King Ember's Journey to Tevat

Chapter 787 The Master's Thoughts

"What's so special about Fontaine?"

"Too many. What do you want to know, Mr. Ember?"

The most commonly used route from the Grey River to Fontaine is an extremely long iron ladder. It is these steel bars nailed to the pipes that connect the top and bottom of Fontaine.

Now, Ember and Ivers were climbing up the ladder, discussing issues concerning the agent and the Fontaine trial.

"Um... isn't it a little problematic to treat the trial as a drama?"

"Really? It's okay. Many people in Fontaine like this."

Regarding viewing the trial as a drama, Yu Jin felt that it was not a good idea, but Ivers thought it was no big deal.

"I think it may be necessary to collect the mixed energy of law compensation to do this." Ivers thought about it and gave another possibility.

"Law pays for chaos?"

"It's the energy source that Fontaine is using now. All the machinery, street lights, and patrol boats you see are powered by it."

"That makes sense."

Ember nodded. That made sense.

"Okay, we should be reaching the ground soon." While they were talking, Ember and Ivers were about to reach the ground.

"boom!"

"call!"

As the two men came out of the not-so-big well, they finally left the Gray River completely.

Yu Jin looked back at the entrance of the Gray River behind him, which was no bigger than an ordinary sewer. Who would have thought that such a small pipe was connected to such a huge underground world?
"Has no one considered opening an oblique opening from underground to above ground?" Yu Jin couldn't help but complain as he looked at Ivers rubbing his waist.

It would be strange if my waist didn't feel sore after climbing the ladder for so long.

"Haha, this is a big project, and the problems to be solved are not limited to the engineering field."

"Let's leave it to the big guys."

After saying this angrily, Ivers waved at Yu Jin and took him to travel around Fontaine.

The two of them wandered around the city and finally arrived at the Law Enforcement Court. As soon as they entered the door, Yu Jin saw the young master dozing off.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Hey! Wake up!"

"Um..., Embers?! Did you really find it?!"

The young master watched Yu Jin and Ivers walk into the interrogation room, and he immediately became alert. He never expected Ivers to be so efficient. It's only been half a day, right? He actually found Yu Jin.

"Why do you think I'm hard to find? Just post a commission at the Adventurer's Guild and I'll show up, okay?"

Yu Jin could only spread his hands in response to the young master's surprise. It was obvious that he was the easiest person to find, it just required some methods.

"Tell me, what have you done wrong?"

Pulling a chair over and sitting down, Yu Jin asked the young master casually. To be honest, he was quite surprised.

It's only been a few days since he came to Fontaine? He's already in trouble. This ability to get into trouble is not something that ordinary people can do.

"What do you mean 'again'? And can that be called a crime? I was just sparring with other people."

"Besides, I'm not the only one who started this."

The young master scratched his head and defended himself, but there was always some guilt in his tone.

"That's really amazing. Who can fight with you so hard?" Yu Jin asked curiously.

"Inseparable? You must be underestimating me. I was just in the mood, so I played with that guy for fun."

"So you just had fun?"

Yu Jin shrugged at the young master, unable to deny it.

"Um... okay, I admit that I was a little bit drunk at the time, and by the time I realized what was happening, it was a bit too late." The young man looked constipated. If not for this, he wouldn't have been photographed so many times with his head taken without knowing it.

"By the way, I don't know if it's an illusion, but I feel that boy's moves are a bit like yours..."

The young master narrowed his eyes. Olympia's body was on fire and looked a bit like embers.

Could it be that this was a trap set for him by Yu Jin?
"Maybe it was a piece of paper I dropped somewhere and someone picked it up. Sometimes there's some martial arts skills written on it." Yu Jin waved his hand nonchalantly.

"You still throw things like this around?"

"Nonsense, do you think I really don't clean my armor? Besides, I can remember those things with my eyes closed, whoever picks them up will be lucky." Hearing this, the young master looked up at the armor on Yu Jin's body. It was old, but not very dirty. It was in a half-cleaned state, as if it was cleaned, but it might be troublesome and lazy to clean halfway.

So, he suddenly felt that Yu Jin's words were very credible.

"Throw two to me. I want this."

"Give."

Yu Jin didn't waste any time and directly threw two pieces of paper to the young master. The latter spread it out. Although there were stains, the words on it were still clearly visible - although he had never seen this type of words before.

Even though he couldn't understand it, the young master still stared at the two pages. He had always been very talented in martial arts, so maybe he would suddenly understand it.

"do you want?"

"I……"

"Here, I've never used a gun, so I'm giving you some tips on how to use a bow. Think about it and see if it's useful to you."

What else could Ivers say? He accepted the gift silently.

Yu Jin turned around and saw that the young master was still staring at the two rags he had just used to wipe his face, so he knocked on the table in front of him.

"Still looking? You'll have plenty of opportunities to think about it when you're in prison."

"Why did you just assume that I would go to jail?" Upon hearing this, the young master put down the paper in his hand. Hearing Yu Jin's lack of trust in him, he couldn't help but complain.

"Because Ivers gave me a general account of your situation on the way. To be honest, the evidence is so conclusive, you don't have the money to pay, and I don't have the ability to distort the truth..."

Yu Jin paused for a moment, patted the young master's shoulder heavily, and then continued:

"Reform yourself well in prison, and I'll welcome you back when you get out!"

"..."

"Then I still have to thank you?"

The young master wanted to cry but had no tears.

"No need to thank me, I just think you're miserable. If nothing unexpected happens, you should be alone when you get out of prison, right?"

"..."

The young master fell silent again. His intuition told him that what Yu Jin said was probably true.

But soon he suddenly realized that he might have been dragged into the ditch by the embers.
He was obviously planning to duel, right? How did he end up going to jail to reform his life?

"Don't make such a fuss. Do you know the duties of an agent?"

"I know, I know. What I, as an agent, have to do is to restore the full picture of the incident as much as possible?"

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at Ivers beside him.

"Yes, that's about right."

Ivers on the side nodded, and Yu Jin understood the agent very well.

"That's fine! As long as you tell them the whole story, I will be innocent... um... partially innocent, and then I can challenge you to a duel!" The young master added.

"So you're still thinking about fighting?" Yu Jin covered his face. Others who were looking for agents were thinking about how to clear themselves of the case, but this young master was just thinking about fighting.

"Of course. I'll feel uneasy if I don't fight with that woman!" The young man nodded eagerly.

Logically speaking, he could control his desire to fight. But as luck would have it, Clorinde's title of "Strongest Duel Agent" contained the word "Strongest".

It’s easy to discuss whether to fight or not, but if someone has a title like “the strongest” or “invincible” on his head, don’t blame Tartaglia for insisting on fighting!
"Have you ever thought about what will happen to you after the fight?"

Yu Jin asked Excited Young Master. Surprisingly, he actually thought about this question.

"Yes, I just ran away after the fight. They couldn't catch up with me anyway."

"..."

Now it was Yu Jin's turn to be silent. He thought that the young master would stay in prison obediently, but it turned out that he was overthinking.

"When will this guy's trial begin?"

"It should be in these few days."

Ivers thought for a moment, then responded.

"Okay, I understand."

After saying that, Yu Jin left.
