"Eh, what's that?"
Duo Lai pointed towards the distance.
A few hundred ters away from the train tracks, several figures could be seen.
They were dressed in old armor or leather gear, seemingly holding no weapons in their hands, but dragging a large woven sack behind them.
"What are they doing there?"
Duo Lai asked, then turned to look at the all-knowing Lord.
The all-knowing Mr. Mu fell into thought.
This question... he was pondering it too.
They didn't look like adventurers.
"They're scavengers," Isloa explained, adjusting her decorative scholarly glasses, "This is the area the train passes through, and as it does, it inevitably kills so of the monsters that attack. Thus, bits and pieces of monster carcasses are scattered on the ground."
"So practitioners who dare not fight monsters will choose to pick up monster corpses near the railway tracks, collecting Soul Sand released from the monsters, Remnant Souls, and even harvesting materials from rare monsters."
"There's quite a number of these scavengers, and they form a large group of professionals, aside from mainstream adventurers, explorers, and travelers. I've heard that so scavengers have even ford guilds to compete for so 'scavenging treasured spots'."
Duo Lai suddenly realized.
Mu Yuan reflected.
Indeed, it's only when you step out into the world that you witness all its facets, like the scavenger community, a product that was bound to erge in this era.
Beyond scavengers, there may be many era-specific products that are hard to see from his perspective, his point of view.
But on second thought, Isloa is quite the shut-in herself, how does she know so much?
"Irene told , I'm not really an encyclopedia,"
she said.
Although, she had glanced over information related to scavengers when learning about Tai Xuan and collecting various data.
...
"Dear passengers, please note that the train will soon arrive at Tianze City's Zehu Station. Passengers who plan to disembark should take their personal belongings and accompanying troops and exit in an orderly fashion."
"Dear passengers, please note..."
Mu Yuan awoke from his ditative cultivation.
Looking out the window, the Steel Train was slowly entering Tianze City, passing through the Enchantnt like a water curtain, creating ripples in its wake.
On the platform, one could see powerful individuals everywhere, well-ordered troops.
In the distance, tall buildings rose like swords piercing the sky.
A river hung high in the air, flowing through the city.
This was Tianze City, the Tai Xuan Alliance's main city within the Twilight Dominion.
"We have a long way to go to make Tianyuan City as grand and magnificent as this place,"
Mu Yuan sighed.
Isloa was equally astonished, "The capital of the Eagle Kingdom where I used to live seems almost like a small rural town compared to this. Just the thought of Tianyuan City becoming as grand and majestic as this place is thrilling."
She gazed into the distance.
In such a majestic city, one felt as insignificant as an ant, and legends were scarcely any greater.
But in Isloa's eyes, there was no sense of inferiority, only a blazing fighting spirit. Her work was directly related to how grand Tianyuan City could beco. She was so great!
In fact, Tianze City's current state is not only the result of decades of developnt but also thanks to the relentless efforts of Tai Xuan.
Such treatnt is reserved for an official's core city. Discover more content at empire
Normally, even if a Lord were to spend ten tis longer building and managing their city, it would be hard to achieve half the grandeur of this place.
Compared to Tianze City, Han Yue City is also like a small rural town.
But both Mu Yuan and Isloa had confidence.
One day, Tianyuan City will beco a city of the world, living up to the na 'Tianyuan'."
...
Traveling from Tianze City to Xuan Du in the Tai Xuan Great Domain requires transferring to another train and even changing stations.
There is only one train station in the whole of Tianze City that has trains going to the Tai Xuan Territory.
The cross-domain train.
Not only is the ticket price much higher than that of the Steel Train, but there are also certain conditions for the purchasers.
This naturally poses no problem for the Lord of Tianyuan Territory.
The Lords traveling to the military parade could even have their ticket expenses reimbursed.
Tianyuan City has its own fixed base in Tianze City, which was set up by the entourage that ca with Irene and stayed in Tianze City.
They had all necessary procedures for buying tickets and boarding the train ready well in advance.
"Is this the cross-domain station?"
At first glance, it didn't look much different from the previous Steel Train station, except that the entire row of trains appeared more futuristic, with sleek lines and soft light patterns flashing across them.
Mu Yuan boarded the train once again.
He also personally experienced the difficulty of traveling long distances in the Eternal World.
This was still under the circumstance of the Tai Xuan Alliance having a convenient rail network.
The train set off again.
For the first half of the day, the train still sped across the vast wilderness, passing villages and small towns.
It continued until it reached the edge of the wilderness.
"Dear passengers, please note that the train will now perform space travel. Please remain seated and fasten your seat belts. Do not move around unnecessarily."
At the edge of the wilderness, a silver station stood.
The railway line winding up to this point suddenly sloped upwards. Like a roller coaster, the train surged up the incline, and at the end...
The tracks ca to an abrupt halt.
The train shot off the rails, trembling and shaking.
The earth rapidly shrank away in the field of vision.
Mu Yuan saw the end of the land, the end of the Great Domain, which also abruptly stopped at the station, as if there was an endless abyss beyond.
