265 263 Square Car Union (1/2)
We took the inn, we were walking out of town.
At first, I was going to go back to my guild and find out how to get to the King's Capital, but I asked the innkeeper an interesting story.
”Is that it?”
'Maybe you do. And the roof is blue.'
We'll get to the building we heard about at the inn. It's like a giant stables with a bright blue roof, as you heard. The sign reads' Corner Car Union Branch '.
Welcome ~ ”
Once inside, there was a reception similar to the Adventurer's Guild and a woman in uniform greeted me. Because the race is human, they haven't noticed who Fran is at all.
The Innkeeper was treated like she wouldn't even put it down there. Apparently, the merchant general dealing with many humans instantly realized who she was when she saw Fran evolving even though she was a Black Cat tribe. He even said that he offered me the best room for cheap and that the lodging book would be a family heirloom.
Even though people on different paths did not know the story of Princess Black Thunder, they were surprised to see what they called an evolved Black Cat tribe, stopping their legs. I'm surprised some old men start worshipping.
What do you mean, a legendary, rare beast that makes you happy when you see it? I had a lot of reactions like I saw an impossible thing.
”I want to talk to you”
”Is this your first corner car?
”Mmm.”
The receptionist's sister explains the basics.
Corner cars are vehicles that resemble carriages that let warcraft resemble rhinos, called dual horns. They have fast legs and stamina outweighs horses, so they don't have to take too many breaks. You think you're going to get to your destination nearly twice as fast as the carriage?
Besides, it's a threat F warcraft, so it's hard to get attacked by bandits, other warcraft, etc.
”I see.”
”Check this out”
Your sister shows you one parchment. That was the price list for a corner car.
There's a detailed description of the rental price, the price by distance, and so on. There's also a name for Wang Du.
”I want to go to Wangdu”
”Is it Bestia? That's 40,000 gold on board, 120,000 gold if you rent out one car. You have 10 days.”
”Does it take quite a while?
Time and money. But they can't help it either. A woman shows me a simple map and gives me an explanation.
”This is Grayseal. So, this is the king's capital, Bestia.”
”Not that far?
On the map, from Graciel, located on the eastern coast of the Chrome continent, there is Bestia, the king's capital, in a truly western location.
I don't know the scale right now, but will it take 10 days?
”It's a straight distance and it is...... Check this out.”
Your sister pointed to the green area, painted between the King's Capital and Gracier.
”Scorpion Lion Forest”
”Yes, it will be a forest designated as the Demonic Realm of Rank C. We have confirmed the habitat of Manticore, the warcraft of Threat C.”
That would be difficult for ordinary people to get through the boulders.
”We need to go a long way because this forest is spreading north and south”
”You don't even have a place to get out or anything?
”You can't do it to the average person. If he's some kind of arm adventurer, he's walking through it.”
”I'm an adventurer too”
”I see, but I don't think it's going to be easy on your own, do you?
You're a sweet man. I wouldn't say you can't run out on Fran and think of him as an adventurer. In the first place, I don't even ask you if you have money, and you answer questions politely.
”Erm, most adventurers say they're going to go all the way to this town and through the magic from there, right?
”Argentrapan?”
”Yes. They say if we get into the Scorpion Lion Forest from this town, we can get through the thinnest part of the forest. If you go this far, you may find a party to accompany you”
I see. So do you want to go all the way to that town for now and think about going through the woods or bypassing it? If it was a Rank C enchantment, I think we could get through it...
The question is, how do we get to Argentrapan? If you look on a simple map, heading southwest is going to be easy to arrive at, but it won't be that easy. There are mountains, there are valleys, there are demons. There must be a lot of difficulties not written on the map.
”How long does it take to get to Argentrapan?
”If it's a corner car, it's a day. It's 3,000 gold for the ride and 9,000 gold for the rent out.”
