The luxurious Mingyao carriage is flowing with magical light, and the spotless carriage is extremely bright.

Leather seats sit in the middle of the carriage, and an elegant crystal coffee table sits on the floor of the carriage, on which a white ceramic teacup is filled with steaming milk.

Through the window, you can clearly see that the train is passing high in the sky.

The magic tracks beneath it unfold in the air like a dream, leading the train soaring between the blue sky and white clouds.

Shuttle through the brilliant rainbow, feel the dry cold and fresh air, and continue to make your way towards the distant kingdom of Kanter.

Birds in the sky fly happily in flocks and chirp cheerfully.

The sun is shining, making the white clouds seem to be depicted in a gentle curve.

In this comfortable carriage, Aurelian sat alone on the leather sofa, and the air of dignity was needless to say.

Occasionally, Mr. Victor would come to visit, but more often than not, he would be immersed in other carriages.

Didn't know what was being done.

It's just that the entire first-class carriage is not alone.

At this time, Xiang Zilan, the maid with the cat's ears up, was busy in Aurelian's sight.

Dressed in a black and white maid outfit, she skillfully prepares refreshments for the princess, brews tea, and pours milk......

While she was working, the cat's ears on the top of her head twitched, and her tail hung down slowly, swaying slightly from side to side.

Every subtle movement of Vanilla was carefully scrutinized by Aurelian.

Does she really like the chores? ’

Aurelian stared at Xiang Zilan, who was happily working, with doubts in her heart, and some complicated emotions flashed in her eyes.

Asian maid ..... Is it?

She hadn't had much contact with subhumans before, mostly superficially understanding.

I only remember the team of subhumans who followed her when she was training in the adventurer's capital.

Since then, Aurelian has developed a certain understanding of the discipline and combat effectiveness of these sub-people.

And then?

Before Aurelian could continue to think, Vanilla had already brewed new tea and milk.

She took the white ceramic teapot and walked with light and silent steps to the front of Aurelian.

Vanilla bowed slightly, adding warm milk to the teacup in front of Aurelian.

White heat spills out of the teacup and spins in the air, carrying the fresh scent of milk.

Xiang Zilan bowed slightly to her and said:

"Your Royal Highness Princess, please use it."

Aurelian thanked Xiangzilan and nodded slightly.

Trying the milk made by the subhumans for the first time made Aurelien feel very new.

I don't know what the cat lady's milk tastes like.

Aurelian picked up her teacup and took a sip of milk.

When the rich milky aroma poured into her mouth, Aurelian put down her teacup and savored it.

Although the taste is still jerky compared to those of the experienced maids, the vanilla is already quite well cooked.

Especially for the sub-people, it has done very well.

The hands of subhumans are not meant to do these things.

Their hands were originally used as hunting weapons, and they were natural claws.

Considering the physical characteristics of subhumans, such a skill is really rare.

Aurelian looked at Vanilla and asked:

"Vanilla, you ......"

"Why do you have such a name?"

She was a little curious.

Subhumans are usually nameless.

But the delicate cat-eared girl in front of her has a unique name that belongs to her.

- Vanilla.

Moreover, not only vanilla,

Even the subhuman guards, each of them has their own name.

This made Aurelian feel a little strange.

Why do subhumans have names?

Xiangzilan stood aside respectfully, leaned over slightly, and explained to Aurelian:

"Because my owner once said that I had a pleasant aroma of vanilla, so he gave me this name."

"These are all given by the owner himself"

Aurelian listened to Xiang Zilan's explanation and was suddenly stunned.

Host...... Master?

As if noticing the princess's curiosity, Xiang Zilan explained calmly.

"I was rescued by my master from the hands of sub-human traffickers."

"He gave me wisdom and gave me the gift to be a mage."

"But unfortunately, maybe it's because I'm not talented enough, and I'm only a magic apprentice until now."

Speaking of which, Xiang Zilan was not disappointed, but simply smiled.

The more Aurelian listened, the more surprised she became.

When Xiang Zilan said that she was an apprentice in magic, Aurelian was even more amazed.

If you want to become a mage, you need to keep learning.

However, if you want to make a subhuman who has a great difficulty reading and writing learn magic, it may take ten times, or even dozens of times, to learn magic as an ordinary human mage.

And Xiang Zilan was able to become a magic apprentice, which shows that she is very smart.

When Aurelian was chatting with Xiangzilan, she could also feel Xiangzilan's intelligence.

However, the sub-traffickers ......

Thinking of this, Aurelian's eyes dimmed a little.

When Xiang Zilan talked about the sub-human traffickers, a faint trace of fear flashed in her eyes.

Although the small cat lady behaved with ease, the fleeting fear was noticed by Aurelian.

If there was no Victor, there would be no Clivenna.

These free subhumans don't know what dark corners they will be sold to.

Sub-human traffickers are extremely hateful.

Aurelian had heard from Teacher Victor.

