The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

The Fools were actually led by the nose by others!

“Having power really does allow you to do whatever you want.” Kanoin Heizo shook his head helplessly as he recalled the endless ravines and collapsed mountains on Hachiun Island.

Having power makes things easier. Even the Fools became more agreeable with him after he raised his fist.

Squeezing through the crowd, Kanoin Heizo ran to Yu Jin's side: "Where are we going?"

“Where else could we go? Haiqi Island! Didn’t you hear what I just said?” Yu Jin replied without hesitation.

He looked down at Kanoin Heizo. Could it be that the great detective's hearing is actually not very good?

"I heard you. Aren't we going to do some kind of post-war reconstruction? Why go to Umijima first? There are more people on the shogunate side, and the lives of ordinary people there aren't necessarily much better than on Umijima."

"Isn't Haiji Island closer? Why don't you call a few ships and send these people to Narukami Island?"

Yu Jin's words left Kanoin Heizo speechless. Seeing the embarrassed Kanoin Heizo scratching his head, he waved his hand and said earnestly:

"Little Deer, what are you worried about? Are you worried that I'll be prejudiced against the people of the Shogunate?"

As he spoke, Yu Jin pulled out his scoring notebook and opened it: "Look, the rebels' score is lower than the shogunate's. Why would I favor Haiji Island?"

"I'm just asking because of my profession!" Heizo Shinoin shrank back and replied apologetically.

No matter what, he was a loyal follower of the Tenryo Regime, and naturally had some bias towards the Shogunate.

"You two have talked for so long, you must know how we cross the sea, right?"

The woman's cool voice came from behind Yu Jin. He looked up and realized that they had reached the coastline of Bayun Island.

The boundless sea surged with waves, leaving white specks on the beach.

"Right, that does seem to be a problem." Yu Jin looked back and saw a dense crowd of people. If these people were all going on an "oceanic swim," there would probably be far fewer of them.

Now Ember only hates that the Winter Queen is too stingy, unwilling to give each of the Fools a Divine Eye.

If one had the eye of God, such a short distance would be no problem at all.

"Let's go to the rebels' base; they should have a considerable number of warships there."

“Explain our purpose to them, and they will agree to lend us the warship,” Kanoin Heizo suggested to Ember.

"Hmph, do you think they'd believe that? At such a sensitive time, you come to borrow warships? And it's the Fools who are coming to borrow them?"

The woman scoffed; she knew the Fools' reputation all too well. The rebel commander would likely never believe the Fools were there to do charity.

Even if they believed it, they wouldn't lend them the warships. There are hundreds of people here; if they borrow the ships, how will they defend against the Shogunate's navy?

"Then what do you suggest?" Yu Jin actually thought that Kanoin Heizo's method was not bad. Since the lady had said so, she must have some brilliant plan.

Upon hearing this, the lady's beautiful eyes flickered, and then she said logically, "If you ask me, we can use what we have here. It's such a short distance anyway, we don't need such a good boat."

"With a little milling and splicing of the wood, a boat that can pass through can be built very quickly."

The woman nodded as she spoke, seemingly pleased with her method.

“I think you’re trying to take this opportunity to escape.” Yu Jin glanced at the sparse vegetation on Bayun Island and saw through the lady’s ulterior motives.

If the fools were allowed to use what they had on hand, some might end up taking it to other islands.

"Good intentions are wasted!" The woman took a few steps back and turned her head away.

"How did they see through me? Is there something wrong with my acting?" Her eyes flickered as she reflected on whether she had acted too fakely somewhere.

Unfortunately, Ember saw through the lady's intuition, and no matter how much she reflected, it was useless.

"Why don't you let the young master carry you over one by one?" Yu Jin said, seeing the lady's guilty look.

"Huh? Why are you mentioning me? This guy's pretty good too! He flies way faster than me."

The young master, who was playing tic-tac-toe with the soldiers nearby, looked up and immediately betrayed his colleague.

"You talk too much! You talk too much!" The soldier swung his hand and hit the young master's head a few times, but the latter dodged it.

Originally, seeing the lady take the lead, he wanted to hide his abilities and try to avoid being noticed by Yu Jin.

For this reason, the stragglers even played this ridiculous little game with the young master for the first time ever. Unexpectedly, when the young master was brought up, he immediately stabbed them out without the slightest hesitation.

Seeing the state of the soldiers and the young master, the woman leaned against a nearby tree. She clutched her chest, breathing heavily, looking as if she were having a heart attack.

That's pretty much true. The woman felt that if she continued to work with these two guys, it wasn't impossible for her to have a heart attack one day.

"Alright, alright, just kidding. If it were really you two, who knows how long you'd be fighting." Yu Jin waved his hand and stepped on both the young master and the stragglers.

Upon hearing this, the two men felt a surge of anger. In all their years as executives, this was the first time someone had mocked them.

But their anger quickly dissipated, because they remembered Ember's strength. It seemed there was nothing shameful about being trampled on by Ember.

Stepping onto the shore, Yu Jin stroked his chin and then said to the crowd, "Point me to which direction Haiqi Island is."

“It should be in this direction.” Kanoin Heizo pointed to a spot on the sea level.

"Alright, watch me!"

Ember lowered his hand, and a staff inlaid with star-shaped amber appeared in his palm.

Feeling the numerous gazes behind him, Ember suddenly felt a little embarrassed—the spell he was about to cast had a rather peculiar casting motion.

