The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

"My lord, if it weren't for the deep respect I have for you, I would have definitely fought with you just now," Lance Sanks said to Ember with a forced smile, looking at the mess on the ground in front of him.

"Thank you, but I helped you back then for this very reason." Yu Jin showed no remorse whatsoever, as if he hadn't caused the mess.

As soon as Ember finished speaking, a shadow flashed across the sky. Immediately afterward, the earth trembled, as if some enormous object had fallen to the ground.

Ember leaped and, through the densely packed houses, saw Dvalin clinging to the city wall.

At this moment, he stood on his two feet, his dragon claws gripping the walls of Mondstadt, his enormous dragon head still reaching inside.

"Looking for you, Lance Sanx." Ember immediately lost interest; it seemed Dvalin had grown quite bold.

He used to always avoid human settlements, but now he dares to directly breach Mondstadt's walls. It's truly remarkable how much he's changed since we last met.

"Okay! Got it." Lance Sanx dusted off his hands and leaped into the air with a "whoosh."

Then, another huge shadow appeared in the sky above Mondstadt, carrying Dvalin, who was outside Mondstadt, away into the distance.

"Oh my, how wonderful! May you two lovers become siblings!" Yu Jin looked at the two giant dragons flying in the sky and uttered the curse of being single.

There's no need for curses; Lance Sanx basically treats Dvalin like a little brother. As for Dvalin, he probably doesn't even know what he's thinking.

"Now, I should go out too!" Yu Jin composed himself and said, looking at the still relatively intact front door of the house.

The adventurer Ember is about to embark on another adventure!

Chapter 219 A Strange Request

2023-10-08

"Catherine, the commission is complete!" At the Adventurers' Guild's front desk, Ember slammed a stack of completed commission forms onto the counter.

"Oh? It seems Mr. Ember is still as capable as ever." Catherine said to Ember with a smile as she tidied up the commission forms on the table.

Since Ember joined the Adventurers' Guild, the number of commissions he has completed has increased rapidly.

By now, Ember's completed quests were the most numerous in the Mondstadt region. As for comparisons with other countries, Catherine consulted the database and nodded.

Yes, the same goes for other countries.

It's all because Ember is too abnormal. Apart from the first few days when he was getting used to it, Ember would take on stacks and stacks of commissions after that, and the key is that he could always complete them within the allotted time.

"This time... is it the same as before?" Catherine carefully put away a stack of commission forms and placed them in the archives behind her.

"Same here." Yu Jin waved his hand dismissively. His commission fees were all saved up in the Adventurers' Guild, and he could just come and collect them whenever he needed them.

However, it seems that this money hasn't been touched much.

"By the way, how's the other Catherine doing? Is she alright?" Ember looked at Catherine and suddenly thought of the other Catherine.

It's been a long time since I've seen her.

“Thanks to Mr. Ember, she’s out adventuring every day now. Because of that, everyone has seen a lot of scenery they’d never seen before.” Catherine smiled as she recalled the magnificent landscapes from her memory.

The memories of the Catherines are shared; if one goes on an adventure, the other Catherines will feel the same way.

This feeling of running wildly between heaven and earth was something they had never experienced before.

"Heh, looks like you're doing well, that puts my mind at ease." Yu Jin nodded, then asked Catherine, "Catherine, bring me the commission!"

With nothing to do, Yu Jin always felt bored.

“Mr. Ember is really hardworking.” Catherine shook her head, as if she was used to it.

She turned around, searched through the filing cabinet behind her, and pulled out a brand new power of attorney.

"This was just delivered this morning. I remember there was an incident of a wolf pack attacking people in Qingquan Town, so I hope someone can go and investigate."

Catherine handed the scroll to Ember, and also briefly explained the contents of the commission.

"Hmm? Clear Spring Town? Doesn't that town rely on hunting for a living? Even if they're attacked by wolves, they should be able to handle it themselves, right?"

Yu Jin took the letter of commission and glanced at it briefly. He then asked Catherine with a puzzled look.

There are quite a few skilled hunters in Qingquan Town, so how could they be attacked by wolves? And even if they were attacked by wolves, they should be able to handle it themselves.

Even if all else fails, there's always a spring nearby. While the spring's combat abilities aren't particularly strong, its support capabilities are quite impressive.

There's definitely something fishy going on!

Ember unfolded the commission form again and began to examine it closely.

Hmm? You need to understand animal language, and specifically, you need to be able to howl like a wolf.

Is this about communicating with wolves? Yu Jin looked at the information on the commission form, his doubts growing. However, he quickly put the form away and prepared to set off.

Although Ember can't howl like a wolf, he can make wolves speak human language. That's much better than what's stated on the request!

"Bye-bye, Catherine!" Ember waved to Catherine and then disappeared from her sight in a flash.

