Chapter 1317: Railway on the Wasteland

Although the colonists of Midgard haven’t formally formed an alliance with the
Silent Hall
, there has been no conflict between the two sides. The stone-blind barbarians often go to the colonizer’s trading site to sell ore and prey, sourcing various things that the underground world cannot produce. Industrial products are generally harmonious.
If the Meadgarde mining area was annexed by the Fijian colonists, this area would become the sphere of influence of the "Abyss Dragon Nest", and the old black dragon and the snake people of the Grey Birds did not think that they could accommodate the "Temple of Silence".
The current situation is both dangerous and clear.
The existence of the "Silent Hall" has been firmly with the Midgard Guard Mine. If the Midgard Guard can not be maintained, the next disaster that will be destroyed is the "Silent Hall."
In order to maintain its own safety, the Grey Bird believes that the "Temple of Silence" has no choice but to take over the olive branch thrown by the Meadgard colonial company, accept employment, and defend the magic crystal mining area in front of the house.
Medea listened to Grey Bird’s analysis and felt the same opinion, so Grey Bird was solely responsible for the cooperation with Midgard Colonial Company. After the employment contract was finalized, the Warriors of the Stone Blind Barbarian formed a mercenary team , Go to the mining area to participate in defense.
The Grey Bird took over the errand, so he could not accompany Medea to the old world.
Medea simply left the blind blind Bell with the gray bird. After all, this guy looks a little scary and is not suitable for being brought to human villages to show his head.
Arranging things in the family, Medea, accompanied by Joan and Ruby, directly cast the spell to the Far East of the Old World.
The next problem is that they have to find out where they are at the moment.
The "navigation compass" can only present a geographical view within 30 miles at most. The coverage area of ​​this virgin forest is obviously beyond the scope of the map.
Joan saw no signs of large villages and towns on the map. As for the small settlements with only a hundred people, it is difficult to distinguish them from the beast's lair on the map.
He had to put away the "navigation compass" and said to Medea and Ruby: "Now it's lunch time. Let's fly to the sky and take a look, maybe we can see the smoke rising in the distant towns."
Medea felt that this idea was good, and she blessed 3 rings of "flying technique" on herself to break through the shade and fly into the clear sky.
Joan and Ruby also used supernatural abilities to "shape change", and each became a mixed form of half-human and half-worm, fluttering their wings to the sky.
Overlooking the blue sky above the heads of the three people, the horizon became extraordinarily wide.
"Look! There seems to be a road over there!"
Medea points to the west, about 40 miles away, on the edge of this jungle, a straight road is vaguely visible, passing through the sparse bushes, extending from south to north, without a glance at the end.
"Where there is a road, there must be a settlement." Joan looked at the wide avenue through the forest and thought, "This road is so smooth that it must have invested a lot of money and manpower, and daily maintenance costs Not low, it is incredible."
"In short, is it necessary to build such a grand avenue in this desolate jungle?" Medea shook her head in confusion. "On such a great road, there are no pedestrians on it. It's a bit of a waste. Are the Far East people rich and have no place to spend?"
Qiao An thought for a while and said, "The Far East was originally a province of the empire. Last spring, the Far Eastern warlords launched a rebellion. After a short time, they occupied the capital of the province and announced their independence and founding the country on October 1, the same year. The so-called'Korras Kingdom'."
"Most of this avenue was built by the Far Eastern rebels and conquered by farmers, may there be any important military uses? After all, there is no metropolis or trading port in this area. It is reasonable to say that there is no need to build highways of such high specifications. ."
"It really looks like a brutal warlord's job." Medea shared the same sentiment. "I dare say that those workers who were forcibly recruited by the rebels to build roads might not get a few wages."
"Brother Joan, Sister Medea, Ruby, I don't think that avenue looks like an ordinary highway."
"Miss Ruby" stared straight at the road with a strange look.
"You have noticed that there are slender objects reflecting on the road, and it looks a bit like iron bars."
"It's really..." After careful observation, Medea also found that the road surface was abnormal. "Let's fly over to see what is going on."
Joan was also surprised by what he saw, and nodded, fluttering his wings to the nearest road.
The three of them flew at full speed for half an hour, and finally came over the straight and wide avenue, and successively converged their wings and landed.
Standing close to the roadside and observing, Joan had to admit that Ruby's question made sense-this avenue is simply not a "highway" in the traditional sense!
The wide pavement is very flat, with drainage ditches dug on both sides, the pavement is covered with gravel and parallel sleepers, and four parallel steel rails are fixed on the sleepers and extend straight along the pavement, every interval, roadside There are also stone tablets and signs with unknown purposes.
"This kind of rail on the road looks a bit familiar..."
Medea touched the headscarf, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"I remember! This is not the kind of track used to carry the minecart in the pit!"
"I haven't seen minecart tracks, but Ruby, I have seen similar tracks in the business district of Midgard-the kind of track used exclusively for driving public carriages."
Ruby looked at the rails in front of him that seemed to extend to the end of the horizon, muttering to himself.
"It's really strange that people in the Far East were building public carriage tracks in the wild!"
"This is indeed a track, but it is not necessarily a public carriage, nor a minecart, of course."
Joan recalled an article he saw in the News Illustrated and made his own guesses.
"This is more likely to be the track of the magic train, also known as the'railroad'."
"Magic train, what is that?"
Medea lives in the underground world all year round, and does not know much about the emerging things in the surface world.
"It's a new type of transportation that travels on rails, a bit like a horse-drawn carriage in the city, but the carriage is longer and has more sections. It can carry thousands of passengers or hundreds of tons of cargo at the same time."
"It's so powerful?!" Medea looked at Joan in disbelief and asked: "If the train is really like you said, with many cars connected in series and placed on the rails, how many horses would it take? Can it be dragged?"
