The train with red as the main color started slowly, and the girl with long blue hair on the platform couldn't stop waving, and her heroic face was full of reluctance, and the girl was naturally Laura.

The competition a few days ago, with the intervention of Victor, came to an end.

In the final analysis, the two are just competing, not fighting, and if they really don't care about letting them exchange last moves, I'm afraid that if they don't die, they will be seriously injured, so Viscount Victor will stop it.

And the two girls also knew that there was a "Swordsman of Light" to press the scene, so they opened up so fearlessly.

The results of letting go of the battle are naturally quite rich, Yaniras has completed the same tone as "Swift Feather", and Laura has mastered the power of ripples, and the two have comprehended their own mysteries on this basis, and they are only one step away from reaching Okuchuan. (Yani Rath is still not as good as Laura, after all, Yani is 19, Laura is 16, and she is three years old.) ）

After the battle, separation ensued. Viscount Victor was invited by the Grandmaster of the Fandel family to travel to the western part of the empire, and Laura was one of them.

Lane has been away from home for half a year, and the closer he gets to home, the more he misses his family and friends.

The figure through the window became more and more invisible, and finally the entire train disappeared from view, and Laura turned around and put down her hand abruptly.

It's not the first time they've separated, so why are you more reluctant than ever?

Obviously just friends, why does it make her heart clog when she sees Lixia and Yanelas by her side?

Well, we're best friends, and I just don't want to see him go further and further down the path of scum. Laura secretly admonished herself, but the sourness in her heart always lingered.

What's wrong with me? Tell me, Rie, what the hell am I going to do?

On the train, Rien leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes.

In my mind, the bits and pieces of getting along with Laura always lingered.

In the misty morning, she wielded her sword meticulously; On a sunny afternoon, she jumped lightly and frolicked happily in the water; In the breezy evening, she held a book and told the children the story of "Iron Cavalry".

In the dojo, the swords were intertwined, and he would smile slightly when he saw the joyful smile on her face.

In the study, he wandered through the sea of books, occasionally looking up, and caught a glimpse of her lightly bringing him a cup of black tea, for fear of disturbing him.

In front of the statue of the Holy Maiden, she prayed sincerely, and her attentive appearance made him involuntary to accompany the prayer.

Laura, unconsciously, you have left such a deep mark on your heart.

Laura, I'm waiting, waiting for the day when I reunite with you in Tolz.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The train sped on the railway, and the scenery on both sides was rapidly receding. In the north, there are many mountains and hills, and the train follows the tracks, winding and undulating, which has a unique taste. Suddenly, it was dark, and it turned out to be a train entering the tunnel.

"Tut ~" There are trains approaching in the distance, and they sound their whistles to each other to say hello. The train staggered by, and the passengers by the window looked at each other through the window with different expressions.

These may not be a lot to the citizens of the Empire who are accustomed to trains, but they are nothing more than a novelty for Selestie, who is riding a train for the first time.

"Is this the train? It's a very interesting means of transportation. "Through a spiritual connection, Selesty experienced feelings that she had never felt before.

"Compared to an empty boat, it has a much larger carrying capacity, both for people and cargo." Li En knows everything, and he says everything.

"However, it seems that the comfort and agility are quite inferior to those of an empty boat." Selesty is a tech nerd who understands the train's shortcomings at a glance.

"There is no way around it, the main mode of transportation is too expensive for the Empire. Therefore, the prime minister rejected Lieber's proposal to roll out the railway network in full. ”

"I see, not only to save costs, but also to ensure the convenience of transportation. By the way, Rian, why didn't the train go to your hometown, it seems to be called the name Youmer. ”

"Although the railway basically covers the entire territory of the empire, there are still some places that cannot be reached. For one, Umir is a border town, remote and inhabited, so it is worth the cost of building a railway. Second, Uumir is still within the range of the Isint Mountains, and the whole town is built on the mountainside, and the terrain is so steep that it is even more difficult to build a railway. With that effort and funds, it is better to buy an empty boat directly. ”

"No wonder you want to save up for an empty boat."

