Chapter 39: The City of Koga

It's still a long way to go down the mountain, and if you're quick, it's a day and a half to get to the main road at the foot of the mountain, and another day to get to Koga City.

The whole journey takes two and a half days, which can be shortened by day and night, but there is no need to ...... It is better to give the horse time to rest than to run it day and night.

Sean followed the caravan's carriage all the way through the day, and did not have time to sit down and rest until the evening.

When you stretch out, you feel your whole bone ringing, and your shoulders and buttocks hurt!

"What's the matter, lad. I'm not used to riding in a horse-drawn carriage. The old coachman could tell at a glance that Sean was not used to sitting in the car for a long time.

"It's a little!"

didn't deny it, because it was really uncomfortable when I sat in the car before, and I even wanted to vomit during the day, but fortunately, there were old coachmen who often talked to themselves to divert their attention, otherwise not to mention how uncomfortable it was along the way.

"You will get used to it after sitting a few more times, and when you treat the bump as a kind of exercise, you will not feel uncomfortable when you feel happy in your heart. ”

It's still like this!

The old driver's words showed Sean the power of the old driver.

"I don't think you go out very often. He sat next to Sean with the freshly boiled broth in his hand.

At night, the convoy found a slightly spacious open space to rest, and a few tents surrounded by a few fires could be used as a simple camp...... Moreover, the merchants were very comfortable with camping at night, saying that as long as a few people took turns to keep vigil, the livestock would be lost, and that the area was very safe and there were no bandits at all.

Because Sean's identity was not revealed, he was also placed in the ranks of the vigil as a young member of the team......

The first half of the night.

Only when the moon rises in the middle of the night will the people of the second half of the night be replaced.

And it was the old coachman who accompanied Sean on the vigil......

"Never been out of Telemien, to be exact. Sean replied with a smile.

It's been more than two months since I came to this world, and I really haven't walked out of that place, and I thought about coming out to see it before, but it's impossible for me to come out for no reason because I'm a local lord, and I don't want to move because it's a snowy day.

But now that spring has arrived, a lot has happened in the town of Telemien.

If you don't want to keep in touch with the outside world, you may have a hard time surviving that winter......

Looking back now, I think this time luck prevailed!

"Would you like some?"

The old coachman next to him, who was still thinking about it, handed over a bowl of hot broth.

This is what everyone eats in the evening, and now there is some soup base, and when they are full, they feel that it tastes very greasy and salty.

Anyway, for people like Sean, who are used to eating aristocratic exquisite food, they can't eat it.

"No thanks!"

"Hey, it's windy at night in the mountains and forests, so you need to drink more hot things to keep your body calories, take it. The old coachman was not polite at all, and completely regarded himself as an adult, and directly stuffed it into Sean's hands......

"Actually, when you are young, you should walk more, so there is nothing wrong with it. In the past, when I was so young like you, I even went to the northern city alone despite the opposition of my family, just to see the steam engine there...... Hahaha...... It was a miserable time, and I found that I didn't have enough money halfway through, but I couldn't get it back. ”

Telling his story, the old coachman's eyes seemed to shine.

"Guess what, in the end? I go to every city by myself and find a tavern to wipe the tables and wash the dishes. When you earn enough money, you go to the next city...... I remember that at that time, in order to deceive my boss's trust, I made up all kinds of lies just so that I could stay in the store and work. ”

When it comes to old things, almost all of them have a smile on their faces.

"And did you see the steam engine last?"

"Yes, when I was in the city of El Tinoba, it was not as beautiful as I imagined, and I had to leave disappointed...... It took more than a year to go back and forth, but looking back many years later, I am glad to have that experience. ”

He turned his head and looked at Sean very seriously.

The stats displayed on the top of the head are [1000/1000, Friendly] and [Caught in Memories!].

"Even though most of the time we go out almost nothing, many years later you will sigh that you had that courage! He patted Sean on the shoulder with a smile on his face, and then continued to scoop another bowl of soup into the pot.

With four hours left to watch the campfire burn and more than six hours left in the countdown to the night, it's almost time to wake up the night watchman in the middle of the night.

....................................

The next morning, Sean was woken up by the bumps of the car, and he looked up to see the weather outside, the sun had already risen, and the convoy had already started to rush.

"You woke up! I saw that you were sleeping so much that the team didn't wake you up when they left, how do you feel now? ”

Sean shook his head, keeping his head clear.

In the past, when I was in the town, I slept until I woke up naturally, and then when I went for a morning run, although I got up early, it was a night, and I had nothing to do, and I was ready to rest almost as soon as it was dark, but I didn't have to keep a vigil like yesterday.

"It's okay, it's just a little dizzy......"

"There are some cocktails over there, take two sips to refresh yourself. The old coachman said, looking sideways at a water bag in the corner of the carriage.

Sean picked up the bag with the wine and looked at it......

There are no special attributes, it is only marked with [Cocktail: Refreshment], what kind of item is this, is it simply a daily necessities?

I opened it and smelled it, and there was a sour feeling.

The tongue is drooling......

Drink it in one gulp......

Hiss~

It feels like the feeling of drinking a sip of lemon water, there is no smell of alcohol, it is a taste of sour to the root of the teeth, and the feeling of drowsiness disappears in an instant as if the head is ventilated.

"How's that? ”

"Yes, what is this made of?" The spirit seemed to come back in an instant, and my head was much clearer.

"I bought it at the Koga City Tavern, and we get sleepy when we deliver on weekdays, so we take two sips at that time, and if you like it, you can buy some next time, it works well. "The old driver doesn't need to look ahead anymore when he pulls the car.

That's when Sean noticed that the road was beginning to level out.

Back

The town in the mountains is no longer visible, and even the road on the mountain is already in the distance.

"Are we already on the road?"

"Well, after crossing the fork in the road ahead, you will officially enter the confines of Koga City, and in a moment you will see horse-drawn carriages from various surrounding towns and cities...... Hopefully it won't be too much today, otherwise it will be difficult for us to reach the inn by night. The old coachman said.
