At the border between Cadro Province and Sailop Province, on the Kurisk-Cadro-Qixing Highway, Kavir looked at the words on the boundary marker and could not help bursting into laughter.
After leaving Windsor Castle and traveling through West River Province, Monny Province, Duke Ister's Territory, Lensa Province, and Sailop Province, he had finally reached his destination after a journey of nearly five thousand kilometers.
When he set out, his father had given him only three thousand gold coins for travel expenses and required him to travel to Qixing Territory by land.
Furthermore, throughout the journey, he was not allowed to accept gifts from other nobles, meaning he could not owe anyone favors.
While he was still within his own territory, he had experienced what comfortable travel was like. But once he left Eagle Territory, every time he opened and closed his eyes, some of the gold coins in his hands were gone.
Including himself, the 213 people needed eight hundred jin of food every day. Grain prices varied from place to place along the way; some sold it for three copper coins per jin, while others charged thirty copper coins per jin.
It could be said that one could tell whether the local nobles treated people like human beings simply by looking at grain prices.
