System vs Rebirth-Novel

It felt like they had finished discussing their plans. However, there seemed to be another surprise the fort had to offer.

Suddenly, Dimitri turned around, glancing at the outside. Rose followed that action, feeling the same thing.

"We have a company…" Dimitri muttered. "I am going to leave right now, Young Master. I don't know what he is planning to do, but seeing how he has been helping you this whole time, I think it's fine to leave you for the time being."

After saying those words, Dimitri disappeared, not waiting for Noel's reply.

Rose was still confused. Although she could feel the presence, she couldn't determine the person.

So, Rose looked at Noel with a serious expression. "I am going to open the door. Please stay inside for the time being."

Noel nodded and moved toward the drawer as if he was trying to hide. It didn't take too long before that presence arrived at their door.

*Knock!*

*Knock!*

It was surprising for the person to arrive precisely at their room. This was the first time they had slept in this inn, so unless the other party had a good information network that allowed him to locate them, it was impossible to find them.

Rose gulped down. She opened the door cautiously.

"Y—" But before she could ask for their purpose, she ended up getting shocked. Her body became tense and she couldn't help but blurt out the visitor's identity.

"C-Commander!"

"!!!"

The people inside the room were shocked by his identity. Meanwhile, the commander maintained his poker face as if he had predicted their reaction.

Instead of explaining things, he asked, "Can I enter?"

Rose was hesitant. But she also remembered what Dimitri had said earlier.

Before she could answer, Noel had walked to the front door while saying, "Please come in."

"…" Rose glanced at Noel for a second before opening the door wide, so the commander could enter.

This was the first time she could meet the commander privately. But considering the Ardagan Family's influence, it was possible that the commander was also an ally.

So, she decided to let Noel take over.

After the commander entered and Rose closed the door, Noel politely bowed to him and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Commander Oscar. How can I help you?"

"I know you are in this fort after hearing the report. Actually, I am here to tell you about three things that you might or might not be aware of." The commander glanced at Rose, who seemed to be trying to prepare something to drink. He waved his hand as if telling her not to prepare one since he wanted to leave as soon as he was done.

"I understand. I don't think the commander would like to waste his precious time, so let's cut to the chase."

"It's great to talk with someone with that mindset. Alright then." The commander raised his fingers. "The first one is related to the Supreme Devil Organization.

"After getting that suspicion and report, we have deemed that the Demon Relief Squad is in a terrible position.

"Hence, your operation will be extremely limited since we don't want to lose our precious knights.

"I have told Clara about this, but I'm going to tell you too since you are on their watch list. Are you aware of your identity?"

Noel nodded with a darkened expression. "Yes. In addition to the recent events, I believe I know why they are putting me on their watch list."

"In that case, it will make this simpler. From now on, you should get ready to be ambushed by the Supreme Devil Organization. Septa has been investigating the Supreme Devil Organization, but I don't think we can know the exact time of the ambush.

"So, you can only rely on yourself to fend them off. Do you understand?"

"Yes." Noel already knew that his life was in danger after hearing about his uncle from Dimitri. So, he had been planning his trip carefully. And with Dimitri on his side, he doubted an ambush would work. But he would still need to consider the worst case scenario.

"Then, the second warning is still about the Supreme Devil Organization. After a series of investigations, we have found out that the enemies are trying to use the Demons to fight us.

"In other words, they are going to wear us down by using the demons before dealing a huge blow to us.

"I don't have any doubt that the Demon Banner Army will be able to hold on, but I'm afraid the damage will be quite great.

"And I wonder if you have some information about the Supreme Devil Organization that can help us find out about their next plan?"

Noel closed his eyes for a moment. He could understand why the commander was suspicious of him.

After all, the place he went, whether it was a normal village or a fort under the Water Lord, everything was related to the Supreme Devil Organization. And he ended up messing with their plan.

On the one hand, he decided half of their destinations. On the other hand, he truly had no idea the situation would be like that.

But he had already noticed something. He remembered Anna was able to predict the future correctly.

He believed Anna could either see the future or experience it herself. Unfortunately, he had no way or intention to investigate the truth like how Anna respected his boundary by not asking anything about the system.

However, it didn't change the fact that he could gain some information from Anna's prediction. And if he could somehow trigger Ardagan into giving him a mission related to the Supreme Devil Organization, it would be perfect.

Though, he had to make sure he wouldn't become one of the suspects.

'Wait a minute. What if I used my parents' former influence to create an alibi? And it is possible to trigger a mission from Ardagan by using a special circumstance…

'If I play this right, I might be able to get more information about my parents and the organization.'

Noel was shocked as he had just found a loophole.
