Northwest of Neverwinter, in the heart of the Hidden Forest.

Snake Fang felt that the month and a half since joining the railway engineering team was the most incredible time in his life.

Wrong...... He thought that perhaps the most appropriate way to describe it might be a misfit, because every once in a while, he would see something unbelievable—as if he had never really known Neverwinter.

Snake Fang finally understood why the workers who came here had to sign a confidentiality agreement.

The agreement required them not to pass on the visions they saw, whether oral or recorded, as a violation of Kingdom law, punishable by fines and confiscation of their earnings, to the North Slope mines, and forced labor. And the agreement also emphasizes that those who are unwilling to comply can quit the engineering team, but do not have a fluke mentality, and it is the Kingdom Security Service that is responsible for the inspection, and no one can escape the ubiquitous legal net.

Snake Tooth once disagreed with this, and there was still a possibility of being caught in the written record, so how could the oral account not be missed? If one was reported and one was arrested, then the project could not be carried out. But now, he had a completely different opinion, how many secrets Neverwinter was hidden under His Majesty's rule, probably far more than he could have imagined, and where most people could not see, there might be an astonishing power surging.

The one who impressed him the most was the witch.

White Paper is also a witch, but in his eyes he has always been an object in need of protection. When the church advertised that witches were evil people who had inherited the power of the devil, he did not take it to heart. If they are really so powerful, why are they still hunted by the church everywhere, and they usually don't even dare to show their heads?

But this notion is shattered by a witch named Lord Leaf.

Serpentfang never imagined that someone could control the entire jungle on their own.

The engineering team entered not a hidden forest, but the belly of a wild beast – especially when laying the railroad. Vines form a continuous net above the roadbed, and the rails are wrapped and dragged forward, and then hang down to the ground after reaching the designated place, like fruit on the vines. Wherever the railroad is built, the trees on both sides will be separated by themselves, and even the effort of cutting down will be saved. At the same time, the canopy of trees around it will grow so dense that it will completely cover the sky so as not to attract the attention of the devil.

In addition, the forest can also take the initiative to attack those beasts that are close to the engineering team, and if they can get a bowl of fresh broth one day, then it must be some beast that does not open its eyes and intrudes into the territory of Lord Leaf.

Snake Fang had the privilege of witnessing the other party, but he wasn't sure if Lord Leaf was still human. Her whole body has a strange green color, which looks like a gem from a distance. And act as if there is no substance, and you can walk freely between the branches.

If it had been him, he would have been so frightened that he would have screamed loudly - it was not surprising that this ghostly behavior and unbelievable appearance had been slandered as a devil's minions, and the only thought in his mind at that time was: Fortunately, the blank paper is not like this.

However, Snake Fang did not dislike the other party at all, and even felt sincere reverence. Because His Majesty once said at the award ceremony that the reason why he could keep everyone in Neverwinter fed was because of the help of the witch Leaf. Everyone who is freed from hunger and hardship is a beneficiary of her abilities, and for this merit alone, Ye Zi should be remembered forever.

Snake Tooth is naturally one of the beneficiaries.

In addition to the witch, another discovery may be his personal secret.

That was after the First Army entered the Hidden Forest.

Ever since the Devil attacked Neverwinter, the call for a counterattack had intensified, and he was not surprised that the day had come as the workers were discussing the issue, even in the wilderness.

Every day, a large number of soldiers are sent to the front, and it is clear that His Majesty the King intends to move in earnest. Unlike the knights he had seen before, most of the soldiers who went out were acquaintances from outside the neighborhood - either with this or with that, so whenever an army passed by, the workers would always welcome them, and the scene was not very lively. I thought that building a railway far from the border would be a cold and dangerous chore, but I didn't expect it to be like that at all.

Snake Fang's accumulation in this area is much worse, so he prefers to watch the train alone rather than squeeze in to join in the fun, and even climb up to touch the train when it stops.

But two weeks ago, what happened to him was horrifying.

It was the head of a six-car locomotive that stopped at the end of the section he was responsible for building, the latest construction of the railway. On top of the roofless flatbed were two huge objects, one alone measuring more than twenty meters in length, covered with a layer of canvas, and it was impossible to see what they were.

This was originally normal, if the goods transported had nothing to do with the engineering team, then they must be the military's supplies, and he had no intention of wanting to find out. But that day, the snake tooth was in a stomach, and when he ran out of the tent in the middle of the night, trying to find a place to release, he was shocked to see the canvas squirming!

After several samurai, who were obviously dressed differently from the soldiers of the First Army, untied the ropes that held the canvas in place, a sturdy soft monster crawled out of it! However, even more amazing was still behind, and the monster actually spoke in a beautiful voice! The first sentence was, "I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat?"

At that moment, Snake Fang felt a creep in his back, and he had almost made up the samurai's cold reply, "Ah, there is. The workers in this camp are all food, so go eat as much as you like. 」

But all this did not happen, the samurai embraced it affectionately, and subsequently brought ham, vegetables and bread from the last carriage...... They were all held in barrels one person high. The two worms gobbled up the food, and then disappeared into the forest with the samurai.

Snake Fang didn't even dare to breathe, and hid behind a tree until the footsteps faded away. By the time he confirmed that the other party had left, his pants were soaked......

Within two days, there was a strange stop next to the tracks—an arched building made of concrete and masonry, and inside was a large, bottomless hole that no one knew where it leads, even as the workers come and go. There are also several steam engines set up on both sides of the cave, and they are constantly blowing air into it, which is strange no matter how you look at it.

He also kept this matter firmly in his heart.

Snakefang thought he would be scared and want to quit the railroad engineering team, but afterwards his mentality recovered faster than he imagined - this is what life is called exciting! This is what Neverwinter is really like!

When he first arrived in the forest, he always felt like a duckweed without roots, especially when his co-workers received letters from their families and happily shared them with him. Gradually, however, he was drawn to all sorts of new events, such as the perfectly connected smooth tracks, the beautiful singing of the forest, the elusive giant sand wolf that would not be attacked by Lord Leaf, and the man who always came here to pray on certain days......

This made him feel that he was getting closer to the unknown side of Neverwinter, and he was also becoming one with the city a little.

Serpent wanted to keep it all in his heart, waiting to tell his friends one day—there was no better proof that he was an old city citizen than knowing a city, and no one could deny it, even if he didn't have so many neighbors he knew well.

The duration of the non-disclosure agreement is only five years.

He looked forward to that day.