Specifically, the casting animation is very alluring.

Yu Jin held a staff, and moonlight showered down upon him. He himself crossed his arms, like a nimble fish, slowly curling into a ball in mid-air.

Lani's Dark Moon—Queen Kalia's symbolic magic, one of the "legendary spells".

It can summon the cold, dark moon to descend upon itself, and the moon will fly towards the enemy. The dark moon can nullify all magic it touches, and the character hit will temporarily have their magic damage reduction rate reduced.

Guided by her mother, Renara, young Lani encounters the moon—a cold, dark, and mysterious moon.

The moonlight emanating from Yu Jin grew brighter as he curled up, and when he was completely huddled up, a cold, dark, and mysterious full moon appeared out of nowhere in the sky.

The dark moon descended from the sky; it wasn't very large, but it was enough to take one's breath away.

The dark moon, gushing forth with coldness and moonlight, fell into the sea, instantly bringing the crashing waves to a halt.

The dark moon, suspended above the sea, swayed slightly, as if awaiting further instructions.

"What are you standing there for? Let's go!"

The embers landed from the ground, addressing both the dark moon on the sea and the fools on the shore.

Chapter 441 Look how big and round the moon is.

2024-01-23

"call--"

On the horizon, a huge yet clear dark moon cuts through the sea breeze, freezes the seawater, and marches relentlessly into the distance.

Behind the dark moon lies a thick, frosty white ice bridge.

"Hurry up and keep up, I won't be responsible if you fall into the sea!"

The sound of Ember's shouts came from ahead again, which made Kanoin Heizo feel a little dazed. Had he heard almost the same words before?

"Tap! Tap! Tap!" Shinoin Heizo stomped his feet as he ran—he had to stomp his feet, the ice left by the moon was too cold, he couldn't stand it if he didn't.

Not only him, but everyone else's stomping was no quieter than his; the "clattering" of their feet replaced the crashing of the waves, becoming the only sound on the sea.

Looking at the dark moon in the distance, the crater above it is clearly visible, yet it is also strangely deep, as if it can devour the mind of anyone who looks at it.

“&#$!” Accompanied by an inaudible sob, Kanoin Heizo shook his head. He recalled the details of the dark moon before him, trying to compare it with the moon in the sky.

But when he actually tried to make comparisons in his mind, he suddenly realized that he knew absolutely nothing about the moon in this world.

"How is this possible?!" Kanoin Heizo's pupils contracted. He stopped and looked up at the sky.

Unfortunately, it was daytime, and there was only the sun in the sky, which was too bright to look directly at. There was no moon to be seen.

Heizo Kanoin tried to search his memory for descriptions of the moon, but the more he thought, the more horrified he became to discover that there wasn't a single book that described the moon.

There's not even a description of the sun, let alone the moon. It seems all the scholars of Teyvat have tacitly refrained from studying any of the secrets of the starry sky.

“The starry sky…” The detective’s duty and professionalism drove Heizo Kanoin to investigate the secrets behind all this.

Just as Kanoin Heizo was pondering the secrets of the moon, the sun, and the starry sky, the Eye of God at his waist glowed.

A tiny blue light flickered at Shinoin Heizo's waist, but the latter was completely unaware of it.

Heizo Kanoin's mind seemed to have been detached, and he didn't even notice that a corner of his body was beginning to become transparent.

"Hey, the Eye of God is pretty!"

Yu Jin grabbed the Eye of God from Hirai Kanoin's waist, and its light dimmed instantly.

"Hmm? The Eye of God." Shinoin Heizo snapped out of his reverie, glanced at the green stone in Ember's hand, and pursed his lips: "Ember, you probably don't need this thing."

“It’s true that I don’t need it. I’ve heard that the Eye of God only appears because of a wish, and I don’t have any wishes.” Yu Jin returned the Eye of God to Heizo Kanoin.

"A wish... I do hope that my wish won't come true." Kanoin Heizo hung up the Eye of God, his expression turning somewhat gloomy.

"Since your wish can illuminate the eye of God, then don't waste the gods' recognition of you. Fulfill your wish first!"

Yu Jin patted Kanoin Heizo on the shoulder and said encouragingly.

"My wish... I doubt it will come true." Kanoin Heizo chuckled self-deprecatingly. Could his wish really be granted?

"Oh? What kind of wish is so grand?" Yu Jin became interested.

"Destroy all evil. Not specific evils, but the abstract collection of evils that hangs over the heads of all people."

Kanoin Heizo clenched his fists. He and this thing were natural enemies. Even if he couldn't completely destroy it, he would at least weaken it a little bit!

“This…” Yu Jin was somewhat taken aback; he had never even considered such a thought.

"Isn't that outrageous? But it's this very idea that has been approved by the gods." Kanoin Heizo also thought it was a bit of a fantasy.

"No! There's still a way!" Yu Jin waved his hand and offered advice to Kanoin Heizo: "Actually, you could research biotechnology and transform all humans into purely social animals like bees and ants!"

"What?!" Shinoin Heizo took a few steps back, looking at Ember with surprise and uncertainty. Was this the kind of thought an ordinary person could come up with?

"Just kidding." Yu Jin scratched his head, though he might be able to if he wanted to.

"Alright, since you have your own wishes, then take action. Maybe they'll come true?"

"Let's start with these fools!"

Yu Jin pointed to the distant island of Haiji and nudged Kanoin Heizo.
