Of course, the alchemy train will not only carry passengers, but also many goods, and now the carriages in the second half are still loading and unloading large quantities of supplies, and all passengers are waiting.

Ian uses fairy perception to observe the crowd not far away who are carrying out unloading work.

They are in full swing, and there is even a special alchemy device that can be controlled by one person to suck a relatively large box like a magnet, and only release the suction after being transferred to the flat ground.

Alchemical instruments have been widely used in private production around the imperial capital. This is not yet widespread in Port Harrison.

Without transport capacity, there would be no significant productivity...... Whatever the Black King may have been praised for in later generations, the foundation he laid for the Settar Empire is so solid that all those who come after him need to remember this.

And after the loading and unloading is completed, the train starts gradually.

As the heart of the alchemy furnace at the front gradually hummed, a sound like a rainstorm sounded, and there were gusts of wind between heaven and earth.

Rumble - The wheels turned, and the giant steel beast drove forward, a hazy shield flash on the outside of the silver-black painted alchemy train, carrying the carriage behind.

Outside the train window, the main station of Bad is rapidly receding and shrinking, and the road closer to the train is blurred by the high-speed movement, except for the sunset that gradually sets in the sky, which seems to remain stable and still in its original place.

But this is only temporary.

Soon, night was falling, and many passengers chose to turn off the lights next to their seats and prepare to take a nap to the soothing violin music played by the train.

The Alchemy Train Network was built in the middle of the Black King Era, when the First Knight had cleared almost all the monster lairs in the Central Great Plains of the Empire, and the core hinterland of the empire belonged to people, and a large number of towns and arable land were built and developed, and the Alchemy Train Network was part of a ten-year construction plan.

After leaving the main station, you will gradually start to approach the agricultural area. The central part of the Sertar Empire was an unusually mountainless region, with forests, rivers and hills, but in the final analysis, the flat terrain dominated the majority.

The steel behemoth sped away, and the verdant farmland receded backwards on both sides of the track.

Even with trains, it's quite a long journey.

And Ian and Frostbutterfly were watching.

Following the vibration of the tracks, they walked past the Black Lake, and the huge fishing grounds on the shores of Carmore City caught the eye in the night.

As the forest flew by, they gazed at the Falling Star Hills, where the dwarven towns were always full of enthusiasm and the fires in the towns were constantly lit up late at night.

From the station, they looked out over the vast orchards, where the Royal Department of Agriculture's Animal Husbandry Experiment Garden and New Seed Planting Area were located, and the vast white greenhouses even made people vaguely think they were in the snow-capped northland.

The train starts again, leading the boy and the elf closer to the heart of a thriving Terra country.

They saw the ruins of an ancient city, a cracked labyrinth of pre-epochs and a city of relics, now a tourist attraction for future generations to admire in its former glory.

There are also tracks on the bridge that spans 1,500 meters from the great river, a fortress of a city-state long ago, a checkpoint to the river, but now it is a place of commerce and workshops, and the flow of people is far more unstoppable than the armies that passed through this place hundreds of years ago.

On the train, Ian and the two elves pass through deep lakes and rolling hills, over vast woodlands and farmlands, and time passes by sun and night.

They traveled to distant lands.

Such a rare leisure, no one to chase and kill, and there is no journey full of demonic beasts like Nanling, to be honest, it is quite relaxing.

It was in this environment that Frostbutterfly gradually accepted the knowledge and common sense that Ian and Birch had taught her.

"I see...... Well, I get it all right. ”

The little goblin showed a sudden expression, although she didn't know what she understood, but she was able to say such a paragraph fluently, which proved that Frostbutterfly had indeed learned well recently, and it was definitely no problem to communicate with people normally.

As for the kind of thing like accidentally saying something weird...... For humans, it doesn't matter that goblins say strange things every day.

