Speaking of travel.
There are still very few ways to travel in this world.
The most luxurious one, of course, is the airship, but its popularity is quite low, and its strategic value is greater, so it is rarely used as a means of transportation.
Of course, except for a certain princess I know.
Next are the magic-powered trains and ships. These are considered relatively advanced modes of transportation in this era. And with the emergence of people from other worlds like us, it seems that the development of these two technologies has also improved a lot recently.
Of course, there are also those who use hot air balloon airships, but they are not very efficient.
However, don't expect things like cars for now. Although I believe that many people who come to this world have the ability to develop cars, someone even developed a means of transportation. But so far, no one has wanted to popularize it.
I guess it's because it's too troublesome?
Or for some other reason, I don't know, well, since everyone doesn't care, I don't care either.
So, by my calculations...
Our means of transportation will be carriages and horse riding.
Carriages?
This is a good choice, but... after considering the personnel, I found that this is not a good choice.
Taishi Xi - warrior, wants to ride a horse.
Loyce - warrior, wants to ride a horse.
Aliyah - warrior, can ride a horse.
Oyado - assassin, doesn't want to be anywhere other than up a tree.
Teacher Mary - mage, the only one who wants to ride in a carriage.
And so the problem arises.
Do you want to be in a carriage with a teacher who has demonic thoughts and a mature body?
The answer is, I want to, but I dare not.
As a pure-minded, virtuous, morally sublime outstanding youth, my sixth sense tells me that nothing good will happen if I sit in the same carriage with her.
So, with the support of the majority, our journey began with horse riding.
Hey, looking at my level 3 equestrian skill, I can already anticipate what will happen next, but... I considered this and prepared anti-dizziness medicine in my backpack.
As long as I persevere for a while, my equestrian skill level will improve, naive as I thought.
But since we have horses to ride, let's not complain too much. Compared to the protagonists who rely on their feet to explore the entire map, our conditions are already much better. Let's be content.
We continued along the eastward stone road, and soon the academy was no longer in sight.
We couldn't even see anyone passing by on the road, only occasionally seeing road signs, telling us that we were indeed moving.
"By the way, besides Taishi Xi, has anyone here been to farther places?"
Suddenly, Teacher Mary asked.
"I came from the Chelfa Kingdom, just a commoner."
Speaking of it, I have an Asian face, but why didn't I appear in the Eastern Continent like Bai Yueguang and the others? Strange.
Well, I don't care to find out.
"A commoner... huh?"
After hearing that, Teacher Mary smiled and looked at the others.
"I don't even remember where I came from, because I've been with my grandpa in the mercenary group since I started remembering things."
Loyce thought for a moment before answering.
"So, going to school is my first time, and it feels so difficult."
"Oh, I see, but are you really okay with going to the academy with us? What about your job over there..."
I worriedly asked.
"Of course, I'm fine," Loyce said happily.
"Because I am currently working part-time as a guardian in the academy."
"Is... that so?"
Hey, hey, hey, are you sure it's okay for a guardian like you to participate in the match with us? I haven't heard about this at all before.
Well, since the school has no objections, I naturally have no objections either.
"I'm from the Ais Empire~ I haven't been anywhere else since I was born."
A voice came from behind me. I turned my head and saw that Oyado, who was in the forest, had somehow sat behind me at some point.
But since she didn't touch me and only held onto the saddle with her hand, I didn't feel her on my horse at all.
"I...I forgot the name of that place, but basically, I defeated the famous thief there and was recommended by the local city guard captain to Duoge Academy. That's about it," Aliyah said.
Speaking of which, Aliyah never mentioned what happened from the beginner village to Duoge Academy, but I suppose it's similar to mine.
"What about you, teacher?"
"Me?" Teacher Mary thought for a moment and then smiled.
"That's a woman's secret~"
I rolled my eyes at her.
Who the hell hired this teacher, misleading the students.
"Oh, we're about to leave the academy grounds," Mary said. "Looking ahead, the stone-paved road has turned into one made of gravel. Although it's still quite even, it has downgraded a level."
"Are there no other countries nearby? How come the road has changed like this?"
"Oh Fir, stop complaining. This is the border area between two countries, so having a gravel road is already considered decent."
"How far are we going today and when will we reach the next city?"
"Well~ camping isn't too bad..."
When she said that, our group all looked at her.
Aside from us few from different worlds, taking a bath every day is normal.
Oyado has gotten used to it because of me and also takes baths every day.
And Loyce, who we influenced, isn't any different.
Camping means no hot showers.
So the crowd looked at her with terrifying eyes.
"Alright, alright, I know! I know! Since we're not paying, all we need to do is arrive at a mining town called 'Musta' before 8 PM, and there will be an inn there."
"But what's the problem?"
Since she said that, there must be a reason why it's difficult for us to reach there.
"Because that town is quite remote, there is no direct road on the updated map, only the location of the village...this location seems like...we have to walk through the forest directly, but I think we'll get lost if we go straight through."
"No need to worry about that."
I sighed.
I looked at the map and then looked at the rough direction on the mini map, and a Frost Totem was released!
The straight Frost Totem passed through the woods and extended into the depths of the forest.
"Let's go, we won't get lost this way, right?"
"Mages would absolutely be scared if they knew you were using magic like that."
"Why? Because I'm too smart?"
"No, too extravagant."
