"Let's go, everyone sit down~"
The flight attendant walked through the second-floor hall of the ship and asked the passengers to sit down and not move.
Amidst the blast of whistles and the sound of spouting, a white passenger ship slowly broke away from the shore of Emenas, sailed into the wide Blue River, went upstream, and headed west.
The rolling waves continued to roll up at the stern, leaving a long wake. After the ship had sailed for a while and gradually stabilized, the passengers were allowed to move freely. They climbed onto the top deck in groups of three or two, or came to the guardrail to look at the magnificent scenery on both sides of the river.
Among the crowd, there was a girl in a white and light blue summer dress. She was also leaning on the railing on the top of the boat, looking at the scenery in the distance.
The huge river valley is flanked by steep and straight cliffs. Under these hundreds of meters high crimson cliffs, the passenger ship is very small. It moves along the river channel on one side of the cliff and may not get any sunlight for a whole day, as it is shrouded in the broad shadow of the cliff.
Such routes are obviously cooler and more comfortable in the summer, so many passengers take the ferry. Although it is not as fast as the airship, it is cheaper and more affordable.
Most of the passengers on the cruise ship are from Cransia, and a small number are residents of the Empire. The instability in the Empire in recent years has caused the originally arrogant local residents to reconsider whether to seek refuge in western countries. Now there are many people on the ship comparing the current situation of the two countries.
"I think you might as well move directly to Cransia. Life here is much more stable. As long as you work hard, you will never go hungry." An aunt said to a young imperial couple. Originally, the two of them just wanted to travel to Cransia and take a look at the current situation of the western countries.
"Nowadays, the laws and public security in all parts of Crancia are very sound. Even if you don't hire an escort, you can still travel safely without worrying about encountering robbers."
With the development of food and industry, healthy adults can support themselves and their families through labor, so fewer and fewer people take the risk of becoming robbers. The public security in Ricklancia has been getting better and better over the years.
"That's a bit exaggerated. Some remote places are uninhabited and difficult to guarantee safety. We two only dared to come out because we have some strength." This was true. The silver-haired girl took a look when she passed by and found that both of them had the strength of Sequence 4, which was already very high among ordinary people.
"Hey, you won't believe me even if I tell you. You'll know when you go there." The aunt was a little angry when she saw that her kindness was doubted, so she stopped talking.
Seeing her lover making the other person angry, the girl next to her stepped forward to smooth things over, and then they continued to talk about Clancy.
"Travel is very convenient nowadays. To go far away, you usually take the train. If you're nearby, you can also pay to take the official short-distance bus. It's huge, you've definitely never seen it before."
"Really? Then I must try it myself when the time comes." The man said this, but his expression still showed some disbelief.
The few of them chatted in this way until lunch time approached, then they stopped for a while.
The wind from the river blew out, carrying with it moist water vapor, making him feel slightly cool when blowing on his body. Loran Hill stood on the top of the boat, gently pressing the sun hat on his head with his hand, feeling the summer breeze and the waves.
This time when she returned to Clancia, she deliberately did not fly back directly, but took private transportation to experience people's current travel experience.
I have to say that its comfort level has been greatly improved compared to before.
In the past, crossing this vast river valley between the Sigh Mountains cost at least 60 silver coins, and the journey was not always safe, with a bumpy ride. However, with the development of Cransian industry, the number of riverboats has increased significantly, and the cost has gradually decreased. However, rather than transporting passengers, the large ships on the Blue Stream River are more used to transport goods between the East and the West, for mutual trade.
I don’t know where they are now.
This morning, she heard various descriptions about Clancy from the passengers, many of which were related to life, such as travel, school, medical care, etc. It can be seen that with the development of industry, some national infrastructure has been quickly established, thus bringing about strong demand. Many industries have made rapid progress and development in recent years.
The sun in the sky was still bright, shining on the river, reflecting a deep blue light. Loran Hill sat quietly on the passenger ship, listening to everyone's description, and then arrived at the end of the journey, the Red Gravel City of Clancia.
This once famous steel city is now even more bustling with activity. A lot of river water is pumped up by water trucks and transported to large workshops in the city to cool down and control reactions.
White steam rises from the cooling tower, carrying away a huge amount of heat. People pay attention to the output of various industries in the city. It is no longer just some marginal products. Rich minerals and diversified commodities have become the local characteristics and focus.
After visiting various cities along the way and admiring the scenery of Crancia, Loran Hill finally arrived at the current capital.
Outside the city of Solander is a flat and fertile wilderness, where patches of pale golden sunflowers now grow. Straight roads run through it, dividing it into flat and easy-to-manage white squares.
"Please get off the bus in an orderly manner and avoid crowding or pushing."
Inside the station, the announcement voice never stopped, and passengers from all directions got off the train.
Loran Hill carried his light suitcase and got off the train with everyone else. He looked at the station curiously. It was crowded with people, and there were staff directing and guiding the way everywhere.
