The pleasant chartered carriage journey ended after twenty-five minutes. “Sir, you’ve arrived at your destination,” With the coachman’s words, Jason took his luggage and stepped out of the carriage. On the side of the road stood ‘Delin Carriage Company’, with a towering signpost. At the top of the sign was a wooden carving of a horse’s head, while the bottom was adorned with a hanging carriage wheel. Two horseless carriages were parked at the entrance. “Kraul told me you’re planning a long journey?” After Jason pushed the door open and walked in, a man who appeared to be the steward came over. He was dressed in a black vest, a white shirt, trousers, leather shoes, and his hair was somewhat thin. His face bore a resemblance to the old man who had handed out business cards inside the apartment. “Not only can he handle all kinds of carriages, but he can also ensure that you, Jason, can avoid some unnecessary trouble.” Delin hinted at something. Jason’s gaze swept over the short sword, acknowledging with an understanding nod. On a long journey, safety is always the paramount concern. Although this place isn’t as chaotic as the Nightless City, there are still details that require attention. The coachman was clearly a man of few words, who, after greeting Jason, simply stood there without moving. Jason nodded in response as a form of courtesy. Meanwhile, Delin quietly pulled Jason aside. “This is the remaining 120 darlings.” After handing the remaining money to Jason, Delin asked in a low voice to confirm, “Are you sure you don’t need a couple of bodyguards? Peters is not bad, but he… is a bit old-fashioned, he likes cold weapons, and now a flintlock gun is enough to be fatal.” “I can handle some trouble.” Jason said with a smile. “After all, you are a graduate of Griffin Camp.” “Those guys are unlucky to run into you!” Delin suddenly remembered something and began to laugh. After the lads had loaded the carriage’s roof with food, clean water, pots and pans, a barbecue rack, and other necessities for the journey, Jason was ready to set off. “May you have a pleasant journey, Jason.” Delin saw him out of the carriage depot. Jason nodded with a smile, and at the flick of the reins by Peters, the carriage headed south. From their brief conversation just now, Jason had a rough idea of the journey ahead. Departing from Karl Town, he would have to pass through two large cities, Taor and Rob, and dozens of villages and towns, virtually crossing half of Hythlo County, before he could reach ‘Hans’ harbor. If the carriage proceeded normally, it would take about 9-10 days. And now it was September 15th. To arrive at ‘Hans’ harbor before the 26th, there was a considerable time pressure. Therefore, Jason decided to travel day and night. Of course, at this time, Jason finally got to open the book given to him by the old baronet, but just as he had read a few pages and the carriage had just left the range of Karl Town’s city area, the smoothly and swiftly moving carriage suddenly slowed down. “Mr. Jason, there’s someone stopping the carriage ahead.” “There’s no ambush around.” Coachman Peters reported accurately, and the carriage didn’t truly come to a stop. Clearly, he was waiting for Jason’s decision. Through the carriage window, Jason could see a young girl in a cloth dress standing on the side of the road, waving her arms. In the setting sun, her youthful face glowed with a faint blush. She seemed vibrant with youth. “Could you give me a lift?” “My home is just up ahead in Karl Town.” The young girl had clearly noticed Jason’s observation, and as the carriage was about to pass her by, she spoke up. Immediately, the coachman stopped the carriage. And dutifully opened the door. After thanking the coachman, the girl got on the carriage. The girl sat opposite Jason and no sooner had she sat down, she began to thank Jason very sincerely. “Hello, I’m Dennise.” “I went to Karl Town for fun today, and I accidentally lost track of time, missing the public carriage.”
