The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

This power was the abyss that Dain had always warned Ying not to touch. Thinking of this, Dain found it amusing again.

Even though he himself was already half-buried in the abyss and curse, he still warned others not to come in.

"Dane, you seem to have a lot of experience traveling? Can you tell me about your past experiences?" Seeing that Dain spoke so eloquently, I couldn't help but become curious about Dain's past.

She tried to subtly inquire about it several times on the way, but Dain remained tight-lipped and refused to utter a single word.

But this was news about her brother, so Ying didn't care about anything else and asked directly.

Dain fell silent for a long while before finally saying, "It's just that we had these experiences in the past. As for my past, you'll understand later."

"Didn't you ever think about taking a break? You look exhausted." Ying saw that Dain didn't want to talk, and knew that pressing him further would be pointless.

She glanced at Dain, who was deep in thought, and thought he looked like a weathered old man.

"Take a break, that's a good suggestion. I'll go home and rest after I finish what I need to do."

Dain emerged from her reverie, a rare gentleness appearing on her face.

“Home…” Paimon lowered her head and pondered, muttering to herself, “When Ying finds her family, let’s settle down and have a home too!”

"The Wanmin Restaurant in Liyue is nice, and the Fisherman's Toast in Mondstadt is delicious... It's so hard to choose." Before the journey was even over, Paimon was already thinking about where to go.

"Why don't you do what I did and buy a house in every place? Now that we have houses in Liyue and Mondstadt, let's try to buy one in each of the other countries."

Ember offered his suggestion.

Unfortunately, Ying's financial situation did not allow it.

“No, Paimon costs me 300,000 Mora a month just for food, plus other expenses, so I save money very slowly.”

As she spoke, Ying grabbed Paimon and began to roughly knead him.

"My guide is so good, and I only cost 300,000 Mora a month? That's such a good deal!" Paimon argued in Ying's arms.

"This is the first time I've ever met a useless guide." Ying rubbed Paimon's face before letting her go.

Buying a hand warmer for 300,000 yuan is not bad.

"Anywhere is fine, as long as it's not here," Tvalin said, blowing on his nails as he finished trimming them.

“Nobody else would build a house in a place like this except you,” Paimon said, hands on his hips, looking disgusted.

The Wind Dragon Ruins are a place no human should live in. It's only because Dvalin is a dragon that he can live here comfortably.

Ying also seemed to agree, but just as she was about to say something, a sudden, unstoppable throbbing arose in her heart.

That aura was so familiar that Ying couldn't ignore it at all.

She stared wide-eyed and quickly looked up at a cliff, but there was nothing there except for sparse grass and gray-blue rocks.

"What's wrong?!" Paimon was the first to notice Ying's unusual behavior and immediately asked anxiously.

“There’s a familiar scent there.” Ying’s voice was tinged with excitement.

"Since it's a familiar scent, let's go take a look."

Dain looked in the direction Ying was looking, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

He pointed to the wind field in front of the cliff and said, "Perfect, I have a deep impression of that place and know how to get there."

"Have you forgotten something?" Just as Dain and the others were about to move forward in a hurry, they were stopped by Ember.

"Tvarin."

"Here it is~"

Dvalin looked reluctant, but he still pressed his body down.

"Get on, hold on tight. I'm not responsible if you fall."

Chapter 349 Mechanical Master

2023-12-12

"call!"

The shadow of the dragon has reappeared in the Wind Dragon Ruins, but this time it is not for destruction.

On the edge of the ruins, where a fierce wind swirled, a giant dragon descended, and several figures stepped off its windswept back.

"How does it feel? You've never ridden the East Wind Dragon before, have you?" Ember jumped off Dvalin's back and said to Dain beside him.

"An unforgettable experience." Dain savored the feeling of soaring through the sky, which was indeed more memorable than traveling underground.

Of course, it's also possible that he simply spent too much time underground.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now!" Dvalin glanced at the glowing figure rushing forward on the ground, and before Ember could respond, he flapped his wings and flew away.

He had to leave quickly, lest Yu Jin really cause him any trouble.

"Running so fast? I haven't even said if you're alright!" Seeing that Dvalin looked so hurried, Yu Jin didn't bother him any further.

It must have been really tiring for Dvalin to build the house all by himself, after all, a dragon's house seems to be unique in the world.

"Can a dragon that rides the east wind forget its past duties because of the erosion of the abyss..." Dain looked at Dvalin disappearing into the distance, and gained a deeper understanding of the danger of the abyss.

Judging from his experience in the sky just now, Dvalin's strength is extraordinary. Even the dragon that controls the winds can be corrupted by the abyss, which shows how dangerous it is.

