Herag's driver was temporarily hired from the caravan. He was a slave named Ed, a man around thirty years old, relatively thin but experienced in driving.
Herag was quite satisfied with his driving skills; the journey was smooth.
Ed was a rather silent person, always driving the carriage in silence. If Herag didn't call him, he wouldn't make a sound.
There was a brand mark on his face, a symbol of slavery.
Herag paid the caravan ten silver coins to rent Ed to drive for him for three months.
Of course, not a single copper coin of these ten silver coins would end up in Ed's pocket.
Slaves like them were merely objects, and objects wouldn't have possessions of their own.
As night gradually fell, the caravan also stopped moving forward.
One by one, the carriages began adjusting their positions, forming a defensive formation, including Herag's carriage.
