"Man, you must be kidding, bears are harder to deal with than wild boars!"

"Young man, you don't understand this, a bear is indeed a little more powerful than a wild boar, otherwise the bounty will not be higher than two gold tales, but you must know that wild boars are sent out in groups, bears usually go alone, think about it, is it easier to deal with a group of wild boars with a family with a mouth, or is it easier to deal with a lone bear?"

"I see...... But why don't we go to Valley Village? It is the largest village in the vicinity, and there are bears and wild boars in the area, and it is said that there are goblins and ogres in the swamp, so there should be more opportunities to make a fortune. ”

"Hehe, brother, you think too much, Renjia Valley Village has been formed into a commune with several surrounding small villages, the commune itself has militia arming, there are elite lieutenants selected by the Wehrmacht to serve as village magistrates and militia instructors, as well as the priest Sindra and druids stationed in the capital, there is no need to offer a bounty to recruit monster hunters, with their own militia armament, they can clean up the beasts and monsters that have ruined the farmland, how can we have a chance."

The hunters chatted and walked, and then they got into a small cabin next to the platform. This shabby-looking wooden house is the ticket station, where a dwarf conductor in a small uniform sits behind the window and is busy, and sometimes a first-time traveler on this train leans on the window and asks:

"How much is a ticket to Wufeng Township?"

"A silver thaler." It has only been two months since the completion of this railway branch line, and the dwarf conductor has answered a similar question no less than a thousand times, and he hastened to say with some impatience, "As long as you get on this train, whether you get off the train in Wufeng Township, Huyang Village, or Valley Commune, the fare will all be one silver taler." ”

"Okay, please give me two tickets." A hand reached through the window, dropped two silver coins, took two tickets from the conductor's hand and quickly retracted them.

"May I ask Mr. conductor, how long does it take to get from here to Valle Village by train?"

Someone outside the window asked a question that made the conductor's ears callous, but the questioner's voice was soft and pleasant, and he also used the honorific "sir", which was very useful to the small conductor. Looking up, there was a slim beautiful girl standing outside the window, dressed in a green robe inlaid with a circle of golden wheat ears emblem, her long black and bright hair contrasted with her milky white and delicate skin, and her eyes showed the colors of black orchid and bright green respectively, and the subtle color difference created an indescribable exotic style.

Seeing this charismatic lady druid, the dwarf conductor's headache and irritability caused by the hangover suddenly disappeared, and Xiaoyuan's face was full of smiles: "Beautiful lady, are you going to Valley Village?" It was the terminus of the railway line, passing through two stations on the way, Huyang Village and Wufeng Township, departing at 8 o'clock in the morning and arriving at Gudi Village at about 5 o'clock in the afternoon. ”

"Thank you for your answer, please give me three tickets." Tonya smiled slightly, handed out three silver coins, took the ticket and turned around and walked to the platform, still muttering in her heart: "From the big rabbit's nest town to the valley village is a maximum of two hundred miles, why does the train take eight or nine hours?" The speed of the car is a little too slow. ”

At this time, the platform rings a bell to remind passengers that the train is about to arrive. Tonya turned to look in the direction of the train entering the station, and saw a cloud of smoke rising from a distance, but instead of hearing the whistle that the locomotive should have sounded when it entered the station, it was replaced by a loud horn, these unusual signs deepened her doubts, and she hurriedly walked to the place where Roland and Lyudmila were waiting.

Doodoooooo –

The sound of a loud horn came from far and near, and four behemoths lined up on either side of the tracks, dragging eight trains with magically strengthened reins and rushing into the platform with neat steps.

Doodoooooo –

A dwarf in the train conductor's uniform stood on the back of the giant beast, holding his head high and blowing the horns with additional "amplification", and the high-pitched sound waves reached the ears of the giant beasts, and they all slowed down obediently.

The dwarf conductor pulled out the red flag from his waist and turned around to wave it vigorously. The attendants on each train were looking out of the window, and when they saw the flag made by the conductor, they quickly retracted and pulled down the brake lever, and the wheels rubbed against the rails to make a long and piercing noise, and slowly stopped in front of the platform.

The conductor nodded in satisfaction and climbed off the beast's back. The train will stop at the platform for 20 minutes, enough for him to pee and have breakfast. The four giant beasts responsible for dragging the train can also take a break, leisurely stretching their necks to nibble on the tenacious weeds that grow in the crevices of the rubble by the roadside.

I said...... This is the 'train' to the village of the Valley? In front of the platform, Lyudmila looked at the train slowly entering the station in amazement, and the thousand words in her heart boiled down to one sentence - are you kidding me?!

"There's rails and a long string of cars connected together, that's a train." Roland replied calmly.

"A train without a magic locomotive can be considered a train?" The female ranger asked unconvinced.

"There is no law that says that trains must be pulled by magic locomotives, and since we have built the railroad and we don't have enough locomotives to provide power, we have to think of other ways to pull the carriages." Roland replied calmly.

Lyudmila thought about it carefully and had to agree with Roland's statement. The construction of railways in the Far East is progressing rapidly, but the Magic Locomotive Factory has not yet been able to come up with mature products, and the dilemma of a serious shortage of locomotives will continue for at least two to three years. It is true that it is not efficient to haul trains with animal power, but at least it is better to make use of the railroads that have already been built and provide unsatisfactory transportation services for passengers and goods along the railways than to leave the railways idle and grow grass.

"Well, I'll admit it's not a bad idea at first glance." Lyudmila looked around, observing the demeanor and behavior of the other passengers on the platform, and there were some people like her who were surprised that the Lothmon pulled the train, and they were all adventurers from other places, and the locals were calm, as if the "train" was supposed to be like this.

"These gnomes have never seen a magic train before, and they only think of it as a large carriage running along the railway, and they would be shocked to know that a real train can go fast without being pulled by livestock!" Seeing the gnomes rushing to the car door, Lyudmila couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to this group of hillbillies who had never seen the world.

"When the magic locomotive completely eliminates the train beast, I'm afraid that not only these gnomes in Big Rabbit's Nest Town, but most residents in the Far East will have to update their old concept of the word 'train'." Roland replied softly.
