The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

Upon hearing Rahman's reply, a hint of disappointment flashed in Dina Zede's eyes, but she quickly concealed it.

The residents of Sumeru City themselves don't know much about the Little Auspicious Grass King, so how can they expect Rahman to know much?

“No, Lady Grass King has always been by each of our side.” Dina Zede composed herself and touched the Void Terminal next to her ear as she spoke.

"Beside me? I don't see any?" Rahman turned his head and looked around. The flow of people around him was the same as usual, with nothing different.

Dina Zede shook her head upon hearing this: "Then it means that you, Rahman, do not need the help of the Little Lucky Grass King."

"Did you know? I saw Lord Little Lucky Grass when I was a child."

"What? You've met the Grass God?!"

Rahman and Dishia were both astonished. Wasn't the Grass Goddess always staying in the Pure Land and never coming out? How did Dinazede manage to meet her?

"Shocked? I was just as shocked as you two when I found out later." Dina Zede said with some emotion when she saw the two of them looking shocked.

I was so excited about the news that I stayed in the hospital for several days.

“‘Dinazede...Dinazede...Don’t be afraid...’ That was the first thing the Little Lucky Grass King said to me.”

Dina Zede closed her eyes slightly and murmured to herself. She seemed lost in some memory.

"Miss, I think you should see a psychologist as soon as possible. Otherwise, you might develop psychological problems after your physical health improves," said Dixia with concern, seeing Dina Zede lost in her memories.

"Dishia, you're overthinking it, because I'm sure that sound isn't caused by any mental illness."

"How can you guarantee that?" Rahman, like Dixia, was also full of doubt.

"Because it was from that voice that I first heard the name [Teyvat]."

Dina Zede explained.

Chapter 677 The Scimitar That Has Become a Spirit

2024-05-21

"Catherine!"

"Toward the stars and the abyss!"

At the entrance to the main street of Sumeru is a pagoda-shaped wooden house with a sign hanging on it that clearly indicates the ownership of this house—the Adventurers' Guild.

"It seems Mr. Ember has indeed arrived in Sumeru City. Is there anything I can help you with?"

After the formulaic slogan, Catherine smiled and asked Ember.

"I'm short of Mora, come and get some!"

“That’s quite rare. Let me check the balance.” Catherine readily agreed, nodding and lowering her head slightly.

After a while, she raised her head again.

"Mr. Ember, your Mora balance deposited with the Adventurers' Guild is 24115673. Would you like to withdraw it all?"

"Twenty million?" Yu Jin stroked his chin, took out the poster he had previously snatched from his pocket, and examined it carefully.

Abyssal Apostles, five million, and that's just the reservation price. Abyssal Mages? Ember wouldn't even look at them; those fluffy creatures should go play in the mud with the Hilichurls.

As for those who are deeply sinful baptists, the poster says the price is negotiable.

After looking at the poster and then at Catherine, Ember initially thought he was a millionaire when he heard about his savings, but now it seemed that it was only enough to hire four Abyss Apostles.

Considering the poster only mentions a pre-order price, it's possible that they couldn't even hire four Abyss Apostles.

"Um... never mind, let me think about it." Yu Jin rolled up the poster and put it away. He went to the counter and asked:

"I think I need to save money now. Do you have any of the most difficult and highest-priced jobs? I'll take them all!"

Yu Jin patted his chest, brimming with confidence that he would entrust all the high-difficulty tasks of Sumeru to Bao Jun.

"Understood, Mr. Ember, please wait a moment, I'll go look for it right away." Upon hearing this, Catherine did not hesitate at all and swiftly began searching through the filing cabinet behind her.

Soon, Catherine returned carrying a pile of scrolls.

"It's all here, Mr. Ember, please take a look."

"Let me see..." Yu Jin took a scroll, opened it, and began to look through it.

"Escorting cargo hot air balloons? Long and smelly, no way!"

"Hmm... escorting a caravan, asking for 100 million? That's a bit low."

"Knocking on mushrooms? There's such a strange request?"

……

Ember searched through a pile of scrolls for a long time but couldn't find any requests that satisfied him.

"Catherine, although it's not one of the previous Catherines, she wouldn't lie to me, would she? She wouldn't, would she?"

Ember stuck his head into the counter, almost stepping his whole body inside.

"Of course... of course not, but that's all the commissions the Sumeru branch has. As you know, Mr. Ember, the Sumeru people always prioritize the major gilded guilds first, and only then do they consider our Adventurers' Association."

Catherine took a few steps back, a bitterness rarely seen on her usually smiling face.

