After an hour, she finally finished talking. She took a deep breath while wiping the sweats on her forehead.

"This is the first time I've had so much fun talking about something." Jasmine looked a bit tired and said, "Do you know that you're very knowledgeable, Noel?"

"I often heard that I'm ignorant." Noel chuckled. "Everything I said came just from my logical thinking alone. Besides, I'm also curious about your experiment. If only I'm rich enough, I would've sponsored you."

"Haha, I won't have any funding trouble for a while. Maybe in the future, you can become my sponsor." Jasmine smirked.

"Indeed." Noel nodded in agreement. "Though, let's get back to the main reason why I come here."

"Ah! That's right, I forgot about it." She facepalmed and hurriedly explained the mission. "There seems to be a change in this volcano. I'm not very sure about it, but this mountain has been controlled by a hawk. It often flies around, so we usually got into shelter so it didn't find us.

"But two months ago, we stopped hearing anything from the hawk. And the animals around the mountain have been more active recently."

"So, you're assuming that the demons have gotten involved?"

"Yes. It seems that the demons have infested this mountain. However, we can't confirm it just yet because it's extremely dangerous to climb the mountain right now."

Noel thought for a moment. "I see. I can understand the situation. For now, I can't say anything until I investigate the mountain."

"How long will it take for you to investigate the area?"

"Hmm?" Noel looked down, contemplating. 'I have Demon Hunter Medal for now, so I can simply run around the mountain while relying on my medal to do the job. But this volcano is a bit too big…'

After making some rough calculation, Noel answered, "I probably need a whole day to investigate it."

"A whole day?" Jasmine was dumbstruck, looking at Noel as if he just said something ridiculous.

"Is it too long? Well, I can probably compress it to twenty hours. But that might put me in danger as well because I'll be exhausted and won't be able to fight any demons."

"No, no. Don't you think it's ridiculous to investigate the mountain by yourself? I mean, I can understand if you tell me you need a week or something. But a whole day?"

"Yes?" Noel tilted his head in confusion. "I have my own method to investigate the area."

"…" Jasmine fell silent and nodded. "Well, I'm no expert in this matter, so I'll leave everything to you."

"I understand. I'll also try to find any trace of the hawk while doing so. Anyway, there are a few villages around the mountain, right?"

"Yes. There are a total of eight villages scattered at the foot of the mountain."

"Anything I have to be concerned with?"

"Not at all. If they stop you or anything, please tell them that Jasmine is responsible for you. Even though I stay in this village, I spread the method, you know. So, they should know my name."

"I understand." Noel nodded. "Alright. I'll start investigating right now."

"Why don't you get some rest for the time being? You must be tired after traveling so far, right?"

"No, it's fine. I'll just leave the horse here and start moving around." Noel stood up, preparing to leave.

"In that case, I'll inform the village about your situation. You can do whatever you want."

"Got it. Then, please excuse me." Noel waved his hand and walked out of the house. After handing the horse, he began climbing the mountain while using his Demon Hunter Medal to find any demons near him.

Still, the terraced fields truly impressed him. Even though he was running around, he kept glancing at the terraced fields. In his previous territory, there were a few mountains and one of them was a volcano. It would be useful to implement this method in the future.

And he also confirmed that other villages also implemented the same thing, allowing them to be able to maintain their farm without too much labor.

After he felt enough, Noel began to focus on the investigation. Due to his Demon Hunter Medal that allowed him to sense all demons within fifty meters, he could simply run around the mountain in a straight line before climbing for another one hundred meters and repeating the process until he reached the top.

The amount of time to run around the mountain would become less and less since the mountain looked like a cone.

Noel's speed was fast and he was nimble enough to avoid all kinds of obstacle he would find in the mountain.

It didn't take too long for Noel to confirm Jasmine's words as he found the first demon four hours after he began investigating.

Noel didn't hesitate to kill the Low Level Demon before continuing his investigation. As expected from the mountain that had been infested by demons, the higher he climbed, the more dangerous it became.

More and more demons were spotted. And the problem was the demon infesting this mountain was not only Low Level Demons. There were even some Mid Level Demons that an Apprentice Knight would have a hard time to kill.

Unless the people that went on this mission was people like him or Lokhar, it would be impossible to complete it.

But since he was Noel, he wasn't afraid of them. In fact, Noel was expecting an Advanced Level Demon because that was the only one that could control this mountain.

"Still, how did the demons come here?" Noel muttered while running. "It's true that it's hard to keep all borders in check and the demons must pass through the gap and infested this mountain. But we're talking about Advanced Level Demon… I can understand Low Level Demon and Mid Level Demons since they can be killed pretty easily. But Advanced Level Demon…"

Noel narrowed his eyes, feeling something wrong.

And that feeling was proven right after he questioned it. The Demon Hunter Medal suddenly picked a strong presence that made Noel instinctively stop and hide behind a tree.

'This is…'
