“From now on, we’d better not mention Underground City in our conversations,” Mag said telepathically, “I can’t guarantee that they didn’t put an eavesdropping device in our house.”

Irina nodded thoughtfully and went downstairs with the glass of milk.

“The person who came yesterday was the First Marshal of Underground City. He is one of the strongest powerhouses in Underground City. He asked me…” Mag told Irina about his conversation with Ferdinand and the Underground City’s basic information.

Ferdinand was right. It was easier to keep a secret when fewer people knew about it.

However, he didn’t intend to keep it from Irina. She was his wife and the person he trusted the most in this world.

Moreover, Underground City was full of unknown and dangers. He couldn’t guarantee that he could return safely, so he had to let Irina know about the situation briefly.

“Is that sacred stele really that amazing?” Irina couldn’t help asking after she listened to Mag’s explanation.

“That’s according to their information. As for whether that sacred stele is indeed that amazing, I need to see it with my own eyes,” Mag said with a smile. He was also very excited.

“I feel that this matter is a little strange. Given his identity, he won’t need to cross over to get you to help investigate a family, right?” Irina said with a frown.

“I think that either he has concealed some very important information, or he wants to test me with a simple mission first. It’s similar to a novice assignment, which is to give the person some benefits,” Mag replied. That was also his guess.

Irina nodded and said, “Since you have already made your decision, I won’t stop you either. Be very careful.”

“I will.” Mag nodded.

After the breakfast service was over, Mag checked his bangle and Xi had already replied:

“Meet me 16 kilometers beyond the west city gate tonight for training.”

“Should I bring a helping of red braised pork for you?” Mag sent a message.

“Yes!” Xi replied instantly.

Mag put away the bangle with a smile. This fellow was indeed mesmerized by the red braised pork.

“Father, Father, Kiddo wants to go out to play.” A little one came stumbling over as soon as Mag came out of the study. She hugged his leg and began climbing up.

Mag lifted her up with a chuckle. He rubbed her little nose and asked, “Where does Kiddo want to go?”

“I want to go play in the sea. Mother said that the sea is very fun and we can ride on the sharks. I haven’t seen the sea before,” Kiddo asked with anticipation.

“Weren’t you born in the sea? You are the little God of the Sea.” Mag dissed in his heart, but he still said with a smile, “The sea is very, very far from our home. Shall we go to the sea a few days later when everyone is free?”

“Is it very far away?” Kiddo pouted her lips in disappointment.

“Although the sea is very far away, Kiddo can play with water at home too if you want to.” Mag carried Kiddo to the room at the side and got the system to take out the big fish tank that was removed earlier.

Opening the door to the vacant room, the glass swimming pool that occupied more than half of the room appeared in their vision.

“Wow. What a big bathtub!” Kiddo’s eyes lit up.

She loved to soak in the bathtub with Mother every night the most, but the bathtub was too small and she couldn’t swim back and forth as she pleased.

However, this bathtub was huge. It was as big as the room she slept in!

“Kiddo can only go swimming in it after you change into the swimsuit.” Mag grabbed Kiddo, who had climbed onto the spiral stairs and was about to jump into the pool. He bought a little swimsuit from the system and put it on for Kiddo.

“Swimmer number one, Kiddo. Prepare to jump in!” Kiddo leaped into the pool and made a big splash.

“Did she learn her diving technique from the Filipino’s National Diving Team?” Mag wiped the water away from his face speechlessly.

Kiddo was like a fish who had lived too long on land. After a moment of discomfort, she soon swam happily in the pool like a fish.

Moreover, her legs also quickly transformed back into the fish tail. It was a dazzling rainbow fish tail!

Kiddo floated to the surface and shouted to Mag with surprise, “Father, look. I have become a fish!”

“A mermaid,” Mag said with a smile.

“So, I am a mermaid. This tail is so pretty.”

The little one flapped her tail and began to admire herself.

“Kiddo?” Gina stood at the door and looked at Kiddo who was swimming happily in the pool. Her gaze landed on Mag.

“Kiddo wants to go to the sea, but we are not free to go to the sea any time soon. Hence, I got her a pool to play in first,” Mag explained.

“Oh.” Gina nodded. She was reminded of the times when she first arrived at the restaurant. Mag had also prepared a big fish tank for her because she couldn’t get used to the life on land. He helped her get over that difficult time.

Mr. Mag was still a very gentle and considerate person.

“I need to go out for an errand. You can go in and swim too,” Mag told Gina before going downstairs.

“Are you going out, Boss?” Mag pushed the bicycle out from the counter and Firis, who was carrying Yayi, stood up at the corner.

“”Yiyayiya.” Little Yayi raised her hands and greeted Mag.

“Yes. I’m going out to run an errand.” Mag nodded. He walked to Firis and pinched Yayi’s tender little face.

“Wah wah wah…”

Two little red marks appeared on Little Yayi’s face and her eyes became teary immediately.

“Don’t cry. Boss is playing with you.” Firis tried to calm her down immediately.

“I’m off.” Mag quickly escaped and pushed his bicycle out. Such little ones could cry for a long time with a single pinch.

Mag went to the locomotive factory. He had promised Scheer yesterday. The cargo locomotive had successfully run for some time and the passenger locomotive had already gone through a few tests and was ready to be introduced.

Before introducing it formally, both Scheer and the engineering department hoped that Mag could help test and experience it and make some suggestions.

Scheer and the city lord’s castle’s efficiency had shocked Mag.

It has been less than six months between when the steam train project was first set up till now when the passenger train was ready to start running, and thousands of kilometers of railroads were already laid. The magical world’s ability to build the infrastructure had impressed him.

Mag arrived at the scene and experienced the passenger train that was bumpy and noisy. He suggested two plans to reduce the noise and bumpiness.

A passenger train and a cargo train were different. Other than fragile items, the cargo didn’t care about the bumpiness and noise.

However, humans had requirements for comfort.

The engineers were excited and they immediately had a meeting to discuss the solutions. They were ready to make the improvements.

“However, if even Miss Scheer can’t get you to work here there’s nothing we can do, otherwise you should be doing my job as the chief engineer,” the chief engineer said to Mag with a piteous expression.

“I am your boss, the co-founder.” Mag dissed inwardly before humbly saying, “You are being too polite, Chief Engineer. I am only making the suggestions verbally.”
