Chapter 461 The Vehicle Killer Belongs to Yes (33)

Of course, the alchemy train not only carried passengers, but also carried a lot of goods. Now the carriages in the second half of the train were still loading and unloading a large number of materials, and all the passengers were waiting.

Ian used fairy perception to observe the crowd who were doing unloading work not far away.

They are working so hard that they even have a special alchemy equipment that can suck a relatively large box like a magnet under the control of one person, and then release the suction after moving it to flat ground.

Alchemy equipment has been widely used in folk production around the imperial capital.This is not yet common in Port Harrison.

Without transportation capacity, there would be no large amount of productivity... No matter what the Black King is said to be in later generations, the foundation he laid for the Setar Empire is so solid, and all successors need to bear this in mind.

After the loading and unloading is completed, the train starts gradually.

As the heart of the front-end alchemy furnace gradually hummed, a sound like a rainstorm blew out, and there were waves of wind and tide in the world.

Rumbling——The wheels are turning, the huge steel monster is moving forward, and a hazy shield flashes on the outside of the front of the alchemy train painted in silver and black, and it is speeding with the carriage behind.

Outside the car window, Butte Station is rapidly receding and shrinking, and the road closer to the train is becoming blurred in the high-speed movement. Only the gradually setting sun in the sky seems to remain stable, still staying in the original place .

But this is only temporary.

Soon, night fell, and many passengers chose to turn off the lights next to their seats at this moment, preparing to take a nap in the soothing violin music played by the train.

The alchemy train network was built in the middle of the Black King era. At that time, the first knight had wiped out almost all monster lairs in the central plain of the empire. The core hinterland of the empire was all owned by humans, and a large number of towns and cultivated land were built and developed. , and the alchemy train network is part of the ten-year construction plan.

After leaving the big station, it gradually began to approach the agricultural area.The central area of ​​the Setar Empire is an extremely vast area without mountains to the point of abnormality. Although there are still forests, rivers and hills, in the final analysis, flat terrain occupies the majority.

Steel behemoths are galloping, and the verdant farmland recedes back and forth on both sides of the track.

Even with the train, it was quite a long journey.

And Ian and Shuangdie are always watching.

Following the vibration of the track, they walked through the lake of the dark sea, and the huge fishing ground beside the city of Carmel was also eye-catching in the dark night.

As the forest flew by, they gazed at the Falling Star Hills, where the dwarven towns had always been lively, and the fires in the town were always burning late at night.

At the station where they stopped, they looked at the vast fruit forest, where the animal husbandry experiment field and new species planting area of ​​the Royal Ministry of Agriculture are located. The large white greenhouses even make people vaguely think that they are in the snow-capped Northland.

The restarted train leads the boy and the goblin to gradually approach the center of a prosperous Terra country.

They saw the ruins of an ancient city, which was a maze of the pre-epoch that was cracked, and it was also a relic city. Now it has become a tourist attraction for future generations to admire the glory of the past.

There are also tracks on the bridge spanning 500 meters from the Kuiran River. This was a city-state fortress a long time ago, a checkpoint guarding the river, but now it has become a commercial and workshop garden. The army that passed through this place a hundred years ago was even more unstoppable.

Riding on the train, Ian and the two goblins pass through a deep lake and rolling hills, across vast woodlands and farmlands, and time flows between sunshine and night.

They travel far away.

Such a rare leisure time, no one is chasing and killing, and there is no journey full of monsters like Nanling. To be honest, it is quite relaxing.

It was in such an environment that Shuangdie gradually accepted all kinds of knowledge and common sense taught to her by Ian and Hua An.

"So that's how it is...that's how it is, I have fully understood it."

The little goblin showed a dazed expression. Although she didn't know what she understood, but being able to speak such a paragraph fluently proved that Shuangdie had indeed learned well in the recent period, and she must have no problem communicating with people normally.

As for things like saying something weird by accident... For humans, it doesn't matter that fairies say weird things every day.

"It turns out that traveling in a car is like this. It's also a kind of beauty to enjoy the scenery slowly... Last time I was in the middle of the ride, I felt it was too slow, so I got off the car and walked by myself."

