"The train was attacked but suffered no harm?"
"They couldn't even do anything to the train? Even a scratch?"
"The rumor about it being as sturdy as the wall of the Ardagan family was true."
"But maybe the attackers had low level strength."
"What kind of low level strength could create a massive explosion?"
"Then, was it a spirit master or spirit grandmaster?"
"No way a spirit grandmaster attacked, right? They were the backbone of our country, so they couldn't easily move."
"But the strength was apparent."
Because of that attack, a lot of people were talking about it. They had never thought that the train would be so sturdy.
The commoners recounted everything they saw. Some guards were even spreading rumors about the enemies being spirit grandmasters, which increased the reputation of the train even more.
When they realized how safe the train was, they finally realized one thing. It seemed that the train would become the most popular method of travel.
The merchant simply laughed while saying, "Hahaha. I could move my items from one city to another at such a high speed, and with this level of safety, there's nothing I can complain about. Even the cost is much lower than a normal carriage. I have to get a contract with the Ardagan family so that my goods can be guaranteed."
Other merchants couldn't help but gasp. Even though three out of the top ten merchants had used the train, it was because they allied themselves with the Ardagan family.
However, with such a neutral merchant recounting the incident and the safety, everyone couldn't help but want to try.
And they would have a hard time competing with the merchants that had been using his train from the beginning.
Little did everyone know, Anna actually used this method to make an agreement with the Greenwood Kingdom.
In their royal palace, Livia lowered her head and lifted her skirt. "I greet Your Majesty."
The king couldn't help but smile. "It seems they didn't treat you badly there, Livia."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Livia still called him with his title since this audience was a formal one. There were still several ministers in the hall, so she had to maintain her image.
"How have you been? Is everything good?" The king asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Everything is running smoothly. And a lot of talents will emerge from the Greenwood Kingdom. I see a lot of them coming from the Greenwood Kingdom." Livia smiled.
"Hoh?" The king looked amused. Even the ministers looked excited. They knew what this implied. Still, there was no way Livia would go back for no reason. "I'm a little surprised about you returning here, especially because of the agreement. Even though I want to talk a bit more, I think we have to get to the point first."
"Yes, Father." Noel had forbidden Livia to return to her country if she became his disciple. But since it was Noel's side that allowed her, there must be something she needed to do in this kingdom. "I have managed to get an agreement with the Ardagan family."
"Oh?" The king and the ministers were curious. If this was a small agreement, there was no way Livia would come back. This meant whatever agreement they made, it would be something that could influence the two kingdoms.
"First of all, allow me to tell you about everything that happened recently regarding this agreement. Not long ago, the Ardagan family's train was attacked by mysterious assailants..."
She recounted everything from the information she had gathered.
They were quite surprised about the power of the train. They had been fixing their road the whole time since they wanted to get the train for themselves.
And that was when the king realized why she recounted the train. The king stood up and asked with a shocked face, "Don't tell me. The reason you come back is..."
Livia nodded. "Yes, Your Majesty. I'm talking about allowing the train to operate in the Greenwood Kingdom. And this is not just for the kingdom, but also for the import and export as well as the future ventures, not only with the Ardagan family, but also with the Muivell Kingdom, the Zaecuria Kingdom, and the Atracaeca Kingdom."
