Chapter 612: Weird Object

*Ro—!*

*Arr—!*

The demons were trying to let out some voice, but they ended up dying before they could do anything.

The three members of the Demon Extermination Squad easily killed all the monsters in the hallway with the help of Septa's barrier ability. Meanwhile, Noel couldn't participate in the execution even though he was also a Spirit Master.

In terms of firepower, he might be able to win against them. But in terms of efficiency in killing demons, he couldn't hold a candle against them.

After all, this was the reason why there were so many squads in the Demon Banner Army. They all had their own specialty and became the name of their group.

Still, Noel wasn't someone who took this 'defeat' easily. He kept observing their movement to understand how they moved and killed the enemies so that he could improve himself. His stare and intention were so clear that the three people looked a bit uncomfortable.

Though, they didn't seem to be against the idea, considering they came from the same root, the Demon Banner Army. If the other party became stronger, the entire Demon Banner Army would grow too. So, they weren't that selfish.

After moving for a while, they finally reached the first room.

The room was different from the one they entered earlier. The room was separated into two sections. The second one was separated by a layer of glass.

'Hmm?' Noel looked around the first section. There was a long table inside this room coupled with a few weird machines that seemed to be of the same type. He couldn't help but look around, wondering what they were used for.

When he was not looking, Septa and the other three members of the Demon Extermination Squad had taken out a small piece of paper. Since they didn't have someone with Shale's ability, they had to keep quiet since the demon's hearing was extremely sharp.

As soon as they approached him, Noel glanced at them with a weird expression, wondering what they were trying to do.

Septa pointed at the second section as if telling Noel that they were going to that area.

Since it was a bigger room with a lot more items inside, they might be able to find something. So, Noel nodded while looking around.

The first item that piqued his interest was a small item on the table. Its shape was similar to his pen, so he couldn't help but pick it up, observing it.

'Hmm? This looks similar to my pen. But there is something different from this...' Noel frowned while looking at the inside of the pen. The 'pen' he had was made of wood with a black material inside that allowed him to write on paper. On the other hand, the one in front of him had a translucent body with a small tube inside containing a black-colored liquid. It looked similar to the ink they used in the home.

But the one they had back home was separated. The ink was inside a small container and they needed to dip the tip of the pen to be able to write.

However, the item he found didn't seem to need it since he couldn't find any ink around.

He looked at the pointy tip and couldn't help but try writing on the paper. Unfortunately, there was nothing coming out. As expected of an item from the previous civilization, if they still worked after a thousand years, it could be as good as an artifact.

Instead of focusing on the small matter, he took a look at the second item. This time, the shape was oval. The top looked like a mountain. Noel didn't know why, but he felt the item was made for his hand. He only put his hand on top of the item, but it surprisingly fit.

The bottom of the item was a flat surface with a small hole in the center. He tried to observe every inch of it but couldn't find anything useful.

The surprise came from the tip of the item. It looked like they were separated from the main body, so he tried to apply a bit more pressure on it. And surprisingly, the area slightly moved down, followed by a clicking sound.

"!!!" Noel couldn't help but feel shiver since he had just made a sound. He hurriedly put it down, but not so hard that it would create another noise.

It seemed that his action had been seen by Septa. He couldn't help but return to Noel's position and found the pen on the table.

Septa picked it up and pointed at it as if asking whether he knew anything about it or not.

Noel could only shake his head helplessly, not knowing what it was for.

To his surprise, Septa seemed to be familiar with the item. He spun the tip of the item and pulled out the small tube inside.

He showed it to Noel first and infused his Spiritual Energy into the tube. After a while, he put everything back like before.

After that, he tried to write something on Noel's note. It was still the same, but after more than ten strokes, black ink started coming out of the item, allowing Septa to write Noel's name on the book.

"!!!" Noel opened his eyes wide. He simply couldn't believe what he saw.

Looking at Noel's shocked face as if he was asking, 'How do you activate that artifact?', Septa couldn't help but smirk. He wrote down something.

'It's not an artifact. It's similar to the pen we usually use. I infused my Spiritual Energy so that it can work again, but it doesn't need Spiritual Energy to begin with. The black liquid inside is similar to our ink, but we still don't know about the transparent gel above it. If we can recreate this, we will have something like yours but with the ink.'

Noel was completely shocked. As a noble, he often saw how a careless approach could spill the ink. If such a thing existed, they wouldn't need to worry about it. They could even carry it around so easily. That was why Noel felt it was a revolutionary idea and praised the previous civilization for being able to create such a thing.

Septa continued to write in his notebook.

"The machine here doesn't seem to be useful, so let's enter the second section. It seems to have some drugs..."
