King Ember's Journey to Tevat

Chapter 612 Do you need thugs?

Kong stood on the steps and looked down at the cult below. At first, it was just a relatively open underground flat land, but now, it has begun to take shape as a settlement.

But only Kong knows how high the price of all this is. The Abyss Cult's camp site selection is not particular. Whichever place can connect to the most teleportation nodes will be designated as the camp.

Therefore, when Kong chose this place as a camp, he did not consider the possibility of it developing into a human settlement.

Now, all the drawbacks are starting to show up. First, it is desolate here, and even underground plants do not grow. Second, it is dry, and underground water flow does not flow here at all.

But all this is not a big trouble for the Abyss Order. If there are no plants, plants can be transplanted. If there are no rivers, river channels can be opened.

These things are really not difficult for the apostles of the abyss who control the elemental power.

What really gives Kong a headache is the lack of various supplies. The Abyss Cult does not have the habit of storing supplies. After all, in the past, this organization really did not need any supplies.

Members need neither food nor clothing, just a place to sit and rest is enough.

Therefore, after someone arrived, the sect's storage for fun was instantly consumed.

Everything in the camp has just begun, and there is still a long way to go before we are self-sufficient.

Kong lowered his head and saw the Abyss Apostles doing nothing in the camp. They had all been assigned to do physical work such as cultivating land and clearing boulders.

The land is limited and the boulders are limited, so they are all idle now.

Sora closed his eyes and thought for a while, then nodded heavily. It’s time for the Abyss Order’s business to expand!

……

Late at night has fallen, and if nothing goes wrong, the last place to turn off the lights in Mondstadt will be the Knights Building again.

Processing documents under the light is something Qin has experienced countless times, and she has gradually adapted to it from the initial exhaustion.

"what--"

After finishing processing the last piece of paperwork, Qin, who was stiff, stretched out. This lazy movement on her body only meant one thing - that is, today's work has finally come to an end.

But Qin's movements were unexpectedly stiffer than when she was bending over her desk before.

"Who?!" He quickly pulled out a stabbing sword from the scabbard hanging on the wall behind him, and Qin's sharp eyes scanned the small space in front of him.

"As expected of the famous 'Lion Teeth Knight', he actually sensed my aura so quickly."

Dry laughter rang out, and then a monster with a dark blue body and swords coming out of both arms walked out in front of Qin.

"Apostle of the Abyss?" Qin's inner vigilance was instantly heightened.

"That's right, I'm here this time..."

"watch out!"

"grass!"

The cyan wind turned into spikes and struck at the Abyss Apostle who didn't say a word.

"boom!"

The convoluted wind thorns were so sharp that they directly tore open a ferocious circular hole in the office wall.

The apostle of the abyss looked at his shirt with a piece missing, and couldn't help but take a high look at the woman in front of him.

"Knight of the Lion's Tooth, don't you think we..."

"Sa!" Qin interrupted the Abyss Apostle's words with a powerful shout.

The upward thrust filled with the power of wind stabbed from bottom to top, trying to make the apostle of the abyss fly high.

"Damn it! You humans can't speak well, can you?!" The Abyss Apostle was a little angry. It heard the footsteps in the distance and felt that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time.

"Humans, if you want to kill each other but don't want to do it yourself, we'll be happy to help."

"As long as you're willing to pay a small price."

The envelope sealed with purple runes was thrown onto the table by the apostle of the abyss, and then it disappeared into the abyss passage.

"Captain Qin, what happened?"

"Someone was assassinated just now?" Kaia and Rosalia were the first to arrive. As soon as they saw the mess in the head's office, they knew that things might not be that simple.

"Well, the Apostles of the Abyss just came in." Qin picked up the envelope in her hand. It was imprisoned with special purple runes, which looked extremely mysterious.

"Apostles of the Abyss? What are they doing in the leader's office?" Kaia held her chin, lost in thought.

"Perhaps you want to sow discord among the Seven Kingdoms?" Qin didn't look at the envelope, but smashed it into pieces with the breeze.

"It's hard to say, who can understand the thoughts of the abyss monsters?" Kaia shrugged, unable to deny it.

"Okay, let's all disperse. It's difficult to defend the Abyss Order with manpower alone." Qin saw the West Wind Knights gradually approaching, and waved her hand to let them go back.

The Abyss Cult cannot be defended against.

……

The city of Mondstadt briefly became lively due to the arrival of the Apostles of the Abyss. Not long after, a similar scene took place in Qun Jade Pavilion, thousands of miles away from Mondstadt.

"Your Excellency...could he be an apostle of the Abyss Religion?" Ningguang looked at the uninvited guest in front of him with some surprise. With this appearance, it seemed that only the Abyss Apostles could match him.

Ning Guang recognized the apostle of the abyss at a glance, which made the apostle of the abyss feel a little depressed. Could it be that the religious order had sent out apostles too many times before?
How come everyone knows that he is an apostle of the abyss? This made the apostle of the abyss, who wanted to show off, feel like he couldn't sneeze.

"Not bad." The apostle of the abyss could only nod his head angrily. The only thing that makes it somewhat gratifying is that this human doesn't yell at it as soon as it comes up like the previous human. Maybe it can happen this time!

"Apostle of the Abyss, how come you have the leisure to come to our Jade Pavilion?" Ningguang turned his back and made gestures to Baiwen, Baishi and Baixiao in the dark.

The three of them understood and immediately went to prepare.

The movements of Baiwen, Baishi, and Baixiao were noticed by the apostle of the abyss, but it did not pay attention.

Three humans who couldn't even defeat a wild boar were not worth the abyss apostles wasting any energy on them.

"Hmph, come here this time..."

"What do you think of my screen? All the famous mountains and rivers of Liyue are depicted on it."

The apostle of the abyss just wanted to talk to Ningguang about something, but Ningguang was quick to talk, and she immediately changed the topic to the screen next to the Jade Pavilion.

The screen is inlaid with mahogany on the outside and has gold threads on the inside. Each stroke outlines the infinite scenery. Just one look at it makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Of course, the Abyss Apostle felt depressed looking at this object whose name it didn't know. Human beings always like to place useless things in their homes.

"It's... very beautiful." Considering that Ning Guang might be a potential partner, the Abyss Apostle still praised him bravely.

What are the things painted on this? Why can't it understand it?

"You are from Liyue..."

"Thank you for the compliment. Please take a look at my bonsai again. I specially asked someone to pot it from the depths of the Xumi Rainforest."

Ning Guang chuckled upon hearing this, and then directed the Abyss Apostle's gaze to a carefully decorated potted plant.

This made the apostle of the abyss as uncomfortable as eating a fly. It looked down at the unknown bonsai and couldn't help but put its trembling hands behind its back - because it was afraid that it would lose control of its arms and uproot the bonsai.

The refreshing aroma came, making the apostle of the abyss shudder. It suddenly reacted, and its trembling hands didn't seem to be trembling because of anger.

I really can't control my hands!
"boom!"

"It seems that Doctor Bai's ability is deeper than I thought. This kind of incense should be distributed to Qianyan Army by the General Affairs Department in the future."

Ningguang looked down at the apostle of the abyss who collapsed on the ground, while playing with the long incense in his hand.

"you……"

"What am I? You, the Abyss Cult, dared to come to our Jade Pavilion after eating the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard,"

"Baiwen, Baixiao, Baishi, pack this guy up and throw it to Iwagami Tea House!"

Ning Guang snorted coldly, and the three followers behind her who had just disappeared came closer with ropes, sacks and the like.

"Human! Just wait for me!"

In the light of the abyss passage, these were the last words left by the apostle of the abyss to Ningguang and others.
