Trains are one of the outstanding industrial products of the past 100 years, there was no railway network before, and most of the exchanges and trade between various places were completed by horse-drawn carriages. Until one day in the house of a small landlord, the servant did not pay attention when the water was boiling, and the pressure of the steam bounced out the plug of the spout, and impartially bounced to the head of the little master who was playing at home; although the little master had a big bag on his head, as if it had smashed out his inspiration and wisdom, he suddenly thought that the pressure of steam was so strong, if it was installed in the carriage of a carriage, could it replace a horse? So the first steam locomotive was born.

When he grew up, under his leadership, the steam locomotive was constantly improved and turned into a fuel locomotive, and the family business became more and more prosperous, because of his outstanding contribution to the trade exchanges in various places, he was appreciated by the king, and this ordinary landlord family became a famous family.

And that family did not belong to the kingdom of Scania, not even on the continent of Chia, but in the distant continent of Youlan. After Duke Robert was promoted to the throne by Rodwell VII in the kingdom, he knew the important position of industry in the development of the kingdom, so he led a team of people to cross the ocean to the Youlan continent to learn the fuel locomotive technology there, and brought it back to the kingdom, so as to have today's mature railway network.

At this moment, as Bell and the others expected, the other students also agreed with them and went to the nearest train station to the academy. The train station, which is crowded on weekdays, is now crowded and lively. But instead of waiting for the train to leave, something happened that they didn't expect.

"Usually ghosts don't want to come here, but today's train tickets are all sold out?"

"I saw that there were a lot of empty seats on the train, when we were all blind?!"

"Lao Tzu smashed your station!"

It turned out that almost all the students chose the train to go to the Baicao Forest, but they didn't expect to be told that the tickets had all been sold out, and everyone was dumbfounded, and it happened that the train stopped at this time, but found that there were still many vacant seats on the car, which angered everyone, so they shouted loudly at the entrance of the station, which was also mixed with some other civilians, these people are usually honest, and when they encounter this kind of thing, they can only swallow their anger and eat the closed door with peace of mind, but now there are all kinds of skilled quasi-knights present, so they seized the opportunity to fan the flames there, pointing fingers, and the unlucky conductor had to explain patiently on the side。

Bell didn't get involved in the arguments, nor did he bother to participate in the meaningless noise, but he didn't sit idly by and watch the farce, but looked for something.

"Did you notice? It doesn't seem like all the students came to the station. Bell observed for a moment and said to his teammates.

"Oh, that's not surprising, isn't there any other way to get to the Hundred Grass Forest!!" Galey replied, turning his head, only to be hit on the head by a flying straw hat.

"You mean, Fred and their group?" said Amu, who was also uninvolved in the argument, and in fact, Garley was the only one in Bell's group, screaming angrily.

"What's so strange that the lewd crossbowman isn't here, let's find another way to get out now!" a wizard's hat hovered in Sophia's hand, spinning slowly, as if to tell how bored its master was at the moment.

"Wait!" Dona whispered suddenly, "I seem to see Fred there...... In the waiting room!"

"Huh?" the five Bell looked towards the waiting room, only to see Fred showing half of his head and secretly looking out of the window, only to meet five curious eyes, and quickly lowered his head in shame.

"What kind of despicable tactics did this guy use?" said Galley, who was about to rush to the waiting room, but was stopped by Bell.

"Don't go over!" I saw Bell smile and said, "We'll go to him later, look at his sneaky appearance, there must be some special way not to let others know!"

At this moment, two large men came out of the station, wearing gray uniforms, with a bronze locomotive badge on their chests, but with a very thin sword hanging from their waists, which did not match their figures.

"Railway Guard!" someone shouted, and the conductor almost collapsed and sat on the ground as if he had seen a savior, and the noisy environment around him gradually quieted down.

"Everyone!" one of them looked around at everyone and said slowly, "I'm sorry, this train has been ordered by the high-level of the kingdom to transport important items, and it will no longer accept passengers, please choose another way!"

"Hmph, I just said that the tickets have been sold out, and now I have to deliver important things, which big ...... is this" An ordinary man couldn't help but speak, but he stopped before he could finish speaking, because he only felt that another guard had already arrived in front of him.

"Are you questioning my claims?" said the guard, leaning over and pressing his face to his nose.

"I... I..."The man "me" for a long time, seeing that the would-be knights behind him did not react at all, he couldn't help but go down, quietly hid back in the crowd, and stopped squeaking.

It's no wonder that those students, although the railway guards are the law enforcers who maintain the order of the train, but they belong to the Royal Army Army, these law enforcers are also considered soldiers, in such an era, no one wants to offend the military, the students have long understood this, so they are silent.

