The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

To be fair, they did have some connection with Dvalin. At least they had watched Ember torture Wendy together.

“Paimon, Luminous.” Dvalin nodded. Dvalin cared deeply for every human he knew; after all, he was a dragon who feared loneliness.

"Look at yourself, and then look at others!" Yu Jin pointed at Dvalin, then at Rota below, and said with a look of disappointment.

Dvarin, standing before Roda, looked like a small blue sparrow.

“That’s not how it works.” A deep, resonant male voice came from below. Ruo Tuo lay on the ground and gently shook his head.

His mind was a little muddled, but one thing Ruoduo was very clear about—he should not move around unless he was in the desolate Gobi Desert.

Looking up at the Dvarin soaring in the sky, Rota felt a strange sense of familiarity.

"The elements within my body have been accumulating for at least six thousand years. And that little guy has been accumulating for less than three thousand years."

Ruoduo then explained.

"Rodha...you..."

“My mind is clearer now. But it’s still a bit muddled, so Morax, you need to explain it to me.” Jota nodded.

"Of course! Thousands of years have passed, and Liyue has changed a lot. I could talk about it for three days and three nights and still not finish."

Zhongli nodded emphatically, pacing back and forth in the Jade Pavilion. This was the first time Yu Jin had ever seen Zhongli so excited.

It seems that when Osel said "sharing the same pants," he meant underwear.

"A dragon? Where did you find the embers?" Upon hearing Roda's words, Dvalin no longer had any doubts.

But then a wave of frustration washed over him. Actually, all he'd done lately, besides building houses, was wander around aimlessly. And yet, when it came to finding something, he was slower than Yu Jin, who could run.

This made Tvalin somewhat dissatisfied; perhaps he should train his eyesight a little more?

"Looking for?" Ember recalled the scene of his encounter with the dragon, shrugged and said, "Let me tell you a secret, I never looked for the dragon, the dragon came to me on its own initiative!"

Kutri was the one who deliberately caused trouble in the Dark Sea, while Rota was the one who ran into him while running wildly in a madman. The only dragon that Ember actively sought out was Dvalin.

"He took the initiative to find you?" Dvalin looked around at the terrain, which was completely different from before, and seemed to have realized something.

"Did you create this?" Tvalin asked, pointing to the land that had been a forest but was now a jungle, with great certainty.

That was how he first met Yu Jin. The moment he played his final closing song, the terrain of the Thousand Winds Temple changed.

The Temple of a Thousand Winds has now become a famous tourist attraction and cultural center in Mondstadt.

All I can say is that the buildings constructed by Ember are of guaranteed quality and cover a large area. The only drawback is that the decor is too serious, giving off a somewhat suffocating feeling.

Unfortunately, this one and only flaw was also eliminated by the embers—the solemn statues of sword-wielding knights became comical at the mere thought that they were built by the embers.

"Don't make false accusations. It was Oser and this fat dragon who fought." Ember jumped back a step, completely absolving himself of any blame that wasn't his.

He didn't actually cause any damage. The Flowing Water Sword Technique is purely a mental attack, without any physical harm.

"What do you mean I did it? This fat dragon did it himself!" Oser argued indignantly.

He was like a sandbag, being pressed and slid around on the ground by Ruoduo. Destroying those mountains was not his intention at all.

"Me... Could it be that Ajiu escaped? No... no, it wasn't Ajiu, it was me who escaped?!"

Ruoduo recalled the fragmented memories in his mind, his tone filled with shock and regret. He had been forced to be sealed and put into slumber due to the wear and tear on his body.

During his thousand-year slumber, his fragmented consciousness and hatred for the usurpation eventually formed Ajiu.

However, Aju didn't possess the terrifying power to alter the terrain at all; the only possibility was that he had broken through Morax's seal and escaped.

“It wasn’t you, Ruoduo.” Zhongli stopped pacing, stroked his chin, and comforted him, “It was an organization called the Fools who targeted your madness, and their members released you.”

Zhongli nodded as he spoke, “Yes! This should be attributed to the Fools.”

“I think so too. It was those scoundrels from the Fools who did it!” Paimon pumped his fist, indicating his strong agreement with Zhongli’s statement.

"Hmm... the Fools should indeed be held responsible for this." Ningguang felt there was a problem, but it didn't matter anymore.

Didn't you see that the Emperor didn't pursue Ruo Tuo's responsibility? As one of the Seven Stars, you should have some sense!

“This…” Yu Jin scratched his head. Logically speaking, Ruo Tuo should bear some responsibility for the mistake, no matter what.

But when he glanced at Zhongli, who looked completely at ease, Ningguang, who was nodding behind him, and Ying and Paimon, who were grinning mischievously to the side, he instantly stopped caring.

Since Liyue didn't care anyway, why should he? So Ember also chimed in, criticizing the Fatui, "Yeah! The Fatui are really wicked! They need to be punished properly!"

"???"

"Why are you all looking at me like that? It's the Seven Regents' business, especially since it's Liyue's. You can't get involved even if you want me to!"

Ausel noticed that everyone's eyes were on him, and the five big heads had big questions.

“You are also one of the parties involved, so both morally and logically, we should ask for your opinion.” Zhong Li said with a faint smile, his hands behind his back.

Although he was biased towards his old friend, this bias would not allow Zhong Li to infringe upon the interests of others, even if that "person" was Osel.

“These fools are so hateful! Kill them all!” Oser said with drooping eyelids and a speechless expression. What a boring program.

