Chapter 60: A Journey to the Capital (5) The Galaxy
From Jiangcheng to the Elven River, it took ten days to travel down the Gongjiang River by boat during the flood season, and seven days by horse-drawn carriage, but for Newton, it only took one and a half days.
This is the only passenger car on Newton's board, immediately behind the front of Newton's car, and looking out through the huge glass window on the wall of the carriage, you can see the scene of the continuous speed of the rear, Newton is indeed unimaginably fast.
Xinghe leaned on the window and looked out of the window, after all, it was a young man's heart, and it was inevitable that he would be a little fascinated when he saw such a shocking creation, Xinghe didn't know much about Volkan University, only that it was a school founded by the Moro people, but one thing was for sure, there was no magic in that school, because the only non-demon school in the empire that allowed the teaching of magic was Tiangong Academy.
That is to say, those little men who don't know magic use steel and bronze to do things that even magic can't necessarily do, and the book has described that these little men used steam and steel to accomplish many things that can't be done with magic, but the impact felt from the description in the book is far less than what I saw with my own eyes, in front of such a fast and large-capacity creation, Jiangcheng's traditional shipping has almost no competitiveness, and Jiangcheng's defeat in front of these little men is not unjust at all.
Because of this, Du Ze turned his back on his subordinates and left Jiangcheng to start a so-called big business, Xinghe couldn't help but think, if it wasn't for Du Ze's incident, when the day came when Jiangcheng went into a depression and Dongcheng District collapsed, how many of them would have done?
The roar from the front of the train brought him back to reality, and Anton was leaning on the window to look out of the window, even though they had spent the night on the train, as if they were still tired of looking at the scenery.
Rongruo, uh, was struggling with the fruit bowl on the table, and Pixar had flown out of her pocket, fiddling with an unknown green fruit.
"Is the leprechaun's staple food fruit?" This was the first time Xinghe had seen Pixar eat along the way, and he hadn't seen the goblin every time they had eaten before.
Pixar didn't have time to answer Xinghe's question, he was busy with how to remove the skin of the green fruit, or Rong Ruo replied casually from the fruit bowl, "The little goblins are magical creatures, their food is pure magic, and eating fruit is just an interest." ”
Pixar, who had already opened Qingguo's mouth and buried his head in it, snorted twice, expressing his agreement with Rong Ruo's words and his contempt for Xinghe's ignorance.
Xinghe silently watched as the green fruit gradually became shriveled, and the little goblin's stomach gradually bulged into a round ball, judging from the proportions, this little goblin ate the green fruit half the size of his body, I don't know if all the little goblins have such a good appetite.
"Look, there's a tree!" suddenly exclaimed Anton, who was lying on the window.
Xinghe followed his gaze, and there was a pale shadow in the distance, faintly in the shape of a large tree, and at such a distance it seemed to be about as tall as a mountain not far away, and it was hard to imagine how tall the tree was.
"The Pale Tree?" Xinghe glanced back at Rong Ruo.
She glanced at the shadow, then rolled her eyes at Xinghe, "Otherwise, do you think there are other trees that big in the world?"
Xinghe was slightly embarrassed, indeed, in this world, there is only one such huge tree, that is the Pale Tree, and under that tree is naturally the destination of this car, the largest city in the world - Elven River.
The Pale Tree is a completely different kind of shock than Newton, who symbolizes the awe-inspiring wisdom of the Moro people, and the Pale Tree shows the awe-inspiring side of the world, under this giant tree, all life seems so small, especially for those who can feel the magic, the huge magic contained in the tree is beyond the reach of man.
Newton had been galloping for a long time from the time they saw the Pale Tree, and they had only really entered the Elven River, and by this time the Pale Tree was no longer visible, only the thick gray-white trunk like a mountain and the thick branches and leaves above their heads that covered the sky and the sun.
With the harsh sound of metal grinding under his feet, Newton slowly slowed down, and finally stopped in what seemed to be a factory, after the car stopped, a formally dressed demon spirit politely invited them out of the car, of course, his politeness was only for Rong Ruo, as for Xinghe and Anton, he didn't even look at it.
They were then stuffed into a wagon and quickly sent away, the other party didn't seem to see what was in the factory, but Xinghe still sneaked a glance to see more steam cars being built in the distance.
Rong Ruo said an unfamiliar street name to the coachman, and then leaned back on the chair, after all, the Elven River is the largest city in the world, even the size of the capital city is not comparable to it, not to mention the small Jiangcheng, this factory should be located on the outskirts of the Elven River, and the carriage has been walking around for a long time before it really bustles.
However, there is one thing that makes Xinghe very puzzled, the sky above the city is obscured by the branches and leaves of the pale tree, and it stands to reason that the sunlight should not shine in, but the city is very bright, and there is no dim feeling at all, and Xinghe can feel that it is real sunlight scattered in the city, not magic lighting.
The best way to solve this doubt is naturally to ask the locals, so Xinghe set his eyes on Rong Ruo, "Where does the sunshine in the city come from?"
"Now, look at that!" Rong Ruo pointed in a direction very casually, Xinghe looked at her hand, he saw a tower in that direction, the top of the tower was a huge crystal, and the sunlight he felt came from that crystal, and as the carriage moved, the angle between them and the tower changed, Xinghe saw something else, there was a ray of light from a distance into the crystal, and along the direction of the light, it went up, until it reached the branch of the pale tree, and a huge mirror could be seen, and the light was from the top of the mirror and reflected out。
"There are many more such towers in the city, how many are there?" Rong Ruo scratched her head, pulled her fiery red hair and thought for a long time, and finally held back a sentence, "Anyway, there are a lot of them." ”
There is still a big gap between the Elven River and the capital, the capital has a large number of towering and magnificent buildings, and in the Elven River, in addition to those towers that reflect the sun, the buildings on both sides of the road will not exceed three floors at most, although the architectural style does not have the momentum of the capital, but all the houses are very exquisite, and the overall is more charming. The capital city gives people a feeling of extreme prosperity, while the river of elves gives people a completely different feeling, and the galaxy doesn't know how to describe it more appropriately, it seems to be more vibrant.
