System vs Rebirth

Chapter 1503: Chaotic Greenwood Kingdom

Greenwood Kingdom.

"..." The king fell silent after listening to the report.

"What did you say?" The prime minister gasped.

"Yes, sir. We’ve received the report about Noel Ardagan becoming a spirit king. It is said that a single slash of his sword can cut down an entire forest. His fire and ice merge into a blue flame... one that can freeze and burn at the same time.

"In the face of this power, the enemies have no other choice but to run away. Due to the former arbiter, Josephine, he didn’t chase after them.

"However, the Ardagan family has won, and they are preparing for a counterattack. It looks like their army is about to invade the demon territory to find them."

Everyone was speechless. Everyone understood what it meant to be a spirit king. Obviously, the Greenwood Kingdom should be happy about this. After all, their princess was a student of such a person.

They had heard about the advanced-level rune as well. If she learned it and brought it back to the kingdom, they might be able to make the same battleship.

However, it couldn’t be compared to the value of a spirit king. The problem was that they had used the spirit king as a channel to infiltrate the Muivell Kingdom.

In addition, Raincart, his grandfather, had become a spirit transcendence. Due to his sudden advancement, a lot of people were poking Raincart even if it meant banding together.

They all wanted to know his secret. At the same time, they wanted to eliminate Raincart so that they wouldn’t get oppressed by him.

The royal family had remained as bystanders this whole time, which turned into a massive problem for themselves.

This action was similar to saying that the royal family’s relationship with the formal tutor of the king, Raincart, started to lose its strength.

However, with Noel becoming a spirit king, everything changed. If the spirit king was that powerful, even if they sent all their spirit transcendences, it wouldn’t be enough.

If Noel took action to handle his grandfather’s grievance, the king couldn’t imagine the devastation it would bring. And people had no choice but to say, ’They reap what they sow. ’

"..." The king’s expression turned pale. If his relationship with Raincart was still good, he would probably be laughing right now. But because it wasn’t, the king was sweating profusely.

They had a cooperation regarding the airship, but Noel could simply bring that cooperation elsewhere. The Zaecuria Kingdom would definitely be the first one to bite. Or he might give it to the Atracaeca Kingdom and turn the former enemy into the strongest ally.

At this rate, the Greenwood Kingdom would suffer the same fate as the Muivell Kingdom’s royal family.

It was something he couldn’t afford.

The king gritted his teeth and asked, "Are there still movements around the Ezenholm family?"

"I’m not sure." The prime minister shook his head helplessly.

"Idiot. Hurry up and find out. All those people who dare to harm the Ezenholm family... Capture them and punish them right now!"

"But Your Majesty..."

"But what? Do you want to unleash the anger of a spirit king on this kingdom?"

"No... It’s just... The report hasn’t been confirmed yet. He might be stronger, but no one has ever seen a spirit king still survive in this world. How could we know if he has become a spirit king?"

"Are you an idiot? It looks like you don’t want your job anymore." The king gnashed his teeth. "That third prince is said to be the demon king. If he is the demon king, he must have confirmed that power.

"His strength might not be the same as the previous demon king, but the battle that happened one thousand years ago was shrouded in mystery. The demon king might not be fully awakened right now.

"However, if even that kind of being is retreating from him, it’s clear that he has reached a whole new level.

"Besides, Noel Ardagan didn’t even deny his status. It’s clear that he has become one. Even if he hasn’t become one, he must have been prepared to receive that title. In other words, he is not afraid of anyone anymore!

"If you say another word right now, there’s no need for you to remain as the prime minister."

The prime minister panicked. He could only nod furiously.

"Go right now!"

The prime minister rushed away. Usually, the king was calm, but this was probably the first time the prime minister had seen the king so angry and frustrated.

However, the king didn’t stop there. It looked like he had to pay another visit to Raincart.

Obviously, a lot of nobles, especially the high-ranking ones, had a lot of spies spread around the kingdom.

The news that reached the king’s ears spread quickly like wildfire.

Some people panicked, some people saw an opportunity. There was one person who was the happiest.

"Hahahaha." Raincart laughed out loud after reading the report. "I see. He has become that strong, huh?

"The grandfather of a spirit king... To think I would be called that before I die." Raincart smiled wryly. He hadn’t done a lot of things for Noel. The only thing he could provide was a bit of advice and protection because he was a noble from the Greenwood Kingdom, not the Muivell Kingdom.

But Noel understood his sincerity. Despite not being around him that much, Noel truly considered him his grandfather.

"I wonder what I should do next... While getting my revenge on these annoying people is good, I don’t want my grandson to use his power like a tyrant, solving everything with his strength."

Raincart, in the end, chose to think about Noel’s well-being. The Ezenholm family had been targeted by a lot of people, so it wouldn’t be weird for him to feel so frustrated that he would crush at least several of them. Even the king would probably not bat an eye if Noel killed a few nobles to settle this grudge.

However, Raincart didn’t want Noel to become that kind of person.

"My grandson is the kindest... If he were not kind, the Muivell Kingdom wouldn’t be able to stand right now. He, too, won’t stay there. That’s why I wish the best for him..." Raincart had made a decision. He chose to write a letter to Noel.
