Sword God in a World of Magic

Alex left through the southern entrance and saw the southern area behind the Central Wild.

It didn't look much different from the other parts of this Zone, except for maybe it being a bit flatter. There were still some hills here and there, but it wasn't as exaggerated as the northern part of the town.

As Alex went past the southern entrance, he put the wheels of the sled wagon away again and transformed it back into a sled.

Then, Alex took a deep breath and continued pulling.

It was currently afternoon, and Alex still had enough daylight to travel.

Not much of note happened as Alex continued traveling to the southeast. It was just incredibly boring and tiresome.

Alex saw some big birds flying over the street occasionally, and Alex always stopped to look at them. He didn't want to be caught by surprise by some powerful bird swooping down from the sky.

These birds looked rather powerful, and Alex didn't trust that they didn't eat humans.

Alex even saw some of the bigger birds flying circles above him, but they all left after circling him for two times or so. He wasn't sure if they were evaluating his power or if they were just curious.

After a couple of hours, dusk arrived. Alex had probably traveled for around 25 to 30 kilometers in these couple of hours, which was way too slow for his liking. Sadly, the sled wagon was simply too heavy.

'Being a trader sucks,' Alex thought. 'The merchants that passed me in the last couple of hours all used horses and bulls to pull their cargo. Wonder how expensive these animals are in this world. I didn't see many of them in the town.'

Several traders had passed Alex during the last couple of hours. They were all driving way faster than him, and they all passed Alex easily. Most of them were driving carriages with trailers behind them, but that wasn't all.

The merchants also had bodyguards running alongside their small caravan. These bodyguards all threw Alex some confused looks, which was understandable. After all, Alex was pulling the sled wagon himself, and he was traveling alone.
