The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

"What's so similar? Two out of the three questions have led to Ember. Don't tell me that the 'he' you're talking about has also met Ember."

Upon hearing Dain's profound words, Paimon immediately stepped forward to contradict him.

“I can testify, you golden retriever, I’ve only ever seen you and Ying.”

Ember appeared and echoed Paimon's words.

Upon hearing this, Dain glanced at Paimon, who was inseparable from Ying. Ying and Kong were somewhat similar, but Paimon was nothing like his former self.

"I'm not saying anything." Seeing Dain's expressionless face, Paimon immediately backed down and shrank behind Ying.

Ying looked up at Dain and said in a trembling voice, "You and your brother... do you know each other?"

"[Him]? Whether he's still your brother or not, you'll have to find the answer yourself." Dain nodded first, then shook his head.

After they parted ways, he never saw Kong again, even though they had once been the best of friends.

What is Kong's current situation? What is he thinking? Dain has no idea.

"What about his whereabouts?" Ying stood up, slamming her hand on the table as she asked anxiously.

"Calm down, you won't find him if you rush." ​​Dai Yin poured cold water on Ying's excited state.

After seeing Ying slowly sit down and return to normal, he continued, "Do you know about the Abyss Order?"

“I know, they are inhuman monsters.” Ying didn’t know what Dain’s purpose was in saying this, but she still continued the conversation.

"When you travel, keep an eye out for them; you might find some traces he left behind."

Dyne held out her hand, revealing a blue and white flower. The little flower was so delicate and beautiful, it seemed that a gentle breeze could blow away its five-colored petals.

"when!"

Unexpectedly, the seemingly delicate blue and white flowers made a sound of hard objects colliding when they fell onto the table.

“This is…” Ying looked at the small flower on the table, which looked like it was carved from white stone, and suddenly a blank image appeared in her mind.

The scene is grayscale, and Kong is holding an identical small flower, gently placing it on the ground.

The image then flickered and blurred before disappearing from Ying's mind.

"Intiwart." ×2

Dain and Luminous said in unison. Dain looked up at Luminous when he heard her say "Inteward".

It seems that Ying knows more than he thought.

"Intiwart? What's that?" Paimon picked up the flower, which was as hard as steel, and looked at it curiously.

Could this flower have been forged by Wagner at the entrance of Dain's shop?

"The lost ancient kingdom, the national flower of Kanria." A rare flicker of emotion appeared in Dain's eyes as he searched his distant memories and continued:

"Intiwat, it once bloomed in every corner of Kanria. This flower only blooms for two weeks, during which time it displays its most beautiful form."

"But if someone plucks the flower, it will stop growing and will become very hard."

"Therefore, Intevat in Kanria symbolizes the wanderer and signifies the tenderness of one's homeland."

Dain's tone remained unchanged, just as it had been before. Yet, everyone sensed a strange sadness.

As a result, the once lively little world fell silent.

However, the silence did not last long. A fragrance of flowers, which should not have been present in the tavern, wafted through the air, surprising everyone.

"Come on, one flower for each person."

Ember held a large bunch of freshly picked Intiwat and placed one in the hair of Dain, Paimon, and Luminous.

"Where did you get this Intiwat?!" Dain nearly popped his eyes out when he saw it.

He reached up and took the intiwatt from his head, then rubbed it in his hand.

The soft petals and the overflowing fragrance wafted over, just as Dain remembered.

"Are you making a fuss over nothing? This was specially cultivated! It's an Intiwat flower that can bloom anywhere!"

"How about it? Want some seeds?" Ember said, moving closer to Dain.

Dain wanted to rebuke Ember for violating the meaning of Inteware. But he took a deep breath, and the fragrance of flowers from his memory flooded his mind, lessening the pain in his body.

"Thank you, I owe you a favor." Dain's words turned into gratitude. He took the cloth bag from Yu Jin and carefully put it into his pocket.

"Hehe, here, take mine. I think it suits you perfectly!" Paimon took off his Intiwatt and put it on Lumin's head.

Two Intiwat flowers, one large and one small, were placed in Ying's hair, creating an indescribable sense of naturalness; everything seemed perfectly harmonious.

"Really? Saying nice things won't change the fact that you've spent all your Mora. Next, we're going to hunt wild boars in the wild." Ying's mood improved, and she joked with Paimon.

"How...how could this be?!" Paimon was astounded. She pondered whether she should use her secret stash of money.

"That's more like it! Instead of wallowing in grief, let's take action!" Ember slammed his hand on the table and said, "Let's go cause trouble for the Abyss Order!"

“It’s rare that we share the same viewpoint.” Dain’s facial expression control was absolutely the best Ember had ever seen. Any change in his expression would disappear within two seconds, leaving him expressionless again.

