Infrastructure starts from the game
Chapter 52 Passers-by
"That's all for today's lesson."
"Thank you, Mr. Jerry."
In the haze, the soft female voice said so, and the numbers on the blackboard gradually became blurred.
Shirley woke up.
Xueli first heard the unique noise on the train, and then felt the rhythmic vibration of the bed under her body, which almost made Xueli fall asleep again, but she struggled to open her eyes, staring at the scenery flying past outside the window and regurgitating her dream for a while Then he took out the final exam paper from his suitcase, and corrected the math problems that he didn't understand and made mistakes before.
Mrs. Rachel walked into Shirley's carriage just in time to see this scene, and her heart ached immediately.
"Little baby, don't make questions! Since we are traveling on vacation, we should forget about troubles." She said.
Xueli said strangely: "You didn't say that before."
You know, just half a month ago, her mother wanted to enroll her in three more cram schools, and would just press her against the desk as long as she was awake, but now she actually persuaded her to rest.
"Were you studying before?" You can tell at a glance whether you are really studying at the desk.
On the contrary, Mrs. Rachel felt that her daughter had been bewitched for half a month.
She looked at her daughter's test paper worriedly: "Since when did you like mathematics so much?"
But then she sighed again: "Science is enlightened, it would be great if liberal arts can also be enlightened."
If this is a bewitched state, it is best to stay in the bewitched state until next year six, when you are admitted to the Academy City Cagoffin Fashion Academy.
Xueli gave her mother a white look.
"Do you think I don't want to?" The problem is that the magical girl class in the dream doesn't include liberal arts!
Shirley thought sadly.
She started dreaming half a month ago after receiving the magic wand from Cecilia from her uncle.
At that time, Shirley was obsessed with the movie "Magical Girl☆Maya" (although the degree of fascination has increased now), and frantically collected all the peripherals related to the movie, hoping that she could also be as beautiful and charming as a magical girl. Powerful solution to troubles, but the most critical props "Magical Girl Transformation Wand" is not sold in Shesser, but can only be obtained by going to Cecilia, the capital of magic, to pass the test.
Xueli is not a three-year-old child, she knew it was a businessman's conspiracy as soon as she heard it.
Although her father promised her that as long as her grades reached the top [-] in the class, she would take her to Cecilia City to participate in the Holy Spirit Carnival during the winter vacation, but Xueli didn't want to bother with the final exam at all, so she secretly went to grind His uncle, a big businessman with businesses all over the place, asked him to buy a wand from Cecilia for him and send it back.
I didn't expect the promotional advertisement to be true!
Because Xueli's magic level is not enough, she can't transform with a magic wand!
But also from the day she got the wand, Xueli began to take lessons in her dreams every night, and the knowledge learned in it seemed to be really learned. If she didn't master it, she would repeat the lesson until she mastered it!
What can Shirley do?
Just start learning obediently!
It's just that when she watched "Magical Girl☆Maya" again, she felt a little complicated.
It turns out that magical girls need to learn so much knowledge before they can transform?But this way of learning is too cunning, and why not take liberal arts courses such as Chinese, history, aristocratic etiquette, language and geography!
Although I have memorized the formulas and problem-solving methods of mathematics and physics, I can’t really say that I have mastered them if I don’t find a few similar types of problems to do. In the exam, if you memorize all of them, you will get a perfect score. How happy that would be!
Fortunately, the improvement in science scores is enough.
This time, Xueli got a good grade in the top five of her class through the improvement of her science grades. Her father was so happy that she bought a luxury train ticket to Cecilia on the same day, planning to spend the whole winter vacation there. .
This is Xueli's seventh day on the train.
Xueli changed from being excited at the beginning to being indifferent now, even a little impatient.
But this train is already the fastest.
I heard that it took half a month for the train between Cecilia and Cecilia not long ago, because the passenger flow has increased recently, and there has been a significant increase in the number of guests who hope to arrive in Cecilia earlier, so it has been accelerated to seven days.
For Shirley, the long journey is finally coming to an end.
If the train is not late (which is almost impossible), you can reach the magical capital around noon.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Rachel couldn't sit still anymore. She took away her daughter's test paper, and urged the other party: "Even if you want to do the test, you have to wash and dress yourself before you come. What is it like now!"
At this time, my mother was invincible, and Xueli didn't dare to talk back.
