My Swap Life Game

Chapter 157 October 1178, 10 Holy Light Calendar

Under Parker's distraught eyes, Anne's carriage went further and further away.

On the way, Phyllis curiously asked the two: "When do you plan to get married?"

"No hurry~" Annie said shyly, "Wait until I graduate from Imperial Capital College, wait until Mr. Lu Xing becomes stronger, and then ask Miss Xiao Yu..."

She didn't continue, but Phyllis already knew some things about the Earth. Let's talk about the future in the future.

A few minutes later, the carriage arrived at the church, and then passed the church and drove to the west side. A large group of nobles and clergy from various churches crowded in front of the small station, chatting with each other.

"Miss Anne is here!"

The Swinton family crest was recognized by almost everyone in the North, and when the carriage arrived, people came forward to greet her, but they saw that it was a young man who got off the carriage.

"It's Mr. Lu Xing."

Someone recognized him.

Lu Xing turned around and walked towards the car, stretched out his hand, and helped Annie, who was dressed in a gorgeous dress, down under the gaze of everyone.

"Everyone is here early~"

Anne smiled at everyone, and people came forward to greet her. Anne handled the situation familiarly, and Lu Xing helped the last person out of the carriage.

The appearance of the tower wizard Phyllis aroused enthusiasm among the crowd, but Phyllis only responded briefly and pulled Anne to the front of the stage.

Not many people greeted Lu Xing, and Annie did not formally introduce him, as if she was waiting for an opportunity.

Around the station
"Annie~"

"Annie is here!"

After walking a few steps forward, a group of noble ladies dressed in the same finery stood up to greet him. Lu Xing was very familiar with them and recognized several of them at a glance: Meryl, Renee, Joyna...

They were all noble ladies who often went to Swindon Castle to have afternoon tea with Anne, and they were here today too.

Anne's best friend, mid-level mercenary Alicia, is not here. She has gone to the North with the mercenary group and is not expected to return until after the New Year.

"Annie, where's the train?"

"Are we going to take the train later?"

"Hehe, Annie, I've seen the train you built!"

"Where is where?"

"It's behind the station. It's guarded."

A group of noble ladies were chattering, and the topic was directed to Lu Xing several times, but Annie always changed the subject and just smiled and said that they would know soon!

Lu Xing continued to be invisible. He probably knew the rules of the aristocratic circle here. He must have a formal introduction before he could integrate into the aristocratic circle.

For example, being introduced by an important figure, or being introduced by the host at a banquet.

After meeting the people outside, Lu Xing, Annie and Phyllis walked into the station. It was arranged like an ordinary station on Earth, with a ticket window, a waiting area, snack stalls, etc.

Of course, no one is selling tickets yet, and there are no snacks. There are only seats in the waiting area for people to sit and wait to watch the ceremony.

After Lu Xing came in, most of these people looked at him.

Those who could wait in the station were all powerful figures in the city of Rowans. They did not pay much attention to Anne, knowing that he was the one hiding behind the scenes and leading the Saint to the North.

"Are you Mr. Lu Xing?"

Someone stood up and walked towards him, took off his hat, and said impatiently: "My name is Wright, and I'm from the Imperial Capital Alchemy Association. I've seen your boiler concept. It's very crude, but full of wonderful imagination, completely different from the previous alchemy!"

"Yes, I'm Lu Xing, nice to meet you."

Lu Xing didn't know much about the people in the city. He only knew that group of noble ladies, and he knew even less about the people and things in the imperial capital.

Annie is busy greeting other people and can't come over for the time being.

Fortunately, there was Phyllis, who said, "Master Light, Mr. Lu Xing doesn't really know much about alchemy. He specializes in industrial technology."

"industry?"

"I'm sorry, but I don't know much."

While the two were talking, some other people came forward to chat with Lu Xing, including the Magicians Association, the Mercenary Association, a professor from the Imperial Capital College, a forging master from the dwarf tribe, the bishop of the Midnight Church, and the nephew of the Emperor of the Moria Empire, a black-haired young man named Owensius.

Annie couldn't sit still anymore, so she hurried over to apologize to them, saying that she didn't recognize their identities just now!

She didn't spend much time in the imperial capital and had no interaction with these people.

"No need to apologize, Miss Anne."

Owenhus smiled and said, "We decided to come and watch the Northern Steam Locomotive Ceremony. His Majesty the Emperor announced his support yesterday, and the Senate reluctantly approved it and activated a teleportation array to let us come."

"The teleportation array cost a lot this time~"

Anne smiled and said, "I hope you can spend a wonderful afternoon in the city of Rowensch, enjoy the rare snow scenery in the south, and visit the train we built~"

Everyone laughed.

Lu Xingcai realized one thing: the stronger the person riding the teleportation array, the more expensive it would be. No wonder it required the approval of Parliament for Wright and others to come, and the Empire would only allocate funds for them to ride the teleportation array.

Catherine ordered a servant to ride back on horseback to report that someone had been sent from the imperial capital.

There are so many guests today that we don’t have enough staff to entertain them.

Annie originally wanted to introduce Mr. Lu Xing later, but now she found that people's topics had unconsciously revolved around him and they were all trying to find out about him.

“About industry.”

Lu Xing answered Master Light's question again, also wanting to dispel some people's curiosity: "You can refer to boilers and trains. Instead of pursuing perfect alchemy skills, you can find a way to make everyone benefit from magic and use magic to change people's lives, um, everyone!"