"But the Abyss Order seems hard to find. Ever since the Dragon Plague, we've been entangled with internal human forces like the Fools, and we haven't even seen a trace of the Abyss Order."

Paimon looked at Ying, who nodded in agreement.

"Hmph, is that so? Have you ever considered that someone specifically instructed you to keep the Abyss Order's monsters away from you?"

Dain snorted coldly; he knew all too well what the Abyss Order was thinking.

“In that case…” Paimon scratched his head. How could they possibly find any trace of the Abyss Order?

"Don't worry, I have traces of the Abyss Order here." Dain placed his hands on the table, looking mysterious.

Have you ever heard of the Abyss Apostles?

"I've heard of it, isn't it just a higher form of the Abyss Mage?"

"We've not only heard of them, we've even seen them! I think they're called something like... Abyss Singer?"

Ying and Paimon each said something, silencing Dain once again.

Dain glanced at the embers that were struggling with the hardened Intiwart.

"Hey!"

Sensing Dain's gaze, Ember decisively cosplayed as Venti.

Chapter 343 Dayin, Concealing His Talents

2023-12-09

Dain glanced at Ember, then looked away. He was already somewhat used to it. He wouldn't be surprised if Ember pulled out an Abyss Apostle on the spot.

“Singers… how did you encounter something like this? Even I would find such a monster troublesome.” Dain had some doubts in his mind.

Although Abyss Singers and Abyss Apostles are monsters of the same level, they have different focuses.

If the Apostles are the warriors of the Abyss Order, then the Chanters are the schemers hiding in the shadows.

Although they possess great strength, they prefer to hide in the shadows and use insidious means to achieve their goals.

In terms of sheer difficulty, the Singer is even more challenging than the Apostle!

"Is it troublesome? It's alright." Ying recalled the two Abyss Singers, Yuan Shang and Yuan Huo, and felt that they were by no means "troublesome".

"It seems your strength is even greater than I imagined." Dain nodded upon hearing Ying's words.

As expected of Sora's sister, he acknowledges her strength!

"Well... never mind, thank you for the compliment!" Ying originally wanted to explain the matter of Yuan Shang to Dai Yin, but found it too troublesome to explain.

Moreover, given Dain's appearance, he probably wouldn't believe that there would be such a peculiar chanter as Abyss within the Abyss Order.

So let's wait until Dain and Yuan Shang meet before we talk about it—if they have the chance to meet.

“In that case, it seems the journey ahead will be much easier.” Dain stood up from the table, then looked down at Ying and said:

“Let’s go. According to my information, the Abyss Order has recently been active at the Temple of the West Wind Eagle. Let’s go and investigate.”

However, before Ying could speak, Charles ran over from a distance.

"Six large glasses of apple wine, eight sweet flower-flavored chickens, and four fishermen's toasts, this bill..."

Din looked at the empty glasses and the stack of plates on the table and realized that the difference between him and Paimon had become even greater.

Although they were also travel companions, he couldn't eat as much as Paimon.

He reached out and stopped Ying from reaching into her purse. Dain took out a crystal-clear emerald from his storage pouch.

"No need to look anymore. Next time I come here, the fee will be deducted from this gem."

After saying that, Dain walked out of Angel's Gift without looking back, leaving behind only an aura called "Rich Guy" that lingered in the tavern.

……

The four guardians of Mondstadt are a powerful force protecting Mondstadt, and to commemorate them, Mondstadt built four temples outside the city for their worship.

However, due to various factors, all four temples have fallen into disrepair and become gathering places for monsters. Among them, the East Wind Temple, which belonged to Dvalin, has even disappeared completely.

Of course, Tvalinbenlong wasn't particularly interested in temples and rituals.

The Temple of the Windhawk is located between Mondstadt and the Windrise, representing the Knights of Favonius, one of the Four Winds.

Although the Temple of the Favonius is the closest temple to Mondstadt and commemorates the Knights of Favonius.

However, when the group arrived at the gate of the secret realm, the cracked stones and mottled moss on it all spoke of the vicissitudes of this place.

If the temple of the West Wind Eagle is like this, then there's probably no need to even look at the others.

"This is the temple commemorating the protection of the four winds?" Yu Jin looked up at the gate, which resembled a large burial mound, and couldn't help but complain.

“Although I was also surprised when I first came here, this is the temple of the West Wind Eagle,” Ying nodded and said.

She was the same as Ember the first time, but back then, in order to cut off Dvalin's source of power, she couldn't care less about that.

It looks really dilapidated now.

"External damage is insignificant. The older a secret realm is, the more dangerous it is. Don't let your guard down just because it looks damaged."

After giving a long lecture, Dain pushed open the door and went inside.

The dungeons in Teyvat all appear to have been built using the same technology. Many dungeons share similar layouts, patterns, and building materials.