But after Shirley finished washing and dressing, Mrs. Rachel urged her to have breakfast again, so she had no choice but to walk towards the compartment of the dining room.
When Shirley arrived at the restaurant, she found her father was already there.
Mr. Rachel, who had evidently come over as soon as he got up, was sitting on his seat with a newspaper in his dressing-gown—as gentlemen do on long journeys—and smiled broadly when he saw his daughter approach.
"Little Xueli, did you sleep well last night?"
"Very good, Daddy." Just one night of math.
Xueli walked over, kissed her father's left and right cheeks intimately, and then sat down beside him.
Mr. Rachel called the waiter in the restaurant and ordered breakfast for his daughter.
Xueli ate the train food that she was tired of long ago, and listened to her father read the words and sentences in the travel brochure according to the script: "Next we will pass through the longest tunnel on this route, the foggy tunnel; after passing through this tunnel, we will We can reach the Cecilia area, and then we will repair it at the forest station along the way, where we can see the spire of Cecilia's tallest mage tower, the Tower of No Owner."
Xueli has no interest in the spire of the mage tower.
"Do you have to stop? It's the last day, can't you go directly to Cecilia?" Xueli was already bored, "If the stopover time at these stops on the road is removed, I think we can reach Cecilia in only four days .”
"It's two days, my dear." Mr. Rachel corrected, and glanced at the newspaper he was just holding, "In order to attend the fiancee's birthday banquet, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's royal train arrived in Cecilia in only two days. Yacheng also represents the highest speed of trains today."
"Too bad we're not royals."
At this time, Mrs. Rachel came over, and she stared at her husband dissatisfied: "But we are going to our destination today, why are you still wearing a nightgown?"
"You're always making a fuss, and it's too late to change after the next stop—"
Before Mr. Rachel could finish speaking, the carriage suddenly went dark.
Then the lights in the car came on.
"This is the longest fog tunnel." Mr. Rachel said to his daughter.
This tunnel is indeed very long.
It was almost after Xueli finished her breakfast and the waiter took away the plates that the tunnel was completely completed.
The steam train let out a loud humming sound, and slowly came to a stop.
Xueli looked through the car window curiously, but she didn't see the spire of the legendary mage's tower, only the simple platform and lush trees, it was indeed a small station.
But such a simple scenery did not dampen Mr. Rachel's interest.
"Come on, let's get out of the car and have a look!" Mr. Rachel said with great interest.
"Can you calm down a little!" Mrs. Rachel said with a tiger's face, obviously not interested in running around.
Xueli looked at her happy father and then at her angry mother. Although she was not interested in the crude platform, she decided to follow her father to get off the bus and walk.
As a result, she just reached the train gate, and she couldn't help but froze.
"What a strong magical atmosphere." She couldn't help muttering.
Mr. Leiqie laughed and said, "Yes, it has such a strong magical breath. Our little Xueli is indeed a magical girl."
He obviously thinks his daughter's chuunibha is having an attack.
Xueli heard her father's teasing, and she hooked her father's arm resolutely.
"No, I mean it, there's a palpable sense of magic in this booth... oh, goblin!"
Xueli stared at one side of the platform, her eyes widened.
Her father also looked over and saw the goblin stand on the side of the platform, and then hurriedly looked at the pamphlet he was carrying with him.
"Yes, it's a goblin! This area belongs to the junction of the Misty Forest and Cecilia City. There used to be various magical creatures living here. I heard that the brave Lord Roy recruited his goblin partners here. sword, so now people here also have the custom of placing milk and bread at the door to entertain the goblin guests."
Very good, maintaining the image of being a "knowledgeable" father.
Little Xueli must admire Dad very much!
Mr. Rachel looked towards his daughter, and found that his daughter looked at him helplessly.
I just saw a fairy for real.
Only the size of a thumb, with dragonfly wings.
Xueli thought so in her heart, she wanted to describe to her father what she just saw, but her instinct stopped her, she knew her father would not believe it, but if she really heard his father's denial, she would feel very sad.
For the same reason, Xueli did not tell her parents about her dream class.
"The ones you saw just now are the Wind Fairies," said a pleasant male voice behind Xueli, "They used to be a race located in the west of the mainland, but Angel Cecilia built them in the Misty Forest. Fairy circle, a small one of them migrated here."
Shirley looked up when she heard the sound.
She found that the person speaking was a tall man in a white cloak. The other person had brilliant blond hair and a handsome face, especially the lake-like blue eyes. It seemed like she would sink into it just by looking at it.
