The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

"Will this really work?" The fire mage asked, seeing Ember and Dvalin chatting so enthusiastically.

Is the abyss so easy to expel?

"Don't worry about the details, if I say it's okay, then it's okay!" Ember waved his hand, just as the fire mage had worried.

The erosion of the abyss usually seeps into the essence of life, completely altering its form.

It is almost impossible to eliminate it—unless a force can penetrate into the essence of life and "pluck" out what does not belong to life itself.

Of course, that's just the general case. Now, in addition to Ember, there's also this special little guy, Firefly.

No matter which of them takes action, expelling the abyss's corruption will be a piece of cake.

As for why Ember went to the trouble of having Stormterror and Lance Sanx fight each other.

His main reason was to see how much difference there was between the two world dragons, and he was also very curious about what normal creatures would look like after being corrupted by the abyss.

And most importantly, the time is ripe to hold the Rataen, or rather, the Dvalin Festival!

Rataen (played by Dvalin, who has broken the bloodline of poison), the heroes (played by Lance Sanx, etc.), and Jellian (played by Ember).

The actors are all in place; now we're just waiting for the auspicious day!

When Ember first arrived in Red Lion City, he heard Lord Jellian of Red Lion City shouting about the deeds of Rataen from the high platform.

Ratahn, the strongest demigod. He once sealed the stars. Because of him, the stars ceased to revolve, and because he sealed the stars, those malicious meteors in space no longer descend upon the borderlands.

However, after the Ring of Law was shattered, Rataen and Marlene engaged in a fierce battle in Galid.

Marlenia fell into a coma after releasing the Crimson Corruption, and Rataen was transformed into a beast that only ate corpses.

To give this strongest demigod a grand finale, the Rataen Festival was born.

Jellian's atmosphere was very well done, Ember's blood was boiling, and Rataen was also very fragile.

Anyway, when Ember pinned Rataen down in the water to take a bath, he was in a really bad mood.

Therefore, this special simplified version of the "Ratalun Festival" in Teyvat—also known as the Wind Dragon Festival—was born!

"Warriors! The battle festival begins!" Ember mimicked Jellian's tone, uttering a deep, trembling voice that once again drew everyone's attention.

Chapter 162 The Abyss Quartet

2023-09-11

"???"

"???"

Seeing Ember raising his hands and passionately shouting in a language they couldn't understand, Dvalin and the Abyss Mages fell silent once more.

What is this person doing?

However, Yu Jin stopped after a brief rehearsal, as shouting at the top of his lungs was exhausting.

After resting for a while, Ember turned to look at the Abyss Mages who were still drawing circles on the side.

"Stop drawing, tell me about you guys." Yu Jin stepped forward and erased all the circles they had drawn.

Ember was quite interested in these abyss mages. The fact that they could slack off to this extent made Ember think they were comparable to Victor of the Church of the Westwind.

That guy was a master of slacking off, standing at the entrance of the Cathedral of the West every day. Whenever someone came by, he'd just say, "What is there about Barbatos that you should believe in?" He didn't even know how long he'd been slacking off like that, living a very comfortable life.

"Ah! My painting!" Leifa exclaimed in surprise, but when it looked up and saw the iron boots in front of it, its momentum immediately deflated.

"It is quite ugly," it said weakly, then stood up and went to the fire mage's side. Being with a smart person made it feel safe.

Seeing their "masterpiece" destroyed, the water and ice magic spells also felt it was pointless, so they stood up.

“Speaking of which, you guys seem quite special.” Ember glanced at the four abyss mages standing side by side in red, purple, blue and white, who were as docile as four rabbit spirits.

“Indeed, I can barely get along with them.” Dvalin nodded in agreement. These abyss mages were among the few he could respect.

"How could we not be special? We're the marginal figures of the Order!" The fire mage said this with an inexplicable confidence.

"Clap clap clap!" Ember clapped along, then said, "Continue!"

"Actually, it's just that our personalities don't get along with the other guys, so we're always sent out to do thankless tasks," Ice Mage sighed and said.

The members of the Abyss Order always looked bitter and resentful, as if they had some deep-seated grudge against the world.

In fact, most of the monsters in the Abyss Order thought so. However, these four were an exception.

Hearing the Ice Mage's words, the Fire Mage sighed and said, "That's true. We wake up in a daze, are brought into the Order in a daze, and are sent out to carry out some missions for reasons we don't even know. Anyway, we're always in a daze."

“Yes, yes, many times I don’t even know why the Order does these tasks. But at least there’s scenery to see; the scenery above ground is much better than underground.” Thunder Mage nodded, completely agreeing with Fire Mage.

Compared to the cult's nonsensical missions, the scenery on earth is the real reason they choose to travel far.

"What are you thinking?" Ember glanced around and found that only the Water Mage was looking at his companion silently.

"Me...me?" The Water Mage seemed not to have expected the Ember to point at it and was momentarily speechless.

It scratched its head with its staff and stammered out a few words, "Actually, I just find it more interesting to be with them."

"Wow! How cheesy!" Lei Fa exclaimed. Then it was enveloped by Shui Fa's bubbles.

"No one will think you're mute if you don't speak!" Shui Fa said, somewhat embarrassed and angry.

Yu Jin stroked his chin as he watched the four of them playfully bickering, feeling a deep sense of emotion.

The purest light can be born from the darkest despair; and world-shattering changes can be conceived even in the most stable order.