For example, when talking about Hua An’s thoughts, Miss Goblin nodded with emotion: "Ian, have you ever been on an alchemy train before? Why do I feel that you seem to be familiar with it and enjoy this feeling very much?"

"where."

Ian shook his head, and he said truthfully: "I have never been on the alchemy train, and this is a novel experience for me-in Nanling, I have never even been out of Port Harrison, and I am doing alchemy all day long. Alchemy, no time to enjoy the scenery."

"That's why I feel very happy now." He whispered, looking out the window at the slowly decelerating woods.

"That's quite hard work." Hua An seriously commented: "I remember that we goblins have a word to describe this kind of life... what is it called... social animal?"

"It sounds like you've been a very social animal during your years in Port Harrison!"

"Pfft." Ian couldn't hold back, and laughed - he would be inexplicably happy when he was with fairies: "How could there be such a word in Fairy Township? Shouldn't it belong to the human country?"

"Maybe it's human." And Hua An turned the umbrella, vaguely lost in memory: "Because we have all kinds of memories in the psionic network of elves, and we don't know which ones are our own and which ones are human... or Is it another creature?"

"Even occasionally turning up very old stuff."

Psionic network?

Hearing this, Ian's heart moved. He did know that there was an invisible network among the goblins, and that network was closely related to the various veins formed by natural psionic energy... But now is not the time to ask about this.

When we get to the imperial capital, let's ask about the psionic network in detail.

The journey up to here has been quite enjoyable.

Until the alchemy train stopped beside the Liubian Flower City and boarded a few ordinary-looking passengers.

At this time, it was raining lightly outside. This kind of rain was not the same as the rain in Nanling that Ian was used to, but the atmosphere did suddenly become wet and uncomfortable.

Ian turned his head slightly, and he noticed that a large group of new passengers was being boarded in the carriage behind him.

And among those passengers... there were several Ascendants.

Regarding this point, at the beginning, the young man didn't pay much attention to it. After all, the closer he was to the imperial capital, the more people ascended. This is normal.

It's like seeing a few Ph.D.s in physics in a small remote town, but you might meet dozens if you meet them next to the capital university town.

But here comes the problem... Even next to the imperial capital, there are obviously too many sublimators appearing.

The second time I stopped at the station, next to the Brody Agricultural Trade Area, two more sublimators boarded.This time it was in the front compartment, and the breath couldn't be said to be suspicious, it could only be said that it was not a normal person at all.

Now Ian became vigilant - he observed Shuangdie and Hua An carefully, and found that the aura of these two goblins had basically remained the same, and even faintly changed for the better.

"Yes, there is an actual second-level elf here, where is the danger for them?"

Shaking his head slightly, Ian raised his vigilance and continued to pay attention to these people.

——After all, it’s just that there are a little more sublimators, so it’s not surprising, is it?
But what he really couldn't ignore was that when he pulled into the station for the third time, some passengers got off the bus, and among the new passengers who came up, there were several sublimators mixed in.

There were even three of them who came to the carriage they were in.

One was wearing the uniform of the guard, probably a knight preparing to return to the imperial capital for his duty, while the other two were wearing robes and hoods.

They all had legal documents, and after getting on the bus, they closed their eyes and meditated in their seats, appearing very calm.

But it's not that simple.

"what happened?"

Ian drank the free tea provided by the train, watched the actions of this group of people, and felt doubts frequently in his heart.

Because he could see that most of the sublimated people obviously belonged to the same organization, at least they had known each other for a while...their actions had an obvious commonality.

Not only that, more than half of the people on this train heading for the imperial capital belonged to different organizations.

Among them are the scholar group, the sect group, the nobleman and his followers.All in all, it's a group.

Solo travelers like myself are in the minority.

"interesting."

After thinking for a while, Ian frowned: "It seems that something big is about to happen soon."

as predicted.

Just half an hour later, the alchemy train started again some time after departure.

There was a dull explosion from the front of the car.

　Ask for a monthly ticket!
