Journeying with the Caravan

The journey would be with a caravan, with me accompanying them as an escort, just like last time. It was much more convenient in many ways to travel with a Caravan than to procure a carriage myself and cover such a long distance. Of course, that meant traveling with many people, but I could tolerate that much now.

Perhaps because something had completely broken out there this time, there were quite a few merchants moving, having caught the scent of money. Of course, there would be risks, but risk was how money was made.

Thanks to that, we were able to quickly find a group to travel with, though we were briefly suspected because of Neria...

“Hmm? Is this person an Adventurer too?”

“She is. Doesn't she have an Adventurer Card here?”

“No, she looks a bit young... and her build is small. She doesn't look like she could even hold a sword.”

“She's a Mage. I guarantee her Skill.”

“Well, if that's the case... you're welcome.”

Still, we passed without much difficulty. Anyway, they wouldn't know she was a Manifestor just by looking at her face. Honestly, Adventurer Cards were very easy to forge. In the Middle Ages, the *ad hoc* way things were handled was quite helpful in times like these.

As we entered the procession of carriages, countless people became visible around us: coachmen driving horses, porters moving goods, and adventurers escorting them...
