The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

2023-08-28

"Yes! It's her, the one who kicked me last night!" Yu Jin said excitedly, looking at a beautiful figure on the bar.

The woman wore a nun's headscarf shaped like feathers, which at first glance looked like her long hair. Beneath the headscarf were lace shorts that encased her sexy thighs in black stockings.

Her presence at the tavern at this time, coupled with her behavior, gives people a sense of being unconventional.

Of course, Yu Jin has no right to judge others for being unconventional.

Rosalia heard a somewhat familiar shout, turned her head and saw Ember.

This made her feel a little awkward, but that was all. She picked up a glass of wine, walked over to Yu Jin, and said:

"What happened last night was wrong of me, but you weren't hurt, were you? Let me buy you a drink as my apology."

Yu Jin was momentarily stunned, because he hadn't expected her to be so polite. It was mainly because Rosalia's attire was different from that of a typical nun, which led him to make the wrong judgment.

But it's good that they apologized. Yu Jin smiled and said, "I accept your apology. We became friends after our fight. Yu Jin, where are you?"

"Rosalia," Rosalia replied calmly.

"Can you let me reset my skill points?" Yu Jin suddenly asked a cryptic question.

"What?" Rosalia asked, puzzled. Reset skill points? What's that?

"It's nothing, I was just talking nonsense," Yu Jin laughed it off.

Rosalia didn't mind. Was it strange that someone as unconventional as Ember, who was even more eccentric than her, would say something difficult to understand?

"Here, have a drink first. Order whatever you want, no need to pay." Under Wendy's watchful eye, Ember secretly moved a glass of unidentified drink next to Rosalind.

"Oh? So generous? Then I won't stand on ceremony." Rosalia's eyes lit up slightly, but she was far less enthusiastic than Wendy, whose eyes were still shining.

"By the way, as a nun, why are you out beating people up at night instead of sleeping?" Ember looked Rosalia up and down, somewhat curious.

Because in his mind, nuns didn't seem to do this kind of thing.

“What nun? I don’t recognize that title. I’m just fulfilling my duty.” Rosalia seemed quite resistant to Ember calling her a nun, and she retorted as soon as Ember finished speaking.

"What are your responsibilities?" Yu Jin asked curiously.

“Cleanse Mondstadt of darkness,” Rosalia said casually, as if it were a trivial matter.

Ember pointed to himself and said, "Do I look like darkness to you?"

Rosalia couldn't hold back any longer. Remembering how Ember had been loitering around the Church of Zephyr that morning, she muttered:

"No, you're a grown man, you're not injured, why are you so hung up on this?"

Yu Jin showed no embarrassment. He shook his head and said, "No, I just think your job is a bit dangerous. Do you have any friends?"

Often accompanied by darkness, one may find oneself trapped within it without even realizing it. Ember was once like that, but someone pulled him back.

“Not many, but there are some.” As if remembering something, Rosalia’s sharp eyes softened.

"That's good. I was thinking that if you didn't have any friends, I could be one of them." Yu Jin nodded and didn't say anything more.

The light in your heart can dispel the deepest darkness, even in the deepest shadows.

"Hahaha, Ember, that's not how you start a conversation. Wait until I finish my drink, then I'll teach you how to flirt with girls." Wendy almost spat out her drink when she heard Ember's words.

This was the first time he had ever encountered such a direct and innocent way of striking up a conversation.

Ember felt Rosalia's strange gaze and immediately became dissatisfied.

"What do you mean? What do you mean? It's just making friends, why all the fuss? Men and women can have pure friendships too!"

For example, he and the Fire Keeper, Ember thought proudly.

Wendy looked at him with some surprise, then smiled and said, "As expected of my best friend, you think the same way I do!"

Ember glanced at Wendy, thinking, "You just want a drink voucher, okay?"

But then he remembered something and teased Wendy, "Are all the nuns of the Wind God like this? Why are even the nuns starting to fight?"

“Isn’t that perfect? ​​Who says nuns can only heal wounds?” Wendy didn’t feel embarrassed at all; on the contrary, she became proud.

He was actually pleased that an outlier like Rosalia could appear among the nuns, because freedom was the most fundamental attribute of Mondstadt.

“It’s just me.” Rosalia said, seeing Ember and Wendy chatting happily.

“Most of the nuns are quite fitting for their roles; I’m the only exception,” Rosalia explained again, afraid they wouldn’t understand.

"I see." Yu Jin pretended to understand, then asked her, "What do you think of the Wind God?"

“Hmm…” Rosalia hadn’t expected Ember to ask this question. She frowned and thought for a moment before saying:

"The Wind God? I'm indifferent to him. He hasn't appeared in Mondstadt for a long time, but I'm very grateful to him for establishing Mondstadt."

“I don’t think this will work. This Wind God is always so irresponsible, he doesn’t even care about his own kingdom,” Ember said, putting his arm around Wendy’s neck.

"What are you talking about? The Wind God must have his reasons," Wendy retorted, clearly displeased.

