The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

As a result, the campsite at the foot of Longji Snow Mountain has grown from a sparse area of ​​two or three people to a size that is almost like a small town.

"What is this?" At a small stall in the camp, Ember picked up a sweet flower and asked Sugar, who was looking a little shy.

"This is the octoploid Sweet Flower that I developed. Senior Yu Jin, you can take it if you want!"

Sugar's words provided an explanation for why this sweet flower is so special.

"Octoploid?!"

Yu Jin touched the sweet flower in his hand, which was about the size of a sunflower, and was somewhat shocked.

As expected of Abedo's apprentice, he easily accomplished what ordinary alchemists could not!

"Not bad, Sugar, you should keep it for yourself. Try to make something even bigger in the future!"

Yu Jin put the enormous sweet flower back. In just a short while, his palms were covered with nectar flowing from the octopus sweet flower's stamen.

"This is all thanks to the perfume bottle Mr. Ember sent." Sugar touched her animal ears a little shyly after hearing Ember's encouragement.

With her current skills, she can only cultivate tetraploid sweetflowers at most. As for the octoploid, that still depends on the perfume bottle.

This small perfume bottle seems to have been made specifically for holding plants and their extracts.

Perfume bottles can activate the plant matter within them, which is a perfect complement to sugar, which specializes in bio-alchemy.

"Is that so? Then you're quite impressive yourself." Yu Jin understood immediately.

Perfumers are somewhat similar to sugar, but they focus more on how to combine various substances in plants to create a variety of wonderful uses.

Sugar is used to study the improvement of plant traits.

In Yu Jin's view, they were all pretty much the same, both good things.

"Bye-bye, try to get a sixteen-fold body!" In the distance, Ember waved to Sugar and left.

Walking through the camp, Dain looked at Ember, who was occasionally responding to others, and felt somewhat out of place.

"You seem to be quite popular?" After another round of pleasantries, Dain asked Ember, who was still waving.

Ember stopped what he was doing and said with obvious pride, "Of course, if Mondstadt had a reputation ranking system, I would definitely be in the highest tier!"

His reputation as a senior is well-deserved!

"Impressive," Dain replied casually.

"You flatter me." Yu Jin nodded and led Dain away from the camp and into the snow-capped mountains.

As Dai Yin stepped onto the thin green ground of the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain, looking at the faint golden light that was everywhere in the mountains, she was momentarily lost in thought.

He had been to Longji Snow Mountain, but back then the snow mountain was no different from a dead land; there were no animals or people to be seen.

but now……

Din could see several expedition teams made up of little green men with just a quick glance.

Even the snow-capped mountains have become lively.

Dain and Ember walked through the mountains. The golden light cascading down from the trees spread evenly and without any variation, making one forget the passage of time as they walked among it.

"We've finally arrived. This snow-capped mountain is still so high."

The narrow rock face opened up, revealing a huge tree that almost filled their entire field of vision... and a small tent at the foot of the tree.

"Ta-da! Abedo, the chief alchemist of Mondstadt, is here!" Ember ran to the front of the camp, grabbed Abedo who came out of the tent, and introduced him to Dain.

“This is your mother’s fellow villager,” Yu Jin whispered to Abedo.

Abedo's eyes widened instantly as he stared at Dain before him. Mysterious and dark were his first impressions of Dain.

He bears some resemblance to his irrational "brothers".

“Dain. Your mother is…” Dain withdrew his gaze from the Golden Tree and extended his hand to Abedo.

Life created by alchemists? Dain recalled the advanced alchemical technology of Kanria and thought that although it was amazing, it was not impossible.

However, since they were able to create androids that were almost identical to humans, their alchemical skills must be among the best in the entire Kanria.

He might still remember.

Dain wouldn't mind helping Abedo, who was considered half a descendant of Canria.

“Rheindorf,” Abedo said casually, uttering the name of his irresponsible mentor and mother.

He then felt an extremely sharp aura rushing towards him.

"Such a big reaction? Do you have a grudge against that Rhine-Dortmund?" Ember poked Dain's cheek as he noticed the cloak behind him fluttering without wind.

She's pretty tough; she can maintain a blank expression even while gritting her teeth. Ember admires Dain's ability to manage her expressions.

Ember immediately deflated Dain's confidence; the dark blue cloak behind him stopped flowing, and his clenched fists relaxed.

Dain slapped away Ember's outstretched fingers and let out a breath.

"Phew... I'm sorry, I lost my composure a bit."

"I don't know your mother." Seeing that Abedo was about to ask what she looked like, Dain stopped him in time.

He genuinely didn't know Rheindorf. Although his title as captain of the palace guard sounded impressive, he was actually just a security captain.

