Since I only left a note to people from Coal City to go to Ash City, I did not need to make any special arrangements to meet or teleport anybody from here except the Lir's family and the sudden addition of Naia's parents and their respective groups. I walked leisurely in Coal City for a bit, kiting around the pursuers (a.k.a stalkers) that have been following me and Lir around since this morning.
I went one more trip around the marketplace, buying whatever I feel like buying since all these are merfolk-made items that I can auction at a later time. I also went back to the mining area and bought another batch of those mana crystals I discovered a few days back that can power magic tools effectively.
I constantly sent out my mana discreetly to check the position of the "stalkers" while pretending to be busy shopping. As I was walking back to the market, I suddenly made a sharp turn towards a small alley to surprise them so I can prepare for an escape.