He didn't harbor much resentment towards Ruoduo to begin with. You're talking about the injuries from battle? Oser just wanted to chuckle.

After all, he was a demon god who had experienced the war between demon gods, so physical pain had a negligible impact on him.

"Haha, thank you all for your kindness. If there's anything I can do for you in the future, just let me know."

"I'm still quite good at rough work like clearing land, turning soil, digging pits, and mining." Ruo Tuo couldn't help but laugh when he heard the words from the Jade Pavilion.

I never expected to make so many friends as soon as I came out. And one of them is even my former enemy, Oser.

This feeling is not bad?

"Look at them? And look at you? What did you do, Dvalin?" Upon hearing Ruoduo's words, Yu Jin suddenly felt that Liyue was about to have a good life ahead.

Such a large dragon, especially a rock dragon, and Liyue is full of mountains, so there must be countless mineral veins there.

As a result, both arable land and mineral resources in Liyue are about to skyrocket.

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean'?" Dvalin retorted defiantly. He pondered for a moment, then continued, "Go ask the farmers in Mondstadt, and see if there's ever a year when the weather isn't perfect?"

“Look up at the fierce winds in the sky again. Who do you think has blown away the winter winds all these years?”

"Think about Mondstadt's location? Why is it that the Fatui are closest to Mondstadt, yet Mondstadt hasn't even signed that agreement?"

……

Dvalin chattered on and on, explaining that even with the poison in his blood, he had done his best to protect Mondstadt over the years, and even while he was asleep, he hadn't forgotten to leave behind his power.

Who would have thought that Mondstadt would completely forget about him when he woke up? And still call him the Demon Dragon? He was almost furious.

"How could you do so much?" Ember was immediately taken aback. Was Dvalin the wind god or Venti the wind god? He was doing way too much!

"Because Barbatos doesn't do anything productive!" Tvalin said angrily, recalling Wendy's idle ways.

Chapter 317 Destination

2023-11-26

"Okay... fine." Ember was at a loss for words, not expecting Wendy to give up like this.

Hearing Tvalin's complaint, Mongot glanced at the oblivious Ember.

Actually, he really wanted to say that Yu Jin was just like that "Wind God"—he never did anything productive all day.

Fortunately, the border area is full of talented people, so they are not as busy as Tvalin every day.

Zhongli, watching Tvalin's frantic吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments), suddenly thought of Oser. Among the people of the Jade Pavilion, it seemed he was the only one with nothing to do.

“Osel, would you be interested in settling down in Liyue?” Zhongli looked up at the enormous Osel beside him and invited him.

"Heh, what made you have the illusion that I have feelings for Liyue?" Oser sneered a few times. Out of respect for Ember, he wouldn't think of doing anything to Liyue.

However, if it were to be integrated into Liyue as Zhongli suggested, Oser would still find it somewhat unacceptable for the time being.

“Is that so…” Zhongli’s expression stiffened, then he shook his head with some regret.

Zhongli was forced to participate in the war between the demon gods, and he didn't harbor any hatred towards his defeated opponents like Ausel.

Unfortunately, Oser didn't think that way. He had his own thoughts, which Zhongli understood. After all, he was the one who sealed that person in the sea for over two thousand years; it was normal for him to harbor resentment.

Zhongli now only hopes that Oser won't harbor any hostility towards Liyue. Otherwise, even though Oser is much weaker, it will still take a considerable amount of effort to suppress him.

"Speaking of which, since you're so kind as to take me in, aren't you afraid..." Oser pointed to the sky with his tail.

"Phew..." Zhongli sighed and said with a faint smile, "I don't think we need to worry about that."

"Those people in the sky are probably half-dead."

"Who is so fierce?!" Oser exclaimed, but he quickly calmed down.

"I'm making a fuss over nothing," Oser thought, looking at the embers climbing onto Dvalin's back, feeling deeply moved.

Why is this world becoming increasingly incomprehensible? How come a demon god keeps getting hit one blow after another?

"So, if you're not going to Liyue, where are you planning to go?" There were too many people here, and Zhongli didn't want to continue this topic.

"The Dark Outer Sea".

"The Dark Outer Sea?" Zhongli frowned. Such a treacherous place—it was truly amazing that Oser could even conceive of it.

“Osel, if you’re too embarrassed to ask, I can carve out a piece of sea in Liyue for you to live in.”

"Liyue is vast; even if you are a demon god, it can accommodate you."

Zhongli advised Osel. After all, Osel had done a great deal to stop Ruoduo. To send him to hide in that godforsaken place was, in Zhongli's opinion, impolite.

"Have you forgotten something?" Oser asked calmly, looking into the distance.

Zhongli thought back on what he had just said and found nothing wrong with it, so he shook his head and said, "You can make any requests you have."

"Morax, have you forgotten that I have a wife?" Osel's five snake heads suddenly became visibly excited.

What about Liyue? Does it matter if even a hair on Báchá's head is in their hands?

"Morax, although I am far inferior to you in terms of clergy, you are destined to live a relatively unsuccessful life in terms of personal life."

Finally, there was something better than Morax, so Oser decided to make no attempt to hide his boasting from Morax.

Watching the constantly writhing Osel, Zhongli felt for the first time that this guy was so deserving of a beating.

"To the Outer Sea of ​​Darkness?" Ember perked up at the mention of it. He tapped Dvalin on the head from behind and said to him:

"Didn't I mention before that there's one of your kind in the outer sea of ​​darkness? Are you going or not?"
