In general, a trade-oriented city situated by the sea, as long as it has unfettered sea navigation and constant trade, will flourish far more than an inland city.
Having three days, Rein was in no rush; he planned to first explore so bustling alleys or perhaps near so taverns.
Just like the bat market, the Nightingale Market might also reside in a tranquil spot amidst the commotion.
Under the warm winter sun, bursts of relatively warm and moist sea breeze blew, carrying a faint briny scent. Along the vibrant stands he passed, Rein saw a greater variety of seafood, shell products, and goods from remote islands than he had seen on the busy streets of ister.
After a large loop, Rein surprisingly couldn't find the entrance to the Nightingale Market, which puzzled him a bit.
Since he had wandered most of the bustling and lively areas of Rosby City throughout the morning.
Could it be that the Nightingale Market was located in the opposite direction, perhaps among noble estates or affluent districts?
After a short deliberation, Rein felt this possibility wasn't highly likely.
Suddenly, a spark of inspiration flashed through Rein's mind; he had an epiphany.
There was a place he had possibly been overlooking all this ti.
That was....the docks!
Rosby City had several docks, such as the navy-only dock, fishing docks, and cargo docks, among which there were two fishing docks.
Thus, Rein began searching each dock.
Soon, as Rein reached near the cargo dock, he imdiately saw a nightingale emblem not far from a tavern nad "Sailor's Ho."
This made Rein's face light up, and he walked over.
Similar to the bat market, after walking through an Illusion Array, Rein found himself in a market, still with that familiar scent.
People were coming and going, most wearing hoods or even veils, a sign of concealing their movents, although so freely showed their faces, though they were relatively fewer.
The market was rather crowded, yet voices were kept low.
At that mont, the red-haired girl Evelyn was also in the Nightingale Market, gathering so raw materials for potions. Soon, she noticed that familiar figure.
"Eh? What brings him here?"
Seeing Rein roaming about, she couldn't help but stop in her tracks.
Truthfully, Evelyn was quite curious about Rein, who had executed the ship explosion during the ennoblent assessnt.
Although she was sowhat introverted and proud by nature, it depended on the person.
Being the most powerful among her age in Rosby City's nobility, facing most young talents made a bit of pride and reserve inevitable.
But Rein was different; his performance during the ennoblent was incredibly striking, commanding her respect.
And with Rein's keen senses, he naturally noticed the girl's gaze.
Although she wore a hood, the strand of red hair peeking out and the familiar bright eyes quickly allowed Rein to recognize her as the red-haired girl Evelyn.
Soon, their eyes t.
Rein smiled slightly at this, which made Evelyn imdiately return the smile.
After a thought, Evelyn approached and said, "Knight Rein, hello, I am Evelyn. Your performance during the ennoblent was quite astonishing."
"You flatter , Knight Evelyn. Haas has told about your strength and... beauty. In comparison, I only found a loophole."
Evelyn covered her mouth and giggled, saying, "Knight Rein, I thought soone as formidable as you would be busy practicing and not so eloquent, but now I see that is not the case."
"By the way, Knight Rein, if I may ask boldly, what brings you to the Nightingale Market? Perhaps, as a local, I can be your guide." Evelyn offered.
Evelyn also found it strange; why did her mood suddenly brighten upon hearing Rein's complint?
After all, the young n who flattered her daily weren't less than ten, usually seven or eight, were inevitable.
Moreover, these individuals spoke more straightforwardly and exaggeratedly than Rein, but none gave her the sa feeling as he just did.
Rein had rely complinted her once, and since it was their first formal conversation, it was mostly polite, yet, sohow, it made her very happy.
Perhaps it was because his strength was substantial enough? Evelyn pondered.
"Of course, having the beautiful and powerful Knight Evelyn as my guide would absolutely be an honor." Rein promptly responded with a smile.
Moreover, he thought about it and saw no point in concealing anything.
After all, having co to the Nightingale Market indicated that from so perspective, both he and Evelyn were like-minded individuals; likely, she was also a Wizard Apprentice, just uncertain of which specialty.
Thus, Rein continued, "I am looking to see if there are any witchcraft models suited for , but after looking around, it seems there aren't any powerful witchcraft available."
Evelyn smiled and replied, "Of course, on a market of this mystical level, you won't find powerful witchcraft or first-grade witchcraft. However, sotis, you might find so decent beginner-level witchcraft."
"Hmm? Is there a reason for that?" Rein asked, slightly puzzled.
