Zhao Nan looking for a caravan wasn't because he was afraid of being alone, but because traveling with one was often very convenient and ensured he wouldn't get lost.

As a student of the Ernst Institute, and a relatively well-known one at that, he was bound to come into contact with many people looking to invest in him.

For many, an investment didn't necessarily require an immediate return; as long as there was a shred of goodwill, it might prove helpful to them in the future.

Therefore, students of the Ernst Institute often dealt with the nobles of the Kingdom of Fenlai.

Before he possessed the system, Zhao Nan naturally would have interacted with those nobles as well.

Thus, with such connections already in place, finding a caravan heading to the Hanmu Kingdom was an easy task.

Just after Zhao Nan returned to the imperial capital of the Kingdom of Fenlai and mentioned this to a noble steward he knew, the steward found him on the third day to tell him that a caravan had been arranged and would be departing for the Hanmu Kingdom to deliver goods in five days.

Five days later!

Zhao Nan met the caravan he would be traveling with to the Hanmu Kingdom.

The leader of the caravan was a Rank 6 warrior named Roslet, who had no surname.

In the Coiling Dragon World, the worldview leaned heavily toward the Western style of his past life; therefore, commoners often lacked surnames, only acquiring them once they became nobles.

For instance, the Baruch family of Linley was named after the first Dragonblood Warrior, Baruch, who founded the Baruch family.

Zhao Nan also did not have a surname.

Once he married and had children in the future, the family he founded would take Zhao Nan as its surname, becoming the Zhao Nan family.

Roslet was the same; he was not of noble birth and thus had no surname.

In reality, this made sense, as a noble with their own fief would never be reduced to working as a caravan leader.

Take Hogg, for example; although the Baruch family had declined, he still possessed Wushan Town as his territory.

If Hogg had wanted to live more comfortably, he could have simply increased taxes, and he wouldn't have needed to sell off his family's collection to live well.

It was just that Hogg was kind-hearted and chose not to levy excessive taxes.

Of course, this also had to do with the fact that Roslet was only at the Rank 6 level.

One must know that Rank 6 and Rank 7 were two different realms; only those at Rank 7 or above could be called experts, while those below Rank 7 could not.

If Roslet reached Rank 7, it was even possible for the kingdom to grant him a title.

At the same time, Rank 7 experts were already the backbone of the Yulan Continent.

After Zhao Nan and Roslet were introduced, the caravan began its journey.

Roslet held Zhao Nan in high regard; after all, an eighteen-year-old Rank 5 mage was enough to command the attention of anyone.

After all, he already possessed the potential to reach the Saint-level.

As for becoming a god, no one believed that was a possibility for Zhao Nan, as the Yulan Continent had a long history and had only ever produced three god-level experts.

Of course, this was merely what many people assumed for themselves.

Because of Zhao Nan's strength and Roslet's desire to be on good terms with him, Zhao Nan was given one of the best carriages in the caravan.

Consequently, while traveling on the road, Zhao Nan did not feel the slightest bit of bumping.

Because of this, Zhao Nan was able to cultivate with great peace of mind.

At the same time, he made up his mind that throughout this journey, he would ensure the safety of the caravan.
