System vs Rebirth
chapter-187

A moment later, Noel stood in front of a bar and examined the building. He could handle some alcohol, but it had been quite a while since he last drank one. There was a kind of craving for one, but he didn't come here for that.

When he entered the bar, he immediately went straight to the bartender. Of course, he glanced to the sides, seeing people drinking and creating mess with their drunkenness.

Noel ended up ignoring them, placed two coins on the table and said, "Two blizzards."

"…" The bartender furrowed his eyebrows, never expecting the person who ordered it to be this young. But he recognized the coins from the army. It was a special coin and one of the purposes was none other than for the secret code.

"Certainly." The bartender nodded and said, "Unfortunately, we don't have the bottle here. If you want to enjoy it, please follow me."

Noel maintained his calm as he followed the bartender entering a door that led to a deeper part of the bar.

He then knocked on one of the doors and said, "An extra drink."

"Come in," The person inside immediately answered.

The bartender then opened the door for Noel.

But surprisingly, when Noel entered the room, he saw a familiar figure talking with two people.

The familiar figure was none other than Alanton. He furrowed his eyebrows because he didn't expect for Alanton to be here. However, he had some suspicion of Alanton, so he managed to maintain his calm.

Meanwhile, the one who stood across Alanton was a female. She had long brown hair and deep, loving gaze. The white dress couldn't cover her well-endowed body. When their eyes made contact, she winked her left eye and stood up. "Well, what do we have here… To think such a cute guy comes to this place…"

She walked to him as if she wanted to seduce him.

But Noel's focus remained on the guy at the opposite side of this room. He was an old man wearing a plain white shirt and leather pants. He looked like a warm and welcoming guy, but he dressed too neat to visit this place.

"It seems that you're from the army…" The old man smiled warmly, but his gaze was so fierce as if he was trying to see through Noel.

"He's not from the normal army. He's from the Demon Banner Army." Alanton chuckled.

"Oh my. Why don't you come and join this big sister?" The woman hugged Noel's hand and gently dragged him to the chair.

"There's no need. I'm just here for the information." Noel pushed the woman away while glaring at the man.

"No need to rush, little brother." The woman coquettishly persuaded him, but Noel maintained his silence and refused to budge.

The man looked at Noel for a moment and realized the reason why Noel stayed there was due to his position. If he sat down, there was a chance that he couldn't reach the door behind him and escaped.

It seemed that Noel had been preparing for the worst. Despite his identity being guaranteed by both the Demon Banner Army and the normal army, he didn't put his guard down.

Seeing this, the man stated, "If you want to hear the information, it's better to sit down."

"I don't think there's no need for me to sit down." Noel shook his head.

"I made the rule. If you want to hear the information, you have to sit down."

"I can complain to the army."

"They have received the information from me. So, they will just give you the information instead of the army. Who knows if they can give you the same information from word to word."

Noel squinted his eyes and glanced at Alanton. "I see. So, that's how it is. It seems that Mr. Alanton is already aware of my identity and brought me here. If that's the case, then I'll investigate it myself."

"You are not strong enough." The guy harrumphed. "After all, the anomaly is caused by multiple Advanced Level Demons. Do you think you can handle them?"

"Who knows?" Noel smirked as if he was confident in defeating an Advanced Level Demon. Although he didn't want to be complacent about his achievement in defeating an Advanced Level Demon by himself, it didn't change the fact that he did. And now, he had the armor that could increase his fighting prowess, so he had more confidence in defeating them one by one.

"…" The man paused for a moment. "Muivell Kingdom in the west and Greenwood Kingdom in the north. Both kingdoms have been warding the demons for a long time. After all, there's a huge dark territory that we can't explore this whole time due to the insane amount of demons.

"And this balance is going to be broken soon because some demons has utilized the gap between the kingdoms to make their way here. In other words, the border itself is the weakest part they can enter to spread more demons.

"And the one who leads the demons are none other than five Advanced Level Demons. Their general whereabouts have been known, but there's need to be an expert to handle them.

"So, if you want to solve this situation, you have to bring an excellent knight and a squad that can handle all these demons. In other words, if you're going, you should take us with you." The old man stated with a grim expression as if he was ordering him instead of requesting him.

Noel became even more suspicious. "If that's the case, why give the mission to the Apprentice Knight… No, I should ask you a question. Who are you? I don't think this is a coincidence, but you seem to be luring someone to this place."

The man closed his eyes for a moment and said, "To answer your question…"

Suddenly, all of them gave him a big surprise. All of them fell to the ground in one knee, placed their right hand on the floor, and lowered their heads.

They said the same thing. "Please take us with you, Young Master."
