My Favorite Game Followed Me!

Everyone was surprised at the Undead Coalition army that was in the last village since that village was already very near the city of Tiande. It solidified the fact that Tiande was on the verge of war and that they should bypass the holy city since the chance that they would be conscripted in the war would be very high since they were refugees from a conquered nation.

According to Lucas Tiande City should be around six days from where they were currently if they were traveling normally but since they were running non-stop, they would be able to bypass the city and arrive at a village past the city at around four or five days travel at their speed.

Anton needed to make sure that he was switching the Prayer, Meditation, and Vigor Auras every hour from the horses to the people and vice versa to make sure that nothing untoward would happen to either group.

Night arrived and Anton was surprised that Anders slowed down since he thought they would keep on traveling without stopping to outrun the undead army.

“Father, why are you stopping?”

“There is something wrong with the wheels.”

Anton then thought of the fact that the people and animals would always be at their peak even with the constant running due to his auras but the carriage and items they were using would be stretched thin by the abuse but since he had Charsi, it was actually a simple problem for them.

“Let’s feed the horses and ourselves and you fix everything that would need fixing,” Anders told him.

Anna, Nemina, and Lunelle stepped out from the carriage and Lucas and Devon joined them. After a word from Anders, Lucas and Devon handled the horses and Anders told the women to prepare dinner.

Anton gave them the barrels that contained their food and he went to the horses to give them their grains and mana water. Lucas and Devon controlled the horses so they would not harm themselves while eating and drinking but Anton was surprised at the amount of food and water the animals consumed which was logical due to the amount of running they performed.

Devon kept commenting that he was amazed at Anton’s magic since the horses, instead of dying of exhaustion, looked even more healthy and radiant.

After everyone was fed Anton asked them to take the things from the carriage so he could use his magic to repair it. It took a mighty effort on his part but Anton managed to put the entire carriage on his inventory and had the blacksmith in the Rogue Encampment fix it.

The carriage which was beginning to look battered due to their constant travel appeared and it was fully repaired and even looked brand new. They continued their travel and Anton summoned his Fire Ball light to light up the road.

The constant travel was beginning to wear on them. Even if they were all fine physically, mental exhaustion was beginning to set in.

When morning arrived, Anders stopped the carriage again so they could eat but Anton felt like he was going crazy. The only thing that they kept doing was travel, eat, and poop then travel, eat, and poop again. Anton was sure that everybody was feeling the same thing and the only reason nobody was complaining was because of the fear that the undead would suddenly arrive behind them.

Anton would almost prefer to just stop and confront the undead but it was just a passing illogical whimsy brought on by mental exhaustion.

“We traveled a fair distance so at lunch we will stop to sleep for several hours and then bathe, and then we will continue traveling,” Anders announced during breakfast which cheered everyone.

Since they were planning to stop at lunch, Anders kept the horses at top speed and the distance they traveled was truly amazing.

When afternoon arrived, Anders stopped the carriage beside the road. Anton set up their makeshift toilet and then prepared the horses’ food and mana water. They made sure that the horses were fed, watered, and comfortable and allowed them to rest. Even though physically the horses were fine, they all slept immediately and he wondered if the horses also suffered from mental exhaustion.

“Father, we are going through our food extremely fast so you will need to purchase a lot when we reach somewhere where you can do so.”

“I know, you don’t need to worry. If worse comes to worse we could cook the meat from the animals that we hunted and we could hunt some more.”

“We’re still far from that but it would be comforting if we would have a lot more.”

After eating lunch, everyone took a bath one by one and then slept. After around three hours, Anton woke up fully rested and was surprised that he only needed that long to feel like he slept for twenty-four hours.

Before they left, Anton made sure that all their used clothing was fully repaired and clean and they began their exhausting journey again.

When night arrived, they didn’t stop running and continued on. Anton made sure that the road was bright with a couple of Fire Balls lighting the way and Anders made sure that everyone was at their peak by stopping every five hours for them to eat.

When morning arrived, Anton saw the silhouette of Tiande City in the distance and was surprised at its size. It was surprisingly huge and he could see tall buildings even though they were still far away.

“That’s the basilica of the pope of Tiande. It’s so huge that we can see it this far.” Anders said when he saw his son looking at the city in the distance.

Anders veered off to the left so they could bypass the city but stopped after a while so they could eat.

When night arrived, they stopped at a village past the holy city of Tiande and they knew that they had earned a breather.

“We will stop here for the whole night and continue traveling to avoid problems that would come from the city,” Anders told everyone.

The horses were taken care of by the inn’s attendant but Anton made sure that the horses were supplied with mana water. He also told the stable hands to feed the horses as much as they could and to not be surprised by the amount since the horses were a special breed. The stable hands believed him since the horses did look very healthy as if they were nobles' pets instead of regular horses.

The innkeeper was surprised at the amount of food they ordered but complied with their request. Everyone ate a lot and Anton asked the innkeeper where the bath was. He was led by someone to their rooms and then to their baths while Anton’s father and Nemina handled the purchase of food and other necessities.

After taking a bath, Anton slept immediately and he was sure Anna and Lunelle did the same thing.

Anton woke up and when he checked the time it was already five in the morning. He was surprised since he was expecting to sleep a lot more due to their mental exhaustion but he felt like he already slept for twenty-four hours again just like what happened when they rested and more than likely it was because of the Vigor Aura.
