They continued to walk down the winding, narrow street. Soon, they came upon an intersection. Ameria looked around the area until her eyes fell on something.
"Ah, there it is," They heard her say. When they looked at where she was staring, it was an old street lamp that had one of its glass faces broken.
They followed Ameria, who took a left at the lamp. Which lead to a bigger street. They walked down the street until they saw it open up to a huge plaza. Many stand-alone stores can be seen dotted about, and lots of stores can be seen lining the circumference of the area. In the middle is a huge fountain with waters that dance unnaturally, Nirra guessed it was due to magic runes underneath said fountain. Many people came in and out of the stores to buy items and objects that would suit their needs.
"Bigger than the one in Redfied, right?" Ameria smiled as she looked at the twins' reaction.
"A lot bigger," Ellie said while looking at the fountain.
"Yeah," Nirra commented, taking a look at some of the stores. She saw stores that even sold metals she needed for crafting, like Brass, Steel, Iron, and Copper, but most importantly, she also saw a store that sold three of the metals she needed to craft more ammo and introduce smokeless powder to her weapons. Talc, Tin, and lead
"Hey, sis? You're spacing out again," Ellie said as she waved a hand near Nirra's face so she could get her attention.
"Ah, sorry about that." Nirra looked away as she rubbed the back of her head in embarrassment.
"Let's take a stroll around, shall we?" Ameria said.
"Yeah, let's go," Ellie replied, and they were off to explore the shopping district for notable shops.
They saw many signs that showed the names of the shops they were passing. 'David's Wood Emporium, 'Flow's Plant and Pottery', and 'Solaris'Music Heaven', To name a few
Eventually they heard someone's stomach rumbling, and they turned to the source of said sound, which was Ellie, who had been holding her stomach in surprise.
"Uhhh, sorry," she said with a smile.
"I am feeling a bit peckish too," Ameria said while gazing at Ellie.
"Yeah, let's find a place to eat," Nirra said, and the moment she said the word eat, the small Vulpen on her shoulder woke up, his secondary colors changing to green.
"Mofuuuu," they heard him yawn.
"I guess he's hungry as well," Ameria chuckled while she looked at the fox.
They searched the area for a good place to eat until they came up to a small, stand-alone restaurant that had been serving grilled food.
"Hey, let's try that one," Ellie said as she pointed at the shop.
"I don't see why not." Nirra then started walking towards it, followed by Ellie and Ameria.
They walked up to the front, and behind the grill was a bald man who had a very heavy build. He was grilling a piece of meat that had been impaled by some sticks. He noticed the girls who walked up in front of the counter and proceeded to take their orders.
"Welcome to me small business; can I take yer order?" He said with the friendliest smile they had seen, despite his muscular and heavy build.
"Can we have three kebabs, please?" Nirra said, to which Mofu looked at her disapprovingly.
"I mean, Four kebabs, please?" Nirra corrected herself.
"Of course, lass, it'll be done in a couple of minutes," he said as he went back to grilling other people's orders.
They sat down on a chair and table at the back, with an umbrella covering them. While waiting, Nirra remembered something from their meeting with Guildmaster Viceroy earlier.
"Hey Ameria, what's the reason why the guildmaster requested to talk to you one-on-one?" Nirra asked.
"Oh, he said not to disclose it. So I can't tell you," Ameria answered, her expression turning grim for a second before going back to her cheerful demeanor later. Nirra noticed it, but she knew it would be rude to ask further.
"Okay, I'll not ask further," Nirra said.
After a few minutes of waiting, they heard a ring at the counter, where the bald man from earlier was standing holding their order. Nirra stood up to pick it up, and when she was in front of the counter, she proceeded to pay 50 copper coins for it.
"Thank you for yer patrionage lass" He said with a thankful smile.
"No problem," Nirra replied, and she went back to the table where her friends were sitting.
When she arrived, they all took one of each from the bag; Mofu took one on his own and began chewing it while he had a satisfied smile on his small fox face and said a satisfied "Mofu!" While eating.
"This is really good!" Ellie commented while she chewed.
"It really is," Ameria added while she stopped chewing on hers. Nirra nodded in agreement as she bit away at hers.
After they finished, they stood up. Nirra picked up Mofu, who was sleeping, after he finished eating. She placed him on her shoulder as they continued to look around the place for any more interesting shops they might find. After a few more minutes of walking, Nirra saw an interesting store, or should she say forge? It had multiple anvils inside, and some people were working on weapons like swords and axes.
"Hey Ameria," Nirra called her attention with a tap to the shoulder.
Yes, Nirra? " She replied and turned around.
"What's that place over there? It looks more like a forge than a shop," Nirra said as she pointed at the forge.
"Oh, that's the Dragon's Breath Forge. You can rent out a smithing station for a certain number of time. Great for adventurers who would want to save their money instead of commissioning someone to create new weapons for them or maintaining those weapons," she answered.
"I see," Nirra replied as she saw a few adventurers fixing and maintaining their weapons inside.
"I know that face, Nirra," Ellie said with an eyebrow raised and looking nonchalantly at her sister.
"Whatever do you mean?" Nirra asked with a surprised smile, her eyes snapping back to Ellie.
"Sis, we've been together since birth; I know that look in your eyes. You're probably thinking of working on your weapons inside of there," Ellie said, with Nirra carrying a shocked expression.
"I knew it," Ellie said with a smug smile, correctly guessing her sister's thoughts.
"You're right; I want to continue developing my weapon inside of it," Nirra answered with a sigh of defeat.
"Well, do it tomorrow; come on, we still have a lot of shops to check out," Ellie said as she grabbed Nirra's hand and pulled her along to finish looking at some shops. Ameria just let out a small giggle as she followed the twins.
They continued to walk down the winding, narrow street. Soon, they came upon an intersection. Ameria looked around the area until her eyes fell on something.
