"They left?" Jake froze for a moment.
"Yes, Baron. They are on the western road, so they went left of here. Since they are a large crowd, surely, they couldn't have gotten far." The leader tried to be helpful, but the damage was done.
Jake missed the caravan. He had to catch up as fast as he could.
He put his sword in his inventory and dashed forward. He was already a little exhausted but he ran through the pain of his lungs screaming.
He dashed outside the city gates and looked to the left.
There was a long dirt road there than went up and then down. From where he was, in the distance, he could see a long line of men and horses moving slowly to the west.
That was the caravan that he probably had to catch.
"You have got to be kidding me. This is definitely a catch of the quest. The caravan is programmed to move right after I accept the quest so that I will miss it with certainty." Jake thought to himself.