"Okay, I knew the Sumeru Adventurers' Guild was in a bad situation, but I didn't expect it to be this bad."

Ember pulled his head back and sighed, leaning on the counter. He wondered who the branch leader of Sumeru was; perhaps he could discuss the Adventurers' Guild's future in Sumeru with him.

"Actually, it's alright. At least I'm not as busy as other people." Catherine rarely talked about other things during work hours with Ember.

The Sumeru Adventurers' Guild has fewer commissions, but correspondingly less workload. Therefore, Catherine has the longest vacation time of all branches.

Most of the other flowers and plants that Catherine saw were uploaded by her.

"That's enough talk. Goodbye, and have a good day at work." After saying something that Catherine couldn't understand, Ember turned and left.

"I also wish Mr. Ember a pleasant journey." Catherine waved to Ember's retreating figure, her signature smile returning to her face.

After leaving the Adventurers' Guild, Ember wandered aimlessly, unsure of what to do for a long time.

Hiring four Abyss Apostles isn't enough. Shouldn't it be at least four of those Baptists of Deep Sin?

Although Ember had never met the Baptist of Deep Sin, judging from the leap in strength from Abyss Mage to Abyss Apostle, the Baptist of Deep Sin, who was a level higher than the Abyss Apostle, couldn't be much weaker.

However, while the idea was wonderful, Mora was not enough to support it.

"Perhaps I could try to rummage through the pockets of the Fools?" As he pondered this, he turned his attention to the Fools once again.

Just as Ember was rubbing his hands together, ready to let the fools in the Sumeru Realm feel what "pain" was, he suddenly sensed something unusual.

"Om-"

He took out the two scimitars that Sammer had "given" to him; the scimitars were now covered with a shimmering white light.

"call out!"

The next moment, two seemingly ordinary curved swords suddenly detached from Yu Jin's hand and floated in the air.

"My master, within your body, I seem to hear you worrying about money?"

A fawning yet trembling female voice came from within the scimitar, and its appearance successfully excited Yu Jin.

"Holy crap, the curved blade has come to life! Sammer must have more good stuff up his sleeve!"

Upon seeing the scimitar come to life, Yu Jin couldn't wait to join Samel. If this guy had a sentient scimitar, he must also have sentient daggers, sentient straight swords… and even sentient scythes!

“Samel, is that the guy who touched me with his filthy hands before…”

"Indeed, I also think his hands were very dirty. It must be because he had been digging in the ground for too long without washing them."

Ember nodded in agreement, and so did Samel and Rahman. Most mercenaries in the desert didn't pay much attention to these details.

"..."

The two curved blades wobbled, seemingly shocked that the embers actually believed that what it called "filth" was filth in a physical sense.

This owner seems a bit peculiar?

“Master, I know a place with endless treasures that can satisfy your desire for riches.”

Ember did not respond; he was simply pondering how to imbue his weapon with the same spirit as the scimitar.

"Master?" The scimitar approached the silent embers.

"Huh? You're talking about me?" Seeing the gleaming blade in front of him, Yu Jin finally realized that the scimitar was referring to himself.

“Nature, you have awakened me from my suffering with the flow of water. Hisa, I am willing to serve you.”

"But I can take care of myself, so let's become sworn brothers. From now on, you'll be the sixth one, and you'll have four more..."

Ember pondered for a moment; it seemed that the Deep Ones didn't have genders at all. Troublesome, forming sworn brotherhood without gender is also a problem!

"..."

Shisa fell silent, somewhat unable to believe what she was seeing.

The owner she recognized seems to really have something wrong with him!

But so what if she has a problem? She is the one who recognized Yu Jin as her master, not the other way around. She can only accept it with tears in her eyes.

"Master, let's talk about the treasure instead." Seeing Yu Jin pull out a long incense stick from somewhere, Xi Sha quickly ended the conversation.

"Don't call me master, it's easy for people to misunderstand."

"No problem, my master."

Didn't I tell you not to shout?

"I will obey your command, my master."

Yu Jin turned his head to look at the curved blade floating in front of him in the air. How did this guy learn so fast?

In just a few words, I actually learned some of his essence.

"Fine, do whatever you want. Just a reminder, don't try to pin any of your responsibilities as 'master' on me."

"Understood, my master."

"Alright, now we can talk about the treasure. I won't take advantage of you; after it's done, we'll split the profits fifty-fifty."

Yu Jin and Shisa secretly went to a secluded corner to discuss matters concerning the "treasure".

“My master, everything of Shisa belongs to you. The treasures, naturally, are also yours alone.”
