Chapter 122 Magic Train

The front of the magic train looked quite huge in the eyes of everyone.

After all, most people think it is a new minecart, or a rail carriage or something like that.

It’s not that there haven’t been nobles who have done similar things, but in the end they gave up because they were too troublesome to maintain, and they were just used as entertainment projects for the nobles after dinner.

However, when the curtain was finally lifted, everyone realized that the locomotive looked heavy and huge, and did not look like it was meant to be pulled by horses. For some reason, Keith suddenly felt a little creepy when he looked at this magic train.

Linde boarded the front of the train and was just about to invite Rena to get on board gracefully when he saw Rena jumping to his side.

Linde had no choice but to say to the conductor who had boarded the train with him, "Let's go."

Although this magic-driven train does not have a whistle, Lind still installed a whistle device. After all, he can directly copy the whistle signal of the train in his previous life.

As the guards dispersed the crowd on the track, the magic train let out a clear and loud whistle, and began to move slowly forward without any external help.

Lind leaned back in his seat leisurely, admiring the gray-collar workers outside the window.

Because of the leap in steelmaking technology and the efforts of alchemists, Linde unfortunately did not hear Kuang Kuang Kuang's voice anymore.

This section of track is made of seamless steel rails throughout, and it is estimated that seamless steel rails will be used for subsequent connections. Although the initial cost is relatively high, the maintenance cost of seamless steel rails is lower.

Keith's eyes almost popped out when he saw the magic train in front of him, which looked a bit like a large horse-drawn carriage but had a smoother shape, and began to move on the rails under its own power.

Keith reacted and started running after the moving magic train along with the gray-collared residents.

Keith thought of the application of this train almost instantly. After all, it is called a train, and it is estimated that many carriages can be added to the back.

As long as the railway tracks are laid, it will be possible to transport troops, food, and supplies, and the entire territory will soon be connected.

From now on, the situation of the king being far away and the sky being high will be greatly alleviated - if this magic train can support long-distance operation.

This is a monster, Keith realized immediately. This will be a monster invention that will change the war, no, it can even be said to change the world.

Even though the gray-collared people were no longer surprised by the new things that appeared almost every day, this magic train that could run on its own still made them extremely excited.

Looking at the people running and shouting outside the window, Lind asked the conductor to slow down the train so that the people could catch up with the speed of the train.

At the same time, Linde and Lena stretched out their hands and waved to the people outside the window.

A professional recorded this moment with magic props, and the gray-collar magic train was officially opened to traffic.

However, at present, the symbolic significance is greater than the practical significance. After all, the railway has not been built yet, and the obelisks in other places are still under construction, so we can only drive around the gray-white-collar workers.

Although there are containers of the highest density primary color sand as backup energy, the main source of power for the magic train still comes from the charging of the obelisks. Once the railways and obelisks in various places are built, the magic train will be able to run throughout the territory.

After the magic train made a circle, Keith looked at the stopped behemoth in shock.

Originally, Keith thought that the war had just begun. Even if the weapons and equipment of the Gray-Collar Army were more advanced, Governor Doug controlled most of the northern land after all. Even relying on the land area, he could still fight with the Gray-Collar Army repeatedly, and the two sides might be in a stalemate for a long time.

But now it seems that the war is over.

The supply to the Pétain Line had been almost completely cut off. Based on Keith's understanding of Doug's army, there was an 80% chance that the Pétain Line would surrender without a fight.

By then, the gray-collar workers will build the railway together with this huge thing.

Even Keith, who had no experience in fighting, knew that in the future, wherever the railway was built, Governor Lind's territory would expand.

All that awaits Doug is a slow death.

Time always passes quickly on prayer days. Keith waited in line for a whole day but still couldn't get on the magic train to experience it.

Even though the ticket price for the experience is not low for ordinary people, and is even a bit expensive, the wealth of ordinary white-collar workers still completely exceeds Keith's imagination. Although they can only experience a short journey, there are still a lot of people willing to pay for the tickets.

Especially after the Governor-General said that the railway might have to serve the military first and civilian use might have to wait until later, the price of a ticket was sold to a sky-high level. A large number of businessmen bought scalper tickets without blinking an eye, just to get to know about this train before others, so that the authorities finally had to announce that tickets could only be bought on the spot and boarded on the spot to eliminate the scalpers.

But even so, there were still a lot of people queuing up, especially those businessmen who valued time more than money. They actually followed the leaders and lined up obediently. These businessmen were keenly aware of the huge value behind the magic train.

By the time Keith returned to the cabin prepared for him by Governor Lind, it was already dark. Although the gray-and-white collar was still brightly lit, it was not at all like the end of the night.

"Master Keith, I have a letter for you today."

Lind still gave these surrendered nobles some face, especially those who were willing to come to Gray and White Collar. Lind not only retained the titles of these nobles, but also arranged accommodation for them in Gray and White Collar, where every inch of land is valuable.

However, most of the nobles felt that this was a humiliation and retreated to their original territories with their wealth. Only Keith was very sensible. Not only did he bring in gray-collar workers, he even dismissed the servants, leaving only one soldier to serve him, and he also re-signed the contract according to the regulations.

Keith took the letters, most of which were from nobles in Black Iron City and other newly occupied areas, inviting Keith to join in the great cause.

After all, the new policies implemented by Lind were more painful to these nobles than killing them, especially the confiscation of their land.

The earliest batch of nobles had almost no choice but to either give up their land and run away, or work for Lind obediently.

But these nobles are different now, they have the help of Doug's forces behind them. The experience of these nobles tells them that it is not impossible to give it a try. The previous noble war that was too frivolous and Lind's relatively tolerant attitude gave these nobles an illusion: they would not die if they gave it a try.

It seems that the nobles of the Capetian Kingdom all like to think this way.

But now Keith was too lazy to even look at it. Public event? Bullshit!

Keith collected all the letters without missing a single one, and prepared to deliver them directly to the Governor tonight.

Those pedantic guys simply cannot imagine at what speed the white-collar workers are moving forward. This is simply another world.

Keith admitted that he was a coward, that he could not fight, and that he was a typical aristocrat who was only good at calculating but could not create production value, as described by the Governor-General. But he was not stupid!

Especially after seeing the magic train today, from today on, there will be only one sun in the sky, and there will only be one sun in Keith's heart.

Keith now has only one thought: loyalty!

"correct."

Keith, who had picked up all the letters, said to the soldier who was serving him, "I'm going to the Governor's Mansion. Please buy me the latest two issues of the newspaper and ask the newspaper owner if he has any information on the Noble Reform Regulations and the Land Distribution Bill promoted by the Governor."
