Angel was currently below the chasm, at the entrance to the Mirror World.
He could see that the openings in the four walls had regained their brightness, and the people of Windmill Town had overcome the disaster of the live wire, resuming their work. A large number of merchants, pushing carts filled with goods, came to the front of the Mirror World, waiting for the gates to open to enter and trade with the transcendent beings inside.
The appearance of Angel and Sanders drew sideways glances from some of the surrounding human inhabitants. However, once people guessed their identity as transcendent beings, they lowered their heads, not daring to look further.
Nevertheless, these ordinary people did not avoid them, which indicated that the transcendent beings of the Savage Grottoes actually had a relatively normal attitude towards ordinary people. At least, they did not oppressively kill them.
Sanders nodded to Angel without saying anything, then headed towards Windmill Town.
Angel was preparing to enter the Mirror World, his entry time coincidentally during the period when the Mirror World was open to ordinary people.
The slightly curved mirror surface suddenly lit up with a faint glow, and a youth in a black leather coat with a cold expression floated out from the mirror. Upon appearing, he didn’t say anything and walked directly to the edge of the cliff, his arms folded, gazing at the crowd of ordinary people dragging their goods.
Clearly, he was the apprentice in charge of monitoring the entry and exit of ordinary people this time.
“Step onto the mirror surface in order, and don’t make any unnecessary movements, or you know the consequences,” the youth said while extending his hand to stroke a strange spider that was crawling out from his sleeve.
Despite his young age, his gaze was clearly harsh, looking at the surrounding mortals without a trace of emotion, as if he were a god high above and they were mere ants groveling on the ground.
It was precisely because of the youth’s arrogant demeanor, and the fear of the spider on his body, that a merchant who was originally holding a delicate little box, intending to ingratiate himself with the transcendent beings, also stopped in his tracks.
The young man was clearly aware of the merchant’s actions; he merely scoffed coldly, his eyes brimming with scorn.
His gaze swept around and finally settled on Angel.
At this moment, Angel was standing on the mirror surface.
The young man opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, he said nothing. Because the red-haired, golden-eyed man opposite him, even without emitting any aura, merely stood there with a presence that was startlingly imposing.
Angel could contain his aura, but there was no need.
The young man acknowledged Angel as a transcendent being, and definitely one stronger than him, so he dared not act rashly in Angel’s presence, merely standing quietly to the side, not looking at Angel again.
However, Angel was observing the young man, thinking to himself, “Indeed, coldness and cruelty are ingrained in his bones. Although he was full of cynicism before, it was never to the extent that it is now, viewing humans as ants, completely forgetting he is also human.”
Yes, Angel knew this young man.
——Vonman.
He was one of the talented individuals Angel had brought from the Old Land Continent to the Savage Grottoes. Vonman and the mutilated Guina, both characterized by a distinct egoism, were young yet cruel and cold-hearted, frequently scheming against others’ lives as if it were nothing, even if the other party had shown kindness to them, or even if the other party was just a child. They could still mercilessly kill without batting an eye.
Good and evil were never concerns for Vonman and Guina; their only concern was how to survive.
Although Angel disapproved of their actions, considering their living environment, he could somewhat accept it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have brought them all the way from the Old Land Continent to the Savage Grottoes.
Vonman’s current transformation was actually within Angel’s expectations. Originally, Vonman was a mad and cruel person who didn’t care about other humans; the only person he cared about was Guina. When he encountered the transcendent world and heard the extreme statements of some transcendents, such as “Wizards have transcended humanity and no longer belong to the lowly humans,” it was normal for Vonman to become what he is now.
Initially, when Angel first stepped into the transcendent threshold, he also pondered the question of whether “wizards still count as humans.” Later, he realized it was a pseudo-proposition and stopped thinking about it. This is because Angel had a complete worldview, but Vonman didn’t; his heart was filled with hatred and was easily engulfed by these statements.
Angel could discern Vonman’s thoughts, but he didn’t plan to correct them. Whatever Vonman thought was just a variation in social interactions and might have some minor long-term impact, but at least there would be no change in the medium to short term. Moreover, Angel didn’t need to meddle in his life.
As one after another, ordinary people, dragging their goods, stepped onto the mirror, Vonman put away his impatient look and returned to the center of the mirror to prepare to open the channel.
However, just as the mirror began to emit a faint light, a girl dressed in an animal skin skirt suddenly burst out from the passageway in the cliff.
“Can you wait a moment, lord wizard?” the girl asked, dragging a sack nearly twice her size out from the cliff. Clearly, she was also planning to enter the Mirror World to conduct business.
Vonman didn’t even glance at the girl and coldly snorted: “Scram.”
The girl turned pale, standing on the edge of the mirror, somewhat at a loss.
Angel slightly raised his eyebrows; he had seen this girl before… she was the refugee from the Eternal Night Kingdom he had encountered when he first went to the ruins with Tree Spirit. As it turned out, he had advised her that the only way to survive was to jump into the chasm.
Unexpectedly, she really did jump. Seeing her now with large and small bags of animal skins for sale, it seems that it wasn’t just her who jumped, but probably half of her tribe had entered Windmill Town.
Although Angel had saved the girl at the time, he didn’t plan to stand up for her now. If she couldn’t go in this time, she could always wait for the next.
And indeed, Vonman had accepted the task and had been conducting it according to the rules. He had the right to refuse those who did not enter the mirror within the specified time.
However, just as the girl was disheartened and preparing to return to Windmill Town, a tall man emerged from the tunnel.
“Wait.”
Vonman was visibly annoyed and looked up at the speaker. He was about to rebuke, but his expression changed instantly when he saw who it was.
Without a word, Vonman paused the activation of the gateway, clearly heeding the other’s suggestion.
The man walked up to the girl and patted her shoulder, “Let’s go, I’m heading in too. Let’s go together.”
The girl and the man smoothly made it to the mirror’s surface.
Angel watched the man with a strange expression… wondering why, after such a long absence, Old Acquaintances were suddenly appearing.
This man was not unfamiliar to Angel. He was the talented individual who had entered the Savage Grottoes with him, but due to some stringent reasons, was later assigned to a place beyond the Mirror World, Ludwig.