"It turns out that the trip in the car is like this, and it is also a kind of beauty to enjoy the scenery slowly...... The last time I was halfway through my seat, I felt too slow, so I got out of the car and walked by myself. ”

For example, when it comes to the feelings that Birch is emitting now, Miss Fairy nods with emotion: "Ian, have you been on the alchemy train before?" I feel like you're familiar with and enjoying it. ”

"Where."

Ian shook his head, and he said honestly: "I've never been on an alchemy train, and this is a novel experience for me - in Southridge, I haven't even been out of Port Harrison, and I've been alchemizing and alchemizing all day, and I don't have time to enjoy the scenery at all." ”

"That's why I'm happy now." He whispered, looking out the window at the slowly slowing woods.

"That's pretty hard." Hua Di commented solemnly: "I remember that we goblins have a word to describe this kind of life...... What is it called...... Social animals? ”

"Sounds like you've been in Port Harrison for a few years!"

"Poof." Ian couldn't hold back and laughed - being with goblins is inexplicably happy: "How can it be that word is in goblin township?" Shouldn't it be a human nation? ”

"Probably human." And Hua Di turned his umbrella and vaguely fell into a memory: "Because we have all the memories in the fairy psionic network, and we don't know which ones are our own and which ones are human...... Or is it something else? ”

"You can even occasionally turn over something very old."

Psionic Network?

Hearing this, Ian's heart moved, and he did know that there was an invisible web between the elves, and that network was closely related to the various veins formed by the natural psionic energy...... But now is not the time to ask about this.

When you get to the Imperial Capital, let's ask in detail about the psionic network.

The journey all the way to this point was quite enjoyable.

It wasn't until the alchemy train stopped next to the Hexagonal Flower City and boarded a few ordinary-looking passengers.

It was drizzling outside, not unlike the Southridge rain that Ian was used to, but the atmosphere did suddenly become wet and uncomfortable.

Ian tilted his head slightly, and he noticed that the carriage behind him was hula-la-la, boarding a large group of new passengers.

And among those passengers...... There are several sublimators.

For this, at first, the boy didn't care too much, after all, the closer he got to the imperial capital, the more sublimators, this is the norm.

It's like you can't see a few PhDs in physics in a remote town, but you may meet dozens of them next to the capital's university town.

But here's the problem...... Even next to the imperial capital, the frequency of sublimations that appear is obviously a bit much.

The second time I arrived at the station, next to the Brody Farmers Trade Area, there were two more sublimators. This time it's in the front compartment, and the breath can't be said to be suspicious, it can only be said that it's not a normal person at all.

At this point, Ian became alert - he carefully observed Frostbutterfly and Birch, and found that the aura on these two elves had basically not changed, and even vaguely improved.

"Yes, there's an actual second-level goblin here, where are they in danger."

Shaking his head slightly, Ian raised his vigilance and continued to pay attention to these people.

- After all, it's just that there are a little more sublimators, so it's not surprising, right?

But what he really couldn't ignore was that when he stopped and entered the station for the third time, some passengers got off the train, and among the new passengers, there were several sublimators.

Even, there were three of them who came to the carriage they were in.

One was wearing the uniform of the garrison, which was supposed to be a knight preparing to return to the imperial capital, while the other two were wearing robes and hoods.

They all have legal documents, and after getting on the bus, they go to their seats and close their eyes to meditate, looking very calm.

But it's not that simple.

"What's going on?"

Ian drank the free tea provided by the train, watching the group's actions, and his heart was full of doubts.

Because he could see that most of the sublimators obviously belonged to the same organization, and at least they had known each other for a while...... There is a clear commonality in their actions.

Not only that, but most of the people in this train to the imperial capital are people who belong to different organizations.

Among them were groups of scholars, sectarians, nobles and their henchmen. All in all, it's all a group.

Solo travelers like themselves are in the minority.

"Interesting."

After thinking for a while, Ian's brows furrowed: "It seems that something big is about to happen." ”

Sure enough.

Just half an hour later, some time after the alchemy train started again and departed.

A dull explosion was heard at the front of the car.
