"What''s wrong?" Jonathan furrowed his eyebrows, thinking it wasn''t possible for Noel to purify theke.


    But Noel, on the other hand, said, "I feel like my Spiritual Energy is decreasing, but I don''t think it''s at the level I have to be concerned about. In fact, I might be able to purify this kind of pond more than a hundred times."


    "Seriously?" Jonathan and Ben widened their eyes in amazement. "You serious?"


    Noel nodded. "Yeah. I don''t have any problem in doing it."


    Ben nced at theke. "Just byparing the sample and the size of theke… And the fact that we have two days to work on it… You might be able to purify the entireke. Then again, we have to consider the amount of your Spiritual Energy. If you''re a Spirit Master, taking care of thiske is feasible, but because you are still a Spirit Master… Let''s see, half ake within two days? Someone has to be by your side too."


    "That''s a very rough calction. But I can kind of understand. Either way, we''re going to do the calction tomorrow, so for now, let''s test how much Spiritual Energy it takes for you to purify around three to five percent of theke. And how fast your Spiritual Energy gets refilled…" Jonathan shook his head helplessly. Even though it was good news, he had to make sure that Noel wouldn''t overwork himself too.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    The fact that Noel could purify the entireke alone could change their n. Hence, it was better to discuss the matter with Paul first.


    "That''s true. Though, how about purifying the entireke? This way, we can give the city the best result." Ben narrowed his eyes, having another thought.


    "You''re the one doing the negotiation, Ben. What do you think of the valley master? Is he someone who will ept this and consider this mission a sess? Or is he the type of guy who wants the contract to be fulfilled literally?"


    "I''m not very sure. I might have to go to the castle again to discuss the n and see whether he epts it or not."


    Noel raised his hand. "I think we should have drained a bit of the water instead ofpletely purifying it. If we take a look at our situation, it''s clear that we''re the baits. So, we still have to drain theke to be proper baits, but…"


    Jonathan understood what he wanted after seeing Noel staring at the artificial wall he had made. "So, you want me to dump a lot of dirt into theke and divide theke into several parts? Then, we''ll confirm the draining part just by draining only a portion of theke, while the real workes from you…"


    "Yes," Noel confirmed the n.


    "That''s also a good n." Ben thought for a moment. "I''ll talk to Paul about this n."


    "Also, how do we prove that this water is purified?" Noel asked.


    "We can ask the valley master about it. Usually, he can bring out a few criminals to test this poison. Though, we are often asking criminal who has a death or life sentence."


    "I see. I don''t have any problem with it."


    "Yeah. For now, we''ll continue to test the sample. I''m going to ask you to do a few things for meter, so don''t use too much Spiritual Energy." Jonathan ended their conversation and began to work.


    This was the first time Noel had participated in a test like this. It was a good experience for him, considering he knew how hard it was to solve the poison problem.


    If his territory experienced the same situation, he knew how serious the problem was. Luckily, this water was running through one city, but if there were multiple cities on its path, the problem would be worse.


    As a lord, he had to understand how much he had to prioritize this kind of problem.


    While they were testing the sample, the other three had been going around for a while, trying to find a trace of enemies.


    They could find a few demons here and there, but they couldn''t find any trace of humans around. Zion even climbed the hill to see everything from the top but to no avail.


    They were perplexed and started doubting that the enemy would attack them from behind.


    However, Anna was the only one who didn''t doubt this fact. Noel had confirmed their existence, so she had to find some proof to prepare for their ambush.


    "The city fell in the past. The valley master and the people from the zero squad die… Assuming that the new zero squad is bad, I know I have to save these people. At the very least, Noel will get a better squadpared to the past.


    "But how did they destroy the city? The Superior Demon shouldn''t be able to cause any problem with the valley master protecting the city. Hence, there must be a third party that caused their downfall… It''s just, where are they? Are they staying far away from here so that no one knows their position?


    "But if they are too far from the city, won''t it mean they don''t know what''s going on around here? How do they know the city is under attack?"


    Anna looked down, falling into deep thought. She might not be as clever as Noel, but she was, by no means, a fool. With these facts, she realized something. "Wait a minute. Noel is suspecting the water lord, but the water lord doesn''t have a w in his management… Then, why did he want to die in the past?


    "No, what if he was truly a good lord and the reason why the enemies stayed far away from the city was… because they had a source of informationing from the city. A mole?!" Anna gasped.


    "If the city had a mole, then it could exin how they destroyed the city in my past life. But I have no proof right now, so…" Anna turned around and looked into the distance. "There are only a few paths to enter the city, so they must be camping in one of the paths. It seems I have to go further this time."
