Chapter 94: Mawa City

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“Master, within 10 miles, we will arrive at Mawa city,” said Steward Ken said to Abel from the carriage.

“Already?” Abel stuck out his head. The carriage that Abel was riding was specifically designed for this trip. It was exactly the same as the one as Lord of Marshall’s at the front.

Originally, Abel was planning to travel in the same carriage with the Lord of Marshall during this trip to Bakong city. However, when Loraine heard that Abel would need to go on a long trip, her big sparkly eyes began to water up and stared at Abel, begging him to bring her along. After an entire morning of staring, Abel surrendered. Now, the carriage had to acquire one more passenger.

Not only Loraine, but Black Wind also noticed that Abel was backing up for a long trip. So that clever mount wolf had been making “woo-woo” sounds nonstop. So, the soft hearted Abel decided to bring it along as well. It might not be an entirely bad idea since he could continue to help Black Wind do the mount enhancing spell during this trip. Just like that, the carriage was jammed with another passenger.

According to steward Lindsey, a single medal Lord such as Abel must bring his own steward to the Lord awarding ceremony to take care of the documents. Therefore, with more and more passengers going on this journey, Abel had decided to make another carriage.

Seeing the gigantic city emerge from a distance, Abel couldn’t wait to go inside and have a rest. Not because he was tired, but Loraine had not washed her face in days. Even Black Wind would relentlessly rub himself against the sides of the carriage.

They brought along three carriages during this trip. The one at the front was the Lord of Marshall’s super bull carriage. Abel also had the same carriage, which was following closely behind. Both of these carriages were each pulled by two inferno bulls. The carriage at the end was just a normal carriage holding the armor of Abel and the Lord of Marshall, and everyone’s luggage.

There were 20 Knight servants guarding these three carriages. Abel had treated them very well. They were all given some beginner combat qi enhancing potion. Abel had more than enough in his portal bag anyway. Bakong city was not a peaceful place. It was where big nobles gathered. The conflicts between nobles and royal were also non stop. Therefore these 20 knights servants must increase their power to fight off anyone with bad intent.

“Loraine, soon we will be able to wash our faces and have a rest,” Abel said to Loraine, as her eyes seemed like she wanted to ask Abel a question.

After hearing that they would soon be able to wash their faces, Loraine was so happy even her eyes could not be seen. Then she gently said, “that’s great. Even Black Wind is dirty.”

Black Wind was lethargically laying on the center of the carriage. However, after it heard someone say its name, it suddenly jumped up with excitement, wiggling its tail towards the direction of Loraine.

Seeing the half a human tall Black Wind pretending to be cute by wiggling its tail, Abel lightly padded it’s head and said with a laugh, “you are a mount wolf, not a dog!”

Ignoring the rub of Black Wind, Abel turned towards Steward Ken and repeated, “Ken, come seat inside. It’s outside was way too hot.”

Steward Ken replied, “Master, don’t worry about me. I belong in this spot!” Ken was a stubborn steward. Every time they went on a trip, steward Ken would always care about how Harry castle come across to others. To him, sitting in the same carriage with his master was a very undignified thing to do for Harry castle. No matter how hot it was outside, steward Ken wouldn’t come inside to enjoy the air conditioner within the carriage.

Abel lightly shook his head and turned the air conditioner in level 10. He then opened the window of the carriage and let some of the cool air blew onto the back of steward Ken.

Originally, this type of long journey under the summer heat, going through these bumpy roads, was a thing of torture. However, these two super bull carriage which Abel had created not only had an air conditioner powered by ice runes, it also had springs as shock absorbers. Therefore, the five days journey had become somewhat tolerable for Abel and the passenger within the carriage. Only the steward, carriage driver, and underling had to withstand these harsh conditions.

At the moment, the white unicorn with a red background coat of arms on the carriage had come in handy again. The carriage did not stop for the guard and directly entered Mawa City through the noble entrance. Abel, thankfully, looked at the ordinary citizens waiting in line under the blazing summer heat on his left, suffering this torture just to get into Mawa city.

Loraine stuck out her head, curiously stared at those people waiting in line. She asked gently, “we don’t have to wait in line on this side, why don’t they come here?”

