Chapter 618 Helena
Nini wagged her tail happily and said a few words to the station staff, and the switchman moved a train with passenger carriages attached over.
"Let's go. This train is carrying copper ore. It's just carrying passengers, so the ride might not be that comfortable."
The priests of the Silent Church naturally had no objection. When they evacuated from White Crow, they had been riding in a carriage. The carriage had no suspension and no rubber tires. No matter how much cushioning was added, it was useless. Moreover, the church's usual style was not to add soft furnishings at all.
It only takes half an hour to ride in this kind of carriage, and even stones in the bladder can be shaken out.
In comparison, the bumpy feeling of the train running on the rails is almost negligible.
Moreover, the seats on the train are different from those on the subway. They are soft-padded, which makes you feel much more relaxed when sitting on them.
"It is said that the new type of seats can adjust the backrest angle, but the conditions are not yet in place." Nini skillfully folded over a row of seats. The carriage here did not have a skylight, and its height was already very generous, so even the Banshee could ride comfortably.
However, Nini still considerately opened the car window and made a "please" gesture to Nora who was holding Gwen.
Gwen was stunned for a moment before she reacted. Just as she was subconsciously lowering her head to look at Nora, Nora had already bitten her.
"Ah ...
The experienced Nora would not be fooled again. If she didn't bite now, she would be lifted up by Gwen and would have to bite the air.
Nini showed a satisfied smile, stretched her tail, climbed onto the luggage rack above, and lay down comfortably.
The height of the carriage is limited, but there is definitely enough space to lie down.
While the fight was still going on here, the priests in the church were looking at the upholstered seats as if they were facing a great enemy.
"This soft seating is such a luxury."
"Wake up, it's just an ordinary soft-padded seat. There are better ones in the sanctuary."
"But we're on a journey. Can you travel with an armchair? Or would you rather ride in that damned carriage?"
"Castel is truly depraved."
The priests murmured criticism of Castel's extravagance while happily shifting their postures in their chairs.
On the other side, Hughes, who was far away in the office, was a little amused. He didn't expect that these priests would speak so highly of this chair.
Indeed, these seats are specially designed to fit the body better and provide support, making long-distance travel less uncomfortable.
But I didn’t expect the priests to react so strongly.
In fact, the main reason is that Xius doesn’t have much travel experience in this world.
Without modern means of transportation, long-distance travel is extremely torture. Even if the priests of these silent churches are extraordinary beings with strong physical fitness, they cannot withstand the bumps of the carriage.
"It seems that the appeal of trains to people in this world is still underestimated."
Hughes narrowed his eyes.
The priests of the Church of Silence did not enjoy the comfortable train ride for long before they arrived at their destination.
The entire island of Castel is not very big. The train started to slow down after more than ten minutes and stopped again not long after.
After their initial surprise, the priests of the church quickly shifted their attention from the carriage to the buildings outside.
"Patriarch, these buildings..."
Ignati nodded slowly and looked at Nini: "If I'm not mistaken, it's all made of concrete, right?"
"Of course, but the grade here is higher. You can understand that the concrete here is stronger."
Higher strength! ?
The priests of the Silent Church remained silent for a moment, looking at the series of fortresses outside in disbelief.
Their stone temple is known for its strength, and they thought the concrete one was equally strong. Now they are told that this one is even stronger?
"The hospital outside is actually a civilian building, and this area is already a military fortification. The Castel Cathedral has its own hospital, which will be moved in during wartime."
Nini smiled and stabbed them again.
The White Crow Principality is a combination of politics and religion, so the temple naturally also has military functions. After all, these burial masters have to go to the battlefield.
After comparing for a long time, I found out that the concrete in the hospital is for civilian use?
What are "civil buildings" in the North?
Houses made of stone and wood, covered with straw? Most houses were actually made of mud. They would rot after the snowstorm anyway, so it would be better to build something easy to build. When the houses couldn't withstand the heavy snow, they could just live in the church.
Helena pushed her glasses and looked at the rows of concrete works outside, and couldn't help revealing a longing expression.
Unlike Nora, she is a veteran burialist who has spent many years in the North and has seen a lot of hardships.
Whenever there is a snowstorm, the church is always crowded with people. If people had these concrete houses at that time, perhaps they would not have to be so embarrassed.
The doors of the church all open inwards. After a snowstorm, when you open the door, you will see a whole field of snow that has piled up all over the door. You must first use a shovel to shovel away the snow that has buried the door before you can step out of the church.
As for the believers' houses, they had collapsed in some snowstorm.
Dig out your collapsed house, collect as many usable items as possible, and then build a new home from the ruins.
The people of Bai Ya have long been accustomed to these hardships, and they just work silently.
if
Helena smiled bitterly and shook her head. Castel had sturdy houses, but it was not subject to the wind and frost of the north. The harbor here would never freeze, so there were no such hardships.
When you get older, you tend to have wild thoughts, too many memories, and they are too heavy.
Her companions exclaimed, and Helena quickly pushed her glasses up and looked out the window.
Then she also became dazed.
What a tall fortress.
Helena had fought in many battles, and she could tell at a glance the design direction of the fortress. The slopes and tangents were obviously designed specifically to deal with sieges. As long as crossbows and catapults were deployed on it, the enemy would be able to watch and sigh in despair.
Wait, what are those things arranged on top?
Helena narrowed her eyes. She only recognized a bell tower on the top of the fortress. She didn't recognize the rest of the thick black pipes. And why was there a monument on the top?
Fortunately, today was not a celebration or something like that, otherwise she would still see Chloe on that monument.
"Everyone, we're here. The Castel Cathedral is in front of us." Nini's voice came from the luggage rack.
Helena stood up and prepared to get off the car, but suddenly felt something was wrong.
Isn’t there a fortress outside? Where is the church?
