Chapter 156: The train enters the station
After paying the entry fee and stepping into the Hope Territory, the first thing the leaders of the Prosperous Territory and the Harmony Trading Company did was to stop a soldier standing at the gate of the city, send the token given by their lord, and put himself Come to Daoming.
When the guarded soldier who was stopped heard that the two caravans were guests invited by his lord, and saw that the other party took out a token of his lord, he immediately became serious.
He took two tokens, explained to his colleagues next to him, then circled his thumb and index finger, put it in his mouth, and whistled.
"Yu——" The
loud voice pierced very far, and soon, a lion's roar came from the sky in response: "Roar——!"
Subconsciously, the two caravans gathered at the city gate raised their heads, He watched helplessly as a majestic and handsome griffin flew into the sky and stayed in the air a few meters above the ground.
Don't wait for the griffin to come down on its own.
The defending soldier who called the griffin over, or the griffin knight, jumped in place and jumped several meters high. He reached out and grabbed one of the front paws of the griffin to swing. He flexibly swung himself onto the back of the griffin, and then rode it to the town affairs center to deliver a letter to Lord Mayor.
The letter that was entrusted by the rich and powerful territory and the Harmony Trading Company to the Griffin Knight who went to report the letter did not actually write anything. It was blank and only a seal was sealed.
The lord's mark that belongs to Gu Mi alone.
As long as they see this mark, any resident who wants the territory can recognize it as a token of their own lord.
Therefore, he did not doubt the identity of the other party, and rushed to help people report the letter as soon as possible.
After the griffin knight left, the colleague he had just explained took a step forward and said to the people of the rich and powerful territory and the harmonious business: "Do you want to wait here for the reply of our lord, or let me lead first. Are you going to visit our territory?"
"We want to visit your territory first."
Without waiting for the people in the rich and powerful territory to respond, Lin Wenxuan, the leader of the Harmony Firm, was secretly urging him to express their wishes.
The people in the rich and powerful territories who originally wanted to wait at the city gate for a while also changed their attention: "We are too, please give us a temporary tour guide, brother." "
No trouble, it's easy."
The soldier who had come to guide the two caravans happened to be a survivor, and he was receptive to some of the modern discourses from the leaders on either side.
With this, the two sides confirmed the identity of the other party, so the subsequent communication and exchanges became much smoother.
Looking at the large number of riding beasts brought by the two companies, the newly appointed temporary tour guide said: "Do you want to deposit the riding beasts in the riding beasts first? This is more convenient."
"There are regulations in your territory . Are you riding a cavalry beast in the territory?"
A member of the Silver Ring mercenary group glanced at the territory, which was very large at first glance, and was not very happy to come down and walk.
But the beast riding under him belongs to the employer. If the people from the Harmony Trading Company accepted the advice of the temporary tour guide, then he would have to leave even if he didn't want to.
That's why he said it out loud on purpose.
He could see that there were people riding on beasts on the street, and there were also horses and carriages.
"That's not true." Sure enough, the temporary tour guide shook his head and said: "If you want to choose to use your own beasts to travel, you can, but then you can't take the newly opened ground light rail in our territory a few days ago." The
light rail Regulations do not allow any pets to be brought up.
The main reason is that many pets are too big, and the capacity of the light rail carriage is limited and cannot be packed.
"Light rail!" Xiao Jin immediately exclaimed when he heard this familiar term.
Not only him, but many survivors from modern society were shocked. Is it the light rail they imagined?
"Excuse me, where is the place where the horses are kept?"
The people in the rich and powerful territories acted the most neatly. They didn't even need someone to give orders. The dog is brought to the temporary guide.
Facing the giant dog standing taller than himself, the temporary tour guide was not afraid, and after asking the owner's consent, he reached out and rubbed one of the big heads.
It's fluffy, with a coolness like snow particles, and it feels great.
"You have raised these snow dogs very well."
The temporary guide who used to open a pet shop in his family boasted with a smile. He is also a member of the Griffin Knight Legion and has a beautiful griffin that has been raised with glossy hair. , I also like all kinds of small animals, and I am very fond of people who are also friendly to small animals.
"We were also a little surprised. Snow dogs were supposed to live in the snow, but they adapted very well after they followed us back to the territory in the great desert. We were a little worried that the environment on our side was not suitable for snow dogs to survive. Here..."
Dahui is a cheerful and outgoing man, and he is very talkative.
As soon as he saw the temporary guide in front of him who was very experienced in how to raise animals, he immediately went up to communicate with people enthusiastically.
To be honest, because of the particularity of the leadership team in their prosperous territory, after getting these snow dogs, they completely treated them as military dogs.
For the soldiers who raise it, the military dog is a comrade-in-arms who share life and death, and a family-like existence.
Therefore, they attach great importance to the physical health of the snow dogs. Unfortunately, there are no veterinarians in the territory. Up to now, they can only grope to feed the snow dogs according to their mental state and various reactions.
Now that I have finally caught a knowledgeable person, I must ask more questions.
