Looking out the window at the snowy world, Rafa began to worry about the caravan on the road, if the heavy snow blocked the road, the caravan might have to be delayed for a long time.

"Your Highness, things have been loaded into the carriage. Audrey walked into the room, bowing slightly.

"Okay, let the rail bearer go first. ”

"Yes. ”

Exhaling a white breath, Rafa turned his head to Felicille, who was reading by the fireplace, "Aren't you going to take a look?"

"Let's go. ”

Felihill closed the page with great pleasure and stood up, and the maids hurriedly clothed her with a pale blue drake.

When the two walked out of the city lord's mansion side by side, the workers who had been sent to transport the rails due to the mine halt today had already disappeared in the wind and snow.

Since the caravan left with almost most of the wagons, the wagons that can be used today are used in the mines to transport ore into the city, but after the steam engine and some of the steel rails were loaded onto the wagons, many of the rails could not be put down, so they had to be carried by manpower.

Due to the heavy weight of the things to be carried, and the slippery ground, the number of people who had arranged the transportation today was very large, like a caravan going out, and even the witches wanted to see the excitement, except for Elle and Hedda with cloaks covering their faces, the other witches followed behind with chatter.

In order to show that there is no barrier between the host and the hostess, Rafa personally holds an umbrella for Felihill, who walks side by side.

"Aren't you cold?" Philicille glanced at Rafa, who was wearing only two regular clothes.

"It's not cold. Rafa replied with a smile, since Xingyin had cultivated to the third layer, his own spiritual power was enough to fight the cold.

"It seems that your secret is beyond my knowledge. Felihill reached out of her umbrella and caught a snowflake.

"Fili, your secret should be amazing enough. ”

Felihill frowned and stopped answering, ending the topic.

In a short time, the huge convoy divided into two routes, transporting the steam engine and some of the railroad tracks to the iron mine, while Rafa and his party went to the coal mine first.

"After the rails were sent into the hole, everybody stayed where they were. With that, the workers began to carefully carry the rails that it took several people to lift into the mine.

After that, Rafa only took Felihill, Lilith and Heddah into the mine, in fact, the witches wanted to go in and see, but with so many women entering, it was inevitable that some people would think of witches, so they could only let the hostess and her "two maids" follow in.

Originally, Rafa didn't plan to take Felihill in, but she strongly wanted to go in and have a look, so there was no way, and in the amazed eyes of everyone, the group of four walked into the mine.

When you enter the mine, you will see a faint fluorescent "glowstone" connected to the depths of the darkness, which is a very common stone that can emit a faint light that is not weak, and is the main means of lighting the mine.

Walking through the rugged mines, the black coal dust scattered on the ground contrasted strongly with Felihill's clean dress, but strangely, she seemed to have a unique walking skill, and although everyone walked lightly down, she had no dust on her body.

This reminded Rafa of the phrase "out of the mud without staining".

What if you smeared a handful of black coals on her face?

Somehow, Rafa had a strange thought, imagining Felihill's face covered in soot.

"Forget it...... I don't want to see her angry yet......."

Felihill seemed to sense something, and stared sideways at him.

"Lilith, is it okay here?"

Halfway up the deep tunnel, Rafa stopped first, as he expected, although the steam engine greatly saved manpower, but the mine tunnel has been rubbed by the iron frame, and he has already heard Andrew report the accident of the iron frame overturning, so the efficiency will be much higher by replacing the iron frame that can only rub on the ground with a small iron car.

"Hmm...... Almost. Lilith seemed to be unable to see under the dim glowstone, but fortunately Heddah threw a bright white fireball that lit up the entire mine.

"Let's get started, I got what I told you before, right?"

"Understand, it's just to cut the ground into a grid of spaces, right?"

"Be sure that the distance is the same, and don't make a mistake. ”

Because of Lilith's help, and the fact that the ground inside the mine was relatively hard, Rafa abandoned the sleepers and directly excavated the sleepers in the mine, saving a lot of effort.

In the past, he would never have dared to do this, because if he was not careful, he would be said to be "with the help of a witch", which would cause great trouble, but after several miraculous displays, he believed that this time there should be no problem.

Under Lilith's magic, this long cavern is like a soft and transparent tissue paper, countless stone chips are easily peeled away like foam, and what remains in place is a neat "sleeper".

He also asked Elle in detail about the magic of the witches, and she replied that the witches can only use the magic they have when they awakened, and although they can do some things that seem to be done by other witches through practice, the essence is still the magic that they have some limitations.

Therefore, they have no way to learn the magic of other witches, so they can only continue to improve their own magic to reach new levels.

This shattered Rafa's idea of having countless fire witches, so he had to cherish every witch in front of him.

As Lilith's fingers twitched like keys, a neat railroad blank with a slight depression appeared.

"Alright, I'll leave the rest to them. ”

The group left the mine, and Rafa began to explain what was going on.

Rafa put it very simply, it is to move a long strip of iron into a groove and fix it with parts.

Knowing that it would be easier to open a mine, the workers rushed in and got to work, and Rafa himself entered the mine to prevent accidents.

Due to the large number of workers, the progress was very fast, and in a short time, the rails were connected and the parts that fixed the rails were almost completed.

After starting the steam engine to pull the original broken iron frame out of the mine, Rafa ordered the small iron carts with iron wheels to be placed on the rails, and then the four or five iron carts were connected together with chains.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid only a genius like you can come up with such an idea!" Andro, who was still unknown at first, saw four or five small iron cars connected together, and immediately understood everything, the steam engine could only pull a basket of up to two frames of coal every time it started, but now, not only are the small iron cars larger than the original iron frames, but there are also four or five more at once, which can be regarded as a qualitative improvement.

"Let's experiment with it, go in and fill the mine and see if we can pull it. ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The miners happily climbed onto the cart, released the hinges, and slowly slid down the cart into the mine.

After a while, just when someone was already waiting impatiently, the peculiar knocking sound of the mine was heard, and the young man in charge of controlling the steam engine immediately started the steam engine according to the process that Rafa had already arranged.

With a strange cry from the big guy, the winch quickly turned.

"It's a little faster than before, and it looks like I'm underestimating friction. ”

As the winch was pulled to the end, the trolley full of swarthy coal was easily pulled out of the hole, which immediately caused everyone to exclaim.

Many people are once again feeling the power of steel and machinery.

After telling Andro to remember to maintain the rails, the group went to the iron mine again.

The workers of this mine have long been envious of the steam engine in the coal mine next door, and now that the steam engine has come, everyone is very excited.

Satisfied with the rudiments of the future railroad, Felihill took the witches back, leaving only Lilith and the curious Heda.

After that, the old trick was repeated, but the ground of this mine was a little soft, and some places were sunken after excavation, so I could only find a few pieces of wood and simply trim them to use.

It took a whole day to lay the rails, and it wasn't until the evening when several small iron carts burst out of the cavern laden with iron ore, and Lilith was already too tired to stand on her feet.

"What a strange lord you are. On the way back, Hedda said to Rafa as she helped Lilith.

"Hah, that's what everyone who came to Icefield said. ”

After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Rafa immediately arranged the rest of the work and continued to cast the steel rails, he estimated that the witches had already gained experience, and the progress would be faster, so the planned railway connecting the mine to Icefield City should be completed soon.
