After breakfast, I set off from the inn.
Next, I went to the waiting station and checked out the departure time and when to make payment.
It appears that the stagecoach service cost 1 gold coin and the trip to the city near the borders would take at most 4 days.
There is still some time before departure, so in the meantime, I went to prepare food supplies for the 4 days and also some weapons in case something happens.
Closing the borders? This country is really terrible.
It's good that I managed to quickly assess the situation and make my move.
En route to Kiers, goblins and demon wolves appeared (I mean after all this is a sword and magic fantasy world, and I still hate demons) but were safely suppressed by the adventurers acting as guards, so the stagecoach proceeded smoothly.

After arriving at Kiers, the merchant told me the location of the waiting station for a stagecoach heading to the neighbouring country.
[You're kidding...]
At the waiting station, a sign that said [Operation of the stagecoach has been suspended] was hanged.
the Marlbert country.]
[Right right, it is only a matter of time before war starts.]
Drinking alcohol resulted in the talkativeness of these adventurers.
The demon race's country lies at the north of this country, while Marlbert lies at the west.
If I had to pick where to go, it would be the south-east, where the Veenen country lies at.
[We plan to goodbye to this country real soon.]
[Well, hunting demons fits our personality better than fighting wars. It'll be good if you could quickly get out of this country too.]
Getting out of this country might be difficult. If demons appear, while I might be a tad stronger than the average person; there is still nothing much I can do to fend them off.
This is quite troubling, but I thought of meeting the adventurers.
I could request help from the adventurer's guild and it might work out fine.
It might cost some money, but I can't afford to be stingy in this situation.
Before the borders are completely closed, the first priority should be getting out of this country.
I had decided to hire guards from the adventurer's guild to bring me safely to the neighbouring country.
