King Ember's Journey to Tevat

Chapter 853 Treating a dragon? Treating people!
"What a coincidence." Sitting by the campfire, Yu Jin winked at Kong who came from afar, although he certainly couldn't see it.

"..."

Kong silently looked at Yu Jin who was sitting on the ground. Why did he always see him in such strange places?
Although this place can really be called the ruins of Kanreya, it is on the edge of the edge, close to the border of Kanreya.

And why is there a strange dragon beside him this time?
Kong looked at Durin who was lying on the ground. This dragon was very small, not even as big as an ancient rock dragon lizard. He even suspected that this guy was a mutated adult dragon lizard.

Durin's white scales reflected the firelight, making Kong feel a little blinded, so he became more determined in his decision.

Kong was observing Du Lin, and Du Lin was also observing him, but since neither of them spoke, they were observing in solitude.

"Brother Yu Jin, who is he?"

Du Lin spoke with a young boy's voice, and because it was not fully developed, it even sounded a bit like a female voice.

"The Riddler's friend. Oh, and he's also a Riddler himself."

"Would you like to sit down?"

Yu Jin looked up at Kong and made room for him. Kong looked around and sat down on the ground.

Seeing that Kong didn't say anything and he had other things to do, Yu Jin ignored him.

"Stretch out your claws, let me see." Yu Jin stretched out a hand to Durin, and Durin obediently put his dragon claws on it.

Although Durin's body size has become much smaller, even so, his claws are still half the size of Cinder's body, and his dragon fingers alone are almost as long as his forearm.

Yu Jin touched Durin's claws and asked him:
"You mean you suddenly felt weak the other day? And had cramps?"

"That was about it. My thighs were bulging out and concave, and it was painful."

Du Lin said with a trembling heart, his bright eyes revealing uncontrollable fear.

Is this what it feels like to be "sick"? It is indeed uncomfortable. No wonder illness has always been a bad symbol for humans.

Du Lin thought so in his heart, but according to Yu Jin's inspection, this kid was completely fine.

"I think you're fine. Are you afraid of the dark and you deliberately scared me down?" Yu Jin looked at Du Lin and asked suspiciously.

Du Lin has always been childish in nature, and he is indeed very motivated to do so.

"Absolutely not. I'm not afraid of the dark, but I'm afraid of..."

"What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid I'll die of illness."

Du Lin spoke in a low voice, as if he was embarrassed. But he really felt that way when he "sickened" a few days ago.

The first time he faced that inexplicable feeling of powerlessness and severe pain, he was extremely scared.

"No, you are a dragon. I have never heard of a dragon dying of illness. What are you afraid of?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Jin felt that Durin was worrying too much. There were very few diseases that could penetrate a dragon's flesh, and those that could cause death were unheard of - curses like corruption that were disguised as diseases did not count.

But then he thought, the dragons in Teyvat are different from the dragons in the border areas. Maybe there really is some disease that is specifically targeting dragons?

So he waved his hand at Du Lin and said comfortingly: "Forget it, I can't say for sure. I'll go back and check the information and show it to you."

When Du Lin heard this, he shrank his head, shook his head and whispered, "Don't bother with that. Maybe he just stepped on some sharp rocks."

Just as he was about to lie down on the ground and have a good rest, he suddenly heard the voice of an acquaintance.

"Du Lin, I'm going to go out for a while."

"Sister Figg, you don't have to tell me."

Du Lin responded to the voice in his ear in his heart. Outside, Kong was surprised to see Du Lin's white body begin to become translucent.

Then, his body shrank and a ball of firefly-like light separated from Du Lin.

The ball of light changed, and a figure walked out from the light.

"Snapped!"

"It's coming!"

Yu Jin kicked the burning stick far away. If he hadn't been smart, Kong's drooping scarf would have been set on fire. But even so, Kong still looked stupid and dumb, as if he had lost his soul.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Love at first sight?"

Yu Jin felt it was magical, so he poked his cheek, and Kong finally reacted. He instantly stood up from the ground, pointed at Fig in the light and said incoherently:

"You care for you..."

"Huh? What's wrong with me?"

Fig looked at the strange man in front of him with a puzzled look.

"It's very rude to point at other people like this. I'll talk to Ying and tell her that her brother and the Abyss Cult don't learn any good things every day, but only do a lot of bad things."

Yu Jin pressed down Kong's arm and said half-jokingly. When Kong heard "Ying", he shuddered.

"No, I just lost my temper, you guys continue chatting and just pretend I don't exist."

As Kong said this, he retreated again. However, he still glanced at Figg from time to time, which made the latter feel a little uncomfortable.

He certainly had his reasons for losing his composure. Fig didn't know Kong, but Kong knew Fig - in the memory of the earth veins.

She was the first object that Sora wanted to weave, but failed for unknown reasons.

Suppressing the shock and confusion in his heart, Kong listened quietly to her conversation with Yu Jin, hoping to find some clues from it.

"What shall I call you?"

"Don't I have a name?"

Yu Jin spread his hands. What kind of question is this?
"Well, Lord Ember." Fig paused, she looked back at the drowsy Durin, and continued:
"Thank you for coming here. Actually, the 'disease' that Du Lin mentioned before is just my abnormality."

"Sister Figg? What's wrong with you?"

When Du Lin heard what Figg said, his eyes widened. After walking the same path again, his body shrank a lot. What he had taken away was now back again.

But no matter what, the world can never be what it was before Du Lin came. Time has changed too many things. Some people found new hope and motivation, and then they moved on.

But some people couldn't find a reason to go down, so they followed Du Lin here.

Most of them were people from Kanreya. After learning that their homeland had disappeared in time and the remaining people were nowhere to be found, they had nowhere to go so they gathered together.

Obviously, Fig is one of them. Everything in her past has disappeared in time. Not to mention people, even abstract things such as familiar knowledge, habits, and culture are the same.

So she decided to travel with Du Lin - until she found a reason to go on alone.

Therefore, for Du Lin now, Figg is not only the person he needs to atone for his sins and move forward, but also his travel partner and a good friend he never had before.

"Where do you feel uncomfortable?" Yu Jin asked as he looked around.

After hearing this, Fig thought carefully for a while, and then said uncertainly: "Du Lin's previous feeling was caused by someone wanting to replace me."

"Ok?"

Ember lowered his arm. This was no joke. Someone had to replace Figg, and that was a big problem.

"Someone wants to replace Sister Figg?!"

Du Lin straightened up instantly, shocked and angry at the same time. Logically speaking, Figg was already dead, who would hold on to a dead person who had been dead for hundreds of years?

"Hahaha, don't be so nervous. I can feel that the 'I' has disappeared."

Seeing Du Lin so excited, Fig couldn't help but comfort him.

But before Du Lin could speak, another voice came from his body:

"No, it's not disappearing, it's merging with you."

"You said so, Sora."

The light surged, and Sora saw the lifeless face from before. But this time, the face was extremely vivid.
