A giant wall engulfed the town, probably built to keep attackers out instead of trapping citizens in. I zoomed on my e-scroll map and noticed three entrances to the town, connected with major roads leading across the main continent. This town apparently functioned as a major hub for the land.

To keep a low profile, I joined a caravan and a group of traders in front of the gate where I had to pass a guard tower. Patrols inspected the incoming travelers and forwarded the cleared passersby. A faint yellow silhouette showed me that these guards stood on neutral grounds with me. After paying a fee of fifty credits, they allowed me to gallop in.

The town looked unlike Lynchburg or Montobay. This one had a Mediterranean touch with its terracotta-roofed houses, sun-yellow facades, and tropical flowerbeds gracing the roads and back alleys. I had never been to Italy or Spain, but this town could have sprung from those countries, well, apart from the industrial factories protruding in the background of the skyline. Apparently, the Sunblood Syndicate had set up a flourishing Reepo-mining and refinery facility which also brought a couple of problems. Wherever the Reepo surged, trouble ensued. For now, the township seemed at peace. No roadblocks, no flaming roofs, no soldiers yelling attack orders and opening fire. Heck, if this town existed in reality, I would have put my slippers on and relaxed in the sun all day. Maybe this place was too peaceful for questing.

I rode my fowl down the main road where a colorful sign greeted travelers like me.

“Welcome to Varmegarden—The Green Jewel of Fourlando.”

And green it was. Tropical palm trees, exotic flowerbeds, and colorful ornaments in shop windows made Varmegarden look like a sunny tourist spot. I worried that I wouldn’t find any challenges here, but the decent amount of players in groups of tens and twenties told me something had to be going on here. Besides, Sparrow recommend this place to me, and her advice had been sound so far.

Near the central plaza of the township, I picked an affordable inn (fifteen credits per night) and planned my day’s adventure. I bought a local map which updated the location on the overworld section of my e-scroll. The town looked like a structured maze from above, with all streets and roads leading to and from the central square like a spider web. In the north-east area of the town was the mysterious plant which had blacked out on my map; a sure sign the area was forbidden to enter. I memorized the most important spots of the town and visited a supply shop nearby.

The NPC, a young woman wearing working gear, waved me over with a service smile. “Welcome to Moola’s Mobile Maker Shop.”

She had the passion to bring down a wall with her pinky finger. I liked Moola already. “I’m looking for a couple of potions and remedies.”

“Sure, we got them all. Low potions, mid-potions, hi-potions, and even X-potions.”

“What’s the X for?”

Moola grinned like a girl who had pulled off a devious prank.
