The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Ember expressed high praise for the Abyss Apostle's performance, clapping as he asked:

"Excuse me, who came up with all these ideas?"

"Your Highness and the Lord of the Abyss said that the most important thing for the Order right now is to build its reputation and dispel your human suspicions."

"Very good, you did a great job." Yu Jin nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Only Yuan Shang and Ying's older brother truly lived up to their reputation as geniuses; their movements perfectly met all the requirements.

If an ordinary person had seen the Apostle of the Abyss strike them like that, they would have been left with an unforgettable impression!

"You flatter me, but Your Highness and Abyss are indeed geniuses." The Abyss Apostle nodded.

Yuan Shang is now a big celebrity in the Abyss Order, and everyone is looking forward to him coming up with something new.

"Do Apostles of the Abyss even read books?" The man in black robes was more concerned. He looked at the book in the Apostle's hand and frowned.

If even the Abyss Apostles, known for their recklessness, are starting to read books, then the current strength of the Abyss Order needs to be reassessed.

After all, intelligence is also a part of strength.

“Look, otherwise the business will fall through and we’ll get beaten up by the criminals and His Highness.” The Abyss Apostle nodded quite naturally, then lowered its head again to flip through the booklet:

"This book was compiled by the Order to communicate with you humans. Let me see, what follows should be..."

Hearing the rustling sound of pages turning, Shisa quietly leaned closer and whispered, "My master, is this the person you were searching for, even after abandoning the Eternal Oasis?"

"Of course, I think you're quite good at talking. Get ready later, it's up to you!" Yu Jin nodded, then patted Xi Sha on the shoulder, his encouraging tone leaving Xi Sha a little confused.

"Look at me?"

"So the next step is to confirm the business schedule?" The Abyss Apostle closed the booklet, then nodded as if suddenly realizing something.

It put away the booklet, rubbed its hands together, and said, "Who are you two looking to hire? One or two? A mage or an apostle?"

The man in black robes and Ember exchanged a glance. Then Ember stepped forward and asked with an air of confidence, "How many people are left in your order?"

"Wow! This aura... smells like a big deal!" The Abyss Apostle was immediately excited when he heard Ember's tone, which was full of "money is no object".

Being part of the Abyss Order is tough. Every day, the first thing every member sees when they open their eyes is countless hungry mouths.

But they live deep underground, and the area under the cult's influence is desolate and devoid of anything.

Until the underground is completely transformed, this barren state will likely remain with the Abyss Order for a long time.

Now that a big deal has been discovered, how could the Apostle of the Abyss not be excited?

"Honorable guest, may I contact the Order?" The Abyss Apostle took a few steps back and opened a spatial rift the size of a palm.

"＃%￥..."

"&@:D..."

After a series of encrypted conversations that the embers and others couldn't understand, the spatial rift in the Abyss Apostle's hand disappeared.

"Spatial rifts can be used like this?" The man in black robes asked with a hint of doubt, but unfortunately, the Abyss Apostle ignored him completely.

Now, the embers are its main focus!

"Honorable guest, I have just spoken with the Order. The Order can now spare an Abyss Mage..."

"I don't want an Abyss Mage, they're too weak!"

"Okay... okay, besides the Abyss Mage, we have 27 Apostles available, and 3 Sinners left. What are your thoughts..."

Ember looked at the face of the Abyss Apostle, whose twisted face, so different from that of a human, now revealed a smile and a desire to please.

"The power of money is not much less than that of strength," Yu Jin remarked. In any case, he felt that the Personality Correction Fist alone would definitely not be enough to make the Abyss Apostle show such an expression.

"You're absolutely right! That's what I think too. So, how many do you plan to hire?"

The Abyss Apostle echoed. Regardless of what Ember said, just go along with him.

You absolutely mustn't mess with a dog like that!

"Are you included in those 27?"

"No, that doesn't count, since I was working."

"Alright! Including you, I'll take care of everyone who read the names earlier!"

"bass--"

In the glowing eyes of the Abyss Apostle, the plate armor on Ember's body had changed from blackish-gray to a dazzling golden yellow.

Chapter 681 The Pancake Vendor is Busy

2024-05-21

"Hoo—, is this... the aura of wealth?" The Abyss Apostle was shocked by Yu Jinhao's inhuman words.

The Abyss Order had been distributing its flyers for a while and had closed a few deals. So the monsters all knew that the Order's services weren't cheap, but even so, Ember hadn't even frowned when he spoke, which was enough to show how wealthy he was.

[What a wealthy human. If only...] A ruthless glint flashed across the face beneath the Abyss Apostle's battle robe. Such a wealthy person, with a swift stroke of the blade, wouldn't his possessions become the Order's?

Evil thoughts were brewing in the apostle's mind, but were ultimately suppressed by another memory.

