Leon still remembered that he and Tassera originally planned to find Betty in Crossroads City, persuade her, then have some fun for a few days and leave for the Red Crown Desert. The main goal remained recruiting the Blue Dragon in the Red Crown Desert. Who would have thought they'd encounter so many events in Crossroads City? Hopefully, nothing unexpected would happen on their journey to the Red Crown Desert.
Thinking about it, Crossroads City is a paradise for smugglers, robbers, and criminals, a world-famous City of Sin with gathered might that a place like the Red Crown Desert could not compare to... Normally, who would want to stay in such a resource-poor desert? The strongest there is probably just an Ancient Blue Dragon, not something to be feared.
Crossroads City is not far from Watchtower Port, at least not far in a straight line. From Crossroads City to the Red Crown Desert, there's quite a distance to cover. Even flying would take nearly half a day.
