The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

"Our resistance army is disciplined and can't possibly be any worse than the pirates."

"See for yourself."

Yu Jin indicated that he didn't want to say anything more to her and simply threw the notebook in his hand at her.

Seeing Yu Jin's confident demeanor, Xin Hai didn't hesitate and immediately opened the notebook to check it.

"Hmm... the battlefield hasn't been cleaned up yet? This is really putting us in a difficult position. The resistance army has mostly been at a disadvantage in its battles against the shogunate army, and under these circumstances..."

When Xin Hai first saw the minor flaws in the notebook, she could still offer some explanations. But as she flipped through the pages, her explanations grew fainter and fainter.

In the end, even the usually calm and composed shrine maiden of the living world showed anger on her face.

But because of her position, she was trying her best to conceal her emotions. The silent anger beneath the calm was more terrifying than any direct expression on her face.

“Nathan? I think this is Saito, one of your squad leaders, right?” Xin Hai closed the notebook and gently pushed it back to Yu Jin’s side.

Hearing the angry tone in Xin Hai's voice, a burly man in red armor stepped forward and bowed carefully, saying:

"The... the current human god priestess, that is it."

"Since that's the case..." Xin Hai pondered for a moment, then sternly rebuked, "Saito Uchiyuki, I hereby temporarily strip you of your command token for the crime of poor military discipline. Do you have any objections?"

"M-Master." Upon hearing Shinkai's rebuke, Saito Yutaka immediately sat up in fear and quickly took a few steps back.

"Om-"

Just as Saito Yutaka's expression was conflicted, his colleague, who was also a rebel general, had somehow moved closer to him, drew his sword, and shook his head at him.

After his expression changed several times, Saito Yutaka finally lowered his head and placed his military tally and sword beside Shinkai, step by step.

"Alright, since you're cooperating so well, I certainly won't wrong you."

Shinkai saw Saito Yutaka obediently hand over the military tally and nodded.

"Capture Nathan of the Third Division and his subordinate Fish Squad. If he has indeed incited the destruction of the Judgment God and is also a spy for the Fools, then act according to the law."

"If not... then we should take this opportunity to thoroughly investigate any spies within the military and other possible oversights."

"How about this, Ember, and General Saito?"

After giving all the instructions, Xin Hai asked Yu Jin and Saito Naiyuki.

"So efficient? Fine, I won't interfere in your internal affairs. But I have a list of spies from the Fools here; you can do whatever you want with them."

"I will obey the command of the current human goddess priestess."

Yu Jin scratched his head. He hadn't expected that Coral Palace Xin Hai, who looked so gentle and weak, would act so decisively and swiftly.

So, right in front of the executive officer opposite him, he threw the list he had found at the Evil Eye Factory over there.

Glancing at the executive officer beside him, and seeing that all three of them were looking up at the sky, Xin Hai accepted the list that Yu Jin had thrown over with a clear conscience.

“If the person has not committed any heinous crimes, our Haiqi Island will not make things too difficult for him.”

Although the woman and the others seemed indifferent, Xin Hai still emphasized it.

Spies are people that various factions have planted in each other's territories. Unless they cause any serious harm, they are usually let off the hook.

Upon hearing this, the woman lowered her gaze and nodded to Xin Hai.

Apart from the lady making a gesture, the young master and the soldiers remained gazing at the sky.

Needless to say, the young master came to Inazuma just to make up the numbers; the Inazuma Fools didn't have any troops under his command.

The same goes for the stragglers; they don't even care how many men they have. They just use them up, give a shout, and someone will always come.

Of the three, only the woman seemed like a proper executive.

"Any questions? If not, then we've reached an agreement?" Yu Jin asked, looking around at everyone after a long silence.

“No questions asked, now it’s time for the specific details.” Xin Hai nodded to Yu Jin.

The general direction has been determined; now it's time to work on the details.

"Details? Little Deer, you go!" Upon hearing the word "details," Yu Jin immediately pushed Shinoin Heizo forward.

There was no other way; he could only rely on Xiao Lu now, so he had to go for it even if it seemed impossible!

"it's me again?"

Kanoin Heizo pointed to his face. How come he, a detective, was doing things that had nothing to do with being a detective?

"There's no harm in exercising more." Yu Jin waved his hand, signaling to Kanoin Heizo to calm down.

“In that case, I’ll stay here with the Fools.” The lady heard the conversation between Xin Hai and Yu Jin, her eyes darted around, and she decided to stay.

Seeing that Ember looked like he wanted to say something, the woman quickly interjected, "You don't think that the actions of the Fools in such a large area as Haiqi Island don't need coordination and handover, do you?"

"I will stay here so that I can discuss the specific details with the people of Haizhi Island, and also so that the other fools on the island can change their mission objectives."

The woman's rapid-fire arguments successfully persuaded Ember. Seeing that Ember had listened to her, the woman pressed on, continuing:

"It's not just Haiji Island; you need someone to coordinate the pirates there, and you also need someone to manage Kannazuka."