"Of course, there are also plans to drive a spaceship through the city, which is much more than a cow driving a car or something." Rien smiled, he didn't have any scruples about Selestie, and said, "Ah, I don't know if you can understand my feelings." ”

"Understood." Seresty replied affirmatively, "I've had similar thoughts. ”

"Oh?"

"The main design of the protective suit you wore was actually completed a long time ago, but I changed it several times because I was not satisfied with the style."

"Then we're so well in tune." Rien laughed.

"I think so too."

"Then when I get my airship, you will help me transform it?"

"Okay." Selesty agreed, "To be honest, the current channeling technology is far worse than our Sealing Mechanism. ”

This is the pride of scientists, and it remains the same even after thousands of years.

"Hmm" Li En hesitated for a moment and said, "I believe your technical ability, the problem is that my operational ability and existing equipment do not meet your requirements"

"Well, that's really a problem, I should have gone to Chase Workshop first."

"Liber has Chase, and the empire has Luray, which is where we are going to get off the bus, and we will stop by to investigate?"

"Hmm."

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Black, Silver and Steel Capital" - Luray, the capital of the northern state of Nodia, belonged to the Marquis of Rogner, one of the "Four Famous Families".

Luray is to the empire what Chase is to Lieber, representing the country's highest technological and manufacturing power, an industrial powerhouse, and a research and development center. The technology here is highly developed, and any new things will be promoted from here to the whole country.

Unlike other cities in the Empire, the whole of Luray is full of modern buildings with reinforced concrete structures, and the famous Zaxon Iron Mine is nearby, hence the name "Black Silver Steel Capital".

There are three of the most iconic buildings in the whole city: the towering columnar guide tower, which is responsible for supplying the city's guiding force; To the east of the city, the Luray University of Technology, the highest institution of imperial engineers, of which Dr. G. Schmidt, who is named after Dr. Russell, is the rector of the university; Located in the heart of the city is the headquarters of the "Lane Fort" - the largest industrial manufacturer in West Semlia and the second largest chaebol.

From time to time, researchers in white coats hurriedly walked by, and the guide shops were everywhere, and a dazzling array of guide products made people pick and choose at the same time, and at the same time, they had to feel whether the wallet was enough to drum - guide products are not a bargain. (Reality is not a game, how can Elliott and Emma's trial guide rods be sold in every city, and they are so cheap.) ）

Lane and his entourage walked in this modern industrial city, and with Chase's experience, Yaniras and Lixia also had resistance to this kind of scene, and their faces were not much surprised, but they looked carefully to see what similarities and differences they had with Chase. (The last time Rien took Lixia home, he got off the train and went out of the city directly, not in the city)

"Hey, there's an escalator here, too?"

"The design of this guide gun is different from Chase."

"What is this? I've never seen anything before."

Walking around like this, the group walked up the stairs at the corner of the ground floor. Located between the first and second floors, there is a cave in the mezzanine, which not only houses a large number of miners' families, but also hides a guiding power and his workshop.

"Here it is, that's it." Rien stopped in front of an inconspicuous iron door with a worn-out wooden board hanging from it, the words on which he could faintly make out - "Repair Shop Jaccas"

"This is the workshop you're looking for?" Selesty wondered, no wonder she showed such an expression, it was really a far cry from the glamorous places before, let alone her previous research room.

"Masters will always have some quirks. In the early years, he was also a well-known technician, and his fame in the Empire was only after Dr. Schmidt and President Gunn. Dr. Schmidt is doing research at school, which is not easy to see; President Gunn traveled the world and could not find it. If you want to see the best craftsmanship of the Empire, you can only come here. ”

As he spoke, Lane raised his hand and knocked on the door:

"Excuse me."