On the one hand, the reason why the empire prohibits subhumans from entering the country is to ensure that within the limits of the empire, human beings must have an absolute advantage and a noble status.

On the other hand, in a sense, it is to protect these sub-people from being used by some evil people who are motivated by certain interests as a blatant means of enriching themselves.

However, many people only see the front part.

Within the empire, humanity reigns supreme.

This makes many nobles in the empire always have a kind of pride when facing other races.

Other intelligent races don't put themselves in danger yet.

But the sub-people are different.

They are like wild beasts, without reason.

It is easy to fall into the hands of human beings, who are used as tools and animals to enslave them.

If the subhumans were allowed to enter the territory, the nobles would be even more blatant.

Not surprisingly, in every corner of the empire, you will see those inferior subhuman slaves.

Even the garbage dumps can be filled with people who are about to starve to death, have no value, and are being abandoned everywhere.

Even if the Empire now orders a ban on the sale of subhumans, there will still be people who take this path of no return for the sake of high profits.

Because there is demand, there must be a market.

If there is a market, there must be benefits.

As long as the aristocratic lords need these cheap labor and can give them a good enough pay, these subhuman traffickers will dare to take risks.

While it's true that subhumans are cheap, that also compares to something.

Aurelian remembers what Teacher Victor said:

"For subhuman traffickers."

"Those ordinary subhumans, catching them are as easy as making bread."

"But it's more expensive than selling bread."

So, Aurelian had been thinking about it all along.

Thinking of this, Aurelian's gaze fell on Xiang Zilan again.

She was a little curious about the vanilla flavor that Mr. Victor was talking about.

So, she opened her mouth:

"I can smell ......"

Boom!

Bang!

The words just said were wrenched in the air.

The whole train shook rapidly, as if the sky was falling apart.

The delicate ceramic teacup on the table fell to the floor from the violent impact, shattering into countless pieces.

The white milk splattered straight in all directions, forming a terrifying streamlined pattern.

Aurelian froze on the couch, confused.

Just as she was about to get up to see what was going on, Xiang Zilan suddenly pressed her shoulder.

Aurelian tried to break free, but found that Vanilla's strength was much greater than she had imagined, and her resistance was completely ineffective.

She often goes to swordsmanship, and her strength is obviously more powerful than that of ordinary girls.

But it's still not as good as the little cat lady in front of her.

Is this the strength of the subhuman race?

Immediately afterward, Aurelian saw that around Xiang Zilan's eyes, there was a green magic aura.

Then, one of Vanilla's eyes began to glow slightly green.

This is the operation that Victor once performed on her, and she used the magic of [Hidden Demon Corpse's Eyeball] to integrate into it, and obtained the corresponding ability of [Hidden Demon Corpse].

"Please don't move, Your Highness Princess."

"If there is danger, I will notify you in time."

As the words fell, the green aura grew stronger, looking around.

The moment the green completely covered the entire eyeball, Xiangzilan felt that the world around her was completely plunged into an extremely viscous pitch black.

Looking through the hazy outline of the carriage, there are a few colored spots scattered outside.

Her gaze continued to follow the speck until she spotted a darker mass of existence.

Xiangzilan's initial kindness and cuteness gradually faded from her face, replaced by sharp teeth and a dull growl.

The muscles on his face also tense unconsciously, as if he was facing a great enemy.

"Your Royal Highness, please sit here."

"We'll take care of the rest."

……

The ministers couldn't help but start trembling in the carriage, and the fear quickly spread to everyone's faces,

Some are even so scared that they bury their heads in their clothes.

Why are you so scared?

Because the train has just had a violent jolt.

The ministers were worried not only about the bump, but also about whether the train would be able to move on.

Because they are now in the sky above the [Nangapurna Valley].

As soon as they crossed this deep canyon, they were completely out of the Empire.

And now, the train is moving on the magic tracks on both sides of the valley,

Below, there is a bottomless terrifying rift, constantly whistling from the bottom to the top.

No one knew exactly how deep the canyon was, but everyone knew that once the train fell into it, the only thing they could do was turn into powder.

The subhuman guards quickly moved into action, shuttling back and forth between the various train cars.

The crisp clatter of bone and cold iron on the armor echoed through the hall, and they coldly warned the diplomats:

"Sit in your seats, and don't move."

"Otherwise, you will bear the consequences."

What kind of is this?

Seeing this group of sub-people in action, the ministers were even more frightened.

Something unexpected must have happened for these subhuman guards to take action.

"Where's Victor, where's Victor!"

"We're going to see Victor, why is this happening!?"

Suddenly, it was as if a northernal wind passed through the snowy winds of the ministers, and the bitter cold enveloped them instantly.

The restless protests came to an abrupt end, as if they were completely frozen in ice.

Gwen carried a cold gust of wind and walked slowly from the other carriages.

Her face was frosty, with an emotionless voice, but as cold and indifferent as an abyssal rift

"Now, everyone."

"Quiet."