Shirley blushed instantly.
Seeing this, Mr. Rachel had an ominous premonition.
The next moment, he really heard his daughter ask in a delicate voice that he had never heard before: "Is Angel Cecilia the Charming Daughter Cecilia? It doesn't sound like a female name!"
"No, I'm talking about the great magician Cecilia, who sealed the demons and demarcated the abyss," the man denied, "Although you humans have almost the same name."
"But the real name of the great magician Cecilia has never been mentioned in the history books."
"Because the great mage is still alive! It's not a good thing for a mage to spread his real name too widely."
"Wow, you know a lot!"
Xue Li said adoringly, her old father's goosebumps fell all over the ground from the sound of her voice.
It's a pity that now Xueli seems to have forgotten the existence of her old father, and only this handsome guy is left in her eyes: "Are you also going to the city of magic to participate in this year's holy spirit celebration?"
"Yes."
"Great!" Xueli almost cheered, she managed to maintain the volume that a lady should have, "Then we will go on the same road next!" Maybe we can participate in the carnival with such a handsome guy.
"Unfortunately, I'm about to get off here," the handsome guy refused. "There are still many days before the celebration, and I need to stay in the misty forest for a while."
"Alas..." Xueli let out a disappointed voice.
"However, little lady, if your goal is the celebration of Cecilia, you might as well visit the statue of the great magician in Cecilia!" The handsome man said meaningfully: "That statue may relieve your nightmare Maybe."
nightmare?But I didn't have a nightmare, did I?
Shirley thought strangely.
The handsome guy didn't want to talk to Xueli more, he nodded slightly to Xueli, carried the suitcase and walked down the platform, and quickly disappeared into the mist in the forest outside the platform.
The fog seemed to be thicker.
Mr. Leiqie couldn't see his daughter staring at the man's back obsessively. He pulled his daughter and said:
"Sherry! It's almost time for us to get in the car."
"Oh..." Xueli replied, but she didn't look away.
Mr. Rachel had to take his daughter's hand and pull her back to the car.
But at this time, there were still people blocking the door to talk.
"Mr. Allen, didn't you say you want to get out of the car and have a look?"
"No, not below! It's too bright! It's too bright! It feels like it's going to melt!"
"Are you a vampire?"
"No! This is different from the vampire's tanning, it's the tanning that the soul wants to go to heaven! It's terrible!"
"I think you've been hiding in the dark carriage for too long and are not used to the light! ... In short, don't stand at the door of the train, it will be bad if you interfere with the train running! You also want to see Ange as soon as possible Mister Er?"
"Ah, my muse, of course I hope to see him sooner, but I can't do it now, the light from just now! It will pollute that pure black existence! I have to remove the light pollution from just now! Sorry, Sir Mandela!"
"Wait a minute, Mr. Allen, where are you going—"
are you crazy!
Mr. Rachel struggled to squeeze through the crowd, and managed to bring his daughter back to the carriage.
He stood still in the section of the carriage that belonged to him, and smiled at his daughter: "The journey is too long, and it is easy to see strange people, but fortunately we are about to reach our destination."
"Yeah!" Xueli replied absent-mindedly.
Her gaze was still looking out of the car.
I don't know if it's because of the disappointment caused by the handsome guy's departure, or because of the outbreak of fatigue from the long-distance travel, Xueli suddenly doesn't look forward to reaching her destination so much.
She even thought it would be nice to stay a little longer in this foggy little station.
The magic of the fresh air seemed to cleanse her soul.
It's a pity that the next journey is fixed, and the whistle of the train sounded again soon after, roaring towards the city of Cecilia.
The Rachel family finally arrived in the magic capital at 08:30 in the evening.
(The train was, of course, delayed.)
Cecilia's first glance disappointed Shirley.
The train platform of the Magic City is no different from the platforms of other stations. It is far inferior to the hugeness and busyness of the Chesser Railway Station, and it is only 08:30 in the evening. There are no people on the road, and the dim street lights It looks a bit depressed when it shines on the old streets.
Not only Shirley thought so, but Mrs. Rachel thought so too.
Wearing the newly bought leather shoes, she carefully stepped on the cobblestone street, and asked with a frown, "Why is there no one here so early? Have we really arrived in Cecilia? And not some rural village?"
"Of course! This is the terminal!" Mr. Rachel replied.
