Chapter 673 Train

"Here's the address." said Nabe while giving a piece of paper.

Picking up the paper, "Seriously?" asked Angus.

"Well, he is quite eccentric. So, good luck talking to him." said Nabe.

"Alright, I will give the half payment before we leave this place." said Angus.

"Sure. Take your time. I hear that Absolute Red is very hard to create." said Nabe.

"You sure are informed as always." said Angus.

"Knowledge and information are necessary tools for a merchant." said Nabe sarcastically while Jayna giggled at it.

Then, Angus calls Anna to leave the shop. The little troublemaker plays with Mira, who keeps drinking her milk. Anna kept talking while sitting on the flying pillow and wandering around.

Leaving the Rosemade shop, they start walking towards a particular metallic building underground. Currently, they are located inside sector six.

Although Sector six and Sector seven are adjacent from one with the others, there is still a large amount of distance between their current location and their destination. To handle traveling problems, the dwarf provides a transportation facility to travel between sectors.

Coming out from the underground stair, they are welcomed by a fast-moving giant metallic train across the track covered with various dimmed blue runes.

"Angus.. Angus… What is that?! It's so fast!!" asked Anna excitedly.

"I believe it is something like a fast-moving train." commented Angus.

"Train?! What is that? Is it delicious?" asked Anna.

"No… Anna. It is metallic transportation like a carriage but could bring many people at once. Some big advanced kingdoms are already using this means to transport people. I hear it is quite expensive compared to the usual transportation since it is run by mana and core." said Angus.

"Did we have them?" asked Anna.

"Sadly no. Though we may have it sooner." said Angus.

"So, can Anna eat it?" asked Anna innocently.

"No, Anna. It is not food. The train is…" replied Jayna while she explained more about the train.

As Jayna also gets Angus' memory from his past life, she also knows something about the train and not just from the book. In the meantime, Angus decides to check the train schedule and finds they need to wait a few minutes for the train towards sector seven.

The train is free for everyone to use. Still, they must check for the train schedule before riding one. As they wait for the train, Anna and Mira wander around the station, followed by Jayna, Lenora, and Mini Porky.

"Hmm… I didn't know the Heart kingdom had such extensive knowledge about trains." chimed Darren from the side.

"Did the Eternal Kingdom also have trains for long-distance transportation?" asked Angus.

"No. That will just be a waste of resources. Every capable vampire could travel faster or at least the same speed as an ordinary train during the night. Having trains is just a waste of resources for our kind." replied Darren.

'Right. If I am not wrong, the high-grade vampire was recorded to be faster than the speed of sound during the night. It seems this is not only a baseless rumor.' thought Angus.

"Still, these trains are not ordinary ones. Their speed and runes are completely different from the ones I knew. I could see it is many times more advanced than those trains." added Darren.

"Yes. It seems the dwarf is showing their capability this time." said Angus.

"I wonder if it is a good thing." said Darren.

"Hm??" asked Angus.

"I noticed this work is not entirely from the dwarf race. The dwarves are famous for their craftsmanship and metallurgy. However, magical engineering and runes are more like gnomes and gremlin expertise." said Darren.

"Even if it does not create a conflict now, it will definitely create a conflict in the future." added Darren.

"Hmm… Did Master Darren think those races would be gone in the future?" asked Angus.

"I can't say for sure. Gremlins and gnomes may not look like a combatant-oriented race, but they are actually one of the most feared races in the past." said Darren.

"Feared?" asked Angus.

"I will not go into detail, but those races created many mass destructive weapons in the past. Once in a few hundred years, they will produce something crazy. Maybe that's why those gnomes are so chaotic while gnomes are such bookworms." Darren said.

"Hahahaha…. Yes, that's probably true." laughed Angus.

As the main head researcher, Angus knows the Research Center hires few people from gremlin and gnome races. From his experience, the rumor about these two races has come out to be true.

