System vs Rebirth

"The letter has been recovered."

"!!!" Noel and Anna exchanged looks. This letter was a message from his ancestor.

The first thing Noel did was ask, "How is that person?"

"We have secured him for the time being. According to the agreement, he is not to leave this city for the next three years. There is also a nondisclosure agreement. Of course, we'll compensate him fairly," Rose explained.

"Good. Don't make it too suspicious, lest it'll attract suspicion."

"Yes." Rose nodded and handed over the letter.

Noel grabbed the letter. It was extremely old, so they had to be careful.

Each word was a bit hard to read. In fact, some of them were missing, but they could still read it.

Dear my descendant,

I don't know if you'll ever receive this message or not, but I hope that you never have the need to read this letter.

If you read this letter, it means that the demon king has been resurrected. The demon king is an extremely powerful demon, but you don't have to fear. One demon king can only create so much devastation, not the whole world.

There are a lot of things I want to say, so I leave everything in that place. I don't know who will have this territory in the future, but I will go to the mountain of the beginning.

There is a gate that leads to my and my wife's resting place. As long as you bring the key, you will be able to enter that place.

I leave everything you need to know in order to defeat the demon king over there… probably demon kings.

After all, in this world, there are multiple demon kings, according to my grandmother before she used Ardagan one last time to close the portal.

I wish you to find that place, my descendant.

And say hello to Ardagan for me.

"…" Noel blinked his eyes a few times. "The mountain of the beginning? Where?"

"I don't know." Anna shook her head helplessly. "According to this letter, Ardagan must have known about it."

"That's true…" Noel scratched the back of his head. "But he is not here right now. There is no way I will know about this mountain of the beginning… Then again, it's not like he will tell us everything in a single letter. I guess we have to find it out.

Anna thought for a moment. "By the way, I don't think we need to wait until Ardagan wakes up. There is someone who might know what this mountain is."

Noel dropped his jaw to the ground, remembering one person who once served his ancestor.

"Call Incetta… No, where is Incetta right now?" Noel asked.

"She is probably in the barrack, training with the soldiers," Rose answered.

"Take care of my work for a bit, Rose. I need to go out." Noel didn't even bother to leave through the door. He just opened the window and jumped out.

Anna followed him, leaving Rose behind.

"…" Rose's eyebrows twitched. "I know that the letter is important, but don't you think it's not good to leave just like this? You can call Incetta here, you know."

Noel and Anna didn't care about it. They immediately headed to the barracks and saw Incetta sparring with Howard.

When Incetta was about to thrust her spear and Howard was waving his blade, Noel suddenly appeared between them, stopping their weapons with his bare hands.

"!!!" Incetta, Howard, and the soldiers widened their eyes in shock.

"My lord?" Howard panicked. Even though Noel barged into their fight, it was still dangerous.

"That's the marquis…"

Before they reacted, Noel said to Howard. "I'll be borrowing her for a bit."

"Huh?" Incetta was confused, but Noel already grabbed her and leaped into the sky.

"…" Everyone dropped their jaws, not knowing what was so important for Noel to 'kidnap' Incetta like this.

He brought her to a small alley in the area.

"What do you need from me for you to drag me here?" Incetta asked.

"Sorry, but it's not you." Noel shook his head. Anna was waiting on top of the roof.

"Not me?" Incetta was confused for a moment before tilting her head to the side.

Vivi came out as Incetta repeated it for Noel to hear. "What do you need from me?"

"I'll cut to the chase. Do you know the mountain of the beginning?"

"!!!" Vivi's body shook when she heard that name. "Where did you hear that name? Has Ardagan woken up?"

Noel shook his head and took out the letter, showing it to only Vivi by placing it above his head.

"This is Alex's writing…" Vivi fell silent for a moment. "The mountain of the beginning is the place where Alex and Margaretha held their marriage. After Margaretha fell in battle, Alex buried her in that mountain.

"He never called it the mountain of beginning and end because Alex is a person who always believes that when there is an end, there is always a new beginning. That's why it's called the mountain of the beginning."

Noel's expression turned solemn. "Do you know where the mountain is?"

"Yes. I doubted anyone who followed him wouldn't know that place. It seems you're planning to go there."

"Yes."

"Well, this job is supposed to be Ardagan's job, but it doesn't seem possible right now. I guess I can lead you there. Just bring this kid with you, and I'll point out that place."

"Thank you very much." Noel nodded.

When the agreement was reached, Anna jumped off the building and said, "Still, even though this is important, you said you shouldn't leave the city for the time being."

"I'm planning to employ the strategy that my grandfather has devised. Since we'll be aggressive from now on, there is no need to do that. Hence, I need you to create a distraction."

Anna frowned. "Alright. What do I need to do?"

"Bring Howard and the others to the Demon Banner Army's headquarters to take care of the transfer of our technology. That also includes the Moon Temple. They will be focusing on you, but Melissa has to remain in this place since there is a chance they will come here as well."

"Alright."

Although Noel felt bad that he couldn't go together with Anna to pay respect to their ancestors, they could still visit that place in the future.
