Chapter 155 - Chapter 155 Cart And Horse

As Thomas awoke he glanced to his sides and seen Ocis and Mira holding onto his arms. Thomas stared at the roof and mumbled "I can't move." Thomas sighed and said "I must've run out of mana recently again." Scarlett who was sitting quietly in the corner of the room glanced at him and asked "Did that book you got not help you?" Thomas laid there and said "The book wasn't very helpful, it basically told me that when my mana runs completely out my mana pool will grow and be able to absorb mana quicker each time." Scarlett walked towards Thomas and said "I suppose you'll be stuck there with those two today?" Thomas stared at Scarlett and asked "Would you mind carrying me to a nearby building?" Scarlett stared at Thomas and asked "What do you need?" Thomas stared at her and said "Not really need but it definitely wouldn't hurt to buy a cart and horse." Scarlett stared at Thomas and asked "How will you be able to summon your money." Thomas glanced at a pouch on a stand nearby and said "I figured this might happen so I used some of my mana to summon my money." Scarlett picked Thomas up and hoisted him up on her back after she grabbed the pouch as she said "Very well, I shall take you to the building." Thomas sighed and said "If only that book wasn't useless." Scarlett walked out of the inn and said "We're heading towards the stable correct?" Thomas glanced at her and said "Yeah, they should have carts and horses." Scarlett began to walk towards the stables as she ask "Why did Mira stay at the inn if she has her own house in this town?" Thomas glanced at Scarlett and said "Beats me, you'd have to ask her." As they entered the stables a man stared at Scarlett and Thomas confused as he asked "May I help you?" Thomas stared at the man and said "We're looking for a cart and horse." The man walked past them and said "The horses are outside and we have quite a few carts, if you'll just follow me." Scarlett began to follow the man as she asked "Do you have a specific cart in mind?" Thomas stared at Scarlett and said "If it can carry nine people that'd be great." Scarlett nodded and said "I see you want a cart so none of us have to walk." The man turned around and said "If you want a cart that can carry people we have one that should be able to fit at least 10." Thomas stared at the man and said "Alright show is that then." As the man shown them the cart Thomas stared at it and said "It has a roof, walls, doors, and windows." The man nodded and said "The interior has padded seats as well." Thomas stared at the man and asked "How much?" The man stared at the cart for a moment and said "I'll take a gold coin for it." Thomas glanced at Scarlett and said "Sounds fair to me." Scarlett reached into the pouch and grabbed a gold coin and handed it to the man as she said "We'll take it." The man put the coin in his pocket and said "Now then why don't we take a look at horses." Scarlett began to follow the man as she asked "Are your horses strong?" The man nodded and said "My horses should have no problems carrying the cart you just purchased." Thomas stared at the man and said "That's a relief, I don't have the slightest clue on picking a good animal." As the man began to show Thomas and Scarlett the horses he said "All the horses are for sell, feel free to chose one and I'll tell you the price." Thomas stared at the horses and seen a rather large horse standing beside some of the other horses. Thomas stared at the horse and asked "How much for the big one." The man walked towards the horse and put a hand on it as he said "For this guy, I'd say twenty silver coins." Thomas stared at the horse and said "I'll take that one." Scarlett reaches into the pouch and handed the silver to the man as she asked "Would you mind quickly showing us how to hitch the horse to the cart?" The man nodded and said "Wait here a moment while I get the cart." After the man shown them how to hitch the horse to the cart and how to ride the cart and have the horse pull it he stared at Thomas and Scarlett and said "May I ask a question." Thomas stared at him and said "Go for it." The man stared at Thomas and asked "Why has she been carrying you?" Thomas sighed and said "I overused my mana and can't move, she agreed to carry me over here today otherwise I would've been here alone." The man stared at Thomas and said "It must be tough to go around in public like that." Thomas stared at him and said "You have no idea." Scarlett set Thomas down in the front of the cart and said "Well I don't have to carry you back to the inn." Scarlett sat beside Thomas and said "We'll be leaving now." The man waved and said "Nice doing business with you." As Scarlett and Thomas rode the cart back to the inn Scarlett hit a bump and Thomas fell onto her shoulder. Thomas glanced at her and said "You should've just left me in the back of the cart." Scarlett smiled and said "You bought the cart so you should at least show it off when we get to the inn." Thomas stared straight ahead and asked "Can you at least position me so I'm not leaning on you." Scarlett shook her head and said "I have to pay attention to the horse." Thomas stared at her and mumbled "That has to be the biggest lie I've ever heard you tell." As they arrived at the inn Scarlett stood up and said "I'll go get the others." Thomas fell onto the seat and said "I'll just wait here then." Scarlett ran into the inn and walked out with the others as she said "We should get a move on to the next town." Thomas laid there and said "Can someone pick me up?" Ocis hopped into the back of the cart and said "It's a really nice cart." Ocis peeked through some curtains and seen Thomas laying on the seat in front of her. Ocis stared at Thomas and asked "Why are you just laying there?" Poppy stared at Thomas and asked "Did your mana get overused again?" Thomas sat there silently as Scarlett said "I had to carry him around town so he could purchase the cart." Ocis grabbed Thomas and pulled him into the back of the cart as she said "You can ride back here with me!" Scarlett got back onto the cart and said "I'll be driving the cart." Peri and Ceil stared at Scarlett and asked "Will you be okay driving?" Scarlett nodded and said "I can do this all day." Lily climbed into the cart and seen Thomas laying on Ocis's lap as she said "I guess everyone else can sit back here." Lily stared at Thomas and Ocis and asked "What are you two doing?" Thomas sighed and said "I still can't move so I'm not quite sure either." Mira peeked through the window and asked "Will we all be able to fit in here?" Thomas stared at her and said "The man who sold it to us said it can." Daisy sat in the front and said "I guess we should all get in and start moving." The others nodded and began to climb into the the cart one by one. Once everyone was either in or on the cart they all began to head towards the next town as the other who were in the back of the cart stared at Thomas and Ocis. Thomas glanced at them and said "Please stop staring, this is already awkward enough." Daisy peeked into the back of the cart and said "We'll let you know when we see the next town or are going to stop and rest for a while." Ocis glanced at Daisy and said "Alright!" Daisy stared at Thomas and asked "Is he okay with that?" Thomas stared at Daisy and said "Help." Daisy closed the curtain and stared at Scarlett as she asked "Do you have any idea how far the next town is?" Scarlett shook her head and said "We're just gonna keep going until we reach a town." Daisy stared straight ahead and said "So we're doing the same thing we did when we found this town." Mira poked her head through the curtain and said "If I recall we should be approaching a kingdom."
