The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

There was too much of it, and it made Tvalin feel stuffed.

Dvalin expelled the elemental energy escaping from his body and took another deep breath.

This time, what entered Dvalin's body was no longer the chaotic flow of elements like a runaway horse, but rather pure, incredibly hot air.

At most, the fire elemental power is somewhat abundant.

It seems that their distant kin forcibly suppressed the riotous elemental forces, forming a small, normal landmass in the outer sea of ​​darkness.

Although by Teyvat standards, the environment of this land is still very harsh.

As Tvalin approached, the fiery red earth in the distance gradually became clearer.

The rolling lava, the pitch-black earth, and the trees that grow on it like charcoal meander.

This land was scorching hot everywhere, and the air was filled with a pungent smell like sulfur, making it look like a dead land.

Although this land may seem unsuitable for life, many creatures still roam on it.

Jumping slimes, countless fiery red dragon lizards of various shapes... they add a touch of life to this land that is only red and black.

"Kutri, where did you run off to?" Ember looked down at the dragon lizard fleeing in panic through the lava, his heart filled with contempt.

These dragon lizards are really judging others by their own petty standards. Is Ember the kind of person who would peep on someone while they're bathing?

That said, these dragon lizards are really peculiar creatures. The structure of the fire dragon lizard's body is actually different from that of the rock dragon lizard. I've learned something new.

"Right below you~" A half-dead rumbling sound came from below, as if someone had been woken up.

“Below…” Yu Jin looked down, a guess forming in his mind.

And so, Ember leaped up and stomped on Dvalin's head, almost giving him a stiff neck, sending him flying high into the air.

Higher in the sky, Ember's view became much wider. Now, he saw the "continent" coiled and lying in the sea like a giant dragon.

"How did you grow so big?" Ember landed back on Dvalin's head, completely ignoring Dvalin's shocked eye roll below.

So dragons can change size depending on the location?

"Crack!"

The dark earth below cracked open, revealing a terrifyingly large eye. However, the eye's gaze was drowsy.

At the edge of the crack, large gushes of magma gushed out, and Ember suspected that it was Kutri's eye boogers.

“What’s the big deal? I can get even bigger!” Kutri’s slightly smug voice came from beneath the sea, it seemed his mouth was still submerged at the bottom.

"You've grown up all this time just to make room for your dragon sons and grandsons?" Yu Jin looked at Kutri at this moment and felt that it was pretty much the truth.

At this moment, apart from his voice being the same as when they first met, everything else about Kutri was either exactly the same or completely unrelated.

The flames that were originally rising outside the body retracted into the body, and the eternally burning fire scales were extinguished and became the continental plates.

Given its appearance, Ember felt that Kutri should be called a Rock Dragon.

"Otherwise what? Are you just bored?" Kutri's eyes closed slightly, and the lava in the corners of his eyes gushed out even more fiercely, as if he were yawning.

"Teyvat is now the domain of humans, and I am a surviving dragon. If I don't find them a place to live, who will?"

Kutry said this in a very flat tone, as if he were talking about something completely unrelated.

"So your method is to turn yourself into land?" Ember looked at Kutri, who was only open-eyed and motionless, and felt that this was too uncomfortable.

Completely submerged in water and unable to move—torture, absolute torture! The same torture as being on a lift with three dogs!

“Well, to my shame, I’m a good fighter, but when it comes to protecting my crew, this is the only method I can think of.” Kutri sighed, thinking of one guy—Appepp.

I don't know if that old woman is dead or not. If she is, I can stuff all my relatives into her body.

But thinking about his current state, Kutri sighed again. If someone as capable as him had become like this, then Appepp, who was more of a support player, was even worse off.

"Sigh... I should find out where the trees are densest in Teyvat sometime, so I can go burn some incense," Kutri thought sadly.

Of the original seven dragons, I'm probably the only one left.

"You're so pitiful." After hearing Kutri's words, Yu Jin inexplicably felt that this guy was a little pitiful.

“Actually, it’s alright.” Kutri chuckled a few times, and the ground below shook as if an earthquake had occurred.

“I can sleep for decades or even centuries, enough time for them to reproduce for several generations.”

"Moreover, I haven't had a good night's sleep in a long time since I was trapped by something outside the world. I can take this opportunity to catch up."

"So, I just closed my eyes and you found me again. What's the matter?" Kutri changed the subject, looking at Tvalin who was staring at Ember's body.

It seems he has already guessed what it is.

"Let me introduce you to a good friend, Dvalin. The Wind Dragon, probably the second generation," Ember said, pointing to Dvalin with enthusiasm.

"Haha, I can see that." Kutri laughed a few more times, then teased, "Little guy, you're much worse than your ex, you need to work harder."

"I...I know." Dvalin looked down at the giant eye, his heart filled with nothing but tension and horror.

