Chapter 4 Ride

Mu Yun told Qin Yue the knowledge of spiritual spells for a whole night, and also taught several techniques that were relatively easy to master, so that Qin Yue could slowly explore by himself, spiritual spells were a special type of spells, which were very different from the traditional Five Elements spells. Qin Yue is very diligent, before she met Mu Yun, she practiced the basic knowledge of spells very solidly, and during the time she studied with Mu Yun, it was even more difficult to move forward day by day, so the speed of acceptance was very fast, coupled with the excellent relationship of spiritual energy talent, I believe that there will be preliminary results soon.

The next day, it was time to go.

Qin Yue exchanged all the cash for gold coins, 4,000 gold coins, weighing a full 20 kilograms, and it would definitely not fit in a carry-on money bag. She bought a hand-held cash box, three feet wide and two feet long, which could hold 5,000 coins, the box was a mechanical cipher structure, made of monolithic black iron, wrapped in a layer of iron on the outside, and a simple weapon on the outside. The hardness of the dark iron is very high, and it is impossible to cut it through unless it is a strong person above the Great Martial Master, or a divine blade.

Mu Yun and Qin Yue were wearing brand-new short robes, wearing a tall warlock hat and a brand-new warlock mirror, dressed as young warlocks who were traveling.

Ying'er is wearing a green robe, delicate and beautiful, cute, and complete with schoolbags, medicine pockets, and talisman pockets.

It's like a young warlock couple on a trip and an accompanying schoolboy.

Qin Yue walked over with the cash box and said: "This trip is 430 kilometers in the medicine city, passing through complex canyons and mountains, ordinary transportation is useless, we must take the train!"

Mu Ying'er showed a happy and unexpected expression, although she had seen the train from afar, but the huge size of the train, the unimaginable speed, deeply shocked Ying'er, she didn't think that she would be able to experience the feeling of riding the train so soon!

"Looking forward to it?"

"Yes!"

Qin Yue handed over the cash box to Ghost Mian to carry it, took Ying'er and said, "The formalities are all done, let's go." ”

The trio left the city and arrived at Baicheng Station.

Baicheng Station was like a steel fortress, and from it there was a loud rumbling sound, and the huge metal pipes with a diameter of one person were all around, and large puffs of black smoke were spewed out of the chimney during the operation of the machinery. The station is the main artery of a city, responsible for transporting fresh blood, so it is very important to the development of a city, and each station must be heavily guarded.

Mu Yun arrived at the station by car, first through three strong walls full of muskets, after a series of inspections, through various procedures and documents, and finally officially entered the station.

Trains are not accessible to ordinary people, not only because they are extremely expensive, but more importantly, because they do not accept people from unknown sources. All passengers who board the train must be guaranteed by a large force in the White City, and the force that provides the guarantee is responsible for the guarantee, and if this person makes a move or causes trouble on the train, this force will be punished with the most severe punishment in the Silver Snow Domain.

"There are so many people here!"

Mu Yinger walked to the bus shelter, a metal roof, standing overhead, 300 meters long, about 80 meters wide, covered with metal pipes, the air was filled with the smell of engine oil. In the shelter, there are two platforms in total, each in different directions.

Rows of heavily armed black-armored soldiers, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, are meticulously maintaining order.

Mu Ying'er was holding a bag of snacks and was looking around curiously: "Where is the car?"

"There are two trains a day in Baicheng, and the time is almost up!"

After about half an hour, the ground shook, and a beastly roar could be heard from afar.

Mu Ying'er saw an extremely shocking scene, a jet-black behemoth, three people high, rumbling towards it from far ahead.

It's a train!

The first time I took a closer look at this behemoth, it was hundreds of meters long and very large, and when it was firmly parked on the platform, the door of the carriage opened, and the people on the platform used it like a tide.

Mu Yun had the city lord's personal order, so he got into the car smoothly with the ghost face.

Inside, the air circulation is poor, and there is some dreary, but overall it is not crowded. There were more than a dozen carriages, two-thirds of which were cargo holds, and only one-third were for people.

The train stopped at Baicheng Station for a full hour, and when the boxes of goods were loaded and unloaded, it restarted and headed south.

Inside the carriage, the windows are not large, the glass is thick and heavy, and dense air holes are chiseled.

"We're leaving!"

Ying'er was excited and looked around curiously.

Each carriage has a guardhouse, the corridor of the carriage is guarded by soldiers, and the passengers have seats, and judging from the dress, they are generally dominated by mercenaries, merchants, and warlocks. Basically, he is dressed luxuriously, not an ordinary person.

The horn of the carriage is playing the rules of riding, there are snacks and magazines for free, but you are not allowed to leave your seat without permission if you sit down, even if you go to the toilet, you need to apply to the guards, and you can only go after getting approval, you can't make loud noises, you can't make suspicious movements, and you don't make noise with each other, and the guards are always paying close attention.

Mu Ying'er's mood has not been diminished by many restrictions, and she has not stopped since the moment she got in the car, looking around, very curious. After the train starts, it accelerates from slow to fast, and during operation, the metal rubs and collides, causing a rumbling sound.