In fact, he was not sure, so he glanced at the station sign of the train station, and then at the travel brochure, and said as if to justify: "Maybe the location of Cecilia's train station is relatively remote? After all This city is already so old, there is no extra space in the urban area to plan the railway station, so it can only be built outside the city.”
Mrs. Rachel didn't care about the reason, but asked: "Then how do we get to the hotel?"
You don't have to worry about this kind of problem in Chesser, because there are trams running between the cities 24 hours a day, and the visiting guests don't have to worry about finding a place to live.
Fortunately, the Leiqie family didn't have to worry for a long time. A carriage stopped in front of the family of three.
This carriage was sent by the hotel that had been booked—Xueli had won a carnival ticket in the movie’s peripheral store, where she could book the entire carnival travel project process—it was specially used to pick up and drop off guests who went to the hotel for accommodation.
"Look! I told you not to worry." Mr. Rachel breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he couldn't help but asked the coachman: "However, if there is no one who has booked a hotel, how can I enter the city?"
"Don't worry, if you wait a little longer, there will be other carriages." The groom replied, "Now there will be a train every morning, noon and evening. If the coachmen have no guests, they will go to the station to have a look."
"Are there only three trains a day?" Mrs. Rachel exclaimed incredulously.
"That's quite a lot, ma'am." The coachman replied, "Just half a year ago, there was only one train coming here every half a week!"
The main thing is that this city is located on the border, and there are no special products, and the previous industrial development is not very good, so the train that comes every half a week has already met the needs of passenger transportation.
It wasn't until Magic Gear's game table business developed that the station began to see passenger flow, and then the release of "Magical Girl" drove the development of production and tourism around the movie, and Cecilia finally ushered in a peak passenger flow.
It was a rare good time for Cecilia's coachman.
But for the guests from the most prosperous trading city, Shesser, this is simply unimaginable desolation.
The Rachel family was silent because of this.
Even Mr. Rachel, who was in high spirits along the way, doubted whether he was bewitched by the movie and wasted the family's rare Holy Spirit holiday in the desolate ancient city on the border.
This also made the family's interest low. They didn't even open the curtains of the carriage to look at the scenery outside - but it was so late, the lights were still dim, and there was really nothing to see - they went straight to the counter when they arrived at the hotel.
"Miss Xueli, who was invited by Cecilia, and your parents, there are three people in total, right?"
The kanban lady at the hotel asked with a smile. She was a girl with a sweet smile: "Welcome to Cecilia to participate in the most important festival of the year! You will definitely be blessed by Cecilia!"
Only then did Shirley raise the corners of her mouth and smiled.
For a girl who is only 15 years old, being entertained as a "protagonist" is a bit new.
It's a pity that this novelty is far from being able to completely remove the disappointment in her heart.
But the girl on the billboard at the hotel didn't seem to notice the disappointment of the guests. After registering the guests, she took a magic lamp and led the guests upstairs to the hotel.
The old staircase rattled under the guests' feet, prompting another round of displeasure from Mrs. Rachel.
"This staircase... is very old, isn't it?"
"Yes, our family's hotel has been in operation since the magic age, and it has a history of 790 years," the Kanban lady said in a bright tone, and she was obviously proud of it.
Her guest didn't think so: "Six thousand nine hundred... won't it collapse?" Mrs. Rachel worried.
The Kanban lady's smile froze.
They finally came to the door of the reserved room. The ancient oak door made Mrs. Rachel's brows frowned even tighter.
But the Kanban lady didn't take out the key, but raised her hand and drew a rune in the air.
The door suddenly opened with a "creak".
Rachel Family: Indifferent.
Perhaps because the journey was too tiring and the mood was too disappointing, even Xueli, who liked magical girls the most, was not interested in the Kanban girl's "little magic".
The Kanban lady didn't care, and she just introduced enthusiastically: "Everything in our hotel is controlled by magic. As long as the guests draw this rune, they can open and close the doors and lights, as well as use other services in the hotel."
"...Ah, but we are just ordinary people." Mr. Rachel said.
"It doesn't matter, in the city of magic, even those without talent can use magic!" The Kanban lady said with a bright smile, "You guys have a try!"
As she said this, she pointed to the room and said, "For example, draw a rune against the darkness and say 'Let there be light'?"
"Can't you stay in normally?" Mrs. Rachel asked bluntly.
"Can……"
"Let there be light!"
