Chapter 82 Second Identity

Chapter 82 Second Ident.i.ty

"Take this mask and ident.i.ty token." Oscar handed him a masquerade and the same token as the one he possessed right now.

Noel received the items, but he had a big question in his head. "Won't this only cover a part of my head? It'll be easy for the others to find out my ident.i.ty."

"No. This is a magical mask. It can also dye your hair and eyes to a different color. As long as you don't take off this mask, it will stay that way. With those two in different colors, do you think there is still anyone who will recognize you after covering a part of your face with that masquerade?"

Noel imagined himself having a different hair color and understood his concern. "I see. As long as the mask is not taken off, I'll be fine."

"Yes. Though, there's no telling what will happen in a battle. Just be careful that the mask doesn't fall off."

"I understand." Noel nodded and inspected the token this time.

"So, my name is Iadre?"

"Yes. That's your new name. So, here is the plan. Every individual mission from now will be completed with your second ident.i.ty. As for the group mission, you'll continue as Noel Ardagan.

"At first, I wanted you to do something big before giving "Noel Ardagan" a deadly mission, so that we could show that you've died. But it'll be hard to hide your ident.i.ty due to your current achievement, considering you hunt together with Anna Stargaze and has been discovered by some soldiers.

"Hence, we'll build up your second reputation over the year before I send you to a deadly mission after graduation. And that's when Noel Ardagan loses his life. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Sir." Noel agreed without hesitation. After Noel Ardagan died, he could go anywhere he wanted and even begin his investigation about his household.

For now, he should endure the inconvenience first.

"Although I already know the answer, do you mind if I ask" Noel paused while looking down, hesitant to talk about it.

"What is it?" Oscar furrowed his eyebrows.

"Do you think you can investigate my family?"

The commander saw his expression and sighed. "Unfortunately no. Although I am the supporter of the Third Prince, I need to stay neutral for most of the time. If I start investigating your family, the royal family might see me as a threat and send their subjugation force. So, there's nothing much I can do."

"I understand." Noel had expected this answer, but he still felt a bit disappointed. With the commander's help, he could get more information faster.

"Although I don't know much about your family, there is certainly a place that you might want to visit." Oscar thought for a moment and raised his finger. "Lienston City. There is a temple in that place and your father often visited that place every year. I'm sure you're aware of that, right?"

"Yes. I only followed him once in a while, but the last time I visited that place was 3 years ago." Noel thought for a moment. "Still, I don't think I can go there right now. After all, that city is in"

"In our neighboring country, Aclain Kingdom. From this place, you need one month of travel just to reach that place. Still, I believe you need to visit that place as soon as possible."

"I understand. I'll think about it."

"That's right. Do you know how to ride a horse? Traveling with a horse is faster than a foot."

"No, I think I'll travel by foot." Noel rejected it for two reasons. He added inwardly, 'I was too lazy to learn how to ride a horse, so I can't ride one right now. And there is a training for running. It'll be better if I can train during my travel just by running. So, there's no reason for riding a horse. Time problem can be solved with proper schedule anyway.'

Oscar furrowed his eyebrows. It was clear that traveling by horse was the fastest way of transport, so Noel's thought was kind of absurd to him. Still, since the person in question had rejected the idea, he didn't plan to pursue it further.

"Since you don't want to, then it's alright. That's all I have to say. The rest of the journey will entirely depend on you."

"I understand. I'll certainly not betray your expectation." Noel nodded with a solemn face.

"Good. Take these two items home along with this and prepare your next journey." Oscar took out two envelopes and put it next to the mask.

"This is" Noel furrowed his eyebrows.

"A letter of introduction as well as the location of the Master Blacksmith. Be sure to use it carefully."

"Thank you. Then, please excuse me." Noel turned around and left the room.

He didn't waste his time in the training ground since there was no obligation for him to train today.

Of course, Noel had no intention to rest today since he had already plenty of rest when Anna was unconscious.

So, the moment he reached his room, he took out the envelope and read the details about the blacksmith.

"The blacksmith's name is Harvard, located in the small village northeast Astary Town. He'll build you everything for free, but if he thinks you're worthy of his best effort, he might ask you to do something for him first before making the armor.

"Give the letter of introduction to him, so he knows that I'm the one sending you there. That's all."

"Astary Town, huh" Noel contemplated for a moment. "I should get a mission near that place then. The sooner I finish my armor, the safer I'll be."

Now that he had confirmed his path, he immediately opened his system to check the reward he got from defeating the Ancient Demon Tree.

Medal: Demon Hunter

Effect: The user is able to detect demons in 50 meter radius.

"Seriously? It's quite big. As expected from a Demon Hunter, it really wants me to continue hunting demons." Noel chuckled before looking at the 7 Skill Points he received earlier. Without hesitation, he put everything to upgrade the Ardagan Swordsmans.h.i.+p.

The information soon entered his mind as Noel could see a few of his flaws get solved by the knowledge he received.

"Swordsmans.h.i.+p, Ancient Techniques, New Spirit Abilities from Ardagan, and helping the citizens I need to do all of them within the next two weeks." Noel clenched his fists, getting fired up.
