The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

The strange Heart of God landed on the ground, just like a real chess piece, without any unusual occurrence.

When the group gathered around to look, the peculiar feeling they had experienced earlier did not appear, leaving them somewhat puzzled.

"What...what is this thing?" The lady snatched the stick from the young man's hand and squatted down to poke at it.

Unfortunately, no matter whether she thrust upwards or downwards, the Heart of God remained completely unresponsive.

“It’s definitely not the Heart of God.” The skirmisher took out the Heart of Thor from his thigh compartment and compared it.

Although Thor's Heart of God was also somewhat strange, it was far better than this thing whose origins were completely unknown.

At least the massive, pulsating lightning beneath the purple Heart of God was real. And this… the skirmisher glanced at the now-normal "five" on the ground and thought the Heart of God in his own hand was more pleasing to the eye.

"Give it to me!" The woman saw Thor's Heart of God and reached out to snatch it from the skirmisher's hand.

The skirmishers, who had long coveted the Heart of God, would naturally not allow the lady to take it away.

He quickly jumped back and sidestepped, dodging the woman's bent hand.

"Hmm?" The lady steadied herself and stood up from her squatting position. She casually threw away the small stick she had snatched from the young man's hand, causing him to yell loudly.

No matter what the young master said, the lady ignored it completely. She looked at the stragglers who had put the Heart of God back into their bodies, her eyes seeming to be thinking about something.

"Give me Thor's Heart of God."

"They're all going to be handed over to Zhidong anyway, so it doesn't really matter who they're in, right?"

The stragglers merely shrugged and gave a cold laugh, but made no move.

"You've finished your mission, but what about me? Don't forget, the task of seizing the Heart of God was originally the responsibility of both of us." The woman stood with her hands on her hips, not backing down an inch.

She glanced up and down at the indifferent stragglers and continued, "Or, the two of us could travel together and return to Winter."

"That way, we can both get our job done."

As soon as the woman finished speaking, she saw the soldier's nonchalant face suddenly darken.

Traveling with a lady is something a soldier would absolutely never want to see. Unlike a gentleman, a lady is much more cunning, and if one is not careful, their plans may be exposed.

The soldier looked up at the smiling woman and suddenly realized what was going on. It seemed that this woman had probably seen through his trickery.

Chapter 590 Should we do it? Yes, we should!

"Squeak..."

The soldiers' joints cracked and popped, echoing in the now tense room.

"Haha? Judging from your embarrassed and angry look, do you really want to take all the credit for yourself?"

"Or……"

The woman gently pressed her finger to her red lips, then released it with a flick of her wrist. The gesture was almost a tacit indication to the soldiers that she had guessed something.

"Hey! Why are we suddenly going to fight?"

"hiss……"

Suddenly, the young man jumped out from below and poked the lady's waving finger, hitting her chin.

"I'm sorry, this is a wound medicine I often use in the wild. It will definitely not leave a scar." When the young master saw the lady clutching her chin as if she wanted to devour him alive, he immediately took out a small medicine bottle from his pocket.

The lady already looked down on the young man, and now that he had injured her chin, the young man was very worried that the lady's hatred would turn to him.

Taking the medicine from the young master, the lady sat down in the chair with a disgruntled expression. The atmosphere she had just carefully created had been ruined by him.

"Hmph! It seems those things in your heart are very important to you." The woman raised her head and moved her chin, and the cut skin that had just been scratched by her fingernail returned to normal.

As for the medicine the young master gave her? The lady plans to use it to feed the dog.

“Everyone has secrets. Sit down. Let’s talk this over,” the woman said, tapping the table as she looked at the soldiers.

“I suddenly find you really annoying.” The soldier walked over from a distance and sat down opposite the woman.

"Then you'll have to try and see if you can get rid of me. Just hope you don't break your spine in the process."

The woman chuckled, not taking the threat from the skirmishers seriously.

Those who become executives are all shrewd and have their own power base. Getting rid of one of them would be extremely difficult.

"Do you two have some old grudge? Why are you suddenly talking about fighting and killing each other?"

Oh, right. The young master is an exception. He became the executive officer entirely because the Rooster and the Fools needed a handyman who was always in the spotlight but also capable.

So the young master, who is strong but not very bright, successfully became the last executive officer!

He was also the only executive officer without any trusted subordinates of his own, spending his days frantically doing odd jobs. Wherever he was needed, the young master would go!

"Old grudges? You could say there are some?" The woman thought for a moment. In the hundreds of years she had worked with the soldiers, the soldiers had never had a clean mouth.

The woman wasn't very forgiving; if we're talking about old grudges, this one should be considered one.

