Chapter 55: The Train Station Illuminated by Sunlight
Seeing Eidolon looking at him without moving his eyes, Lorraine Hill panicked for a moment.
"Uh, does it look similar...Uh, it kind of looks like it." How could it not be the same? It was carved based on her photo.
"This...how do you say this." Lorraine Hill avoided Eidolon's gaze and stroked the hair beside his ears with his fingers uneasily.
"It seems there is some misunderstanding. In fact, it is not a big deal. It just happened to happen, so..."
"So? That's Lorraine!" Ye Ling grabbed Lorraine Hill's hand, walked around her and kept observing her, comparing it to the statue in the distance, her expression was extremely excited, and her eyes seemed to have stars.
"let me see."
"Wow, that's Lorraine." Just when Ye Ling was about to cheer, Lorraine Hill couldn't help but covered his mouth.
"Okay, okay, we'll talk about this later, let's go first." She glanced around and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that no one paid attention to Ye Ling's casual words.
After leaving the street square of Huifeng Port, the two walked into a street dessert shop.
After promising to buy the little guy a lot of delicious snacks, Eidolon stopped asking about the various deeds in Lorraine Hill's stories.
Afterwards, the two of them sat down by the window on the second floor of the dessert shop and waited for their order.
It is the beginning of spring now, and the coastal cities are very warm. Because it is afternoon, there are not many pedestrians on the streets. The sun shines slantly on the table, making it a little quiet for a while.
"Okay, I won't embarrass Sister Luo Lan, Huhu, but as compensation, Luo Lan will make me delicious food."
After the two sat down, Lorraine Hill rubbed her forehead and finally appeased the curious little guy. When she heard Ye Ling's words, she had no choice but to nod helplessly, indicating that it was okay.
"Hehe, I feel like I have gained a lot from this trip." Ye Ling looked at Lorraine Hill and began to imagine in his mind that after returning to China with Lorraine, he would enjoy the feeling of being in the spotlight with her.
This is an experience I have never had before. Should I take the opportunity to make a name for myself? While waiting for cold drinks and snacks, Eidolon was stuck in a difficult choice. She clenched her hand into a small fist and held it solemnly under her chin, turning her head to think from time to time.
"I feel like I need to have a majestic nickname. That would be cool."
Seeing Eidolon immersed in the wonderful vision of the future, Lorraine Hill also felt slightly amused at this time, and then relaxed.
Maybe it's time for me to face the real situation. No matter how hard we hide our identities, there will always be a day when they are exposed. Ye Ling is relatively easy to coax, but others are not so relaxed.
It is estimated that Mrs. Filia and Lan Lier will be surprised.
After the two of them sat for a while, the clerk brought something good. Next to Ye Ling was a large glass of fiery red fruit wine. The bubbles kept rising and bursting in the glass, splashing out tiny mist of water, giving people a refreshing feeling. In the porcelain plate in front of him is ice cream made of large squares of pink, green and white, with some vanilla in it, exuding the sweet aroma of cream.
Lorraine Hill's side is a glass of iced cranberry juice, paired with a forest-style cake made with chocolate garnishes. The juice of the blueberry is refreshing and sweet, while the chocolate cake has a refreshing sweetness. After the cream is tired, the juice is used to neutralize it to maintain a better taste.
Since Crancia's industry took shape, some convenient alchemy equipment began to spread to the city, such as cooling devices for making ice cream and preserving freshness.
In an era before widespread electricity, convenient alchemy equipment replaced the use of electrical appliances. Although there are some requirements on the user (requiring magic power), it is more convenient and is not restricted by wires and power supply.
On their way back by boat, the two heard that some large cruise ships would be equipped with special refrigerated cabins to store food. This is why many meat products from the Gufiya grassland are processed and transported directly to the coast of Crancia on refrigerated ships to supplement people's daily dietary needs.
As for inland transportation, it's a different story.

After eating cold drinks and snacks, Lorraine Hill came to the train station at Returnwind Port.
The large gray rocks are polished very smooth, revealing the elegant texture. When the walls and stone pillars are more than ten meters high, the people standing below will feel a sense of tallness and grandeur that needs to be looked up at.
This newly built railway station is like a huge church, standing on the north side of the city. The main entrance in front is where the train leaves.
Standing inside this train station, you can feel the freshness brought by the emptiness above your head. A little sunlight shines in from the tall stained glass windows and falls on the opposite wall, reflecting the colorful painted patterns. A little dust is in the air. Floating, showing the trajectory of this light.
When Lorraine Hill and Ye Ling walked into the train station, they both looked around curiously. Lorraine Hill had naturally taken a train in his previous life and had a general understanding of the process and architecture, but such a church-style train station was a bit novel.
But this doesn't seem to be bad, it looks sturdier and more spacious, making it less stuffy and depressing. The girl commented secretly in her heart.
Nowadays, Crancia has initially built the first arterial railway track, which starts from the southern coast, connects the former Rurna and Verga areas, then reaches the hinterland of Crancia, goes to the holy land in the north, and finally ends in Gufia. Stop at the northernmost end of the grassland.
The construction of this railway track first started during the war, during which it was used to transport troops and food. It was not until the victory that the remaining part was extended to the southern part of Crancia. It took a total of about three years.
between.
Although the machinery used for construction is not as good as in the past, with the help of alchemists with extraordinary abilities, many things will be more flexible.
Leveling and tamping the earth, these processes can now be accomplished with corresponding spells. Some of the heavy work of moving mountains and laying paving can also be left to specialized golems. It can be said that the current technological trend of Crancia is not exactly the same as the industrial era remembered by Lorraine Hill.
With the help of extraordinary skills, many things will be more flexible and the methods will no longer be the same.
Perhaps, they will eventually find a new path.
Lorraine Hill was filled with emotion as he looked at the patterns spliced with colorful glass in the stained window. Among them were soldiers holding swords, mages holding wooden staffs, orcs shepherding horses on horseback, and doctors carrying baskets of herbal medicines. There are women sitting spinning and workers holding spanners on their shoulders. Together they form the scene inside the train station.
While it has a sacred charm, it also makes people feel not far away, as if these figures are right next to them, and they are similar and identical existences to themselves.
The magnificent interior wall of the train station is composed of a line of large characters made of pitch-black stone carvings, which are so eye-catching in the dappled sunlight.
‘We will create everything we dream of with our hands! ’
