The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

Their masterpieces are "The Basics of Shining Stone Magic" and "A New Compilation of Prayers for Hunting Gods".

These two books greatly simplify the learning of magic and prayer. Even someone like Cole, who has no magic or prayer skills from another world, can get started by reading the translation by Ember.

As for Galura, she was just stupid.

"Brother Yu Jin, is there anything easier? This is too difficult!" Looking at Galura, who was pleading with him, Yu Jin could only search his distant memories.

Then he thought of miracles.

Miracles are the great deeds of the ancient gods. To learn about miracles is to learn about the deeds of the ancient gods.

The more one believes in the recorded miracles, the greater the power they unleash. This is most suitable for a fool like Galura.

Ember took out pages of yellowed paper, on which were depictions of the glory of the Age of Fire.

Ember reached out and stroked the papers. Although the age of fire had ended and he had killed the ancient gods one by one, the emotion and shock brought to him by these miracles seemed to be right before his eyes.

Therefore, he is now also a miracle worker.

“Here, read these stories. The more you believe, the more powerful they will be.” Ember pushed the yellowed papers to Galura.

Galura had never seen Ember look like that before. For a moment, she suddenly felt that Ember had become an old man on his deathbed, reluctantly reminiscing about his youth.

She carefully accepted the papers and nodded emphatically to Yu Jin, saying, "Don't worry, Brother Yu Jin, I won't let you down."

Seeing Galura's cautious demeanor, Yu Jin couldn't help but find it amusing. He said:

“I’m not that fragile. Instead of worrying about me, you should worry about yourself. If you can’t even learn how to create miracles, then you’re really a fool.”

Then, as if remembering something, he warned Galura:

"The deeds of the ancient gods are indeed inspiring. But remember, those are things of the past. Learning about miracles is not about becoming a remnant of the old era, but about becoming someone who creates miracles!"

"The one who creates miracles?" Galuro looked at the embers and smiled confidently.

"I will, Brother Ember."

Yu Jin nodded. With such awareness, his teachings were worthwhile.

Then he started reading the Teyvat Travel Guide in his hand. It was a very good book, but unfortunately it only contained the Mondstadt section.

With an intelligence level far exceeding 99, Yu Jin could typically spend no more than ten minutes reading these books.

He still has many unanswered questions, such as how Hilichurls transform from humans into monsters, what the Evil Eye is, what the Eye of God is, and why he always feels like someone is watching him from the sky.

It seems like a strange question has been thrown in, but that might just be his imagination.

In short, Ember has many problems, it seems I need to go to the library.

Acting on his thought, Ember stood up and said to Galuro and Cole:

"I'm going to the library. I'll be back in the evening. I'll take care of my own dinner and everything else."

"Oh."

"Bye-Bye."

Galuro and Cora didn't even look up, it seems they've moved on from the past and are no longer so dependent on him.

Stepping outside, the sun was shining brightly.

Mondstadt is bustling as usual today, but this bustling atmosphere is somewhat unusual.

"Have you heard? The Fools let the culprit from the Black Fire case escape!"

"Oh? I thought they were so capable, but I didn't expect they couldn't even keep an eye on a criminal."

"Let me tell you, it seems the Fools suffered heavy losses, and Winterfell has sent a new group of people to Mondstadt!"

"What was the new CEO's name again? I think it was something like 'Madam'!"

……

Yu Jin's ears twitched. A new executor? This was a big deal. He hoped the new executor would be polite. Otherwise, Yu Jin would have to invite her to dinner and have a heart-to-heart talk.

Having lived here for some time, Ember had a pretty good grasp of Mondstadt's layout, so finding the library wasn't difficult for him.

Mondstadt's library is located inside the Knights of Favonius building and is open to everyone.

After explaining his purpose to the knight standing next to the Knights' Order building, Ember entered the building.

Pushing open a large door in the lobby, a two-story library appeared before Ember's eyes. It was hard to imagine that there was such a large space inside the Knights' Building.

The library was not short of people; Ember hadn't arrived early, and many places in the library were already occupied.

After casually finding an empty spot to sit down, Yu Jin began his learning journey.

The books on the table gradually decreased, and time passed little by little, but the doubts in Yu Jin's heart did not decrease; on the contrary, they increased.

The books he read were mostly folk tales or poems by bards, which didn't seem strange at all.

However, Yu Jin still saw the problem. Putting aside the war between the demons and gods thousands of years ago, it seems that something big happened five hundred years ago.

All the books avoided mentioning that matter, at most mentioning it vaguely.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!" Yu Jin was the only one in the library late at night, so he started banging on the table without any hesitation.

"Forget it, some things are more interesting to discover for yourself." Yu Jin stopped tapping his fingers on the table, feeling rather bored.

"I didn't realize Mr. Yu Jin was such a book lover!" A languid and charming voice came from the second floor.

