Rein thought for a moment and decided to use two hundred Merit Points to exchange for a set of wear-resistant chrome iron Knight Armor. This set, consisting of eight pieces, was priced at two hundred points.
Additionally, he planned to spend a thousand Merit Points to order a high-class set of Knight Armor made from a special material called water membrane steel, which was resistant to high temperatures and corrosion.
The reason for this naturally took into account the influence of the Cult of the Black Flame.
Nevertheless, with this transaction, Rein’s seemingly ‘enormous’ total of 1489 Merit Points was also not really sufficient for extensive spending.
By then, only 89 Merit Points would remain.
Indeed, Merit Points (money) are
hard to earn, yet particularly easy to spend.
After some thought, Rein said, “A set of chrome iron Knight Armor.”
“Alright, Lord Reine, which size do you need for the chrome iron Knight Armor set? Currently, we have the 180 model, 185 model, and 190 model in stock; you can get them right away,” the ponytailed civilian girl asked.
“The 185 model!” Rein decided to choose a slightly larger size since he was still growing.
It would be embarrassing if it became too small in less than a month.
As for the muscle expansion during outburst, this was already taken into consideration in the design of the Knight Armor, so its inner lining was made of soft, elastic multi-layer lambskin.
It would not present a problem for handling the muscle expansion triggered by a knight’s ‘breaking limit.’
“Very well, Lord Reine,” the girl said with a sweet smile, recording the order for the chrome iron set.
Just as she thought Rein had finished exchanging, she heard him add, “Plus, an order for a set of high-class Knight Armor made of water membrane steel.”
“Er… Lord Reine, you… you want to order a high-class suit of Knight Armor?” the young female staffer reconfirmed.
Apparently hearing the word “order,” other female staffers nearby also turned their gazes towards them.
A few young people who were exchanging at the officer window also looked at Rein, their faces filled with envy.
He seemed younger than them but was able to exchange for a high-class custom set of Knight Armor.
“Yes,” Rein nodded in confirmation.
“The custom order is estimated to take two months, Lord Reine. Is that acceptable to you?”
Rein nodded again.
“Then please follow me, as it’s a custom order, we need to take measurements of your height, weight, and other sizes.”
Oh?
Measurements needed?
Well, fine, high-end goods are different!
Rein followed the ponytailed civilian girl into a separate small room next door, similar to a changing room.
The ponytailed civilian girl quickly started taking measurements earnestly.
“My lord, please stretch out your arms.”
“Height 180 cm, chest circumference 130, leg length…”
All of Rein’s body parameters were recorded one by one.
When measuring the leg length, the crouching civilian girl suddenly blushed and looked up to ask, “Lord Reine, normally, do you prefer it on the left side or the right?”
Huh?
Left side or right side?
At first, Rein was confused, but then, following the girl’s gaze, he immediately understood and said, “Ah… can it be placed in the center?”
“That’s possible, we just need to make a separate cup guard. I’ll make a note of that,” she said while taking notes, a blush appearing on her face.
For some reason, Rein suddenly found the civilian girl crouching before him, taking measurements, quite alluring.
Could it be because his physical functions had greatly improved after becoming Transcendent?
While Rein was being measured in the changing room, he saw two persons dressed as City Guard officers entering the military supply hall through the crack of the door.
Rein casually glanced at them and then moved his gaze away.
The City Guard, although like the Night Watchman, belonged to the Imperial Internal Defense Forces, they were on different paths. Rein had never interacted with the City Guard, so he naturally did not pay special attention.
The two of them seemed to be waiting for something and were not in a hurry to get it done; they were chatting leisurely.
“Zelko, have you heard? Recently, the relations between the Empire and the Federation seem a bit tense, and there seems to be frequent mobilization of the Imperial Navy,” one said.
“Is that so? It’s the first I’ve heard of it,” the one named Zelko responded, seemingly not taking it seriously.
After all, such rumors occurred eight or ten times a year, but none of them ever turned out to be true.
“My nephew was originally stationed at Lancaster Naval Base, but now he has been transferred to our county. It’s what he told me,” the middle-aged officer said, seemingly adding more to convince the disbeliever.
“Hmm? If it comes from someone inside the Imperial Navy, then it should be quite credible,” the youth named Zelko replied, looking a bit more serious and pondering for a moment.
Although Rein was quite far from the two, his keen senses had picked up their conversation clearly.
The Federation?
The Eagle Federation across the sea?
Are relations tense?

Is there going to be a war?
Surely not…
After a little consideration, Rein realized that in event of war, Meister County could indeed be in danger because a large part of the county was coastal, such as Fishing Port Town which lay adjacent to the sea.
He had heard before that Kuzma, the former sheriff of Flashgold Town, had been transferred there.
When Rein and the ponytailed civilian girl emerged from the changing room, the two City Guard officers immediately ceased their conversation as though they did not want Rein and the others to overhear the news.
