Alien Paradise.

Chapter 428 The Reason for Dedicating a Lifetime
The train ran steadily on the track, leaving the trees behind.

The farther we got from the royal city, the plainer the scenery became, and the more backward the cities we passed became. Especially after we entered the southeast forest area, uncultivated land and dense forests became the mainstream scenery.

Farelan looked at the scenery outside the window and sighed with a little regret.

Although his family was safe, the results of his life's work were also gone.

"Are you reluctant to give up your house, money, and connections in the capital?" Dann, who was sitting opposite, joked.

"Yes, I can't bear to leave." Facing his old friend, he didn't even bother to hide it. "You are not like me. I can support myself and the whole family will not worry." At this point, Farelan looked back at the seat behind him, and after confirming that his wife and children were asleep, he continued, "Ailan hasn't said anything to me yet, but she must be complaining in her heart. She can tolerate a rough life, but the problem of the child's future is different. I don't know if Qianlin Castle needs a detective, otherwise I will go with you to be a reporter."

Seeing that Dann didn't say anything, he couldn't help but stroke his forehead, "You don't really want me to be a lumberjack, do you?"

"Don't worry," Dane laughed, "There are more opportunities in Thousand Limburg than you think. It's a brand new place now."

No matter how beautiful it is, it is just a small town on the outskirts of the city, Farelan thought. Ever since he had seen the extravagance and decadence of the royal city, he felt that other places were no different from the countryside.

Of course, that place now belongs to the territory of the Paradise Cult.

However, the headquarters of the Paradise Cult was on the other side of the sea. He had been to Splendid Castle more than half a year ago. Even though the latter was considered one of the better developed cities among the pioneer cities, it could definitely not be compared with the Royal Capital.

"Thank you for your comfort." Farelan replied nonchalantly, "If there is a good teacher in Qianlinburg, please recommend one to me."

As he was talking, the woods suddenly spread out to both sides, and the view suddenly opened up.

Farelan was slightly startled.

He saw that both sides of the railway were all cultivated and leveled land, some of which were just piled with a lot of materials, while others had already been built. This area was almost endless, and God knew how many acres it occupied. What was even more incredible was that there were many wheeled machines running around on the site, and they didn't even need to take a breath even if they were dragging a dozen logs, which was many times more efficient than horse-drawn carriages.

"Are these steam cars?"

It's not that no company has ever built a steam car that doesn't require rails, but it's slow to start and slow to decelerate, and it requires a talented driver, so it's never become popular in the market.

“No, they are all new energy vehicles.”

"What kind of new energy?"

"That... I don't know either." Dann smiled. "It is said that as long as an energy group is placed within a hundred miles, it can drive hundreds of machines. It is a new thing that Mr. Chao developed after I left. So if you ask me what it is specifically, I can't answer."

"Ah?" Farelan was very surprised. "You have been in the capital for less than a year, right?"

Dann admitted, "But for Paradise Church, every month brings about earth-shaking changes...so a year is quite a long time."

When the train approached the city, Farelan was shocked to find that the towering buildings here were comparable to those in the royal city. Most of them were three to four-story brick buildings, and in the distance he could see several "real tall buildings" rising from the ground, which were conservatively estimated to be more than ten stories high!
You should know that the number of buildings is an important indicator of whether a city is developed or not!
Is this really a small border town in the kingdom?

He must be dreaming.

"It seems that the construction skills of Paradise Church have reached a new level." Dann said with relief, "Mr. Chao is indeed a person who can create miracles."

…Is this something that was built by someone?
Farellan didn't believe it in his heart.

On the surface, it is a series of houses, but in reality, it is made of bricks, tiles, cement, steel bars, glass, and the cooperation of dozens of workers. Without sufficient materials and money, it is impossible to support a city of this size. Even Sancia has gone through nearly a hundred years of repairs and renovations to become its current magnificent appearance, and more than a few hundred workers have died in this process.

Although the Paradise Church did come up with some amazing structures in the Splendid Castle, house construction is another matter. No matter how amazing the structures are, houses have to be built brick by brick. After getting off the train, the Farelan family was stunned.

The station here is actually bigger than the one in the royal city, with seven or eight rails and platforms crisscrossed, and a large number of passengers coming and going, making this place look like a downtown area.

Recalling the reports he had seen in the royal city about the miracles of the Paradise Cult, he was surprised and asked, "Could these be tourists who came to visit?"

"From what I understand, the percentage of tourists is currently declining," Dann explained. "Recently, a large number of people have flocked here. Some are looking for jobs in Thousand Forest Castle, Acropolis, and Splendid Castle, while others want to settle down here. Didn't we see a lot of vacant land before? Those are residential areas under construction."

"You said just now that you didn't know!" Farelan shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Technical details and urban planning are two different things. After all, when I was in the capital, I was able to receive news from here." Dann said, "Come on, I'll take you to your accommodation. Your house is ready."

"my house?"

"Yes, His Excellency Chao specially arranged it. You don't have to worry about your work. After you have a day's rest, someone from Paradise Church will contact you."

It took Farelan a while to come back to his senses. "Why didn't you tell me in advance? I was still thinking about how to solve the problem of food and accommodation. Great...it turns out that you are doing so well here. I thought you were just a reporter for a small newspaper like before."

"Actually... I'm pretty much the same as before. The reason why Mr. Chao took care of you was because you helped the editor who promoted Paradise Education, which has nothing to do with me."

"Oh..." Although he said that, his friend's face showed disbelief. "Then let me ask you, how much does the park teacher offer you?"

"If I'm on a business trip, it's five Seril a month. Otherwise, it's two a month. Of course...if I publish a report, I can get an extra fee."

"Are you... sure?" Farilan was a little unconvinced. This salary was not low, but it was far from being commensurate with Dann's status as someone who could talk to the envoy of God at any time.

His monthly income in the capital was at least fifty or sixty thirils, but even so he couldn't easily see the King.

Looking at the other person's "what do you think" look, Farelan realized that this was true.

He is still the same Court Dane he was ten years ago, and what can keep him here is never pure profit.

"It's actually not that hard to understand... You'll understand it after you stay here for a while." Dane took the suitcase from Ailan and said, "Go put the luggage away first, and then we'll have dinner together tonight."

Farilan's house was near the Akarian Church. It was a three-bedroom, one-living room apartment on the second floor. All the basic furniture had been put in place. By the time he had finished cleaning and put away his luggage, it was already getting dark.

It was at this moment that the two children noticed something strange outside the window, "Mom, it's light outside."

Farilan walked to the window curiously, and then his eyes widened - he saw brilliant lights everywhere in the city, red, white, yellow, blue... It was like countless rainbows that had been taken apart.

"What is this..." He muttered as he pushed open the door and walked outside, only to find that it was not his hallucination. The streets and tall buildings of the city were all illuminated by these neon lights... Even when the night was about to cover the earth, it was still colorful instead of black and white. From another perspective, the night of Qianlin Castle was even more gorgeous and charming than the day.

In fact, he was not the only one who thought so.

There were obviously more people walking on the street than during the day, and the lively laughter and chattering could be heard clearly even from the second floor... Whether they came out to escape the heat or buy some snacks to satisfy their cravings, people's expressions seemed quite relaxed, and they didn't seem to be worried about harassment from the underworld, let alone worries about war.

"This is Paradise..." Dane walked up to him and said, "Like you, this is the first time I've seen the night view here, but it's exactly the same as the scene I've imagined countless times in my mind. Paradise is not just a name, but the land and people it cultivates... I used to think that such a world was almost impossible to exist, but now I don't think so... You see, the reason why I'm willing to devote my life to it is not that difficult to understand, right?"
