Three days later, Mark and his companions left Helios City and journeyed to the western neighbor, the Kun Empire.
As the empire's capital was far away from the shore, Mark chose the land route, traveling by the traditional carriages instead of LMV.
Those carriages and their respective coachmen were provided by the palace. Obviously, they weren't your typical horse carriages either. Both of the carriages were pulled by bicorns, which are 4-circle Spirit Beasts of the dark attribute. These dark horses with two horns could run faster than the maximum speed attained by LMVs.
Adding on top of that, the presence of the royal family's crest helped Mark to cross the border without facing any questions from the guards posted at checkpoints or worrying about the directions.
As a result, Mark not only got qualitative time alone with his fiancée and saved the effort of driving but he was also able to cross the border before sunset.
