The next day.

Zion, Stella, and Rose immediately headed straight to the lake to do their job. The rest were taking their time around the city while Noel and Anna had decided to go around together.

"To think that you manipulated the conversation like yesterday." Anna smirked.

"Mhm…" Noel nodded, remembering what Paul said before. He kind of felt bad since if what Paul said was true, he didn't have to resort to manipulation. "Either way, there is something that I want to hear from the people around here."

"What is it?" Anna's expression became serious, wondering what kind of information he had received.

Noel thought for a moment before smiling back, "Just follow me around."

"Tsk." Anna clicked her tongue. Though, she kept following him to see what was going on.

Noel walked around the town and found a stall of fruits. He came to this stall without hesitation. His expression was filled with a smile as if he was enjoying the town. "The fruits look good."

"Oh my. You have great eyes. We picked this not long ago, so they're still fresh." The woman chuckled, flattered. She also noticed Anna who was next to him.

The moment Noel said, "How much for a bag?" the woman grabbed the bag while saying, "It's 5 copper. You don't seem to be someone from around here. Do you come to this place recently?"

"Yes. We're just sightseeing around here." Noel chuckled while raising one finger to tell her he wanted one bag.
