The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

"Your treatment method is quite novel." Yu Jin saw that Tuan Gui Liu was wrapped up all over, and remembered the corpses he had seen in the cemetery before.

Many corpses liked to bind themselves tightly with bandages or similar items, which left Ember puzzled.

However, he was too lazy to investigate further, since it wouldn't stop Ember from rummaging through the graveyard anyway.

"Novelty is nothing, usefulness is what matters!" Washizu patted his chest confidently after hearing Ember's words.

This was a treatment plan that he and Baoben had discussed and researched for a long time. Although it was a bit strange, it used the least amount of medication and had the greatest therapeutic effect.

Washizu can guarantee with his integrity that the evil spirit within Dankiroku's body will be completely eliminated within two days.

Of course, he and his team still don't have a solution for "minor" problems like hair growing or horns developing.

"We won't have to go through all this trouble anymore." Yu Jin looked at the swords and blades standing at the foot of the golden tree and suddenly felt a toothache.

"If this continues, this place could become a scrap metal smelting plant."

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Washizu also felt that this was not a good idea. Putting aside the potential damage to the Golden Tree, the sheer number of swords that were scrapped was enough to break the village's heart.

This was during wartime; the village's crystallized bone marrow was used to exchange for other, more useful things.

It's already quite difficult to set aside even a small amount specifically for forging weapons.

"that's it!"

The embers used the mud on the ground to create a concave disc, which looked like a reflection of the stars and the moon.

Of course, this is only how Ember sees it. To others, it's just a mud plate.

After sculpting the makeshift altar, Ember placed two empty chalice bottles on it.

"If nothing unexpected happens, one of these two bottles should be red and the other blue."

"Red is for treating physical ailments; blue is for treating mental ailments. As for treating mental illnesses..."

Yu Jin pondered whether the evil god had a problem with his brain or his mind.

"You two can use them together!" Yu Jin waved his hand. Why think so much? With both methods working together, he refused to believe they wouldn't get better!

"What an amazing thing!" The bandaged Tuan Guiliu stared at the empty Holy Grail bottle at his feet, filled with curiosity.

"Amazing, isn't it? But I have no idea when these two bottles will be filled. You'll have to see what this guy decides."

Ember pointed to the bare trunk of the golden tree and said.

The countless golden fragments flew out of the air, perfectly avoiding the open openings of the two chalice bottles.

It seems that Golden Tree has a lot of opinions about Hikimura.

"What does it mean?" Washizu looked up at the golden snowflakes falling from the sky.

Perhaps because it was too blatant to target Washizu, the falling debris from the golden tree did not avoid his body.

The golden shards fell onto Washizu, transforming into a barely perceptible warm current that seeped into him.

A single fragment might go unnoticed, but when countless snowflake-like fragments appeared together, Washizu immediately noticed the changes in his body.

He felt as if there was a furnace inside his body, constantly radiating heat and providing him with strength.

Washizu had the illusion that he could throw Dankiroku a hundred meters away with one hand!

Previously, this distance was fifty meters.

As a martial artist, how could Washi not understand the changes in his body? These golden fragments were strands of rare vitality.

This is an extremely rare opportunity for martial artists.

"I see, I understand now!" Washizu immediately realized what he should do. He clenched his fists, looking as if he understood something.

"What did you understand?" Seeing Washizu's imposing manner, Dan Oniroku wondered if Washizu had accidentally ingested some medicine powder while bandaging him and was hallucinating.

"Hiki Village should have built a public latrine a long time ago. I've decided, we'll build it here!" Washizu pointed to the base of the golden tree, full of enthusiasm.

"Excellent! Genius!"

Ember clapped his hands. "But this seems to be the center of the village. What village builds a toilet in the center?"

After praising it, Yu Jin pointed out a flaw in the Washizu plan.

"Um... well, I think we could move the village center away in the future." Washizu also thought this was a problem, but it wasn't important!

The village center can be moved, but the golden trees cannot.

As soon as Washizu finished speaking, the earth began to shake.

"Boom!"

To everyone's astonishment, the golden tree pulled its roots out of the ground and stretched its thick roots further and further away, disappearing into the distance in a flash.

"It seems the village center of Hikiki Village doesn't need to be moved." Yu Jin exclaimed as he ran to the deep pit on the ground.

This was the first time he had ever seen a golden tree that had escaped.

Chapter 413 Sneak Attack

2024-01-13

Late at night, Hishimura fell into silence.

