Main Text Volume Chapter 255 Abnormality of Illusion
The wheels rolled with a fixed frequency of friction as they drove all the way to the unknown depths of the earth. In the deep and dark tunnel, as the train moves forward, you can see a few candlelights from time to time, illuminating a dim earth wall.
Half an hour later, the train drove all the way into a huge inner earth world.
Angel was shocked by the enormity of this inner earth world. It was surrounded by secluded forests, gurgling creeks, and wild animals. It was impossible to see the end of the world at a glance. If he hadn't seen it in person, Angel wouldn't have been able to see this place at all. It's underground!
I stretched my head out of the train window and looked up. I couldn't see the top at a glance, but it was as bright as day.
"There is some kind of plant on the top with roots directly connected to the ground. It absorbs sunlight from the outside world and transmits it to the center of the earth. At night, it can also absorb the meager light of the stars and the moon, allowing the inner world to be immersed in starlight." Promi sighed: "Although the Black Demon Kingdom has a violent folk custom and a gathering of criminals from all over the world due to the brutality of the underground ethnic groups, it must be said that the miraculous creation of this space is a gift from God to the underground human race."
The real scientific name of the underground people is Thythians, and they are also one of the branches of the genus Homo. Although they are also called humans, they are still different from the mainstream Zhiren.
From the naked eye, the height of the Thythians will be shorter than that of Chihito. Although there are some Thythians who are over two meters tall, but based on the average value of the entire Thythia people, they are generally lower than Chihito and Karabit. people.
In terms of personality, of course, like Zhiren, they are also diverse, with some good and some evil. But they are generally biased towards evil, and there are few underground materials, which must be fought over to occupy, so the folk customs are very fierce.
As soon as Angel got off the train, he saw how fierce he was——
Even though he knew that there were mortals on the train, some people actually dared to commit petty theft. He was discovered while taking away an apprentice's money bag, and was burnt to a crisp by the furious apprentice using fire.
Of course, there are still very few mortals who dare to steal mortal items. The vast majority of mortals, when seeing mortals, would stay away with respectful expressions.
The train station is located in the northern suburbs of Dark Demon City. After Angel got off the train, he could see the outline of the capital city of Dark Demon Kingdom in the distance.
It occupies a huge area and has many diverse buildings. The city boundaries cannot be seen at a glance. Angel briefly compared the capital of the Dark Demon Kingdom with the cities of the Chinese Kingdom on Earth. In terms of infrastructure, population, and area, the Dark Demon City cannot be compared with the first-tier cities of the Chinese Kingdom. It is estimated that it is only at the level of a second-tier city.
But even so, it is a rare giant city in the Southern Region.
A smell of oil smoke wafted over, and Angel choked. I covered my nose and frowned, and then I saw that someone was burning some kind of flammable dirty oil in the steam boiler in the train station.
After careful observation, I discovered that thick black ash can be seen on the leaves of plants in the suburbs, and the air is also filled with a lot of dust haze.
"Ever since the railroad tracks from Yirong Kingdom were built into Night Demon City, the air in the inner earth world has started to get worse. Mortal vehicles can only travel in this way that pollutes the air. I have to say that it is short-sighted." Seeing Angel looking towards the boiler, Promi approached and talked to him in detail.
"At least economic exchanges between countries are much easier because of convenient transportation." Angel said.
"This is one of the few benefits." Prome pointed to the distant city: "Let's go, staying in the mortal world will always cause commotion, so we should go to the Dusk Well first, at least the air there is much better than here. "
Before Angel could understand what "commotion" meant, he saw a group of men and women dressed as nobles, with a few little ones rushing to the train station, sweating and panting.
When these nobles saw those whose clothes shone with extraordinary brilliance, they pulled their children and knelt in front of them, and then they knelt down as well, chanting: "Please accept my child. Look at this child, who is white and tender." Yes, I will definitely look good in the future, even if I am a servant!"
Angel then understood that he was here to become a disciple. However, Angel remembered that although there were dozens of wizard apprentices in this car, except for Prome, they were all second-level apprentices or below. If you take these people as your teachers, you probably won’t get ahead. What's more, if you want to step into the mortal world, you don't rely on luck, but you need to have talent.
But ordinary people don't understand. They just hope that their children can become wizards so that their family can be prosperous for several generations.
No wonder wizards hide their special features even in the ordinary world. Otherwise, why would they always cause commotion?
Promi's dress was very gorgeous, so he obviously became the object of kneeling worship by the nobles. When Promi saw the large group of people running towards him, he sighed, patted his sleeves and prepared to deal with it hastily. If he hadn't come here in his own flying vehicle to get closer to Angel, he wouldn't have been surrounded by mortals.
According to Promi's past personality, these mortals would have been blown dozens of meters away by his sleeves before they even got close to him. But Angel was by his side, and from David's words, he gradually understood that Angel's character was more peaceful, and he was also gentle to mortals, so in order not to hate Angel, he still planned to deal with these mortals casually.
