An hour passed during which Lin Mu had thought up of a plan that he may be able to use, but there were still some uncertainties that were problematic for him. The two biggest ones being him needing to find that Brown Forest Shrubby Cat and then somehow making it show him the way to the spirit fruit.
While being lost in his thought, Lin Mu didn't even realize that he had already entered the Northern town. He only broke out of his stupor after being greeted by some town guards. Lin Mu recognized one of them to be part of the Hei Corps and simply nodded at them before continuing on to his house.
He looked around the town and could see the stalls being set up along the street.
'Oh? They're starting already? Are the merchants coming early this year or something?' Lin Mu wondered.
