The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

A casual remark dealt Wendy a severe blow.

"Okay... alright, I'll go get some bricks now." Wendy's voice suddenly weakened. He walked dejectedly towards the pile of bricks not far away and began building a wall with the enthusiastic Bennett.

It’s good to have money.

Eileen was whittling wood, Fischl and Oz were sprucing wood, Catherine was giving instructions, and Kaia, Wendy, and Bennett were moving bricks and building walls.

As for Diluc? He's watching to see if Wendy is slacking off.

Thanks to everyone's efforts, a brand new house is rising from the ruins of No. 34 Windmill Street at a speed visible to the naked eye.

……

"I will definitely come back..."

"Ding!"

Yu Jin looked at the cross-shaped flash that suddenly appeared in the distant sky and nodded in satisfaction.

It seems this experiment was a success. When will we go to the headquarters of the Abyss Order and launch them into space one by one?

In this way, the Abyss Order's goal of ascending to the heavens will be achieved, and presumably they will be able to quiet down a bit then.

But did that abyss mage just say something?

Yu Jin stroked his chin, then nodded, undoubtedly to thank him! After all, this was a new type of aerospace technology that he had been thinking about for a long time, and the first test was a great success!

"Wow, that's amazing! What was that Ember holding just now? Klee wants to learn!" Klee's eyes lit up as she rushed to Ember's side after seeing the flames disappear in the sky.

She found something even more powerful than a bouncing bomb.

"Want to learn?" Yu Jin scratched the back of his head, looking at the excited Klee bouncing around in front of him, and took out a "brick".

"Little Keli, don't say your brother Ember didn't teach you. Look at the words on this, how many do you recognize?"

Ember handed the heavy book of giant prayers to Klee. Judging from Klee's age, she probably couldn't even read all the words.

Learning to pray is a bit difficult.

But Klee didn't care about any of that. She picked up the fiery red Giant Flame Prayer Book and eagerly began to read it.

Ying and Paimon, who were standing nearby, also curiously stuck their heads over.

Then, three pairs of mosquito coil eyes appeared in front of Yu Jin's eyes.

"What...what is all this? I don't understand it at all."

"Klee... Klee, there are so many little ducks in front of you..."

"Uh... a one-handed sword suits me better."

The three, stunned by the knowledge, reacted in different ways. But Klee quickly recovered, closed the Giant's Prayer Book, returned it to Ember, and said with unwavering determination:

"Klee won't give up! Klee's going to study from now on! Once Klee can recognize all the words, Brother Ember will teach me again!"

"Good, good, good!" Yu Jin clapped his hands immediately. What an ambitious child! He would definitely teach him more when the time came.

Klee can learn whatever she wants, whether it's the remnants of a nurturing environment, the flames of an evil god, or boiling chaos.

"Paimon, hurry up and learn from Klee. You should learn some self-defense skills too," Ying said to Paimon, who remained unresponsive, seeing how motivated Klee was.

"No—, I have you here! Hehe!" Paimon refused decisively; she had no intention of studying.

Since following Ying, Paimon has no idea how he survived before Ying came along.

"Sigh~" Ying covered her face. Paimon did not disappoint her.

But that's what Paimon is all about.

"Alright, now that the treasure hunt is over, I should get back to my business. See you later!"

Yu Jin checked the time and realized that it was almost time for the wolves to appear, so he needed to learn howling.

I can't let this strange commission break my record of 100% completion rate!

"See you later!" ×3

Ying and the others watched as Yu Jin's figure vanished in an instant, and waved their hands stiffly.

He runs so fast!

Chapter 222 Setting the Mountain on Fire?

2023-10-10

"sieve!"

A dark shadow flashed by, bending countless branches and leaves under the force of the wind it generated.

Ember had traveled this route from Whispering Woods to Springvale many times, which is why he dared to run at full speed.

Otherwise, if he did this in unfamiliar territory, he would always end up in some strange places.

Ember got beaten up a lot because of this, but he didn't learn anything from it. Because all those who beat him up were killed by him.

Soon, the familiar windmill of Qingquan Town came into Yu Jin's view.

"Dulaf! Come out! I've accepted your commission!" Ember arrived in Clear Spring Town, waving the commission letter in his hand and shouting.

"Ah! It's Mr. Yu Jin? I've heard so much about you." Soon, a man with animal ears walked over, thanks to Yu Jin's loud voice.

"I've heard so much about you too." Yu Jin grasped Dulav's hand, and his first words left Dulav speechless.

"Ha...haha, it's truly my honor to catch Mr. Ember's eye." Clearly, Dulaf knew Ember's temperament and quickly agreed.

