After a while, Anna couldn't help but say, "There is one. Though, I don't know if we can acquire it or not."
"What do you an?" Noel first felt relieved before frowning. "Is the one holding it the Muivell Kingdom's royal family?"
"No. The good news is that the one who has it is an ally, the Greenwood Kingdom."
"And the bad news?"
"The one who created it was the Fourth Prince."
Noel looked up, feeling speechless. "Ah…"
If the Greenwood Kingdom was the one holding it, they could use their partnership to trade it or even manufacture it.
However, the problem would be the identity of that creator. If he had to deal with the fourth prince, it could be seen as supporting the fourth prince. No matter how hard he tried to stop them, the princes and the princesses might use that excuse to crush the fourth prince. In addition, he wouldn't be left alone either.
The only reason no princes or princesses ca to him was because Livia had beco his disciple and followed him. With such a condition, she had basically lost her right for the succession. It could be said that the princes and princesses were thankful since Livia was a powerful contender for the throne.
That was why if he tried to acquire it from the fourth prince, he would end up getting dragged into the battle he didn't want, especially in this volatile ti.
"Maybe I should wait for later…" Noel let out a long sigh.
"Let recall my mory about this prince. The Fourth Prince of the Greenwood Kingdom is known to be an inventor. He has a lot of successful research under his belts, mostly toward elents and spiritual energies. A lot of spirit magicians co to him for that very reason.
"While he doesn't have any intention of taking the throne since he is a full ti researcher, his invention has gathered a huge number of spirit magicians. So he becos a powerful contender for the throne.
"In our previous lives, the Greenwood Kingdom hadn't changed its ruler yet. However, the second prince, the fourth prince, the sixth prince, and the first princess have all died… Most likely because of assassinations.
"But this is all I can rember… It's huge news after all. As for the details, you might have to ask other people," Anna explained.
"Mhmm…" Noel pondered. The problem was the fact that the fourth prince would die from this battle. That ant he might be unable to recreate this device.
If he wanted to do it, he had to do it fast. But it would also bring in those other princes and princesses.
Still, Noel couldn't help but say jokingly, "The fourth prince is a good researcher and the second princess is exceptional in a lot of areas. If our kingdom's crown prince is as good as them, he might not bite our bait previously."
Anna chuckled. "The condition of the Muivell Kingdom is rather unstable after all, especially because of the Supre Devil Organization and the Third Prince as well as your family. So I can't really bla them. Still, as a subject, I wish for the royal family mbers to be more competent and focus on developing the kingdom instead of useless greed or lust."
"Indeed. Duke Lorelei would have retired peacefully." Noel nodded.
Anna pondered for a mont. "How about using the Ezenholm family?"
"It might be traced back to ." Noel shook his head. "If we go to the official channel and make a direct request to their kingdom, the nobles will be able to see it as well."
"Are we going to steal it?" Anna asked.
"We need a large number of them if we want to think about future developnts. And if that matter is known, our reputation will go down the drain." Noel rejected her idea again.
"How are we going to procure it then?"
Noel pinched the bridge of his nose. "I'll try to think about it for now."
"Alright then." Anna nodded. It was a sha that they couldn't procure the device right away. The Rune Card might be able to achieve what the current rune technologies and rune magicians couldn't. In fact, it might be a bridge that would connect all of them.
Still, Noel had gotten the new concept. While he couldn't do it right away, he could still try it.
Hence, before absorbing the crystals, Noel created several more cards first. Noel couldn't help but recall his two disciples.
Livia's talent might be in the education of runes, but Tristan might be the leading card maker in the future due to that powerful mory.
While creating several cards, Anna asked, "By the way, I have noticed sothing. The fact that we don't need to use our own spiritual energy to activate them ans we can throw them all at once, right?"
Noel nodded. "Yes. It seems that you've understood what I'm planning to do."
"Sothing like that. I can't help but think of a lot other things like dropping the cards from the airship and activate them midair… If those cards are teor Rune Cards, it will be like a bombardnt, don't you think?" Anna playfully winked.
"Indeed. Still, it wouldn't be so easy to produce the Rune Card. The masters who are able to create it need dexterous fingers."
"What are you going to call them? For the rune user, you call them Rune Magician. How about them?"
"I haven't thought about it. I'm not sure if there is a good na. Maybe sothing like Rune ister for the people who make the cards? The ones who use rune cards… maybe they are just Rune Magicians but on a different path. Why don't you think of a na?"
Anna smiled wryly. "Better not. If I were to na it, I would say a Card Thrower or sothing."
"Put more thoughts into it." Noel let out a long sigh. "Anyway, I'm done making the cards. I'll inscribe the patterns later. You should have seen how I do it as well, so you can try making it yourself."
"Alright. Take your ti." Anna waved her hand, watching Noel walk to the piles of crystals and start absorbing them.
Even though the rune cards would be useful, their priority would be the hunt after all. So Noel didn't want to take too much ti preparing for the cards.
