System vs Rebirth Chapter 362 Hidden Message

Chapter 362 Hidden Message

'You mean the affection medal can see all beings' affections?'

[As long as they're alive.]

'This…' Noel sucked a cold breath because he knew the importance of such a thing. If he could see all living things' affection, it meant he could see the intention of the demons, the animals, and even plants.

With this Affection Medal, he could even differentiate which tree was a hidden demon. In fact, he was satisfied with the plants alone since it was hard to differentiate a normal tree and a demon tree in a forest. He often got ambushed by them, making this medal even more powerful.

But there was something he feared from this medal. With this medal, he could see someone's affection. It was fine if he just looked at strangers. But it would be a different case if they were close to him.

It would be terrifying to know if he could see his wife's affection, which turned out she actually hated him, it would truly scare him for life.

The same applied to his children. So, this was a double-edged sword. There were things he shouldn't know after all.

That was why this medal couldn't be used easily.

With that thought in mind, he continued working with the purification as Paul and Ben came to them, telling them about the agreement.

After understanding the situation, Jonathan began to split the lake into fifty parts with the soil around it.

As agreed, the Valley Master visited them after confirming the result of his research. As the Water Lord, he was already good with water and understood its property, so it didn't take too long for him to know that the poison had truly been removed.

"So, here it is…" The Valley Master muttered while staring at the lake.

As the vice captain, Paul was the one accompanying him. "Yes. Thank you for coming, Valley Master."

"Mhm." The Valley Master nodded. "Well, I have a lot of work to finish after this, so I hope you don't mind if we cut to the chase."

"Of course." Paul extended his hand, asking the Valley Master to follow him to the part Noel worked on.

"h.e.l.lo. We met again, young man." The Valley Master smiled, observing Noel.

"Yes, Sir." Noel nodded. "How can I help you?"

"I'd like to test the water, but there is a possibility that you change the water with the new one in one of these ponds. Although I don't like to doubt you, would you mind if you work on a new part that I choose?"

"Yes, I don't mind if it can erase your worry. After all, we're talking about thousands of lives here."

"Thanks." The Valley Master immediately walked to a certain area. The water soon rose with a single wave of his hand, forming a bubble.

After that, the Valley Master raised his other hand and started waving it up and down. The bubble was wobbling around as if it was trying to mix something into the water.

"Do you know that the poison itself is a powder? The powder is like sand, but not sand either. A portion of them can be dissolved into the water and another portion will remain solid.

"However, the problem is the solid part since it will poison the water again. That's why I agreed with you about draining the lake and leveling up the ground. And with that, all the poison will disappear from the lake completely.

"But something piques my interest because a young man claims he can purify the water. I thought at first the water would be contaminated again by the remaining solid powder.

"Hence, this was the reason I wanted to check your work first before approving this method."

While the Valley Master explained his reason, he formed another bubble with his Spiritual Energy and tried to mix it with the water from the lake.

Surprisingly, the water from Spiritual Energy became muddy as soon as it mixed, showing a reaction.

"This water is indeed poisonous." The Valley Master glanced at Noel. "Why don't you purify this area for me?"

"Understood." Noel nodded with a serious expression as he placed his hand into the water and began using his Purification Ability.

Meanwhile, Paul explained, "Don't worry about the poison, Sir. Our people can lift the soil up. For now, we're just trying to make some simulation."

"Hoh?" The Valley Master smiled. "Actually, you don't have to do that."

"What do you mean, Sir?" Paul frowned.

"I told you the poison couldn't be dissolved completely, right?"

"Yes."

"And in the water sample you gave me, I found the poison that hasn't been dissolved there. To my surprise, the poison has lost its effect."

"!!!" Paul widened his eyes in shock. "You mean…"

"Yes. The Purification Ability is strong enough to make the poison lose its effect. Do you know that when you're diluting your wine with water, you'll get less taste?"

"Yes."

"I believe his ability works the same. The Purification Ability is diluting the poison again and again until the poison is used up and the original poison becomes nothing but normal sand.

"In other words, you don't have to lift up the soil to extract the remaining poison. Instead, you can simply let him do all the work and everything will work perfectly. And right now, I'm trying to see whether my theory is correct or not." He smirked.

Paul was impressed by Noel once again. He never thought Noel had this powerful ability.

It took Noel more than an hour to purify this water, and the Valley Master tested it again, confirming that the water had been successfully purified.

"Alright. I have confirmed it. You've got my approval. I know that it'll be hard for a Spirit Wielder to purify the whole area in an instant, and that's the reason you asked me to extend the time limit."

The Valley Master smiled. "In that case, let me invite you to eat with me tonight. At the very least, I want to thank you for giving me the best solution."

"That can wait until we've purified everything, Sir." Paul smiled awkwardly.

The Valley Master thought for a moment before agreeing. "I know. Fine, in that case, I hope you join me after the work is completed."

"Yes, Sir. We'd love to."

Before leaving, the Valley Master walked to Noel and patted his shoulders a few times. "You're good, Young Man."

He looked like he was praising him, but his head suddenly came closer to Noel's ears as he whispered a few words.

"Haha, I'm looking forward to your work." The Valley Master laughed and stepped back, leaving Noel in shock. No one knew what he said to Noel.
