Chapter 63

After all the preparations last night, the day of departure finally arrived.

Augustus prepared a carriage for Jiang Li's trip, and chose strong and excellent horses. The carriage was also the most high-end and comfortable model made by craftsmen. Early in the morning on the day of departure, Augustus stopped the carriage at the entrance of the supermarket.

His sister Ophelia also came with him.

"Although school has not started yet, I have an appointment with other friends to return to the capital for additional course practice during this holiday." The blond boy bowed gracefully and apologized, "My brother is worried about my safety on the road, so he invited me to go with him. Mr. Jiang Li, please forgive my abruptness."

Jiang Li said nonchalantly, "It's nothing, just on the way."

And they were not sitting in the same carriage.

As far as he knew, Dore City was far from the capital, and there were many dangers along the way. If he were Augustus, he would not feel at ease letting his sister, who was in school, go there alone. When encountering danger, it is safer with more people.

All the luggage was packed in the magic backpack. The backpack props in the magic world are magical. Not only do they expand the space, but no matter how many things are put in, it will not become too heavy. The appearance of the backpack is also different according to the preferences of the guests. Jiang Li bought the backpack with the largest space in the prop store, while Ophelia's luggage is an exquisite suitcase.

After loading the extra luggage onto the carriage, they said goodbye to Messenner, who came to take over the cashier position of the supermarket, and the group got on the carriage. The driver raised the whip, the wheels turned, and they drove forward slowly.

The high-end carriage was spacious enough, and the seats were covered with soft fur cushions, allowing the passengers to feel as comfortable as possible during the long journey. There was also a bright magic lamp on the top, which illuminated even the delicate carvings inside the carriage.

The land in the city-state was paved with stone slabs, but it was different after leaving the city.

The wheels rolled over a small stone, and Jiang Li hurriedly held the seat under his butt, but he still felt that the whole person flew into the air and paused for a moment before falling down. Even after sitting firmly, it was inevitable that he would shake.

Jiang Li: "..."

He looked up at the blond nobleman sitting opposite him, his expression was calm, and he was already used to it.

Jiang Li pushed open the window of the carriage. The road in the wild was not flat, and the exposed dirt was full of potholes. As the carriage passed by, the dust raised by the horse's hooves hit his face.

Augustus noticed it and considerately handed him a soft handkerchief.

Jiang Li: "..."

He closed the window, and used the handkerchief to wipe the dust off his face. His interest in leaving the city was suddenly reduced by half.

"How long does it take to get from Dore City to the Royal Capital?"

Augustus said, "About half a month. If you ride a horse, it will be faster."

Jiang Li looked at the speed at which the scenery outside the window was receding. From the perspective of modern people, especially those who are accustomed to the speed of high-speed rail and airplanes, for a long journey, the slow means of transportation under their buttocks is a bit torturous. He couldn't help but ask: "Can't the carriage go faster?"

Augustus laughed twice: "Jiang Li, you are really joking. How can horses run fast with such a weight? Besides, if horses run at full speed, they can't run all day."

Jiang Li asked persistently: "Besides the carriage, is there no other means of transportation?"

"You mean riding a horse directly?"

But Jiang Li didn't know how to ride a horse at all.

If it was flying magic, it would not be easy to bring so many people there, and the continuous consumption of magic power could not be supported for a long time.

"Oh, right." Jiang Li remembered something: "Where are we staying on the way?"

Augustus: "If we are lucky, we can stay overnight in the villages we meet along the way. If we are unlucky, we will probably sleep outdoors."

Jiang Li: "..."

Jiang Li stood up suddenly, and his head almost hit the top of the carriage: "Stop!"

Augustus was at a loss: "What?"

"Go back!" Jiang Li said loudly: "I haven't prepared anything yet!"

...

"...What?"

Dore City. Supermarket.

Messenner put his own bench at the door of the store and sat down to communicate with the succulent tree next to him.

He moved the succulent tree from his home and placed it at the door of the supermarket. Bathed in the bright sunshine, the red succulent tree was intimately attached to the elf's palm, and the round leaves were shaking.

"Are you happy to be out and about?"

Succulent tree: rustle, rustle~

Messenner's eyes fell on the leaves. In such hot weather, the overly festive colors did not look very cool. He stretched out his slender fingers and touched the succulent tree's full leaves. The magic light spread at his fingertips. With the fingertips as the center, the emerald green color gradually covered the previous fiery red. "I remember that you looked like this before."

The leaves of the succulent tree trembled violently. There was no wind, but they were swaying beautifully.

The joy like waves surged along the places they touched. Infected by this mood, the elf's emerald green eyes curved slightly.

Okay, it's decided.

I'll have potato chips for this morning's snack.

He came to the shelf in a good mood and identified the flavor of the potato chips from the color on the bag. Before he decided whether to have cucumber or tomato flavor today, he heard hurried footsteps outside the door.

Messenner went out and saw his student, who had just set out, running in with a panicked look on his face.