"Enough with the nonsense, just say it, what are your conditions?" The skirmisher had completely lost his patience.

The plan to become a god was orchestrated by the Doctor and himself. Originally, only the Doctor and the other executor knew about it, but now there is another person involved.

The more people who know, the greater the risk, especially since that person is a woman.

Therefore, one can imagine the frustration and anxiety in the hearts of the stragglers. Those threats just now may not have been just empty words.

Seeing the soldier's agitated expression, the woman's smile widened. What secret could possibly make a soldier who usually didn't care about anything so concerned?

It would be a lie to say she wasn't curious, but the woman resisted the urge to find out.

Because there are more important problems that she needs to solve.

"The conditions are simple: you can keep the Heart of God, but you also have to take this with you!"

The woman waved her hand, pointing to the empty ground.

"??? Where's the stuff?!"

The woman rubbed her eyes, and the weight that had been lying flat on the ground had disappeared without her noticing!

"Buzzing..."

“Here…here…” The young master jumped up from the chair and quickly took a few steps back.

On the empty solid wood table, the "Heart of God" was swaying up and down, emitting a rapid "buzzing" sound.

Gradually, the sound disappeared, and the "Heart of God" lay back on the table.

The three who had scattered like monkeys returned. They sat around the table, staring at the motionless "Heart of God" on the table for a long time without saying a word.

"So, do you agree or not? If you agree, I can not only keep your little secrets, but I might even lend you a hand."

The woman glanced sideways at the stragglers, then looked at the strange "Heart of God" on the table. Sure enough, what the embers brought was definitely not something normal!

“That’s right! Count me in!” Even though he didn’t know what the lady’s “secret” was, it didn’t stop the young man from adding to the stakes.

This sweet potato is far too hot; the young master feels he cannot handle it. Therefore, he decides to let one of the stragglers, who feels no pain, hold this scorching hot potato!

“Can’t we… try throwing it away…” After a long silence, the skirmisher said, his throat extremely dry.

He doesn't want to get entangled in this mess either!

"Throw it away? Where can you throw it?" The young master rested his chin on the table and said with drooping eyelids.

Anyway, he felt that this thing couldn't be thrown away simply by throwing it.

"A volcano! Isn't Haizhi Island a newly formed volcano? Throwing it into the crater should definitely work!"

Upon hearing a response, the stragglers immediately became excited. With that, he was about to throw the strange Heart of God on the table into the volcano.

But just as the stragglers were busy looking for something to hold the "Heart of God" in place, the motionless "Heart of God" began to change.

"Oh!"

A flickering flame ignited from the disc-shaped exterior, and after touching the solid wood table below, the flame spread at a visible speed.

Ouch! My chin!

The young master felt a sudden sharp pain in his chin, followed by a feeling of weightlessness from the sudden drop.

"Oh!"

The "Heart of God" fell into the ashes on the ground, kicking up large plumes of dust.

“I don’t think your method will work.” The woman quickly stepped back and looked at the stragglers.

"Agreed." The young master, still holding his water bubble, also looked at the scattered soldiers.

"Damn it!" The stragglers looked down at the "Heart of God" lying quietly on the ground, and the number "five" in front of them was deeply engraved in their hearts.

It's unknown what kind of struggle the stragglers went through, or what kind of resolve they held.

In any case, under the astonished gazes of the lady and the young master, the soldier trembled and slowly extended his palm.

But just as he was about to reach the "Heart of God," his hand suddenly stopped.

"Why did you stop? Think about your plan, think about what will happen if it succeeds, what are you waiting for!"

"That's right! You don't want the Captain to know about your plans, do you, Skirmisher?"

Seeing the lady's son chattering in his ear, the soldier waved his hand impatiently.

"You two flies, be quiet! Who said I wasn't going to take it? I just needed to do some insurance!"

Upon hearing this, the lady and gentleman immediately dispersed with smiles. What did it matter if the stragglers were called flies, as long as they were willing to take the item?

They were only called flies, but stragglers might actually become flies.

The woman looked at the large "five" on the ground, then touched the burn marks on her back, and silently nodded. Yes, this thing definitely has that ability!

"call……"

The soldier squatted on the ground and took a few deep breaths. Then he placed his palm on the shoulder of his other arm and twisted it hard!

"Boom!"

The puppet's arms, with their intricate wiring and mechanisms vaguely visible, were detached by the skirmishers themselves.

Open the compartment in your palm, and a storage space will appear before you.

Clinging to the remaining connection, the skirmisher controlled his severed arm and slowly crawled toward the "Heart of God" on the ground.
