Vale and two others naturally agreed as they weren't from this city. Although Charvale City isn't even as big as Melthorn City where Vale grew up, it is still rather large with a complete railway system.
Many factories of various fields can also be seen as the city was actually surrounded by coal mines.
This is also what Vale learned when he asked Lisa about the city. Apparently, she had visited this city once and according to her, this is not a place where you go for a vacation.
Factories emit smoke, steam trains go here and there, and the city gets covered by fog until 10 in the morning.
It is also surrounded by mountains so the city can't really expand even if they wanted to…
"So it's really like this…" Vale muttered as they alighted from the horse carriage.
It's only two in the afternoon but the sun could barely be seen because of the smoke pollution.
