In different countries, the conditions and thresholds for taking the subway are completely different. This is also the authority of the underground federation to be open to different countries.

Due to the constant temperature barrier, the Duchy of Winter can only use the subway for cross-city transportation in winter...... This, coupled with the ubiquitous Winter Hand in charge of surveillance, counterintelligence, and assassination, has led to a low barrier to entry for them to use the subway.

With the exception of a few monitored targets, who are not allowed to go underground, most civilians can ride the subway as long as they have the money.

But in the kingdom of Noah it was different.

In Noah's Kingdom, almost more than 90% of the subway capacity is used to transport goods.

As the world's largest exporter of grain, minerals and timber, the Kingdom of Noah has four subway lines, which transport abroad almost every day, and buy large quantities of livestock products from the Christian Nation and various luxury goods and works of art from the United Kingdom...... and the Frostbeast products purchased from the Underground Federation from the Duchy of Winter.

The shipping routes on the Duchy of Winter were completely terminated after Noah's war on Winter. It has not been reopened until now.

However, the Duchy of Winter still has various exports to the Church and the Underground Federation.

In addition to frost beast products, high-quality stone, cold iron ore, lead ore, gold ore, and iceless ...... Due to the limited capacity, most of them are directly sold to underground people on the spot, and the other party is responsible for transporting them. Therefore, if the Noah Kingdom wants to buy frost beast blood, it must also buy it from the underground people.

That's why it's so important to keep a price watch.

If uncensored personnel are allowed underground, a large number of smugglers of special goods will appear, which in turn will directly disrupt the market. In other words, Noah's control of the subway is not for political purposes...... It's an economic purpose.

To use the subway, you must obtain the signature of the Minister of Transport - even the local nobles who have signed it, although they can use the subway themselves, cannot give it to others, let alone grant others the right to enter the subway.

And having a signature isn't the end. After getting the signed pass, you have to apply to the local subway hall a few days in advance, and then send a letter to the royal capital through the ceremony in the subway hall, send a letter to the Ministry of Transportation remotely, and only after checking and confirming your identity can you use the subway within the specified time.

Very troublesome.

Annan felt very troublesome just by listening.

This is probably why Noah urgently needs to build an overground railway......

…… However, from this point of view, if Annam reopens to the port of cold water, can it also reduce the demand for above-ground railways in the Noah Kingdom to a certain extent?

"Welcome, Your Highness Annan."

The reception staff in the subway hall took out a booklet, put Annan's admission card on it, and compared the password on it. Then he politely handed it back to Annan, and replied respectfully: "And Your Excellency Yiyi, Your Excellency Si Yinke, and Your Excellency Jiu'er...... Now the deep well is ready for use. ”

That is, you can't understand the meaning of the player's name to say such things so calmly.

Annan thought in his heart, and nodded calmly: "Okay, Viscount Horatio." Thank you for your hard work. ”

"No, no...... You're laughing......"

Viscount Horatio apologized with some trepidation, and even wanted to take Annan and his entourage to the deep well in person.

Yes, this receptionist was a viscount in his own right. Although he is the kind of viscount who is more marginal, he is indeed a nobleman.

- But it is precisely because he is a nobleman that he can understand what Annam's identity really means.

Although he was the viscount of the royal capital, he was obviously not qualified to participate in the king's funeral - and therefore, although he knew of the existence of His Royal Highness Annan, he had never met Annan.

When he first saw Annan, he was still attracted by the radiant appearance of the gods. Even though he knew that this was a bit rude, he couldn't help but glance at Annan a few more times.

He wasn't to blame for that.

After Annan turned into frosthair, he became closer to the appearance of his grandmother and paper hime.

As a paper girl who controls the elements of "beauty", her appearance is basically the highest standard of "beauty" for human beings in this world. Although only the color of his hair has changed, Annan, who is closer to the paper hime, has a completely different sense of presence than before.

This is also the reason why Annan decided to use this identity to operate underground for the time being.

Boys should protect themselves when they go out, and don't be snatched away by some strange aunt......

…… Of course, there may also be strange uncles.