"Three people, just right."

The woman had barely finished speaking when she felt two intense gazes directed at her. Without turning her head, she knew they came from the young master and the scattered soldiers.

The young master was especially grateful; his eyes were practically overflowing with gratitude.

No matter what you do, as long as you can separate yourself from the embers, it's a good job!

“That seems to make a lot of sense.” Yu Jin and Kanoin Heizo exchanged a glance, agreeing that what the lady said made a lot of sense.

If he does this, it seems like he won't have to do anything, which is perfect!

Seeing the lady, the young master, and the stragglers looking excited, Yu Jin felt he should give them a warning.

“I’m giving you three a heads-up: you fools are atoning for your sins.”

"If you don't want to redeem it, that's fine!"

"boom!"

Yu Jin slammed a straight sword onto the table.

"Then let's see which is harder, your heads or my straight sword! Understand?"

"Mmmmmmm!"

The three people opposite immediately nodded like chicks pecking at rice.

Chapter 445 Borrowing a Boat

2024-01-26

"sieve!"

On the deserted beach, three figures vanished in an instant.

"Not bad, their strength is commendable." Yu Jin nodded approvingly when he saw the young master and the stragglers following closely behind him.

Although he could easily defeat both the skirmisher and the prince, their strength was already considered top-tier by ordinary Teyvat people.

"Heh." The skirmisher saw the embers in front of him, but only snorted coldly and did not reply.

However, the young master was different. He looked at Yu Jin's unchanging gait and asked curiously, "Our strength is good, but what about yours?"

The young master had no interest in Yu Jin's background. He had long known that there were always people more powerful than him in this world, and his master was a powerful figure with no apparent origin, just like Yu Jin.

Therefore, the young master cares more about strength than origin. And Yu Jin's strength is probably the greatest he has ever seen in his life.

As for the captain, the young master had never seen him fight, but he knew that his position was even higher than that madman, the doctor, so his strength must be terrifying.

As for the young master, Skirk, he could easily defeat him with one hand, so his strength was naturally beyond question.

However, during their first encounter, Yu Jin trapped the young master in a cage made of golden tree thorns without even using his hands, leaving the young master unable to distinguish between Yu Jin and his master.

"Not much, but enough to make you all obedient." Yu Jin grinned, but unfortunately, the soldiers and the young master could only judge his emotions by his tone of voice.

"Alright, if you don't want to talk about it, then forget it." The young master stopped dwelling on it after hearing this.

People like Ember are rare; they're strong, easy to find, and easy to talk to. They're practically unique in Teyvat.

Those who are strong enough to command the respect of the young master are either holding important positions and unable to spare time, or they are hiding in the shadows, doing who knows what.

A powerful figure like Ember, who roams the world and whose summoning rituals are merely a matter of posting a notice at the Adventurers' Guild, is unique among the Seven Kingdoms.

The young master is now starting to think about how to build a good relationship with him.

After all, guidance from a strong person is one of the few ways the young master can improve his strength now.

However, most of the time, the young master could not find anyone powerful enough to guide him.

The scenery before the three of them turned withered and yellow, and there was no doubt that they had now arrived in the heart of Bayun Island.

The three of them also saw the spectacular sight that stretched across the entire island of Hachiyū—the Musō Blade Rift.

"The Narrow Horizon of the Unthinkable Blade, the legendary pinnacle of martial arts!" The young master moved forward along the cliff face, looking down at the vast, bottomless canyon, and exclaimed in amazement.

How terrifying must Thor's power be to be able to split such a large rift?

"It's not as good as you guys, who turned Minlin into a plain and also added a dam downstream of Qingxupu."

Seeing the young master's amazed expression, Yu Jin immediately teased him.

The commotion caused by these two, the stragglers and the young master, was no less than that of Thor.

"I've already deeply reflected on those past events at the construction site, can we not bring them up?" Upon hearing this, the young master shuddered. During his time at the construction site, he had written countless self-criticisms.

“We are just the beginning. Only when we can create such a commotion on our own can we be considered to be on par with the gods.”

The soldiers looked at the leaping, deep purple Musou Blade in the narrow space, their eyes not filled with the prince's amazement, but with a palpable sense of resentment.

"You'd better pick a secluded spot, or I'll kill you all beforehand." Upon hearing the Scatter Soldier's words, Ember turned his head and yawned.

This made the stragglers and the young master shrink back. Indeed, given the strength of Yu Jin in waking Ruo Tuo, anyone wanting to cause a big commotion would have to get past him first.

"Tsk! You mentioned that 'Ghost Dragon' camp, but it doesn't exist?" The skirmisher suddenly felt that talking about strength with Ember was pointless, so he changed the subject.

The three of them had already left Musou Blade Crossing and arrived at a corner of Nashii Beach.

Ember gazed into the distance, then pointed in the direction of a cluster of shipwrecks and said, "It's almost there, right there."

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he asked the two people behind him, "Which of you will stay?"
