Chapter 98: ride

Views:

The pleasant chartered journey ended in twenty-five minutes.

"Sir, you have arrived."

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

On the side of the road is the 'Delin Car Shop', which has a huge vertical signboard. On the top of the signboard is a wood carving of a horse's head, and at the bottom of the signboard is a wheel.

Two carts without horses were parked at the door.

"Hey, Jason."

"I heard from Klauer that you are going on a long trip?"

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

Black vest, white shirt, trousers, leather shoes, and thinning hair. His face is a bit like the old man in the apartment who handed over his 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."

"While my dad doesn't give people his business card very often, I know what it looks like."

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

"I need to go to the 'Hans' harbor as fast as I can."

After Jason made his only request, he took a sip of lemonade.

The taste is good, sweet and sour, it should be added honey.

"Fastest speed?"

"You have two choices."

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

"The second is the common four-wheeled carriage. The advantage is that the carriage is spacious and can hold more things, but you need a qualified driver and you have to pay for two horse-drawn carriages. This is at least 70 delings."

Delin introduced Jason.

Then, he personally took Jason to see the two carriages.

At the back of the shop, Jason saw the one-person wagon, bright red, with exquisite pockets and herringbone-shaped sheds. There is no doubt that if two people sit on a picnic in the countryside, this is really It is the best choice.

And Jason

After hearing that he needed to drive the carriage by himself, Jason gave up the single traveling carriage.

He knows cars well, but wagons...

Don't know anything.

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

"Can I see the second option?"

Jason asked.

"certainly!"

Delin smiled and pointed to the carriage on the other side.

"Traditional craftsmanship, strong and durable."

"Professors from Egret helped modify the shock absorbers."

"The carriages are resistant to a certain level of attack."

Delin introduced.

"That's it."

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

"You still need a coachman."

"Need my introduction?"

asked Dolin.

"Can."

As he said that, Jason took out the money order given by his aunt and asked, "Can the money order be settled?"

"no problem."

"Jason, I suggest you buy enough food."

"You can buy quite cheap food in Jedalen. Once you leave Jedalen, the strange carriage is a '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 spices, etc."

Although he wondered why Jason needed these strange kitchen utensils, Delin didn't ask much.

Maybe just a picnic on the side

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 coachman also came to report.

He was a middle-aged man in a linen jacket, with an ordinary build, but with a dagger with a sheath on his waist.

"Peters, one of the best coachmen I have here."

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

Delin pointed.

Jason glanced over the short sword, expressing his understanding.

On a long journey, the most important thing to worry about is safety.

Although it won't be as chaotic as the city that never sleeps, some details still need to be paid attention to.

"Hello."

The coachman was obviously not good at words. After greeting Jason, he stood there motionless.

Jason nodded in return.

And Delin quietly pulled Jason aside.

"This is the remaining 120 dellah."

After Delin handed over the rest of the money to Jason, he asked again in a low voice to confirm: "Are you sure you don't need one or two bodyguards? Peters is good, but he... has a bit of a brain. He likes cold weapons. And now a flintlock is enough to kill."

"enough."

"I can handle some troubles."

Jason said with a smile.

"right!"

"You are, after all, a graduate of the Gryphon Camp."

"It's unlucky for those guys to meet you!"

Delin suddenly thought of something, and immediately laughed.

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

"Good luck, Jason."

Delin sent out the car dealership.

"Um."

Jason nodded with a smile, Peters flicked the reins and the carriage headed south.

After the casual conversation just now, Jason has roughly understood the itinerary.

Departing from Jiedanlun, it needs to go through the two big cities of Taur and Rob and dozens of villages and towns, and almost cross half of Xiqi County before reaching the 'Hans' harbor.

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

And now it's September 15th.

Want to arrive at the 'Hans' harbor before the 26th, the time is quite tight.

Therefore, Jason decided to travel day and night.

Of course, at this time, Jason was finally able to open the book given by the old jazz, but just after he had read a few pages, when the carriage had just left the city limits of Jedalen, the carriage was moving steadily and fast. Suddenly slowed down.

"Mr. Jason, there is someone stopping the car ahead."

"It's a lady."

"There is no ambush around."

The coachman Peters said accurately, the carriage did not really stop.

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.

Under the setting sun, the other party's young face was slightly flushed.

It looks youthful and full of vitality.

"Hello."

"Can you give me a lift?"

"My home is in the town of Karl in front."

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

"Peters, stop the car."

Jason said.

Immediately, the coachman stopped the carriage.

And dutifully opened the door.

"Thanks."

After thanking the driver, the girl boarded the carriage.

The girl sat across from Jason and just sat down.

The young girl thanked Jason very sincerely.

"Hi, I'm Denise."

"I went to Jedalen today to play, and I accidentally forgot the time and missed the public carriage."

"Fortunately, you passed by."

"I finally don't have to go back."

"I couldn't be happier."

Jason closed the book silently, and said lightly——

"You, it's too early to be happy."
