"That was exhilarating!"

"It's a pity the instance time ran out."

After returning to the white space, Liens burst out laughing, his face full of lingering excitement.

Because the mage in the air didn't interfere, Liens and Nimophila fought until the instance time ended, without a clear victor.

Liens hadn't experienced such an evenly matched battle in a long time.

In fact, with his current strength, finding a suitable opponent was quite difficult.

Those above him, like the old man from the Glenbagen Family, would only crush him.

And those below him, besides Lucrezia who might pose a slight challenge, the others, while not exactly crushed, would generally not be much trouble.

The truth was that Liens, due to the Wind Element's transformation slowly compensating for his physical weakness, had already become overpowered for the Knight stage.

Just by seeing his Sword Ki and "Wind Wall," one could tell how vast the difference was between him and other Knights.

While others were still focused on physical attacks, he had already started playing with elemental attributes.

And Nimophila was actually able to fight him, who was almost half a Great Knight, to a draw.

This couldn't help but make Liens marvel at the power of Priests.

Initially, Liens' impression of Priests was that they were mages whose words became reality.

It was only now that he realized Priests also had very strong physical attributes.

It seemed that a higher-ranked power like "Divinity" didn't just have the effect of "Elemental Control."

...

Liens got out of bed; after a period of rest, the fatigue in his body had significantly lessened.

Next, he planned to stroll around the town and purchase some supplies.

Especially clothes; the few sets of clothes he brought from Kara City had undergone a "baptism" in the Monster Forest.

They were already dirty and tattered.

Many places had holes... If Liens hadn't carefully protected them, their fragments would have long since been carried away by the wind.

Although he no longer cared as much about changes in external temperature, clothes existed not only for warmth but also for covering the body.

In the recently concluded instance, by the time he and Nimophila finished fighting, he was almost in a state of streaking.

If he hadn't been immersed in the battle at that time and hadn't cared about such minor details, he would probably have been so embarrassed he'd dig out a three-bedroom, one-living room apartment.

He merely had a low moral bottom line and might also be a murderer, but that didn't mean he was a pervert who enjoyed streaking.

Of course, the reason he was still in the mood to go out shopping and buy clothes for himself was also due to Nimophila's existence.

At Liens' current level, he wasn't qualified to comment on whether the Four Great Powers were good or bad.

But they did, to a large extent, represent justice and stability.

The decree prohibiting Extraordinary Ones from wantonly killing ordinary people was also first issued by them, with other powers and Extraordinary Ones subsequently responding.

Therefore, they would not violate this decree, at least not openly.

Thus, since Nimophila appeared in this town and even helped the mage who was setting up the ritual, it indicated that this large magical ritual was not too dangerous.

At least it wouldn't directly harm the residents of the entire town.

So, although he hadn't figured out the specific purpose of this magical ritual, it shouldn't pose a threat to him either.

This was the sense of security that major powers provided.

With this assurance, Liens' heart naturally relaxed. The full series is hosted on My Virtual Library Empire, known as *.

With money in his pocket, after asking a few passersby, Liens quickly arrived at the town's clothing store.

At first glance, seeing Liens in rags, the shop assistant thought it was another lazy idler from town trying to sneak away clothes to sell.

So, the shop assistant intended to drive Liens away.

Then, with another glance, he saw the longsword Liens was holding.

He also considered the current temperature; how could an ordinary person dare to go out in rags that provided no warmth?

Realizing something was amiss, he stopped his impulse and immediately observed Liens' appearance closely.

He saw that Liens' face was unfamiliar, and although his clothes were tattered, his exposed skin was not dirty, and there were no signs of him being cold at all.

More importantly, he felt a congenial aura from Liens.

It was like a gentle breeze, making one feel very refreshed and at ease.

"Guest, you look very unfamiliar. Are you a traveler who just arrived in town?"

Seeing Liens' extraordinary demeanor, the shop assistant quickly stepped forward and greeted Liens with a smile.

"Yes, I'm an Adventurer, and I happened to come to this town."

"My clothes are quite worn out, so I specifically came to the store to buy a few suitable sets."

Liens smiled as he explained his purpose to the shop assistant.

"You've come at just the right time... The store has just received a new batch of clothes. They're light, warm, comfortable to wear, and very much in line with current aesthetics."

"They're absolutely perfect for an Extraordinary One like yourself."

"Come, come, let me show you. If you see anything you like, or if there's anything you're not satisfied with, or if you have any special requests."

"Just tell me, our store will definitely meet your needs."

Saying that, the shop assistant began to lead Liens and introduce the styles of the clothes.

As for the shop assistant's sales pitch, Liens smiled noncommittally and said nothing.

No matter how well you praise them, I can't afford the expensive ones.

So, without waiting for the shop assistant to slowly finish talking about their "store's treasure," Liens chose two sets of ordinary black and gray clothes.

One set for winter, one for summer; both looked durable and not easily soiled.

"How much do these two sets of clothes cost? If they're not expensive, I'll take three sets of each."

Liens pointed to the clothes he had chosen and asked the shop assistant for the price.

A hint of regret flashed in the shop assistant's eyes, but he quickly gave his answer:

"The thick ones are 2 silver coins, and the thin ones are 1 silver coin. For three sets of each, the total is 9 silver coins."

"Oh, and guest, we also have undergarments here. Do you need any?"

"Then I'll take a few," Liens replied.

"Alright, with 5 undergarments, the total is 10 silver coins."

The shop assistant said while quickly packing Liens' items.

And as Liens took out his wallet, just about to pay, he suddenly remembered...

Could money from the Hartwin Kingdom be used in the Neil Kingdom?

An instant wave of embarrassment washed over him. Liens was caught between taking it out and not taking it out.

The shop assistant saw Liens take out his wallet but not pay, and his eyes immediately became suspicious.

However, considering that Liens was still carrying a longsword and was not someone to be trifled with.

So, he merely cautiously asked Liens, "Guest, is something the matter?"

Hearing the shop assistant's question, Liens decided to go all in, took out 10 silver coins from the Hartwin Kingdom, and handed them to him.

Then he picked up the clothes placed aside and walked straight out.

As confident as he was when he came in, that's how embarrassed Liens was the moment he walked out.

The shop assistant counted the silver coins in his hand; it was indeed 10 silver, so he didn't stop Liens from leaving.

It wasn't until he carefully examined them that he discovered the pattern printed on the silver coins was incorrect.

Frightened, he immediately ran out of the store, wanting to find Liens.

Unfortunately, by the time he got outside, he couldn't even see Liens' shadow.

"They're all silver coins, so it shouldn't be a big problem, right?"

The shop assistant comforted himself uneasily.

Then, he immediately turned back into the store and put the money into the cash register.

No matter what, this money couldn't be stuck in his hands, otherwise, he would have worked for almost nothing for the past few months.