"Thank you for your cooperation!" the guard looked at the students, and although his tone was calm, his eyes revealed unquestionable arrogance, "If there is something wrong with this transportation mission, please bring the relevant documents to ask for compensation." ”

When everyone heard this, they scolded in their hearts, looking for your military to claim compensation, it is better to find a pit and jump in!

"Have you seen enough, let's go!" Bono said to his team with a blank face, but he didn't say anything at the moment when he was usually reckless, obviously shocked by the escort.

"Dean, they may have known everything that happened here," Roy Vera from the Beast Taming Department touched her white-striped tiger, thought for a moment and said to the team members, "Maybe they were also involved, so they let us go to the Hundred Grass Forest!"

"It seems that there is only other way to go to the Hundred Grass Forest, what a trouble!" said Galle, playing with his short knife, and also planned to turn away with his teammates.

"Everyone, I don't think there's any need to waste time here, it's only three days, let's find another way to go as soon as possible!" Tuoyu spoke again, he seemed to be more prestigious among the students, so that everyone saw that there was really no way, and when they looked back, they looked back and saw that the two guards were blocked at the entrance of the station like door gods, and the conductors also straightened their backs, although they were a little unwilling, but they muttered a few times and left.

The two guards watched the crowd leave, but there was a hint of murder between their eyebrows, because after everyone left, five people appeared from the corner and walked towards them, it was Bell and his party.

"Hello, big brothers, you've worked hard!" Bell said to the escort with a hippie smile, but was rewarded with a gentle "go".

"No, I'm just here to kindly remind you," Bell didn't care, gesturing to the waiting room, and continued, "Someone I know has slipped in!"

The two guards looked at each other, and then said, "It's none of your business, you can take another step forward and try?"

"Okay!" Bell stopped, shrugged helplessly, and suddenly said loudly: "In that case, then I have to catch up with the students who left before and tell me what I saw, as for whether the next round will focus on dealing with ......"

"Haha, Brother Bell, it's you!" Before he finished speaking, Fred walked out with a big smile on his face, "Yo, Sister Dona, Sister Sophia, I seem to smell anxiety, helping beautiful ladies is my life's pursuit!"

The escort was just about to make a move, when they saw Fred come out, and they stood aside and watched coldly.

"Alright, let's get on the train!" Sophia didn't talk nonsense to him at all, and walked towards the station with a big grin.

"Wait!" said Fred, grimacing, "but alas...... It's a pity to carry up to two more passengers, or two ladies......"

"Then don't bother!" Bell said as he pulled Sophia over him, "but the next time we meet, everyone will know how you made it through the first round, and they'll all be sure to come and ask you!"

"Wait!" Fred hurriedly stopped, and said helplessly, "Just kidding, it's just a joke! Everyone come up, but don't think that I have a privilege, I am also blessed by Trump to have this treatment!"

"Oh, Trump, that unlearned fellow, gave me a sword last time!" said Garay.

"Ahem, don't mention anything inconsequential now. Fred glanced at the escort and said, "Although he is not as strong as you, but the family power is very fearful, that is the big nobleman in charge of the kingdom's transportation industry, the Mister family, the kingdom's railway is an important business of that family, that Marquis Mister, that is, his father, was one of the important ministers who followed Duke Robert to the Youlan Continent together!"

"Eh, great nobleman, there are people of such status in the academy!" Dona was surprised.

"It turns out that Mister Trump really has a connection to the Misters! I thought the academy was all hearsay!" Amu said.

"I can't see that guy has such a background!" said Garay, who was also a little surprised.

"So, you're the one with the privilege?" said Bell to Trump as he walked out.

"If you're lucky, if Fred hadn't been seen by you, I wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to you!" Trump said to the convoy, "It's okay here, let them get on the bus!" After saying that, ignoring everyone's reactions, he went back to the waiting room on his own.

"Che, should the nobles have such arrogance?" said Gary.

"Haha, Brother Garay, don't be angry, just catch this train and it's already good!" Bell patted Gary on the shoulder.

"Yes, yes, Brother Bell understands, let's get in the car!

So, under Trump's privileged care, everyone got on the train, and the farce finally subsided. As the train left the station, a blurry image suddenly appeared in the station, and a young man slowly appeared, and he appeared in the hall of the station out of thin air. This man was none other than one of the four examiners in the academy, Frasio. He seemed to be paying attention to everyone's every move from the beginning, until the train completely disappeared from view, and the calm water surface of Fracio's entire figure suddenly rippled, gradually blurred, until it disappeared.

