The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

“You’re generalizing. I’ve seen the Abyss Order do good deeds,” Ember retorted on the spot.

He felt that since Yuan Shang wasn't here, he should at least say a few words in his defense.

"Then you must have been deceived by them." Dain's expression remained unchanged. He had fought against the Abyss Order for hundreds of years and knew best the ways in which those inhuman beings operated.

"Well... maybe I can introduce you two later?" Yu Jin thought Dain was quite difficult to deal with when he saw her expression.

These kinds of people are the most troublesome to correct. But fortunately, Dain doesn't seem to need personality correction.

"Really? Then I'm looking forward to it." Dain glanced at Ember a few more times, seemingly surprised that Ember would have connections with the Abyss Order.

"Is there anything else? I'm busy. If not, I'll be going now." After saying that, Dain walked around Ember and continued walking.

"Um... is that so?" Yu Jin glanced at Dain's hurried appearance and felt that he didn't seem to be talking, so he decided not to press him further.

He clung to Dain for two reasons: firstly, because his behavior of emerging from the ground was unusual, and secondly, because his appearance was somewhat unusual.

"Can you tell me where I live?" Ember shouted to Dain, who had already walked quite a distance away.

Dain, who was some distance away, paused and turned around, saying, "Where do you live? It's not polite to ask someone's address on the first meeting."

As he spoke, Dain shook his head. This guy was a complete oddball. If he weren't homeless, he would really like to get to know Ember.

"No, I just think you look a lot like someone." Ember's voice came, and this time, Dain's steps didn't just stop—he started to walk backwards!

"Like me? Who?" A moment later, Dain ran back to Ember's side. This time, he wasn't expressionless; his voice was urgent.

Regardless of whether the "likeness" that Ember spoke of was a physical resemblance or a psychological one, it was a piece of information that Dain could not ignore.

Since they resemble each other, that person must have also experienced the abyss and the destruction of their homeland.

Having experienced it, he naturally possessed information about these two points, which moved Dain more than anything else.

"Actually, they're not that similar?" Yu Jin scratched his head. Upon closer inspection, he realized that Dain and Ying were quite different.

"Excuse me, do you have a sister?" Yu Jin grabbed Dain as he turned to leave and asked.

"No."

Dain struggled even harder.

"What do you want to do?! Put me down!!!"

In a desolate wilderness of Mondstadt, Ember was carrying a man as he ran wildly.

"Don't get so excited. Look at you, with your blonde hair and eye patch, you could totally impersonate Ying's older brother."

Please help me!

Feeling the terrifying force of Daiyin on his shoulder, Ember used even more strength.

"Hiss—, put me down, I promise you!" After hearing the faint cracking sound of her bones, Dain gasped and gave up struggling.

He now realized that the guy in front of him was a monster of strength, and trying to outmuscle him was just asking for trouble.

“That’s right, carrying a big man like you on my back has been exhausting.” Yu Jin loosened his grip on Dain’s hand, and the latter fell to the ground.

Dain rubbed his lower back, feeling a burning pain. This was the first time in five hundred years that he had experienced pain other than that caused by the curse.

It feels...not bad?

"What's the name of that person you were talking about?" Dain rubbed his lower back expressionlessly, which made Yu Jin feel an inexplicable urge to complain.

"Her name is Ying. It seems she got separated from her brother and is traveling around looking for him." Yu Jin felt that this was not quite accurate.

Judging from Ying's relaxed demeanor, she doesn't seem to be in any hurry to find her relatives.

Perhaps she had some kind of suspicion in her heart? Yu Jin couldn't help but guess that, but since Ying had always said that the purpose of the trip was to find her brother, he decided to believe her for the time being.

“Fire? Fate…” Day’s voice was barely audible, barely audible.

"What? What did you say?" Ember's large face came closer and asked Dain.

“It’s nothing.” Dain took a few steps back and continued, “I agreed. Let’s go see that girl named ‘Ying’.”

After saying that, Dain stared blankly at Ember, waiting quietly for his next move.

"Can you change your expression and come with me?" Yu Jin complained about Dain's expression as he led him back to the small hill.

"No."

Dain's answer was straightforward.

……

"what……"

On an unnamed hill in Mondstadt, Paimon yawned, rubbed her eyes, and mumbled, "Let's go back. The Ember might have gone up to the sky with the meteorite."

"This……"

Everyone was about to object, but then they thought about it again and realized that this possibility was actually quite high.