The four of them went to the deep well with their luggage.

The so-called "deep well" is a steel structure that resembles a hydraulic elevator.

The four of them stood on an open shockproof board of at least 50 square meters and signaled to the staff next to them.

As the crew pressed a button, they quickly sank down with a slight vibration and creaking.

"It's too extravagant."

Si secretly whispered: "With such a large space, can you transport the four of us?" ”

"Don't think too much about it, this should be for unloading."

Lin Yiyi replied casually.

Annan nodded and added, "Noah can take the subway with not many people, and even fewer can take people with him. Basically, there will only be a few of us on this trip......"

Before he could finish speaking, the deep well had already fallen to the next floor.

In front of the four of them, there was a strange man in his fifties with short brown hair who was carrying a large bag of luggage, slightly hunched over, and was alone on the platform.

When he saw Annan, he was slightly stunned.

Annan was keenly aware that it was not just an ordinary gaze—he tasted a hint of astonishment and surprise.

Does this person know me?

Without waiting for Annan to speak.

The other party turned around and greeted him, and asked in a low voice that was a little nervous and a little nervous, "Hello, Your Excellency." I'm Nigel Elliott...... Can I take the liberty of asking you a question? ”

"Please. But I don't promise that I will answer. ”

Annan glanced at him and replied calmly.

He didn't say his name.

In front of Kaphne, seniors, and players, he occasionally sells a germination or something - but in front of outsiders, the force and aura are always full.

But the other party's inquiry made Annan stunned for a moment:

"Excuse me...... Do you know 'Paper Princess'? ”

Nigel asked respectfully.

I don't know if I'm Annan Rindong...... But you know that I have something to do with Paper Ji?

Annan was silent, and suddenly remembered where he had seen this name-

Shortly after the delicious wind goose arrived in Noah, he had seen a portrait of Paper Ji in the newspaper. A painter has a relationship with Paper Ji, and with a short moment's 'vague impression', he roughly restores the true face of Paper Ji.

But it is the last one that is beyond common sense and cannot be understood where the "truth of beauty" lies.

In fact, the painting that he copied was ...... Compared to the paper hime, it looks like today's Annan.

When he saw Annan, it was normal for the whole person to be shocked.

So Annan thought so in his heart, his tone was a little softer, and he smiled lightly: "You are the 'famous painter'...... I've heard Paper Ji mention you. He is a very hard working person and has good talents. ”

He also used an accent on the term "famous painter".

The other party waved his hand again and again, very ashamed: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be...... I knew to myself that the paper I was painting was too ordinary, far from his thrilling, dreamlike beauty. I wasn't going to exhibit this painting, but ...... The newspaper gave me too much money......"

"Well, I understand."

Annan nodded and comforted gently.

Hearing Annan's comfort, the middle-aged painter was almost about to hold Annan's hand with gratitude—but when he looked up and saw Annan's face, he trembled and subconsciously lowered his head, forcibly raised half of his hand and slowly withdrew it in embarrassment.

"By the way," Annan asked, in order not to continue to embarrass the other party, "where are you going?" Maybe we'll be able to make it a little bit better. ”

"I'm going to St. Felix in the Duchy of Winter, Your Excellency. The Stormy Fortress of the province of San Felix. ”

The painter Nigel did not ask Annan's name or whereabouts, but directly stated his destination.

…… Unexpectedly, it was really on the way.

Annan's apparent destination was the Razordom of Bloomfield, which was two stops after the Coldwind Fortress, and three stops later in the Frost Province.

Of course, this is only the goal on the surface.

Their real destination is the underground city beneath the razorneck, the Spore Mill.

But I don't need to talk to this passer-by uncle.

"We can really get along the way......"

As Annan said this, the train was already rumbling from a distance.

He closed his mouth and glanced at the entrance.

"Get in the car and talk again, Lord Nigel."

Annan looked back at Nigel and smiled.

He said meaningfully, "I have something to do next...... I'd like to ask you about it. ”

Annan has realized something.

Nigel Elliott nervously rubbed the corners of his clothes, opened his mouth and closed it, and then nodded repeatedly.
