Chapter 174: High Society Debuts Are Difficult! (4)
"The Ordor Royal Palace is like my own room. Wouldn't it be better to just use 'Wall Climbing' to go straight to the palace? Is there any reason to take a carriage like this?" I frowned as I looked out the window at the fields.This was the Wolf's Plain near the Kingdom of Ordor.It was named the 'Wolf's Plain' because the reeds growing abundantly and swaying in the wind resembled running wolves.While it sounded romantic, it was actually quite eerie in many ways when you actually went there. The reeds grew as tall as a person, making it good for hiding robbers and criminals.
In fact, during my rogue days, I had hidden among the reeds a few times to escape from pursuing knights.
Also, wild animals disrupting the roads and the overly rustic smell of fertilizer spread by nearby farms made it quite an unpleasant place for a city person like me.
If I used the 'Wall Climbing' skill I newly acquired in the desert this time, I could go straight to the Ordor Royal Palace with just one leap.However, Brigitte, who was in the carriage with me, looked out the window and said dreamily.
"It's not good to always take the easy way. We're on a journey to the Ordor Royal Palace, aren't we? Wouldn't it be nice to enjoy the journey along the way? Look at that, it looks like wolves are running!"
Swish— Swish— Swish—
The reeds swayed in the blowing wind.Brigitte seemed excited like a child, perhaps seeing this scenery of Ordor for the first time. Is carriage travel enjoyable?Having grown up in 21st-century civilization, I felt the inefficiency of going out of the way to enjoy the scenery.But thinking about it now, Brigitte's words had some merit. Travel is essentially going somewhere you don't need to go and enduring hardships.I just realized that travel is an extremely inefficient activity.
Anyway.
