The Troublesome Hero Among the Heroes

A long horn sounded, and fleet gradually approached a busy port.

The elves like to use local plants to name the city. This port city in the northeast corner of the Spirit Tree Sea is named Reed City because of the large reeds on the beach outside the city.

The territory of the Spirit Race implements a policy of limited opening to the outside world. The boundary of the Spirit Tree Sea to the north-the mountain range that traverses the east and west is the boundary. The hinterland of the Spirit Race in the south prohibits unauthorized human beings. Enter.

In addition to hunting devil beasts, the "rangers" in the peak mountain range will smoothly kill one or two teams of overconfident people every year.

The exchanges between humans and Spirit Race are all concentrated in the open cities north of each pass in the 13 peak mountain range from east to west.

If humans want to enter the hinterland of Spirit Race, they need to apply to the relevant departments in these cities, and they can go there with a permit after obtaining approval.

Reed City is the nearest port city to the south of the mountain range. It is the easternmost and northernmost city in the hinterland of Spirit Race. It is also an important port city and transportation hub.

Charles and their ship hung the flags of the Temple of Life and Spirit King Court. From then on, Elizabeth was no longer the Big Boss of a caravan, but Saintess of the Temple of Life And Princess of the Spirit King Court.

When the ships on the sea near the port evaded, they let the leaders go first.

The sailboat drew ashore soon, and the human sailors on the sailboat could only move around in the port area. When they lay ashore, they were discussing which store to go to have a drink tonight.

At this time, Charles has put on suitable clothes and waited for the gangway to be set up. The local leadership team has immediately arrived at the port to welcome Elizabeth Princess and his party.

The welcome ceremony arranged by the local leadership team was very simple, and the guards were asked to clear a part of the pier, and then the team members collectively welcomed Elizabeth home.

This is the basic operation once a year. After everyone walks through the process, they will do their own things.

On the carriage, Elizabeth looked at Diana sitting next to Mira with a bit of surprise. When she met with the local leadership team just now, she did not behave as nervous as Modred. Elizabeth asked her: "You don't seem to be nervous at all in front of them?"

Diana laughed, "I'm just stupid and bold."

She thought to her, according to the jurisdiction of the population. , The other party is also a county-level official cadre, there is nothing to be nervous about.

Everyone wandered at sea for several days. Although no one was seasick, the few people who had just disembarked felt very tired. After entering the accommodation arranged by Reed City, they ate something and took a rest.

Early in the morning of the second day, the entire group came to the station and prepared to travel to the capital of Spirit King Court by rail.

At Charles’s hometown, the Twin Castles once built a light railway about 6 kilometers long for horse-drawn trains to pull people and goods from the city to the railway station in the north of the city.

Ten years later, the annual net profit of this horse-drawn railway surpassed the stocks invested at the beginning.

At that time, a freight train driven by twelve horses had four carriages, which could transport 30 tons of goods at a time.

At that time, someone wanted to build the same 120-kilometer railway, but unfortunately it was not approved.

It's a pity that the railway in Shuang Castle was demolished by the Puppet Manchukuo after 30 years of operation.

In this world without steam locomotives, the trains on the railway use 10-headed ground dragons, which are about the size of Liuzhou Wuling, in a 3-3-3-1 formation. A train consisting of a wooden car body with a steel bottom.

This carriage is quite spacious, because the width of the ground line dragon body reaches about 1.6 meters, and the gauge of this railway reaches 1.8 meters.

There is a shock absorber between the bottom of the car and the compartment, so you won’t feel too much vibration and shaking when sitting in the compartment.

Charles curiously looked at the field outside the car window. Pieces of farmland and orchards retreated outside the window. From time to time, I could see elven farmers carrying farm tools standing by the railway waiting for the train to pass by. railway.

The section of the road that just left Reed City is relatively straight, and the earth travel dragon pulling the cart has enough physical strength. Now the train is moving forward at a speed a hundred times faster than the falling of the cherry blossoms.

Mudred, who had just ran a lap from the front to the rear of the car, sat beside Charles excitedly, and told Charles what he had learned.

Just then, there was a horn from the locomotive. Except for the sound of the horn, the same sound came from far ahead.

Not long after, the heavy footsteps of the Earth Traveling Dragon became louder and louder, and then another train passed them on the other railway next to them.

That is also a half-passenger and half-cargo train, with several passenger carriages hanging in the front, and trucks full of goods pulled behind. On the top of the car you can also see several car escorts sitting on the roof chatting.

Smiling and listening to Mordred talking about how the animal trainer in the front of the car controls the running of the dragon, Charles always felt that something was missing in the car.

It wasn't until the conductor in uniform brought lunch at noon that he remembered the lack of a "beer, drink, mineral water, peanuts and melon seeds and eight-treasure porridge, and let his legs give way."

There may be other carriages, but it is estimated that there will not be any in their carriages.

I have to say that in Spirit Race where lifespan is much longer than human beings, you can see a variety of popular clothing from different periods.

For example, the female conductors on the train are now wearing a white long-sleeved shirt with a red sleeveless waistcoat and a knee-length skirt of the same color with white stockings. I don’t know which period the hero brought Wearing his costume on the elves who are the peak of continent's appearance, a certain population almost flowed out from the sight of you.

"You have a rope loop here, you pull it with your fingers, the stopper will come out, and then you can pour the drink into your mouth."

Charles, who was sitting on the opposite side of Mira and Diana, pretended to have their calves on each side, and taught Modred how to drink the juice from the "pull and fill" made of bamboo.

Just during lunch time, the train left the main trunk to the branch line, and then stopped at a small station.

Because it is not an emergency, Elizabeth and the others took a special carriage instead of a special train. In other carriages, there are passengers and cargoes getting on and off at stations along the way.

At the position of the truck at the rear of the train, the porters pulled up a light crane, and immediately loaded and unloaded the goods after they were secured.

While waiting to drive again, Charles got off the train and ran to the platform to buy a few marinated eggs, marinated chicken drumsticks, and a basket of fruit.

"Is there not enough for lunch?" Elizabeth gave Charles angrily.

"Supplement Mordred." Charles defended his feelings.
