The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

"Why is there so much lava under Inazuma?" Yu Jin was also startled. This was originally meant to prevent any of the captured Fools from escaping, but the stragglers stepped on it first.

This made Yu Jin realize the power of scorching lava in Inazuma; it seems he can't use such things casually in the future.

Seeing the young master stunned by the scene before him, Yu Jin suddenly slapped him on the back of the head.

"How long can your sixth seat last in the lava? Can you last until you finish watching? If you don't want your seat to move up one rank, hurry up and pull him out!"

"I...I understand!" Yu Jin's words brought the young master back to his senses. He nodded belatedly and ran towards the distant lava churning.

He didn't really want the stragglers to die, because if they did, the Fools would lose one of their high-level combatants, and it wouldn't help him get promoted either.

The latter was the real reason he didn't want the scattered soldiers to die.

The executors of the Fools were not promoted, but fought their way up.

While Kanoin Heizo and the young master went to rescue the people, Yu Jin was not idle either. He looked at the corpses of the Fools lying on the ground and moved them further away from the shore.

He originally intended to turn all these fools into organic fertilizer to add some nutrients to the barren land of Ba Yun Island.

But now that there are executives here, and I happen to be quite "familiar" with them, I should be able to persuade them.

Yu Jin looked down at his dark fist and nodded in satisfaction.

It's not just that it should be possible, it's that it absolutely is!

Chapter 439: Abandoning Darkness and Turning to Light

2024-01-22

"boom!"

"Clang clang."

Two bodies, one large and one small, were thrown on the ground. One was engulfed in crimson flames, while the other was covered in exposed mechanical parts, making it look quite bizarre.

"Are you Fools' Enforcers not human?" Ember asked the young master, turning to him as he saw the corpses of the woman and the stragglers lying on the ground.

“Uh…” The young master scratched his head. He originally wanted to say “No!” decisively, but upon closer thought, it seemed that most of the executives really weren’t human.

This caused the young master to fall silent. After a long silence, he weakly defended himself, saying, "At least I am still a pure human being."

This made Kanoin Heizo, who was standing nearby, twitch his ears. Most of the executive officers weren't human? This was information not found in the books.

So, ignoring his blistered hands, he quickly wrote it down. As for how the blisters on Kanoin Heizo's hands got, all I can say is that the lady's body temperature was ridiculously high; even a slight touch could burn him.

"What's the point of talking about this? Just tell me, what do you want to do? This time... I... I don't want to admit defeat!"

As the young master spoke, he knelt on the ground. He had just stepped onto the rice paddy when he was caught by the embers. He wished he was in a dream, or at least that he had run back to Zhidong.

Unfortunately, he ended up following the lady and the stragglers to Inazuma.

The young master looked up at the sky, raising his hands above his head, almost bursting into tears.

"Little Deer, show me the evidence!"

"no problem!"

At Yu Jin's command, Kanoin Heizo pulled out a large pile of documents he had taken from the Evil Eye Factory.

"This is your Fools' plans at the Evil Eye Factory..."

"These are your evaluations of the Evil Eye's effects..."

"These are the accounts you forcibly seized..."

……

One piece of evidence after another was posted by Kanoin Heizo, including not only firsthand evidence but also evidence deduced by Kanoin Heizo himself.

This is a case of having both witnesses and physical evidence; there's no way to deny it.

"Now you know why I intercepted your attack, right?" Yu Jin walked to the young master's side and said condescendingly.

The young master looked at the large, white documents on the ground. Although they were white, the events recorded on them were filthy.

After watching for a while, the young master gave up on the idea of ​​arguing. He fell to the ground, covered his ears with his hands, and wriggled around like an eel.

"Ahhh! Don't tell me, tell them I'm not very bright, and all I do is menial work like collecting debts. Just tell me what you want me to do!"

As the young master arched his back, he pointed to the woman lying dead beside him and the stragglers.

Compared to his colleagues, he was never as bright, so he was always assigned menial tasks like collecting debts for the Northern Bank.

Even his attempt to steal the Geo Archon's Heart in Liyue was a smokescreen by the Lady, so you can imagine his reputation within the Executive.

In fact, besides being called "Prince," Tadalia also had another title: "Captain."

It wasn't the powerful "captain" of the Fools' Clan, but the debt collectors' captain. Because he was always there to collect debts, and because he was so capable, the debt collectors affectionately called him "captain."

Thinking of this, the young master's body contorted even more violently. He hadn't realized it before; how did he discover he was just a lowly laborer in the Fools' Clan?

"Alright, alright, get up!" Yu Jin grabbed the young master and lifted him up. "Now is your chance to make amends. Carry all these people away!"

Ember pointed to the unconscious Fools on the ground and began to order the young master around without any politeness.

