Chapter 61: Brightfield Town
Kai decked out the carriage with a few more features along the way, giving it danger detection, auto defenses and weapons, speed travel mode, and even a flight travel mode. And the best part about all of this was that it came with the [Auto-operate] ability.
Currently, they were traveling at high speeds to Brightfield, avoiding trees, large rubble, other carriages, and everyone on the inside didn’t even feel how fast they were going. Hell, even the bumpy paths they were traveling on felt nice and smooth.
Since they had already started their journey halfway to Brightfield, it only took about an hour to arrive since the carriage was in speed mode.
Kai stuck his head out the window, smiling widely as he looked at the town in the distance. "Finally, we made it. Look at how beautiful those walls are! It’s been so long since we’ve been in a town!"
When they got to the gate, there wasn’t a long line to wait. In fact, more people were leaving than entering. While that wasn’t odd considering how many people travel, Kai still found it weird that the same number of people weren’t entering the town.
"Identification, please." A guard asked as Kai’s carriage pulled up.
"Here you go." Kai handed the guard four IDs. After a minute, the guard nodded and handed them back to him.
"Be careful during your stay here. A lot of people have been infected with the Blight plague. It’s not contagious, but just make sure if you see a person with pale-blue skin with veins bulging out of their face, avoid being scratched or bitten, or you’ll get infected."
"Thank you for your warning, sir." Kai tossed the man a gold coin.
"N-No, thank you for your generosity! It was my pleasure to be of aid to you!" The man bowed so hard that his head sank into the ground.
’Heh, people and the way they act when they get money. I don’t blame them, though. Having money sure is nice.’
