After the deal, Leonard stuffed the body of the Crimson Wraith in his storage ring.

Dante then took out the other two corpses of a fox and a Wolf.

Leonard sized up their bodies, before saying.

"Hmm. A three tailed Fox and a Wind Wolf.. Their body condition is not that bad. How about 70 Luminal Essence? Although they are useful in making basic potions , they are far inferior to the Crimson Wraith which is an Exotic Creature. "

Dante nodded a little as if he beforehand knew the information and replied,

" Although they are not rare creature and are quite common, their bodies are not that dismembered as you have mentioned.

...Seeing that you also have to sell them for a profit, how about 100 Luminal Essence? "

" This is a good price for two corpses. I can't go any lower than this. "

Leonard hesitated for a second, before closing the deal.

"Also while I was travelling, I stumbled upon this flower. What do you know about this? "

Dante took out the flower that he got up from the pond and carefully showed it to Leonard.

Leonard's eye sized up the flower for a whole moment before his eyes shone brightly.

"Sir, your luck is very good. This is not an ordinary flower but an Imperial Essence Lily that can purify the Essence and increase the attacks of even a Nodesmith. "

"Are you willing to sell it? Although I don't have any need for it, I know someone who would be willing to buy it from you. But obviously, I will charge some fees for that. "

Leonard gazed towards Dante's with shining eyes that dimmed very quickly as he heard Dante's reply.

"No need for that. I am not planning to sell it for now. "

With that, Dante then took the 180 Luminal Essence and stuffed them into a bag that Leonard gave him and left the area.

After some time of walking, he arrived in front of the Exchange Area. It was a place where you can convert your Luminal Shards to Radiant shards or Luminal Shards to Bits or Radiant Shards to Etherial Shards.

The exchange area was a dome shaped structure, that was supported by two massive golden towers which had carvings of a Lion and a Dragon fighting. The dome was made of a glass like structure but had a light blue colour. On top of the Dome was a board in which, ' Solar Exchange ' was written in bright golden colours.

Dante entered the Exchange area and found that it had the same crowd as the Solar Square but compared to the former, it was more organized. There were several counters, above which were written ' Luminal Shards to Radiant Shards Counter ' , 'Radiant Shards to Ethereal Shards Counter ' and other exchanges. Several people were standing at the corner with a warm smile. They were wearing a formal attire with the seal of the Royal Family.

Solar Exchange is managed by the Royal Family... Is it also the same for Solar Square?

Dante thought for a moment before he swiftly walked towards the counter on which 'Luminal Shards to EssenBits Counter ' was written.

This confused Dante for a moment, before he came to a conclusion.

Hmm...Although it's EssenBits, people like to call it Bits. Haha

Dante thought about the Bits from his previous life and chuckled inwardly.

The counter had a small line so he calmly stood on the line, waiting for his turn.

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

After few moments, it was finally his turn. The girl at the counter greeted him with a smile.

" Welcome Sir. How much Luminal Shards do you want to exchange into EssenBits? "

" i want to exchange my 30 Luminal Shards to EssenBits. "

Dante gave her the amount and she nodded.

She took out a Tray which was full of small shards of Grey colour, red colour and white colour. She counted them for a moment before handing them to Dante.

" Here are your 2850 Essenbits. The remaining 150 Bits have been deducted due to the Exchange Tax. Hope you understand."

Dante nodded at her before stuffing them into the bag that Leonard gave him.

She then leaned on the notebook that was on her side, with a quill on her hand.

" Can I get your Name, Sir? "

"Dante Marcellus "

After giving all the necessary information, he left the Exchange area.

A 5% tax on the exchange... The Solarionis Kingdom really is a developed kingdom..

Dante thought for a moment before he gazed at the EssenBits on the small bag.

He then recalled the information form the Rulebook.

Grey shards are worth 1 Bits, White shards are worth 5 Bits and Red shards are worth 10 Bits...

Without wasting any time, Dante first walked throughout the area looking for a Place to eat.

He then stumbled upon a small building on which ' Solar Grill ' was written.

Am I in some kind of paradox? Solar square, Solar Exchange, Solar Grill....

Dante was dumbfounded of the names of places in the kingdom. He then shook his head with a smile and went inside the House.

Squek

The door opened revealing a place filled with people who were chatting, eating food and drinking beer.

Dante gazed at the counter which was managed by an old lade that looked to be in her 40's and her husband that looked the same age as her.

He quietly sat down on a chair whose table was empty and rang the bell that was at the center of the table.

After a few moments, a young lady came to ask him for his order.