The blue white clouds, the grass poured thousands of miles, the heaven and the earth turned into a line, and disappeared into the boundless. There are herds of wild beasts, fowls of birds, and this place is completely wild.

Mu Ying'er was very amazed by the speed of the train.

Qin Yue explained to Ying'er: "The main reason why the train is called a train is that it uses fire-based energy kinetic energy, with a maximum speed of 120 kilometers per hour, and has the ability to trek through the vast wilderness, which is the best and most stable means of transportation in the north." ”

Mu Ying'er had heard a description of the train on the radio, but when she actually sat on the train, the feeling was completely different.

During the imperial period, he wanted to spend millions of dollars to build a complete transportation network in the Northland, but as a result, natural disasters, demon invasions, and demonic beasts were everywhere, which eventually led to the collapse of the empire.

The cost of the train is huge!

Needless to say, the construction of railways and trains, in order to protect the smooth flow of trains, there are basically outposts every ten miles, and the scale of the railway corps and the outpost corps of Luohan Mountain is comparable, and it is the maintenance of a lot of manpower and material resources that allows the train to pass smoothly and unimpeded. The fare was expensive but difficult to break even, and the train relied mainly on transporting supplies for merchants to recover its costs.

Since the day the train was born, it has never been for profit. In an era when information dissemination is slow and communication is very difficult, this means of transportation can complete the exchange and transportation of different cities, stimulate the development of the overall economy, and enhance the development of human civilization.

In about 40 minutes, the train pulls into a wooded field.

This forest is very dense, the field of vision is a kind of tall and pitch black trees, this kind of tree is generally about 20-30 meters high, about three or four people need to hug it, the forest cover area is very large, after the train enters the forest, the whole 10 can not pass through the middle.

Mu Ying'er saw through the glass window that there were semi-mechanized logging workshops in the woods, and saw the rumbling sound of logging machinery, one by one thick giant trees were cut down and folded into small hills, and hundreds of elite men drove a few wild oxen, pulling a log with bare boards to load the truck.

Qin Yue explained: "This is the famous Black Wood Forest, and Black Iron Wood is an important strategic resource in Baicheng!"

Mu Ying'er said: "I know that the armor of the Black Armor Army in Baicheng is made of this kind of wood!"

The alias of the regular army of Baicheng is the "Black Armor Legion", because the armor is made of black ironwood, which is a special kind of wood, which only grows on black ironite, because the root system is very strong, it can absorb black ironite, the wood is very strong, and at the same time has good true air conductivity, which is a kind of armor material that is convenient to take, cheap and suitable for the environment.

The Black Iron Forest is very famous in the White City.

Mu Ying'er often hears it on the radio, but it's the first time I've seen it with my own eyes. The train did not stop, and in about 20 minutes, finally passed through the Black Iron Forest.

The topography of the plains has undergone some changes, with black rolling low hills gradually replacing the endless grasslands.

It is unusually barren, sparsely covered with vegetation, mainly made of thousands of ravines formed by black rocks, the terrain is very complex, the terrain seems to have been cut by thousands of giant axes, and the train gradually slows down, and finally stops in a canyon platform, and the door opens automatically.

Most of the mercenaries chose to get off here.

There was not a city nearby, only an empty station.

Mu Yun asked, "Where is this?"

Qin Yue explained, "Black Canyon!"

"I also know this, a group of manticores took over this place a few months ago!"

"Yes, a few months ago, a large group of manticores entrenched in the Black Canyon, almost cutting off the transportation of White City, but after a difficult and bloody battle, most of the manticores were driven away. Despite this, the Black Canyon is still dangerous, full of remnants of manticores and all kinds of fierce monsters, but for mercenaries, it is also a place of opportunity!"

The Manticoremon is a level 2 demonic beast, and although it is very ferocious and ferocious, the materials on its body are very valuable!

Not counting the beast crystal beast bones, you can meet an unattainable treasure, a complete adult scorpion-tailed beast, which can be sold for about five hundred silver coin materials, and there are many other magical beasts attached to the Black Canyon, and Baicheng even gives a reward hunting system, under the rich benefits, there are many mercenaries and adventurers who will come to break through!

Mu Ying'er leaned on the window, curiously looking ahead.

The mercenaries work together to load the four-headed monster carcass into the cart, then talk to a man dressed as a merchant, and after about a few minutes of intense negotiation, the merchant opens the cash box and pays a large amount of coins.

The mercenary got the money and left with a happy face.

This scene is very common at Black Canyon Station.

Mu Ying'er saw from a distance that those monsters were very large in size, estimated to be about the same as bison, with rocky skin and a lion-like appearance, but with a thick tail like a poisonous scorpion, and a hideous appearance, which made people shudder.

Is this the Manticore?

Mu Ying'er was deeply shocked, what a terrifying monster this is!

Although there are often reports on the radio about the battle situation in the Black Canyon, the cold numbers and dry descriptions cannot describe the fierceness of the battle at all. The terrain of the Black Canyon is extremely complex, and in this environment, the battle process must be extremely difficult!

In order to get through the Black Canyon, the city lord must come back at a huge price!

No wonder Lan Yue wanted to form a half-orc military camp, Bai Cheng really needed an army that was strong in combat and cheap and quick at the same time!
