Chapter 35 (2/2)

At first, they thought about boarding a boat. However, due to the recent drought, the boat line in the large river was suspended so traveling by land was inevitable.

“As the river level had dropped, we can’t use the boat.”

Tired of riding a horse, Philip grumbled. Roger shot back at him right away.

“The ships could have been stranded. But a knight that hates to ride horses? What would people say about that?”

“I am a rider. And the young Lord is going to buy a Gigant this time. How about buying a mobile? Mobiles are popular with nobles since it’s very fashionable.”

“I don’t need it. I don’t want to spend money on worthless things.”

A mobile, which runs on a steam engine, was a vehicle that wasn’t much different from a wagon in the means of transportation.

In addition, its speed was just as fast as a carriage, which was why it was considered as a luxury rather than a vehicle.

‘If I’m going to buy something, I’ll buy a trailer. Really heavy things such as Gigants can be loaded there, and it can transport many loads at once.’

The trailer beside them was steam-based, and it was moving in the opposite direction.

There were five of them, carrying large pieces of cloth wrapped in a luggage compartment along with men and women dressed as merchants sitting around the luggage.

“What is it?”

“Well, it is a flag that I’ve never seen.”

The three of them drove off the side of the road to let the trailers pass.

The trailer halted momentarily, and a dumb-looking man in the first trailer greeted them.

“Hello, men. Where are you traveling to?”

“… Well, how about you?”

Roger, their representative, asked.

“We are peddlers of the Shade Corp. We travel around the rural lands to buy or sell special goods.”

“Shade Corp? I haven’t heard that name before.”

“Hahaha, we just opened recently.”

The man spoke while looking at Luke.

“Which land are you from?”

“We aren’t from a very famous place. We can’t say that any place is so famous these days.”

“Hmm, is that so?”

“Yes, since we are busy, we’ll head first.”

Philip looked disappointed. Luke and Philip moved quickly.

The man, who saw the three of them leaving, spoke to the wizard who was inside the trailer.

“Captain Tigel, he is definitely…”

“We are definitely going to meet the ‘target’ from the Rakan estate. But he is different from what we heard.”

Tigel took out a piece of paper from his hand.

The paper had a description of Luke de Rakan, the young Lord of Rakan estate.