When Mrs. Rachel asked, Mr. Rachel drew the rune that the kanban lady just drew.
It's a very simple rune, you can draw it just by looking at it once.
The room suddenly lit up.
Mr. Rachel showed a child-like smile: "Look, I did it! I can use magic too... It hurts!"
Mr. Rachel was stepped on by Mrs. Rachel.
"Pfft!" Shirley couldn't help laughing.
The Kanban lady noticed Xueli's smile, and led her to the door of the next room: "This is the room of Ms. Cecilia's distinguished guest, please try it too!"
"..." Shirley hesitated for a moment.
She remembered the failure of her first wand.
"Dear Shirley, do you want me to help you?" Mr. Rachel saw his daughter's hesitation, and asked eagerly—no, he seemed to be just thinking it was for fun—and rushed to draw the rune.
The door didn't open.
"Each door must be opened by its owner." Kanban Niang said.
Xueli glanced at her father: "I will do it myself."
Saying so, she drew a rune, and the door opened.
"Let there be light!"
Xueli continued, and the lights in the room were also turned on.
"You can be bolder, after all, you are Cecilia's guest!" the Kanban lady whispered to Xueli.
What do you mean?
Xueli looked at the Kanban lady, but the other party only smiled at the guests and said, "You can try the various functions in the room by yourself, and if you have any trouble, you can tell me."
Saying so, the Kanban lady left from the corridor.
"It's fancy!" Mrs. Rachel obviously didn't like this, she pushed the suitcase into the room: "Such an old hotel, can't it be dirty?"
"Why do you always think of the bad," Mr. Rachel said.
And Xueli stood in the corridor for a while, she hesitated to draw the rune for the third time, and whispered:
"Transform?"
A burst of light surrounded her.
And Mrs. Rachel went around the room, and found that the hotel was old, but very clean, and some places were set up quite uniquely, and finally she felt less dissatisfied.
But praise is absolutely nonexistent.
This is what a hotel should do.
Mrs. Rachel only looked out the door: "Xue Li, what do you think... why did you change into pajamas?! When did you change?! And where did you get this pajamas from?"
"Just now! I almost went to rest!"
Xue Li replied, carrying her suitcase, and entered the room in a hurry.
"What's the matter with this girl?" Mrs. Rachel asked strangely, and looked at her husband, "She seems to be happy all of a sudden?"
"A hotel that can use magic, is it natural to be happy?" Mr. Rachel replied casually, he put his luggage away, and habitually found the hotel directory and looked at it, "Huh? This hotel seems to be able to save accommodation by meditation. Fee!"
Mrs. Rachel walked over at once.
"Let me see!"
"Can the untalented meditate?"
"It seems to be possible, and it seems to be quite easy."
The couple drew special runes according to the instruction manual, and quickly became addicted to it.
"Thank you, Mr. Jerry."
In the haze, the soft female voice said so, and the numbers on the blackboard gradually became blurred.
Shirley woke up.
Xueli first heard the unique noise on the train, and then felt the rhythmic vibration of the bed under her body, which almost made Xueli fall asleep again, but she struggled to open her eyes, staring at the scenery flying past outside the window and regurgitating her dream for a while Then he took out the final exam paper from his suitcase, and corrected the math problems that he didn't understand and made mistakes before.
Mrs. Rachel walked into Shirley's carriage just in time to see this scene, and her heart ached immediately.
"Little baby, don't make questions! Since we are traveling on vacation, we should forget about troubles." She said.
Xueli said strangely: "You didn't say that before."
You know, just half a month ago, her mother wanted to enroll her in three more cram schools, and would just press her against the desk as long as she was awake, but now she actually persuaded her to rest.
"Were you studying before?" You can tell at a glance whether you are really studying at the desk.
On the contrary, Mrs. Rachel felt that her daughter had been bewitched for half a month.
She looked at her daughter's test paper worriedly: "Since when did you like mathematics so much?"
But then she sighed again: "Science is enlightened, it would be great if liberal arts can also be enlightened."
If this is a bewitched state, it is best to stay in the bewitched state until next year six, when you are admitted to the Academy City Cagoffin Fashion Academy.
Xueli gave her mother a white look.
"Do you think I don't want to?" The problem is that the magical girl class in the dream doesn't include liberal arts!
Shirley thought sadly.
She started dreaming half a month ago after receiving the magic wand from Cecilia from her uncle.