Although the light of the golden tree is eternal, it is difficult to illuminate every corner of Hiki Village.

Not to mention that the golden tree had moved from the village center to the village entrance at dusk this day. This made the already poor lighting conditions in Hiki Village even worse.

Due to a lack of fuel, the villagers quickly ceased their activities after the last rays of sunlight faded.

Apart from the newly transplanted golden tree at the village entrance still radiating golden light, only a few embers remained on the watchtower built on the outskirts of the village.

This is also one of the few places in Hikimura equipped with high beams.

The high beams bought from the pirates emitted a bright light, forming several interwoven beams in the darkness, making them extremely conspicuous.

"How is it? Have you found out?" On the hillside outside Hikiki Village, dense shadows lay on the ground, seemingly blending into the darkness.

A figure darted swiftly from a distance, silently blending into the shadows.

"That runaway kid should be here."

The shadows shifted, and the figure that had just arrived stood before the leader, responding.

"Is this so..."

Nojima Kazunari closed his eyes slightly. Originally, if that guy had just died quietly, no one in the world would have known that they were the ones who broke the seal of the evil god.

But to their surprise, that guy ran away so fast that he left them far behind in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately, they were a small team composed of like-minded comrades from the resistance.

Soldiers from various squads were present, and naturally, many of them were skilled in tracking.

The fleeing shogunate soldier was fast, but he was seriously wounded and neither treated his wounds nor concealed his footsteps.

Such negligence meant that even the incessant rain on Bayun Island couldn't save him.

Nojima Kazunari shifted his body, looked down at Hishiki Village surrounded by watchtowers in the distance, and asked in a deep voice:

"How is the protection in this village?"

"Protection? It's very rudimentary. At most, it can only keep out mountain bandits. Not to mention us, even the Shogunate army couldn't defend against it."

The shadow spoke again, revealing the intelligence it had gathered.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he said hesitantly, "Captain Nojima, you wouldn't want to..."

“That’s right, there’s no one around here, you know that, don’t you?” Nojima’s face turned fierce, a hint of madness showing on his face shrouded in darkness.

"No! This village isn't small! We can't possibly wipe them all out; some will definitely escape!"

The shadow trembled slightly, then spoke rapidly.

"Are you hesitating, Anayama Nobuyoshi!" Nojima's voice rose a few decibels.

"No, I didn't." Anayama Nobuyoshi lowered his head.

"I was just pointing out the flaws in the plan," Nobuyoshi Anayama said again, as if in defense.

"Hehe, don't doubt the abilities of your squad comrades." Nojima Kazunari turned to look at the dozens of shadows lying behind him. These were his squad comrades who shared the ideal of "reviving the dignity of the Great God."

It was thanks to them that the plan to destroy the evil god was able to be carried out. Although the information from that coward named "Nathan" was also indispensable.

“What’s more… we have this!” Nojima Kazunari revealed a glass bead from his waist.

It was a glass bead that looked like an eye, but its color was much duller.

The Evil Eye, originally equipment issued to the elite of the Fools, has now appeared in the hands of the Rebels.

"Evil Eye, if you use it again, Captain Nojima, you..."

"Cough cough cough!" Before Anayama Nobuyoshi could finish speaking, Nojima Kazunari coughed violently.

After trembling several times, Nojima Kazunari opened his palm. Even though it was dark, Anayama Nobuyoshi could vaguely see the bright red mark on his palm.

"I don't have much time left. Before I die, I'll experience the thrill of those who possess the Eye of God, who can control the elements at will. That way, I won't have lived in vain."

Nojima Kazunari squeezed the blood from his palm, his eyes showing not the sorrow of a dying man, but rather a restless eagerness.

"Remember, die for the Great God!"

Kazushige Nojima raised his arm and rallied the crowd.

"I will die for the Great God!!!"

Seeing this, the shadows behind Nojima Kazunari also waved their arms, and when they looked at Hishikura again, it was no different from looking at the roadblock.

……

"Ha... Mori, what exactly is that big tree in the village? It actually started running today. Is it even still a tree?"

Okubo looked at the golden tree not far in front of the watchtower, yawned, and asked his partner, Mori Kenji, a question.

Yesterday, the area in front of the watchtower was completely empty, but today a large tree has appeared, and it seems to have come there on its own.

When Okubo saw this scene, he was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out.

"Shh...don't talk!" Mori Kenji's ears twitched as he shushed his burly partner.
