Louis came back around three o'clock in the afternoon, but it took him two hours to carry all the supplies back from the One-Punch Man world and complete the inventory.
Anfei, the former Lehmann family caravan flag bearer and current Louis' exclusive personal businesswoman, looked at the supplies piled up like a hill with joy and helplessness.
Carrying a turkey that Louis brought from City A to test whether he could bring living animals through time, Anfei felt helpless while pressing the lively turkey:
"Master, there are so many things, and our carriage may not be enough to carry them all."
Louis scratched Anfei's nose: "Don't worry, just pile these on the cart first. I think the remaining cart is enough to carry the other supplies."
"Um, is that iron cart without horses? Is it a new wizard prop driven by some kind of magic power in the wizard's territory?"
"No, that's Wuling Hongguang."
"???"
Anfei was confused as she looked at the luxurious car, which was made entirely of steel, with glazed windows all around. The wheels were made of unknown alchemical substances. In this lower-level productivity, which was comparable to the medieval Sophia continent, the whole car stood out. The word trench.
Although, Anfei admitted that the car her young master moved here was really luxurious and very high-end. Even from the perspective of durability, it was better than those carriages that only used iron for key parts.
The problem is that they have no extra horses. Without horses, how can this car move?
Well, considering that this thing came from the territory of a legendary wizard, it might be an extremely rare alchemy vehicle that can only be seen in the royal capital. It is driven by magic power, but -
"How many magic stones will be burned?"
Anfei, who has been in business for many years and has developed a personality that is obsessed with money, has a twitch in the corner of her eye.
She admitted that the goods Louis brought back were very precious, but if the rest of the journey relied entirely on burning magic stones to transport the goods, she, she...
She would rather go and pull the cart by herself than consume the magic stone.
"Ahem, you're thinking too much." Louis helplessly held his forehead and pulled Anfei into the passenger seat. He ran to the driver's seat and fastened his seat belt: "Be careful not to get strangled."
"What?"
If you have a seat belt, you don't have to worry about knocking your head due to inertia, but if you are not prepared, you may get strangled. Considering that you just measured the thickness of the front armor when you put the seat belt on Anfei, it might cause a break.
——By the way, is Anfei a little older? Next time I go to the mall to buy underwear, I will give you a larger number.
With Louis' reminder, Anfei didn't know what was going on, but at least she made some preparations. So when Wuling Hongguang roared and started, although Anfei was surprised and unprepared, except for swaying a little, let There was nothing more than a feast for Louis' eyes.
On the contrary, it was what Anfei thought was an alchemy vehicle. She was surprised by the speed and movement of this Wuling Hongguang.
"The movement is louder than that of an alchemy vehicle, but it's still acceptable. The speed, well, if the pointer on this plate is true, then the top speed of this car is worth looking forward to. The most important thing is - it has no magic power fluctuations?"
Anfei's eyes lit up. As we all know, any alchemy or witchcraft props will have large or small fluctuations in magic power when activated. After all, magic is the source of all extraordinary things.
But this car doesn’t!
Anfei seemed to have discovered a new business opportunity, but Louis quickly poured cold water on her.
"Don't think too much. The daily maintenance of this thing and the supply of gasoline are not guaranteed in the Hessian Kingdom, or even in the entire civilized world. If you rely on your young master and me to move it, the best we can do is to move it ourselves. For personal use.”
Anfei's little head drooped in despair: "Okay, Master Louis."
Louis rubbed her little head in a funny way: "Okay, although the car business can't be done, the bicycle business can be done, and it's not just this kind of transportation tool, many of the things I brought are enough. You open up new business opportunities.”
Hearing what Louis said, Anfei regained her fighting spirit.
The two debugged Wuling Hongguang, and Anna and Croshan also placed the goods in categories. Most of them were placed on strange alchemy vehicles that did not use magic power or horses and livestock. The extra horses were even tied to the back beam of the vehicle.
Such a bloated team is not slow. Most of the load is carried by the tireless small trucks. The burden on the horses is actually smaller than before. Apart from anything else, they carry the same volume of toilet paper and armor. Which one is heavier? Light and obvious.
In this way, Louis and his party, who were on the road in a light car, did not take half a day to catch up with the Muller family caravan that had left earlier. Under the gaze of the new flag bearer of the family caravan, Shi Shiran's After passing the caravan, this group of people opened their mouths wide and took a mouthful of exhaust fumes.
——Congratulations, you are the first indigenous people on the continent of Sophia to smell the fragrance of industrialized society!
After wandering around for about three days, Louis and his party finally arrived at their original destination - Kataria, the capital of Newland, a large province on the eastern border of the Kingdom of Hesse.
Along the way, Louis had supplies at any time. There were no problems with the newly purchased Wuling Hongguang. It did not lose its chain. Instead, it was the horses and the bad road conditions that held it back. Whether it was the horses resting and eating on the way, or letting Anna, The bumpy road made Anfei and Croshan feel the feeling of motion sickness for the first time. Louis estimated that this journey was only three hundred miles long at most, and it took three days to complete.
Three hundred miles, that's 150 kilometers. On asphalt roads, Wuling Hongguang can reach it in two or three hours no matter how heavy the burden is. I didn't expect that it would take three days in a different world with such poor infrastructure. .
But this is already extremely fast, because according to Anfei, when she took her family caravan to do business in Newland Province, such a journey would take at least seven or eight days, and there would be some problems in the middle. Small accidents or whatever, it will be extended.
He showed his knighthood medal to the city guards guarding the west gate of Cataria, the capital of the north. The soldiers guarding the city suddenly became amiable and began to inspect the goods behind the car casually, especially After Anfei handed over a few silver coins, the inspection upon entering the city became more formalized. After a quick look, they were allowed into the city.
Louis, who had been driving for three days on such bad road conditions as Sofia mainland and was lucky enough not to have an accident, was already an experienced driver. He whistled and drove his car skillfully along the entire city of Kataria. The stone road along the axis drives forward.
At the gate at the back, a new recruit who had just joined the army asked the veteran on the side with some confusion.
"Ahem, where did such a strange alchemical creation come from? Senior, do we really not want to check it carefully anymore?"
The veteran Youzi on the side happily kissed a silver coin he had just harvested. Hearing this, he rolled his eyes: "Check? What are you checking for? Is that the gentleman just now?"
"Yes, what if it was caused by those barbarians in the east-"
"Ahem, be careful, boy!" Veteran Youzi covered the recruit's mouth: "Didn't you see clearly the coat of arms and knighthood that His Excellency just showed?"
"Um, the other party is famous?"