"Why are you all looking at me like that?" Mona asked, looking quite surprised as she noticed everyone's gaze.

"Why don't you do a divination?" Ying looked at Mona and chuckled.

"I already said, you can't divine anything about the embers." Mona shook her head helplessly, but she still took out the water divination plate.

I'll do a quick divination; I don't think Ember will notice, right?

With this thought in mind, Mona moved the pointer on the water swatch. The water rippled, and this time it was no longer a chaotic mess, but a concrete image appeared.

"Don't worry, I'll be there soon."

The figure of Yu Jin appeared on the water divination plate. After speaking, the water divination plate rippled again, returning to its previous blurry form when it was used to divine his fate.

"..."

"I told you, it was definitely predictable." Ying shrugged, looking like she knew it would happen.

Just as everyone fell silent, a voice they recognized came from afar.

"Ying, I found your older brother!!!"

"???!!!"

Ying and Paimon's sleepy eyes immediately widened, all their drowsiness dispelled by Ember's words.

"What?! Where?!" In her excitement, Yinglian didn't even greet Paimon before rushing towards the source of the sound.

The embers weren't far from here; after only a short sprint, Ying saw two figures appear in the distance.

One of them was Ember, and the other was a stranger she didn't know.

"Senior, could you please stop joking like that? It's really damaging your credibility with me." Ying's excited eyes instantly turned into calm, lifeless ones. The speed was so fast that even Yu Jin was caught off guard.

"Huh? There's such a thing? Why didn't you tell me before?" Yu Jin scratched his head. He'd never heard of it before.

"I added it at the last minute." Ying yawned and prepared to go back to sleep with Paimon.

"What nonsense!" Yu Jin waved his hand, no longer paying attention to what Ying was saying.

He glanced at Daines Reeb, who was staring intently at him, and waved in front of the latter.

"Hey! What's going on? You're so engrossed in watching, are you really Ying's older brother?"

Now that Ying and Dain were both in front of Yu Jin, he compared the two and thought it was indeed possible.

That blond hair looks so much like it.

“No, I already said, I have no family.” Dain grabbed Ember’s hand and pressed it down.

Sure enough, Sora's sister looks a lot like him.

Hearing Dai Yin's voice, Ying, who was standing nearby, also looked up and sized up the stranger in front of her.

Ying was clearly taken aback when she saw his blond hair, which was similar to her own. But she quickly shook her head.

Although the person in front of me had a familiar aura, that was all.

Whether it was his physique, his voice, or even the style of behavior he had just displayed, he was very different from Kong in Yingxin's heart.

He was just a somewhat strange stranger.

"How does it look familiar?" Yu Jin asked impatiently after seeing the two of them sizing each other up.

"I'm not familiar with this, senior. Where did you find such a..." Ying looked up at Dain's clothes, which were very different from those in Mondstadt, and then caught a glimpse of the blue cloak behind him adorned with starlight...

“So much like you.” Ying nodded and said seriously.

Then she reached out her hand to Dain and said, "Ying, the senior is a very nice person. Just ignore his eccentric behavior."

"Dainsreb, I've already experienced it." Dainsreb also reached out and shook hands with Ying, nodding as he spoke.

Since Ying said so, let's tentatively put Yu Jin in the "trustworthy" category.

"Hmph, I never expected such a wondrous person to be here. You, the Gatherer of the End of Light, I, the Princess of Judgment, have already seen you!"

The familiar tone and familiar voice indicated that Fischl and the others had come over.

Sure enough, no sooner had Fischl finished speaking than the group of people who had been left behind by Ying arrived here.

Fischl started adding more details about Dain on her own again, while Paimon lay on Ying's face angrily pulling her hair.

As for Mona, she was already hugging her water divination tray and crying silently in the corner—she found that she could no longer divine any information about Daines Reeb.

“The End of Light… the Gatherer of Branches…”

Dain took a deep breath, and for some reason felt that the title Fischl had used was so fitting.

But when he glanced at Fischl, who was amusing himself and saying words he couldn't understand at all, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"A coincidence?" Dain muttered to himself, then turned back into a silent statue, quietly watching Ember and the others chat and joke around.

Ember and his friends talked about everything, from explaining the workings of the stars to Mona to local legends and tales.

However, it was getting late, and they didn't chat for long before some of them started to doze off.

Seeing this, Dain knew it was a good opportunity to talk to Ying alone.
