Chapter 277 Rail Road System

Colin flew towards the Mullvad mountain range with a lot of thoughts running through his head about the problems at hand. As he did, he remembered a few things about how humans mined precious materials, and he smiled as an idea brewed in his mind. The main problems here, was transportation speed, carrying capacity and the potential threats that could arise, in the form of hostile beasts and possibly demons. Colin's idea was to use a railway system that stretched from the Mullvad Mountain range to M town. That was a large distance, but it should be possible for the Bartus guild, he just needed to supervise it.

"Hey Colin." Paul greeted at the entrance to the caves that ran throughout the mountain range. It seems that they have used a different section than the one he used. Looking at Paul, Colin furrowed his brows, as the military man was covered in thick dust and blood.

"You know you can come back to town at anytime right? And their is a river literally a few meters away from you." Colin said and the werewolf laughed

"This, was accumulated within an hour, if I didn't take a bath since I got here, I would look much worse than this, trust me." Paul said and walked back into the caves

"I'm guessing you and the other werewolves are having a lot of fun then." Colin said as he followed after his subordinate.

"Hell yeah, there are a lot of tier 4 beasts in here, we have even discovered more species of them further down. We found these rat like creatures with long ears called Mutant Bilbies. We also discovered a species of preying mantis down here, they are especially tricky to hunt." Paul said

"Hunt huh. You guys should still be careful, just because you guys are strong, does mean you are invincible." Colin said

"We are being careful, that's why we haven't advanced too far into the mountains yet, we still have no idea just how many other species live here. There might even be tier 5s somewhere around here." Paul said and they soon arrived into a wide spacious chamber. The chamber was extremely wide and the ceiling was high up, it's walls and ceilings were reinforced by crystals, decreasing the chances of a collapse. At one side of the chamber, their was a huge pile of cursed ores and Colin nodded his head, as this was what he expected from the guild. He could also see that all the werewolves were transformed, watching closely over a cluster of black cocoons.

"A few of the leprechauns have started their evolutions, they have used our presence to gain some levels and subsequently evolved. That big one over their is Bartus." Paul said, pointing towards an especially large cocoon. Colin was rather happy at this news, as this meant that there was another tier 5 to help protect the family. And if Bartus chose to remain here, he wouldn't have to worry so much about Paul and the others dying from a tier 5 attack.

"That's good, although I came here to discuss something with him." Colin said

"Oh and what's that?" Paul asked

"I need to increase the rate of ores being transported into the town. I wanted to create a railway system from here to the town." Colin said

"That's a great idea, but, a railway system like that will take time, and only account for capacity. I'm not sure how long it would take to move such a cart from here to the town. Especially if you're planning to make it out of one of these guy's affinities." Said a werewolf as she went back into human form. Colin blinked twice, before averting his gaze as she was naked.

"Oh, don't tell me that you are a shy boy, my lord?" The werewolf teased

"Don't tease him Ashley." Paul said and walked over to her. He placed his hand on her shoulder and her entire body was covered by a red light, before she was covered in military uniform.

"Clever." Colin said, as he had never used his regalia on someone else before

"As I was saying, even with werewolf strength, pushing something across a railroad, that has a lot of friction, would take a long time maybe even longer than our current mode of travel. Not that your plan doesn't have merit." Ashley said

"So, how do we fix that?" He asked

"A bicycle. We create the railroad car and use gears and pedals to propel it forward. With our strength, it would be rather easy to generate enough force to move from here to the town." She replied and Colin nodded his head

"Can you guys make something like that?"

"Of course, I was a mechanic in the army after all." She said