Everyone here enjoys the convenience of magic, but the majority of civilians have little contact with magic.

"We just went to see the boiler." Professor Bader of the Imperial Capital Royal Academy said, "The core of the magic array is to use inferior magic crystals to boil hot water, which is indeed very useful in the cold northern border. However, we want to know, how can inferior magic crystals drive a car running on rails? Just by boiling water?" "Yes, just by boiling water. Boiling water can do many things!"

Whether it is a steam boiler or a magic steam locomotive, these technologies are not difficult for alchemists in the magical world, and Lu Xing has no intention of hiding them.

As they were chatting, the Duke and Lady Swinton arrived.

Hundreds of dignitaries from the Moria Empire gathered in the small station, and the bustle continued until the arrival of Saint Themira.

She arrived at the station. Her holy body did not emit any light, but it made the station much brighter and the discussions much quieter. People were in awe of her identity, knowing that every word they said could be heard by the goddess.

"Annie, it's time!" the lady whispered to her daughter.

"Well, then, I'm going up!"

Anne, who is usually very sociable, felt nervous again at this moment. She stood up and walked up the makeshift steps under the gaze of many people, facing the crowd. Behind her was the waiting room of the station, where the train would come in soon.

"Honorable Saint, respected His Highness Owenthius, gentlemen and ladies from other churches, and gentlemen and ladies from the Imperial Capital, everyone in the North, and the staff at the train station, my friends! Please allow me, Anne Weisz Swinton, to extend my greetings to you."

Lu Xingguang felt tired just listening to her list so many people.

There were too many people crammed into the small station.

But with Saint Themira here, no one dared to complain.

"Before I tell you about today's events, I want to introduce someone to you!"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Lu Xing.

"He possesses mysterious powers and comes from a mysterious place. He is favored by the goddess and has seen two angels from the goddess. He is the inventor of the magic steam train and also my fiancé, Lu Xing!"

Anne's clear voice echoed throughout the station, and her cute little face was full of pride.

Lu Xing resisted the urge to laugh, stood up, took off his hat and gestured to everyone, then looked at Annie before sitting down again.

Annie gradually regained her social skills. She began to introduce steam boilers and steam trains, starting with the small toys she made with Lu Xing's tips, and talked all the way to the completion of the railway station. She proudly introduced: "The first train will be sent from the Holy Light Church to the mine outside the city. It is the first train on the continent to be powered by inferior magic crystals!"

There was applause in the station.

But many people clapped only out of politeness, and some even clapped sleepily.

They have no idea what trains can do!
The boiler was somewhat useful, but they had no shortage of charcoal in the winter, and even had a magic circle for heating, so they were not too interested in the boiler.

They came to join in the fun because Saint Themira came to the North. Otherwise, their daughters would just have to play with Miss Anne.

"Please ask Mr. Lu Xing to introduce the magic steam train to us!"

Annie invited Lu Xing to the stage.

But after she walked back and sat down next to Lu Xing, her expression seemed a little aggrieved.

She realized that her speech was not very good, just mediocre.

Lu Xing patted her shoulder and walked onto the stage.

He first looked around, then at everyone, and asked, "Everyone, what day is today?"

Everyone was stunned by his question.

"It is October 1178, 10 in the Holy Light Calendar."

The person who answered the question was Saint Themira. Her soft and gentle voice spread like a hymn ringing in the temple.

Lu Xing paused and thought, the calendar of the magical continent is actually very chaotic. Every country, every church, and even every race has its own calendar, which changes frequently.

For example, the Holy Light Calendar actually existed in the Third Age, but the goddess changed it a thousand years ago and started a new calendar.

Saint Themira took the initiative to answer his questions, and Lu Xing had reason to suspect that it was He Li who asked her to say it.

The Goddess of Holy Light knows the importance of magic steam train better than anyone else!
"Yes, October 1178, 10 in the Holy Light Calendar!"

Lu Xing continued his speech: "Today, for most people, even everyone present here, is just an ordinary day! But for me, for Anne, Temira, Miss Phyllis, and Miss Catherine, it is an important day!"

He listed several names, all of whom were contributors to the invention of the train.

Hearing the master mention her, the maid Catherine had an inexplicable feeling in her heart.

"Why is it important? Because a groundbreaking means of transportation, a groundbreaking technology, has appeared in the North!"

"what!"

The person who exclaimed was Anne. She looked excited and thought her fiancé's speech was really great, much better than hers. He easily boosted everyone's spirits and made everyone pay attention to the importance of trains.

"Allow me to brag a little."

Lu Xing laughed, and everyone couldn't help but laugh.

"But I believe that magic steam technology has the power to change the continent!"

“First, let’s understand a concept: productivity!”

"What is productivity? Simply put, using magic to plow the land is the same as using cows to plow the land. That is the manifestation of productivity!"

Lu Xing spoke more and more fluently, and expressed his thoughts on the development of industry in the magical world during this period.

There is no draft, it all depends on improvisation.

Finally, the conclusion: "The energy brought by the inferior magic crystal can greatly improve productivity, change the entire continent, and penetrate into every aspect of people's lives! Whether it is nobles, civilians, or even gods.

Therefore, today, October 1178, 10 of the Holy Light Calendar, is a day worth remembering! "

After the speech, the station fell into complete silence.

After a while, the applause broke out.
