Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang left the Mana Austerum and blankly walked along the street.

Shang constantly felt like he forgot his sled-wagon, but he always got reminded that he didn't own the sled-wagon anymore.

It was so weird.

He had traveled with that thing for nearly a week, and he had traveled across a large distance.

From the northwestern third of the Ice Wyvern Zone, Shang had pulled the sled-wagon all the way to the southeastern end of the Zone.

But now, he didn't need it anymore.

And in exchange?

29 pieces of gold!

Getting that sled-wagon to here had been a major pain in the ass, but it had been worth it!

29 gold!

Shang could probably buy some incredible things for such an amount of money!

And now, Shang didn't even need to pull the heavy sled-wagon along anymore!

He could finally travel without any restrictions!

Shang put the bag of gold beneath his coat and fastened it securely. Then, he walked to the southeastern gate and asked the guard for directions to Warrior's Paradise.

"We are currently at the northwestern edge of the Storm Eagle Zone," one of the guards told Shang as he gestured towards the southeast. "Follow this road until you reach a vast landscape filled with farms. That's when you've reached the safest part in the Storm Eagle Zone, the Farm Line."

"Farm Line?" Shang asked.

"Yes. The Farm Line is, as the name suggests, a huge line of farms. You could also call it a big territory for agriculture. That's where all the food and basic resources for Warrior's Paradise are produced. Warrior's Paradise is gigantic, and it burns through resources like crazy, which is why it needs a huge area dedicated to nothing but farming."

"As long as you keep following the path, you will reach the Farm Line. When you get there, you only need to continue walking. The direction you walk towards isn't actually important."

This confused Shang. "How is it not important?" he asked.

"Because a ridiculous number of guards and soldiers are constantly patrolling the Farm Line. The Farm Line is the lifeline of Warrior's Paradise, and the city can't afford to let anything interfere with the farmers. Because of that, bandits and wild beast essentially don't exist there."

"As soon as you walk into the Farm Line, you are sure to meet some guards very quickly, who will then instruct you on how to proceed. If you have any valuables, you must have some sort of receipt for them. Vast quantities of wealth are very suspicious."

This made Shang frown, and he took out his bag of gold.

When the guard saw the bag, he whistled. "That's quite some money you got there, boy," he said.
