At nine o 'clock the next morning, Jothean drove his Magic Sedan to the temporary base the New Flyer's promotion department had set up near the east gate of Flantis City and met Taylor as promised.
When he got out of the car, he saw a middle aged man who looked to be around forty years old standing beside Taylor. He was wearing a black magic robe, with dark skin and a bit of a daze around him.
"Let me introduce you, Magician Sodak. These two are the colleagues I mentioned to you yesterday.
This is Jothean and this is Winnie.
This is … … "Taylor's doubtful eyes fell onto Hawat.
"This is my nephew," Winnie explained.
Winnie explained, "Come, Hawat, call aunt Taylor."
"Hello, Auntie Taylor." Hawat immediately greeted her obediently.
"Call me big sister, I'm not that old."
Taylor revealed a smile and reached out to pinch Hawat's face before turning to Jothean, "Jothean, this is the magician Sodak I told you about yesterday, he wants to hitch a ride with you to the company."
Jothean reached his hand out to Sodak with a faint smile, "Hello, Magician Sodak.
I heard from Taylor that you want to join our New Flyer, so I'm here to welcome you on behalf of the company. "
Sodak was a traditional magician who wasn't good at communicating, so he just reached out his hand to shake Jothean's hand before taking it back. He forced out a smile and said with a nod, "I don't know if I can catch the eye of your company."
Jothean looked at Sodak's chest and found that there was a Third Grade Magician badge on his chest, so he couldn't help knitting his brows.
Based on his appearance, Sodak was at least forty years old. Some people would even believe that he was fifty years old.
But he was only a trivial Third Grade Magician at his age, which was enough to prove that his talent for magic wasn't outstanding at all.
Normally speaking, he wasn't qualified to enter the Magic Research Institute of New Flying Chamber of Commerce with his level.
But if he was just a normal Magic Array technician, it shouldn't be a problem.
But everyone knew that entering the Magic Research Institute of New Flying Chamber of Commerce was much better than being a normal technician. So even if Jothean didn't like Sodak's prospects, he wouldn't say that it was impossible for him to join the company's Academy of Magic.
So he just said with a smile, "Relax, our company welcomes all magicians who are interested in joining the magic machine industry. I think that Magician Sodak will be able to find a place in the company's's way's way."
Taylor on the side's side was a's way,'s way. He said to Winnie, "Since you're's a's's way, I'll treat you to lunch before leaving....'s a's's's's's's a's's's''s's's's's''s's's's's's is it?"
Winnie shook her head. "I'm afraid that won't do.
It would take more than ten hours to get back to the main base of the Chamber of Commerce.
.'s' ''s''s's's'Clock '' '''s''s's.'s,........ '' '' '' ''s's's
"Why are you in such a rush?
You can rest in Anvilmar City for a night before leaving, it'll save you from being too tired on the way.
Then again, I remember that Winn didn't have a driver's license yet, right?
Jothean can only drive alone on this trip and he can rest for a night to avoid being too tired. "Taylor said in a doubtful voice.
"It's fine, I'm used to it."
Jothean shook his head, "I've been driving around like this for the past two years, it's normal to drive for over ten hours at a time, it's nothing."
Taylor looked at him and couldn't help shaking his head, "In order to promote infrastructure, you really have been running all over the place, it's been quite hard on you.
But there are also benefits.
Look, if it wasn't for your work, how could the company give you the newest high class Magic Sedan?
This car costs two thousand and three hundred gold coins, if you bought it yourself, it would take you several years to afford it. "
"Several years?
I wouldn't be able to afford it even after several years. "Jothean shook his head with a smile.
"Alright, let's not talk about this, Taylor and I are in a rush to set off.
Magician Sodak, have you prepared all your luggage? "
Sodak raised the bag in his hand, "It's just these things, I prepared them yesterday."
"Alright, put them in the trunk and then we'll get in the car."
Jothean helped Sodak put his simple luggage in the trunk of the Magic Car before letting him sit in the front seat. Then he waved goodbye to Taylor with Winn.
After the Magic Sedan started, it didn't take long for them to leave Flantis City, quickly heading southwest.
It seemed like it was Sodak's first time riding in a Magic Sedan, so when the car started, he sat in his seat with a nervous look, not daring to move at all.
