King Ember's Journey to Tevat

Chapter 764: Another traitor appears in the Abyss Cult?
The people lurking near the pool succumbed to Jacob's power and ran away. After looking around and making sure that it was correct, the latter dived into the water.

After he left, the embers on the hillside jumped down. He looked at the rippling pool and felt distressed.

"Why do we dive more often once we get to Fontaine?"

With this mentality, Yu Jin quietly followed Jacob.

In the water-filled cave, he finally understood why so many people just stayed at the exit of Haimo Village and didn't go in - the cave was winding, and if ordinary people went down without diving equipment, they would not be able to escape the fate of drowning even if they knew the way.

But obviously, this situation did not apply to Jacob. His luxurious purple robe swayed with the water flow, but his flexibility was not affected at all.

In the azure cave, he seemed very familiar with the place.

Soon, Yu Jin, who was hiding at the back, found that Jacob in front of him had disappeared. He waited for a while under the water, and then slowly poked his head out of the water.

This is a hollowed-out hill, with scattered small houses in the wide belly of the hill. These houses look less than half the size of normal houses, and the decorations on them are also varied and arbitrary.

Looking around, it felt like a large building block park. But considering that the people living here were all Melusins, Yu Jin suddenly felt that it was a lot more normal.

He was now on a high ground in the corner of the small village. If he went down the path ahead, he would be able to reach Haimo Village directly.

As for Jacob, he had already run to a small house.

That room, like the others here, was very small. To be honest, it was only about the height of a person and a half.

The walls are ordinary brick walls, and the roof is directly covered with a giant shell. This kind of combination can only be seen in Haimo Village.

Not only that, there are countless graffiti painted on the white walls and large shells. These graffiti are of all colors and have unclear meanings, as if they were just drawn casually.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

Jacob knocked on the door, and soon, a puzzled response came from behind the small door.

"Who?"

With a creaky sound, the door opened and a girl named Meilushin wearing an apron walked out.

The color of her body was very similar to that of Huawen and Aibel, whom Yujin had seen before, both were bluish-white. However, the horns on her head were different, Aibel's horns were like two spindles, while hers were like those of a fawn.

Mame looked up and saw someone coming. Then a look of surprise appeared on her puzzled face.

"Ah, Mr. Jacob, when did you come running over here?"

"I just came over. How are you? Do you have any new paintings?"

Jacob gave Mamehe the same smile.

"What's going on? Do they know each other?" Yu Jin, who was hiding in the corner, saw Jacob and Melusin talking and laughing, and became confused.

Could these two be friends? Then there is no point in following them. What is there to spy on when two friends meet?
"Of course, what do you think of this painting?" When Mamehe heard Jacob's question, she immediately ran back to the house excitedly and took out a painting that could be described as "weird".

The paint on the canvas is smeared together, and the various colors are intertwined, which is dazzling.

But despite using a lot of paint and a lot of ink, there is nothing tangible on the canvas, just a hodgepodge of pigments.

"Yes, Miss Mamehe's painting skills have improved again. Look at the outline of the painting, and then look at the mixing of the paint. Miss Mamehe, you are simply a genius in art!"

Jacob carefully "observed" the painting on the canvas, and then praised Mamehe.

"It's really good. It's almost worthy of being a portrait of Youshen." Yu Jin came over at some point. While admiring the colorful black, he applauded Mamehe.

"Hehehe, you two are so flattering me..." Mamehe almost fainted with excitement after being praised by two people in a row.

Finally someone can appreciate my paintings!

"Deep Portrait... Wait! Who are you?" Jacob reacted and looked at Ember with vigilance.

Where did this guy come from and why didn't he notice it at all?

"I'm here for tourism." Yu Jin glanced at Jacob, then plucked out a strand of his hair with lightning speed. He twisted the short brown hair in his hand, and the strand of hair turned into a ball of black and disappeared.

"No? The Abyss Cult has been very idle recently, right? How can you, a person baptized in deep sin, still have the mind to appreciate paintings here?"

As soon as Yu Jin saw the black thing disappearing in his hand, he realized that Jacob was a member of the Abyss Cult, and judging from the concentration of Abyss power in his hair, he was also a person baptized in deep sin.

"What Abyss Cult? Don't compare me to those short-sighted people who are complacent after gaining a little power!"

When Jacob heard Yu Jin comparing him to the Cult of the Abyss, he seemed very angry, as if he had been humiliated.

"Oh, I see. You are a traitor of the Abyss Cult." Yu Jin nodded. He didn't expect to meet a traitor of the Abyss Cult here. Isn't it said that the Abyss monsters will never betray the Abyss Cult?

But he changed his mind and thought of those weirdos on the abyss. He felt that Jacob was understandable.

"Think what you want. Anyway, I am not on the same page as those guys from the Abyss Cult."

Jacob looked the embers up and down, but finally resisted the urge to do it himself.

He was able to see through my disguise so easily, so his strength should not be underestimated. Now that the prophecy is about to come true, it is better not to have a conflict.

"Two... two of you, stop fighting!"

Mamehe, who was standing in front of the two men, heard their conversation and immediately waved her hand to advise them. Although she couldn't understand what Yu Jin and Jacob were talking about, it seemed that there was a lot of tension between them.

In order to avoid a fight, she felt she needed to come out and give a reminder.

"Fight? I never start a fight. Don't hit me three times before I fight back."

"No one has time to chop a tin can three times."

"Huh... That's good."

Mamehelian was relieved that the two had no intention of fighting. They were both good people who could "appreciate" her paintings, and she didn't want them to fight.

"So, can you two give me some suggestions for my painting?" Mamehe looked at the two of them expectantly.

She likes to draw, but unfortunately, no one can understand what she draws except herself.

When showing it to other Meilushin in Haimo Village, everyone would just say some polite words like "good-looking" or "pretty", and could not give any substantial suggestions at all.

So Mamehe was looking forward to what the two would say next.

Hearing this, Jacob lowered his head slightly and held up his chin, looking as if he was thinking about something.

"I think you could use more red, Mamehe. Red is warm and bold, and it can better express your own ideas when you create."

"Red? Okay... well, although red is a little hard to find, but since Mr. Jacob said so, I will improve it in my next painting!"

Mamehe nodded immediately. She looked at her colorful canvas and felt that the emotions she had when painting were not fully expressed.

"Improve……"

Yu Jin also held his chin like Jacob, and then he began to outline a human face on the colorful black.

"Are you trying to say that instead of using colors to express emotions, it's better to just use a brush to outline them? That's right..."

Mamehe felt that he had come up with a lot of ideas that Yujin didn't have, and then he nodded to himself.

"What is this? A shoe horn?"

Jacob also leaned over to take a look, and then he found that Ember was also a master of abstraction.

"What shoe horn? I'm painting you!" Upon hearing this, Yu Jin put down his paintbrush.

This guy's eyesight is bad!
