Chapter 1739: Debut Of The Steam Train

The preliminary meeting before the peace talks was attended by the various races, just like how the actual one would be. This made Chaos City the center of attention for all races in the Norland Continent.

The continent appeared like the calm surface of the sea, but deep underneath, the different races were like the raging current as they secretly sharpened their weapons to get ready for the war should the peace talks fail.

Even the dwarves, who had friendly relations with all other races, had already started limiting the number of merchants moving in and out of Issen Castle, and were prepared to lock up the route into the castle at any time.

As the representatives for each race arrived at Chaos City, the city lord’s castle’s guest reception department also started to get busy. Luckily, the city lord’s castle was already very adept in the preparation work for the meeting, so they were not flustered.

“Sir, Miss Scheer just sent someone over to inform us that the preparatory work for the first train had been completed. It is ready to run on time an hour later,” Dicus told Michael upon entering the study.

“Excellent. It’s about time we set off as well.” Michael stood up and headed towards the door.

“Sir, the chief of Aug Tribe, Auster, and the chief of the flaming tribe, as well as other representatives have just arrived in the city lord’s castle. Would you want to meet them first?” Dicus reminded.

“I’ll have time for that tomorrow. They can’t be compared to the workers who had slogged out countless days and nights for the railroad.” Michael walked out of the door without hesitation.

“Yes.” Dicus kept the file in his hands, and followed behind Michael quickly.

In a shrub around 15 kilometers north of Chaos City, there was a railroad running through the forest.

The end of the railroad was a stone wall. At this moment, a steel giant was pulled out slowly by several orcs, stopping in front of the wall.

This was a steel giant standing at five meters with a length of more than 20 meters. Its long chimney pointed towards the sky, looking like the steel giant had grown a unicorn-like horn.

On both sides of the railway were tired-looking workers and designers whose eyes were shining very brightly.

In the train were tens of other technicians doing the last runs and testings to ensure that the train could run smoothly.

Three months of continuous hard work in addition to the effort put in by thousands of superb blacksmiths and designers resulted in the creation of this steel monster! Only they themselves knew how much effort they had put into this.

“Young Mistress, the news had already been sent to the city lord’s castle and Mamy Restaurant,” the secretary told Scheer.

“Good. Let’s just wait for the city lord and Mr. Mag to witness this moment that might change the world.” Scheer nodded with a smile as she looked at the steel giant gleaming under the sun.

Although she had already become the most reputable woman in Chaos City, or even the Norland Continent, the voices of doubt against her had not stopped over these few years despite her leading the Buffett Bank to greater heights.

The most that was said about her inheriting Buffett Bank was that no matter who took on that role, they would be able to earn buckets of gold.

Scheer could not be bothered to explain herself to those ridiculous people, but she had always wanted to break out of her comfort zone outside the Buffett Bank.

The steam train’s appearance made her see that possibility. A market that might have a greater potential than a bank, a possibility of changing the world.

Mag, who just returned to Mamy Restaurant with Amy, saw the man Scheer sent over, and brought Amy along on board his horse-drawn carriage to the steam engine research center.

The steam engine had once changed the world, and Mag believed that it would be able to change the world here too. On top of that, it would even be able to change the pace of life and the way people traveled at a more rapid speed with the help of capitalism and politics.

And today was the historical moment where the hard work of numerous workers over countless months was finally revealed. The first locomotive in Norland Continent would begin its first operation on the railroad!

“Father, where are we going?” Amy asked curiously as she looked at Mag’s agitated expression. She rarely saw such an expression on her father’s face.

“To the north. I’ll bring Little Amy to take a ride on the steam train,” Mag replied with a smile. As the starter of this project, Mag had devoted quite some effort to it, and had also participated in some of the trials and research work. Therefore, he was just as nervous and expectant for the result of the first official operation as all the workers.

“Steam train? What is that?” Amy blinked.

“It’s a carriage that runs on fire,” Mag replied with a smile.

“Oh, then it must be done by burning the horse’s tail, right? Are we trying it now?” Amy lifted the curtain to the horse-drawn carriage, and looked at the swinging tail of the unicorn pulling the carriage. A bright bluish violet flame had been ignited at the tip of her finger.

“It’s not by burning the horse’s tail. Little Amy, you will find out in a bit.” Mag quickly grabbed Amy’s hand, and looked apologetically at the man whose eyes widened with fear.

“Oh.” Amy placed the curtain down obediently, and turned to look at the man. She curiously asked, “Uncle, are you feeling very warm? Why are you perspiring so much?”

“Ahem… I… I might have worn too many layers.” That man tugged at his thin uniform awkwardly. He had heard about this little princess of Mamy Restaurant, and knew that she was a talent in magic, and had two very powerful masters.

The horse-drawn carriage drove northwards out of the city.

Mag and Amy arrived at the research center almost at the same time as Michael.

“Boss Mag, you’re here too.” Michael got off from his black kirin as Mag alighted from the horse-drawn carriage.

“Sir.” Michael nodded at Michael. His gaze fell upon the steam train that was sitting quietly on the railway. Its angular head and black metallic body gave off an icy glow.

“Uncle City Lord, are you here to take a ride on the steam train as well?” Amy asked in shock as she got out of the horse-drawn carriage.

“Yes. Is Little Boss also here to take the steam train with Boss Mag?” Michael asked Amy with a smile.

“Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Other than my master, no one knows fire better than me. If it gets dangerous, I can protect Father,” Amy said with a nod.

“That’s great. In that case, you’ll have to protect me too,” Michael said seriously.

“Hmm… I’ll consider it first.” Amy propped her head on her fist thoughtfully.

“Sir, Mr. Mag, you’re here.” Just then, Scheer came up, and told them, “The first steam train is all ready. There are 15 minutes left till it’s set to leave. Do you all have anything to say to everyone?”

“10 minutes, the three of us can take three minutes each,” Michael said with a smile as he boarded the train.
