The treasure thieves of Teyvat rob Shenhe

Lin Ye: ...

Opening his eyes, Lin Ye sensed his surroundings and found no trace of illusion. His mental resistance was extremely high and he was immune to most means of bewitching.

A man of great skill is bold and courageous. Since the other party called him, he might as well see what tricks the other party has to play.

Lin Ye moved the lattice door and looked up at the sky. The stars were shining brightly, the moon was as white as jade, and the dreamy scenery of Haigi Island set off each other, it was truly a beautiful scroll.

Walking along the corridor, using the power of the abyss to hide his breath, Lin Ye easily bypassed the guards and left the Coral Palace.

As for the people sent by Xinhai to secretly monitor Linye, they had been hypnotized and fell asleep without knowing it.

Lin Ye looked far to the west, and the whispering call became stronger and stronger.

When performing the Flash, Lin Ye arrived at the Kuzukumo Shrine on the west side of Kaigi Island.

Mizuun, born in the U clan, had a younger sister named Ogozen Ayame, a historical figure from more than 2,000 years ago. She was introduced before. She persuaded the legendary sea beast Daikansho, but later died in the Eastern Expedition and her body was obtained by the shogunate.

Today, the Tsunyun Shrine has collapsed and fallen into disrepair, and few people come here to worship. Under the moonlight, it looks even more desolate and bleak.

Arriving at the Tsunyun Shrine, Lin Ye relied on his seemingly plausible intuition to find the blood branch coral from the ruins of the Tsunyun Shrine.

Blood branch coral is a coral condensed from the life force of the great sea god Oropas. It is an indispensable prop for the "Sea God Spirit Festival".

Lin Ye squatted down and picked up the red-blue coral. It felt cold to the touch. When he held it, the whispers in his ears suddenly became clearly audible.

That is the sound of the waves.

That was the sound made by the huge creature moving its body.

Lin Ye stood up and saw a giant snake covered with corals. Its size occupied the western coastline of the Tsunami Shrine. Its shape seemed real and illusory, and its purple snake eyes stared at him.

The Great God of the Sea, Enroha clan - Oropus.

Compared with His figure, the forest seems as small as dust.

"Mortal, I want to make a deal with you." Oropas said straight to the point.

Lin Ye was slightly stunned, observing the appearance of Oropas. He only had the form but lacked the actual power, he was just a projection.

Lin Ye was not surprised that Orobasi would show up. He was a cautious and intelligent demon god. Although the Eastern Expedition was initiated by the people of the Sea God and forced him to do so, to some extent, it was also an active choice made by the demon god Orobasi who wanted to spy on forbidden knowledge. The specific time of the Eastern Expedition was decided by him, the god of the Sea God Island.

So, Oropas had enough time to arrange his funeral.

Mengyun vaguely realized that this Eastern Expedition was doomed to fail, but so what? He would follow the gods and strive for survival without any regrets.

"What deal?" Lin Ye asked.

Rather than how Orobas appeared, Lin Ye was more curious about the content of the transaction and why he was approached.

Oropas's body was large enough that even if he looked down, he could still see the Coral Palace and his people who came to him on their own initiative.

After a moment of silence, Oropas said.

"This body is the embodiment of the power I left on Haiji Island. Mortal, you are only one step away from becoming extraordinary, and I can help you."

"You mean, you can give me the power of the devil?"

"Yes."

Lin Ye frowned and asked again.

"How do you know I lack the power of a demon?"

"To ascend the long steps to become the new king of this world, the power of the demon god is indispensable as a pass." Orobas said meaningfully.

"What do you mean?"

"Are you ready to fight against the adult in the sky?" Oropas asked.

Lin Ye laughed dumbly.

Shaking his head, Lin Ye said softly.

"So, what's the price?"

"Protect my people on my behalf," Oropas answered simply.

When Oropus spied on secrets that he shouldn't have known, he was looking for a way out. He himself was a loser and almost died in the war between demons and gods, but the people of the Abyss Palace needed him and respected him.

God loves man, and survival is no longer that important to Him.

What Oropus was trying to avoid was the nails of destruction that would rain down from heaven and destroy the people he loved so much.

Later, an adult came to visit and gave him advice. Oropas used himself as a bargaining chip and bet on the future of Kaigi Island.

Lin Ye was just one step away from promotion. Faced with this temptation that was within reach, Lin Ye's answer showed no hesitation at all.

"Sorry, I refuse."

The problem facing Haiji Island is a bottomless pit. Lin Ye is not arrogant enough to think that he can protect tens of thousands of lives on an island.

Besides, according to the official setting, Umijima belongs to Inazuma, so of course it is taken care of by Narukami.

Upon hearing this, Oropus could not hide his disappointment, even though he had a snake's face.

"You just need to make a promise. It doesn't matter if you regret it later. I'm no longer here, and no one will know about the deal between us."

Oropas, the demon god, patiently and kindly advised a human boy with an almost humble attitude.

Lin Ye refused rationally.

pot.

Big black pot.

Lin Ye was worried that there was something fishy going on and that he would lose his life. He sighed and spoke sincerely.

