Alien paradise

The train moved steadily on the track, leaving trees behind.

The farther away from the royal city, the simpler the scenery on the road becomes, and the cities passing through become more backward. Especially after driving into the southeastern forest area, uncultivated land and dense woods become the dominant scenery.

Farrellan looked at the scenery outside the window and sighed with a little regret.

Although the whole family is safe, the achievements he has accumulated for half his life are also gone.

"Can't bear to part with the house, money and connections in the royal capital?" Dann, who was sitting opposite, joked.

"Yes, I can't bear to part with you." Facing his old friend of many years, he didn't even bother to hide it. "You're not like me. You can support yourself and the whole family." At this point, Farrellan turned around and glanced at the seat behind him. After confirming that his wife and children were asleep, he continued, "Ailan didn't say anything about me for the time being, but she must be complaining in her heart. Life is almost unbearable for her, but the future of her children will be different. I don't know if Qian Limbao needs it. Detective, why don't I come with you and become a reporter?"

Seeing that Dan didn't speak, he couldn't help but touch his forehead, "You don't really want me to be a lumberjack, do you?"

"Don't worry," Dane laughed. "There are more opportunities in Thousand Limburg than you think. It's completely new now."

No matter how bright the city is, it is just a small town on the edge, Farrellan thought to himself. Ever since he saw the lavish life in the royal city, every place he went to felt like the countryside.

Of course, that place now belongs to the territory of Paradise Cult.

However, the headquarters of Paradise Sect is on the other side of the sea. He also visited Brilliant Castle more than half a year ago. Even if the latter is considered to be a better developed city among the developed cities, it is definitely not comparable to the Royal Capital.

"Thank you for your comfort." Farrellan replied casually, "If there is a good teacher in Qianlimburg, please recommend one to me."

As he spoke, the woods suddenly spread to both sides, and his field of vision suddenly expanded.

Farrelly was slightly startled.

He saw that both sides of the railway were full of cultivated and flat land, some of which were only filled with a large amount of materials, and some of which had already been erected with buildings. This area is almost as far as the eye can see, and God knows how many acres it occupies. What's even more incredible is that there are many wheeled machines running around on site. They can drag a dozen logs without losing their breath. The efficiency is many times higher than that of horse-drawn carriages.

"Are these steam cars?"

It is not that no company has built a steam car that does not require rails, but it is slow to start and decelerate, and requires a talented driver. It has not become popular in the market at all.

"No, they are all new energy vehicles."

"What kind of new energy?"

"This...I don't know." Dann smiled, "It is said that as long as an energy pack is placed within a hundred miles, it can drive hundreds or thousands of machines. It is a new technology developed by Mr. Chao after I left. Something. So if you ask me what it is, I can’t answer.”

"Ah?" Farrellan was greatly surprised, "You have been in the capital for less than a year, right?"

Dane admitted, "But for Paradise Cult, every month can bring about earth-shaking changes... so a year is already quite a long time."

When the train approached the city, Farrellan was shocked to find that the high-rise buildings here were comparable to those in the royal city. Most of them were three- to four-story brick houses, and several buildings rising from the ground could be seen in the distance. "Really tall building", a conservative estimate is more than ten floors!

You must know that the number of buildings is an important indicator of whether a city is developed or not!

Is this really a small border town of the kingdom?

He can't be dreaming.

"It seems that the construction skills of Paradise Cult have risen to another level." Dan En said happily, "As expected, Mr. Chao is a being who can create miracles."

…Is this something that was built by one person?

Farrellan honestly didn't believe it.

On the surface, it is a house, but in fact it is made of bricks, cement, steel, glass and more than a dozen types of workers. Without enough materials and money, it cannot support a city of this size. Even Sancia has gone through nearly a hundred years of repairs and renovations to become what it is today. More than a few hundred workers died for this alone.

