Chapter 515 Steam roars in the wilderness
After the banquet, all members of the fluorescent mushroom family stayed in the cigar castle and would rest here for a night before going home.
On the terrace.
Mrs. Meryl and Aunt Clara chatted about trivial matters while enjoying the cool breeze.
"This warm season is calmer than previous years. Roman no longer needs to fight in the snowfield, Roland does not need to run around, and even Russell is willing to stay at home." Mrs. Meryl sighed.
In recent years, there have been too many disturbances.
The Second Fall, hard labor in battle, the Demon Exorcism Order, the alliance between the two countries... It can be said that the knights need to keep running to the snowfield.
Every time the father and son go out, Mrs. Meryl will be worried.
And this year's warm season is particularly quiet. Frost was killed by Russell, Frost disappeared without a trace, and there are Fiery Scale Tower and Torrent Scale Tower guarding the territory. It can be said that life has returned to the peace of the previous twenty years.
Pause.
Mrs. Meryl smiled and said, "Even your Rosen still needs to run around. Before, he only needed to welcome and send off guests for the Fluorescent Castle, but now he needs to welcome and send off guests for the Cigar Castle."
"Rosen is born to do this." Aunt Clara smiled, "and he became Russell's diplomat, and received an extra reward. When Royal graduates and follows Russell, they can travel together."
"What are you whispering about? Sister-in-law and sister-in-law, come and play cards. Mother has already sat down at the card table." Aunt Robbie came over.
The women sat at a table.
The men also sat at a table, but they didn't play cards. Instead, they poured a glass of red wine and chatted there. The men of the Fluorescent Mushroom family don't like playing cards. Instead, they like to hide in the study to taste red wine.
Of course.
Russell doesn't like playing cards or hiding in the study to drink. When he hides in the study, he basically reads books.
At this moment, he is also holding a glass of red wine and a newly opened book.
"What book?" asked the eldest brother Roland.
"Marquis Arnold sent it over. It's Nicholas' new work, "Swords of Ice and Frost", the third part of the Su Luo series." Russell replied.
"Well, is the third part finally out? Everyone has been looking forward to it for a long time. When will it be released?"
"The release date of the opera house has not been determined. Now only the book has been released." Russell said, "Nicholas is a little slow this time. He may not be able to catch up with the popularity. It's September now, and the hot summer season is almost over."
"You underestimate your popularity. When I was patrolling the territory, I met many manor foremen who asked me if I could invite the troupe to the manor to perform your "Dragon Rider" and "Dragon Domain Thunder." "
"Indeed." Uncle Rosen also said, "I just came back from the Red Castle a few days ago. When the nobles gathered there, you were the most talked about."
I can only say.
Russell has not yet adapted to the popularity of news on Longmian Continent.
In his hometown on Earth, no matter how lively an event is, it will basically cool down after three or five days of tossing. There are too many new hot spots that will divert people's attention. But in Longmian Continent, there may be only one or two big news in a year or two.
It is normal for nobles and commoners to eat a melon for a year or two.
…
Time flies by like a white horse. In a blink of an eye, it has entered October. The warmth of the hot summer season has passed. The serfs working in the fields have changed into long sleeves and long pants.
“Nico, this year’s cloud cigars are selling well.” Russell took the tobacco elf to inspect the tobacco potion field of the second season.
“Huh?” Nicole didn’t understand.
For two or three months, it has been in a special state of slightly excited spirit. This is the power of evolution brewing in its body.
Suddenly.
A green bird flew from the sky and landed on Russell’s shoulder, with a fat green insect in its beak.
"Huh? Rosie, why did you bring out the fluorescent mushroom worm!" Russell was about to scold, but suddenly found something wrong, "This is not the fluorescent mushroom worm at home, but the one in the birch forest?"
As lucky as the tobacco potion field, a Cordyceps sinensis was born in the fluorescent mushroom potion field in the birch forest this year.
With the elves, the elves will continue to be produced.
"Chiji!" Rosie put the fluorescent mushroom worm in Russell's palm, flapped her wings proudly, and then looked at Nicole.
It still remembered that Nicole also found a tobacco elf worm and showed off in front of Russell. Now it's its turn.
Da Da Da!
There was a sound of horse hooves, and several knights galloped over. The leading knight dismounted and said, "Greetings, sir. Lady Rosie took the fluorescent mushrooms from the birch forest. I and the knights of the Cordyceps Guard hurried over."
"I already know." Russell handed the fluorescent mushrooms to the knight, "You send it back to Cigar Castle."
"Yes, sir!"
The knights left in a hurry, and Russell took Nicole and Rosie and continued to move northwest. Soon they arrived at the Black Oil Mine.
Then they walked straight to the Black Fire Scholar Tower.
"Sir, you are here!" Kirov the Scholar greeted him respectfully. He had been promoted from the head of the steam engine project team to the general manager of the Scholar Tower.
"Has the steam car been tested on the road?"
"We are waiting for your arrival." Kirov said.
Then he met the new head of the steam engine project team, a scholar named Lightley who was hired from the Red Castle at a high salary. Nowadays, most of the scholars who are not doing well in the Red Castle will come to the Blackfire Scholar Tower to try their luck.
"Sir, the steam car is ready and can be put on the road for testing now." Lightley said calmly.
"Hurry up and start the test." Russell said.
The crowd surrounded Russell and came to the asphalt road inside the experimental base, where a strange-looking four-wheeled car was parked.
It was a bit like the front of an old-fashioned train, basically a round bucket with four wheels on it. It was also a bit like the front of a tractor, with an open-air cockpit and no beautification of the welding parts.
The beauty of the machinery was revealed.
Soon, under the command of the scholar Lightley, the steam car began to ignite the fuel water, and steam came out of the chimney after a while.
Pulling the whistle, a loud sound penetrated the entire experimental base.
The next moment, this bulky and primitive steam car began to turn slowly, and then continued to accelerate to a speed of more than 40 kilometers, speeding around the entire experimental base. After several circles, it slowly stopped.
Hualala...
The applause was overwhelming, and Russell couldn't help but applaud. Under his guidance, the first car in Longmian Continent was born.
"Come, let me try." Russell sat in the driver's seat himself.
No one asked Russell to pay attention to safety. A knight who could ride a dragon could easily control such an iron lump.
Soon Russell drove the steam car on the road, and drove directly out of the experimental base and drove onto the main road of the Blackwater River. After a round of wind, he drove the steam car back to the experimental base smoothly, winning a new round of applause.
"Very good." After getting off the car, Russell gave an enthusiastic speech, "The birth of this steam car means that a new era has begun."
He looked at the steam car that was still steaming, and was full of emotion: "The steam roared in the wilderness. In addition to the power of the knight, we have found a new power. Admittedly, this power is still very primitive and ignorant, but I believe that it will shock the world soon!"
