Chapter 52 (1/2)

– Adventurer Life Day 57 (Mon) – Morning – Main Road

Yesterday, despite there being light rain, it didn't affect the trip too much, and the caravan trip went on rather quickly

We were able to reach the village of Marda, which was one village ahead of the village we had originally planned to stay in

And right noe have just left Marda and are continuing on down the e of Marda is the closest to the ‘Garha Forest', which acts as a border between the territories of Coh this forest s a little different for our trip, as it would take several hours to cross it, and there would be amonsters here…

It's because of that, the entrance through the forest would sometimes be called, ‘Jaw of Garha'

Needless to say, there have been frequent deaths here

To put hest development would be the southern countries, while the northern have a lower level of population density, agricultural productivity, cultural level, and trading environment The main road only acts as it's only connection between Co the territory from the south, the trip becomes completely safe, and the escorts could finally relax… it's quite an odd contrast fro of the trip

However, that is only because the majority of thewithin the outer borders Making passing through this forest, the erous of this trip

It was the reason why it was preferable to stay the night at Marda, as it would help us cross the forest earlier than it would've

(H over there?)

We had just left the village… and Centurion was in front of us, looking inside a hooded caravan suspiciously…

“Teii-!!”

“ouch!?”

What the heck is he doing!?

I hurried there in a fluster, and behind the caravan was a lady sitting in tears Just as I was about to ask Centurion what he was doing, the lady spoke up to me first

“Ah… I'm sorry I asked this person here to hit ht MASTER I did NOT hit for REAL Only LIGHT enough to WAKE her up”

“…… If you get weird requests like that from other people, I'd prefer if you tellwhatever he likes as usual…

However, this person isn't the only one having a probleely haven't been any probleh this is supposed to be a good thing, itBecause of that, it gets a number of inexperienced escorts tired and lose focus

Though,on the surroundings for so long

“… The hway… has traces fro since the h I don't know the details…”

(… I'uide like explanation… but who?)

“Uwaa – !?”

The one ht behindwith his eyes open!?)

No wait, he's even walking too and keeping in formation… because of that, I didn't notice it at all…

If I have to be blunt, it's a little creepy… and before I noticed it, Centurion had looht behind him

“Teii-!!”

“Geh-!”

“H – hey… ?”

Cesar looked back after getting hit on the head by Centurion

“Ah… Ow-ouch… ah, you woke me up Thanks for that”

You too!?

“In other words you see… I have no idea what the person had inthis road…”

“Ha… How far does this road even go?”

“Yeah, about that, hear this! It see the sea!”

“H?”

It see the highway, though it see to keep themselves awake

“Mhm Once we enter the ‘white road', we should be done with this place”

“Oh, Phillips?”

Phillips, who had been keeping vigilance and had not entered a conversation this whole ti to adjust his way of speaking to fit in this tiht now, you don't really have to keep such a high vigilance here…”

“That does sees frorass et a surprise attack at this place

“Speaking of which, is the ‘White Road', you hway from your time?”

“That is correct… and by around here, the road would end once it reached another city”

It's kind of vague from the way Phillips described it… well, he had been inside as a spirit for who kno many hundreds of years, and he was trapped inside that cave the whole ti to his stories from the past, I could tell there's quite a lot he doesn't res froo, he see as he was able to on Sundays, he had been visiting the city walls quite frequently… he seemed to have been rid of er, but the feeling of nostalgia still see in him

We on continued along the road without problems

The conversation between ain

So the naion' is exactly as it is… a vast nuesture”

“Oh? Did you know the ion' was a reference froh it should have been an old french word from what I remembered