"You were attacked by wolves? Aren't you hunters?" Ember cut to the chase, directly voicing his doubts.

"Um... that's true, but... the specifics are probably not quite what you think."

Dula scratched his head, seemingly unsure how to phrase it. He organized his thoughts and then said:

"Actually, calling it an attack isn't quite accurate. A forest far from our town was burned by a wildfire."

"So the boundaries between hunting grounds and hunting grounds have become blurred. One guy in our town ran into the wolves' territory and got scared..."

"Wait? Hunting grounds? Hunting area? What's the difference?" Ember interrupted Dulaf, asking in confusion.

Hunting and hunting, aren't they the same thing?

"Mr. Ember, you may not know this, but in the area from Clear Spring Town to Wolf Territory, there are wolves in addition to us humans."

"Wolves? Wolves alone shouldn't pose a threat to you, right?"

"It's different. The wolves in Benlang Territory are intelligent and never attack people unless you step into their territory."

“Like…like a human being,” Dulaf said after thinking for a moment.

As the most prestigious and senior hunter in Clearspring Town, Dulaf had witnessed the wolf packs of Wolf Ridge hunting.

Schemes, feigned weakness... all sorts of schemes that seem beyond the comprehension of animals are on full display among the wolf packs of Benlang Territory.

They are hunters for humans, while these are hunters for wolves.

"So, what's the deal with your letter of authorization saying you need someone who can speak wolf language?" Yu Jin nodded. He'd seen wolves with intelligence before, so it wasn't unusual.

"We need to discuss with the wolf pack to redefine the boundaries. It's not just our people who have gone to the wolves' territory; some wolves have also gone to our territory."

As Dulaf spoke, a look of worry appeared on his face. It was alright now, no blood was flowing, but he didn't want to delay any longer.

If someone or a wolf were to die, that would be a huge problem.

On the human side, there are the Knights of Favonius and those who possess the Eye of God. But the wolves are no less impressive, among them are giant wolves exceeding several meters in size.

If a fight were to break out, deep in the mountains and forests, it would be hard to say who would win or lose.

Therefore, Dulaf wanted to draw the line quickly to avoid any trouble.

"You don't speak wolf language, so how were the boundaries defined before?" Ember discovered the blind spot.

"It was passed down from my ancestors."

Dulav silenced the embers with a single sentence.

"Alright, alright, take me there, I'll help you negotiate!" After getting a general understanding of the situation, Yu Jin waved his hand, thinking how troublesome it really was.

He's not very good at this kind of negotiation.

"Good, good, good!" Dulaf breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yu Jin's confident expression. He hadn't been sleeping or eating well these past few days.

All he does all day is drink.

Actually, this isn't so bad. These past few days, he's been drinking, but his daughter hasn't scolded him.

Perhaps they knew he was troubled.

"Young men, grab your gear and come with me. We're going to talk to the wolves!" After confirming that Ember would help, Dulaf started shouting for help.

Actually, it's okay not to call for reinforcements; the key is to have a strong presence. If there are only two of you on your side, and there's a huge crowd on the other side, your presence will be diminished before the negotiations even begin.

Dulaf's voice was quite loud, and soon, the once quiet town of Clear Spring became noisy.

The young hunters, dressed in their leather armor and carrying their hunting bows, gradually gathered around Dulaf.

However, there was one exception among the group of young adults.

It was a pink-haired little girl with cat ears. At this moment, she looked serious, like a little adult.

"Diona, what are you doing here? Go back home, what are you doing, you little kid?" Dulaf looked at his daughter and immediately waved her away.

“I’m not young anymore! Besides, I have the Eye of God! If you get injured, I can help heal you.”

Diona wasn't afraid of her father at all; instead, she bared her teeth and argued forcefully.

“Let this little guy come along, trust me, I’ll make sure you don’t go wrong!” Ember said to Duraf, looking at Diona who was really as flustered as a kitten.

"Well... alright, I'll trust Mr. Ember." Dulaf looked at Ember, then at his angry daughter, and feeling guilty, he agreed.

For some reason, he was afraid whenever Diona got angry. The positions of Duraf and Diona were completely opposite to their relationship.

"Alright, let's go! Let me see the wolf pack of Benlang Territory!" Yu Jin said impatiently, waving his hand as he saw that everyone was ready.

Just as Dulaf had said, the wolves of Wolfrune would actively avoid humans. So even though Ember roamed all over Mondstadt, he hadn't seen any wolves from Wolfrune more than a few times.

"Alright! Let's go! Now that this matter is resolved, we can go hunting without worry!" Dulaf was also infected by Ember's enthusiasm.

He waved like Ember, then led the group away from Clear Spring Town and headed deeper into Wolf Territory.
