A cold but refreshing morning enveloped Castle Longhua, carrying the mountain breeze mixed with the aroma of spices from the food stalls lining the main street. Maya took a deep breath, enjoying the fresh air that felt completely different from the places they had passed before.
"This place is truly special," she muttered, glancing at Jagu, who was walking beside her casually. The big cat seemed very comfortable with the castle's atmosphere, its tail moving slowly as it sniffed the air, as if trying to recognize every scent around.
Maya took Jagu for a walk, exploring the narrow alleys filled with unique shops. Some stalls sold antiques, while others offered combat gear and adventure supplies.
She couldn't hold back her curiosity, especially when she spotted a small shop selling various potions and rare ingredients.
"This feels like a place made for treasure hunters," she said excitedly as she examined glass bottles filled with mysterious-colored liquids.