Things will inevitably turn into their opposites when they reach their extremes; this applies to every world.

"How about these guys?" Ember looked up at Dvalin.

"Just a friend." Dvalin sneered. He never expected that his first friend besides Barbatos would be an abyss mage. What a twist of fate.

Ember smiled and shook his head. "Not a frank guy."

"Do they have names?" Ember asked, looking at the four abyss mages in the distance.

Then Ember saw the heads of the abyss mages shake in a fairly uniform manner.

“Actually, I chose a name myself,” the fire mage said, shaking his head. Then he saw his three companions immediately stop.

That look in his eyes clearly said: Dog, you've changed.

"Tell me about it," Ember said, intrigued. What name would an abyss mage give himself?

"Yuan Shang, the name I gave myself is Yuan Shang." The fire mage raised his head and proudly shouted out his name.

“Yuan Shang?” Yu Jin silently pondered the words of Yuan Shang. A mage from the abyss had given himself the name “Yuan Shang”.

There seems to be something deeper about this. Yu Jin gave Yuan Shang a meaningful look. Of course, he might just be overthinking it.

“Yuan Shang? Why did you choose such a strange name?” Lei Fa looked at Yuan Shang. How could such an intelligent “person” have such a strange name?

Then, as if it had thought of something, Lei Fa's eyes lit up, and it patted its chest and said, "Since you are called Yuan Shang, then I will be called Yuan Xia!"

"I...I am called Yuan Zuo!" When the Water Mage saw that the Thunder Mage had given himself a name, he immediately followed suit and gave himself a name as well.

Ice Mage looked at the dark-faced Yuan Shang, then at the excited Yuan Xia and Yuan Zuo, shook its head helplessly, and then said with a smile, "We already have Yuan Shang, Yuan Zuo, so it seems I'll be called Yuan You!"

"Great, great, great!" Ember applauded sincerely upon seeing this. The Abyss Quartet finally had their own names—a cause for celebration!

As he spoke, Ember came to their side and pulled out a huge pile of thick books from somewhere.

"I remember you all like reading, right? These books are for you!" Ember said as he handed the "bricks" to the Abyss Mages.

Looking at the heavy book in its hands, Yuan Shang wanted to say: Actually, you misunderstood, I don't like reading at all.

However, it didn't say it out loud, because it was, after all, the first gift someone had given it, and it was very meaningful.

After distributing the books, Ember ran to Dvalin's side and pulled out several giant books as well.

That was something Lance Sanker specifically asked him to translate. It was also the reason he came; they were chatting so enthusiastically that he almost forgot about the important matter.

“This is…” Teyvain flipped through it and saw that it was exactly the same as the books he had read before, except that the language had been changed to Teyvat Common.

"Isn't Lance Sanx coming?" Tvalin had only flipped through two pages before turning away and couldn't wait to ask about Lance Sanx's situation.

“She can’t come for now, she has something to do. This is what she asked me to translate,” Yu Jin explained, then said, “Don’t think about her anymore. Focus on getting yourself in good spirits, and you’ll see her again soon!”

Upon hearing Ember's words, Dvalin visibly relaxed. He closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then said, "I can't get enough rest because Durin is crying in my head."

“No problem, leave it to me.” Yu Jin patted his breastplate. Then he opened his arms, and an unparalleled suction force appeared.

Under this suction force, both the Abyss Quartet and Dvalin felt their souls like small boats adrift on a vast ocean. A slight misstep and their souls would plunge into the endless abyss.

Fortunately, the suction force only lasted for a moment and then disappeared. It did not cause any harm to Dvalin and his companions.

When everything calmed down, Dvalin calmed down. The sobbing that had been echoing in his mind had disappeared, and a long-lost peace returned to Dvalin's mind.

"It... well, what do you plan to do with it?" Dvalin looked at the embers, realizing that the soul that resembled Dulin's should have been taken away by him.

"Don't worry, it's just sending him back to where he was born." Ember waved his hand mysteriously, leaving Dvalin completely confused.

Isn't Dulin from Kanria? How do we send him back?

But when Dvarin turned his head, he saw the perfectly intact platform, and he tilted his head and thought for a while.

It seems that it might actually be possible?

Chapter 163 Traitor

2023-09-11

"Take these books, I'll be testing you on them later." At the entrance to the Wind Dragon Ruins, Ember, like a teacher, held the short hands of four Abyss Mages one by one. At their feet were stacks of heavy books.

Yuan Shang casually opened a book and immediately felt dizzy. This feeling of being almost drowned in knowledge was something he had never experienced before in all these years.

Yuan Shang looked around and then saw that Dvalin was looking at his giant stone book with great interest, looking like a good student who loved learning.

"Why didn't you test him!" Yuan Shang pointed angrily at Tvalin, tears welling up in his eyes. This pain shouldn't be borne by just the four of them!

"Bang bang bang!" Yu Jin tapped Yuan Shang's head twice. "Are you as good as him? If you don't learn more, you won't even know how you died!"

Yuan Shang covered his head, wanting to refute but unable to say anything. He had just glanced at it a few times, and although he didn't understand the contents, he could tell that they were things similar to magic.

Moreover, it was magic it had never seen before.

"Th...thank you." Yuan Shang nodded gratefully to Yu Jin. They were originally marginal figures within the cult, with limited ways to improve their strength, and the Abyss Cult was the kind of organization that traveled all over the world.
