Li's path

Chapter 255 Black Silver Steel City
The train with red as the main color started slowly. The girl with long blue hair on the platform couldn't help waving her hands. Her heroic face was full of reluctance. The girl was naturally Laura.

The competition a few days ago came to an end with Victor's intervention.

In the final analysis, the two are just competing, not fighting. If they really want to let them exchange the last move regardless, they may be seriously injured if they don't die. That's why Viscount Victor stepped in to stop them.

And the two girls also knew that "Swordsmith of Light" was on the scene, so they opened up so confidently.

The results of the first battle are naturally quite rich. Anilas has completed the synchronism with "Speed ​​Feather", and Laura has mastered the power of ripples. Ao Chuan only missed the goal. (Anilas is still not as good as Laura. After all, Yani is 19 and Laura is 16, three years apart.)
After the fierce battle, parting followed.Viscount Victor was invited by the grand master of the Van der family to go to the western part of the empire, and Laura was also a member of the entourage.

Li En has been away from home for half a year, and the closer he is to home, the more he misses his family and friends. After bidding farewell to the Yanol family, he embarked on the road back home.

The figure coming out of the car window became more and more unclear, and finally the whole train disappeared from sight. Laura turned around and let go of her hand.

It's obviously not the first time we parted, so why are you more reluctant than ever?
Obviously they are just friends, why does her heart feel blocked when she sees Lisha and Yanilas by her side?
Well, we are best friends, I just don't want to see him go further and further down the path of scum.Laura warned herself secretly, but the sourness in her heart was still lingering.

What's wrong with me?Ryan, tell me, what should I do?
On the train, Li En leaned against the seat and closed his eyes.

In my mind, the bits and pieces of getting along with Laura are still lingering.

In the misty morning, she wields the sword meticulously; in the sunny afternoon, she leaps lightly and plays happily in the water; in the evening when the breeze comes, she hugs the book and tells the story of "The Cavalry" to the children.

In the dojo, swords were intertwined, and he would smile when he saw the joyful smile on her face.

In the study room, he was wandering in the sea of ​​books, occasionally looking up, he caught a glimpse of her gently bringing him a cup of black tea, for fear of disturbing him.

In front of the statue of the saint, she prayed devoutly, and her concentration made him unable to accompany her in prayer.

Without knowing it, Laura, you have left such a deep mark on my heart.

Laura, I am waiting, waiting for the day when I will meet you again in Thors.

The train gallops on the railway, and the scenery on both sides reverses rapidly.There are many hills in the northern mountainous area, and the trains run along the track, winding and undulating, which has a special taste.All of a sudden, my eyes went dark, and it turned out that the train had entered the tunnel.

"Du~" There was a train approaching in the distance, and they honked their sirens to greet each other.The train passed by, and the passengers by the window looked at each other with different expressions.

These may not be a big deal to the citizens of the empire who are used to trains, but to Celeste who is riding a train for the first time, it is nothing new.

"Is this the train? It's a very interesting means of transportation." Celeste experienced a feeling she had never had before through the spiritual connection.

"Compared to the airship, its carrying capacity is much larger, whether it is carrying people or cargo." Li En knew everything and said everything.

"However, the comfort and flexibility seem to be much inferior to the airship." Celeste is worthy of being a technical nerd, and she has an insight into the shortcomings of the train at a glance.

"There is no way around this. The cost of airship-based transportation is too high for the empire. Therefore, the prime minister rejected Libel's proposal to fully roll out the railway network instead."

"So that's how it is, saving costs and ensuring the convenience of transportation. By the way, Li En, why didn't the train reach your hometown? It seems to be called Yumir."

"Although the railway basically covers the entire territory of the empire, there are still some places that cannot be reached. Firstly, Yumir is a small border town, located in a remote area, with a small population, so it is not worth the loss to build a railway specially. Secondly, Yumir is still in A Within the scope of the Sinte Mountains, the entire town is built on the mountainside, the terrain is steep, and it is even more difficult to build a railway. With that effort and funds, it is more cost-effective to just buy an empty boat."

"No wonder you want to save money to buy an empty boat."

"Of course, I also have plans to show off in a spaceship. It's more awesome than driving." Li En smiled, he had no scruples about Celeste, and said, "Ah, I don't know if you can Can't understand how I feel."

"I understand." Celeste replied affirmatively, "I also had similar thoughts."

"Oh?"

"The main design of the protective clothing you are wearing has actually been completed a long time ago, but I changed it several times because I was not satisfied with the style."

"Then we really hit it off." Li En said with a smile.

"I think so."

"Then when I get my airship, will you help me transform it?"

"Okay." Celeste agreed straight away, "To be honest, the current guidance technology is far behind our "Sealing Mechanism"."

This is the pride of scientists, even after thousands of years, it remains unchanged.

"Well." Li En hesitated for a moment, and said, "I believe in your technical ability, but the problem is that my operational ability and existing equipment do not meet your requirements."

"Well, this is indeed a problem. If I knew it earlier, I should go to Chase's workshop first."

"Libel has Chase, and the Empire also has Luray. That's where we're going to get off. Let's take a look?"

"Ah."

————————————————————————————————————————

"Black Silver Steel City" - Luray, the capital of Nordia State in the northern part of the empire, belongs to one of the "Four Famous Families", under the rule of Marquis Rogner.

Luray is to the empire what Chase is to Liber, representing the country's highest technological and manufacturing capabilities, an industrial center, and a research and development center.The technology here is highly developed, and any emerging things will be promoted from here to the whole country.

Unlike other cities in the empire, the entire Luray is full of modern buildings with reinforced concrete structures, and the famous Zaxon Iron Mine is nearby, so it has the name "Black Silver Steel City".

There are three most iconic buildings in the whole city, the towering columnar power guide tower-responsible for supplying the city's guide power; the Luray University of Technology in the east of the city-the highest institution of imperial engineers, G. Dr. Schmidt is the president of this university; the head office of "Lynfort Society" located in the city center - the largest industrial manufacturer in West Semuria and the second largest chaebol.

From time to time, researchers in white coats hurried past. Guili stores can be seen everywhere. There are a wide variety of Guili products, which make people dazzled. cheap stuff. (Reality is not a game. Elliott and Emma's trial-made guide sticks can't be sold in every city, and they are so cheap.)
Li En and his party walked in this modern industrial city. With the experience of Chase, Yanilas and Lisha also became resistant to this kind of scene. They didn't have much surprise on their faces. similarities and differences. (The last time Li En brought Lisha home, he got off the train and went out of the city directly, without going for a walk in the city)
"Hey, there is also an escalator here?"

"The design of this guided gun is different from that of Chase."

"What is this? Something I've never seen before."

Just walking around like this, a group of people walked up the stairs at the corner of the ground floor.The mezzanine between the first floor and the second floor is unique. Not only are there a large number of family members of the miners, but also a powerful guide and his workshop are hidden.

"Here we are, this is it." Li En stopped in front of an inconspicuous iron door. There was a dilapidated wooden board hanging on the door, and the words on it could be vaguely recognized——"Repair Shop Jakas"

"This is the studio you're looking for?" Celeste wondered. It's no wonder she showed such an expression. Compared with the glamorous places before, this place is far away, let alone compared with her previous lab. .

"Experts always have some eccentricities. In the early years, this was also a very famous technician, and his reputation in the empire was only behind Dr. Schmidt and President Gunn. Dr. Schmidt stayed in the school and did research, so it was not easy to see. ;President Gu En traveled all over the world, but couldn't find it. If you want to see the best craftsmanship of the empire, you can only come here."

With that said, Li En raised his hand and knocked on the door:

"excuse me."
