Lina nodded in the affirmative. “Yup. But it looks like they don’t have it here. Let’s go check out the other stores.”

The trio left this shop and ventured over to others. With many such specialist shops lining the streets, that meant that they were not without options.

Even after trawling through one store after another, however, Lina was still unable to find a piece to her liking. As the supply of fire obsidian was not plentiful and was only mined in limited quantities annually, coming into it involved a lot of luck.
