The wheels made much harsher friction sounds as it drove at a fixed pace all the way through the unknown depths of the Underground World. In the deep dark tunnel, the train is moving forward along a set path. Several lights can be seen from time to time dimly illuminating the earthen soil walls.


Half an hour later, the train drove all the way into the huge Underground World.


Angel was shocked by the magnitude of the Underground World. It was surrounded by secluded forests and babbling streams as well as wild animals. At first glance, Angel couldn’t even see the end of this world. If he hadn’t seen it personally, Angel wouldn’t have believed this place was the underground.


From the window of the train, even though the top can’t be seen overhead, it was still as bright as day.


“A plant with some kind of root system is directly attached to the surface world. It absorbs sunlight from the outside world and transmits this sunlight to the Underground World. In the evening, it can also absorb the faint radiance of the stars and moons. Allowing the Underground World to also be immersed in the brilliance of the stars and moon.” Promi sighed heavily as he said: “Although the local populace in the Underground World is cruel and fierce. This is because of the criminals which gathered from all over the surface world as they head straight down into the Underground World. It has been said that the creation of magic of this s.p.a.ce was a gift from the Heavens to people in the Underground World.”


The true scientific name of the underground people is called Lower Sian Sub-Human, which also belongs to one of the branches of the human genus. Although they are also considered human beings, intellectuals still consider them different from mainstream human beings.


Seen from the naked eye, the height of a Lower Sian Sub-Human will generally be lower than other known humans. Although there are also two-meter tall Lower Sian Sub-Humans. But in terms of the average population as a whole, the whole Lower Sian Sub-Humans are generally shorter than known humans such as the Karabi people.


Of course from the perspective of their character, just like what is known of other humans. They are also diversified by having good and evil. But these underground dwellers are generally partial to evil. They must fight to occupy the underground s.p.a.ce, so the customs and traditions in the underground are very cruel and b.l.o.o.d.y.


As soon as Angel got off the train. He saw the extent of this cruelty.—


Knowing there were transcendent people on the train. Some of these mortals dared to steal even the purse from an apprentice. The mortal who had shown their spoils openly was directly burned to ashes by an angry apprentice casting a fire spell.


Of course, even if there are still a few mortals who dare to steal from transcendent people. The vast majority of mortals, when they see transcendent people, always have respectful expressions and stand far away as to avoid possible ire.


The railway station is located on the northern outskirts of Shadow Demon City. When Angel can see the outline of the capital of Shadow Demon Kingdom from afar, they get off.


The territory covers a vast area and has various buildings. At a glance, he can’t see the complete boundary of the city. Angel made a slight comparison between the capital of the underground Shadow Demon Kingdom and the cities in China on Earth. The Shadow Demon City can’t compare with the first-tier cities of China in terms of infrastructure, population and area. It is estimated this capital is on the same level as the second-tier cities of China.


But even so, this is a rare mega-city in the Southern Region.


A whiff of smoke drifted over and Angel choked as he breathed in the heavy oil fumes. Covering his nose, he gave a frowning expression. Just now, he saw the steam boiler in the railway station and watched as someone threw in some kind of combustible fuel that produced slag and fumes.


Only after careful observation can he see a layer of thick black ash on the leaves of plants at the periphery of the city. The air is also filled with a large number of fumes and haze.


“Since the railroad tracks in Splendor Country were built all the way to Shadow Demon City. The air in the Underground World began deteriorating. Mortal vehicles can only travel by polluting the air. I have to say, this is a short-sighted approach.” When Promi saw Angel looking at the boiler, he approached him and elaborated to him in detail about the pollution.


“At least with this convenient mode of transportation, economic exchanges between countries are much easier than before.” Angel said.


“This is one of the few benefits.” Promi pointed to the distant city and said: “Let’s go, staying in the mortal’s territory will always cause a commotion. We’ll head to Twilight Deep Well first, at least the air quality there is much better than here.”


Before Angel could understand what the “commotion” was. He saw a group of men and women dressed up as aristocrats, rushing to the railway station with a few tiny children. They were gasping for breath with heads full of sweat.


When the group of aristocrats saw the brilliant clothes. They took their children with them and knelt down to their knees before them. As these people were kneeling, they then said: “Lord, please accept my child. You can see how white and tender this child is. I’m sure he’ll grow up to be handsome in the future. Even if he becomes a servant!”


Angel understood at this time that these people had come to pay homage to a teacher. However, Angel remembers although there are dozens of wizard apprentices in this train station. Except for Promi, all of them are below second level apprentice. If these children worship these people as teachers, they may be unable to come to the forefront in status. What’s more, if they want to enter the transcendent world, they can’t rely on outer appearance alone. They need to bring their own talent.


But mortals don’t understand this. They just hope their children can become wizards. Doing so can help protect the family’s prosperity for several generations.


It’s no wonder the wizard world’s special feature is hiding from the mundane world. Otherwise, there will always be a commotion. What else is there to do?


Promi’s outfit is very gorgeous, so he has obviously become the target of this group of aristocrats kneeling down. When Promi saw a large group of people running towards him. He sighed and patted his sleeve, ready to hastily deal with them. If it weren’t for him trying to get closer to Angel. He would’ve travelled by using his flying craft, so he wouldn’t be surrounded and blocked by these mortals.


According to Promi’s previous character, this group of mortals will directly be blown away dozens of meters by the wind from his sleeve before being able to approach him. However, Angel is by his side today. He gradually understood from David’s interaction with Angel that his character is more peaceful and gentle towards mortals. Therefore, in order to not gain Angel’s hate, he intends to casually deal with this group of mortals.


