Ash's seat on the truck was not near the window, so he could not see the changing scenery along the way.
So when the big card stopped and the leading wizard said "We're here", he was holding the black coffin and was the first to get off the big card with everyone's unanimous humility.
The first time I saw Tianping City, my attention was attracted by the wizard tower that rose up from the tall and short buildings in the distance and reached the sky.
Sure enough, every city has a wizard tower.
It is several times taller than Brandt's level seven wizard tower, but not as impressive as the towering wizard tower in Stonehenge.
So Ash only took one more look and then looked away, silently judging in his mind, this should be a level 4 wizard tower, right?
From this we can see that Tianping City is not a small place, but it is not a particularly large city either.
Ash looked around and found that they were still a long way from the wizard tower. There was a spacious white square next to it. Behind the square was a beautiful and grand building with a wide open door and the words "Tianping City Station" were written on it.
Many people, including wizards and ordinary people, came in and out of the building, their steps were either hurried or leisurely.
"We will take you here." After Ivan and Yelena got off the car, only the leader wizard came down to say goodbye to them, "I wish you a safe journey."
"Thank you." Ivan said.
"No, no." The leading wizard was obviously a high-level wizard, but his attitude towards Ivan was particularly humble. He smiled and waved goodbye again before getting back on the bus and going away as the bus started.
"With Scarlet Moon here, it's much more convenient!" Yelena watched Da Ka leave, then smiled and said, "Otherwise they must be in a hurry to return to the Wizard Tower, so how could they have the time to take a detour to send us here? Why don't we also bring him out when we buy train tickets? Who knows, maybe we can get a free ticket?"
Ash touched the cold coffin and didn't answer. He couldn't help wondering in his heart whether Sigourney was asleep or not.
"That may not be the reason." Ivan shook his head. "We were attacked today because their spy exposed our whereabouts. They knew what was going on. On the one hand, they felt sorry, but on the other hand, they wanted to thank us. Don't talk about His Excellency Scarlet Moon all the time, Yelena. Don't forget that your old accounts are still being recorded by His Excellency."
Yelena: “…” Trembling.
"Ash, this is the train station." Ivan turned to Ash and introduced, leading the way to the station, "The cost of teleportation is too high. For long-distance travel, we usually choose this."
As he spoke, he cast a second-level magic "Floating" on the black coffin, reducing its weight.
Ash felt something light in his arms and tried to loosen his grip. The black coffin actually floated in the air by itself, swaying back and forth but not falling.
"I've seen Mr. Nance carry a coffin." Ivan taught Ash a labor-saving technique, "Now we just need to push it forward."
Ash thought about it, stretched out his arms and embraced the black coffin as if he was embracing a tall man, walked forward a few steps, and nodded. It was indeed very convenient.
Yelena huddled in the back, trying to hold back her laughter. The feeling of being suspended in the air caused by the floating technique was neither up nor down, empty and particularly disgusting. She had seen Mr. Nance's favorite snacks being snatched away by Sigourney several times, all because Mr. Nance used the "floating technique" when moving the coffin.
She also said that she had offended Sigourney, but wasn't her brother the same?
Holding the idea of sharing the hardship, Yelena did not remind the two people in front of her. She just smiled kindly when she couldn't help laughing, which wasted her bright and beautiful face.
Ash held the black coffin in his arms and walked into the station with Ivan.
The dome of the station is paved with transparent glass, so the sunlight shines down unimpeded. The white floor reflects the skylight, making the station bright and spacious, which makes people feel more cheerful.
The image of Ash with one man and one coffin attracted a lot of people's attention, but they only took a glance and then looked away as if they were used to it.
Ivan and Yelena did not go to the ticket window to queue up to buy tickets - Ash also noticed that the people queuing there were all ordinary people, not a single wizard.
"All wizards have this." Ivan led him further inside and pointed to the badge on his chest. "It contains our personal points in the Wizard Association. Points can be obtained by completing the association's tasks, publishing papers in journals, discovering valuable ancient relics, trading with others, etc. When purchasing magic materials, equipment, potions, etc., the higher the level, the less effective gold coins are, and points are required to pay."
"Points are the currency in the wizarding world," Ivan said. "The train is divided into two areas: wizards and ordinary people. Tickets for the wizarding area can only be purchased with points."
