There was a familiar knock on the door, accompanied by Akzan's unique clear voice: "It's me! Little mute girl! Your handsome friend Akzan is here to visit!"

When Theresa opened the door, she saw Akzhan appear again, still appearing and disappearing mysteriously, making it impossible to predict his whereabouts.

As night fell, Theresa had packed everything and prepared to embark on her journey.

Despite the scorching sun, he still wore a heavy black leather coat and seemed not to care about the heat at all.

Are you planning to blend into the darkness?

"You're ready, Harvey told me you've already met. That's great. This way, at least you won't be too curious and look around in front of the steam train, looking uncouth." His words revealed his usual lightheartedness.

Humph, it's just a steam locomotive, I've seen a lot of them. What would you think if I told you I've even seen airplanes flying in the sky?

If I could have made this a reality, the story might have turned out completely differently.

Theresa put on her small shoulder bag, ignored Akzhan's teasing, and left the room.

"This kid didn't even turn off the lights or close the door." Akzan muttered and followed.

......

Harvey had already prepared the gorgeous carriage and was waiting respectfully in front of the guild gate, awaiting the arrival of Theresa and Akjan.

"Can we set off now, both of you? Check to see if there's anything we left behind." Harvey respectfully opened the curtain of the carriage and asked Theresa to get in gracefully.

Another journey was about to begin, but this time it should be much more comfortable. Theresa slowly got into the car, while Akzhan walked slowly towards the front of the car and sat steadily in the driver's seat.

"It's really my great honor to have this top-level adventurer drive the carriage for me, haha!" Harvey said with a smile on his face and a joking tone.

"I just want to avoid unnecessary trouble as much as possible. Okay, let's go, both of you." Akzhan skillfully manipulated the reins and drove the carriage steadily on the wide road.

Compared to the previous rugged and muddy road, the stone-paved road under our feet is obviously much easier to walk on.

Theresa originally thought that he would gallop all the way like a crazy cowboy, without caring about the feelings of the horse.

But her worries proved to be completely unnecessary. Akzhan's driving was skillful and steady, perhaps because of the alcohol in the back of the car.

What should I do next? Is it too early to go to bed now? I plan to wait until I get on the train so I can sleep through the night.

Theresa leaned against the window, her head tilted slightly. Through the window, she gazed back at the country. Only a few, faint, scattered lights lit the buildings.

If you are looking for a quiet and leisurely life in your later years, perhaps a country with a slow pace of life like this will make you feel like the right place to spend the rest of your life.

Above the carriage hung a swaying lamp, the light it emitted not seeming to come from an ordinary flame, but more like the strange glow emitted by the mysterious ball of light in her hand.

Seeing this, Harvey immediately stood up, carefully took down the lamp, and gently handed it to Theresa.

"There is neither a burning flame nor a surge of electricity in this lamp."

Harvey said softly, slowly opening his palm, and a dazzling ball of light emerged from his palm.

Theresa looked as if to say, "So you can do that, too!", with a hint of surprise and curiosity in her eyes.

"Hahaha, in Hiyori City, there are indeed quite a few people who know some of this, but the extent to which they can apply it depends on the individual. For example, I can only use the light balls to fill the space and serve as a light source."

Theresa tried to touch the ball of light in his hand, but there was only bright light and no real feeling, unlike the light ball she summoned, which had a warm temperature.

"Don't run around when you get to the station, especially at night. It's usually full of businessmen from various countries, and they all have surly personalities. It's really annoying."

"Some of them will deliberately pretend to fall in front of you while holding a package, and then insist that you hit them and ask you to pay compensation. And usually in this situation, there will be several hired people standing behind them. If you are not afraid of getting into trouble, you can call the arbitration bureau to deal with it. But if you do this, you may miss the last bus, which will disrupt all your plans." Akzan suddenly thought of something and said to Theresa who was sitting in the car.

Judging from this girl's personality, I'm afraid it would only take a few sweet words to trick her into losing everything.

Isn't this an obvious attempt to intimidate someone? After hearing what Akzhan said, Theresa glanced at Harvey, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

This glance startled Harvey. He quickly waved his hand and explained, "Ms. Theresa, please don't misunderstand me! I've always been someone who values ​​business ethics and principles! To avoid unnecessary trouble like this, I even spent a fortune hiring powerful adventurers as guards."

Theresa nodded slightly, expressing her understanding. In this era of imperfect regulation, bringing illegal businessmen to justice is indeed difficult.

As the carriage continued to move forward, a ray of light gradually appeared in front of them. Undoubtedly, that was the station they were looking forward to arriving at.

"Go ahead and move it. I'll keep an eye on it. Nothing will go wrong. I'll return the carriage when the time comes." Akzan leaned lazily on the back of the chair, crossed his legs, and glanced at the passers-by.

Theresa got off the train and helped Harvey carry the goods. It was just two cases of wine, so he had to come in person every month.

In front of them stood officials from the Arbitration Bureau, who were conducting a routine inspection. Due to Harvey's good reputation, the inspection was completed quickly, and the officials helped to put the wine box into the carriage.

The steam locomotive looked much as Theresa had imagined, lying quietly on the tracks. Its long chimney continuously billowed out billowing white smoke...

Puffing out... billowing white smoke? It was obvious they were about to depart, but it looked like Akcan hadn't even gotten on the bus yet.

"Oh my god? So fast! I didn't even have time to return the carriage!" After hearing the sound of the train whistle, Akzan didn't care about anything else, jumped up, and quickly passed through the fence.

"Brothers from the Arbitration Bureau! Please help me return the carriage! Thank you!" Akzan shouted while running back.

Theresa embarked on this journey accompanied by the whistle of the steam train.