……

After crossing the bridge in Mondstadt, continue for a short distance until you reach a fork in the road. Turning left leads to Whispering Woods, turning right leads to Springvale, and turning forward leads to Windrise.

Ember stood motionless at the fork in the road. He saw someone familiar again.

"senior?!"

"ember?"

Wow! A real knight!

Ember looked closely and saw that it was Ying and Paimon, whom he had separated from not long ago. But why did they have a little follower now?

Ember glanced at the little red-eyed girl behind Paimon and Ying, who were shining with excitement, and thought that the two of them were quite good at coaxing children.

"You...you're the great adventurer Ember that everyone's been talking about?" Klee jumped out from behind Luminous and Paimon, asking excitedly.

Klee had heard of Ember's reputation even while in confinement. But the reason Klee was so excited wasn't just because of the Great Adventurer.

A great adventurer, right? Mom must be one too, right? Thinking of this, a glimmer of hope appeared on Klee's face.

"Brother Yu Jin, do you...do you know where my mother is?"

"Your mother? Little one, who is your mother? Tell me. Although I don't know where she is, I might be able to help you find her."

Ember looked at Keli. He didn't even know this little guy. How could he help him find his mother?

“Is that so? Thank you, Brother Ember. My mother is Alice, and I am Klee.”

"Mom and Ember are both great adventurers. If you ever run into Mom on your adventures, please say hello for me and tell her that Klee is having a great time with the Knights of Favonius!"

Klee's big eyes dimmed instantly upon hearing Ember's words. But she quickly regained her energy.

No sadness lingers on Klee for even a second.

"Alice? That one who's always causing trouble?" Yu Jin touched his hands together and immediately realized what she meant.

Alice has a notorious reputation; she's done a lot of outrageous things.

Unlike him, as Yu, the great adventurer, senior, and kind-hearted Jin, his reputation in the association is much better than Alice's.

"Trouble? What's that? But Mom will teach Klee how to make a big bomb!" Klee scratched her head. She didn't understand much of what Ember said, but that didn't diminish her love and respect for her mother.

"Okay... alright!" Ember paused for a moment when he saw Klee, who was unusually excited about the bomb.

It's no wonder she's Alice; she taught her daughter how to make bombs when she was so young.

However, Ember glanced at the fiery red Eye of God on Klee's backpack and stopped caring about these "minor" issues.

Those who possess the Eye of God have far superior physical attributes and elemental resistance compared to ordinary people.

Klee is also the owner of the Eye of Vulcan, so ordinary bombs probably wouldn't be able to hurt her.

"So, Klee, Luminous, and Paimon, what are you doing here?" Ember asked curiously, looking at the three little ones, one big and two small.

"We're here to help Klee find her lost treasure!" Paimon said smugly, waving his hand.

Klee just affirmed her and Luminous's contributions, even though they didn't do anything during the Dragon Disaster, they still gained everyone's recognition.

So Paimon is still basking in the excitement of being recognized.

"Where is Senior?" Ying looked at Yu Jin, whose hands were empty, and was equally curious. She really wanted to know what someone like Yu Jin did all day.

“Me?” Yu Jin cleared his throat, recalling the contents of the letter of authorization.

"Ouch——"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Seeing Ember raise his head and howl like a ghost, the three little ones fell silent. Ying and Paimon were alright; they had spent some time with Ember and were mentally prepared for his style of doing things.

But Klee was different. She bit her finger, looking at Ember with a dazed expression. Was the Great Adventurer's language really that hard to understand?

Sometimes her parents are like that too, always saying things she doesn't understand.

"What are you doing?" Paimon asked, looking at Ember with his dead fish eyes.

Now she's gotten smarter. If she sees Yu Jin doing anything illogical, she'll just ask him directly! She doesn't even use her brain to think about it, because she can't figure it out anyway.

"Do I sound like a wolf?"

"What? Isn't that a ghost howl?" Ying blurted out after hearing Yu Jin's words.

The embers suddenly turned grayish-white, and unexpectedly, even the well-behaved Ying started to complain about him.

"Sigh~, never mind, I'll go with you guys to find the treasure." Soon, Yu Jin's body returned to its original color. He waved his hand and said with a sigh.

It seems this request can't be rushed!

Chapter 220 Strange Treasures

2023-10-09

"Klee, where's your treasure? This forest is so big, it'll be hard to find if you don't have a place to look for it." Ember looked at the ground under the shade of the trees and asked Klee, who was hopping around behind him.

Whispering Forest, Whispering Forest. It truly lives up to its name; it looks like a place where ghosts dwell. If you come at night, you might hear some whispering.

"Here it is! We're almost there!" Klee pulled a map covered in doodles from her backpack, with a circle drawn around the location of Whispering Forest. That must be where the treasure was located.

“Indeed, we’re almost there.” Yu Jin glanced around and knew their current location.
