Black Sail

Aran Imperial City.

Belonging to the Eternal Sect, the building complex for clergy residences in the religious district was impeccably clean. The sacred white bricks and eaves were uniform in color, complemented by vibrant trees, lawns, and climbing plants. The well-ordered and uniform architectural style of the houses gave the appearance that this place was indeed a sanctuary.

A single-bedroom apartment in a six-story building.

Sharon took off her black nun’s hat and yawned incessantly, carelessly tossing the piece of "rubbish" to the floor as if discarding trash.

She was in no mood to cook.

The weekly pilgrimage and hymn singing that day had left her drenched in sweat. Having just got home, she collapsed onto her desk for a brief rest, not daring to lie down on the bed for fear of falling asleep until dawn and disrupting her biological clock.

Working at the Church Court, there was absolutely nothing to do during slack times, but once it got busy, the array of activities was overwhelming and the work seemed inhuman.

She didn’t have any true devotion to the Dragon Lord, but she needed to eat.

But these days had been very busy, as the cargo steam train had already proved its value. Operating for over a month between the Imperial City and Chenxi Port, it had resolved the issue of goods piling up at the port and increased throughput. In the long run, the profits were incredibly promising.

The trial operation for the passenger train was already scheduled, and it was estimated that in a month, some nobles would be invited to experience this novel invention.

Although steam trains had just been created, the concept of the Magic Energy Industry had long existed in this world, with some precision machinery being powered by Magic Energy and even the existence of mechanical automatons.
