946 Rosebed

There was a high mountain far away from the Tree of Eternity.

On his Gondola, Angor looked below at the mountain tip that pierced through the clouds and smelled the scent of roses.

This was Rosebed, which was Leona's territory. Angor had never been here before, but he heard it from Sunders many times that should he have questions and problems regarding his alchemy studies, this was where he should come.

Instead of landing inside Rosebed from the sky, he dropped his boat at the bottom of the mountain, where a mountain path that connected with Rosebed could be seen, and proceeded on foot.

The clouds that covered the sky around Rosebed were, in fact, poison traps placed by Leona to fend off ill-mannered visitors. The path on the side of the mountain would take some time to travel across, but it was the proper way to go.

Angor arrived at a thorn screen midway, across which he could see the silhouettes of buildings behind.