At that time, Shirley was obsessed with the movie "Magical Girl☆Maya" (although the degree of fascination has increased now), and frantically collected all the peripherals related to the movie, hoping that she could also be as beautiful and charming as a magical girl. Powerful solution to troubles, but the most critical props "Magical Girl Transformation Wand" is not sold in Shesser, but can only be obtained by going to Cecilia, the capital of magic, to pass the test.
Xueli is not a three-year-old child, she knew it was a businessman's conspiracy as soon as she heard it.

Xueli has no interest in the spire of the mage tower.
"Do you have to stop? It's the last day, can't you go directly to Cecilia?" Xueli was already bored, "If the stopover time at these stops on the road is removed, I think we can reach Cecilia in only four days .”
"It's two days, my dear." Mr. Rachel corrected, and glanced at the newspaper he was just holding, "In order to attend the fiancee's birthday banquet, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's royal train arrived in Cecilia in only two days. Yacheng also represents the highest speed of trains today."
"Too bad we're not royals."
At this time, Mrs. Rachel came over, and she stared at her husband dissatisfied: "But we are going to our destination today, why are you still wearing a nightgown?"

Very good, maintaining the image of being a "knowledgeable" father.

"The ones you saw just now are the Wind Fairies," said a pleasant male voice behind Xueli, "They used to be a race located in the west of the mainland, but Angel Cecilia built them in the Misty Forest. Fairy circle, a small one of them migrated here."
Shirley looked up when she heard the sound.
She found that the person speaking was a tall man in a white cloak. The other person had brilliant blond hair and a handsome face, especially the lake-like blue eyes. It seemed like she would sink into it just by looking at it.
Shirley blushed instantly.
Seeing this, Mr. Rachel had an ominous premonition.
The next moment, he really heard his daughter ask in a delicate voice that he had never heard before: "Is Angel Cecilia the Charming Daughter Cecilia? It doesn't sound like a female name!"
"No, I'm talking about the great magician Cecilia, who sealed the demons and demarcated the abyss," the man denied, "Although you humans have almost the same name."
"But the real name of the great magician Cecilia has never been mentioned in the history books."
"Because the great mage is still alive! It's not a good thing for a mage to spread his real name too widely."
"Wow, you know a lot!"
Xue Li said adoringly, her old father's goosebumps fell all over the ground from the sound of her voice.
It's a pity that now Xueli seems to have forgotten the existence of her old father, and only this handsome guy is left in her eyes: "Are you also going to the city of magic to participate in this year's holy spirit celebration?"
"Yes."
"Great!" Xueli almost cheered, she managed to maintain the volume that a lady should have, "Then we will go on the same road next!" Maybe we can participate in the carnival with such a handsome guy.
"Unfortunately, I'm about to get off here," the handsome guy refused. "There are still many days before the celebration, and I need to stay in the misty forest for a while."
"Alas..." Xueli let out a disappointed voice.
"However, little lady, if your goal is the celebration of Cecilia, you might as well visit the statue of the great magician in Cecilia!" The handsome man said meaningfully: "That statue may relieve your nightmare Maybe."
nightmare?But I didn't have a nightmare, did I?
Shirley thought strangely.
The handsome guy didn't want to talk to Xueli more, he nodded slightly to Xueli, carried the suitcase and walked down the platform, and quickly disappeared into the mist in the forest outside the platform.
The fog seemed to be thicker.
Mr. Leiqie couldn't see his daughter staring at the man's back obsessively. He pulled his daughter and said:
"Sherry! It's almost time for us to get in the car."
"Oh..." Xueli replied, but she didn't look away.
Mr. Rachel had to take his daughter's hand and pull her back to the car.
But at this time, there were still people blocking the door to talk.
"Mr. Allen, didn't you say you want to get out of the car and have a look?"
"No, not below! It's too bright! It's too bright! It feels like it's going to melt!"
"Are you a vampire?"
"No! This is different from the vampire's tanning, it's the tanning that the soul wants to go to heaven! It's terrible!"
"I think you've been hiding in the dark carriage for too long and are not used to the light! ... In short, don't stand at the door of the train, it will be bad if you interfere with the train running! You also want to see Ange as soon as possible Mister Er?"
"Ah, my muse, of course I hope to see him sooner, but I can't do it now, the light from just now! It will pollute that pure black existence! I have to remove the light pollution from just now! Sorry, Sir Mandela!"