Then he asked Rosalia, "Rosalia, what would you do if someone with great power but hiding their true strength appeared in Mondstadt?"

【Aberdo?】 Rosalia frowned slightly, glancing at Wendy, Aberdo's friend?

However, she calmly said, "I usually keep an eye on him. If he doesn't intend to sabotage Mondstadt, then so be it; if he does, I will do everything in my power to stop him."

As Rosalia finished speaking, her aura suddenly turned menacing, but Wendy and Ember didn't take it seriously.

Ember glanced at Rosalia's nun's headscarf and asked, "Since you're from the Church of the West Wind, you should know a little about the Wind God, right? Tell me about it."

"What do you want to know? I only know a limited amount more than the average person." Rosalia reverted to her nonchalant demeanor; she wasn't particularly interested in anything related to her nun's duties.

"For example, how old is the Wind God this year?" Ember asked a question that neither Wendy nor Rosalia had expected.

“I remember Basbato, no, it seems to be Batobas… Never mind! Anyway, it’s been more than three thousand years since the Wind God awakened from a wisp of wind.”

To Rosalia's surprise, she couldn't even remember the name of the Wind God. Even so, she managed to answer Ember's question.

"More than three thousand?" Yu Jin stroked his chin, ignoring Rosalia's disrespect towards the wind god, and then said, "How does this age count among the gods?"

"Well... I only know about the Wind God. I don't know much about the gods of other countries." Rosalia shook her head decisively; she didn't care about such things at all.

"Hehe, that's quite long," Wendy chuckled, quite proudly.

"Hey, don't look at me like that. I'm Mondstadt's most learned bard, okay?" Wendy immediately explained when he saw Rosalia giving him a suspicious look.

"How come I've never heard of Mondstadt having a famous bard like you?" Rosalia muttered.

"I have it now!" Wendy said confidently, hands on her hips.

"I say, if a guy who's tens of thousands of years old came to Mondstadt, what do you think Barbatos should call him?" Ember asked Wendy casually.

"Um... I don't think the gods would care about these titles," Wendy said with a smile, scratching his head.

“Really? I think so too.” Yu Jin smiled, though it wasn’t obvious.

Rosalia watched the two talking eloquently and thought their way of thinking was really unique. Everyone else was talking about the power of the gods, but the two of them were making up stories about the gods.

Rosalia shook her head, downed her cocktail in one gulp, then stood up and said, "Thanks, it's been a long time since I've had such a refreshing drink!"

"Rosalia, you can find me at the Church of the West Wind if you need anything."

After saying that, she stepped out of the angel's gift.

Ember felt he had been sitting long enough, and glancing at the array of glasses in front of Wendy, he stood up and said:

"Alright, I've been sitting here too long. I need to go for a walk. You can keep drinking."

"Hehe, bye-bye, I'll come drink with you again sometime." Wendy remained seated at the table, showing no intention of getting up.

"Oh, by the way, I hope Mondstadt is alright?" Just as Ember was about to step out of Angel's Gift, Wendy's casual words came from behind.

"What bad things could someone who doesn't even drink alcohol do?"

Upon hearing this, Wendy glanced at the wine glass still full of liquid on Ember's seat and drank even more heartily.

Chapter 32 The fledgling bird about to take flight

2023-08-28

"I'm going back to Xumi tomorrow morning, so you should get ready."

Early in the morning, Seno arrived at Ember's house and explained his plans for returning.

"So soon?" Ember frowned. Seno had only been in Mondstadt for a few days, and he was already going back?

“Yes, it’s my duty. The Order of the Church has a lot of work waiting for me.” Seno nodded, then explained:

"There are very few clues, and staying any longer won't yield any results, so it's better to go back and organize the clues we have."

"That's true, then see you tomorrow?"

"See you tomorrow."

After a brief farewell, the cabin fell silent. Yu Jin, looking at the somewhat sullen Galuro and Cole, smiled and said:

"Hurry up and eat. After you finish eating, I'll teach you how to use the Sun Bracelet."

The two girls' eyes lit up immediately. Yu Jin had said that the Sun Bracelet had teleportation capabilities, and they had never seen such a magical thing before.

Breakfast was over quickly as they wolfed it down.

Holding the Sun Bracelet, Yu Jin addressed the expectant faces of Galuro and Cole:

"First of all, this bracelet has two functions: one is to make calls, and the other is to transmit data."

"Put this bracelet on your head and think about the person or place you want to communicate with or teleport to."

"I only recommend that you use the call function, because sending a message is a one-way ticket, and I will have to send you back later."

Seeing Galuro and Cole nodding repeatedly like chickens pecking at rice, Ember said directly, "Give it a try."

Then he went outside, leaving Galuro and Cole staring at each other in bewilderment.

"Sister Ke Lai, shall we give it a try?"

"Yes, I'll definitely give it a try."

As Yu Jin leaned against the doorway, he idly watched the passersby when suddenly a faint shout echoed in his mind.
