System vs Rebirth

"So, this is the city." Maxwell stood in front of the city that was said to be built for the hub. It was still at the level of a village, but there were already a few important buildings that were being constructed.

The roads were also expanded to two sides, one heading to the main city while the other headed to the west.

"There are still a few more cities that can be built along the way, but this city will have direct access to Rune Technology. I believe that the main city will become the main manufacturer of Rune Technology." Theressa nodded her head with a serious expression, seeing the potential of this city.

Suddenly, they heard a loud horn blowing in the distance.

"!!!" Both of them turned around and saw a gigantic carriage that traveled at twice the speed of a normal carriage. And it was actually slowing down, meaning that it wasn't their full speed.

"That's…" Theressa gasped.

"So, that's the rumored train." Maxwell's expression turned grim.

The train was slowing down gradually so that it didn't cause the join to snap or the other trailers to move in an unpredictable way.

They ended up arriving thirty meters from the city.

Twenty people came out of the train as they opened up the trailers one by one. Some workers in the city headed to the train to discuss their goods.

Out of curiosity, Maxwell and Theressa walked to them, wanting to know why they came here.

To their surprise, they saw all the materials inside all the trailers. There were a total of ten trailers, one passenger car, and two pulling cars.

Each trailer was filled to the brim with all kinds of materials, including wood, stones, and other essential items for construction.

"They can bring all this stuff in a single trip?" Maxwell sucked a cold breath. He came to one of the workers, asking, "Hi. What is the cost of bringing all these items?"

The worker tilted his head for a moment. On the one hand, he had heard that this area was off-limits. On the other hand, the fact that they were here meant they were allies of the Marquis. It was probably fine to disclose that information to them.

"Not much. Because some are a bit too heavy, we need to add two low level demon crystals to each trailer, for a total of ten crystals. Pulling all these from the main city costs about eight mid level demon crystals."

"!!!" Maxwell widened his eyes in shock. He converted the crystals into money first while muttering inwardly, 'Judging from the amount of materials, we will probably need more than five expeditions with multiple wagons on each trip.
