The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

Chapter 644 The Kanriyans Only Scam the Kanriyans

2024-05-03

What appeared to be just two people in the field actually housed far more than two. A large group of figures, shrouded in cloaks, emerged from the grass; to make concealment easier, they had thoughtfully turned their cloaks green.

"You were really a Hilichurl?!" One of them ran over, grabbed Alois's hand tightly, and asked with burning eyes.

The black-and-green-robed people didn't know how Alos, as a commoner, had escaped the curse. They cared so much about Alos, partly because he was one of the few Kanriyans, and partly because they wanted to find out.

But these people never imagined that Alois was actually a human who had transformed from a Hilichurl.

This instantly elevated his value in the eyes of the Green Robe's men to an extremely high level. If they could master the method to turn Alois into a human, they wouldn't need to lurk in the shadows like rats.

At that time, wherever there are Hilichurls, there will be Kanriyans, and Kanriyan's plan to restore their kingdom will take a big step forward!

"Who are you...?" Alois looked at the group of people who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere and cautiously withdrew his hand.

After waking up, he read some books about Kanria and listened to some explanations about the ground.

Therefore, Alois was wary of the surface of the earth to some extent.

The group of green-robed men who appeared out of nowhere immediately put Alois on alert.

"There's no need for you to be so flustered." Upon seeing this, the green-robed man's large cloak changed, successfully turning from green to black, which also made Alois even more wary.

"Why are your clothes changing color?" Ella asked curiously as she saw a group of little green people around her, who looked like adventurers, turn into little black people.

"Hmph, because we are Kanria people!" The man in black robes didn't care that Ella was only waist-high, and directly revealed his identity.

The eyes of the black-robed figures, shrouded in darkness, shone brightly, and thus two stars appeared in the darkness.

"Kanriyans?!" Upon hearing this, Alois's expression showed a shock no less than that of the man in the black robe.

Shouldn't the Kanriyans only be found in the Abyss Order's strongholds? Why are there Kanriyan remnants on the surface as well?

"That's right, I don't know if you've heard it before. Every Kanria has a star in their eyes."

The black-robed man who was close to Alois took a few more steps forward, and his black robe became transparent, like a foldable mirror.

In the mirror, the reflections of Alois's face and the black-robed man's eyes showed that, without exception, both of them had a cross-shaped star in their eyes.

“So the legend is true…” Alois muttered to himself. He had heard the rumor before, but since he was just a servant in Kanria and quite busy, he had only listened to it and then put it out of his mind.

In retrospect, the legend was not entirely unfounded.

After a brief moment of shock, he quickly came to his senses.

"How come your clothes can change color so easily? And why are your faces so dark? I can't see anything from them."

"Kanria Technology! Kid! Don't ask any more questions!"

The black-robed figures became like human headlights in front of Ella and Alois, their robes constantly changing colors, looking incredibly cool.

Seeing this, Yaros didn't have too many doubts. He felt that his compatriots must have become like this because they had been hiding for a long time.

Alois stepped forward and grabbed the black-robed man's arm, saying earnestly, "That's wonderful! I didn't expect to find fellow countrymen on the ground. Would you be interested in coming to our place? There are plenty of people there!"

"what?"

The men in black robes were caught off guard, and the dazzling light emanating from their bodies stopped flashing. Shouldn't they be the ones saying that? Why was Alois taking the initiative?

However, they quickly came to their senses and realized that, judging from what Alois said, he was not the only one like the Kanriyan!

"There's nothing surprising about it. Everyone is still living underground, just like before. Although the Black Sun is gone, the sun still shines. You'll definitely love it when you go!"

At this moment, Alois seemed to have transformed into the former Kaeya, enthusiastically introducing the wonderful aspects of the Abyss Order's stronghold to the people in black robes.

"We'll talk about that later." Seeing Alois's enthusiasm, the man in black waved his hand and took a few steps back.

He organized his thoughts, paused, and continued, "We have our own camp. More than that, I'm curious about how you transformed back into a human from a Hilichurl."

"You know, the people of our homeland..."

The black-robed man looked at Alois with extremely eager eyes, giving Alois the illusion that they wanted to dissect him.

"Well... I might have to disappoint you. I became human thanks to other people."

Upon hearing this, the men in black robes exchanged bewildered glances. After a long while, the one standing before Alois, suppressing his excitement, asked:

"Can you tell us that person's name? The reconstruction of Canria needs this help."

These words immediately drew a glance from Alois at the group of men in black robes. It turned out that the Abyss Order wasn't the only one wanting to rebuild Kanria's power; there was also this group of unknown individuals.

"That man's name... should be Yuan Shang. People in the cult say that he is the one who restored us from the curse."

After a moment's thought, Alois still mentioned Yuan Shang's name. After all, they were also Kanria people, and the Order would surely accept them.

