Previously, on an old truck, I traveled from village $A$ through $B$ to village $C$. After five minutes, I asked the driver how far we were from $A$. "Half as far as from $B," was the answer. Expressing my concerns about the slow speed of the truck, the driver assured me that while the truck cannot go faster, it maintains its current speed throughout the entire journey.

$13$ km after $B$, I inquired again how far we were from $C$. I received exactly the same response as my initial inquiry. A quarter of an hour later, we arrived at our destination. How many kilometers is the journey from $A$ to $C$?

Present the answer in LaTex format: \boxed{Your answer}
