Chapter 714: Chapter 411: Four People from Tianyuan City (4K)
Pan Shi City and the main city of Lakehaven Lake were incredibly distant from each other, with a continuous mountain range and magnificent rivers and lakes lying between them.
However, this was already within the territory of the Tai Xuan Alliance, where every few dozen to a hundred kilometers at least one domain was situated.
There were villages and towns, cities and people.
In such a region, not to mention Monster Overlords, not even a large Monster Tribe could be seen, at most there were some small monster camps, minor tribes, breeding like stains in some remote, rarely visited places.
High-order Monsters were extremely rare.
Occasionally, there might be a Third-order or Fourth-order flying monster passing through the territory.
For ordinary caravans, traveling these roads still required vigilance and caution. However, for the Steel Train, armed to the teeth with several Fourth-order Strongmen on board, the wilderness of the Taixuan Realm was a smooth and unobstructed safe land.
Even during the early to mid stages of the Red Fog Disaster Moon, the Steel Train could tear through the waves of monsters, reaching the front line defense strongholds, let alone during peacetime.
The train sped along its way, and although Lord Shepherd was not aboard, through the descriptions of Irene and others, he also roughly glimpsed the splendid grandeur of the Tai Xuan rivers and mountains.
It was a bit of a pity not to have seen it with his own eyes.
But he would see it sooner or later, so there was no rush at this moment.
The Steel Train, originating from Pan Shi City, passed through many official cities along the way, several of which were level-seven major cities. However, when referring to official major cities, only Lakehaven, Panstone, and Red Maple were the regional administrative and military hubs.
Among them, Pan Shi City had the poorest economic level. After all, the original purpose of establishing Pan Shi City was to monitor the Goblin Kingdom situated in the Dark Great Forest.
Even if Pan Shi City had the poorest economic development among the three cities, it was still far more prosperous than the other few official major cities.
As official major cities, they naturally had various administrative institutions, which naturally attracted numerous professionals. Compared to the cities managed by individuals or groups, they naturally had tremendous advantages.
He heard that the main cities of some Great Lords had defense installations solid as a fortress, yet when it came to prosperity... those cities had little to do with prosperity.
"For construction and all, it still has to be Tai Xuan Officials."
"It's a pity, though, that the Spiritual Link network can now only carry out ultra-long-distance conversations and voice transmissions. If it could transmit pictures or support video chats, that would be even more wonderful."
Mu Yuan thought somewhat greedily.
The Steel Train, having run for less than a day, slowly pulled into the northern station of Tianze City, and travelers from various parts of the Twilight Dominion got off one after another.
Some of them casually carried or embraced parcels larger than themselves as they confidently strode towards the station exit.
There were also some whose hands were empty, but the armor or Robes they wore were clearly not ordinary, radiant with the faint luster of precious artifacts.
Others were followed by a dozen or even dozens of uniformly dressed, well-equipped Elite Warriors. Under the guard of these warriors, they walked out very stylishly.
This scene filled many with envy.
Inside Tianze City's northern station, some people were still wearing ordinary clothes with distinct Lanxing Profound Country style. Others were dressed in leather armor, metal armor, or Robes, and the two seemed out of place with each other.
From attire to demeanor to temperament, everything was distinct.
The majority of the former group were ordinary citizens of Xuan Country who had integrated into the Eternal World just over four months ago.
Four months was actually not short.
Many 'beta test' Lords had become imbued with the fierce spirit of the Eternal World in less than two months, and that was with the first month spent using computers as a medium; one month was sufficient otherwise.
Yet, the mass of Greenhand professionals who integrated after the world merged still lived mostly within the defense circle of the main city of Lakehaven Lake.
Many of these people had neither seen a monster nor killed a chicken; at most, they had encountered some oddly-shaped troops, which greatly broadened their horizons.
"We've finally arrived in Tianze City; we'll be studying here for two years," said a young man in plain clothes, filled with excitement.
"Yes, I've heard that the educational faculty of the academies in Tianze City is the best in the entire Great Domain, and we are so fortunate to be able to study here."
"What luck, isn't this just our exceptional talent? Getting into Lakehaven Academy and Great Lake Academy is incredibly difficult, and our arrival here is all thanks to diligence and effort, not something to be summed up by the word 'luck'!"
"Actually, having money and connections works too... Uh, why are you all silent, did I say something wrong?"
"Let's talk about something else, shall we? Do you see those accompanied by a dozen or so guards? Aren't they the so-called Miracle Lords? Speaking of luck, the Lords who were selected early to enter the Eternal Continent are the real lucky ones. I also want to be a Lord, recruiting a few fox ladies or Elf maids."
"You're thinking too much. From what I understand, the majority of troops controlled by the Lords are either the short, stout, ugly Goblins or just ordinary Spearmen, Shieldmen; beautiful Elves are not so common. However, we shouldn't sell ourselves short.
We are the first cohort of students at Lakehaven Academy, the pride of the heavens, and it's not impossible for us to establish our own territories and command legions in the future."
"Besides, compared to being a small Lord in a backward village, I'd rather make my way in a large city; that's much better than being a village leader."
...
There were three major high-order educational institutions in the main city of Lakehaven Lake, namely Lakehaven Academy, Great Lake Academy, and Heavenly Splendor Academy.
