The Falcon's Beacon (I)

It was already dusk after Rhode's group arrived at Bamboo Leaf Town. Along the way they met militias from Bamboo Leaf Town rushing toward the thick smoke. However, they were relieved after realizing that Rhode's group had rescued them. As a way to express their gratitude, they guided them into Bamboo Leaf Town. Rhode knew that the Eastern Plains had a confined society, which made it harder for outsiders to blend in. The locals also weren't as willing to reveal matters or accept assistance from the outsiders. However, it was another matter to be guided by the locals and Rhode gladly accepted their offer.

Even though Lize and Anne had seen all kinds of conditions and customs as mercenaries, this town still surprised them greatly because most of their houses weren't constructed with stones and logs. Instead, they were built from the bamboo they had seen along the way.