"Wait a minute, Mr. Allen, where are you going—"
are you crazy!
Mr. Rachel struggled to squeeze through the crowd, and managed to bring his daughter back to the carriage.
He stood still in the section of the carriage that belonged to him, and smiled at his daughter: "The journey is too long, and it is easy to see strange people, but fortunately we are about to reach our destination."
"Yeah!" Xueli replied absent-mindedly.
Her gaze was still looking out of the car.
I don't know if it's because of the disappointment caused by the handsome guy's departure, or because of the outbreak of fatigue from the long-distance travel, Xueli suddenly doesn't look forward to reaching her destination so much.
She even thought it would be nice to stay a little longer in this foggy little station.
The magic of the fresh air seemed to cleanse her soul.
It's a pity that the next journey is fixed, and the whistle of the train sounded again soon after, roaring towards the city of Cecilia.
The Rachel family finally arrived in the magic capital at 08:30 in the evening.
(The train was, of course, delayed.)
Cecilia's first glance disappointed Shirley.
The train platform of the Magic City is no different from the platforms of other stations. It is far inferior to the hugeness and busyness of the Chesser Railway Station, and it is only 08:30 in the evening. There are no people on the road, and the dim street lights It looks a bit depressed when it shines on the old streets.
Not only Shirley thought so, but Mrs. Rachel thought so too.
Wearing the newly bought leather shoes, she carefully stepped on the cobblestone street, and asked with a frown, "Why is there no one here so early? Have we really arrived in Cecilia? And not some rural village?"
"Of course! This is the terminal!" Mr. Rachel replied.
In fact, he was not sure, so he glanced at the station sign of the train station, and then at the travel brochure, and said as if to justify: "Maybe the location of Cecilia's train station is relatively remote? After all This city is already so old, there is no extra space in the urban area to plan the railway station, so it can only be built outside the city.”
Mrs. Rachel didn't care about the reason, but asked: "Then how do we get to the hotel?"
You don't have to worry about this kind of problem in Chesser, because there are trams running between the cities 24 hours a day, and the visiting guests don't have to worry about finding a place to live.
Fortunately, the Leiqie family didn't have to worry for a long time. A carriage stopped in front of the family of three.
This carriage was sent by the hotel that had been booked—Xueli had won a carnival ticket in the movie’s peripheral store, where she could book the entire carnival travel project process—it was specially used to pick up and drop off guests who went to the hotel for accommodation.
"Look! I told you not to worry." Mr. Rachel breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he couldn't help but asked the coachman: "However, if there is no one who has booked a hotel, how can I enter the city?"
"Don't worry, if you wait a little longer, there will be other carriages." The groom replied, "Now there will be a train every morning, noon and evening. If the coachmen have no guests, they will go to the station to have a look."
"Are there only three trains a day?" Mrs. Rachel exclaimed incredulously.
"That's quite a lot, ma'am." The coachman replied, "Just half a year ago, there was only one train coming here every half a week!"
The main thing is that this city is located on the border, and there are no special products, and the previous industrial development is not very good, so the train that comes every half a week has already met the needs of passenger transportation.
It wasn't until Magic Gear's game table business developed that the station began to see passenger flow, and then the release of "Magical Girl" drove the development of production and tourism around the movie, and Cecilia finally ushered in a peak passenger flow.
It was a rare good time for Cecilia's coachman.
But for the guests from the most prosperous trading city, Shesser, this is simply unimaginable desolation.
The Rachel family was silent because of this.
Even Mr. Rachel, who was in high spirits along the way, doubted whether he was bewitched by the movie and wasted the family's rare Holy Spirit holiday in the desolate ancient city on the border.
This also made the family's interest low. They didn't even open the curtains of the carriage to look at the scenery outside - but it was so late, the lights were still dim, and there was really nothing to see - they went straight to the counter when they arrived at the hotel.
"Miss Xueli, who was invited by Cecilia, and your parents, there are three people in total, right?"
The kanban lady at the hotel asked with a smile. She was a girl with a sweet smile: "Welcome to Cecilia to participate in the most important festival of the year! You will definitely be blessed by Cecilia!"
Only then did Shirley raise the corners of her mouth and smiled.
For a girl who is only 15 years old, being entertained as a "protagonist" is a bit new.
It's a pity that this novelty is far from being able to completely remove the disappointment in her heart.
