System vs Rebirth Chapter 489 Task

“Let’s cut to the chase. I need your help.”

Dimitri couldn’t help but frown upon those words. He didn’t want to help excessively, but it seemed Noel had another plan in mind as he added, “I’m not going to ask you to protect me or even kill someone else. I only want you to bring something to my mother’s family.”

“…” Dimitri closed his eyes for a moment. Bringing something wasn’t that hard for him. This kind of help could be replaced by others, but since Noel asked him like this, it was clear that the item he wanted to transport held great importance.

Only Dimitri was trusted enough to bring this item. And since the help wasn’t about a fight, it didn’t matter that much. He only worried that the moment he left him alone, Noel would face great danger, especially from the Supreme Devil Organization.

After mulling it over for a few minutes, Dimitri finally agreed to the request. “I understand. I’ll bring the item for you, Young Master.”

Noel smiled and took out a notebook. “I want you to give this book to my grandfather.”

“This is…” Dimitri fell silent because he could see the title of this notebook. It was actually about the rune that only he knew.

He had observed Noel for a long time, so obviously, he was aware of the runes that Noel had taught Rose. Its potential might be beyond what the richest family had.

“This is the second part. I’ve given the first part to my grandfather. I want you to tell him to combine the two books and make a book for a basic introduction to the rune.

“However, he has to abide by one promise. He can only publish the book six months later. Even showing the king of the Greenwood Kingdom can only be done not long before the book is published.”

“…” Dimitri frowned. He wasn’t sure about this plan. As Luke Ardagan’s right-hand man, he obviously understood the lineage of the Ardagan Family. If Noel did this, the Royal Family of the Greenwood Kingdom might take some action. He had to ask Noel to confirm his doubt. “Young Master. Are you aware of your lineage?”

“I know. My ancestor came from the royal family of the Greenwood Kingdom and the Sword Saint, who was my ancestor’s sworn brother, was also from the same royal family.” Noel nodded with a serious expression.

“Huh? Royal Family?” Rose obviously didn’t know anything about the lineage. She was shocked to know Noel was related to the royal family. Although the line already became so thin after a thousand years, it didn’t change the fact that he was also a part of the royal family.

And with the Greenwood Kingdom having the record about the Spirit Enchantment, the downgraded version of the rune, they might potentially acknowledge Noel as one of their members.

When that happens, Noel might face a big problem since the other princes and princesses who wanted the throne might want to eliminate him.

Though, this problem could be solved by simply not visiting the Greenwood Kingdom altogether. It seemed that Noel only wanted to do this so that he could stop the Greenwood Kingdom from helping this kingdom or any organization to kill him.

Still, publishing this book would give a lot of power to his mother’s family, the Ezenholm Family, especially since his grandfather was a great figure among the Spirit Magicians.

Dimitri could see a few reasons why he entrusted this notebook to his grandfather. As a Spirit Magician, his grandfather would be interested in it and could arrange the training for a lot of people. The teaching could be spread easily.

“But Young Master, if you want to spread the knowledge about the runes…”

“I know. There are three major problems. First, there will be many influences that want to monopolize it. And with the Ezenholm Family having sole possession, they will be threatened from all directions.

“That’s why I want to ask you this… Who was a big enemy to our Ardagan Family?”

“Huh, a big enemy?” Dimitri was confused for a moment while trying to come up with a name. Noel wanted a big enemy, not the arch nemesis, so it was clear that the Royal Family wasn’t the correct answer.

With him knowing the truth about the Stargaze Family, Dimitri crossed them out as well. That left two names in his mind.

“If I have to say, then it’s Duchess Priscilla and Marquis Simon. The Duchess wanted your father’s aid back then, but because your father chose the Third Prince’s side, she held a grudge and was the one helping the execution of your problem.

“As for Marquis Simon… he has a different problem. He has been aiming for the Ardagan Family’s wealth for a long time. If not for Marquis Stargaze stopping him, he would be the one to take the Ardagan Family’s wealth and land.

“If these two didn’t meet your requirement, then there was Earl Michael, who was your father’s love rival.”

Noel contemplated for a moment. “I still don’t have enough power to go against a Duchess, but this plan is a waste if I only use it against an Earl. In that case, let’s attack Marquis Simon… If I’m not wrong, his full name is Simon Walford…”

“Yes. He is Simon Walford, the head of the Walford Family. His territory is located northwest of the Ardagan’s territory. He was the one to condemn your father when he took care of that territory, only to bite him when your father succeeded in making the territory prosper.”

“I see. That’s a perfect target. Then, do we still have any trusted allies left? Their relationship with Marquis Simon is bad if possible.”

“Hmm… Marquis Stargaze is our trusted ally, but I don’t think he can do anything right now. As for your second condition, I can only think about one person. It’s Countess Christina. Her territory is situated near both Ardagan and Walford’s territories, but your father had a mutual relationship with her while the Marquis loved to oppress her.”

“That’s perfect. I have a plan.” Noel smirked.
