Line engraving looks like fun. Take a moment to come to experience it in Rubis Street!

Middle-Aged Man: Travelers from afar, would you like to experience Khaimit's treasured art: line engraving?

Middle-Aged Man: We happen to be running a promotional campaign, so you can now experience it at a discounted price.

You: (Hm... Well, we're free now, so we could try it out. Seems fun too.)

You: Hi, I would like to experience it. Do I... do I need to make it myself?

Middle-Aged Man: Many guests like to do it themselves. It'll only be a treasure if it's made by your own hands.

Middle-Aged Man: Of course, some customers also ask us to do it for them.

Middle-Aged Man: But before that, our distinguished guest, would you like to decide the subject of the line engraving?

Middle-Aged Man: What do you want to draw? Landscapes or people?

You: Since I've come all the way to Khaimit... I certainly want to have an impactful scenery as a souvenir. But... where?

Middle-Aged Man: Haha, my honored guest, don't be troubled.

Middle-Aged Man: I recommend that you go around enriching your collection first. Take photos of the scenery you like. It's better to snap more pictures before making a decision.

You: Great! Then I'll walk around a bit more and come back later for this.

Walk around Rubis Street and choose some nice scenery to make a line engraving out of.

You: So... When it comes to the landmarks of Rubis,this magnificent museum is the one that no one should be missing out on?

You: It has preserved the wisdom and style of the Khaimit for thousands of years, bearing great significance even to the whole world.

You: Maybe it'll be a good choice to use the museum as a line engraving subject?

You: But would it be a bit monotonous to have only one museum on the painting?

You: Hmm... why don't I pick a good angle to take a picture of the museum first?

...

You: Next, I think I'll go to Mien's CBD for a stroll. As the commercial center of Khaimit, I should be able to find some good views there.

Next, go to Mien CBD and find choose some nice scenery to make a line engraving out of.

You: The Mien CBD is a truly representative district in Khaimit, with the scenery of ancient Khaimit and the bustle of a modern city.

You: Would it be a good alternative to include this place in the painting...?

You: But... Would it be a little too complicated to add the whole street into the painting? Nevermind, let me snap a quick shot first...

...

You: Done! Okay, now where should I go to get more pictures?

You: Oh, right. The Ita Desert... which covers two-thirds of Khaimit should also have a lot of sceneries worth remembering.

You: Okay, I think I'll go sightsee at the Desert Oasis next!

You: What a magnificent vista in the endless desert. A vibrant oasis! Together with lovely camels... they'll certainly fit the painting well.

You: Huh? That camel's looking at me! And it's sticking its tongue out... How cute!

You: Aww, I must snap a photo of it!

...

You: Yup, this should do! I now have lots of beautiful photos in my collection, so I'll be able to choose a beautiful one for line engraving!
