The brownish-red base extends the vase-like feet at the corners, and on the upper right is a square coal burning device, with a brilliant gold cylinder embedded in the top, and a tonal flywheel attached to the connecting rod and crankshaft.

The delicate and beautiful model caught Donald's eye, and Finger crouched against the window, tugging at it with his front paws, trying to get a look.

"How much does this cost?"

Inside the train station's shop, Donald asked, holding a model of a steam engine

"What a good eye for you, it's new in the store for 6p. ”

The young man behind the counter put down the brush in his hand and said with a smile,

"In fact, we have some promotions in the store right now, and if you spend 1 gold pound, we'll also get an extra signed photo of Mr. Carvert Sloner and a mechanical pen. ”

"Mechanical pen?"

Donald had heard of quills and fountain pens, but he had never seen this so-called mechanical pen, so he couldn't help but ask.

"That's it, the commemorative model of the fair that was released in the city of Ense this year, but you can't usually see it. ”

Stoop down and take out a small gift box wrapped in a ribbon tie into a bow from the drawer under the window, open it and remove the contents.

From the outside, it looks like an ordinary fountain pen, and the waiter pinched the small ring in the middle and turned it, and after a slight click, the upper part suddenly cracked, and the surface shrank to the sides while revealing the carving underneath—a small robot.

"It is said that the engraving of mechanical pens sold in different places is different, but there are many people who are trying to collect a full set of commemorative pens. ”

"That's right...... Charis, why don't you buy a model and collect it too?"

Donald turned his head to look at Charis, who was carrying a bag outside the store and constantly pulling snacks out of the store.

"Ten minutes before the train departs, don't you still have to buy a newspaper?"

Charis, who was obviously not very interested in some mechanical creations, glanced at what was in Donald's hand and spoke.

After nearly half a month of traveling, their current location is only two stops away from the city of Enser, and if nothing else, they can reach the city of Ense before dusk, and Charis can't help but feel a little anxious.

There is only one week left until the start of the Ense Fair.

He shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, put down a gold pound in the window, took the model and the mechanical pen away, and picked up Finger and walked out the door with the waiter's smile in thanks.

Honk~~~

The whistle of the steam train came at this time, and Donald's eyes drifted in the direction of the platform, and the environment in front of him had changed greatly compared to the city he passed through half a month ago.

As the industrial center of the entire Ryan Empire, the city of Ense has no less influence on the surrounding areas than the industrial cities that the empire focuses on.

Take, for example, the train station in front of you.

The store behind Donald sells mechanical models and small items that are rarely seen in other regions, and the exterior façade decoration is no longer the usual wooden structure of the past, and the light mounted on the outside can be turned on and off at any time and a mechanical panel that can be checked by the push of a button to look up the type and price of goods is enough to show that the mechanical technology brought by the Industrial Revolution is in a period of vigorous development in these regions.

What really caught Donald's attention was the mechanical beasts that appeared next to some brightly dressed men and women, such as the golden mechanical rabbit in the arms of a lady not far in front of him.

It is neither a curiosity nor some kind of offensive armed machine.

But that's why it caught Donald's attention.

As we all know, it is an irrefutable fact that a large part of the development of science and technology actually stems from the needs of human struggle, but if you want to see the level of industrial development of a city, you must judge it from the popularity of these technologies among the people.

Can Donald make this mechanical rabbit in Renus?

Of course, there is no doubt that not only can it be built, but it is easy to do, and if he wants to, Victor's team can get it for him in one night.

But the truth is that there is no such mechanical rabbit on the market.

The reason for this is simple: Victor and his team were able to build the mechanical rabbit thanks to Donald, a private laboratory owned by the mayor of Sewvett Talos, and Reynas today does not have a sufficiently mature and sophisticated industrial production line and workers to do so.

Unless Victor's group of scientists and students stop doing research, it will not be possible to produce them in large quantities.

However, in the city's train station, which is still some distance from the city of Enser, Donald saw a lot of mechanical pets along the way, and the mechanical rabbit was a relatively ordinary type.

Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that the Enser Fair is about to begin, and the presence of people from all over the world will come here, but on the other hand, Donald did not see any surprise or surprise in the ordinary people around him, which proved that they were used to this kind of scene.

"I'm starting to wonder what kind of city Ense is. ”

Standing in front of a newsstand on the side of the road, Donald's fingers slid from newspaper to newspaper, not just today, he was going to buy the last month's worth of newspapers!

"The Industrial Revolution, the Technological Revolution, and all these strange dresses...... Inventors, what a bunch of people who don't know what to be in awe. ”

Since leaving Rock Castle, Charis seems to have returned to her original personality in Renus, with less grace and more cheerfulness.

Donald didn't say anything about it on the surface, but he was somewhat happy in his heart.

After all, traveling with a noble lady who always wears a calm and cold mask on her face is not as comfortable as traveling with a lively and cheerful girl.

The only problem is that Xia Ruisi in this state also has some hobbies compared to before.

It's like the sweet bag in my hand now, and the uncontrollable nagging or broken mouth.

Like most religious people, she did not like the Industrial Revolution, not that she denied the highly practical technology, but that many people saw only profit in the eyes of the Industrial Revolution, and that the reverence for the gods and the goodness of their hearts were no longer pure.

"Times have changed, human beings cannot stay in the primitive state forever, progress and even evolution are inevitable developments. ”

Putting most of the newspapers into the space ring, leaving only a recent one, Donald walked over to a nearby waiting bench and took his seat.

"Inevitable development...... Is it a prerequisite to abandon the gods?"

Charis was always very aggressive when it came to the gods, and Donald didn't want to argue with her about it, flipping through the newspaper while thinking about how to change the subject.

Soon he had a great topic in mind.

"As we arrive in Enser, I think it's time to talk about what we're going to do, our goals are the same, and my status may be able to provide a lot of convenience in the secular city of Enser. ”

Another alliance outside the Rock Castle took the cooperation between the two to another level, and because of this, Donald bluntly raised his own questions,

"I hope that by arriving in Enser, I will have a detailed understanding of what is going to happen in the city of Enser, and at least I can start thinking about my next steps. ”

"I don't really know much information, in fact, I hear it from other people...... I mean the message coming out of our circle of people. ”

At the mention of Enser, Charis's expression was a little hesitant, and she frowned and thought for a while before continuing,

"God-making plan!"
