On the Seven Towers

A strange-looking car was driving among the lofty mountains in the Black Mountain region where spring was getting stronger.

This carriage is different from any other carriage in the kingdom. It is shorter in shape and has a slender carriage. The most important thing is that there is no horse in front. Instead, there is a huge square front end with only one The driver sits behind the front of the car outside the compartment. He holds a steering wheel and controls the direction of the car. There are no instruments on the front of the car, but there is a dimple embedded with crystals. There is a blue-white crystal stone placed on it, which makes the surrounding magic circle shine faintly. There is also a ruler engraved on the magic circle, so that the speed of the car can be judged.

The rear compartment is luxuriously equipped with a row of glass windows, allowing passengers in the compartment to see the scenery outside. The boarding position is at the rear of the car. There are two rows of seats facing each other, which can accommodate about twenty people. Although the seats are not as comfortable and luxurious as high-end carriages, they are also equipped with leather-covered cushions and backrests to reduce the fatigue of long-distance passengers. The outside of the carriage was painted in eye-catching orange and white colors, and a sign hung on the front of the carriage read: South Line No. 2 Road.

The scientific name of this car is Magic Crystal Power Car, or Crystal Car for short. Many locals also call it a Chinese car or a magic car. It is essentially an electric vehicle that uses a rotating magnetic field generated by a discharge array to drive a motor and generate power. However, the Chinese's current metallurgy and manufacturing processes are not up to par. Even if many alchemists forcibly improve the material level, there are still A large number of dwarven craftsmen handcraft precision parts. The things made are still relatively silly, big and clumsy, so the crystal car has a big front. But no matter what, the technology team, the magic team and the industrial team worked together to develop electric cars that had just started in that world into this world.

But if anyone thinks this car is just a simplified and crude version of an electric car from another world, they are wrong. Magic is not only used in the power of this car, but also in many other places. For example, this car is also equipped with a weight-reducing magic circle. Although it also requires spar to activate, it can reduce the weight of the car by 50%. Together with the stabilizing array, the shaking of the car can be minimized, and there are two wind-making arrays located at the rear to allow the vehicle to accelerate in an emergency.

It was faster than a horse-drawn carriage and carried a much better load. As the second-generation flagship product of Hewanjing Automobile Factory, which was established nearly a year ago. It has been purchased in large quantities by the government and has opened up several passenger and freight routes between territories.

Jenny and Doris are sitting in this car now. Although the fare costs twenty copper shields, the car is almost full. There is no such thing as traveling in this era, and most people don’t have distant relatives to leave. . So except for the two of them, the car was full of civil servants on business trips, soldiers on vacation visiting relatives, and businessmen talking about business. Therefore, the two girls, one large and one small, stood out among a group of men.

This is Jenny's first trip from Arano to Reach. She has been doing well in the past year or so, so this time she got a chance to visit her brother Ackley and sister Ruth. Although the journey to Riverbend New City was smooth, Doris could not worry about leaving Jenny alone. The little girl ran so far, so he offered to accompany her there.

It was the first time for Jenny to ride such a car. She was still curious for a long time after getting on the car. However, it took four full days to complete this route. She would spend the night at a rest stop along the way every night. The novelty felt very fast in the first two days. Just spending time on the long journey, now she has become accustomed to this magical car.

But Jenny was still a child after all, and she remained curious enough about interesting places along the way. She pointed to a canyon outside the window. In the canyon, colorful flowers covered the entire valley floor in layers. Several mountain ridges extended up to the top of the mountain, like a huge, blooming flower. She said: "Doris, look! The wild flowers in the valley there are so beautiful. Such a large sea of ​​flowers, and It’s not common to see so many color variations around our house.”

"Yeah, last time I went to Riverbend City with Mayor Chen, he told me that this kind of scenery is very valuable. What kind of tourist area can it be developed into in the future? It's not just here. There was a branch road going down yesterday, and there is A very beautiful waterhole. One day further on, there is a cave. "Doris has been to Hewan New Town twice as a cadre of the Women's Association, and she talks about everything she saw on the road.

"Old Chen is really good at talking. He can turn anything into a business." A man who looked like an officer from the escort battalion said, "Where are the people traveling nowadays?"

"This gentleman, Mayor Chen always said that he is confident that as long as everyone's life gets better, they will pursue beautiful things. I believe in him, and the promises he made to us before have been fulfilled one by one." Liz admired Chen Hansheng the most and naturally defended him.

"Well, I hope it will be like what he said in the future." The young officer smiled, "Are you locals from Alano Town?"

"Yes, I am actually very familiar with the soldiers in Alano Town. Why haven't I seen you?" Doris asked.

The officer said: "My name is Shi Hao. I went to Alano for a mission two days ago, and now I am going back to Hebend New City. As for you, I rarely see girls like you traveling to such a far distance."

"We went to Hebend New City to see our relatives." Doris said.

"Relatives?" Shi Hao was a little surprised, "I don't remember that the committee has moved any residents of Alano Town to Hebend. As for the Hebend side, there are no relatives in Alano Town. We have done this a long time ago. Check."

"This..." Doris hesitated.

Shi Hao raised his eyebrows as if waiting for her answer.

Doris saw Shi Hao's expression and felt a little nervous. Since last autumn, many spies have been caught in the territory of the Tower of China, including those from the kingdom, the empire, the southern city-states, and the surrounding nobles. It seems that all of a sudden, everyone is interested in other people's intelligence. Doris herself caught a spy disguised as a businessman. She was afraid that she would cause unnecessary suspicion, but she didn't want to discuss Jenny's affairs in such a public place.

Shi Hao asked: "Miss, is there anything inconvenient for you?"

"Mr. Officer, if you have something to talk to me in detail, why don't we talk about it at the next rest stop. I think some things are not suitable to be said here."

Shi Hao was about to agree when he heard Jenny say: "No, sir, have you heard of Ackley and Ruth? They are my brother and sister."

Thank you for the reward from the book friend Come to a Cup of Eternal Life Wine!

More than half a year has passed here than the prologue. In this era, preparations for war, especially for a full-scale war, are often slow. As mentioned in the previous chapter, the war between the Kingdom and the Empire had just ended a few years ago, and it would take a particularly long time to prepare for another war.
