Currently, we're at the Dragon King Kingdom's most eastern point, the port city, East Port.
It's the same as West Port, a town filled with marine products and transported goods.
After we found an inn we held an operations meeting.
It’s the same as usual with all three of us surrounding a map facing each other.
"Now then, let's talk about things from now on."
The two were looking at the map with serious faces.
It's something we've done many number of times, so you'd think we would get bored of it, but for Eris who is bad with the difficult talks, this is the only time when she listens with a serious face.
"In order to get from here to Asura Kingdom there are three routes."[1]
Just like that I pointed my finger at the map we just bought and started explaining.
It's a simple map that only marks out roughly the locations of villages and the forests.
Creating and selling detailed maps is severely forbidden in this kingdom and against its laws.
It seems they're afraid of other kingdoms acquiring one.
Well, it's fine as long as we understand the general terrain.
"The first route is the general one used by merchants for trade purposes."
Then I followed along the map with my finger.
It's a roundabout route that follows a path around the Eastern side of the Dragon King Mountain Range.
"It's the safest route of them all. With our movement speed, it should take around 10 months to arrive."
It's the one that costs the most time, but since it's the road that has the most maintenance done to it, it's also the safest.
"Why is it bad if we don't take the roundabout way?"
Then Eris raised an obvious question.
No matter what the time is she will come out with obvious questions.
Since she's honest, they're easy to explain.
"The route that circles around West is covered in a forest."
I pointed my finger to the Western side of the Dragon King Mountain Range while answering that question.
To the West of the Dragon King Kingdom, there's a large dense forest area spread out.
Essentially, you cannot pass through it with a carriage.
However, if you have someone who knows the details about that path, you can cut your movement time by several months.
The prerequisites include horse riding skills as well.
Eris and I cannot ride a horse.
Ruijerd can probably do it.
However, no matter how small we are, it's impossible to fit three people on a single horse.
Since that's the case, we would have to pass this route on foot.
In the case of going on foot, we have no idea how many days it will take us to get there.
It seems practically everyone chooses the safe Eastern roundabout route.
It might not be all that big of a difference in time, or the Eastern route might even be faster.
If you're in a hurry, going around is the way to go.
That more or less summarizes the explanation.
"I see, then West is no good."
Eris seems to have accepted it.
"Then, the third route is..."
While saying that I pointed my finger to the final route.
Get on a boat and cross over into Begaritto Continent, we can search as we go and pass straight through into Asura.
I don't know how many days this would take.
"Although, this route is already rejected."
"Why?"
"Because it's dangerous."
Begaritto Continent is said to have a stronger flow of magic power than the Magic Continent.
If you look at it, the average monsters are equal in strength to those of Magic Continent, but in addition, there are a large number of labyrinths that exist underground and above ground strange weather phenomena often appear.
That climate can be explained in a single word.
Desert.
The continent is covered in sand.
And then, there are giant scorpions of the same size as the Great Land Turtles, and giant worms that eat those scorpions as their staple food are prevalent.
In the afternoon it's scorching heat, at night it's mid-winter.
There's almost no oasis, you can't take any breaks.
Also, if you head even further into the center of it, the sand disappears and for a while it turns into a snow-covered tundra.
From a desert it suddenly turns into a land covered in ice.
If you make it that far then monsters that you can eat almost entirely stop appearing.
Going to that sort of place to search and cut through... it's not realistic at all.
"Since that's the reason, we're going to take the route that goes around to the East."
"Rudeus is a coward, as usual."
"I am a person of many fears after all."
"I think it would be all right if it was us though?"
It seems like Eris wants to go to the Begaritto Continent.
Her eyes are sparkling.
However, the distance to go through the Begaritto Continent, it can't even be compared to the distance of going from Milis to the Central Continent.
"We would have to take a long boat trip, Eris are you alright with that?"
"Let's not go with Begaritto."
Since that's the case, we decided to go with passing the Eastern route.
