Chapter 95 - Towards The Orddono City

The day passed and the sun rose. Kadyn stood in front of everyone and smiled. "Is everyone ready?"

"Yes!" they replied in unison. Then Kadyn's gaze fell upon Rayna, Melvona, and Kove. "You three will stay here. The trip can be dangerous. And I don't want any misshape to happen." He gazed at Rayna and continued, "Sister Rayna, take care of Melvona for me."

"I will," Rayna replied with a serious face. "She might not be my child but I have always treated her the same as Kove." 

Kadyn nodded and as he was about to move, something came to his mind and said. "And try not to go out. There is everything available in the shop. You don't need to go out to purchase anything." 

Though Rayna found the request a little peculiar she nodded, nonetheless.

Then Kadyn turned towards everyone and said. "Alright, let's go." 

All of them headed out of the shop. Five four-wheeled carriages were standing on the road, all of them with four corner posts and a fixed roof. The two horses standing in front of each carriage, ready to gallop and drag their wagon at the shout of their drivers who sat on the driving seats, with the bridle in their hands. 

Kadyn and Elora sat in one, while Hot Rod, Khrom, and Dion sat in another. Two carriages were for them while others were for the Artifacts and Potions that they were going to sell in the Orddono City. The carriage had two seats facing each other, two people could sit on either of them.

Previously Kadyn had asked why can't they use cars or lorries to go to Orddono City. Hot Rod replied that the path to the city wasn't suitable for such vehicles. It was filled with sloppy mountains and dense forests and valleys. There was nothing like a road. The cars were only fit for cities. They can't travel in them to different places. 

Most importantly the cars needed a magus to power them up. How could they exhaust their mana when they knew that the path was dangerous, bandits could attack any moment. It was best to preserve their energy. He also couldn't use Magic Stones. 

After all, he needed to exchange them with energy points and that wasn't worth it as every stone needed a single energy point to exchange. How many energy points would he spend before reaching the Orddono? He could not even begin to think about it. 

Elora looked at Kadyn and asked. "Where are we going to meet with the Irabel family?"

"Outside the city gates." He replied. Then he said to the driver. "Let's go."

"Wait!'' Just as the driver was ready to move, a shout came from not far away. Kadyn lifted the curtains of the carriage and peered towards the source and saw a figure dashing in his direction. He knew who it was. He exchanged glances with Elora. The latter shook her head as she had no idea why she was here.

"Why are you here?" Kadyn asked when Zelie arrived in front of the wagon. She was huffing while drops of sweat trickled from her smooth skin. She calmed her breathing before replying. "I also want to go to the Orddono City."

"Why do you want to go there?" He asked, glancing at her in confusion.

"What kind of question is that?" Zelie rolled her eyes at him and went on. "I want to see the Shado Empire's capital. Is that reason enough?"

Kadyn found his lips twitching at her words. How docile she was acting not long ago. But after spending time with Elora in his shop she understood Kadyn's character — he wasn't like those petty and arrogant nobles who would feel grudge at every minor thing. And she knew that.

"Did you tell your father?" he asked.

"Of course," she said with a confident tone. "Do you think I would do such a thing without telling my father?"

"Yes."

"You…" 

"Alright, come inside," Elora said. "We are getting late."

Zelie pouted and stuck her tongue out at Kadyn and climbed on the carriage. Kadyn sat on his seat and said with an annoyed voice. "What are you waiting for? Move!"

As he shouted the five wagons set into motion. Kadyn's carriage was at the very front while Khrom and others were taking the rear so they would know immediately if anything was amiss.

However, as the wagons moved a light covered the entire Magic Shop. When the light vanished there was only blank space. The shop was missing.

Inside the carriage, a small light flickered on Kadyn's hand and then vanished. He curled his lips and looked at the two ladies who were whispering among themselves.

——

It took about ten minutes to exit the city. The carriage stopped and Kadyn exited with two beauties. He glanced around and spotted over twenty wagons lining the road. People were carrying large boxes, arranging them inside delicately. As he arrived all of them turned towards him, looking curiously.

However, the main focus wasn't him but two beauties beside him. Some even whispered among themselves, but none of them dared to approach. It seems that they already knew who he was. Or most probably, they knew who Zelie was. She was a famous personality of Avibria City. She was beautiful and on top of that, she was Leader Barret's only daughter.

Kadyn heard the jealous whispers and curled his lips. He was enjoying this feeling. But at this moment a peal of hearty laughter came not far away from him. "Haha, mister Kadyn is quite punctual."

He turned around and saw a middle-aged man walking towards him. He was about seven feet tall, with a robust body; he had long hair and a short beard. He looked rather dashing. 

Kadyn returned the smile and said. "How would I dare to let Patriarch Irabel wait."

"Haha, Mister Kadyn is quite humorous." He laughed and then he stared at Zelie beside him. "Does Miss Zelie also want to go to the Orddono?"

"Yes," Zelie replied nonchalantly. 

Kadyn was surprised at her dry reply. He also spotted a little fluctuation on Patriarch Irabel's face but he hid it before others could see.
