1136 New Target

"If that's the case, then I don't really know." Anna frowned. "Well, I might have an idea for the second person." She paused for a moment. "First of all, there is a rather unique person. He is criticizing the kingdom due to the fact that it's easy to execute the commoners while it's hard for the nobles to get punished by something."

"Hoh? That's indeed unique as well as dangerous. He should know what it means to criticize the kingdom and its nobles, right?"

"Indeed. As a result, he is being scrutinized by all the people around him. However, two years from now, he ends up finding a true master. He changes the way the land is regulated, and it's not limited to crimes."

"Not limited to crimes?" Noel frowned.

"Yes. You should know that to export our items, there will be several regulations and checks, right?"

"Indeed. It takes several days, since we also need to notify the destination regarding it." Noel nodded.

"In our previous lives, when he took the office, he reduced all that process to just two days."

"!!!" Noel widened his eyes in shock. "Are you sure about it?"

"Yeah. That first day is to handle everything on our side while waiting for the letter to be sent to the destination. The second day is the finalization. We can send out the export that day. And that territory is soon loved by the merchants."

Noel became even more interested. "And who was his master?"

"Christina."

"Countess Christina?!" Noel looked shocked.

"Yes."

Noel looked down, contemplating. 'It's true that Countess Christina's location is in the center of the kingdom. With her territory as the basis, people would love to use it as a hub. But Countess Christina currently has a good relationship with Duke Lorelei, and the latter is related to the third princess.

'Don't tell me. The Third Princess has been manipulating everything behind the scenes?' Noel gasped. "If this is true… she is one hell of a princess."

"Princess? Huh?" Anna was confused.

"Yeah. What do you think will happen if the third princess, who everyone thinks is nothing but a doll this far, suddenly takes the throne?"

"That's…" Anna fell silent. She started connecting all the dots, from the kingdom's situation to its stability and the rebellion. "So she is planning to use Countess Christina as the beacon for the Muivell Kingdom's recovery?"

Noel nodded with a serious expression.

"Now I finally understand… She has been enduring everything this far while manipulating things from the shadows. While it's the same manipulation, she is doing it to make the Muivell Kingdom great again, unlike the others who are related to the Supreme Devil Organization." Anna gasped.

Noel let out a long sigh. It seemed that the Muivell Kingdom's future wouldn't be too bleak. While he still didn't intend to join her, he didn't mind helping her a little bit. "Anyway, we'll contact that guy… Who is his name again?"

"Gustav."

"We'll invite Gustav to work for us. And we'll use our city like Countess Christina did in her past life, but after that, we will negotiate with Countess Christina to adopt the same policy. With Countess Christina's position in the kingdom and our Ardagan family's technology, the effect it'll bring will be much bigger."

"That sounds like a good plan." She nodded with a serious expression. "In that case, I'll try to remember anyone remarkable in their previous life. And we need someone who is not affiliated with someone, right?"

"Yes. Now that I think about it, what is Gustav doing right now?"

"He? He should be preparing for his graduation from the royal academy."

"Graduation? Wait, what? How old is he again?"

"Right now? If I'm not wrong, he should be 19 years old this year."

Noel dropped his jaw, never expecting someone who brought all that change to be this young. "Hahaha. I thought that the Greenwood Kingdom is the only one filled with talents, while our kingdom is in a sad state. I guess it's not true."

Anna shrugged. "Well, you can handle the auction. I'll search for a name."

Noel nodded and took his time browsing the catalog. After another two minutes, Hilda finally returned.

The excitement inside the auction house gradually increased as the items became more and more expensive.

Unfortunately, there was nothing that piqued Noel's interest. Even in the catalog, the only thing that he wanted to buy was the sword.

But because of the sword's origin as well as its power, it was listed as the last item to be auctioned.

During that time, Noel made some small talk, trying to get some information from Hilda regarding the protective screen. In addition, he also tried to understand how the auction was held and how he should proceed with the bid.

Finally, after waiting for almost two hours, the last item was finally brought out. The host had changed from a beautiful woman to a middle-aged man who appeared to be a spirit master.

The weapon was shown inside a glass case.

This sword looked a bit unique. It was a bit thicker than a normal sword, and the aura exuding from the sword was actually beyond Dimitri's weapon.

The blade was actually green, with a few cross symbols lining up in the middle of the body. The cross guard was a circle, and the handle was at least two times longer than Ardagan's.

While Noel needed to adjust himself a little bit if he wanted to wield this sword, it shouldn't be much of a problem to master it. Nevertheless, this was just a replacement. He could still use it for another thing later.

The host explained, "And with this, we've arrived at the last item of the auction. This sword is called Forsaken Duality. It's a treasured sword of the Sherverna family, who are famous for their spear technique. The starting bid is 10 million, and every bid can't be any lower than 1 million."

"11 million!"

"15 million!"

"16 million!"

The people started bidding with excitement.

Noel smiled and finally opened his mouth. "Hilda. Win this sword for me. Just use 10 million in every bid."

Hilda looked shocked at first, but she immediately nodded. "Understood."