Although the Paradise Cult did come up with several shocking and strange structures when they were in Brilliant Castle, house construction is another way. No matter how amazing the structures are, the house still has to be built brick by brick.

After getting off the train, the Farrellan family was dumbfounded.

The station here is actually larger than the one in the Royal City. Seven or eight rails and platforms are staggered. A large number of guests come and go, making this place look like a downtown area.

Recalling the reports about the constant miracles of the Paradise Sect that he had seen when he was in the royal city, he asked in shock, "Could it be that these are all tourists?"

"As far as I know, the number of tourists is currently declining," Dann explained. "A large number of people have been flocking here recently, some to find a job in the Thousand Limbs, the Acropolis and the Splendor Castle, and some to Settled there. Didn’t we see a lot of vacant land before? They were all residential areas under construction.”

"You said before that you didn't know!" Farrellan shouted dissatisfied.

"Technical details and urban planning are two different things. After all, when I was in the royal capital, I could always receive messages from here." Dan En said deceptively, "Let's go, I'll take you to your residence. Your house is ready. alright."

"my house?"

"Yes, it was specially arranged by Your Majesty Chao. As for work, you don't have to worry about it. After a day of rest, someone from Paradise Church will contact you."

Farilan came back to his senses after a long while, "Why didn't you tell me in advance? I've been thinking about how to solve the problem of food and accommodation. Great... So you're doing so well here, I thought you were just a reporter for a small newspaper like before."

"Actually... I'm pretty much the same as before. The reason why His Excellency Chao took care of you was because you helped the editor who promoted Paradise Church, and it has nothing to do with me."

"Oh..." Although he said so, his old friend's face was obviously unconvinced, "Then let me ask you, how much does Paradise Church pay you?"

"Five serirs a month if you're on a business trip, otherwise it's two a month. Of course... If I publish a report, I can get an extra income from royalties."

"Are you... sure?" Farlan was a little unconvinced. This salary can't be said to be very low, but it's far from being in line with Dann's status as someone who can talk to the envoy of God at any time.

His monthly income in the capital is at least fifty or sixty serirs, and he can't even meet His Majesty the King casually.

Looking at the other party's "what do you think" eyes, Farlan realized that this was true.

He is still the same Court Dann as he was ten years ago. What will keep him here is never pure profit.

"Actually, this is not that hard to understand... You will understand it naturally after staying for a while." Dann took the box from Ailan and said, "Go put the luggage first, and then have dinner together in the evening."

Farilan's house is near the Akallian Temple. It is a three-bedroom and one-living room on the second floor. The basic furniture has been placed. By the time the house is cleaned and the luggage is put away, it is already getting dark.

It was at this time that the two children first noticed the strangeness outside the window, "Mom, it's bright outside."

Farilan walked to the window curiously, and then widened his eyes-only to see brilliant lights everywhere in the city, red, white, yellow, blue... It was like countless rainbows being torn apart.

"What is this..." He murmured, pushed open the door, walked outside the house, and found that it was not his illusion. The streets and high-rise buildings in the city are all illuminated by these neon lights... Even if the night is about to cover the earth, it is colorful here instead of black and white. Even from another perspective, the night of Qianlin Castle is more gorgeous and charming than the day.

In fact, he is not the only one who thinks so.

There are obviously more passers-by walking on the street than during the day, and everyone's lively laughter can be heard clearly even if you stand on the second floor... Whether they come out to escape the heat or buy some snacks to satisfy their cravings, people's expressions seem quite relaxed, and they don't seem to worry about the harassment of the black street forces, let alone the worries about the war.

"This is Paradise..." Dane walked to his side and said, "Like you, I also saw the night view here for the first time, but it is exactly the same as the scene I have imagined countless times in my mind. Paradise is not just a name, but the land and people it cultivates... I used to think that such a world is almost impossible to appear, but now I don't think so... You see, the reason why I am willing to devote my life to it is not that difficult to understand, right?"
