The guards were truly amazed by what William could do. They had to ask.
"How are you so strong?" one of them asked.
"I'm not as strong as you think," William replied with a laugh. "Not everything is about brute strength, right?"
"You're right," they agreed.
Of course, William was being humble. He didn't want to reveal his real power to them. It was better to stay discreet and travel to the city without any trouble.
Anyway, William followed the road and reached the foot of the mountain where Rebo's village was. It was way up at the top. The path up there wasn't the easiest.
Still, nothing was impossible for William. Pulling the carriage up the mountain was a bit heavier, but he still managed it with relative ease.
As soon as they returned to the village, Undir was the first to show up. He was a bit worried about his son, so when he saw someone approaching the village, he immediately knew it was William and Rebo.
"What happened?" Undir asked. "Whose carriage is that?"
