Chapter 398 Leave (Part 1)
The neighbors who should have said goodbye also greeted him at noon, with an envious look in their eyes. The member structure of the small town is half of the indigenous people and half of them come here from outside. They have also visited cities outside, and most of them want to move out of the small town at some time in the future.
The station is similar to its original appearance, because almost no one will come back or leave now, so the staff here have not even shoveled out the snow in front of the station and just sat in the room. The arrival of the Empire Re-Section will take more than a month, and it will take a long time to prepare.
The snow is not pure white, it feels a bit gray. As the end of the year approaches, the factories in the small town are showing more and more unmatched vitality.
After buying the ticket, Cassia and the others sat on a hard chair and waited. There was a printed latest timetable on the board next to it, but the train did not arrive on time according to the time above. It was more than an hour late, and the train, painted white, slowly stopped on the side of the platform in the rumbling sound. The locks on the iron fence were all broken. If you want to change them, you have to wait until the re-train comes. There will be no one here normally.
When Cassia and the others walked over, several strong men in flight attendant costumes walked out of the train with iron sticks, as if they were going to knock out the frozen ice cubes on some parts of the train.
Most of the trains are empty, with sparse people, and you can count them at a glance. There are no trains passing by in the frontier railway lines throughout the year. The timetables at each station are in half a month or a month. And the trains parked in these places do not expect to fill up the guests or something. The money for maintaining their operation and maintenance is also all the Imperial. This may be the only place that the Imperial can be praised. At least in addition to using airships, the Imperial really allowed the railway lines to fill the entire country.
This is Lilia's first time taking the train. She also took the train when she came here a few years ago. But at that time she was still held in her mother's arms, and her eyes were not open for long.
The things around her might be very novel to her. After the train started, the scenery outside the window was the same. She kept moving, her eyes were shining, half-kneeling on the chair, climbing the window with her hands to see the scenery that was flowing rapidly outside. It was a snow-white scene, and you could see the shadow of Lilac Mountain getting smaller and smaller not far away.
The town was soon surrounded by the white scenery around it and disappeared from Cassia's vision. For some reason, he suddenly felt relieved at this moment.
Lilia looked at the unchanging scenery outside and was completely tired in an hour or two. She was now sleeping in a slump on the chair, her long eyelashes moved from time to time, and she didn't have to think too much about the quiet age.
My mother was in a similar state on the side, resting with her eyes closed on her soft chair. There were always strange things on the train, which was very powerful to make people sleep.
Cassia couldn't rest and couldn't calm down. She took out the book and read it. She was not a good candidate at this time. She brought a few books back, but they were still lying honestly in Cassia's gift box, and no page was turned over by Cassia. During the days when she waited for the snow to stop at home, she couldn't read a line of words. She took out the book and opened it. Her eyes were indeed conveying the contents of the book into her brain continuously, but the meanings represented by those words could not be thought out.
This state continued on Cassia until the train carried him and his mother and sister through half the empire and came to a bustling main city, which was somewhat reduced.
The sound of the whistle woke everyone who was sleeping on the train. Cassia, who was sleeping, opened her eyes when the train slowed down, put down her luggage in advance, and waited for the train to stop.
A considerable flow of people could be seen outside, and the lamps connecting the current were hung high above everyone's heads, emitting cold light. A thin layer of steam was floating on the ground, which was gushing out from under the train. The temperature here was far less than the coldness of the small town, and even snowflakes had not even fallen.
Lilia's eyes were wide open, and the electric light attracted all her eyes. Even if she was exposed to the bright light, her eyes hurt, and after watching for a long time, she would have a dazed glare. But for her, this might be the first time she saw such a strange lamp. She was picked up by her mother and walked out of the station. Lilia also wanted to reach out to touch the electric light on her head, but the height difference was too much. It was not a height that could be reached by reaching out. In the end, the small hand she waved could only catch the air.
The place where Cassia gets off the train is considered the terminal of this train. It is in an area called Messeria. In terms of its prosperity, it is definitely not as good as some areas along Manoma and the Endless Sea coast, but it only falls by about half a level. It is not known for its industrial development. The main area of Messeria is a vast plain, and it is rare to see the uplifting terrain on the horizon. The main development of agriculture here is the main food and vegetables and fruits of the empire.
One of the places to be produced is that there is no coldness brought by metal objects, and there is a kind of natural warmth. Although Cassia only feels the bleakness of winter now, agricultural planting technology has also been vigorously developed and developed by Avalon for a period of time in the history of the empire. The general time was when the empire was studying tranquilizers. Many greenhouses for cultivation were built on the plains, ensuring that even in winter, the output of grain and vegetable to other parts of the empire will not drop much.
Moreover, one of the affiliated schools of the seminary, the branch of the Imperial Biology School on agricultural research, also established a branch here, which is one of the best schools in the Messelia region. In the future, there were plans to let my sister go to this school. Cassia conducted a survey. The Imperial Biology School is one of the few schools in the empire that are less involved in the seminary and military schools. The other educational environments are not out of touch with the Empire, and all kinds of resources should be available. In addition to these reasons, there is probably another important factor, that is, it is much closer to Manomalay. Compared with the small town, the distance is reduced by about half.
Having a lot of considerations in mind, Cassia finally chose such a place that is more or less far away from the machine.