Promi had already put on his "master" posture, waiting for the group of mortals to kneel down and lick him, but before they could walk in, he heard an astonishing sound coming from the nearby boiler.
"Did it blow up?" Promi asked in surprise.
Everyone looked towards the boiler, including the group of nobles.
Only layers of thick white smoke were seen floating out from the boiler, covering the entire train station in two or three seconds.
There were faint sounds coming from the surroundings: "This smoke is too big, mortal things are just garbage."
"Yeah, let's go straight ahead while the smoke is thick."
"Wait, I can't see clearly ahead, I'll use wind magic to blow the smoke away first... Hey, no! This is not ordinary smoke, the wind can't blow it away at all..."
Prome frowned slightly at this time, and when he was about to find out what was going on, he felt someone patted him gently from behind.
With this pat, all the smoke in front of him disappeared. What white fog, what loud noise, what explosion, are all fake! Although there is some dust and haze in the air around, the sight is still clear and flawless.
"Angel, next time you create an illusion, tell me in advance, you scared me a lot." At this time, David came over from the side, "If you hadn't patted me, I would have run out."
As David's voice sounded, Prome revealed that the person who patted him was Angel.
"Was it an illusion just now?" Prome didn't feel it just now, but when he thought about it now, he felt something was wrong. Even if it was an explosion furnace, there wouldn't be so much fog, and the speed at which the fog dispersed was too fast.
There were so many incongruities, why didn't he see through it just now? Prometheus looked at Angell in shock.
"A simple illusion, so that the nobles won't come back again. Let's go." Angell gestured to Prometheus.
Prometheus nodded.
When the three of them walked out, there were bursts of curses on the platform.
"Something's wrong, this is not real fog!" "This is an illusion, someone is using an illusion!" "Fuck, who is playing around, using a woolen illusion here!" "How to break this illusion? Isn't it natural to see through the illusion? Why is the fog still there..."
David turned his head and saw a group of second-level apprentices performing a "pantomime" on the train platform. He was also shocked. Angell actually used an illusion to trap so many people? ! And there are so many people with higher levels than Angell!
Fortunately, Angell is his friend. David thought about it. With his level, he estimated that he would end up like the group of people on the platform. Even if he found something wrong, he couldn't break it.
"Angel, what should we do with them?" David pointed at the apprentices who were dancing wildly at the train station.
Angel shrugged: "The range of the illusion I set is so large, it will be over if they walk out. Or if someone finds the illusion node and breaks it, the illusion will disappear."
"What should mortals do?"
"The magic power I use only lasts for five minutes. It will be fine then." Angel said.
Prometheus also praised at this time: "Your illusion is really amazing. If you climb the tower now, you can probably reach the top without relying on alchemical weapons and Toby."
Angel waved his hand: "If you use illusions too much, others will be on guard. And my attack power is insufficient, so I still have to rely on alchemical weapons to make up for the damage."
As they were talking, Angel felt that the illusion behind him had cracked.
"Someone has found the illusion node." Angell raised his eyebrows slightly. He originally wanted to see who found the illusion node so quickly, but then he thought that if he was caught as the one who released the illusion, he would be in trouble: "Forget it, never mind, let's go first."
Not long after Angell and others left, a group of apprentices with dusty faces rushed out.
"Which grandson did it? Come and fight!"
"I won't leave today unless I kill you!"
No matter how they shouted, the troublemaker had already gone far away.
Behind the crowd, a woman with branches and leaves all over her body whispered to the people around her: "This illusion seems to be the Wanyin illusion... I remember you seem to have learned this trick before."
"Yes, it is the Wanyin illusion. But the person who set up this illusion is much smarter than me. He used an unknown method to directly block our judgment of the sense of disobedience. If the other party did not continue to control our senses, I think it would be difficult to break this magic." The person who spoke was a sexy beauty covered with a tulle with only purple silk wrapped around her breasts and hips: "I dare to say that the illusion just now must have been set up by a real illusionist, and he is definitely a person with extremely high talent. The feeling of being blinded by even subjective judgment is not something that anyone can do."
"People from the illusion department... I remember that there are quite a lot of people from this department in the mysterious side, and I don't know which one did it." The woman wearing a woven dress with branches and leaves whispered.
"There is no smell of blood. It seems that they feel that these nobles are too annoying, so they created the illusion. This is good. Not only can it shock the mortals, but it also lets the apprentices who are praised by the mortals know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is." After the gauze beauty said this, she leaned lazily on her girlfriend's shoulder: "Oh, dear Ms. Daiquesi, didn't you say you got a rare treasure? Let me see it later?"
Daiquesi shook her head: "Anna, just give up this idea! I plan to use it to exchange for the intermediate white orchid potion. If I show it to you, you will definitely snatch it away."
The gauze beauty Anna pouted: "What is so precious? It's not enough to just look at it."
