King Ember's Journey to Tevat

Chapter 786 Expanding the Gray River
"boom!"

A huge torrent of starry sky gushed out, and no matter whether it was blocked sewage or steel pipes, they all turned into nothingness in front of countless stars.

When the starry sky torrent touched the obstruction, its power was slightly dispersed, and the dark sewer was instantly brightened. The splashing star amber was like a star that was shrunk countless times, attracting everyone's attention.

In the dark sewer, one could actually see the stars in the sky. For a moment, everyone was a little intoxicated by it. When they came to their senses, a new fork had appeared in the sewer in front of them.

"Hmm... it should be reinforced a little more." Yu Jin retracted his staff. He looked up at the mirror-smooth cave wall and felt that it was still a little unstable.

Although Comet Azril cleared out the main body of the pipe, the rocks around it remained the same as before.

When encountering flowing water, landslides and other accidents are inevitable. So after thinking for a while, the firelight replaced the starlight and illuminated the sewer again.

"call……"

A thick column of fire gushed forward from the pipe. The column of fire was much thicker than the pipe, but due to restrictions, the intense flames could only roll continuously in the pipe, burning everything around it.

"Kaka..."

The sound of gushing flames was mixed with the sound of rocks being squeezed and deformed. Under the calcination of the blazing flames, the newly opened sewer was gradually covered with a layer of solid, thick black rock.

"That should be about right now."

Embers emerged from the fire, and the starlight and flames not only expanded Fontaine's sewers, but also disposed of the long-accumulated sewage.

"By the way, this pipe leads to the outside. If you want to go out, you have another way. But be careful to walk on high ground and don't get washed away by the sewage."

Yu Jin pointed to the deep sewer in the distance. Looking inside from here, a tiny dot of light could be vaguely seen.

Obviously, this was the exit he was talking about.

"This... is really, shocking."

The crowd of onlookers ran down from the heights. They touched the obsidian-covered pipe wall on the left and looked at the vast space inside on the right. They were extremely shocked.

If you didn’t see it with your own eyes, who would believe that such a huge project took only a few minutes?

"That's because you haven't seen enough. Why has the traffic jam here lasted for so long and no one is doing anything about it?" Yu Jin clapped his hands and asked curiously.

"There is someone, but it's from our Thorn Rose Society." Navia shook her head first, then nodded.

"But as you can see, the Thorn Rose Society has limited manpower after all. We simply cannot clear out a jam like the one just now," she continued.

"What about the people from Fontaine up there? Don't they care?" Yu Jin pointed upwards.

By the way, he hasn't had a good look around Fontaine yet, so he'll have to climb out and take a look someday.

"They..."

Navia looked up, then sighed and shook her head.

"It is better to rely on ourselves than on them. This is what past experience has taught us." Miles added at the right time behind Navia.

In the past, Fontaine also wanted to rectify the Heihe River, but their method was to directly expel the people in it.

Later, the matter ended with the intervention of the Law Enforcement Court. In addition to leaving a pile of corpses in Baisong Town, a deep scar was implanted in the hearts of the people of Huihe and Baisong Town - Fontaine was not trustworthy.

They also understood a truth: some things are worthwhile, necessary, or can only be won with blood.

Of course, these are all things of the past. Now the power vacuum in Gray River has been taken over by the Thorn Rose Society. Although there is no ties with Fontaine these days, life here is still bearable.

"Well, I think it's a very complicated question. Let me ask you, can you solve it by yourselves?"

Seeing Miles lost in reminiscence, Yu Jin quickly waved his hand to indicate that he didn't want to hear about those old things.

"Trying."

Navia nodded to the embers. She always remembered her father's last wish, which was to let everyone in Baisong Town and Huihe live a good life.

"That's fine." Yu Jin nodded. That was good. No need to bother him. "Make way! Make way!"

Just as everyone was marveling at the newly opened sewer, a man who was out of place with Gray River rushed into the crowd.

The reason was simple: the man was wearing a blue security uniform, and in Gray River, such an outfit was undoubtedly very eye-catching.

The crowd behaved in the same way. After seeing that the person coming was a member of the security team, they all showed a vigilant look.

"Everyone, be calm, these are our people." Navia waved her hand and reminded loudly when she saw this.

When everyone heard this, the alert look on their faces disappeared a lot. This surprised Yu Jin. Should this mean that Thorn Rose is very popular or that Navia is very respected?
Perhaps it's more likely to be both.

"Ivers, I remember you were on duty today, right? Why did you run out of the court? And you didn't even change out of your uniform. What if someone found you?"

Myles called out the guard's name very skillfully. How could he not be skillful? He was the one who sent this guy to the guard as an undercover agent.

"Huh...Huh..., old man, I'm not abandoning my post. On the contrary, I'm performing official duties!"

Ivers took a few breaths, then straightened up and looked at the embers.

"Mr. Yu Jin, may I ask if [Young Master] is your friend?"

"Uh... who is talking nonsense here? When did he and I become friends?"

Yu Jin spread his hands, saying that this was pure nonsense. He and the young master were clearly in a relationship of employer and servant, even though he, as the employer, did not pay the young master a penny when he "hired" him.

"What? Isn't it?" Ivers obviously didn't expect to hear Yu Jin's negative answer, and he was unable to react for a moment.

"Young Master... I remember he is the executive officer of the Fatui? How is the Court of Justice related to him?" Navia thought for a while, then asked puzzledly.

Could it be...

"Besides committing a crime, is there any other possibility?"

As expected, the young master had a connection with the Court of Justice because he had committed a crime in Fontaine and was caught red-handed.

"Well, it seems that the executive officer can also tell lies. Since it has nothing to do with Mr. Ember, I won't bother you anymore."

After sighing, Ivers dusted himself off and prepared to return to the legal court.

"Wait, what did he say? Tell me in detail, maybe I'd be willing to help him." Yu Jin thought about it and felt that since Young Master had been dragged over by him to do hard labor several times, it wouldn't be impossible for him to help him a little.

"Ah? Is that so? Well, the story should start from last night..."

Then, Ivers told everyone what happened last night in detail.

The picture was so detailed that it even described the color of the young man's sleeping underwear.

"Well... that's it, he needs a proxy now."

At this point, Ivers felt inexplicably sad. As an executive, he couldn't even find a friend in Fontaine who could act as his agent.

Even if it was just embers, it was just his unilateral opinion.

"Uh... this executive sounds so miserable." After hearing this, Navia couldn't help but twitch her lips.

Although she had not seen it with her own eyes, she could feel the young master's misery just from Ivers' description.

"I was wondering why he does nothing all day long. It turns out he is an old widower." Yu Jin also sighed. Is there no one in Fontaine who cares about the young master?

"So, Mr. Ember, what about this agent..."

"I agree. Seeing how miserable he is!"

With a wave of his hand, Yu Jin agreed to the request.