"Snow dogs are magical beasts, no better than ordinary beasts. Their bodies are very strong and their ability to adapt to the environment is also very strong. Although the desert environment is different from the snow field, the low temperature of the desert is similar to the status of the snow field, and the snow dogs can completely adapt to it. Come on, as for the high temperature in the desert, snow dogs can also use their own abilities to cool themselves down, which is not a big problem. When you raise them in the desert, the most important thing is to ensure that there is sufficient water supply, and you should feed them more water at ordinary times... "
This temporary tour guide obviously has some research on magical beasts. He led them to the beast riding not far from the gate of the city, and he unreservedly taught the people in the rich and powerful territories the experience of raising snow dogs. After being taught, I just need that small notebook to come out and take notes.
Seeing this, the temporary tour guide's desire to be a good teacher was satisfied, but he also smiled a little embarrassedly.
"Actually, my research on monsters is relatively simple. If you really want to know more about this, you can find an opportunity to ask our lord for instructions and see if she can agree to let you go to the breeding area in our territory. Let's visit and learn from the animal riding and training office."
He also ran to help out there from time to time in his spare time in order to keep his own griffins well, and learn related knowledge by the way.
In a way, it's a personal hobby.
But if he were really asked to switch to work in the breeding area, he would definitely not be happy. Rather than staying in the territory every day to tame beasts, he would rather ride his combat partner out to kill the enemy and fight to defend the territory!
"Why...why did the tour guide suddenly ignite?"
Xiao Jin, who silently followed behind Fuqiang Territory and the others, widened his eyes and looked at the temporary tour guide who suddenly ignited his fighting spirit in confusion.
"I don't know." Lin Wenxuan replied indifferently.
They only met someone for the first time today, how could they know what the other person was thinking?
The animal ride is not far from the city gate.
Soon they will arrive.
The so-called animal riding is actually nothing more than a place similar to a horse shed built of wood and straw. There are a few riding animals that are eating feed scattered in the shed, and three are neatly placed outside the shed. Build sturdy and lightweight wooden carriages.
The carriage is made by dwarven craftsmen and is strong and durable.
If someone looks down at the bottom, they will find that the bottom is also equipped with a spring shockproof mechanism, which is a little bumpy to sit on, but it is absolutely comfortable.
After a brief introduction to the carriage rental business in their own territory, the temporary tour guide took a group of them to deposit the riding beast.
"Storing the riding beasts, providing feeding, cleaning and care services. The cost of depositing each riding beast is 6 copper coins per day. How many do you want to deposit?"
He was rooted beside the animal ride, and when he didn't speak, others thought it was just an ordinary old tree. When he spoke, not to mention the old voice that suddenly appeared, the one that suddenly grew a human face. The moving tree also frightened people.
"What?!"
A small number of people in the Harmony Trading Company who didn't know there was a tree man in the world were so frightened that they hid back. Even the people in the rich and powerful territories were surprised, but they didn't react as big as those in the Harmony Trading Company.
"This is the tree people, one of the oldest highly intelligent races in the world. They generally live in forests or mountains with lush trees. In a static state, it is difficult to distinguish them from ordinary trees.
" The head of Guang's Silver Ring mercenary regiment saw that the employer was frightened, and hurriedly explained it to them.
"Hmph, a bunch of rude little guys."
The old tree man who was called 'Thing' glared at the startled people in the Harmony Trading Company with a dissatisfied face.
Seeing this situation, the temporary tour guide immediately shouldered his responsibilities and hurriedly stood up and said: "Grandpa Shu, don't be angry, they are the guests of the lord, if there is any offense, I will apologize to you on their behalf. No?"
"The Lord's guest, if that's the case, then forget it."
The old tree has become a spirit, and Grandpa Shu naturally understood the hints in the words of the temporary guide. Since he is a guest of the lord, he should not be too careless.
With a business-like attitude, after accepting the storage fees for the beasts from these two people, he earnestly helped them settle the beasts, added enough food and water, and waited for them to come back to pick them up. .
"Let's go, I'll take you to the station to take the light rail."
The episode just now did not affect the temporary guide's attitude. He still politely invited the two groups of guests to the light rail station they were most interested in and waited for the next light rail. 's arrival
Hope Territory's light rail project is actually still in the construction phase.
Gu Mi envisioned the construction of four sections of light rail, with the township center as the core, so that the four sections of light rail would form a staggered cross section, traveling back and forth between the front and rear city gates and the residential area to the industrial area, which is convenient for the residents to travel and go to work. work.
The only two sections of the light rail that have been built are from the front city gate to the town center, and then from the town center to the back city gate. The other two sections are still under construction and have not yet been put into use.
So that's why it's a big project.
It took more than three months to build a large light rail from the front gate to the back gate alone.
Among them, there is a natural reason for the technical difficulty of light rail construction, but it is hoped that the low productivity of the heavy industry in the territory itself is also a reason.
If they can make the tracks needed for the light rail faster, maybe the construction of the light rail can be a little faster.
But today's orbital casting is completely hand-made by the dwarves, including all large and small parts, so the slow progress of the project is reasonable...
No, the progress of this project can really be called fast!
The temporary tour guide had no intention of concealing, and briefly introduced the light rail construction in their territory to the guests.
After all, the engineering team was working there carelessly. Even if he didn't say anything about these things, as long as anyone with eyes could see them, there was no need to hide them.
It didn't take long before a light rail train coming from the town center gradually approached the terminal of Qianchengmen.
"Ding ding ding..." The
familiar ding ding sound sounded, along with a standard announcement sound: "Please pay attention, the train is entering the station, please note..."