Seeing him, Jiang Li immediately walked over quickly: "Teacher!"

"Huh?"

Before Messenner could react, he was pushed out of the supermarket door by the students. He looked back and saw that in the blink of an eye, the supermarket behind him had returned to its original shabby store appearance, with only the violent magic fluctuations remaining in the air.

Huh?

The elf was silent for a moment, looking at the succulent tree at the door in confusion.

What happened?

...

Mr. Jiang Li brought a brand new means of transportation!

This time, not only the residents of Dolei City, but even the dwarves who had been staying indoors all this time rushed over after hearing the news.

Looking at the strange, square "carriage" in front of him, covered in metal, with a cold and tough temperament, smooth and perfect lines, and a perfect appearance that shone brilliantly under the sunlight, Eugene jumped on it and lay on the hood, refusing to let go no matter how Chris pulled.

"Could this be the legendary car?" the dwarf asked enthusiastically, his cheek pressed against the cool touch of the car body, and the skin exposed outside the beard flushed with excitement, "Look, this exquisite craftsmanship, these exquisite machinery... God of forging, how can there be such a perfect work in this world!"

Chris and his companions tried hard to pull the dwarf's limbs, trying to pull him off the car: "Eugene, you are going to cause trouble for Mr. Jiang Li."

"Jing Li... Oh! Mr. Jiang Li!"

In this world, only the owner of a supermarket can take out such an incredibly perfect means of transportation.

Out of respect in his heart, the dwarf reluctantly climbed down from the car body. But he still couldn't bear to leave. He kept circling the car, occasionally leaning on the glass window and staring at the interior with wide eyes. It's a pity that the appearance of the car is so perfect that all the internal mechanical designs are covered, making it impossible for him to study the structure of the car from the outside.

If, if he could disassemble the car and study it carefully, then...

Unfortunately, Jiang Li didn't intend to give him this opportunity.

After putting the luggage in the trunk, Jiang Li sat in the driver's seat, fastened his seat belt, and looked up to see Augustus and others still standing there in a daze, unable to come back to their senses for a long time.

Jiang Li pressed the window and raised his chin to the blond nobleman: "Get in."

Augustus suddenly came back to his senses.

He took a step forward, then stopped with restraint, staring at the strange steel behemoth in front of him with eyes wide open in disbelief, "Jiang Li, this... this is the... luggage you prepared?!"

Jiang Li: "Yes."

The most important piece of luggage is a car.

After experiencing the comfort and speed of modern transportation, it would be too torturous for him to ride an ancient horse-drawn carriage. It was still a bit novel at first, but to sit in it for more than half a month... then forget it.

Fortunately, Jiang Li has a driver's license and has experience in self-driving tours during the previous winter and summer vacations. As long as he has enough gasoline, he can drive freely in the other world.

If it weren't for the time constraints and conditions, he would also like to buy an RV to make his journey more comfortable.

Jiang Li urged again: "Get in, Augustus, aren't we still going to the capital?"

Augustus took a deep breath and walked over with great determination.

He imitated Jiang Li just now, opened the other door, and carefully bent over to sit in the car. As soon as he sat down, he felt his body sinking into the seat uncontrollably. He didn't know where he touched, and his back suddenly fell backwards. The blond nobleman jumped up all of a sudden, "What?!"

Jiang Li turned his head in confusion: "What?"

Augustus: "..."

Realizing that there was no danger, but that he was just frightened, he slowly sat back and relaxed his back and leaned on it again. The feeling of riding in a horse-drawn carriage is completely different from the previous ones. Not only is the seat soft and comfortable, but the back is not a hard wooden board. There is no need to straighten the back. On the contrary, it is more comfortable than the seats at home.

There is such a comfortable carriage in the world? !

Yes, that's right.

Although it looks strange on the outside, just from the seats and the spacious space inside, it is just a horse-drawn carriage. It's just that the appearance is more novel, and the wheels are also a style that has never been seen before.

However, since it is produced by a supermarket, there is nothing strange about it.

Augustus calmed down quickly.

"Seat belt." Jiang Li reminded.

"What?"

After fastening his seat belt at Jiang Li's reminder and getting over the tension, Augustus curiously observed the interior of the car. Except for the two rows of seats, the other four sides were made of glass. The most complicated thing was the decoration in front of him, a round handle held in Jiang Li's hand.

In the back seat, Ophelia also got into the car with a dazed look on her face.

After making sure that all the luggage was loaded and everyone had fastened their seat belts, and saying goodbye to the people gathered outside the supermarket, Jiang Li asked, "Shall we set off?"

"Wait." Augustus reminded, "Jiang Li, you forgot to harness the horses to your carriage."

"Horses?"

Jiang Li patted the steering wheel in his hand, "No need, I'm the driver."

Before Augustus could react, Jiang Li stepped on the accelerator and the car drove out.

The crowd moved aside, the scenery of the shopping street receded, Augustus: "Wha-wha-wha-what?!"
