Chapter 200: Water Marsh Wizard Gathering Place
“The train has arrived at the station.”
As the magic steam train pulled into the platform, the boiling steam, like surging waves, rushed into the entire waiting hall.
And Jia Na, standing in the “sea of steam,” felt a sense of novelty when she first encountered the unusually active steam spirits around her.
“Are these the steam spirits summoned by the Steam Core after it activated the Steam Law?”
The Steam Law, such an ordinary-sounding Sub-Law, has brought about revolutionary changes to the transcendent technology of the entire Wizard World.
And all these changes are thanks to the Steam Core technology developed and researched by Wali-Dinger, who earned the title of Son of Steam, during his time as an apprentice.
The principle of the Steam Core is actually very simple: it uses magic patterns to generate a large amount of steam within a relatively balanced range between fire and water elements.
But this so-called “balanced range” was the optimal balance point that Wali-Dinger found after tens of thousands of experiments.
This balance point is not just about “generating steam”; it’s about finding a “synchronized point” between water and fire elements.
When water and fire, in their infinite repulsion, reach a state of fusion, that is the synchronized point of water and fire. Once synchronized, the Steam Law will respond to the call, summoning a large number of steam spirits with the characteristic of “magic exclusion.”
And the core reason why magic trains equipped with the Steam Core can ultimately withstand radioactive substances and contamination lies in the extreme exclusivity of steam spirits towards all elements.
This extreme exclusivity exists because steam spirits themselves are born from the two mutually repulsive elements of water and fire.
This characteristic is actually very similar to “light elements”; both are extremely exclusive and very overbearing elements.
However, because the activity and extensibility of light element particles are too strong and cannot be both exclusive and compatible like steam spirits, even though the White Wizard group has studied “light elements” for a long time, they have not found a clue to overcome this difficulty.
It is precisely because of Wali-Dinger’s discovery of steam spirits that steam magic trains and steam towers have also come into being.
With the spread and application of this Wizard Invention, it has not only promoted the establishment of network ties between various Wizard Gathering Places but also greatly boosted the economic development of many relatively poor and backward small Wizard Gathering Places.
The Wizard Weekly once commented:
The invention of the Steam Core has dragged the Wizard World into a better era. This is an excellent invention that truly benefits all transcendent beings, and at the same time, it is a powerful shot for the Wizard group to fight against evil god contamination.
“Whoosh!” A sharp whistle sounded again, and Jia Na and her group, who had completed all procedures, entered the platform with the crowd and successively boarded the train.
“This should be our carriage.”
After passing through carriage after carriage, finally, under the leadership of Julie-Ann, the group found their seats in a carriage marked VIP.
“Jia Na, your seat is here.” Hearing Liji-Xiaosi’s call, Jia Na sat down in a window seat opposite her, and then took off the hood and scarf that had been making it difficult for her to breathe.
“You’re killing me, I can finally call you by your name.”
Afraid of causing a commotion, the group did not dare to call Jia Na by her name along the way. Only after entering the VIP private compartment did Liji-Xiaosi dare to call her by name.
Similarly, Jia Na, who had kept her face covered tightly the whole way, could finally take off her “disguise” and breathe a sigh of relief.
“The theater group is so stingy. You’re such a big star, and they’re still reluctant to buy steam airship tickets. If you took an airship, you wouldn’t have to be so covered up—””
Seeing David-Berg walk in, Liji-Xiaosi, who was planning to continue complaining, also closed her mouth in time, but the look in her eyes towards David-Berg was still full of resentment.
“Sorry everyone, the theater group originally planned to book steam airship tickets for everyone today, but because of the tight schedule, they temporarily changed to a steam train—..·So please bear with us—”
Hearing David-Berg’s sudden apology, Liji-Xiaosi glanced at Jia Na with a slightly puzzled look, and then whispered:
“Director David wouldn’t have heard me talking bad about him, would he—Otherwise, why would he suddenly apologize?”
“No, he was quite far from us when you were talking. Unless he is a Bloodline Side apprentice with good hearing, otherwise, he wouldn’t have heard.”
“Ah, then I’m relieved—”
With a Ming, after all passengers had successively taken their seats, the magic steam train’s Steam Core officially started.
Steam sprayed, water vapor rose.
As a large amount of steam spirits enveloped the train, the first magic steam train of the day slowly pulled out of the station with a high-pitched steam spray.
“Jia Na, this should be your first time riding a magic steam train, right?”
Hearing Liji-Xiaosi’s words from the side, Jia Na, who had been looking out the window, gently nodded.
“I rode a magic steam airship once when I came from the Lower City to Turin. Besides that, today is my second time riding a magic transportation tool—.”
Looking at the scenery constantly passing by outside the window, long-sealed memories kept surfacing in Jia Na’s mind.
Familiar train, familiar tracks, only the scenery on both sides of the tracks was vastly different from the scene in Jia Na’s memory.
There were no endless cornfields, and no countless low-rise houses.
In this world, which is full of dark sun contamination except for the Wizard Gathering Places, there are only dense ancient forests that have been growing for who knows how long, and the remains of magical beasts that appear from time to time along the way.
“Ming Ming”
The sound of steam spraying kept ringing. The seemingly bulky and large train possessed unparalleled speed. In just half a day, the magic steam train had already passed through the vast plain where the Turin Wizard Gathering Place is located, and officially entered the water world of the Water Marsh.
“It’s not snowing here at all—and it’s quite warm.”
Looking at the winding waterways outside the window and the trees whose leaves had not yet fallen, Liji-Xiaosi, who had been looking at the snow scenery in Turin for several months, couldn’t help but her eyes light up.
“Water Marsh City is a city built by the water. When we get there, we might even have to take a boat.”
“Take a boat? Are you serious?”
“I specifically went to the library yesterday to read the “Wizard Geographical Atlas,” and the description of the Water Marsh Wizard Gathering Place in it is like this.”
Unlike the City of Turin, which is shrouded in fog all year round, Water Marsh City, surrounded by water, not only has a pleasant climate,
The aquatic resources are also extremely rich.
Just like the aquatic products and river fresh imported by the City of Turin on weekdays, many suppliers come from Water Marsh City.
“Whoosh!” Accompanied by a sharp whistle, the magic steam train, which had been traveling for about six hours, was about to reach the final destination of this journey.