The green-skinned gremlin always comes in a few groups. They are a bunch of rascals who like to produce something explosive but have great minds at magical engineering. However, they are very disorganized and can never stay still.

They also will use everything in their surroundings to create something explosive. One moment you take your eyes off them, they may make something dangerous like a bomb or unstable explosive weapon.

In contrast, the gnomes have a very calm and chill nature. Their race is famous for having a great mind regarding architecture, alchemy, and runes. They are the best people for making an impenetrable stronghold.

However, they work very slowly and it takes forever to produce a single plan for a new building. They also like to waste their time reading books out loud.

Still, their knowledge of alchemy and runes inscriptions is top-notch. They could even script complex runes and concoct potent potions during battle despite only low-grade levels.

'Most people find their nature quite disturbing. However, Master Valeron somehow could provide for their needs and control them.' thought Angus inwardly.

*Wung* *Wung* After a few minutes, a train suddenly stopped on the nearby platform. As the people emerge from the train, the number six on the metallic body turns seven. This shows that the train is going toward sector seven for its next destination.

"Wooahhh… It's so huge." said Anna in the air.

"Anna, come down. This is our train." called Jayna from below.

"Did we eat it now?" asked Anna.

"Anna, it's not food. Come down first." replied Jayna.

"Okay. Mira, let's go down before we eat those wusy metal." said Anna.

Mira didn't reply, only gave a silent nod.

After that, a few dwarf employees start to call everyone going to sector seven towards the train. Angus and the others enter the train through the automatic door. Angus feels like he is back on the earth, traveling through a high-speed train.

'This brings back some memories.' thought Angus with a smile.

Jayna could only roll her eyes at his thought. She knows the memories Angus is talking about. It is not the memory of him traveling the train but fighting inside the high-speed train against people while hiding it from the ordinary passenger.

'Those really a good time.' thought Angus inwardly.

"Angus, Big sis, why are we inside the wusy metal? Are we going to be eaten?" asked Anna while tilting her head.

"Anna, we are not going to be eaten. This is just like the carriage." said Jayna.

"Then, will we eat wusy metal?" asked Anna again.

"This girl…" said Angus with a facepalm.

After waiting a few minutes, the train's door closed after a short warning before the train released a buzzing sound. Angus could feel a large amount of mana powering the whole train. *Wuzz* The outside scene turns blurry as the train moves at high speed.

"Woooahhh…" exclaimed Anna.

Before she could comment further, the train suddenly stopped and opened the door.

"We have arrived at Sector Seven. Please don't forget your belonging and thank you for using our service." a sound was heard throughout the train.

"That was super fast. It almost feels like teleporting." commented Angus.

Jayna and Lenora also agreed with Angus' statement. The train is too fast. On the other hand, Anna begins pouting and grumbling.

"Not fair!! Anna still does not want to ride more." grumbled Anna while cutely pouting.

Jayna couldn't help but hug the pouting Anna and pat her head.

"Alright.. Alright… How about we buy some meat first after this?" asked Angus.

"Yay!! Meat!!" replied Anna happily.

The other passerby only glanced at Angus and the others while shaking their heads.

'What a spoiled brat!' thought everyone inwardly.

Still, they didn't dare to say a word. In fact, no one dares to approach Angus and the others from the moment they enter the train station.

Coming out of the train station, they find another less crowded street with many shops. The scenery is similar to sector six except for their street name and number. Angus looks at the address again while shaking their head.

"Clover Street block seven, number seven, Sector Seven. No matter how I think of it, this Ingrel is lucky to get such a place." said Angus.

Clover is a plantation that symbolizes fortune and seven is a magical number for luck and fortune. The symbol and number are not just superstitious stuff like in Angus' past life but could genuinely be explained in a magical scientific way.

As a researcher, he knows the meaning behind this symbolic stuff. Numbers and symbols are also important variables when reading complicated things like Fate or the World's will.
