All the races were invited to this meeting before the peace conference, and all the invitations were in accordance with the rules of the peace conference. This made all the races on the Norland Continent focus their attention on Chaos City.
On the seemingly peaceful continent, the border armies of all the races were sharpening their swords in preparation for the war that would ensue after the failure of the peace conference.
Even the dwarves, who had trade relations with all the races, had started to limit the number of merchants entering and leaving Issen Castle. They might even seal off the passage into the castle at any time.
With the arrival of the various races' representatives, the city lord's castle's concierge department started to get busy. Luckily, the city lord's castle was already familiar with the series of meetings and arrangements, so it was not messy.
Dicus walked into the study, and said to Michael, "City Lord, Miss Hill has just sent someone over. She said that the first train's trial run is completed, and it will depart in an hour's time."
"Very good. It's time for us to set off too." Michael stood up and walked to the door.
"City Lord, the Aug Tribe's chief, Auster, the flaming demons' chief, and a few other representatives have just arrived at the city lord's castle. Do you want to meet them first?" Dicus reminded.
"There's plenty of time to meet them tomorrow. They can't be compared to the railway workers who have worked hard for countless days and nights." Michael walked out of the door without any reluctance.
"Alright." Dicus kept the folder in his hand, and quickly followed after Michael.
…
In a forest about 15 kilometers north of Chaos City, there was a straight railway running through the forest.
At the end of the railway was a stone wall. At this moment, a steel monster was being dragged out of the stone wall by a few orcs, and stopped in front of the stone wall.
This was a steel monster that was five meters tall and over 20 meters long. Its long chimney reached into the sky as if it had grown a horn.
The sides of the railway were filled with fatigue-looking workers and designers, but their eyes were shining.
On the train, there were also 10-odd technicians doing the final inspection and debugging to ensure that the train could depart successfully.
After three months of hard work and the hard work of thousands of outstanding blacksmiths and designers, they finally created this steel monster! Only they knew how much effort they had put in.
"Young Mistress, the news has been sent to the city lord's castle and Mamy's," the secretary said to Hill, who was standing at the side.
"Alright, then let's wait for the City Lord and Mr. Meg to witness this moment that might change the course of the world." Hill nodded slightly and smiled as he looked at the steel behemoth that was reflecting a metallic luster under the sunlight.
Although she had already become the most famous career woman in Chaos City, or even the Norland Continent, the voices of doubt didn't stop just because she had led Buffett Bank to greater heights over the years.
The most they talked about was that she had only inherited Buffett Banks. No matter who sat in that position, they would be able to make a lot of money.
The Hill disdained to defend such ridiculous words, but she had always wanted to make her own breakthrough outside of Buffett Bank.
The appearance of the steam locomotive allowed her to see this possibility. It was a potential market that could surpass the banks, a possibility that could change the world.
…
Meg, who had just brought Amy back to the restaurant, met the staff sent by The Hill. Then, he brought Amy onto the other party's horse-drawn carriage and rushed to the steam locomotive research center.
The steam engine had changed the world before, and Meg believed that it could still change the world here. With the help of capital and politics, it would change people's lives and the way they traveled at an even faster speed.
And today was a historic moment. The results of the hard work of countless staff over the past few months would finally be revealed. The first steam locomotive on the Norland Continent would have its first official test run on the railway!
"Father, where are we going?" Amy asked curiously as she sat in the horse-drawn carriage and looked at Meg, who couldn't hide his excitement. She had rarely seen such an expression on her father's face.
"To the north. Take Amy to the train." Mag smiled. As the initiator of this project, he had invested quite a lot of emotions into it, and had even participated in a few of the debugging and research works. He was just as anxious and expectant as all the staff members about the results of this official road operation.
"Train? A car on fire? "Amy blinked.
"No, it's a car that runs on fire." Meg shook his head with a smile.
"Oh, then it must be burning the horse's tail, right? Why don't we try it now? " Amy lifted a corner of the carriage's curtain and looked at the four unicorns that were running wildly in front of them. She was eager to give it a try, and a bluish-purple flame had already lit up on her fingertips.
"It's not burning the horse's tail. Amy will know in a while." Meg quickly grabbed Amy's little hand and looked apologetically at the staff whose eyes were gradually widening due to nervousness.
"Oh." Amy put down the carriage's curtain obediently. Then, she turned her gaze to the staff, and curiously asked, "Uncle, are you very hot? Why is there so much sweat on your forehead? "
"Ahem … I … I might be wearing a little too much." That staff tugged at his slightly thin uniform awkwardly. He had heard about this little princess from Amy's before, and knew that she was a little magic prodigy with two unbelievably powerful masters.
The horse-drawn carriage left Chaos City and headed north.
Meg and Amy arrived at the research and development center almost at the same time as Michael and the rest.
"Mr. Mak, you're here too," Michael said with a smile as he got down from the black Qilin's back, and looked at Meg, who was coming out of the horse-drawn carriage.
"City Lord." Meg nodded slightly at Michael as a greeting. His gaze landed on the steam locomotive that was parked quietly on the tracks at the side. The angular front of the locomotive was distinct, and the black metal body was giving off a cold metallic glow.
"Uncle City Lord, are you here to take the train too?" Amy came out of the horse-drawn carriage, and looked at Michael in surprise.
"Yes. Little Boss, are you here to take the train with Mr. Mak too?" Michael asked Amy with a smile.
"Mm-hmm. Apart from Master, no one knows fire better than me. If there's any danger, I can protect Father," Amy said with a nod.
"That's great. Then, Little Boss will have to protect me too," Michael said seriously.
"This … I'll have to think about it." Amy rested her chin on her hand as she pondered.
"City Lord, Mr. Meg, you're here." Right then, Mr. Hill walked up, and said to the two of them, "The first steam locomotive is ready to depart. There's still 15 minutes before it departs. Do you have anything to say to everyone?"
"10 minutes. The three of us will take three minutes each," Michael said with a smile as he boarded the train first.
