The shadows of the old world, the tides of the new era. Light and darkness, chaos and dawn... arise alternately in a world of machinery and witchcraft!
But what does this have to do with me, ...
Entering the main road from the so-called fork in the road by the old coachman, Sean finally understood what the so-called carriages from the surrounding towns were.
It felt like he had walked into a busy road. In addition to the five cars in the small town, there were many other vehicles in front and behind, and there were also many kinds of animals pulling the carts... One of them was a strong and hairy cow pulling the cart, which made Sean very curious.
Even the drivers of their carts look very different from themselves and the people around them.
Brown skin and black hair.
The key is that her body proportions are too exaggerated, with thick legs and hips, and her chest is amazingly firm.
If you sit over there, you'll probably see someone whose arm is as thick as your thigh!
Sean saw that the other person was exactly level with the carriage he was riding in. For a moment, the person on the other side also turned her head to look at him. Maybe because of the dust, she was still covering her face with a veil, so her appearance could not be seen.
But the eyes are also very special, appearing very large, and the outline of half of the face is also very prominent.
However, after just a short while, the other party turned his head away again...
"Who is that? He seems different from us." Sean asked the old driver beside him, and the other party looked over slightly.
"Adak people... strange, I rarely see Adak drivers in Koga City, and they are women at that." The old driver muttered to himself.
"I really don't know how they got to Koga City? Adak is a long way from Zambutal!"
Sean doesn't know much about world geography. He has never seen a world map, and he has heard that it is very difficult to draw a complete and correct map, so most local people only have local maps.
Think about it, if it were another country, it would not ask you to send people to survey, let alone draw a map.
So many knowledgeable people only know the general location of various places, but if you ask how far away they are... they will only say, not far or very far!
There is no concept of distance. At most, people who have been there will tell you that it usually takes a few days to get there, but that is just an approximate and usual value.
"So that place is far from Zambutal?" Sean asked.
He was familiar with the place name Zambutal. Luke and Lucille had mentioned it before... It was the continent where his country, the Bashalan Empire, was located, or it could be called a continent, etc. Anyway, anything would be fine.
It is equivalent to a general term for a vast continent, and there are many countries in this area, and the races should be similar.
And the girl with an exaggerated figure on the ox cart next door is obviously a different race...
"It's very far away. Adak is located in the northeast of Zambutal and is said to be a desert. I haven't been there, so I can't say for sure, but if you go to the north, you will often hear people mention that people there look like her... and she's a girl. If she were a man, he would be so tall that he could block the sun for you when he stood up!" The old driver sometimes told such cold jokes, which always caught people off guard and he would say casually.
"Is it really that exaggerated? That's not just a city wall."
"It's all about the same anyway. You'll understand when you see it in the future!"
Just at this moment, the ox cart of the girl from Adak next door ran in front of him...
"But it's strange. Koga is the southernmost city in Zambutar. They are so far away, but they are willing to come here. I'm afraid it will take them two or three years to go back and forth."
Speaking of distance and time, Sean suddenly remembered a problem that had been bothering him before.
This world should be about the same size as the Earth I lived on back then. How long would it take to walk from east to west? Even with the current horse-drawn carriage technology, it would take several years to reach far away.
"By the way, uncle. If we want to go to the area outside of Zambutal, what's the fastest way to get there?"
"Do you want to go somewhere outside of Zambutal?" The other party did not answer immediately but turned around and asked curiously.
"I'm just curious."
"Oh... I thought you really wanted to go to those places. People in other regions may not like us, and some even hate us because of various wars. If you don't have a special reason, it's best not to leave Zambutal. Of course, if you really want to go, the fastest way is to take an airship to one of the developed cities in the north."
It turns out there is such a means of transportation!
Technological development is indeed the forerunner of progress.
"There are also several airships in Koga City. You'll see them when you get close to the city... but they're said to be too small to fly that far, and they're also very expensive. Most of them are used by nobles and merchants."
"I'm curious, how much is it?"
The old driver suddenly pointed a finger and widened his eyes.
"One trip costs a thousand gold coins!"
One thousand gold...
My annual government subsidy is just over 10,000 gold coins, so I can only ride it a few times, so it's really expensive.
We followed the caravan from morning till evening, stopping briefly at a rest stop to let the horses rest and for everyone in the caravan to have some lunch.
As expected of a road around a big city, you can see places to rest and eat along the way, and there are also many places specially provided for caravans and travelers.
Because the caravan came from the small town's trade market, after returning to Koga City, they had to prepare to load new vegetables and goods and continue to rush back to the town of Telemian.
The time is fixed, so the team will not rest until dark, and it would be nice to save some time!
The fleet is dedicated to transportation, so they know what's going on...