Not to mention that they also possess some of the technology left behind by Kanria, which would be a great asset if they could join the Abyss Order.

"Yuanshang?"

"There's a cult?"

Several men in black robes muttered to themselves, and before they knew it, the way they looked at Alois changed.

Alois, however, did not notice anything unusual. He simply assumed that his compatriots were curious or puzzled by a strange name.

After all, the name "Yuanshang" doesn't seem like something a normal person would choose.

"That's right, you may not have heard of the Order's name, but you'll understand once you go underground."

Alois glanced at Ella, who was looking at them curiously behind him, but did not reveal the full name of the Abyss Order.

The Abyss Order doesn't seem to have a good reputation on the surface, so it's best not to talk about it. Alois is afraid that someone will catch him and beat him up.

"It's unbelievable that those inhuman creatures achieved something before us."

The man in black robes shook his head with a cold laugh, his words filled with disbelief and doubt.

"What do you mean?" Even if Alois was stupid, he realized that something was wrong. Had he said something he shouldn't have?

He took a few steps back, took Ella's hand, who was still in a daze, and looked around.

The men in black robes gradually surrounded them, eventually encircling Alois and Ella.

“Aren’t we compatriots? If you want purification techniques, you can ask Lord Yuanshang. He is very generous and will not be stingy with his techniques.”

[Although I couldn't understand a word he was saying.] Alois silently added to himself.

Seeing the atmosphere growing increasingly tense, Alois picked up a fairly thick wooden stick from the ground and tried swinging it around.

It was as if some memory within his body had been awakened, and he swung the wooden stick in his hand with great force, appearing quite powerful.

Unfortunately, when Alois saw the large group of people around him, he lost his strength in his wooden stick and his mouth began to taste bitter.

With such a large group, would the Hilichurls' staff skills be effective? No.

"The power of the abyss is unbelievable. The words uttered by the abyss apostles are even more seductive."

The man in black robes answered Alois's question, but quickly lowered his head and added:

"But we must admit that the Abyss does have some unique features."

“Fellow countrymen, you should leave the abyss, for it, like the gods, only brings calamity.”

Where do you want to take me?

Alois understood what the man in the black robes meant; they wanted to kidnap him.

"We just want you to cooperate so we can understand how you transformed from a Hilichurl into a human."

"Rest assured, our technology is better than you think. Fellow countryman, you will become one of us."

As the man in black robes spoke, he extended his palm.

"Damn it! Find a chance to escape!" After giving Ella a word of advice, Alois charged forward, brandishing the wooden stick in his hand.

His movements were exaggerated and unrestrained, as if he were possessed by a Hilichurl.

"It's no use. You'd better cooperate with us. Besides, the conditions there are perfect. You won't have to worry about food or drink, and there are no worldly restrictions."

The man in black easily caught the wooden stick that Alois was waving. With a forceful pull of his hand, he crushed the wrist-thick stick into drifting wood chips.

"..."

Alois looked at the broken stick in his hand, speechless with frustration.

Who would have thought that upon first arriving on the surface, the danger would not come from the people of the Seven Kingdoms, but from their own fellow Kanreia people?

"Whoa! Let me go!" In the distance, Ella was also captured by another man in black robes. She struggled frantically, but to no avail.

"Hey! What do you guys want?" When Alois saw this scene, he immediately had a bad feeling.

"Nothing much, just an old-fashioned but very effective method. You choose, my fellow countryman." The man in black raised an eyebrow and smiled at Alois.

Looking at Ella, whom he was lifting with one hand, and then at his own hands, which were numb from the shock, Alois sighed deeply.

"Fellow countrymen, haha, you guys are really enthusiastic about treating your fellow countrymen."

"I'll go with you, just let Ella go."

After scoffing a few times, he threw away the wooden stick in his hand. Seeing this, the man in black nodded to his companion in the distance.

Upon seeing this, the man in black robes lowered his grip on Ella's arm and prepared to put her down.

He did put it down, but at the cost of losing half of his arm.

"Well!"

"Should I have come earlier?"

Ella was lifted up again, but this time the guy who caught her wasn't even human.

The Abyss Singer released Ayla, throwing her so hard she was dazed and confused. Abyss monsters generally didn't care much for humans who weren't from Kanria.

Therefore, the Abyss Singer had no intention of taking care of Ella. As long as the little one's body was intact and she didn't die, that was enough.

"This troublesome thing is here. I should have just knocked you out and taken you back." Seeing the fiery red figure in the distance, the black-robed man in front of Alois secretly pounded his thigh.

He knew that if he got involved with the Abyss Cult, the Abyss monsters would teleport over like hyenas that smelled his scent, but he didn't expect them to arrive so quickly.

In just a few words, an abyssal monster ran in, and it was even an apostle-level being.
