Release that Witch Chapter 959: Witness history

The next day, Neverwinter City ushered in its fourth holiday after the fall, and also the first weekend of mid autumn.

Since there are no legends like Genesis in this world, for most people, they have to be busy to fill their stomachs at all times. Since the Roland promulgated the rules on every seven days off, citizen has put this gratitude on his head to be able to take a full day off without deducting salary. What kind of picky feudal lord is this kind and loving people?

Especially the migrants from other places, after experiencing the living environment of Neverwinter City in person, they are eager to settle down here, even if City Hall's hype about Devil failed to curb this momentum compared to Hunger and poor, even the threat of Devil has become less important.

However, the Barov report shows that after the official promotion of the rest day system, the production of situation of Neverwinter City has not been affected much. The main reason is that rest is not mandatory, and many people choose to continue working and earn extra pay. However, the city's trade behavior has increased significantly. Every weekend, the square area is always overcrowded. Not only local merchants, but even foreign businessmen are swaying the wind. They choose to set up their sales on this day and use the rest for acquisitions. Western Region featured products and resold to other places.

This weekly cargo flow was unimaginable a year ago, but nowadays with the increasing number of cement ships, the pace of trade has become faster and faster. Inland cities like Scarlet Water City can even eat fresh sea fish from the shoal port and immersed in ice. In the past, noble and merchants there could only eat salted dried fish at most.

In view of this, Roland simply puts major publicity, achievement demonstrations, and various awards ceremonies on rest days. Through the habits of the masses to further promote the activity of commercial trade, the so-called wool is on sheep. The salary paid can be fully recovered from the tax and consumption of sales and purchases.

Today is no exception this weekend. The warmth left by the summer has not yet dissipated. The clear blue sky is blowing the breeze, which is obviously another good weather for traveling. There are crowds on the street. From the inland river dock area to the north wall of the city, citizen can't wait to see the figure.

The difference is that this time they are not going to the convenience market to buy a few pounds of good meat, but they are waiting to witness the new invention of His Majesty The King.

The first trial run of an unprecedented vehicle "train".

Jewelry merchant Victor is one of them.

After learning about the promotion of City Hall, he even threw a big deal he was talking about to his subordinates, and overnight he took a cement ship from the old Kingdom Capital to Neverwinter City.

If anyone has been extremely impressed by the changes in Western Region over the years, Victor is undoubtedly one of them. When he was still a remote small town, he had visited feudal lord here. For the person in charge, he didn't leave much impression. He only remembered that he was a bloated middle-aged noble. He complained a lot about his turn to manage this barren land. If it wasn't for the occasional one or two good-quality raw gemss that could be obtained from the opponent, he would probably stop at Longsong Stronghold.

Even so, Victor patronizes Western Region at most once a year, and no matter when he comes, this frontier small town is almost as worn and rotten as the previous year. But in the past three years, he has been here more and more frequently, especially after Roland Wimbledon announced the establishment of the city, basically reaching the point of Once a month .

Greycastle Western Region seems to be another world.

Here, a day is no longer a day, but a month; the same month is no longer a month, but a year. Otherwise, it is difficult for him to explain why the change of Neverwinter City is so fast.

Victor walked into a pub facing the street, and the boss immediately greeted him with a smile, "I knew you would come, and I reserved a window seat on the third floor for you."

He took out a silver royal and threw it to the other party, "Take me up."

"Yes, please follow me."

As a frequent visitor to this pub, Victor naturally does not have to choose to go to Hepingmin crowded street. Although there are many people gathered on the third floor, at least the vision is much wider.

People around are already discussing the show today.

"That narrow street is the way the train will go? It's too far away from the central square and residential area."

"Street? I do n’t know, it's called track system, mining site." Then someone sneered, "Since it's not for people, of course, it should be a little farther away. You think the train is a carriage! "

"You mean the stuff in the Silver Light City mine?"

"Yes, it was originally produced here and needs to be used with steam engine."

Victor ca n’t help but say, “I ’ve seen a trailer pulled by steam engine. Its advantage is that it does n’t care about the terrain. If it is placed on flat ground, the horse can replace it completely. So it ’s just that, City Hall should not promote it Become a "transportation vehicle"? "

"Maybe it's just a gimmick." The other mumbled.

"Go," there was a coquettish sound all around, "When you first came to Neverwinter City? Your Majesty Roland never praised Haikou in this regard."

The man wanted to say something more unconvinced, and there was a loud whistle sound in the distance.

"Woo"

"Come, it's here!" boiling got up in the room. Everyone leaned out of the window and stared at the side street of the castle area without blinking. Some of the preparers were still in their arms. Pulled out the telescope.

Victor also looks at the sound source

I saw a long black dragon slowly moving out of the sheltered house, and a little bit of people's eyes. Its body is huge, its head is like an iron bucket mounted on wheels, and the top of the bucket emits billowing smoke, which is exactly the same as when steam engine is running.

Also beside the front of the carriage, a carriage of four-wheeled carriages is towed by two batches of horses, the speed of which is comparable to that of trains, and it looks as if they are competing against each other. However, because of a full load of ore, the horses took a hard step every step. This can be seen from the driver's continuous waving of the whip. If it were not for the iron-cast wheels, the carriage would have been crushed. .

With the train gradually showing the whole picture, Victor couldn't help but feel that goose bumps was rising behind.

There are one carriage after the other. They almost carry four or five carriages, and they are also full of ore. In terms of weight, I am afraid that it is an inland river sailboat dedicated to transportation. On par.

The problem is that it carries several trains at the same time!

People's exclamation is endless!

"Four ... the fourth!"

"Five!"

"Is there impossible in the back?"

"gods is up, six!"

"Come out, seventh!"

A monster-like front pulls seven train cars through the open space in front of the castle at a very steady speed.

Victor's questions have also been answered.

A steam engine, which is fixed at the entrance of a mine and is used to pull in and out of a minecart, and a steam engine, which can act autonomously, are completely different concepts.

The latter means that wherever a railroad track is built, it can carry a large cargo. Weight is no longer the bottleneck that limits land transportation. On the contrary, its transportation capacity is more powerful than shipping. If Your Majesty is willing, he can even vacate a city in a short time.

Victor, a family of merchants, naturally knows importance for transportation. It is not without reason that most cities are built on the river nearby. The emergence of this type of vehicle will bring infinite possibilities to the flow of natural resource, and there is no exaggeration to say that it is cross-era.

He felt an indescribable throbbing in his heart, both contented and lost ... He felt that he was witnessing history, but at the same time abandoned by history in other kingdoms, feudal lord still intoxicated , Their mode of travel is still horses and carts, their roads are still paved with green bricks and full of mud.

But they are completely ignorant and used to it.

Victor could not help but a thought came to mind.

The future has arrived, but it is not evenly distributed.