"People are greedy and will suffer the consequences. What belongs to you will eventually be obtained, and what does not belong to you, just let it go."

"…Is this fate?" Oropas' voice sounded somewhat desolate.

"Forget it. I won't force you. I can't do anything for Haigi Island right now..."

The blood branch coral on Oropas' body gradually fell off and turned into a flying butterfly.

"My follower, the Coral King Worm, has the ability to reverse the Holy Land and allow you to stay in the [Dragon Lizard Realm] for a period of time. I can give it to you."

"I won't agree to your deal." Lin Ye said.

"No, this is another request. Yes, a request." Oropus said, "I hope you can help them when they encounter difficulties on Haiji Island. This does not mean you have to risk your life. Just do what you can."

Lin Ye did not reject it immediately this time because the system made a sound.

"World Quest [Afterlife of the Great God of the Sea]: Orobas is worried about his people, and in exchange for the Coral King Worm, he asks you to help solve any three problems on the Sea Island in the future. The time limit is unlimited."

“Reward: 50 Stones

Large experience book *3

Dependent. Coral King Worm"

Lin Ye pondered the pros and cons, and Oropus waited patiently until a seagull cried. Lin Ye raised his head and said solemnly.

"I promise."

Compared with the first deal that was tightly tied to Kaigi Island, Orobas' second deal was much more flexible.

Working for Haigi Island three times is not too many, but not too few either, and there is no deadline. Lin Ye can easily avoid this task for the rest of his life.

If Lin Ye wanted to help Kaigi Island, he would not do it because of the mission, but would follow his own heart.

Orobas smiled, and his voice became disembodied.

"When you complete my commission, this blood branch coral will become the egg of the coral king worm. I'll leave these children in your care."

Oropus refers to both the coral king worm and the sea people.

Lin Ye nodded.

a man of his words.

Oropus disappeared surrounded by the coral king worms.

The coral king worms also dissipated like fireworks.

Lin Ye put the blood branch coral into the system space and said to himself.

"Does catching a spy for Kaigi Island count as one?"

Lin Ye glanced in the direction where Oropas disappeared. He had to admit that this big snake loved his people deeply. He might not be strong enough, but he was definitely a qualified leader and parent.

Lin Ye returned to the Coral Palace. It was already late at night and the moon had climbed to the highest point in the night sky.

Huai Min also didn't go to bed.

Xinhai sat at the edge of the corridor, looking up at the moon.

Lin Ye showed up helplessly because the sea of heart blocked his way.

"Are you awake yet?" Lin Ye greeted, without any embarrassment of sneaking out and being discovered.

"Yeah." Xinhai nodded slightly.

She read late into the night and dealt with work, and indeed did not sleep.

But this kind of thing cannot be told to Wulang and the others, otherwise they will be worried. It is also not easy to tell outsiders, as the relationship is not that serious.

"Aren't you going to ask me where I've been?" Lin Ye calmly sat next to Xin Hai, admiring the moon together. He didn't know if today was the fifteenth day of the lunar month, but it was very round.

"Tip it off?"

"No."

Lin Ye understood. It seemed that Xinhai and the others had not discovered that Orobasi had appeared on the west coast.

"…In fact, I suspect that you went to the cell to use special methods on Nathan. According to Takahashi's report, you seem to have the ability of hypnosis, and the people I sent were also knocked unconscious by you."

"How dare you, the living goddess, put yourself in danger? Aren't you afraid that I will hypnotize you?" Lin Ye joked with a smile, wondering what kind of threatening words he was saying.

"You are from Liyue, so you should know that you can't get a tiger cub without risking it." Xinhai said.

"So what do you want, Xinhai?"

"Heart Sea?"

"I'm not from Haiji Island, and I'm not your subordinate. Is it okay to call you by your name?"

"of course not."

"Shilang, Fujino has confessed." Xinhai said.

"Fujino...who is that?"

"The suspect who was detained with Nathan was persuaded by his wife Peaches."

Xin Hai's voice was calm, which she maintained intentionally.

"Now that the case has been solved, what should we do with them?"

Xinhai pondered for a while and said.

"They also made mistakes for Haiji Island. Please don't misunderstand. I am not trying to absolve them of their crimes. They should have been prepared before destroying the talisman on Bayun Island."

"That's not necessarily the case."

"..."

"I don't know about the others, but Nathan's goal is not for the sake of Haiji Island. Now that the others have confessed, you also know who the mastermind is."

"what do you mean?"

"Nathan is not from Inazuma, let alone from Kaigi Island."

Xinhai blinked her eyes. She understood what Lin Ye meant and couldn't help asking.

"What evidence do you have?"

"Answer me first, has Umijima cooperated with the Fatui?"

"The Fatui... they were inclined to cooperate with us and provide supplies to our army, but after comprehensive considerations, I rejected it."

"Do you suspect Nathan is a spy sent by the Fatui?"

"hold head high."

Xinhai laughed, she realized her own gaffe and explained.

"Sorry, I lost my composure. I think you're such an interesting person. You act with an almost arrogant confidence, and it turns out to be true. Did you rely on your intuition this time as well?"
