Eisen stood up from his seat and stretched. He looked at the watch on his wrist, double-checking the time in this world.


    "Alright," the old man muttered, seeing that everything was perfectly in order. He was about to step outside to work on something, but just as he approached the door, Constant approached the workshop. With a smile, Eisen waited. When the guardian came close enough to the workshop, he suddenly shuddered and stretched his limbs.


    "Did you conncet properly?" the old man asked, and Constant quickly looked up at him with a massive grin on his face.


    "Yes! Everything works perfectly!" he eximed, "Again, thank you so much for doing this for me, I... I never thought I could really see the ind beyond the castle''s gardens. Thank you."


    The old man ruffled Constant''s hair as he stepped outside, "Of course. There''s nothing you have to thank me for, it''s how it should have been from the beginning."


    Eisen saw the guardian''s almost ecstatic smile as he followed the old man. Curiously, he looked over at him, "So, tell me. Have you made any friends?"


    Constant flinched. He averted his gaze nervously and looked down at the ground, "I... didn''t talk to anyone... I was just walking around, but I was too scared to say hello..."


    Eisen raised his brows with a bit of concern. He should have known that something like this was going to happen. Constant had been confined to this workshop his whole life. There waas no way he would actually know how to socialize with others.


    "I can introduce you to some people next time. You can just go visit them while you''re out sometimes," the old man suggested, and Constant''s nervosity quickly turned back to excitement.


    "Really? That would be wonderful!"


    "Don''t mention it, kid," Eisen smiled, approaching the side of the workshop. In front of him stood a train''s undercarriage. There were a few more kept slightly further away, since Eisen wanted to concentrate on one at a time. He was going to work on the train carriages now.


    He had some things that Evalia drew up for the designs with him a well, so he could concentrate on the structural aspect first and foremost and then work on all the intricate carvings based on what the artist of the team thought would be best.


    And as for the carriages themselves; it was quite straightforward. They just needed to befortable to ride in on the inside. The only issue was that he was dealing with nobility here. Especially the envoysing from the central continent would expect something of particrly high quality andfort.


    Not to mention that Eisen wanted to give them something far better than they would usually expect to impress them even more.


    But first, he had to get started on the base framework. This was done easily by just adding some wooden pirs along the edges. The outside was then fitted with somerge boards, leaving space for the windows that would cover the upper two-thirds of the side walls.


    Onto the walls, he added simr materials that he had made use of for a lot of Khan''s cabin''s interior. The crystal foam. However, instead of using it for furniture, Eisen enchanted it with temperature-controlling enchantments and some noise-cancetion, as well as a number of protective enchantments that would keep whoever was travelling inside safe.


    At the end of the day, they were still nobles, so that was a necessity, even if just for peace of mind.

    Over that, Eisen ced more wooden sheets onto the inside of the carriage. The roof was fairly simple and slightly rounded, once more leaving some space for windows to be installed on the ceiling.


    One of the selling points of the trains would be the view that you could experience from within them; Eisen had specifically picked out picturesque routes for the railwaywork, so he wanted to make it as easy as possible for everyone to enjoy the work that was put into it all.


    The windows were simple ss panes strengthened through some crystals and enchantments that would make them shatter-proof, except for when using a specific other gemstone that would be ced near the windows, an emergency system that you often saw in modern trains and buses. And then, Eisen could get started with the interior. And here was the part that was going to be different for each carriage.


    Since Eisen wanted to impress the envoys and get them into a good mood, he was going to make each carriage customized toward whatever country in question. Luckily, Eisen already had the list of exactly which individuals were going to attend, so he could actually fine-tune things to their tastes. Komer did an amazing job learning about the envoys'' backgrounds and personal tastes.


    Eisen and Evalia had already prepared a few different things together, that mostly being carpets, decoration, such as paintings and busts, as well as fabrics for things like table-covers, nkets, and curtains.


    Of course, since the trips would still end up taking quite a long time, travelling across half the archipgo at a time, Eisen needed to provide them with some beds and things to spend their time doing. For that, he was going to build some customized bookshelves as well and provide board-games that the envoys could y with each other.


    After Eisen installed the proper flooring and added the carpets on top, he ced some of the pre-made furniture inside. Of course, he had to weigh them down a bit to make sure they wouldn''t move even if it came to some rattling, though that shouldn''t be happening in the first ce due to the shock-absorbant undercarriage.


    The curtains were hung up by the windows, and the mattress and nkets were all properly ced onto the beds, of course also safely attached.


    So that each envoy could have some privacy even if multiple were travelling within the same carriage, Eisen added a very simple deployable barrier around each bed that would disallow anyone from seeing inside of it, while allowing the person inside to look out for their own safety.


    He ced the books into the shelves, keeping them in ce with a small lip ced in front that would prevent them from just sliding out. Jyuuk had also prepared some potted nts and flowers to be added onto the inside to make it just seem a bit more high-ss.


    Finishing all the intricate engravings on the outside wasn''t hard either, it just took a little while due to theplexity of what Evalia came up with, and before long, the first of the carriages was done... but it was only the first of many.


    Eisen was going to need to do this not only for the envoys from the central continent, but also for the ones from the giants'' country, obviously. And not only that, but he needed to create servants'' quarters as well, but at least those could all be the same throughout. They would still be high-quality, of course, but most servants usually weren''t as picky and uptight as the people they served.


    Plus, if any of the envoys brought more servants than expected, it would be easy to expand the chain of carriages.


    The only issue that might pop up would be the weight of all the carriages that the lotive would have to pull. That''s why the regr train would be kept down in size as much as necessary, to avoid overconsumption of mana, but this train''s lotive would be strengthened as much as it needed to be so that it could handle everything without issues and reach fast, yet safe speeds.


    Eisen increased his size and carefully picked up the train carriage. By holding it at the undercarriage, he was actually able to see the stabilization on the inside. Nothing was rattling too much, so he was very relieved to see this. The old man brought the carriage to the side, and picked up another one of the undercarriages, getting ready to start on number two.


    He was probably going to be working on just this for the next few days, but at least it was satisfying work at the end of the day. Plus, these could be great to use as a reference for any other higher-ss train carriages that would be built in the future, not just by Eisen himself.


    Either way, the work that Eisen was doing now was going to pay off, one way or another.