Ash listened carefully and sighed helplessly in his heart. It seemed that on Iluv's side, he was not only a pauper among ordinary people, but also extremely poor in the wizarding world.
This can't go on like this.
He didn't want there to be a next time when Sigourney exchanged bodies with him again, and he would have to ask others for gold coins and points for what he wanted to eat or play.
He wrinkled his nose slightly and rubbed his fingertips unconsciously on the black coffin... No need to use someone else's, just use his.
"We are lucky." Ivan's voice interrupted his thoughts at the right time. "In another ten minutes or so, the train to the Brilliant Royal City will arrive at the station."
Ash then realized that he and Ivan were standing on a platform. In front of them were two long and narrow parallel tracks that extended forward and backward with no end in sight.
"Sit down and wait for a while." Yelena sat down at a small round table nearby, propped up her chin and looked toward the end of the track, as if the train would come from that direction.
Ash and Ivan followed suit and sat down.
Yelena glanced over as they moved, then laughed: "Ash, are you excited?"
Ash was stunned: "?"
"Your face is so red." Yelena gestured at her own face, "Are you so excited to see the train?"
Ash quickly raised his hand to cover his cheek, and sure enough, the temperature was so hot that his palms were burning.
He bit his lower lip lightly. It was not for this reason, but... He suddenly realized that the idea of "not using other people's things, just using his own" was both exclusive and overbearing. How could he have such an excessive idea? Why did he think so? How could he think so?
Feeling ashamed and stunned, Ash poked himself in disbelief in his heart, Ash, you have changed, I almost don't recognize you. What do you think about deep down every day?
After questioning himself like this, he turned red from head to toe.
"…It's not the train." He pursed his lips and whispered embarrassedly, "I just suddenly thought of Sigourney."
Yelena: "..." Huh? Eh! So bold? He wants to explode on the spot again.
She looked at Ash with a strange look, Ash didn’t expect you to be like this!
Ash felt that she might have been thinking something wrong, but he didn't know exactly where. He opened his mouth but was unable to correct her thoughts.
Ivan didn't understand the conversation between Ash and Yelena, but looking at the look in his stupid sister's eyes, he knew that her head must be full of yellow scum. Yelena had a similar expression when she flirted with the good-looking boy in the wizard academy. So he didn't say anything, but slapped her on the back of the head, trying to clear the scum out of her stupid sister's head.
“Woo——”
A long and low whistle sounded from afar, piercing through the space.
"Here it comes!" Ivan didn't bother to educate his sister anymore. He stood up and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
As his last words fell, the deafening roar of machinery and the whistling sound of wind as the train ran, accompanied by a long train with a pure black background and covered with silver inscriptions, came from afar and drove into the platform, creating a huge air wave.
Compared to the big cards I've seen before, this is a real metal monster.
Ash, who had never seen the world, opened his eyes wide and felt that he was about to be conquered by the train.
"Sigourney, can you do this too?" he murmured.
"Do you want to tire him to death?" Yelena said, "This kind of heavy and bulky thing requires more labor than skills. He won't be interested."
"Let's go." Ivan reminded them. The train had stopped and there was an open door in front of them. Ivan walked in first and reported the number of people, "Three."
A straight voice came from the door: "Car 3, seats 7, 8, 9."
"Just like the mansion in Stonehenge, there is a low-level alchemical life form." Yelena explained to Ash while pulling Ash and quickly caught up with Ivan.
The three of them quickly found their seats. Ivan and Yelena considerately gave up their window seats to Ash, wanting him to see more of the territory of the Brilliant Throne.
"In two days, we will reach the Brilliant Royal City."
Ivan told Ash as the train started moving again.
Ash didn't care about the two days. He blinked and thought of another aspect: "Sigourney will come out at night, right?"
Ivan & Yelena: "......?!"
Oh yes!
Two days on the train, that means being with Sigourney! In this small space! In close proximity! For two! Nights!
Suddenly I was at a loss!
Ash looked at their complicated expressions strangely and asked the question that had just occurred to him: "Should we still buy a ticket for Sigourney?"
Ivan & Yelena: “……?!” This is what you care about?
...Suddenly I was speechless.
