Only My Way

Three days later.

At the gate of 【Blackstone City】, which had just opened, Ling Wuyuan boarded a carriage with a package on his back.

This was a large carriage pulled by four sturdy horses.

It not only contained a large amount of supplies, but also had six or seven people inside.

In addition to this carriage, there were also three other carriages of different sizes in the convoy.

Like this carriage, the other three carriages were also loaded with a large amount of goods and passengers.

Although the road that Ling Wuyuan and the others were about to pass was an official highway opened up by the government, with basically no external dangers, this world ultimately contained all kinds of bandits, beasts, and even demonic beasts and heretical cultivators.

Therefore, in order to ensure their own safety, carriages that were responsible for transporting goods and passengers between various regions would often form large and small convoys to travel together.

In this way, it could be considered as increasing their respective security.

If they were lucky enough to pick up cultivators with good strength as passengers, it would greatly increase the actual safety of the journey, equivalent to hiring a bodyguard for free.

Of course, at this moment.

After looking around, Ling Wuyuan didn't see anyone who looked particularly strong.

Including him, there were a total of three women and five men.

Five adults, one teenager, and two children.

As for the situation inside the other three carriages, he didn't know.

He could only hope that a passing cultivator would appear.

This would also increase his own safety.

Not long after.

The coachman of the carriage began to speak.

He was a middle-aged man of about forty years old.

He could only be described as average-looking, not handsome, not ugly, not fat, not thin, without many distinctive features.

"Our destination this time is 【Five Tea Town】. The total journey will take about a day and a night. During this period, during the day, we will stop and rest for a while every three hours. At night, we will set up a bonfire and rest before night falls..."

While speaking.

The coachman pointed to something on the carriage.

It was something similar to a clock from Ling Wuyuan's previous life.

Moreover, the time units on it were basically the same as in his previous life.

It was just that the cost of this thing was very expensive in this world.

Ordinary people would need to work hard for a month or two to be able to afford it.

The coachman didn't say much, and only spent a few minutes explaining the general process and arrangements for the journey.

While speaking, he glanced at Ling Wuyuan a few more times.

Even after being in the profession for many years, it was still a bit rare to see a passenger as young as Ling Wuyuan traveling alone.

Most of them were either from poor backgrounds or were simply planning to burn their bridges.

Thinking of this.

The coachman shook his head almost imperceptibly.

He understood that although these little devils mostly had some determination in their hearts, the results they obtained were generally not very good.

Soon.

After explaining some safety matters again, the coachman told everyone to make the final preparations, as the carriage was about to depart.

Several minutes later.

As the sky was just beginning to brighten and the sunlight was just shining on the earth.

The carriage set off.

At this moment, listening to the bustling sounds around the city gate, listening to the constant sound of horses' hooves, looking at the gradually distant metal city gate, and gazing at the towering city wall that was at least forty meters high and more than ten meters thick, Ling Wuyuan's heart inexplicably filled with some inexplicable complex emotions, a feeling that his own life was entering the next stage.

After five years.

He had finally left Blackstone City, a city that had brought him countless unlucky memories and where he had struggled to survive for so long, and was heading in a completely new direction...

—

I don't know how long it had been.

In the scenery behind the carriage, the appearance of Blackstone City had completely disappeared.

Only the other carriages, pedestrians, and some trees or animals could be seen around.

Moreover, as the carriage moved farther and farther away from the city area, with the continuous increase in the density of plants, the surrounding thick fog was becoming more and more obvious and dense at this time of early morning.

Deeply illustrating that the country name 【White Mist Country】, with its clear meaning, was ultimately not meaningless.

In this country, let alone the wilderness, even in cities with prosperous populations and few plants, there was a high probability of extremely large-scale thick fog appearing.

Of course.

In the past, Ling Wuyuan's understanding of these things had always been superficial.

Now, he was also coming to the wilderness for the first time.

After watching for a while, his attention gradually shifted from the surrounding thick fog to the traveling speed of the carriage.

Through careful observation.

Ling Wuyuan could judge that the moving speed of the carriage was approximately maintained at about twenty kilometers per hour.

Although it wasn't fast, it was stable and easy.

Throughout the entire process, the four horses responsible for pulling the carriage all seemed to have plenty of energy to spare.

They didn't even pant much.

They were clearly still possessing a large amount of reserve power.

They could accelerate at any time.

You must know that this large carriage was carrying a large amount of supplies and eight people!

Even if you excluded the weight of the carriage itself, that was at least several tons of weight!

While secretly sighing at how strong the horses in this world were.

Ling Wuyuan began to calculate the approximate distance between 【Blackstone City】 and 【Five Tea Town】 based on the journey that the coachman had said before.

First of all, he needed to deduct the time that the convoy would probably need to rest and pause during the journey.

Then, he needed to think about the possible fluctuations in the moving speed of the carriage...

Finally, after a simple estimate, he felt that the actual distance between 【Blackstone City】 and 【Five Tea Town】 was at least about three hundred kilometers. Even in modern civilization, this couldn't be considered short, let alone feudal civilization.

But 【Five Tea Town】 was ultimately just one of the twelve 【Towns】 under the management of 【Blackstone City】.

【Village】, 【Town】, 【City】, 【State】, 【Country】, this was the basic way this world divided its territory.

Although it was a feudal form of civilization, the various countries in this world and the population and territory under their jurisdiction were truly not small.

Thinking that above the 【City】 like 【Blackstone City】 with its actual area, there were still twenty-one 【States】, and that twenty-one 【States】 could form a complete 【White Mist Country】, Ling Wuyuan felt that the 【White Mist Country】 where he was in this life, in terms of land area, could very likely be ranked in the top three in the world in his previous life...

Just like that.

In his observation, time continued to pass.

Finally.

Nothing unexpected happened.

After a day and a night, the convoy successfully caught sight of the town called 【Five Tea Town】.

During this process, after observing when he had nothing to do, Ling Wuyuan also had a real approximate answer for the actual distance of the entire journey.

Approximately three hundred and eighty kilometers to four hundred and twenty kilometers.