“Their status was not high enough, so they can’t use this entrance for nobles!” Abel explained. Loraine then followed up, “the elves don’t have different status separating the nobles from ordinary people.”

“All elves are sons and daughters of the goddess of nature. No matter if the elf is a noble or an ordinary citizen, we are all members of the elf species, there are no status differences.” Said Loraine, sounding like a saint.

Abel looked at Loraine like she had been brainwashed, but he didn’t say much. Everyone had their own religion and beliefs in this world. Even the Lord of Marshall and Abel would pray before eating.

Their team of the carriage had stopped in front of a huge hotel. After the two stewards had booked a level of rooms, Abel led Loraine off the carriage. The moment they left the carriage, they felt a wave of heat rushed towards them. He could not help but step back. At the same time, the Lord of Marshall was also stepping out of his carriage and made the same motion. The two exchanged gazes and began to laugh at each other.

Black Wind followed it’s master off the carriage. The moment it felt the heatwave, it almost jumped up and immediately want to return to the carriage. Abel had a quick eye, he reached his hand and grabbed Black Wind back. Black Wind had no choice. He could only stick out its tongue and follow behind its master. Even his often energetic tail was dragging along the floor.

“Abel, ‘this is your greatest invention!” Exclaimed the Lord of Marshall, pointing towards the carriage.

“Do you think anyone else can even afford this carriage?” Abel had seen many very wealthy nobles in Harvest City. However, despite Marshall Castle having hundreds of years of history, the value of all of its collection adds up would definitely not exceed 10000 old coins. Therefore, Abel didn’t really believe anyone could afford this super bull carriage he had built.

“You need to travel more. Harvest City is only a small city on the edge of the human world. It had only become famous because of agriculture.” Said the Lord of Marshall as he walked alongside Abel.

When entering the hotel, Abel felt a sudden breeze of cool air. It was a lot cooler inside than outside. In the corner of the hotel was a copper bucket. Abel sensed the cool air was coming from there.

“What is that?” Abel asked the Lord of Marshall curiously.

A plump middle-aged man wearing a luxurious suit was just walking by. When he heard these words from Abel, he turned and looked at Abel and gave him and his group a look of despise. From that look, the man realized there were an elf and a half human sized mount wolf in their ground.

“That is a bucket full of ice,” said the Lord of Marshall. He finally had the chance to teach Abel something. The moment when he was about to explain to Abel in detail about how to store ice blocks. Abel began to say “How could I never think of that idea. We should dig an ice chamber in the winter to store ice, then we can use it in the summer.”

The Lord of Marshall tiredly waved his hand. He no longer cared about Abel’s education, but as the step father of a genius, it was very time-consuming in preparation for this trip to Bakong city. He spent a lot of time thinking about how he would answer his family when the topic of parenting came up–especially those old bastards. They thought since he had chosen the remote Harvest City as his knight estate, he was no longer useful. They just threw him a bit of money and pretended he never existed. This time, when the Lord of Marshall came back to Bakong City, he would need to have a good chat with them about parenting.

That middle age men with a luxurious suit continued to stare at the elf and the mount wolf with a hint of greediness. He did not leave straight away. Instead, he found a space in the guest lounge and sat down.

Abel’s power of the will was very sensitive to gazes with bad intent. He turned his head around and noticed that middle age men’s gaze. That middle age man, did not expect anyone to notice him, so he was caught off guard and swiftly turned his gaze away.

“Just another noble” after Abel had given out this definition, he began to move on. These nobodies didn’t deserve his attention.

“You, go ask them what status are they,” Said the middle age men to his servant next to him.

After a while, the servant returned and said: “master, that is a coat of arms knight and his family.”

The middle age men stunned for a while. Although he was also the title of a lord, only an insignificant one, he doesn’t even have a coat of arms or estate. How could he offend one of those coat of arms Knights.

The middle age man could not reconcile, he said, “although I might not be able to offend them, someone might. Go spread the news that a knight with an elf and a mount wolf entered Mawa city.”

The Lord of Marshall still had not officially declared by the king as a lord. Therefore, he could only use the title of a coat of arms knight. If the middle age men knew that he was facing a coat of arms lord. He would never do this.
