CHAPTER 87: THEIR NEW TRIP (PART 3)

Seeing how reliable and sturdy the golem looked, Mira said that. Hebi replied with a short but energetic 「My pleasure」 while nodding.The wheels began rattling while a pleasant swaying spread through the wagon. Their land trip felt calm and easy in a different way than the air one was, Mira had only been thinking about speed when flying, but she realized that hearing that rhythmic rattling did not feel that bad either as she glanced at the scenery outside the window.

Their trip was uneventful until they reached the city of Sarut at around noon.Hebi had looked up the address of the Union beforehand, so she carefully led the golem through the city. They were going through a rather well-known street, lined with shops, the street full of people and other carriages. As Mira looked out the window, she saw multiple other carriages being pulled by similar golems, which finally made Hebi’s reasoning click in her head.Most of the buildings in Sarut were made out of wood, while larger or more important ones were made of stone. It felt like she was going through the set of a western movie, seeing many buildings with elaborate designs replicating that style. The entire city was like that, maintaining a certain harmony of wood and stone that formed a peculiar scene.While Mira was entranced by the scenery, they arrived at a two story stone building. The entrance looked like that of a palace, with the symbol that represented the Union throughout the continent carved in it.

「Well, I’ll be going then.」

Arlon got ready to disembark the wagon since he had to go request permission to enter the Libra Fortress.

The paperwork took around five minutes to finish, and when Hebi saw that Arlon was back and everything was in order, she put the wagon in motion again.After that they went to a large inn. It was known for having a really good stable and garage, which Hebi had researched the day before to have a place to safely store the wagon while they were gone. If they took the wagon into the dungeon and Chimera Clauzen arrived afterwards, they would be very easy to spot which would put them on alarm. Even small things like that had to be taken into consideration for their mission.After a few words with the clerk currently in charge, Hebi followed his directions and took the wagon to their garage. Next she discussed things like payment and the days they would leave the wagon there.While that discussion happened, the other three disembarked the wagon.The building was made of wood, and there were many other carriages of varying sizes already there. The clerk that guided them in also wore a workers suit that had seen a lot of use, showing he also diligently performed any maintenance needed on the carriages. Seeing all of that, Mira felt reassured leaving her wagon there.

「Sorry for the wait.」「I feel bad for letting you take care of everything instead.」

Hebi came back from arranging everything and handed the wagon’s parking card to Mira, who replied in that way.

「I don’t mind.」

Hebi’s reply was monotone, but her face looked slightly glad, as well as a bit bashful.

Sarut was frequently visited by adventurers, as Mira could spot many groups of them, who looked visibly strong all around her. In other words, there were many parties of adventurers there. Mira had no qualms at rating in her mind everyone she saw, all the while following Hebi who confidently took the lead for the group.After a while, Hebi took a turn away from the main street. There, they saw many carriages lined up one after another. Looking more carefully, there were also many parties of adventurers there, discussing something with the drivers of the carriages before hopping into them.

「Ohh, a stagecoach.」

After that the group posed as a party of adventurers, ending their trip with no issues and arrived at the Libra Fortress.