Yu Jin looked up and saw a beautiful woman leaning against the railing.

Wearing an enormous witch's hat, a pale purple dress, and black stockings that reached all the way to the top of her thighs, she exuded both intellect and sensuality—it was none other than Lisa, the librarian.

"Since you're new here, read more books to avoid making a fool of yourself," Yu Jin replied casually.

Lisa is indeed beautiful, but unfortunately Ember has no concept of that; all he knows is whether someone is male or female.

"Really?" Lisa's eyebrows twitched. She had heard Kaiya mention Yu Jin several times in the past few days, and seeing Yu Jin in the library today, she was particularly eager to see him.

Lisa couldn't believe that someone who could earn Kaia's praise was someone who would make a fool of himself.

But she was wrong. Ember was capable of making a fool of himself, and he enjoyed it.

Lisa walked down from the second floor, came to the opposite side of Ember, and casually picked up a book he was reading and started flipping through it.

Lisa frowned. This was just an ordinary aria; in Mondstadt, a place teeming with bards, there were countless books like this.

But seeing that Ember was still watching with great interest, Lisa could only attribute it to his hobby.

"Mr. Ember, how is your first visit to Mondstadt?" Lisa initiated the conversation.

“Excellent! I’ve never seen such a vibrant city!” Ember exclaimed without reservation when talking about Mondstadt.

The same is true.

Hearing Ember's praise of Mondstadt, Lisa felt happy too. As someone who cared deeply for Mondstadt, she enjoyed hearing praise for him.

"Mr. Ember, you've read so many books, do you have any questions? Maybe I can help you in some way," Lisa asked Ember. She had read at least 80% of the books here, if not 100%.

As a genius witch who appears only once every two hundred years, Lisa is quite confident in her knowledge.

"Questions? Forget it, exploring the unknown is a rare kind of fun." Yu Jin shook his head with a smile.

“Exploring the unknown? That's… well, a beginner's thought.” Lisa sighed, remembering something.

"Knowledge can bring disaster."

“Intelligent people always think more deeply. Beneath the deep sea lies both the abyss and the sky. At least, I have seen the sky.”

"And you, you are still trapped in the deep sea."

Yu Jin gave Lisa a meaningful look and said calmly.

Chapter 14 The Witch Who Fears Knowledge

2023-08-28

It feels so good to show off!

Yu Jin remained deep in thought, but his mind had somehow wandered off somewhere else.

"What do you mean by that!" Lisa could no longer remain calm. She stood up from her chair, her bright eyes now filled with shock.

A deep-seated fear of knowledge was ingrained in Lisa's heart, which puzzled many people. But Lisa knew that those people's knowledge was far less than hers, so they naturally wouldn't know what she was afraid of.

As she herself just said, the price of pursuing knowledge is often unimaginable. This was true for the Red King, and it was also true for Kanria five hundred years ago.

"Abyss... Sky... Beneath the abyss lies the sky? What does that mean? Tell me!"

Lisa reached out and placed her hands on Ember's shoulders, looking at him with a pleading expression.

Yu Jin was startled by Lisa's commotion. He had just been talking nonsense, but he didn't expect her to actually guess right.

After thinking for a moment, Yu Jin decided that he could only try to gloss over the situation for now.

He looked at Lisa and said, "Weren't you afraid of knowledge? Why are you curious now?"

Lisa's face stiffened upon hearing this. She looked warily at a small door in the distance of the library and then carefully examined her own thoughts.

"Phew!" Lisa exhaled and patted her chest. Exploring the origins of the world always attracts forbidden beings.

Fortunately, the discussion just now was only superficial, and everything is still normal.

Then she saw Ember's face getting very close to hers.

"Wow, it's huge!" Yu Jin exclaimed in surprise. This was the first time he had ever seen something that could shake.

"Oh? Mr. Ember has this kind of hobby?" Lisa couldn't help but laugh when she saw Ember staring at her.

"No, it's just that I'm curious because it's the first time I've seen something that can shake," Yu Jin said calmly and without any embarrassment.

"Does this make it clearer?" Lisa actually pulled the embers into her arms!

"Wow! You...you...you..." Now it was Yu Jin's turn to jump up and down.

【Wood, Lani, Lianlian, your king has been defiled!】Ember kept wiping his helmet with his hands, as if there was something dirty on it.

"?" Lisa found Yu Jin's flustered appearance quite amusing. Someone as powerful and learned as Yu Jin was actually so... well, so innocent.

[It seems I've discovered a weakness in Mr. Ember.] Lisa felt a little smug, then covered her mouth and chuckled:

"I'm just paying Mr. Yu Jin for helping me with my questions. As a librarian, I have no money or power, so this is all I can do."

After saying that, Lisa innocently shrugged.
