In April 1092, the cold wave that had raged throughout the winter quietly receded, and warmth returned to the land.
On a clear morning, Zhou Jinru set out again in his carriage, crossing the Sami border and heading east. The route had already been drawn on his map. It would take him three months to cross the long wilderness and reach Casimir. Then cross the entire territory of Casimir and finally reach the destination of Kazdaele.
Kelsey must be there now, as well as herself in this era, and the princess who has only been seen in files.
What completely made him make up his mind was the stone taken away by Kelsey. The big lynx hid almost everyone, what exactly did she want to do?
"I should be able to meet Tracys in this era. In 1092, did the Kazdaele Civil War start?"
During this journey, Zhou Jinru had food and sleep in the open air with his thoughts in mind, just as he had measured the land of Terra with his legs for nearly a hundred years in the past. At the same time, he also carried a heavy trace of the years.
As he approached Casimir, more and more vehicles could be seen on the road, especially modern internal combustion vehicles. Among the huge convoy, his carriage was particularly eye-catching.
"Brother, your car is full of dust. Where did it come from?"
"It's a little far, Sammy."
The Kuranta mechanic wiped his oily hands on his work clothes, patted the carriage body, and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket: "Do you smoke?"
Zhou Jinru pointed to the Liquid Originium refilling station more than ten meters away. The mechanic awkwardly stuffed the cigarette in his mouth back into his jacket pocket.
He cleared his throat and said thoughtfully: "Brother, you have walked all the way. Even if a person can bear it, the horse will soon die. How about this, sell this carriage to me after depreciation, and I will get you a nice baby."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Jinru was unmoved: "The internal combustion car broke down in the wilderness. There is no place to make a phone call. Do you want me to carry the car away? Have you been to Victoria? Their mounted police still use war horses. As a means of transportation, the wilderness environment is too harsh for cars to move, but livestock can, so don’t bother, I won’t sell it.”
"Don't be like this, brother, we have something to talk about. I like this car very much. Please give me a price."
Zhou Jinru was puzzled: "Why do you have to buy this carriage?"
"Because in two months, the Grand Knights will hold a grand celebration. Do you also want to participate? I can tell you that non-Casimirians cannot participate."
Casimir's Grand Knight leads the celebration?
Zhou Jinru had heard about it occasionally, but had never participated. At this time, he was focused on going to Kazdale, so he didn't pay much attention.
Moreover, the horse-drawn carriage is really a bit slow on the road. If you can switch to an internal combustion vehicle, it is not impossible, as long as it is practical enough.
Seeing that he knew something about it, the mechanic was very interested. He quickly rolled out a motorcycle from the garage and introduced it in a serious manner: "The latest model produced in Colombia, with strong horsepower. The internal combustion engine consumes a very limited amount of Originium Liquid per 100 kilometers. If you replace it with yours, A carriage, hey, brother, you earned it!”
Did I make a profit?
Zhou Jinru glanced at the mechanic, took out a pair of pliers from the bag on his waist, knocked on the cargo frame behind the car, and asked, "What is this?"
"This is……"
Before the car mechanic finished speaking, he knocked on the car seat again, scraping off a layer of green paint, revealing the deep red inside, and stared at the other person with a pair of eyes.
This car may have come from the wrong place.
Although Casimir has accelerated its entry into capital society, what has changed is only the upper structure. It still retains the nobility and aristocratic territory. In other words, in addition to the large mobile cities with feasting and entertainment, the Casimir people living in land towns still retain Living a life in the old era has created a strong separation from the rapidly developing modern society of Casimir.
Therefore, Zhou Jinru had reason to suspect that the car that came out of the dealership was a stolen car. It was hard to say how far it could go on the road.
When the car repairman saw that the strange man from Sami was not wearing a harness, he did not dare to act rashly. After all, traveling through the wilderness alone was not something that only a little bit of skill could do. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said, "Just wait for me for a few minutes."
Ignoring the motorcycle parked on the side of the road, he pushed out another car from the dealership. It was also a motorcycle, much larger than the previous one, and the paint on the body was even and natural, and the workmanship materials were much better.
"This car should be satisfactory."
The mechanic said in pain.
Zhou Jinru didn't say anything. He walked to the motorcycle and knocked on it. The lights had been replaced, and the left fender also showed signs of replacement. This meant that the car had been in a car accident, and it was very likely that someone had died. The original owner could not get it again. , the car dealership doesn’t care how much it earns, as long as it can be pushed out.
"It's almost interesting."
As soon as Zhou Jinru spoke, the mechanic's eyes widened. This was almost meaningless. What did he want?
"That's about it, brother, your carriage isn't worth much either."
"Okay, I don't want anything else. If you have an extra tool box, give me a set and fill it up with fuel. I think it will work."
There must be a toolbox, and it's not very valuable, let alone fuel.
The mechanic breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't too much, he could accept it, and it wasn't a big problem.
After some fiddling, Zhou Jinru changed the carriage into a motorcycle, and his traveling speed was significantly improved. However, he was not used to the churning of the engine underneath him.
Black Rose didn't make such a big move either. Could it be that his taste has been heightened?
It only took a very short time to cross the entire territory of Casimir with the help of this car. After filling up with fuel at the station again, he was about to step into the wilderness, and beyond that was Kazdaele.
However, when leaving the station, the Casimir people gave him a lot of advice, such as not to provoke those nervous demons, and to be especially careful with the Sakaz soldiers, otherwise he would die accidentally.
It seems that Kazdel has a reputation for evil, which Zhou Jinru did not expect.
He moved forward without stopping for much. Soon, a boundary monument appeared in his field of vision.
Casimir rarely does business with Kazdaele. On the one hand, it is difficult to communicate. On the other hand, Kazdaele is not peaceful today. There are wandering mercenaries everywhere. Sometimes these mercenaries will act as protection for caravans. Staff sometimes don't mind playing the role of robbers.
"It seems Kazdare is more chaotic than I thought. I'm afraid a civil war has begun."
Zhou Jinru knew that the princess died in 1094, and it was still more than a year before the collapse of the Tower of Babel. The battle between the two sides was far from the most intense, and there should still be small-scale friction now.
After walking some distance further, a camp appeared in his field of vision. It seemed that there were many people there.
His car was also stopped.
