System vs Rebirth-Chapter 1341: A Deal

"W-Wha—What is this?" The paladins couldn't help but drop their jaws to the ground. It was a 'beast' he had never seen before.

The airship spanned over 10 meters in width and 30 meters in length. That alone would have made it look like a colossal fortress in the sky, let alone with the fact that it was still 8 meters tall.

People who had never seen it before would have been panicking when they saw such a thing. However, this was what Noel had prepared. With this size of the airship, they could transport a lot of things at once, including people.

Even Layla couldn't believe what she was seeing.

"This… this…" Layla took a step back, wondering what she was supposed to say.

"This is our new transportation. After working together with the Greenwood Kingdom for over a year, we finally have them now. It's called an airship. It can transport about 50 tons of items along with a hundred people at once.

"The speed will be slightly slower than a car with that weight, but because it can disregard any terrain, it can reach the destination much faster." Anna explained.

Layla realized she had been had. Noel and Anna trapped her. After seeing such a thing, there was no way Layla could refuse their cooperation.

On the other hand, Noel leaped toward the wall, heading straight to the shocked soldiers first.

Noel took out a document with him, showing it to the shocked soldiers. "Can you call the captain of the city here? This is the official document directly signed by the king. I don't mind if you're going to see it from up here, but if you want an inspection, please wait until I'm finished with my matter here."

With the royal family seal, they had no other choice but to follow Noel's instruction. Then again, they were curious about this.

Noel's reputation had spread in all kingdoms because he was the miraculous lord that made a lot of technology for the sake of the common people.

They couldn't help but wonder what kind of technology he brought with him this time. So, the soldiers hurriedly regained their composure and reported back to their captain.

Once they left, Noel walked straight to Layla. With a smile on his face, he asked, "It's been a while, Saintess. I'm glad that you're doing fine."

"Y-Yes." Layla still had a hard time controlling her own shock.

Anna came to him, reporting everything about the negotiation. Once he understood the problem, Noel raised two fingers. "The time limit… let's set it for three years. During those three years, we'll allow you to use this airship.

"Also, once the contract is completed, we'll lend you this airship for two years as our appreciation for your help.

"In exchange, I hope that your people can also teach our people how to do charity from management to the goods. Of course, the cost of the airship's maintenance will be handled by the Ardagan family. That's what we'll offer.' Noel smiled.

"…" Layla's eyebrows twitched. She had truly been outplayed. It was no wonder why Anna specifically mentioned she would talk about transportation later. "You have really done it…"

Even Layla couldn't put up her facade as the saintess anymore. This was simply too much.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Nathan smiled innocently. "So, do we have a deal?"

The answer was obvious. Even though Noel only lent them for two years after the contract, this cooperation would allow them to get priority if they ever needed the airship. That was right, they might even be able to rent the airship if they agreed with the cooperation.

In case they didn't cooperate, the Ardagan family would have been able to do it themselves, considering they had the history of doing it.

In other words, the reason the Ardagan family cooperated with them was to borrow their name. By bringing the Moon Temple's banner, the Ardagan family could lower the cost of protection since even the kingdoms didn't dare to attack the Moon Temple that easily.

"Can we rent them later?" Layla smiled wryly.

"Of course. Well, by that time, we might have better technology, so as thanks, I'll be prioritizing you for the new one." Noel winked playfully.

It felt like something in her heart had just snapped. Was this the devil's temptation? It was so sweet that she couldn't really refuse it.

Layla sighed. "We'll accept your proposal. We'll help the Ardagan family establish your charity organization. The one in charge of it will be Paladin Aurelia, the head of the Moon Temple's headquarters in the Golden Dawn City.

"To show you our sincerity, I can even come and teach your people the ropes for the next six months."

"That's more like it." Noel smirked. He extended his hand. "I'm looking forward to our cooperation."

"Yeah. Me too." Layla shook his hand helplessly.

"In that case, the details will be taken care of by Anna. The operation will be handled by me. We'll begin one month later, so no need to hesitate to use the funds." Noel nodded before turning around. "Anyway, now that we're done, I need to take care of all the problems I have brought by bringing the airship with me. I have to meet with the captain."

Layla smiled wryly before turning to Anna, who was also smiling as though everything had gone according to plan.

"Should we try it once the inspection is over? You must want to get the feel of operating it so that you don't make any mistakes when we're doing charity, right?" Anna asked.

"Yeah… we should." Layla just resigned herself to her fate.

While Anna and Layla took care of the rest, Noel had to deal with the soldiers as well as the inspection. Fortunately, he received a letter from the royal family, which helped him solve most of the problems. And with the Greenwood Kingdom promising to spread the word regarding the airship, Noel's reputation would soar even higher.