But the girl on the billboard at the hotel didn't seem to notice the disappointment of the guests. After registering the guests, she took a magic lamp and led the guests upstairs to the hotel.
The old staircase rattled under the guests' feet, prompting another round of displeasure from Mrs. Rachel.
"This staircase... is very old, isn't it?"
"Yes, our family's hotel has been in operation since the magic age, and it has a history of 790 years," the Kanban lady said in a bright tone, and she was obviously proud of it.
Her guest didn't think so: "Six thousand nine hundred... won't it collapse?" Mrs. Rachel worried.
The Kanban lady's smile froze.
They finally came to the door of the reserved room. The ancient oak door made Mrs. Rachel's brows frowned even tighter.
But the Kanban lady didn't take out the key, but raised her hand and drew a rune in the air.
The door suddenly opened with a "creak".
Rachel Family: Indifferent.
Perhaps because the journey was too tiring and the mood was too disappointing, even Xueli, who liked magical girls the most, was not interested in the Kanban girl's "little magic".
The Kanban lady didn't care, and she just introduced enthusiastically: "Everything in our hotel is controlled by magic. As long as the guests draw this rune, they can open and close the doors and lights, as well as use other services in the hotel."
"...Ah, but we are just ordinary people." Mr. Rachel said.
"It doesn't matter, in the city of magic, even those without talent can use magic!" The Kanban lady said with a bright smile, "You guys have a try!"
As she said this, she pointed to the room and said, "For example, draw a rune against the darkness and say 'Let there be light'?"
"Can't you stay in normally?" Mrs. Rachel asked bluntly.
"Can……"
"Let there be light!"
When Mrs. Rachel asked, Mr. Rachel drew the rune that the kanban lady just drew.
It's a very simple rune, you can draw it just by looking at it once.
The room suddenly lit up.
Mr. Rachel showed a child-like smile: "Look, I did it! I can use magic too... It hurts!"
Mr. Rachel was stepped on by Mrs. Rachel.
"Pfft!" Shirley couldn't help laughing.
The Kanban lady noticed Xueli's smile, and led her to the door of the next room: "This is the room of Ms. Cecilia's distinguished guest, please try it too!"
"..." Shirley hesitated for a moment.
She remembered the failure of her first wand.
"Dear Shirley, do you want me to help you?" Mr. Rachel saw his daughter's hesitation, and asked eagerly—no, he seemed to be just thinking it was for fun—and rushed to draw the rune.
The door didn't open.
"Each door must be opened by its owner." Kanban Niang said.
Xueli glanced at her father: "I will do it myself."
Saying so, she drew a rune, and the door opened.
"Let there be light!"
Xueli continued, and the lights in the room were also turned on.
"You can be bolder, after all, you are Cecilia's guest!" the Kanban lady whispered to Xueli.
What do you mean?
Xueli looked at the Kanban lady, but the other party only smiled at the guests and said, "You can try the various functions in the room by yourself, and if you have any trouble, you can tell me."
Saying so, the Kanban lady left from the corridor.
"It's fancy!" Mrs. Rachel obviously didn't like this, she pushed the suitcase into the room: "Such an old hotel, can't it be dirty?"
"Why do you always think of the bad," Mr. Rachel said.
And Xueli stood in the corridor for a while, she hesitated to draw the rune for the third time, and whispered:
"Transform?"
A burst of light surrounded her.
And Mrs. Rachel went around the room, and found that the hotel was old, but very clean, and some places were set up quite uniquely, and finally she felt less dissatisfied.
But praise is absolutely nonexistent.
This is what a hotel should do.
Mrs. Rachel only looked out the door: "Xue Li, what do you think... why did you change into pajamas?! When did you change?! And where did you get this pajamas from?"
"Just now! I almost went to rest!"
Xue Li replied, carrying her suitcase, and entered the room in a hurry.
"What's the matter with this girl?" Mrs. Rachel asked strangely, and looked at her husband, "She seems to be happy all of a sudden?"
"A hotel that can use magic, is it natural to be happy?" Mr. Rachel replied casually, he put his luggage away, and habitually found the hotel directory and looked at it, "Huh? This hotel seems to be able to save accommodation by meditation. Fee!"
Mrs. Rachel walked over at once.
"Let me see!"
"Can the untalented meditate?"
"It seems to be possible, and it seems to be quite easy."
The couple drew special runes according to the instruction manual, and quickly became addicted to it.
