Locating the Ingredients

Alex wondered if he should find a place to stay, but it didn't seem necessary to him. Since he was only going to be here for merely 2 or so days, he could spend those times in either the Alchemy hall or the library in this city.

"Huh? This city has no library?" Alex asked a man with surprise. He had been asking for directions to the library when he learned about that.

"No, Fellow Daoist. But I hear the next city has one," the man told Alex.

"Next city? The Raingoard city?" Alex asked.

"Yes, that's the one. It's only a hundred or so kilometers away," the man said.

"Thank you," Alex said and left. That took away one of the things he wanted to do. 

'Does this town seriously not have a library?' he thought. Well, now that he thought about it, not every town had a library.

Even the city he considered his home now, the Scarlet city didn't have a library.