It was a painful memory; the apostles, born for battle, had to learn how to serve the very humans they loathed most.

[Remember this! When you see a wealthy customer, don't try to rob them! Take it slow and steady!]

[Looting only brings temporary pleasure, but if you treat them well, they become an inexhaustible resource!]

The sound of knocking on the blackboard echoed in the apostle's mind, dispelling the evil in its heart and the fierceness on its face.

"Honorable guest... I must say... hiring so many members of the cult requires no small sum of money..."

"Hisha, get her!" Upon hearing this, Yu Jin pushed Hisha forward without saying a word.

"Huh? I go?"

Shisa shook the small bottle, clearly not understanding what Ember wanted her to do.

“Tell it about the Eternal Oasis,” Ember whispered from behind, seeing that Hisa was confused.

“Eternal Oasis? Explain this to me?” Shisa was puzzled but impressed, though considering it was Ember’s order, she cleared her throat.

"The flower's owner sleeps peacefully in an eternal dream, while the king of the yellow sands cannot bear to see his dear friend slumber under the scorching sun..."

"And so the pillars of the heavens became the support of the great bed, flowers and grass clung to the sleeping flower's master, and pure water shielded her from the scorching sun..."

"This is a pure land in the desert, an eternal oasis flowing with endless milk and honey."

……

Hisa slowly recounted the legend of the eternal oasis in the desert, leaving the Embers and the Abyss Apostles stunned.

"After hearing your story, doesn't this place seem a bit ominous?" Yu Jin asked, touching Ba Sisuo.

From what Hisa said, this eternal oasis looks like flowers and grass growing on a grave.

"A very good legend, so what?" The Abyss Apostle didn't think too much about it. It just nodded and then shrugged.

There are countless legends about paradise on earth in the world. Everyone hopes that there is a real paradise on earth in some corner of the world, but few people have actually been able to find it.

"So your Abyss Order got rich." Seeing the Abyss Apostles' nonchalant attitude, Ember immediately puffed out his chest and said confidently.

"Do you know why I'm so confident? It's because I know the exact location of the Eternal Oasis!"

"As long as you Abyss send people over, I'll give you half of what's in the Eternal Oasis!"

Ember tempted the Abyss Apostle, but all he got in return was a suspicious look from the apostle.

"Although I haven't read many books, I'm not stupid. Don't try to fool me."

"I have an excellent reputation, and I don't even know how to write the word 'liar'!"

Yu Jin patted his chest and assured him.

"Evidence? I can't believe you just because you say it."

The Abyss Apostle stretched out its palm toward the embers, demanding evidence from them.

"This is the evidence!" Ember grabbed Hisa, who was flying in mid-air, and placed her in the hands of the Abyss Apostle.

"Do not touch me!!!"

As if on cue, Hisa leaped away from the Abyss Apostle's grasp. The instant she approached the Abyss Apostle, she felt as if she were about to be swallowed whole by something.

"My master, Shisa begs you, do not place me in the hands of others," Shisa said tremblingly to Ember, still feeling the lingering fear in her heart.

"So sensitive? Then I won't do it next time." Yu Jin scratched his head. He hadn't expected Hisa's reaction to be so strong. It was just a touch, after all.

However, since Hisa is unwilling, he will simply not do it again in the future.

"A talking bottle, I admit she's peculiar, but what does that have to do with the eternal oasis you're talking about?" The Abyss Apostle overheard their conversation, completely bewildered.

"A talking bottle? That's all?" Ember pointed to the two eye points in Hisa's bottle, his face full of disbelief.

Now, Hisa's appearance perfectly matches the spirit that frequently appears in desert mythology, and the Abyss Apostle didn't even know that.

Ember glanced at the unmoved apostle and realized what was happening. This guy wasn't even human, so how could he possibly understand human mythology?

"Tell me what she is?" So he turned his head and asked the man in black robes.

Upon hearing this, the black-robed man, who had remained silent, glanced at the small bottle that was closely following Yu Jin.

"A conscious spirit is rare. But I wonder if you've picked up a treasure or a jinx."

After scoffing a few times, he turned to the Abyss Apostle beside him and said:

“Since he has something like a spirit suppressor by his side, it’s possible that he might actually find the Eternal Oasis. You could try cooperating.”

"What a good man!"

The man in black robes had barely finished speaking when he saw Ember rush over and grasp his hand. The wide cloak swayed as Ember's arm moved, causing him to fall silent for a moment.

Pull and pull, but it won't budge.

With a little more force, it moved.

He used a lot of strength to barely free his hand from Yu Jin's grasp.

"...You've misunderstood. It's just that our interests happen to align, which is why you see me as a good person."

Rubbing his aching hands, the man in black robes pretended to be nonchalant and said.
