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

Elves love to name their cities after local plants, and this port city in the northeast corner of the Elven Tree Sea is named Reed City because of the large reeds on the seaside tidal flats outside the city.

The territory of the elves is limited to the outside world, bounded by the northern border of the elven tree sea - the peak mountain range that runs between the east and west, and the elven hinterland in the south is forbidden to enter without permission.

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

The communication between humans and elves is all concentrated in the open city to the north of each pass of the thirteen peaks and mountain ranges from east to west.

If humans want to enter the hinterland of the elves, they need to apply to the relevant departments in these cities and get approval before they can go with a permit.

Reed City is the closest port city to the south of the Peak Mountains, the easternmost and northernmost city in the elven hinterland, and an important port city and transportation hub.

Charles's ship flew the flags of the Temple of Life and the Elven Court, and from this moment on, Elizabeth was no longer the boss of a caravan, but the Holy Maiden of the Temple of Life and the princess of the Elven Court.

Seeing this, the ships on the sea near the port avoided one after another, allowing the leaders to go first.

The sailboat soon docked, and the human sailors on board could only move around the harbor area, and as they docked, they discussed which store to go to for a drink tonight.

At this time, Charles and the others had already changed into suitable clothes and waited for the gangway to be erected, and the local leadership team had already come to the port to greet Princess Elizabeth and her party as soon as possible.

The local leadership team arranged a simple welcome ceremony, which allowed the guards to clear a section of the dock, and then the team members welcomed Elizabeth home.

This is a basic operation once a year, and everyone will do their own things after completing the process.

In the carriage, Elizabeth looked at Diana, who was sitting next to Mira, with some surprise, who had not been as nervous as Mordred when she had met with the local leadership team earlier. Elizabeth asked her, "You don't seem to be nervous at all in front of them?"

Diana smiled, "I'm just stupid and bold. ”

She thought in her heart that according to the population of the area under her jurisdiction, the other party was a county and department-level senior cadre, so there was nothing to be nervous about.

Everyone wandered on the sea for several days, and although no one was seasick, the few people who had just disembarked felt very tired, and after entering the accommodation arranged by Reed City, they had eaten something and rested.

Early the next morning, the group arrived at the station, preparing to travel by rail to the capital of the Elven Court.

In Charles's hometown, the Twin Castles once built a light railway about 6 kilometers long, which was used by horse-drawn trains to pull people and goods from the city to the railway station north of the city.

Ten years later, the annual net profit of this horse-drawn railway exceeded the original investment in shares.

At that time, a freight train pulled by twelve horses had four carriages and could transport 0 tons of cargo at a time.

At that time, there was an attempt to build the same 120-kilometer railway, but unfortunately it was not approved.

What is even more regrettable is that the railway of the Twin Castles was demolished by the puppet Manchurians after thirty years of operation.

In this world without steam locomotives, the railway train uses 10 Dixinglong, the size of Liuzhou Wuling, in a ---1 formation as the locomotive, pulling a train composed of 10 carriages with wooden bodies made of steel bottoms.

This carriage is quite spacious, because the width of the body of the Earth Walking Dragon has reached about one meter six, and the gauge of this railway has reached one meter eight.

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

Charles looked curiously out the window of the car at the field, where fields and orchards receded, and from time to time he could see elf farmers with farm tools standing by the railroad waiting for the train to pass before crossing the railroad.

The section of the road that had just left Reed City was relatively straight, and the earth dragon pulling the cart had enough physical strength, and the current train was moving forward at a speed of a hundred times that of the falling cherry blossoms.

Mordred, who had just run a lap from the front to the back of the car, sat next to Charles excitedly and told Charles what he had seen.

At that moment, there was a horn from the front of the locomotive. In addition to the sound of the horn, the same sound was heard in the distance ahead.

After a while, the heavy footsteps of the Earth Walking Dragon grew louder and louder, and then another train staggered past them on another railroad next to them.

It was also a half-passenger and half-freight train, with several passenger cars hanging in front and wagons full of goods in the back. At the top of the car, you can also see several escorts sitting on the roof of the car chatting.

Smiling and listening to Mordred talk about how the animal trainer at the front of the car controlled the dragon to run, Charles always felt that something was missing from the car.

It wasn't until noon when the uniformed conductor brought lunch that he remembered that there was a lack of "beer, drinks, mineral water, peanuts, melon seeds, eight-treasure porridge, and legs to give way" on the train.

There may be other carriages, but they probably won't have them anymore.

I have to say that in the elven race, which has a much longer lifespan than humans, you can see a variety of popular clothes from different periods.

For example, the female conductors on the train are now wearing a white long-sleeved shirt with a red sleeveless vest and a knee-length skirt of the same color with white stockings.

"You come here with a rope loop, you pull it with your fingers, and the stopper comes out, and then you can put the drink in your mouth. ”

Charles, who was sitting opposite Mira and Diana, on both calves, pretended to be casual and taught Mordred how to drink the juice in the "One Pull Fill" made of bamboo tubes.

Just at lunchtime, the train left the main trunk and turned onto the branch line, then stopped at a small station.

Because it was not an emergency, Elizabeth and the others took a special carriage, not a special train. In the other carriages, there are passengers and cargo who get on and off at stations along the way.

At the rear of the train, the trucks pulled in a number of light cranes, which were secured and loaded and unloaded immediately.

While waiting for the restart, Charles got off the train and ran to the platform to buy a few braised eggs and braised chicken legs, as well as a basket of fruit.

"Isn't there enough for lunch?" said Elizabeth, giving Charles an angry look.

"Feed Mordred. Charles defended his feelings.