He originally thought that Rota's strength was already so terrifying, but he didn't expect that Kutri was even more terrifying than Rota.

Although Kutri's aura is much weaker than Roda's due to his serious injuries, his sense of superiority, deeply ingrained in his blood, is much stronger than Roda's!

“A dragon born under the new order…” Kutri’s eyes darted around, as if trying to see through Dvalin.

"Tell me, what kind of order does the world have now?"

"Order? The continent of Teyvat is currently ruled by seven powers..." Dvalin pondered for a moment before slowly describing the current order.

“Seven rulers… seven dragon kings…” Kutri muttered to himself, then said sarcastically, “Will the new order also bear the shadow of the old order?”

But soon Kutri stopped thinking about these things and looked at Tvalin's body, which was a flowing gust of wind.

Above the azure breeze, a higher level of power lingered. It was the aura of the wind dragon, but at this moment it was intertwined with Dvalin's appearance.

The power of the wind did not disappear from Dvalin, nor was it taken back by him; instead, a protective aura enveloped him.

"Rumble..."

Mountains crumbled and lava flowed into the sea. Amidst the countless evaporating water vapors, a colossal, sky-covering shadow completely enveloped Dvalin.

"Little one, can you tell me your place in the new order?"

Chapter 321 A Matter of Face

2023-11-28

"Gurgle..." Dvalin looked up at the figure rising from the sea. Lava, black rocks... these had completely filled Dvalin's entire field of vision.

In his eyes, Tvalin could see nothing but Kutri's enormous body.

"Stop! I said stop!" Ember flew between Tvalin and Kutri, pressing down his palm as he spoke.

Fortunately, he had the foresight; otherwise, he might have witnessed the tragedy of his own kind killing each other.

Kutri shifted his body slightly, his eyes glancing sideways at Ember, whereupon he saw Ember holding a staff in both hands, banging on a gong and drum.

The banging was incredibly loud.

Kutri recalled the turbulent starry sky etched in his mind and realized he couldn't withstand two simultaneous shots, so he consciously shrank back.

"Wow~"

The waves surged, and the earth returned to its original state; even the spot where Kutri opened his eyes remained unchanged.

Yu Jin wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead, feeling a sense of relief. It seemed he still had some face to save.

"stare--"

A somewhat blinding gaze came from behind. When Ember looked down, he saw that Kutri's eyes were fixed on Tvalin.

He just watched quietly, saying nothing, creating a strangely awkward atmosphere.

“Actually, Dvalin isn’t what you think. The main thing is that he was born all alone and doesn’t know anything,” Ember said, speaking up for Dvalin.

"stare--"

"See? Without knowing anything, the Wind God approached Dvalin. And Dvalin isn't close to the Wind God, is he?"

"stare--"

“It wasn’t that he was close to me; I was drawn to him by his singing and poetry,” Tvalin, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up.

He took a deep breath, nodded, and continued, "I am a servant of the wind god."

"Human songs and laughter delight me, and the poets' lamentations and melodies make me ponder. So I became the guardian of the four winds, and also a servant of the wind god."

"Boom!"

Kutri closed his large eyes, followed by a laugh filled with self-mockery and resentment.

"Hehehe... Wind God, Wind Dragon, Wind God's retinue..."

The laughter was tinged with a sense of desolation. As if he had laughed enough, Kutri's large eyes reopened, and he looked at Tvalin, saying softly:

"Little guy, let's go. You've found your place in the new order. Too much contact with an old codger like me won't end well."

After saying that, Kutri closed his eyes again.

“Kutri…” Tvalin wanted to say something to Kutri, but was stopped by a wink from the person next to him.

Don't ask how Ember winked; Dvalin could just read the "Run!" message through the peephole in Ember's helmet.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Tvalin flew off into the distance. Since Kutri didn't want to see him now, there was no point in him staying.

Dvalin flew very fast and disappeared in no time. Seeing Dvalin gone, Ember fell from the sky and landed on Kutri's skin—if Kutri's skin was not dirty.

"Hey! Get up!" Yu Jin stomped his foot on the ground and shouted.

Kutri remained silent.

"You're not getting up, huh? Well then I'm going to start drilling!" Ember said, raising his staff.

A blue-green magic drill appeared in Ember's hand; it was the essential spell for miners in the Borderlands—Exploding Rock!

"Stop, stop, stop!" The earth trembled again, and Kutri opened his eyes. This time it was his turn to say stop.

"Oh ho, weren't you pretty tough? Why are you opening your eyes now?" Yu Jin put away his staff and said teasingly.

"Speak quickly if you have something to say!" Kutri rolled his eyes; all he wanted now was for Ember to get out of there as soon as possible.

Kutri was feeling down and wanted some peace and quiet.
