Wizard: Unlimited Profession Slots Chapter 764 - 349: Three Apostles_2

"Lord Chai Ye..."

Nari hesitantly opened the communication, her tone filled with a young girl's shy anticipation:

"I... I have something I’d like to ask for your help with..."

In the depths of the Abyss Ninth Layer's magma ocean, Chai Ye pressed on with his grueling self-tempering.

His colossal form withstood scorching heat and crushing pressure that could dissolve mountains.

Every one of his three faces twisted in excruciating torment beyond imagination.

Yet this agony was precisely what he craved.

Extreme trials alone could drive his near-maximal physical prowess to new heights.

Rudely interrupted by Nari, his irritation came as no surprise:

"It’s you again..."

Chai Ye's voice exploded like surging lava before rapidly settling.

She might deliver crucial intel after all, so severing ties completely wasn't wise yet:

"What’s the matter, hurry up and say it."

"It’s... it’s about my darling..."

Nari's voice turned even meeker:

"It’s growing too fast, and my current reserves aren’t enough to feed it..."

She hesitated for a moment, summoning courage to press on:

"You mentioned last time, that if necessary, we could consider expanding my hunting permissions..."

Chai Ye's three minds sprang into action together.

This presented a prime chance indeed.

Broadening Nari's roaming area would surely accelerate the metamorphosis and advancement of that cryptic puppet.

Best of all, the setup demanded virtually no real expenditure from him.

The dragon-headed evil spirit regarded the Stand-In Puppet as his property already.

He, who could deadlock the "Void Spider" Maggs, ranked as the second Supreme Apostle.

What resistance could Nari muster, clueless even about her own domain?

"Oh, so that’s it..."

Chai Ye's manner shifted to "cordial":

"It seems your ’darling’ indeed has potential. However, cross-regional hunting is no small matter..."

He paused on purpose, letting Nari's anxiety fully brew:

"Specifically, where do you want to go?"

"The territory of Blood Tear Duke..."

Nari blurted out eagerly, her words brimming with a little girl's eager yearning:

"I’ve heard there are many rare emotional flowers and pure despair crystals... these can greatly aid my darling’s growth..."

"Also, the territory of Mad Bite, where the quality of mutated prey is high and rich in protein..."

Her fervor built as she went on, avarice without apparent limits:

"Oh, and the dream essence in Nightmare Queen’s realm—I feel my darling might need such special nutrition..."

Chai Ye sneered deep within.

Nari's picks laid bare her essence, zeroing in on the prime resource havens.

"Indeed... quite challenging."

He put on a strained expression:

"You know, Asmond, Mogron, and Selena aren’t easy to deal with, getting them to agree to open hunting permissions..."

"I beg you!"

Tears choked Nari's voice:

"I truly have no other way! I can’t let my darling starve—it’s the most important thing in my life!"

Such raw devotion made Chai Ye knit his brows, rendered somewhat speechless.

Could this really be the doomsday scourge "Eye of the Abyss," who feasted on endless fifth-layer lives at every stirring?

"Alright, alright."

He "grudgingly" yielded at last, his tone laced with indulgence:

"Given that you’ve been so attentive in care, I can step in to coordinate. But you must agree to some conditions."

"What conditions? I’ll agree to everything!"

Nari buzzed with dizzying elation:

"As long as it helps my darling, I’ll accept any conditions!"

"Firstly, you must regularly report to me on the hunting situation and your ’darling’s’ transformation."

Chai Ye's voice grew stern:

"I need to ensure this arrangement hasn’t caused unnecessary issues."

"Secondly, while hunting in other Apostles’ territories, you must remain discreet. Avoid causing conflict, and don’t expose the special nature of your ’darling.’"

"Lastly, if there’s any abnormal change in the situation, you must notify me immediately."

"Alright, alright! I’ve remembered everything!"

Nari vowed in thrilled haste: "I will be careful, and definitely won’t trouble you!"

Communication severed, Chai Ye wasted no time linking with fellow Apostles.

Among the thirteen Supreme Apostles, he commanded sway over Abyss coordination.

Still, coordination rights fell short of outright rule, as each Apostle reigned unchallenged in their realm.

Wielding this power thus called for tact and guile.

His initial outreach targeted "Blood Tear Duke" Asmond.

The crafty youthful Apostle oversaw matters from his blood-red palace.

Ringed by scores of Blood Race kin, lovely women tirelessly tended their forebear.

"Lord Chai Ye?"

Asmond motioned the woman below him to pause, suspicion threading his words:

"You would voluntarily contact me... I’m truly honored..."

He artfully twirled the blood-hued rose clutched in his grip:

"Let me guess... it can’t be anything good."

"It’s about the ’Eye of the Abyss’ Nari’s hunting permissions."

Chai Ye came right out with it:

"She is recently cultivating a special project, requiring more high-quality resources—I hope you can open part of your region for hunting permissions."

"Nari?"

Asmond unleashed a scornful chuckle:

"That wastrel incapable of managing underlings? What special project could she have? Don’t tell me she’s found another ’perfect transformation target.’"
