King Ember's Journey to Tevat

Chapter 694 The Sleeping City

"Don't tell me that it was you who caused everyone in Xumiru to fall into deep sleep." Nasita saw the excited look on Yishe's face, and she reasonably suspected that he was responsible for the changes in Xumi City.

"I'm not that free. What's more, no matter how durable the big wooden stick is, it can't withstand such a beating."

Ember shook his head. To put so many people into such a deep sleep, he estimated that at least two huge sticks would be needed - because one was not durable enough.

"???"

"Don't worry so much. Also, can't you use your own body? Use Catherine's..." Yi Yan looked up, and he saw a confused look on Catherine's face, and felt extremely uncomfortable.

"I always feel very inconsistent."

"I understand this, don't worry, I'm just borrowing her body. I'm already thinking about how to run out." Nasida nodded after hearing this.

She also didn't expect that the Teaching Council would ignore the safety of the people of Sumeru and forcibly use the void to harvest their consciousness.

"What do you mean, you were imprisoned by the Order?" After listening to Nasida's words, Yi Jin raised his eyebrows.

Thinking about it and running out, how can ordinary gods think about this?

"Yes. My strength is very weak and I have no experience. I am not one-tenth as good as the fallen Great Ci Tree King."

"The Order Council already has sufficient experience in governing Xumi. I want to study hard for a while and strive to become a qualified god before I come out."

"So you just learned it for hundreds of years?"

Regarding Ember's question, a hint of embarrassment appeared on Nasida's face. She waved her hand and argued forcefully:

"No...not only that, but also the World Tree. Apart from studying, all my other energy is spent on paying attention to the changes in the World Tree."

Yan Yan looked at Nasida who was explaining something and couldn't help but cover her face.

"Look at you, five hundred years have been wasted without doing anything."

"Study, tell me what you have learned? You can't govern a country, but you can start with a village, right?"

"After five hundred years, will you be able to govern the country again?"

Under Ember's questioning, Nasida seemed at a loss. Sad? A little bit, but mostly overwhelmed.

After all, this was her first long conversation with someone, and it was also her first time being pointed in the face and questioned.

Seeing the confusion on Nacida's face, Ember sighed.

"Forget it, you have a problem, and those brats in the Order have an even bigger problem. We can't unilaterally blame all the mistakes on you."

As Nacida herself said, her power was weak. Among the demon gods, he should be the most incompetent, and he probably can't even do the job of the executive officer in the back seat.

If she had time to scold her here for not breaking through the blockade of the Order and practicing what she had learned outside, it would be better to go and beat up the Order.

"By the way, how about the World Tree? I believe Xiao Huang can handle things almost, so you don't have to worry about it, right?"

Ember patted Nacida's shoulder, trying to comfort her with the improvement of World Tree, but it seemed that it had the opposite effect - because after he finished saying these words, Nacida's face became ugly.

Ember's words brought back memories deep in Nacida's heart. When she thought of the scene under the World Tree, her face began to distort, as if she was stuck by a fishbone, unable to breathe, unable to speak, and her entire face was livid.

"No, I have more to worry about. Do you have time, Ember? Come with me to the World Tree after this dream ends. I'm scared!"

"Afraid? What's there to be afraid of? The golden tree has rebelled?" Yi Yan scratched his head, it didn't make sense, the golden tree shouldn't dare.

Unless it's very resistant to burning.

"Huh... I can't tell for a while, but now I'd better wake up everyone in Xumi."

Nacida's expression changed again and again, but in the end she said nothing. The changes in the World Tree are so great that it can’t be explained for a while.

"Indeed, the most important thing now is to find out what happened to Xumi." Yi Yan nodded. He didn't think the Golden Tree could do anything bad at all.

So even if Nasida became the Riddler, Ember didn't have any angry thoughts. At worst, he could ask the Golden Tree about it.

He pried open the door to the street room and Ember ran in in a flash. "Why are you so skillful in your movements!" Nasita couldn't help but complain as she followed Hu Jin and saw that he was familiar with the road.

"I was forced out." Yi Yan responded briefly. Why is he so good at picking locks? Without it, only familiarity with hands and ears.

The main reason is that the folk customs of Rodlan and Roddel are so "simple" that people want to lock all their belongings.

Forget about locking it. The key is that the quality of the lock is very good. The world is on the verge of doom, but the lock is still as good as new.

So Yan Yan developed this trick - no matter what kind of lock, he can pick it open in minutes, and he no longer has to worry about taking a detour because the door is locked!

When they arrived at the house, the two of them saw a figure lying in the bedroom as expected.

But something strange is that this man is half of his body outside the bed and has not taken off his clothes.

"Is it so tiring to beg for food in Xumi?" Yu Jin walked over and looked at the sleeping people of Xumi. This person might not just sleep on the bed.

Regarding Ember's words, Nasida simply dismissed them as farts. She looked around the bed and finally locked her eyes on the marks on the bed.

"He was dragged onto the bed." Nasida touched the folds of the sheets and said to Ember with great confidence.

"How did you get it?"

"The direction of the folds of the sheets is opposite to the entrance to the bedroom, indicating that someone dragged him facing the bedroom; there are also changes in the clothes, there are obvious signs of the person's clothes being pulled upward..."

"Okay, don't say it, I believe it."

Ember quickly stopped Nasheida's ramblings, which made him dizzy.

"Go and have a look at other places. I see no sign that the room has been disturbed. The purpose of the Order House cannot be as simple as letting the people of Sumeru sleep."

There were no clues in this house, so the two immediately ran to other houses.

Without exception, the owners of the houses seemed to have been dragged in, and some houses even had people sleeping all over the floor.

"It seems that the time to fall asleep should be around evening." Walking on the empty street, Nasida was deep in thought.

"What exactly does the Order Council want to do?"

"Why don't we go directly to the people in the Teaching Council and ask?" Yi Yan was gearing up, looking eager to try.

"Hmm..., a good way." Nacida stopped thinking for a moment, because she found that she could do this with Ember's strength.

As a result, the two of them hurriedly ran along the road built on the holy tree towards the Holy Order House at the top.

The Cathedral is hidden in the canopy of the sacred tree. The whole building is white and green, just like the flowers of the sacred tree in bloom, looking dignified and rational.

But it was night now, and Yi Yan had no intention of looking at the beauty of this building. He ran at the front and kicked open the door of the Order.

"boom!"

"Huh? Did you want to open this door by yourself just now?"

Yi Yan looked down at the twisted door, feeling a little guilty for no reason.

But soon, he became confident.

"We also use automatic doors. I'm afraid the desert's assistance will not be wasted on this!"

With this thought in mind, Yi Yan swaggered into the teaching court. But unexpectedly, in the huge teaching courtyard, there was only him and the sound of Nasida's hurried footsteps.

"Isn't it, so cruel? Not even sparing one of his own?" Yu Jin rolled the eyelids of the student at his feet. The two dead fish eyes were covered with dark circles, nothing to look at.

"It seems that this is a problem with some people in the Order Academy." Nasida also rushed over at this moment, and her tone was inexplicably relaxed.

Even the students of the Teaching Order were brutally murdered, which at least shows that these things are now only a problem for some people in the Teaching Order, not everyone's problem.

Teaching Order, there is still hope!
