System vs Rebirth-Novel

No one could describe what happened inside that city. The city was ruined by the fight between five Spirit Grandmasters.

Due to the importance of the knowledge, the Sword Arbiter had to challenge the Third Prince.

Although they outnumbered them, the Third Prince had to retreat because of the Sword Arbiter's overwhelming power.

In the end, the two Arbiters had the priority to take everything from the mansion. Unfortunately for them, the battle lasted a bit too long. Everything that could be burned had been reduced to ashes. So, they couldn't find anything from the mansion.

The only thing they could bring back was the small remains from a corpse they found in the office room. They expected him to be the marquis, so they concluded that there was a third party that tried to find the book.

The Sword Arbiter could only report this matter to the royal family.

Though, both the Third Prince and the royal family were facing their own problems. It became bigger when they heard certain information that came from Marquis Walford's city and Count Leinberd's city.

In that place, the knowledge about runes started to spread. They had copied Noel's introductory rune book and spread it to normal people. There were some merchants that carried the books as well. But the most important fact was how some mysterious people actually taught normal people about these runes.

Although they were normal people, these mysterious people only taught the people who had Spiritual Energy in their bodies. So, they were mostly soldiers.

Most of them couldn't learn the runes easily. Even if they could, the royal family and the Third Prince would have returned to the city to interfere.

But there would always be a hidden genius among the people. They couldn't be found before because they didn't have the right environment to grow.

But when they learned about the runes, they started showing exceptional growth. They could even conjure the runes even though they still failed to activate them.

Still, that fact alone turned the entire kingdom upside down.

The Third Prince gritted his teeth before blowing up. "Aaaaaahhhhh!"

He roared to the sky because of this problem. "Who are they? Who are the ones spreading that knowledge? I was supposed to be the only one who monopolized that knowledge!"

The Third Prince wanted to blame everyone, but he certainly couldn't say anything about Noel and Countess Christina. The former had given the book to be checked since he didn't want to harm the Third Prince, while the latter had checked and given the book.

But everything went awry the moment his people received the book as if everything had gone according to someone's plan.

And the biggest suspect was none other than the Supreme Devil Organization.

"We have to impose an information blackout, Sir." One of his advisers came and suggested something.

But the Third Prince snarled, "Do you think we can do that? There are already many people learning about this knowledge. Even the merchants are carrying the book. If the knowledge is spread, I can't monopolize it anymore.

"Whoever that person is must want to spread this knowledge. He must be trying to take away my chance to reclaim the throne." The Third Prince gritted his teeth.

It was already impossible to stop the spread of knowledge. The people would be spreading it mouth to mouth while the merchants would spread the books. Once this matter was known, it would be impossible to find the culprit who did all this.

And the other kingdoms would surely want a piece of it.

He had no doubt that the Muivell Kingdom was strong enough to stop the other three kingdoms for a while, but the problem was that the Greenwood Kingdom had the original Spirit Enchantment Book.

If they found this book and realized Noel could be considered royalty from their kingdom, they would do everything to grab both Noel and the book. In the end, the Greenwood Kingdom would get all the knowledge.

However, he didn't know that Noel had asked his grandfather to spread the knowledge not only in the Greenwood Kingdom but in the other two kingdoms. This way, everyone would get a piece of the pie, preventing any monopoly.

This was Noel's plan to spread the knowledge without doing it directly. His achievement would soar and his name would echo in all kingdoms. It would be risky, but if he played his card correctly, he would be able to gain the biggest benefits.

…

Royal Palace.

The king was also gritting his teeth, having a similar problem as the Third Prince. Although the knowledge was important, the king focused more on the author of the book.

Introductory Rune 1.

Noel Ardagan.

He gritted his teeth before slamming the table. "Ardagan. Even when that family is gone, I still see them. I shouldn't have stopped myself from killing that child… I should have executed Noel Ardagan alongside his parents!"

The king roared. He was angry that everything happened because Noel was exiled instead of executed.

On the one hand, Marquis Stargaze had sent Anna, who became the scapegoat, to chase after Noel. She even personally killed Noel in front of a member of the Demon Relief Squad. On the other hand, Marquis Stargaze had a good relationship with Count Ardagan. He couldn't help but suspect him to be involved.

He never thought that an ant that was supposed to die in the Demon Banner Army would come to bite him again. At the same time, he had no idea what he should do, considering Noel had died.

"Kh…" The king gritted his teeth, feeling frustrated. He wanted to kill Noel, but he couldn't kill a dead person whose remains had already become the monster's snack.

"Immediately impose the information blackout!" The king ordered.

"What? I don't think it's possible to stop them even with a decree. We also have to come up with a story to stop people from talking about it. And how big the area…"

The King stated without hesitation. "The entire kingdom. We can't contain the knowledge in that single city, but we have to stop it from spreading to another kingdom. No matter what, this is our possession!"
