System vs Rebirth

"How is it?" Noel asked while looking at Tristan. This time, he was wearing the clothing unique to this kingdom. Due to the harsh condition, the clothing was thin but covered the entire body. Only those who didn't mind the tan would expose their skin to the sun.

Noel also bought some shawls and clothes for himself.

"This is good." Tristan nodded with a serious expression. This might be the first time he had clothes this smooth. Even back in his village, he could only wear ragged clothes since they didn't have enough money. "Can I really wear these clothes?"

"Yeah." Noel turned to the employee. "Can I get two more sets for him along with the same number of women's clothing? Her size is similar to him."

"Understood." The employee helped him pick the clothes without hesitation. Seeing how Noel didn't mind spending a lot of money for a slave, the employee was planning to pick some good stuff that was more expensive.

Despite being that expensive, it only amounted to two gold coins, which Noel could easily pay.

While the employee was taking care of the payment, Noel couldn't help but ask, "Is the parade always held on this street?"

The employee remembered that Noel had to wait until the parade was over. She nodded, "No, Sir. The parade will be held depending on where the group is coming from. So, it can be from the west, east, or south. It's been three months since this street was used."

"I see. No wonder why people are happy… I thought you would be a bit bored after seeing it multiple times." Noel nodded in understanding.

"Haha. We won't ever get tired of it. The parade is not only to celebrate and thank the protector, but also for the occasion of praying for the next harvest."

"How do you become a protector?" Noel asked another question.

While wrapping the clothes, the employee answered, "Unfortunately, I am not aware of the answer. Though, I've heard that you can either rise from the bottom or become the previous protector's successor."

Noel remembered the old man who happened to be a Spirit Grandmaster. "Was the previous protector among those people from earlier? I believe I saw a strong middle-aged man."

"Yes, Sir. It's surprising that you noticed it despite being a foreigner. Sir Reshian was the previous protector and decided to take a successor, Sir Ramirez, three years ago."
