The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

"Shh-"

When Wendy saw that the lady looked like she was about to call for help, she immediately jumped down and made a "shh" gesture.

"Keep your voice down, you don't want to attract Ember's attention, do you?" Wendy looked around, as if afraid that Ember might jump out from some corner.

Upon hearing this, the woman immediately stopped herself from calling for help. Just as Wendy had said, she was also afraid that the embers would be attracted there.

"Hehe, that's more like it." Wendy relaxed a lot when she saw the lady quiet down.

"What are you doing here?" The woman forced herself to stay alert, keeping a close eye on Wendy's every move.

This might be an opportunity.

"Hmm... just like you thought."

"I've come to deliver the Heart of God!"

Wendy smiled and spread her hands, revealing the dim Heart of God at her waist.

"Bah!"

A gentle breeze blew by, and the Heart of God at Wendy's waist rolled onto the desk.

"Hehe, remember this, I didn't give it to you, you took it yourself." Wendy glanced at the overturned Heart of God on the table, then turned into a gust of wind and disappeared from the Goethe Hotel.

The office fell silent again. The woman rubbed her temples and slowly walked to her desk.

The chaotic feeling brought on by the burning madness intertwined with the doubts about Wendy leaving behind the Heart of God, impacting her mind.

The woman picked up the dim Heart of God from the table, and in her eyes, several double images flickered within it.

She had just been worrying about how to obtain Wendy's Heart of God, but now it was already in her hands. It felt like a dream.

"Phew... I can finally leave this awful place!" The woman breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it was indeed the Heart of God.

The mission was complete, and she could finally leave Mondstadt, the place that had brought her so much sorrow.

In all these years, no mission has ever made the lady so mentally exhausted. It's all because of that guy, Ember.

The thought of Ember in this city made the woman's heart tighten, and she became much more restrained in her actions.

Without the Ember, given the lady's personality, she would definitely have found a secluded spot and snatched Venti's Divine Heart directly. Why would she be having such a headache as before?

But now all of that is over. The woman held Wendy's Heart of God, a sense of unease creeping into her heart.

"I took it myself... what do you mean?"

The woman looked out at the darkness, her groggy head already protesting. So she temporarily put aside her doubts and began preparing to leave Mondstadt.

……

Early in the morning, Yu Jin sat in the courtyard with his legs crossed, looking completely idle.

He wasn't really doing nothing; he was just waiting for Lance Sanx to return.

Soon, with a creak, Lance Sanx's dragon horn reached into the courtyard first.

"Finally back? Come here, something's up!" When Ember saw Lance Sanx return, he immediately got up and pulled her inside.

"Ah—, Your Majesty, what is it?" Lance Sanx yawned, looking like he hadn't slept well.

"Huh? What did you and Dvalin do last night?" Ember kicked away what he was about to do and immediately became concerned about Lance Sanx and Dvalin.

Lance Sanx felt the curious gaze coming from the Ember Helmet and immediately looked helpless.

"Your Majesty, what are you thinking? Last night I just watched Dvalin breathe fire all night and chatted for a while. That's all. I didn't do anything else."

"What? A man and a woman spending the night together and doing this?" Ember exclaimed in disappointment when he heard that Lance Sanx and Dvalin had spent the whole night just breathing fire.

"No, one night isn't enough," Lance Sanks muttered under his breath. Dragons are incredibly resilient in that area; one night really isn't enough.

"What did you say?" Ember picked at his ear, pretending not to hear, and asked Lance Sanx.

One night wasn't enough? That's enlightening.

"Nothing much, but Your Majesty, what brings you here?" Lance Sank chuckled awkwardly; after all, she was a lady. How could a lady discuss such matters?

Ember shook his head with some regret. It seemed that Lance Sanx was quite shy. He had originally thought he would be able to learn more about this topic!

However, he quickly adjusted his mindset and said to Lance Sanx, "Stretch out your hand and let the blood flow."

As he spoke, Yu Jin pulled out a large basin from somewhere and placed it on the ground.

"Why bleed?" Lance Sanx squatted down naturally and put his hand into the basin.

She maintained her human form with one hand, while revealing a dragon claw with the other. The sharp dragon claw lightly grazed her fair, jade-like arm, leaving a gruesome wound.

Bright red dragon blood flowed from the wound, forming a bloodline on Lance Sanx's slender fingertips and in the basin.

"Of course, it's to fertilize the golden tree!" Yu Jin said, squatting down as well. He even stirred it up with a branch.

Blood gushed forth, and the heavy aura hidden deep within the ancient dragon's bloodline assaulted the senses. Though it was merely a pool of blood, it felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, making it hard to breathe.

"Fertilize the Golden Tree?" Lance Sanks squeezed his wound, then pursed his lips and said, "Your Majesty, are you kidding me? Fertilizing the Golden Tree wouldn't be enough for it, even if you buried me!"

Lance Sanx recalled the towering golden tree, which had grown by absorbing the flesh and blood of most of the creatures in the borderlands.

Moreover, it was the kind of thing that was consumed multiple times. Thanks to the Tree of Return system, a person protected by the Golden Law will enter reincarnation after death, and their physical body will be absorbed by the Golden Tree.

