Screeeech!!!!
The train let out a teeth-grating screech, as though announcing to its passengers that they had arrived at a station.
This stop was Cheng Yu's Constantine City.
Although it was not a major city-state like Frederick City, it was by no means small.
Constantine City had a population of roughly five million and was also one of the Freestan Confederation's railway hubs.
It ranked among the top five cities in the Freestan Confederation in terms of wealth.
As a marquis of the Confederate States, and, more importantly, the ruler of this city-state, Cheng Yu held a special position.
He enjoyed absolute privileges.
For example, the other passengers could only disembark after he had done so, a measure intended to ensure his safety.
Of course, as a seventh-tier magician, there were very few beings in this world who could threaten him in the first place.

Cheng Yu replied softly.
"Mm, understood."
The girl opened the door, holding a soft, pale red cloak with a fur collar.
As Cheng Yu stepped out of the compartment, the girl's fingers fluttered gently, and the cloak wrapped itself around him as though it had come alive.
When Cheng Yu stepped off the train, he once again saw fully equipped soldiers dressed as mages in black cloaks, standing in ranks on either side of the exit.

everyone on the platform bowed.
"My lord!"
When he reached the old man, Cheng Yu smiled and said,
"Thank you for your efforts, everyone. Did anything unusual happen while I was away, William?"
The old man