"Why are there so many big footprints here?" Ember ignored Dain, who was lost in his memories. He squatted down and pointed to the huge footprints on the ground.

Why does this look so familiar?

Yu Jin carved his own footprint deep into the ground and compared it with the large footprint on the ground.

It's so big, and it's wandering around the Wind Dragon Ruins, so there's only one possibility.

The owner of this footprint is...

“Ruin ​​Guardian,” Dain blurted out. He was very familiar with everything in Kanria, and with just a quick glance, Dain knew that this was the mark left by the Ruin Guardian.

Ignoring Ember, who was still pondering something, Dain followed the footprints step by step toward Luminous's location.

He looked around, and the scenery was almost the same as when he last came.

"Well? Have you noticed anything wrong? Nothing seems to have changed since the last time I was here," Dain said casually as he walked up to Ying.

"Dain, you've been here before?" Paimon thought Dain was really well-traveled, having been to all sorts of places.

“That happened a long time ago,” Dain chuckled. Then he saw Ember measuring something with a ruler around the footprints.

"What are you doing again?" Dain saw the ruler in Yu Jin's hand, but he had already automatically ignored these things that shouldn't be there.

"I'm trying to figure out what model of ruins guard it is."

"You can do this too?"

Paimon was more surprised than Dain.

No matter how she thought about it, she felt that Yu Jin was completely immune to such things.

Yu Jin didn't speak; he wanted to prove himself with his strength!

"Hurry up, Alex! Aren't you a mechanic? Why are you taking so long to recognize footprints?"

While crouching on the cliff of the Wind Dragon Ruins, Ember tortured Alex inside the machine factory.

"What's the rush? These models are all too old, I need to check them!"

Inside the factory, Alex stared intently at the screen floating in front of him, his hands clapping loudly as he typed on the keyboard.

On the pale blue screen was a huge pile of mechanical blueprints that made one's scalp crawl.

Ember knew at a glance that this wasn't something he should touch. So he promptly urged Alex to hurry up.

After a fierce battle, Alex wiped the sweat from his brow. At this point, his reputation as a mechanical designer in Canria was saved.

"This is the third-generation military tillage machine of the Canria, codenamed: Iron Plow..." ×2

Ember and Alex almost simultaneously recited the data of the tiller to which the footprints belonged, leaving Paimon and Dain, who were standing nearby, completely stunned.

Paimon was confused, but Dain quickly grasped the situation. Many of the terms Ember used were technical terms, known only to the Kanriyans.

Only atheistic kingdoms need to protect themselves; the seven kingdoms on earth have the protection of gods.

People on Earth naturally don't need to understand these obscure and difficult-to-understand complex mechanical knowledge, which ultimately makes them even less powerful than those of someone with the Eye of God.

However, Dain knew that as the former captain of the palace guard, he was well aware of the armed forces of Kanria.

Of course, it's only for general understanding, nothing like the detailed information provided by Ember.

Only then did Dain patiently recall the details of the Ember: his entire body shrouded in armor, his deep knowledge of Kanria, and the occasional hint of incongruity amidst his playful laughter...

It turns out he was also a lost citizen of Kanria!

Thinking of this, Dain stepped forward and excitedly patted Ember on the shoulder. He wanted to say, "Hello, fellow countryman," but in the end, he said nothing.

The people of Kanria are sinners under the order of the heavens and must carefully hide themselves.

The thought that he wasn't the only survivor in Kanria made Dain feel much more at ease.

Perhaps the fact that someone else is now taking on the burdens of his lost homeland gives him some relief.

"???"

"Did you take the wrong medicine?" Yu Jin was completely baffled by the barely concealed excitement on Dai Yin's face.

What's going on? He just wanted to show off. Could it be that Dain was captivated by his extensive knowledge?

"Phew... I lost my composure." Dain realized his behavior was inappropriate, and after calming down a bit, he returned to normal.

Upon closer reflection, even if Ember is a Kanria, so what? The possibility of Kanria's restoration is gone, and he can't possibly relinquish his duty to the Abyss Order to someone else.

Thinking about it this way, it seems like it's just a psychological comfort.

"Live well, your optimism is good, don't be like me." Dain rarely smiled at Ember, he said a few words earnestly, and then turned to walk towards Firefly.

Although fellow villagers are important, the sister of an old friend is equally important.

As Ember watched Dain's departing figure, he felt utterly bewildered. Was there some misunderstanding between them?

Ember felt he needed to explain things to Dain sometime.

……

Ying followed the footprints on the cliff, away from Dain, away from Ember, and away from Paimon, who was always by her side. Now she just wanted to walk alone.
