Chapter 1023 Noel's Choice

Noel blinked his eyes a few times in disbelief. Never in his wildest dreams would he think of meeting this person.

At the same time, he had been hearing a lot of stories about her grandson. After all, her grandson was directly involved in the creation of the kingdoms.

However, in terms of ability, he believed that this person was much greater. He had heard that she was the one who kept the peace in this world. Only because of her death was the world plunged into chaos.

In other words, she might be able to teach him how to defeat all the demons in the world. Or that was what he thought before coming up with the rune technology.

"I am Noel. It's an honor to meet you…" Noel didn't know how to call her. She had heard from his father that he shouldn't really mention anything related to someone's age. But if he didn't call her 'ancestor,' he would be rude. In the end, Milinda appeared before him as a woman in her early twenties.

Milinda chuckled. "Just call me, Grandma."

"Yes, Grandma." Noel immediately complied. An ancestor would be a bit too much, but Miss wouldn't be appropriate. So, she actually chose Grandma, which was reasonable even for Noel.

Milinda looked at Noel's face closely while saying, "It seems that you have suffered a bit."

"This is nothing, Grandma." Noel shook his head, not knowing what to say after this. In the end, he came to this s.p.a.ce for the reward.

As if knowing his thoughts, Milinda said, "In that case, let's move on to your reward. You're here for information, but I can't really tell you everything. That's why let's play it this way. You choose one topic and I will answer everything you ask. Maybe you want to ask about my relations.h.i.+p with the spirits or even the Spirit G.o.d? Ardagan has told you that the Spirit G.o.d personally bestowed on me with the sword, right?

"Or do you want to know about the origin of the spirits? How about the True Spirit Body? You can choose one topic. This is the reward." Milinda explained.

"!!!" Noel didn't expect a reward like this. This was his chance to gain knowledge that no one expected.

At the same time, he was facing a dilemma. On the one hand, he could satisfy his curiosity by discussing a topic that confused him the most. On the other hand, this could be an opportunity for him to gain more knowledge for the sake of the future.

In other words, he had to choose whether he wanted to clear up his confusion or face the future.

Noel fell into deep thought, unable to ask the question that confused him the most.

After a moment, Noel asked, "Grandma… I want to know more about this world. What kind of civilization did we have before the demon's invasion? I heard that it was only because Grandma pa.s.sed away that the world was plunged into chaos. Then, what kind of civilization did you live in?"

Milinda had an amused expression. Even she didn't expect that Noel would ask something like this.

"Why do you want to talk about this instead of any other topics? For example, anything related to spirits or maybe a method to kill all those demons."

Noel shook his head. "I will be lying if I don't want to know about the spirit's secrets, and I also want to know how to kill those annoying demons."

"Then why?"

"Because if I die, I can't ask you another question."

Milinda was surprised that Noel was thinking about life and death. What if she told him that if he died, he would become a spirit?

But before she could ask that question, Noel had continued, "Right now, I am walking on top of a thread. One wrong move will result in my death. Even if it's not imminent, it might set me up on the route leading to my death.

"At the same time, even if I want to kill all the demons, they are currently used as fuel for the new technology. If we kill all of them, we won't have enough fuel anymore. I know that this will only happen far in the future, but at the very least, I want to prolong it as much as possible until they can find an alternative fuel.

"Besides, if I can live long enough, I can get more and more rewards from Ardagan. And I'm sure that I could get another chance to find out about spirits. This is my answer. I hope it doesn't disappoint Grandma."

"Hahahaha!" Milinda laughed out loud as if she were satisfied with his answer. "Alright. Let's talk about civilization in my era."

"Thank you."

Milinda then lowered Ardagan before tapping the ground twice. In an instant, the scenery turned back to a simple, plain white cube.

"Alright. What kind of thing do you want to know first?"

Noel looked down for a moment. "When I explored the ancient ruins, they had a lot of giant buildings, even the tall ones, that our technology couldn't replicate. So, I want to see the city's civilization… Then, maybe, the village and the port. And… I can't think of anything right now."

"Alright. But you have to remember that this knowledge comes directly from my memory. Even if you ask me how they work, I won't be able to explain it to you."

"I understand." Noel nodded furiously.

Now that they had reached an agreement, Milinda tapped the ground again.

The new scenery was being built. The sun was right above their heads. On the right and left sides were two tall buildings. Most of them were made of metal, concrete, and gla.s.s.

And there were a lot of buildings like this as far as he could see.

"This is…" Noel sucked a cold breath. The towering building alone made him feel small.

But Milinda didn't stop here. She produced the people to fill up the city. They were wearing clothes that he had never seen before.

Noel's eyes were glued to one of the women.

"What is this? How shameful." Noel muttered. The woman wore a tight blouse that exposed her cleavage. She even wore a mini skirt that made it almost visible to see what was under it.

"Hahaha. This is normal during the day." Milinda chuckled. She wore a dress that reached her knees because she expected this kind of reaction from Noel.

"Still…" Noel looked down, trying not to get embarra.s.sed like a country b.u.mpkin. But soon, he heard a roar coming from behind. "An enemy attack?"

Noel turned around and saw a metal carriage moving at a fast speed. It was so fast that it could even rival his full speed. "What is that?"

Unlike what he witnessed earlier, there was a similar carriage that moved a bit slowly. This time, he could see several people inside, looking like they were enjoying themselves. And seeing the composition made him believe that this was a family.

"Grandma… Are those people a wealthy family?"

Milinda shook her head. "Nope. They are common people."

"To think commoners can move together with the entire family at that speed…" Noel gasped as he looked down. "And what is this black road? I have a lot of questions."

"As I said earlier, I couldn't explain everything." Milinda reminded him again.

"I know." Noel, although disappointed, moved on pretty quickly. Even just absorbing these new things would give him insight. "Then, is that carriage?"

"Indeed. But we used to call it a car."

"A car, huh?" Noel thought for a moment. "Can't that car be extended to bring a lot of things?"

"Of course." Milinda nodded and waved her hand. This time, a yellow car appeared. She opened the door while saying, "Let's go. I will show you another place."

Noel panicked when he saw her entering the car. He quickly followed and noticed how cool the air was.

"This is…" Noel looked to the front, finding the gaps where the cool air originated. "How do you keep it cool?"

"I'm not sure. Something about cooling gas if I remember correctly."

Noel had thought that his freezer facility was innovative, but he never thought that people could feel this cool even in a moving car.

"Everything here is amazing. I never thought that they were possible. And all of this comes without spiritual energy."

"Aren't you creating something similar to this?"

"Yes, but mine can't be compared to what I see in this place. There are a few things that bear resemblance. And after some more development, there is a chance that they will become like this in the future. But I might not be alive to witness that moment."

"No transformation can be achieved in one night. You just have to keep working on everything you can at the moment."

"Mhmm." Noel nodded. He had an automatic carriage. Even if they couldn't achieve such a speed as of now, future generations might develop it to be similar to what he just saw.

"To be honest, I have a lot of questions, like, How do they clean this city? How does the layout work? How do they maintain hygiene? And a lot of other things," Noel muttered, fully knowing that it was impossible to get that answer.

"Yes. Unfortunately, I can't show you that. For this reward, I will just bring you around the city… and maybe to a small village and introduce their names. The only thing you can do is observe them and try to replicate it."

"Yes. Just like this vehicle. I call my invention the automatic carriage, but I guess it's better to call this a car from 'carriage.' And just by observing this, I can give my va.s.sals an idea to develop." Noel nodded with a serious expression.

"Then, let's go to the train station, a place you'll definitely like." Milinda smiled.
