Chapter 3 Ride

The pleasant chartered journey ended in twenty-five minutes.

Sir, you are here.

Following the coachman's voice, Jason got out of the carriage with his bag in hand.

On the side of the road is the 'Derlin Car Dealer', with a huge vertical signboard. At the top of the signboard is a wooden carving of a horse's head, and at the bottom of the signboard is a wheel.

Two cars without horses were parked in front of the door.

Hey, Jason.

I heard Claure say you're going away?

After Jason pushed the door and walked in, a man who seemed to be in charge came over.

A black vest, white shirt, trousers, leather shoes, a little bit of hair, and a face a bit like the old man in the apartment who handed him the business card.

So, I don't have to hand you Old Delin's business card?

Jason asked back.

This made the middle-aged Delin laugh out loud.

Of course not.

Although my dad didn't give out business cards very often, I knew what it was like.

Delin was joking, and then, after signaling the man to pour Jason a glass of lemonade, he asked, What kind of carriage do you need, Jason? I'll give you the lowest price.

I need to be able to go to the 'Hans' harbour as quickly as possible.

Jason took a sip of lemonade after making his only request.

It tastes good, sweet and sour, probably with honey.

Fastest speed?

You have two options.

The first is a traveling carriage driven by yourself. It is a two-wheeled carriage with a carriage pocket. It has a convenient carriage that can be pulled up and closed. Your things can be put in the carriage pocket. You just need to add an extra sleeping bag to sleep at night. No problem, and because you drive yourself, you only need a horse, and the price will be very cheap, only 30 derrings.

The second is the common four-wheeled carriage. The advantage is that the compartment is large and can hold more things, but you need a qualified coachman, and you have to pay for the cost of two horse-drawn carriages, which is at least 70 derrings.

Delin introduced Jason.

Then, personally took Jason to see two kinds of carriages.

At the back of the store, Jason saw the single-person traveling carriage, bright red, with delicate pockets and a fishbone-shaped support. There is no doubt that if two people sit on a picnic in the suburbs, this is really true. is the only choice.

And Jason?

After hearing he needed to drive the wagon himself, Jason abandoned the one-person touring wagon.

He is familiar with cars, but with carriages...

Know nothing.

Moreover, considering that you need to read the books given by the old jazz on the road, the second choice is naturally the best.

Can I see the second option?

Jason asked.

certainly!

Delin smiled and pointed to the four-wheeled carriage on the other side.

Traditional craftsmanship, strong and durable.

Egret's professors helped modify the suspension.

The carriage can withstand a certain level of attack.

Delin introduced.

That's it.

Jason, who already had a choice, said simply after hearing Delin's introduction.

You also need a coachman.

Need my introduction?

Delin asked.

Can.

With that said, Jason took out the bill of exchange given by his aunt and asked, Can the bill of exchange be settled?

no problem.

Jason, I suggest you buy enough food.

You can buy quite cheap food in Jedalun. Once you leave Jedalun, the strange carriage is the 'big fat sheep' in the eyes of some guys.

Delin kindly reminded.

Can these be given to you?

I also need pots and pans, a charcoal stove, a grill,

some seasonings etc.

While wondering why Jason needed these odd kitchen gadgets, Delin didn't ask much.

Maybe just a picnic by the way?

With this thought in mind, Delin began to arrange for the guys to get busy.

In about an hour or so, everything was done.

The driver also came to report.

It was a middle-aged man in a sackcloth coat, with an ordinary stature, but with a short sword with a sheath around his waist.

Peters, one of the best coachmen I have here.

Not only can you drive all kinds of carriages, but you can also ensure that you avoid unnecessary trouble, Jason.

Delin meant something.

Jason glanced at the dagger, expressing his understanding.

In the long run, the most important thing to worry about is safety.

Although this place will not be chaotic like the city that never sleeps, there are still some details that need to be paid attention to.

Hello.

The driver was obviously not good at words. After greeting Jason, he stood still.

Jason nodded in return.

And Delin quietly pulled Jason aside.

This is the remaining 120 derings.

After Delin handed over the remaining money to Jason, in order to confirm, he asked in a low voice again, Are you sure you don't need one or two bodyguards? Peters is good, but he... his head is a bit old-fashioned, and he likes cold weapons. , and now a flintlock can kill you.

enough.

I can handle some trouble.

Jason said with a smile.

right!

You are a graduate of Camp Griffin after all.

Those guys are unlucky when they meet you!

Delin suddenly thought of something, and immediately laughed.

After the guys put the food, water, pots and pans, barbecue grills, etc. needed for the journey on the roof of the wagon, Jason was ready to go.

Good luck to you, Jason.

Delin sent out the garage.

Um.

Jason nodded with a smile, and Peters flicked the reins to head south.

After the casual conversation just now, Jason has a general understanding of this itinerary.

Starting from Jiedalun, it is necessary to pass through two large cities of Taoer and Rob, as well as dozens of villages and towns, almost across most of Xiqi County, before reaching the 'Hans' harbour.

If the carriage travels normally, it will take about 9-10 days.

And now it's September 15th.

I want to arrive at the 'Hans' port before the 26th, and the time is quite tight.

Therefore, Jason decides to go all the way.

Of course, at this time, Jason was finally able to open the book given by the old Sir, but just after he studied a few pages, when the carriage had just left the urban area of Jedalun, the carriage moved steadily and fast. Suddenly slowed down.

Mr. Jason, someone stopped the car ahead.

It's a lady.

No one is in ambush around.

The coachman Peters said accurately, and the carriage did not stop in the true sense.

Obviously waiting for Jason to decide.

Through the car window, Jason could see a girl in a sarong standing on the side of the road waving her arms.

In the setting sun, the young face of the other party was flushed with a faint blush.

It looks youthful and full of vitality.

Hello.

Can you give me a ride?

My home is right in front of Carr Town.

The young girl obviously noticed Jason's observation, and opened her mouth to say when the carriage was about to pass by.