"Where to?" the young master asked, his face ashen, as he carried one of the fools under one arm.

“There’s a platform I set up inside.” Yu Jin and Shiroin Heizo were not idle either. They picked up the Fools on the ground and ran away.

……

"Ugh... Where am I?" The woman opened her eyes. She remembered that in the last moment before she lost consciousness, a piercing heat came from her back, which actually made her, the Flame Witch, faint.

"Oh, your strength isn't up to par. The other one woke up before you." Yu Jin looked down at the lady and pointed to the upright young master and the stragglers standing behind him.

It must be said that the training of the Fools was quite thorough. At Ember's command, "Winter Soldiers, stand at attention!", the young master and the stragglers stood straighter than pine trees.

This made the woman give up on the idea of ​​escaping. Her two colleagues were already in such a state, what was the point of her struggling? She herself was no better than the young master and the scattered soldiers.

"Stand still in front, I have something to say." After giving this casual instruction, Yu Jin ran straight towards the wooden platform not far away.

However, this time he did not go up directly, but stood on one side of the wooden platform.

He waved for the people nearby to disperse, then turned to face the throng of people and threw a punch at the wooden platform.

"Oh!"

Wood chips flew everywhere, dirt splashed, and a powerful shockwave swept across the surroundings, causing many weaker individuals to fall to the ground.

Once everything calmed down, what appeared before everyone's eyes was a huge trench that stretched to the horizon.

“At first, I tried to say nice things to you, but you wouldn’t listen. So now I don’t want to say nice things anymore.”

"I hereby declare that from this day forward, you shall be renamed the 'Fools' Post-War Reconstruction Brigade'!"

"Let these three be your leaders. Who agrees? Who objects?"

Yu Jin pointed to the young master and the others at the front and shouted loudly.

"Gulu..."

Apart from the sounds of swallowing saliva and inhaling, no other sounds were heard.

"Great, no objections, then I'll take that as agreement!"

Seeing that no one objected, Yu Jin nodded in satisfaction. It was indeed easier to use force; he wouldn't resort to soft tactics.

"But the war isn't over yet!" someone below asked.

Upon hearing this, Yu Jin slammed a thick stack of papers down on the table, saying, "Isn't this all your doing?"

The man immediately fell silent, presumably "convinced" by the overwhelming amount of evidence.

After all, this evidence weighs over ten kilograms, which is quite heavy.

"No, as long as General Raiden doesn't intervene, even without us, Haiqi Island will not fail."

The stragglers said a few words, refuting Ember's words.

Haiqi Island has now taken in a large number of escaped God's Eye owners, and its strength is no longer what it used to be.

Even without the aid of the Fools, the Shogunate army, with its advantageous terrain, will not be able to take over Kaigi Island in a short time.

"At least then there wouldn't be so much trouble!" Ember said he didn't want to argue with the stragglers. The Fools' Greed and Inazuma's Civil War were inevitable.

Upon hearing this, the stragglers fell silent, mainly because they were afraid that if they spoke again, Yu Jin would give them a severe beating.

"Alright, then what should we do now?" The young master shrugged, looking utterly dejected.

The Fools' Reconstruction Brigade after the war? That sounds pretty awesome.

"What do you want me to do?" Yu Jin stroked his chin and pondered. To be honest, he just wanted the Fools to clean up the mess they had made. As for what exactly they wanted me to do, he hadn't really thought about it.

As Yu Jin pondered, he looked around and noticed the withered plants nearby. Suddenly, an idea struck him.

"Since the war won't end anytime soon, you should start by delivering food to the civilians!"

"Wait until they've eaten their fill, then we can do something else!"

Ember clapped his hands, suddenly feeling that having the Fools do this was absolutely perfect.

The Fools have strongholds throughout Inazuma and are not short of money. If they could use the energy they have for evil deeds to transport grain, they could definitely improve the lives of the people in Inazuma.

"Let's go, let's hurry up and go to Haiqi Island to talk to the boss there. I'm a genius!"

Once he had the idea, Yu Jin couldn't wait to talk to the ruler of Haizhi Island.

Chapter 440 True Ice Crossing the Sea

"Keep up, everyone! If you fall behind and get haunted by evil spirits, I won't be responsible!"

On a narrow path on Ba Yun Island, a dense crowd was walking. These were none other than Ember and his Fools!

However, unlike the excitement emanating from Ember, the Fools behind him, whether ordinary soldiers or executive officers, were all dejected, looking like wilted eggplants.

Standing in the middle of the group, Kanoin Heizo looked up at Ember, who was gesturing wildly at the front, then turned his head to look at the silent Fatui around him, and then he pinched his thigh hard.

"hiss!"

Kanoin Heizo rubbed his aching inner thigh. This wasn't a dream; it was real!