He is far inferior to someone like Rheindorf, who could influence King Canria.

"Is that so? It seems that even news about her is so hard to find."

Aberdo gave a few bitter laughs. "Master, oh Master, where are you?"

Chapter 353 The Repeater

2023-12-14

"Are you looking for her?" Dain looked at Abedo, who had a pen tucked behind his ear and a notebook in his hand, with some doubt.

This doesn't look like someone looking for someone.

“Hmm…” Abedo remembered Rheindorf’s words before he left, and the wrinkles on his face deepened.

"More or less, but the chances are slim."

Abelardo sighed; he hadn't even scratched the surface of the "truth about the world."

“But we can’t give up, can we?” Dain inexplicably felt a bit of goodwill towards Abedo.

Perhaps this can be considered a form of shared misfortune?

“That’s true. But let’s not talk about that now…” Abedo nodded, then, as if remembering something, turned and called out to the distant embers:

"Ember—, there's something wrong with the fruit from the Golden Tree."

Ember, who was playfully interacting with the branches of the golden tree, looked up and said, "What? You're done talking? Shouldn't people from the same hometown be moved to tears when they meet? Where are your tears?"

"I don't think Mr. Dai and I are from the same hometown, do we?" Abedo remarked.

He was created by Rhinedoth after the Cataclysm, so at best, he can only be considered half a descendant of Canria.

"As far as I know, this is Liyue slang. I'm not from Liyue, so it doesn't apply to me." Dain crossed her arms and twitched her lips.

Tears welling up in his eyes? Dain hadn't even looked like that when Kanria was destroyed, let alone when he just met a rather peculiar Abedo.

"Okay, what is it? Say it again, I was just playing with the Golden Tree, I didn't hear you clearly." Yu Jin pressed down with his large hand, pushing down the Golden Tree's outstretched branches.

“Let’s go up to the tree and take a look. It’s a bit hard to explain.” After thinking for a moment, Abedo led Ember and Dain toward the trunk of the Golden Tree.

The massive tree trunk drew ever closer, its golden veins becoming increasingly clear, drawing the eye.

Dain came to the base of the tree trunk and looked up at the sky. Beyond the endless golden ocean, he could see nothing at all.

Even the Sky Island, which had always floated high in the sky, disappeared under this radiance.

"What exactly is this thing?" Dain reached out and touched the trunk of the golden tree; it felt just like an ordinary tree.

Just as he was stunned, a suction force came from his palm that was in contact with the golden tree, and Dain found that his power was being devoured by the tree in front of him.

"Hiss—" Dain immediately pulled his hand back, and the suction force disappeared.

"What's going on?" Abedo looked at Dain's strange behavior in surprise. He had never seen the Golden Tree react like this to anyone else.

"No, it's nothing, it just might not like my scent." Dain said, taking a few steps back.

"Actually, no, it's just that the Golden Tree is hungry and wants to eat." Yu Jin, with his back to the two of them, dug a hole in the ground. After throwing something in, he quickly filled it in.

Abedo glanced at it out of the corner of his eye; it seemed to be an indescribable mass of pitch black and fleshy red.

Rubbing his eyes, Abedo decided it was better to forget about those things.

Yu Jin clapped his hands first, then walked over and patted the tree trunk.

"This is all the food I have left. If you get hungry in the future, you'll have to figure it out yourself."

"call--"

For some reason, Dain and Abedo seemed to hear a sigh, and under the influence of this sigh, they felt that the golden light of the Golden Tree seemed to have dimmed considerably.

"Why are you sighing? When you grow up, you'll have to find your own food! By the way, there are a lot of things underground. You can explore a bit deeper. I reckon you can eat quite a lot."

"At worst, I'll allow you to make a small opening, as long as nothing leaks in."

"Whoo~"

The sigh seemed to bring some relief, but it was still disheartening.

There's nothing you can do about being frustrated. The golden tree just wants to eat "meat," and as for its appetite...

Is there anything in Teyvat that can rival the Golden Tree's appetite? Ember has reservations.

This door must not be opened; if it is, everything will be over. Then the embers won't even have anywhere to have fun.

"Ember seems... to be quite familiar with this tree? Also, how can a person communicate with a tree?" Dain found it somewhat magical to see Ember communicating with the golden tree without any hindrance.

How does Ember know so much? The Golden Tree didn't say anything. Well, if the illusory voice I heard earlier counts as speaking.

"He planted this tree. You've never seen a golden tree grow; it's practically a miracle."

Abedo saw the embers being discussed with the Golden Tree and sighed.

Do gods possess such terrifying abilities? Abelardo had never seen one, so let's assume they do.

"However, if you're talking about communicating with the Golden Tree, I can do that too."