During the height of the Golden Dynasty, this cycle of reincarnation went through countless cycles before the Golden Tree achieved its splendor and immense size.

Now, Ember only wants to use her blood as fertilizer for the Golden Tree. Does this mean Ember overestimates her, or that he underestimates the Golden Tree?

"It's just its initial nourishment. I'm worried it won't adapt well to the new environment, so I'm giving it some of its favorite foods to help it recover."

Ember waved his hand; he actually hoped the Golden Tree would devour the forbidden knowledge that eroded the earth's veins.

There's quite a lot of forbidden knowledge in that section, and Yu Jin is worried that the Golden Tree is too small to handle it. So he's thinking of nurturing it first, lest the sheer volume of forbidden knowledge overwhelms it and kills it.

"That won't do either. The Golden Tree has a huge appetite. My little bit of blood isn't even enough to fill its teeth." Lance Sanx saw that the basin was full, so he loosened the restriction on the bloodline power.

The ancient dragon's bloodline power activated, and pieces of rock-like scabs formed on Lance Sanx's wounds, only to fall off quickly.

By the time the scab had completely fallen off, Lance Sanx's horrific wound had healed completely.

Ancient dragons aren't particularly strong in the borderlands, but Lance Sanx's wounds were just too small.

Although it looks scary, that's only true on a human. If it were transformed into a dragon, such a wound would be completely undetectable without close inspection.

"Give it a try. If it doesn't work, just drain the blood from everyone else too," Yu Jin said casually.

He thought the blood of the Fools was good enough, and if it wasn't, he would let them go.

"Besides, the Golden Tree doesn't just eat flesh and blood; it can also eat some things from this world." Yu Jin put away the basin, stood up, and looked in the direction of the snow mountain.

That place possesses the power of both the sky and the earth. Planting the golden tree there will eliminate any worries about its nutrient supply.

In its seedling stage, it can be nourished by fresh blood and the power of snow; during its growth stage, it can deeply penetrate the earth to absorb massive amounts of pollution from the earth's veins; as for the fully grown stage...

Ember believed that Teyvat should not be able to cultivate a fully formed Golden Tree, as a fully formed Golden Tree requires not only nutrients but also corresponding laws.

Teyvat doesn't even have a Law Ring, it only has the Law of Der.

"Alright, everything's ready! Let's bleed him out!" As Ember spoke, he pulled Lance Sanx out.

……

"Achoo!" The woman sneezed suddenly, and a chill ran down her spine for no apparent reason.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! Pack your things and get out of here! There's no need to stay in Mondstadt any longer!" The lady urged, looking at the busy Fools in the hotel.

"understand!"

"What a rush! Has headquarters issued some new mission? Why did they leave so quickly?"

"Enough with the nonsense, or you'll get a taste of the lady's big pussy!"

……

Seeing the even busier crowd of fools, the woman felt a sense of relief. Because after her urging, that inexplicable chill seemed, perhaps... to have disappeared.

Chapter 197 Humph! Want to escape?

2023-09-27

"Reporting, Madam! All supplies have been organized and we can evacuate now!" In the lobby of the Goethe Hotel, a debt collector was reporting the status of the base's supplies to the lady.

With the lady's constant urging, they finally finished sorting the massive amount of supplies in less than half the usual time.

"Alright, let's not delay, let's set off now!" The woman nodded and then prepared to draw the assembly signal to evacuate Mondstadt.

However, suddenly, that inexplicable palpitation reappeared in the woman's heart.

"Bang!" The hotel door was kicked open violently, the force of which seemed to make the ground tremble a few times.

"Damn it, Lance Sanx, why are you using so much force? Be careful the door breaks or I'll sell you to pay them back." A familiar voice came from afar.

The woman stared stiffly toward the door and saw Ember closing it, and Lance Sanx scratching his head awkwardly beside him.

"Weren't we here to cause trouble? Why are we being so polite?" Lance Sanks looked at Ember as he carefully closed the door, puzzled.

"Pah! Who said we're here to cause trouble?" Yu Jin raised his hand to stop Lance Sanx's nonsense.

He was clearly there to do charity work, so why does Lance Sanx talk about him like he's a gangster?

"Enemy attack!" The debt collector shouted as he saw two strange strangers suddenly burst in.

In an instant, the entire Goethe Hotel became lively. Countless footsteps came from upstairs, accompanied by urgent urgings from time to time.

The lobby of the Goethe Hotel was very spacious and grand. In fact, before the arrival of the Fools, the Goethe Hotel was the best place for Mondstadt's upper class to hold banquets.

Soon, the spacious hall became crowded. The Fools soldiers were either rushing in from upstairs or were already in the hall organizing supplies.

They were all now crowding around the lady, watching Ember and Lance Sanx warily.

"Are they preparing to leave?" Yu Jin reached out and touched the supplies wrapped in tarpaulin not far away.

Judging from the feel, it should be something like a rolled-up tent. Under normal circumstances, these are unnecessary.

"No one is to act rashly without my order," the woman's cool voice echoed in the hall. The Fools then parted to make way for her, and she stepped out.
