Elina said, "As you can see, we’re currently in the outer city. Here, you can easily find rides and inns if you need to stay. But safety at night isn’t guaranteed, especially for outsiders. Some bandits tend to loot travelers after dark."
Aaron nodded, his eyes scanning the people around him. He noticed many wore white cloaks, a detail that caught his attention.
As he followed Elina, he could smell the faint fragrance of blooming flowers lining the roadside, a refreshing scent that lingered in the air.
He also saw glowing crystals embedded along the path,
casting a soft orange light that made the city feel magical.
He couldn’t help but ask, "Miss Elina, can I buy those glowing stones?"
Elina raised an eyebrow. "You want to take them back to your territory, don’t you?"
Aaron nodded.
