Noel gradually opened his eyes, learning so many things in the last few minutes. He never thought that there was a secret in his body that formed his current power system.
"Now that I know what to do…" Noel smiled and walked out of his room to go straight to the training ground to find Anna.
It didn't take too long for him to meet Anna since the latter was about to knock his door. Yes, Anna was standing in front of his door.
"What—!" Noel was startled as he jumped back in surprise.
"I was about to knock your door…" Anna blinked a few times, staring at Noel dumbfoundedly. "I want to talk about something."
Noel took a deep breath to calm his heart before asking, "Is it important? If it's not that important, we should talk about it on the way."
"It's not very important." Anna shook her head. "So, let's go for a walk."
"Sure." Noel immediately grabbed Ardagan and closed the door. While they were walking to the training ground, Noel asked, "So, what do you want to say?"
"I want to talk about runes."
"Yeah? Are you finally going to tell me from where you learn the runes?"
Anna ignored that question and told him about another thing. "You must have written a book about runes, right? And that book is probably at the Greenwood Kingdom."
"!!!" Noel widened his eyes in shock. Anna knowing about the book was one thing, but her knowing the book was in the Greenwood Kingdom was something that no one should know.
Anna knew this because the first one that popularized the book in her past life was the Greenwood Kingdom.
However, her concern was on another thing. It was the result of the book being popularize. She asked, "Do you have any thought about becoming a royalty?"
"What are you talking about?" Noel furrowed his eyebrows. "Are you high?"
"No. If you have the chance to become a royalty, will you do it? Or let's talk about another example… If the Royal Family is a part of the organization, how much are you planning to go?"
"…" Noel was stupefied by the question. If the royal family was a part of the organization, there was nothing they could do other than starting a rebellion to take down the royal family. After all, it would create a great unrest if the Supreme Devil Organization was allowed to grow even stronger.
However, that also created another problem because the Royal Family's spot would be empty. The best option would be the Third Prince.
But this kind of question made him misunderstand Anna's real intention. She thought Anna was thinking about Noel killing all royal family's heirs to ascend to the throne himself. He said, "It seems that you are trying to start a rebellion, Anna Stargaze."
"Rebellion, huh?" Anna's body was trembling, never expecting that Noel would even mention rebellion. "Did you misunderstand me or something?"
"Huh? Aren't you talking about me being a royalty?"
"Yes. What I mean is that the Greenwood Kingdom might popularize your book and after that, they'll track your history. Knowing that you are the descendant of a royalty, they might grant you the prince title. Since your gene is already far away from the royalty, you are probably going to marry a princess there and become the true royalty." Anna explained her real concern.
"Oh?" Noel nodded in understanding. The rune book was more complete than the Spirit Enchantment Book in the Greenwood Kingdom.
Noel, who knew about this book, was a huge treasure in their eyes. The Greenwood Kingdom would try to do everything to make him a part of them. If they couldn't do anything, he would probably be eliminated. After all, the fact that he knew about the basic runes meant he could develop it even further.
This would be a great threat to all kingdoms. And the best way to protect himself was to become a royalty.
Noel closed his eyes for a moment and said, "I can understand what you're talking about, but my goal is clear. If becoming a royalty can make me achieve that goal, I don't mind becoming one."
Anna looked down with a sad expression. Noel had changed, so she couldn't expect that Noel to reject it like the past life. In the end, she couldn't hold him here.
There was even a greater disappointment that she didn't know where it did come from. She just felt empty knowing Noel would leave.
However, that disappointment disappeared when she heard Noel's next words.
"Unfortunately, being a royalty won't allow me to achieve my goal."
"Eh?" Anna turned to him in shock. "You are not going to be a part of royalty?"
Noel shook his head, confirming it. "I have my goal and that's what I'm going to fulfill."
"I see. That's a relief…" Anna smiled as if a great burden was just lifted from her heart. "Ah, wait. Why did I say it's a relief? The fact that you're not going to be a royalty means you are going to face a harder future, you know."
"Hahaha!" Noel chuckled and said, "That's why I'm going to take advantage of you before graduation."
"Mhm?" Anna furrowed her eyebrows, wondering what Noel had for her.
"What's the best way to get Demon Crystals?"
"Huh? That's your plan?" Anna hesitated for a moment and said, "There are three ways to get a huge number of Demon Crystals. The first would be to hunt it yourself. With that overwhelming power, you should be able to amass a huge number of Low and Mid Quality Crystals. Once you become stronger, you gather Advanced Quality Crystals and repeat it.
"The second way is to buy it with your financial power. As you can see, the reason why the Demon Banner Army is strong because they have a lot of Demon Crystals. It allows them to create a financial power for those sheltered nobles that simply want to get stronger without risking their lives. So, yeah. You can take advantage of this one in two ways depending on your need.
"As for the last one… you can get a lot of Contribution Points and exchange it through the Demon Banner Army. This is the benefit only the knights from the Demon Banner Army will have."
Noel listened to her carefully before a smile appeared on his face. "That's it."
