When Julius woke up, he heard voices outside the carriage.
It was not the conversation of Lurunaka or Romuona, but a loud, indistinct voice, indistinct and indistinct, but recognizable to his ears the voice of a human being.
It was the sound of many people talking, and there were other voices mixed in as well.
He didn't know how long he had slept. When he returned to the carriage and laid down, the sky had just begun to brighten. It was almost dawn.
At that time, it was very quiet outside, so Julius quickly fell asleep and didn't wake up until now.
When he got out of the carriage, he saw Romuona and Lulunaka sitting together, driving the donkeys forward.
He also saw people walking by and leaving in different directions.
"You woke up at the right time."
Lulunaka said to Julius without looking back. "It's already afternoon, and we've reached Nicaea."
"We've arrived?"
Julius rubbed his eyes, and the mucus fell from his fingers. "I thought it would take a few more days."
Since leaving Busa, Lurunaka hasn't stopped much. She's been on the road for almost 24 hours every day. It's completely different from the slow pace she took when she first arrived on this continent.
Because of this, Julius and Romuona were reduced to driving the carriage. Although Julius thought that he had enough time to let Romuona not be as tired as he was, the human body had its limits. In the end, Romuona still shared a lot of his time.
Because Romuona seemed to be happy to share the burden, Julius did not say anything.
When it came to work, the two donkeys pulling the Ingenious were probably the ones who had the hardest time.
The two beasts had been running for a long time, but they didn't seem to have any signs of falling down. They couldn't help but wonder if Lurunaka had fed them something strange.
Although the journey was a little tiring, it was not without rewards.
He saw many amazing sceneries, as well as countless horses running together, which left a deep impression on him.
The group in front of the Ingenious had passed through the city gate, and it was finally the three of them's turn.
Although Ann was not with them this time, before they bid farewell, Ann gave Lulunaka a document, saying that it would be useful when they entered the city. This young lady of unknown origin was very generous and kind.
The Ingenious successfully passed through the city wall and entered Nicaea.
From Busa to Nicaea, Lulunaka and the others spent almost half a month.
The journey between the two cities was not short, but because Lulunaka did not stop much, they soon arrived in Nicaea.
"Time to find a place to rest."
After passing through the city gate, Lulunaka said to the two of them, "When the time comes, you should rest first. The accumulated fatigue from these days needs to be released on a comfortable bed."
Speaking of this, Lurunaka yawned. "Although that's what I said, I can't help it anymore … Next, you can see where you can find a place to stay."
After Lurunaka finished talking to herself, she climbed back into the carriage, lay down, and fell asleep.
Without waiting for Julius and Romuona to say anything, she fell asleep.
As a result, Julius, who had just come out of the carriage, could only look up and see Lulunaka's two small feet, swaying with the carriage.
"She slept for most of the day, and only came down when you fell asleep.
Now she's sleeping again. "
Romuona said to Julius, who sat back down next to her. "Recently, she's been sleeping a lot more than the time she's been moving."
"She's been very strange. I wouldn't be surprised if someone slept for half a month." Julius said.
"In that case, she's not human."
Julius thought for a moment before saying, "If she's not human, it's not strange … Or rather, if she's really human, I'd be surprised."
Julius's words, rather than saying that he did not care what Lulunaka was, perhaps it should be said that he actually understood that Lulunaka could be anything, but definitely not an ordinary human.
Although the stereotype of Lulunaka as a witch was gone, Julius still did not treat Lulunaka as a normal person in his heart.
"Yes, if she's really an ordinary person, it'd be surprising."
Romuona also agreed with Julius's words, but she had some different opinions. "But as long as it's a living thing, then it shouldn't have such a strange schedule.
She seems to be able to change her schedule in a random place. "
Julius did not expect Romuona to say such a thing, and then he remembered what Romuona had said to him.
When they were in the King Castle, she slept with Lulunaka, and she said that when Lulunaka slept, she was as quiet as a dead person.
"That's because she's very strange, right?" Julius could only give such an answer in the end.
Romuona just chuckled a few times and did not continue on this topic. "Maybe that's the case."
Although the two no longer discussed this matter, they hid it in each other's hearts.
Julius woke up, and the job of driving the carriage was handed over to him, and then Romuona was responsible for looking for a way to go forward.
After visiting Busa, Nicaea did not give the two too much emotion. The feeling that the two places gave them was exactly the same, perhaps the only difference was the size of the two places. It could be seen from the road that Nicaea was probably smaller than Busa.
But this did not mean that Nicaea did not have its own characteristics, it had something that Busa did not have.
After going into the city for a while, Julius and Romuona finally saw the rumored lake.
Isnik Lake was indeed an eye-opener for Julius and Romuona.
"This is the lake that the bards talked about …" Julius was a little stunned, because he had never seen such a big lake. Looking around, he could not see the opposite side of the lake, only the shore of the lake extended out until it could not be seen.
The waves on the lake were as dazzling as the sun.
"It's indeed a beautiful scenery that can't be seen anywhere else."
Romuona was also attracted by the lake, "Water is the source of life, choosing to live in a place with water, this is the meaning of life … Is this the reason why Nicaea was established?"
While the two were fascinated by the big lake, Lulunaka was also sitting in the carriage, looking at all of this.
"Isn't the lake a little smaller?" She looked at it for a long time and only said this sentence.