The Dragon Train is an oil-powered locomotive that runs on the tracks every day, and it is also one of the industrial achievements introduced by Duke Robert from the Youlan Continent. The train has a total of 16 carriages, the first three of which are custom-made for high-ranking officials and nobles. The walls and floors of the carriage are almost entirely made of fine walnut wood with brass lamps, the seats are made of large and soft cowhide sofa chairs, as if you can fall asleep as soon as you sit on them, the carriage is equipped with an oil-fired heater to cope with the cold terrain that the train will pass through, and the curtains hand-cut by the famous fabric artist of the kingdom can be lifted to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the different regions outside the window.

"Aristocracy is different! look, it's a luxurious bedroom!" Fred sighed from time to time, looking around.

"Eh, this chair is about the same as my bed!" Bell jumped into the sofa chair with a "poof" as his eyes lit up.

Everywhere they touched, Trump looked at the crowd, crossed his legs, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, showing what a nobleman should look like.

"Trump, is it true or false that the Guards are transporting items?" said Garay, who suddenly thought of the two Guards, and asked Trump.

"Of course it's true!" Trump took a sip of red wine and pointed ahead, "There is indeed such a transportation mission, just in the first carriage, and the last two special carriages are not allowed to have ordinary passengers, but if we are the Mister family, of course we can't be considered ordinary passengers!" Speaking of Trump's family, he inevitably became proud, and that pride was unique to wealthy families, exuding from the inside out.

"Your family is so famous, and it is said that your father is still a popular man in the eyes of Duke Robert, so why should you be an insignificant knight?" asked Dona.

"You don't think that you can sit back and relax. Although I can live a luxurious life, in our eyes, these are nothing, and the future leadership of the family is the most important thing. But it's a pity that my father has always valued my eldest brother......" Speaking of eldest brother, Trump was a little lonely and indignant in his eyes. But he immediately recovered, "Don't be nosy, don't think that I helped you this time, just think that we are friends, and I will not show mercy in the next round of testing!"

"I hope you'll do your best!" said Gareha, not paying attention to it.

"Alright, let's not talk about other people's family affairs, it's still a long time, let's pay attention to the qualification test!" said Alice, who was also from the magic department in Fred's group.

"Yes, I'm going to the Hundred Grass Forest this time, Amu, you seem to know a lot about it, do you know anything special there?" Bell asked, then remembered something, and added, "Fred helped us, let's talk about them together!"

"Well, I don't know exactly why I was testing there, I'm just scratching the surface. "I grew up in a rural village near River City, and my family ran a ranch, which is why I aspired to become an animal trainer. You know, it's not easy to run a ranch, and those animals get sick all the time, and if they die, we will lose a lot. Although our village is relatively remote, almost every family sometimes knows a little bit of medicine in order to treat animals, and my father is one of them, so he collects some herbs from the Baicao Forest every year. ”

"If that's the case, let's try to gather herbs?" asked Garret.

"That's not necessarily, because my father said that that area is formed by the accumulation of history and belongs to the primeval forest, so there are a lot of magical beasts in it, and the forest roads are also complicated, and if you are not careful, you will get lost. And I heard there's a forbidden area over there!"

"Forbidden area?" the group asked.

"Many years ago, there was an expedition that came inside, and then it couldn't be contacted, and the royal family sent a search and rescue team, and two days later, the search and rescue team also disappeared, so it was ...... over there," Amu said.

Later, because several of the members of the expedition were senior scientists of the royal family, the military paid attention to it and sent troops to isolate the area. Fred added.

"There are also rumors that they can't enter the Hundred Grass Forest at a certain time, and those two teams have violated this rule, so they are missing. Amu said.

What a strange place!, everyone thought to themselves.

"But when I was a child, I secretly went to that area of the so-called forbidden area with my father, but I was attacked by a monster and almost died. Thankfully, it was Kiki who saved me. Amu gently touched the squirrel's head, "That day, my father was unusual, not only did he not care about my injury, but as soon as he saw me, he taught me a serious lecture and ordered me not to go back to that area in the future." ”

"So dangerous? It seems that the knight's qualification test is indeed as rumored. Donna said, sticking out her tongue.

"It's nothing compared to a full-fledged knighthood!" Trump didn't really care.

But when he said this, everyone fell silent when they thought of the difficult journey that was coming.

Suddenly, there was a "boom", and the train shook violently, and everyone was caught off guard and almost fell to the ground.

"What's going on?" the crowd was taken aback.

I saw that Fred, Garay, and Bell reacted the most quickly, Fred's arm flipped over, and a crossbow appeared in an instant, Garay's sword hilt was already in his hand, Bell's fists were wrapped around the qigong bullet to be fired, and the three of them immediately rushed towards the carriage where the loud noise occurred.

I saw a big hole open in the roof of the first carriage, and there were four people standing on the roof, one of them was fat, with a full beard, grinning: "Haha! The crimson star is Lao Tzu!"