Promi’s “superior” posture has been put on display. He is just waiting for this group of mortals to kneel down and lick his boots. But before they approached, he heard the sound of an alarm coming from a nearby boiler.


“Over pressurized-boiler?” Promi said in surprise.


Everyone looked in the direction of the boiler, including the aristocrats.


Only a thick layer of white smoke floated out of the boiler as it shrouds the whole railway station in less than two or three seconds.


There are faint murmurs around: “There is too much smoke, mortal constructions are too rubbish.”


“Yes, let’s take advantage of the heavy smoke and directly get out of here.” Someone said.


“Wait, I can’t clearly see what’s in front. I’ll use a wind spell to blow this smoke away. Let’s talk about… Hey, wait! This is no ordinary smoke. The wind can’t move this smoke… At all.”


At this time, Promi’s brow wrinkled slightly. He was just trying to figure out what was happening until he felt someone gently pat him from behind.


With this pat, all the smoke in front of him disappeared. What white fog, what loud noise and what over-pressurized boiler. These were all fake! Although the surrounding air was still full of haze, his line of sight became clear.


“Angel, let me know in advance next time you cast your fantasy world. You scared me.” At this moment David came up from one side and said: “If you hadn’t gave me a pat from behind, I would’ve run out.”


As David’s voice sounded, Promi appeared and was motioned over by Angel.


“Was that a fantasy world just now?” Promi didn’t feel it just now. But in retrospect, he felt something was wrong. Even the over-pressurized boiler wouldn’t have produced so much fog, and the speed of this fog dispersion was too fast.


Clearly, there are so many flaws, but why didn’t he see through the illusion just now? Promi looked at Angel with an expression of horror.


“This is just a simple illusion spell, lest this group of aristocrats haunt us again. Let’s not continue getting involved with them and go.” Angel motioned to Promi.


Promi nodded.


As three men walked out of the fog, there were bursts of swearing on the platform.


“No, something is wrong. This isn’t real steam!” An apprentice said.


“This is a fantasy world. Someone has cast an illusion spell!” Another apprentice added.


“I x.x.x, demand someone tell me who is fooling around and pulling the wool over us by casting an illusion spell!” An apprentice demanded.


“How is this illusion spell unbroken? Didn’t we already see through it? Shouldn’t the illusion spell naturally disappear? Why is there smoke still here?” An apprentice questioned.


David turned his head and saw a group of second level apprentices performing a “mime act” on the railway station train platform. His heart was also shaken. Angel cast an illusion spell and trapped so many people?! And many of these people are at a higher realm than Angel!


Luckily, Angel is his friend. When David really thought about it. At his level, he guesses he would end up the same as this group of people on the train platform. Even if he knew something was wrong, there would be no way for him to break it.


“Angel, what about them?” David pointed to the group of apprentices on the train station platform who were still stuck in the spell.


Angel shrugged as he said: “The range of the illusion spell which I have arranged is so large that it will stop when I come out. Or if some of them find the illusion spell node position and destroy it, the fantasy world will disappear.”


“What should the mortals do?” David asked.


“I used enough magic power for it to only last about five minutes. It will be fine by then.” Angel said.


At this time, Promi also praised him: “Your illusion spell is really amazing. If you go and climb the tower at this time, you will probably not have to rely on alchemy weapons or Toby to reach the top.”


Angel waved his hand as he said: “If I cast the illusion spell too many times, the other contestants will be on guard against it. Moreover, my attack power isn’t enough, so I still have to rely on alchemy weapons to make up for my lack of damage.”


Just as they were talking, Angel felt the fantasy world behind them being broken.


“Someone found the illusion spell node.” Angel raised his brow slightly and wanted to see who had found the illusion spell node so quickly. But if he looked back, the person could have found he was the one casting the illusion spell, then he would have no choice but to run: “Forget it. Anyway, let’s go first.”


Not long after Angel and the others left. A group of disheartened apprentices rushed out of the fog.


“Which grandson did this? Let this grandfather fight with you!” An apprentice demanded.


“I won’t leave today without killing you!” Another apprentice said.


Despite their shouts, the troublemaker is long gone.


Behind the crowd, a woman decorated with branches and leaves all over her body softly whispered to the person near her: “This illusion spell seems to be a Rewind Sound Illusion, ah… I remember you once wanted to learn this spell.”


“Yes, this is a Rewind Sound Illusion. However, the person who arranged this illusion spell is much better than me. They have used some unknown methods to directly block our judgment of flaws. If the other party didn’t continue controlling our senses, I think it would be very difficult to break this spell.” The speaker was a s.e.xy and beautiful woman who was wearing a glittering tulle with only her twin peaks and b.u.t.tocks wrapped with a purple silk cloth: “I dare say this fantasy world was definitely arranged just now by someone truly in the illusion system. This person definitely has high attainments in this system. The feeling of our subjective judgment being blinded isn’t what anyone can do.”


“Someone in the illusion system… I still remember many people in this Mystical Branch System, but I just don’t know who arranged this illusion.” The woman covered in vines and leaves said in a low voice.


“There isn’t any smell of blood. It seems they were too lazy too deal with these aristocrats and instead cast this fantasy world. In this way, not only the mortals are only left startled, but also this group of small apprentices have been held up. This group of mortals who don’t know how high the Heavens reach or how lucky they are.” The tulle covered beauty said, leaning lazily on her girlfriend’s shoulder as she said: “Oh dear, Miss Daisy, didn’t you say you had a treasure? Will you show it to me later?”


Daisy shook her head and said: “Anna, forget about this! I am exchanging it for an intermediate Prynne Potion. If I showed it to you, you would definitely want to take it.”


The tulle covered beauty named Anna said as she curled her lips: “What’s the big deal? Is it so precious I can’t even take a look at it?”