" Uh, Give me something that your store is famous for, and some other complementaries."

She nodded and gave the order to the Old lady at the counter.

After some time, she came back again with a plate and other utensils.

"This is our store's special food. This is the ' Sunfire Steak ' . Along with this, here is the Luminara Soup and a Starlight Elixir. Hope you enjoy your meal here! "

She gently smiled before leaving.

Dante frowned again.

Sunfire steak is also in the list now...

He laughed quietly before munching on the food.

The Sufire Steak was like beef from his previous life but more juicier and had a little more texture. This was the tastiest thing that Dante had ever ate.

The Luminara soup on the other hand glowed a little and hence justified it's name Luminara Soup. It's taste was although not comparable to the Sunfire Steak, it was still tasty nonetheless.

The Starlight Elixir was glittering a little and hence its name— Starlight. It's taste was just like Coffee but it was much more refreshing and soothing.

After finishing his meal, Dante leaned back on the chair and relaxed as he heard the sound of the people near him.

" I was just fired from my job! Do you know why? Because I slept for a few minutes. This is bullshit! "

" This is not bullshit! Who the hell sleeps in a middle of a guard shift? You deserved it! "

" Did you know that King Aldric has invested 50,000 Etherial Shards in the "Lunar Wardens " ? It seems that something is brewing in the kingdom. "

" Seriously? How did you know about that? Aren't those information supposed to be top secret? "

" It was this morning. I was just going to work, when a man stopped me and asked me the directions of the Royal Palace. When I told him that I didn't know, he just told me about this out of nowhere. I don't even know if what he said was true or not... "

" Huh? That was a strange encounter you had. How did that man look like? "

" I don't know much except the fact that his eyes was green. His face was covered with a black mask. I couldn't tell much about that. "

" Then, why the hell are you spreading this information here?! Don't you know that if the word were to spread about this, then even if it was false you would be heavily punished! That's why, Shut up and don't ever talk about this! "

Hearing this, Dante who was leaning on the chairs shuddered slightly.

Green eyes..... It can't be that man, right? The one I asked the direction for Solar Square...

Dante then shook his head.

It's highly unlikely for him to be the same person. But I can't be too sure. The king Aldric has invested 50,000 Etherial Essence in the Lunar Wardens.. Also what the hell is Lunar Wardens? A squadron? .... Is something stirring in the kingdom? Was this the reason for the red huey on the kingdom in my divination?... I can't be sure about anything.

Dante got up from his chair and paid one Luminal Shard and 20 Bits for the meal and left the restaurant.

He then shopped for some clothes on various shops and bought 3 different Tuxedo which had a unique design and hats which complemented them.

The first one had a sleek, single-breasted jacket featuring satin peak lapels. The ensemble is completed with a crisp white dress shirt and a black silk bowtie.

The second one was a midnight blue velvet tuxedo. The shawl collar added a touch of elegance and was complemented by a black silk cummerbund and a matching bowtie.

The third one was an ivory-colored tuxedo jacket paired with black trousers. The ensemble is adorned with black satin details on the peak lapels and a black silk bowtie.

It costed him a total of 10 Luminal Shards as they were a little high quality.

Its going to be night time soon. I should first find a hotel to stay in. Then tomorrow, I would search for means to enroll in an academy...

Dante walked around for a bit and finally found a place. The name of the place was Radiant Haven Inn. It was a a building that had a mixture of yellow and a dark red mixture and an intricate design on the top on which the name of Inn was written.

He entered the Inn and headed to the counter which was managed by a man who was in his 40's. Upon seeing Dante, he immediately got up from the chair and greeted him.

" I am looking to stay here for a day, including dinner. The room should be medium size and not too big. What will be the price? "

The man on the counter nodded before replying,

" Sir, A medium size room including a dinner will cost you 8 Luminal Shards per night."

Dante nodded before paying him and took the keys of his room.

" Room 32 is in the first floor at the right side. "

Dante then went to his room and opened it. He was greeted with a room that was medium size as he had desired. It also had a bathroom and a place to bath on. The room also had a small table and a chair with a medium size beds with 2 pillows. The bed was made of a material that was similar to silk.

Dante nodded seeing his room before diverting his attention to the bathing area. The bathing area had a blue crystal on the top and a small circle on the wall. The small circle had a few symbols on its circumference that glowed slightly.

This blue crystal is responsible for the creating water. The circle must be some kind of switch...

Dante concluded before he jumped on the smooth and comfortable bed and closed his eyes. In just a few moments, he fell asleep.
