Merchants assembled

As they readied themselves for their voyage to North Edge Town, Sun Ming tendered a roll of pristine fabric to the group, advising that they could employ it to enshroud their crosses. This very cloth had been bestowed upon him five years ago and had since been passed down to each new batch of temporary knights. After the group had bundled their crosses in the cloth, they endeavored to stow them away in their knapsacks, but found to their chagrin that only half of the crosses could be accommodated. This resulted in the comical spectacle of the crew lugging their bags with the remaining crosses protruding awkwardly from behind. However, Yi Lin, being of shorter stature, wisely chose to clutch her cross in her hands to make the journey less burdensome.
