Chapter 793 Return to Port Omos (2)
The next day, the port of Ormos.
The morning light casts a shadow over the rippling blue sea, its golden glow interwoven with the bustling hustle and bustle of the port, creating a vivid scene. Entrusted by Caesar, the sage of the Order, Ying and her companions once again set foot in this bustling port, brimming with exotic charm and bustling with merchants and travelers.
Compared to the last time I visited, not much seems to have changed here - the docks are still bustling with people and caravans are still flowing.
Spices, silks and rare goods were passed back and forth between cranes and porters, and the air was filled with the unique scent of sea breeze and exotic spices.
Everything was back to normal, which was normal, after all, they were only away for a short while.
[Oh~ As expected of Omos Port, this background music is simply a masterpiece! ]
[The music group started killing people as soon as they entered Xumi. The melody was so atmospheric.]
[This background music really makes you feel instantly immersed in the story, as if you are in a trading hub on the edge of the desert.]
[One moment they were in a meeting at the House of the Lords, and then in a flash they were at the Port of Ormos? The pacing is pretty fast.]
"Port Omos, we're back!" Paimon spun excitedly in the air, his voice as clear as a bell.
She then turned to look at Ying, her tone filled with urgency:
"Now that we've confirmed that the Canned Divine Knowledge is in the hands of the Eye of Akhmar mercenaries, let's go find them! Time is of the essence!"
"Wait a moment... let me catch my breath..." Ying half-knelt on the ground, supporting her knee with one hand, breathing slightly, with fine beads of sweat oozing from her forehead.
Moving long distances through the teleportation anchor point consumed a lot of her physical strength, and her figure was slightly shaky at this moment.
"Uh, Ying, are you okay?" Paimon tilted his head, a worried look on his face.
Ying rolled her eyes, her tone filled with helplessness: "What do you think? I teleported all the way from Xumi City to here in one breath. Who do you think I am?"
"Hehe..." Paimon scratched the back of his head and laughed dryly, "I didn't expect you to be able to spell it like this..."
Ying immediately gave him an icy death stare. "How dare you say that? Who instigated all this? Do I need to name them?"
Paimon turned his head guiltily, his eyes wandering, as if he was looking at the clouds in the sky.
His thoughts quietly went back to yesterday, when they accepted Caesar's astonishing commission at the Apostolic House.
……
"In that case... then I'll offer—this amount."
Caesar spoke slowly, his tone deliberately drawn out, a sly glint in his eyes. He slowly raised his hand, palm up, and held up a finger.
"10 Mora?" Paimon guessed tentatively.
Caesar shook his head slightly.
Paimon's breathing hitched, and his heartbeat quickened: "Could it be... one million Mora?"
Although she and Ying could earn a million Mora in a day working at Fengdeng Tower, that was after all the income from a special mission.
If accumulated only through ordinary entrustment, one million is already a huge sum of money, enough to make one's heart beat faster.
However, Caesar still shook his head, a meaningful smile on his face.
"Ten million Mora," he said calmly, "Five million upfront, and the remaining five million will be settled upon your return from your mission."
Before he finished speaking, he pulled out an exquisite check from his pocket, wrote the amount in swift strokes, signed his name, and then handed it to Ying: "Here, take it. This check can be exchanged at the North Country Bank in Xumi and is valid throughout the country."
[So there's a Northern Bank in Xumi? I thought it was only in Liyue!]
[Indeed, we’ve only seen it in Liyue in the game…]
[Think about it, a financial institution like the North Country Bank should have branches in every country, right? It's just that the plot focuses on different things, so only the Liyue branch appears.]
[I can only say that Teyvat's financial system is more complete than I imagined...]
Paimon and Iya who was standing beside him widened their eyes almost at the same time, their gazes fixed on the thin but heavy check, their eyes twinkling like stars, and the desire was written directly on their faces.
"We promise to complete the task as quickly as possible and without any delay!" Paimeng issued a military order on the spot, his tone as firm as if he was about to rush to the battlefield.
……
Because of this, in order to bring back the five million Moras as soon as possible, Paimon has been trying hard to persuade Ying to set off since last night, and even successfully persuaded the little Yiya, who can't even speak clearly at the moment, to rebel.
And what’s even more outrageous is that Yiya actually listened to her!
"Sister...sister...let's go..."
The childish voice was a little stammering, but it was filled with sincere anticipation. The small figure tugged at Ying's clothes, looking up at her with eyes as clear as a spring.
Who could possibly resist such an onslaught of adorable power? Even the resolute Ying couldn't make it through the night.
So, in the first rays of morning sun, this group of people used the teleportation anchor to cross a thousand miles, exhausted the last bit of Ying's physical strength, and arrived at this dazzling pearl on the edge of the desert.
Port of Ormos.
This is the reason and process why the group passed the teleportation anchor early in the morning and consumed a lot of physical energy to arrive at the port of Omos.