When the Magic Sedan left Flantis City, he finally relaxed a bit. He curiously looked at the decorations of the Magic Sedan, asking Jothean a few questions from time to time.
Jothean had been driving this Magic Sedan for two years, so his driving skills had already reached perfection. The road after leaving Flantis City wasn't as dense as the roads in the Lampari Kingdom and the Principality of Constantine, so it was very smooth. He kept speeding up, almost driving the Magic Sedan as fast as it could go.
Sodak saw the scenery on both sides of the road quickly passing by and he became a bit nervous.
Rather although it was Hawat's first time riding in a Magic Sedan, he became more and more excited as the speed kept increasing. He looked at the scenery outside the window with wide eyes and kept shouting.
In just around an hour, the Magic Sedan was already a hundred kilometers away from Flantis City.
When the Magic Sedan entered a forest, Zodak's face in the passenger seat suddenly became very pale and he covered his mouth with his hand.
Jothean drove while paying attention to his situation. Now that he saw his appearance, he immediately understood.
This magician Sodak really was riding in a Magic Sedan for the first time and he found that ….. he was carsick … …
Jothean slowly slowed the Magic Sedan and stopped by the side of the road.
Sodak didn't say another word as he opened the door and charged into the forest. He held a tree trunk with one hand and lowered his head to vomit.
Hawat looked at Sodak in the distance in surprise before asking Winnie, "Aunt, what's wrong with him?"
"It's nothing, he's just carsick and wants to vomit."
"Then why don't I get carsick?"
"Because everyone is different. Some people get carsick and some people don't.
Moreover, you're a child, so your body is better. "Winnie explained.
Hawat gave an oh sound before looking a bit proud. He even raised his little arm in front of Winnie with a proud look.
Jothean saw that Sodak wouldn't be back for a while, so he opened the door and got out. When he came to the side of the road, he took out a cigarette from his chest and lit it.
After a while, seeing that Sodak had basically stopped vomiting, he took out a bottle of warm water and a pill that he had prepared beforehand from the car and walked over.
"Here, magician Sodak, this is a pill that can alleviate carsick. First rinse your mouth and then take the pill. You'll feel much better."
Sodak turned his head and looked at the water and pill in Jothean's hand with a weak look. He didn't even have the strength to show a doubtful look as he took the water and rinsed his mouth before swallowing the pill and letting out a long sigh.
"We …" Joshian was just about to say something when he suddenly heard a rumbling sound from Sodak's stomach. He was stunned.
Sodak revealed an awkward smile to Jothean before pointing into the forest.
Jothean could only barely hold back his smile as he gave a nod to Sodak.
"Go, we'll wait for you."
Sodak immediately ran into the forest like he was running for his life.
After a while, he had already disappeared into the dense forest and there was no trace of him.
Joshion looked at the direction where Link had disappeared with a strange expression. He then took out a similar pill from his pocket and looked around. He could not help but mumble, "Strange, does the motion sickness medicine that the elves made have a side effect of diarrhea after taking it?
I have to tell the Nightsong tribe about this when I get back. "
In order to avoid being embarrassed, Sodak ran far away, so Jothean couldn't hear anything.
Of course, he wasn't interested in hearing other people having diarrhea. He turned to the side of the Magic Sedan and took out some food from the trunk, giving one each to Winnie and Hawat.
"It seems like we still need to wait a bit, so we might as well take care of lunch now."
Winnie doubtfully took it and asked, "Didn't we say that we would have lunch in Filios City at noon?"
Jothean gave a shrug, "Something happened to our guest. I think that not to mention lunch, he won't be able to eat anything today."
"What's wrong with him?" Winnie knit her brows as she looked into the forest, but she couldn't see Sodak at all.
When she wanted to ask, there was a rustling sound that came from the other side of the forest. After a while, around twenty people holding various weapons came out of the forest, instantly surrounding the Magic Sedan.
The leading large man looked at the Magic Sedan and Jothean standing beside it before looking at Hawat and Winnie in the car. He gave a fierce laugh and raised the giant blade in his hand as he loudly said, "Hei, you two, be obedient if you don't want to die!"
Jothean and Winnie looked at each other in surprise.
This ….. Had they met bandits?
