CH426 Horse Merchant Expedition Caravan
***
It had been a week since Alex and his party left the Luxen Duchy. They were currently travelling through a neighbouring county under the false identity of a travelling horse merchant caravan.
According to Kron Belloc, though extremely rare, this was actually a legitimate profession on Verdantis.
Of course, such traders required proper identification. Fortunately, with Kron's familiarity with local systems—and the universal language of coin—they were able to acquire the necessary documents without much difficulty.
At the end of the day, regardless of plane or territory, men still lived for wealth.
And where wealth existed, so did bribery.
Thanks to the identification papers, the party was able to move through the county without attracting much attention—at least, not the wrong kind.
To properly maintain their cover, the group sold off half of their horse inventory along the way, keeping only the best ones for themselves.
