"DO you know where that Safehaven Harbor is?" Luo Jin asked when they walked out of the Arena.
"No. But I read somewhere on the forum before that it's somewhere on the East coast of Arcadia. According to what I've read, there are ships there that travel to the different small islands surrounding Arcadia," Luo Yan answered. "Maybe the venue of the Rookie Carnival will be held in one of those islands."
Luo Jin nodded, no longer interested in that topic. He was thinking that it's a good thing that they managed to convince their father to return on Saturday from their planned vacation. If they returned on Sunday just like their father's original plan, then they might have missed the time to go to that Safehaven Harbor.
"Shall we go to Jiao Jiao's shop?" Luo Yan then asked once they were out of the Arena.
Luo Jin once again felt excited thinking that they would finally see their weapons in a few minutes. "Yeah, let's go."
He reached out to his second brother's robe and took out a group teleportation scroll. Before Luo Yan could say anything, the two of them already disappeared on the spot. Luo Yan once again felt the feeling of being sucked into a vacuum.
Once he opened his eyes, they were no longer in Goldcrest City. They appeared to be in some kind of plaza. But unlike the plaza in Goldcrest, this one seemed to be bigger and also glitzier. Even the buildings around were bigger and had a more sophisticated design. Almost like those buildings during the renaissance period in Europe. The place was totally giving off that aristocratic vibe.
There were also not many players walking around in comparison to Goldcrest and the other two cities. Maybe it's because the items that could be bought here were much more expensive compared to the other three. Luo Yan also heard that buying a plot of land here also cost a lot. The price was practically doubled compared to Goldcrest. Which made Yu Jiao even more amazing for having a shop here.
Speaking of, Luo Yan opened his Status Window and sent a message to Yu Jiao.
Noctis: [Jiao Jiao, we're already in Alryne City.]
It didn't take long before she replied.
Vulcan: [Where are you? I'll go and get you.]
Noctis: [No need. We can just walk there. Just wait for us.]
Considering how famous Yu Jiao's shop was, the probability of him and Luo Jin getting lost was almost nil.
Vulcan: [Okay, I'll wait for you.]
After closing the chat interface, Luo Yan opened the map of the city. He quickly saw Forge Etna – Yu Jiao's shop. It was just two blocks away from the plaza. After memorizing the direction, he closed his Status Window.
Then he noticed that Luo Jin was already walking forward. "Ah Jin, where are you going?" he called.
Luo Jin stopped and looked back at him. "To Yu Jiao's shop."
��But that's not the right direction."
Luo Jin's small face suddenly turned red when he heard that. He clearly remembered that the map said to go to this direction. Stupid map! "I-I know! I just stretched my legs a bit."
Luo Yan smiled and didn't pierce his brother's lie. He had almost forgotten how bad Luo Jin's sense of direction was. He's taking back what he said earlier. No matter how famous Yu Jiao's shop was, if Luo Jin were to go there alone, he would surely be lost.
[Mashter, Eclipse think your brother is lying. He definitely didn't know where he's going just now.] – Eclipse commented.
[Well, to be fair, he thought the direction he was going was the right one.] – he said.
[Then is he what people call 'directionally challenged'?]
[You could say that.]
[Mashter, your brother is kind of pitiful. Eclipse will be the bigger person and forgive him for every time he showed his dislike to Eclipse before.] – Eclipse said, as if he was really a generous person. Then he looked at Luo Jin with pity in his big sapphire blue eyes.
Luo Jin who saw this was a bit dumbfounded. Why did he feel like this fox just looked at him as if he's some pitiful child? He frowned but just shook that off. "Then lead the way," he said to Luo Yan.
He refused to look at his second brother. Because with Luo Yan's partly black nature, the other was definitely laughing at his gaff just now.
"Yes," Luo Yan said, trying his best not to show that he found what happened just now truly funny. But before he started walking, he still couldn't help but remind Luo Jin, "Ah Jin, be sure to follow me, okay? I don't want you going off the opposite direction along the way."
Luo Jin's small face blushed red in embarrassment. Sure enough, Luo Yan was definitely making fun of him. "Let's just go, okay?"
Luo Yan held back his laughter and said, "Okay."
Then they started walking towards the direction of Yu Jiao's shop.
When they were nearing the place, Luo Yan noticed another shop. It was a shop with an old apothecary feel to it. A wooden sign board at the front said 'Potions and Cauldrons'. If he was not mistaken, this was one of the branches of Bian Que's shop.
He wondered what the number one Alchemist's reaction was to the note he gave him. He sure hoped he would work on it. Surely, he could see the monetary potential of that idea.
They passed by that shop and continued walking. Soon, they arrived at their destination.
Luo Yan stared at the two-story building in front of him. The design was quite simple. It was painted black with a sign hanging saying 'Forge Etna'. It lacked the dramatic effect that Bian Que's shop had. Which reflected Yu Jiao's style. He would find it very weird if her shop turned out very gaudy which was completely different from her personality.
Before going inside, Luo Yan didn't forget to send a message to Yu Jiao telling her that they're already here at her shop.
