Chapter 148. A trip to Cazdale
In April 1092, the cold snap that had raged all winter quietly receded, and warmth returned to the land.
On a fine morning, Zhou Jinru set out again in his carriage, crossing the border of the Sรกmi and heading east, the route had already been drawn on his map, and it would take him three months to cross the long wilderness to reach Casimir, then across all of Casimir, and finally to reach Kazdelle.
Kelsey must be there now, as well as himself in this era, and the princess who has only been seen in the archives.
The reason for his determination was the stone that was taken away by Kelsey, and the lynx was hiding from almost everyone, what did she really want to do?
"I should be able to meet the Tracy of this era, and in 1092, did the civil war in Cazdale begin?"
Sleeping in the open on the way, Zhou Jinru had thoughts, just like in the past nearly 100 years, measuring the land of Terra with his legs, and at the same time carrying a heavy trace of time.
As he approached, more vehicles could be seen on the road, especially modern internal combustion vehicles, and his carriage stood out in the large convoy.
"Brother, your car is full of dust, where did you come from?"
"It's a little far, Sammy."
The Coolanta mechanic wiped his oil-stained hands from his overalls, patted the carriage body, and pulled a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket: "Smoking?" โ
Zhou Jinru pointed to the liquid source stone filling station more than ten meters away, and the repairman embarrassedly stuffed the cigarette in his mouth back into his jacket pocket.
He cleared his throat and said thoughtfully: "Brother, you have walked all the way, even if people can stand it, the horse is about to die, so let's sell this carriage to me with depreciation, and I will get you a nice baby." โ
As soon as he heard this, Zhou Jinru was unmoved: "The internal combustion car broke down in the wilderness, and there was not even a place to make a phone call, do you want me to carry the car away?" Has Victoria been there, their mounted police still use war horses as a means of transportation, the wilderness environment is too harsh, the car can't go, but the livestock can, don't bother, I don't sell. โ
"Don't be like this, brother, we have something to say, I like this car a lot, you can make a price."
Zhou Jinru was puzzled: "Why do you have to buy this carriage?" โ
"Because in two months, the Grand Knight Leader will have a grand celebration, do you want to participate in it too? I can tell you, non-Casimirs can't participate. โ
Casimir's Grand Knighthood Celebration?
Zhou Jinru occasionally heard of it, but he never participated, and at this time he was all about going to Kazdale, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
Moreover, the carriage is a bit slow to travel, and if you can change to an internal combustion car, it is not impossible, provided that it is practical enough.
The car repairman saw that there was a doorway, full of interest, and hurriedly pushed out a locomotive from the car dealership, and introduced it in a matter-of-fact manner: "The latest model produced in Colombia, with strong horsepower, the internal combustion engine consumes a very limited amount of source stone liquid for 100 kilometers, for your carriage, hey, brother, you earned!" โ
Did I earn it?
Zhou Jinru glanced at the mechanic, took out a pair of pliers from the bag on his waist, knocked on the cargo frame behind the body, and asked, "What is this?" โ
"It's ......"
Before the mechanic could finish speaking, he tapped the saddle again, scraping off a layer of green paint, revealing the crimson inside, and a pair of eyes staring at each other.
This car, I'm afraid it's not coming from the right way.
Although Casimir accelerated into a capitalist society, it only changed the superstructure, it also retained the aristocracy and aristocratic territories, in other words, in addition to the large mobile cities with bright lights, the Casimir people living in land towns still lived the life of the old times, and there was a strong separation from the rapid development of Casimir's modern society.
Therefore, Zhou Jinru has reason to suspect that the car that came out of the car dealership was a stolen car, and it is difficult to say how far it can go on the road.
The mechanic saw that the strange man from Sammy was not in the trap, and he didn't dare to act rashly, after all, crossing the wilderness alone is not something that can be done with a little ability, thinking about it for a while, gritting his teeth: "You wait for me for a few minutes." โ
The locomotive parked on the side of the road didn't care, and he pushed out another car from the car dealership, which was also a locomotive, much larger than the previous one, and the paint on the body was uniform and natural, and the workmanship materials were much better.
"This car should be satisfied."
The mechanic said painfully.
Zhou Jinru didn't speak, walked to the locomotive and knocked on it, the lights were replaced, and the left baffle also had traces of replacement, which means that the car had been in an accident, and it was very likely that someone died, and the original owner couldn't ask for it anymore, and the car dealer didn't care how much he earned, as long as he could push it out.
"It's almost funny."
As soon as Zhou Jinru spoke, the repairman's eyes widened, this was almost meaningful, what did he want?
"Almost, brother, your carriage isn't worth much."
"Okay, I don't want anything else, you have a spare toolbox for me, and by the way, fill up the fuel, I'll see it."
The toolbox is definitely there, and it's not very valuable, let alone fuel.
The mechanic breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't want much, he could still accept it, it was not a big problem.
After some tossing, Zhou Jinru replaced the carriage with a locomotive, and the speed of the road was significantly improved, but the engine under him was abrupt, which made him very unaccustomed.
Black Rose didn't make such a big move, could it be that his taste was raised?
It took only a fraction of the time to traverse Casimir's territory with the help of this car, and once again after filling up the station with fuel, he was about to step into the wilderness, and Kazdale was ahead.
However, as he left the station, the Casimir gave him a lot of advice, such as not to provoke the neurotic demons, and especially to be careful of the Sakaz soldiers, otherwise he would die if he was not careful.
It seems that Kazdale is notorious, which Zhou Jinru did not expect.
He walked all the way, barely stopping, and soon, a boundary monument appeared in view.
Casimir rarely does business with Cazdale, on the one hand, it is difficult to communicate, and on the other hand, Cazdale is not peaceful these days, and it is full of wandering mercenaries, sometimes these mercenaries will act as caravan protectors, and sometimes they do not mind the role of cameo robbers.
"It seems that Kazdale is more chaotic than I thought, I'm afraid the civil war has begun."
Zhou Jinru knew that the princess died in 1094, more than a year before the collapse of the Tower of Babel, and the fighting between the two sides was far from the most intense, and it should still be a small friction.
After walking some distance further, a camp appeared in his field of vision, and it seemed that there were many people.
His car was also stopped.
