“Don’t worry about it Nicholas. I read a few books in the library that no one touched, and they had a few ideas that I wanted to try out. So, I am trying them out now. You do not need to concern yourself regarding that. If that is all, I need to rest. It has been a long day and I have a long week ahead of me.
The next week was spent with Liu Feng in the workshop assembling multiple objects. It was extremely secretive, and no one was even allowed within the perimeter. After he was done assembling a dozen objects, he checked back on the transportation project.
It was now time to reveal his secret card. The project he was working on were trains. He had train tracks built all over the city and train stations in the important parts of the town. Now, he had gotten the trains that he assembled in the workshop onto the tracks. He called Nicholas and asked him to convene an optional town meeting in the main railway station. It was huge, but it was among the many high rise buildings that he had had constructed in the week after he got cement. The use of fire magic and magic stones sped up the drying process considerably, and he had a lot of red bricks due to the abundance of clay in Dilheim.
He gave Nicholas the speech he was supposed to speak. Nicholas went on to the stage in front of the three hundred town people who attended the event.
“Good day to you Citizens of Dilheim! I am proud to say that this town has now reached a population of three thousand and is growing everyday. With the increase in population and strict rules on horse carriages, I know that many of the citizens are facing difficulties getting from place to place. That is why I have introduced the railway system. At a cheap price of one copper a year, you can now get from one place to another very easily. Today, I will be, what! I mean, yes, I will be ririding the first trip all over the town.”, Nicholas stuttered at the end of his speech. He looked at Liu Feng with pleading eyes, and Liu Feng smiled.

They boarded the train on the track, and the train started moving automatically. It had already accumulated a little mana, but it would need a magic stone for future continuous travel. Nicholas was amazed. He first thought that this would be a disaster and he would be in danger, but he was quite comfortable, and the ride was very smooth. WIthin an hour, they were back where they began, and they went around the whole city. Although only three fourths of the tracks were complete, the major routes were all finished.
Liu Feng and Nicholas got off with a huge crowd greeting them. The crowd increased from three hundred to a thousand. They were all eager to start riding the train. Liu Feng waved at the crowd and shouted, “Don’t worry! There are many trains, and as long as you buy a pass, you will be able to ride one of them. Father has made sure that you will all be able to ride the trains conveniently. Of course, you will have to pay extra for the more comfortable seats.”
Nicholas was shocked that Liu Feng called him father, but he reacted and said, “Yes, yes. I made sure that your convenience was our first p[riority. I now announce that the railroads are now open!”
Liu Feng and Nicholas went back to the Manor.
“That was excellent, Your Highness! How did you come up with such an ingenious idea? This will change everything in the town. Infact, you are right. We can make the town a basic city by two weeks. We just need a monthly income of one gold bar to be considered a basic city by the kingdom’s standards. We just need to file for a city license in the capital after we get the earnings from the railroads.”

Grand Design
Humanity once ruled space, building an empire that stretched across hundreds of stars. Now Earth is a cold cinder in the void, its colonies and ships annihilated in an instant. For five thousand years the surviving races have huddled in the dying light of those few stations which avoided total destruction, eking out their existence in the shadow of the long-dead humans who built their homes. When a piece of that lost legacy resurfaces, the few who still remember humanity have one last opportunity to find the truth and avenge the fallen.
