System vs Rebirth

While Anna was persuading the other lords, Noel had the exact plan as the Water Lord suggested.

Milfa came to visit Noel as Oscar ordered, not expecting that Noel would suggest such a ridiculous thing.

"What? You're trying to offer rune technology as a military weapon?" Milfa gasped. "Do you understand what you're talking about? You are basically giving us your technology."C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

"You're protesting even though it will benefit the Demon Banner Army. Are you sure you are on the army's side instead of mine?" Noel smirked.

"This is not the time to joke around!"

Noel let out a long sigh. "Yeah. I'm serious. If I don't do this when the Tower Association has been seized by the demons, the Tower Association will be trying to seize the rune technology for free.

"On the other hand, if I turn this technology into a military weapon, they won't be able to seize it. Unlike the regular army, the Demon Banner Army has a certain authority over their creation. The merchants do have the same privilege to a certain extent."

"Is that the reason why you are using the Runegard company instead of doing it yourself?"

"Yes. To avoid them seizing my property with the charge of a monopoly, I will be splitting my technology into four. The Ardagan family has the right for the water system and my new weapon, the Rune Cards.

"The Demon Banner Army will be receiving our weapons while we retain the rights to utilize and invent new weapons."

Milfa thought for a moment. "And the Runegard company will get the right for the distribution of daily technology? Who is the fourth party?"

"The Moon Temple. They will get the right of transportation."

"Transportation!" Milfa fell silent for a moment. "The army can also get the right for transportation, you know."

"I know that both the army and the temple require transportation. However, I'm not planning to give anyone the right to half my technology."

Milfa felt it was a shame since the train would help a lot in moving their squads around. And by giving that transportation to the Moon Temple, they had to work together with both Noel and Layla to use it, which complicated things a little bit.

At the same time, there was one problem with Noel giving his technology away. "If you give away all this stuff…"

"I know. I might lose all of them, but they can try to backstab me if they can. Noel smirked as if he wasn't afraid that the Runegard Company, the Moon Temple, and the Demon Banner Army decided to overthrow Noel once they got the technology.

The Runegard Company was managed by his people, and his disciple was there to keep everyone in check. The Demon Banner Army still had to focus on the demons, which meant they wouldn't be able to overthrow him if the demons defeated them. This was the biggest reason why Noel would suggest such a bold plan.

If the demons won, everyone would lose everything. If humans won, the Ardagan would be the strongest, and no one would dare try anything against them. Noel even had a longer lifespan because he was already half-spirit.

In addition, Noel could always develop the rune technology even further and produce more new technology. These three influences could help him in spreading the current technology wide, which would allow the other three kingdoms to get a piece of the pie.

It was true that losing them was painful, but if he looked at it in the long run, the Ardagan family would be the biggest winner.

Besides, he was quite close to Layla, who happened to have the Moon Goddess as her spirit. The Moon Goddess should know the Spirit God's stance, so there was no way she would betray him, at least not anytime soon.

And by doing this, the royal family and the tower association couldn't claim them for themselves, no matter what loophole they planned to use.

Milfa didn't know that Noel still had the airship and the battleship that he hadn't even revealed yet. And he didn't plan to give those two.

"So that's how it is. By giving the right of transportation to the Moon Temple, they have no choice but to use their own resources to expand the road. No one can really refuse the temple, unlike you, who can easily be kept in check by using laws." Milfa sucked a cold breath.

Noel winked his right eye. The royal family had been using all kinds of excuses to not uphold their promise in building roads.

But if the Moon Temple requested it, let alone the nobles, the royal family had to help. After all, the Muivell Kingdom wasn't the only one that watched over the temple. The Zaecuria Kingdom and the Greenwood Kingdom would have a reason to interfere with the Muivell Kingdom's decision if they refused.

The demons inside the royal palace had no choice but to agree if they didn't want people to realize their identities.

"What do you think?" Noel asked.

"If we acknowledge it, the Demon Banner Army will also be dragged into this political strife. At the same time, our goal remains the same. It's to fight the demons." Milfa sighed.

Noel smiled. "It seems that we have reached an agreement."

"Before that, I hope to see the details of the agreement. And let's put it in a contract."

"I know. That's why I have prepared this." Noel grabbed a paper on his table.

"…" Milfa skimmed the entire document and couldn't help but say, "You definitely know how to make an offer that no one can reject… No. I can't even argue or negotiate."

"I'm glad that you like it." Noel chuckled. "Though, no matter how hard I try to convince you, it's not like you are going to leave the Demon Banner Army and join my Ardagan family, right?"

"That's obvious. Don't test my patience." Milfa snorted. "Anyway, I'll relay the contract to the commander. And he would also like to hear what you're planning to do next so that he knows how to position our squads."

"If that's the case…" Noel moved to the table on the side. There was a map on top of it, as if he knew she would ask for it.
