The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

Most of the members of the final episode are secretly waiting on Narukami Island, while a small number are outside Narukami Island, and mainly on Umijima Island.

Very few are able to be on the battlefield.

It's not that battlefield information isn't important, but anyone with eyes can see that the stalemate between the Shogunate army and the resistance army is a foregone conclusion, so its importance naturally decreases sharply.

"Benefits? Haven't you been unhappy with those people who serve in the Heavenly Court for a long time?"

"Do you think it's better to let him cause trouble once, or to let him keep causing trouble?"

"Of course, we hope he keeps causing trouble." Ayato Kamisato smiled slightly upon hearing this. Since that's the case, then he has no choice but to take action.

Chapter 459 Thousand Hands and Hundred Eyes

2024-02-01

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

"Yaedo's newly published novel! Brand new printing, still fresh!"

"Ninety-nine items, everything you could want, don't miss it!"

As they approached Inazuma Castle, a cacophony began to fill Yu Jin's ears. The sounds of blacksmithing and hawking filled the air, giving him the illusion of having arrived at Tiger-Eating Rock.

Unfortunately, this isn't Tiger Rock, but Hanamizaka. Naturally, it's not as lively as Tiger Rock in Liyue.

But overall, it's still much more lively here than other places.

With pedestrians no longer crowded, this relaxed and pleasant shopping experience was quite novel for Yu Jin.

As he walked along the street, Ember saw many unique shops, but the one he recognized most was the Adventurers' Guild, which he had spotted from afar.

Catherine stood behind the enormous counter; it was hard not to notice her.

"Towards the stars and the abyss."

"We meet again, Catherine."

With his hands resting on the counter, Yu Jin sighed with emotion. Before, when he arrived in Liyue, the first thing he did was rush to the Adventurers' Guild, but things had changed a lot since he arrived in Inazuma.

For example, he's been in Inazuma for so long, and only now is he joining the Adventurers' Guild.

"Mr. Ember, so you've arrived in Inazuma?" After the perfunctory greeting, Catherine looked up and saw Ember, her eyes filled with surprise.

Although Ember didn't help her, that emotion was something all Catherines could share.

Moreover, since then, no orders unrelated to adventurers have come from Winter, which makes Catherines feel grateful to Ember.

After the initial surprise, Catherine's face showed a hint of panic. "Mr. Ember, you seem to be a wanted criminal on Inazuma's wanted list, walking so openly on the street..."

"It's no big deal, I'll beat them up one by one, and besides, nobody's coming, right?" Yu Jin shrugged. He'd been gone for so long and no one had come to question him. He really didn't know whether to be grateful or complain.

"Wait! Don't push!"

"Give it to me! Give it to me!"

"Let me have a turn... I haven't eaten for three days..."

……

Just as Ember and Catherine were chatting, a commotion suddenly broke out on the street in the distance.

Yu Jin turned his head and saw a crowd scrambling for something.

These people were all dressed in rags, with sallow complexions, and looked frail and weak.

"Stealing grain?"

"Relief food".

Catherine nodded. "There were no refugees in Inazuma City before, but they started appearing after the war started."

The crowd that had been scrambling to grab the goods dispersed; some people carried cloth bags, their faces beaming with joy; others left empty-handed, their faces filled with sorrow.

This is the essence of life in all its forms.

"All the money from all the jobs I did, is it all still there?" Ember turned his head back and asked Catherine.

"Of course they are, but there are quite a few, so it will take some time to transfer them." Catherine pressed her temples for a moment to check, then said with certainty.

"That's good. Convert all my money into grain and distribute it. As for the inability to transfer it... use Seluus's money as a temporary measure. Surely his savings aren't so large that they require time to transfer?"

After pondering for a moment, Ember asked Catherine.

"That's not the case. The Inazuma branch can still issue the commission money for Chairman Serius immediately."

"But Mr. Ember, the deposit you made is no small sum, really..."

Have you ever seen my money decrease?

Before Catherine could finish speaking, Ember interrupted her.

Whether it's Mora or gold and silver, to Ember they are nothing but a pile of inanimate objects. He doesn't eat, drink, or sleep; what he needs is either readily available or something that money can't buy.

The wealth, once in his pocket, would only rust away, finding nowhere else to go. He might as well take advantage of this opportune moment and spend all the Mora now, saving the Adventurers' Guild the trouble of protecting his savings later.

"Is that so? I understand." Catherine nodded emphatically after hearing Ember's words.

"Good that you understand. It would be best to start today. I saw that guy who hadn't eaten for three days failed to get any food again. He's really pitiful."

After shaking his head and sighing for a while, Ember asked Catherine, "Catherine, how do I get to the Heavenly Territory?"

"The Heavenly Commander?" Catherine asked, somewhat puzzled, but she still leaned out from behind the counter and pointed to the road in the distance, saying:

“Mr. Ember, if you walk along this road, you will see a statue inlaid with the Eye of God. The place where soldiers guard the side of the statue is the Heavenly Commander.”

"grateful!"

He waved and then turned and walked in the direction Catherine pointed.

As the embers advanced, the buildings on both sides of the street gradually became more elaborate, and there were fewer pedestrians, but their clothing became more luxurious.

After crossing a wooden bridge, Ember saw the statue with the Eye of God that Catherine had mentioned.

The stone female statue is about ten meters tall, with her entire body seated on the ground. She has her head bowed, and wears a hood, her face blurred by the shadow cast by the hood, giving her an air of unfathomable power.

But what's most eye-catching is the two upward-reaching wings behind the statue. It's not that the wings are particularly intricately crafted, but rather that the divine eyes embedded in them are simply too captivating.

The colorful divine eyes reflected a dazzling light on the wings, and from a distance, they looked like eyes with different expressions.

They might be angry, compassionate, or conflicted... but none of that matters anymore, because they have become the eyeballs behind the statue, becoming part of the declaration of the supreme majesty of General Thunder.

"How many are there? I wonder if there are even a hundred." Standing by the bridge, Yu Jin looked at the statues not far away and sighed.

Are there a hundred Eyes of God on the statue? Ember didn't count them, but he probably didn't.

Each light above represented a wish powerful enough to attract the attention of the gods. Of course, now that wish should have vanished with the loss of the Eye of God.

However, Yu Jin's feelings were not only about those dozens of people who had lost their wishes, but also about the turmoil they had caused.

The owners of the Eye of God may not be outstanding individuals, but they can certainly be described as "talented."

They can become grandmasters through martial arts or tycoons through business. They are favored by the gods and have a strong will. No matter what they do, their chances of achieving great things are much higher than those of ordinary people.

After their wishes are taken away, the impact on various industries will likely be far more than just the loss of a few dozen people.

Moreover, this doesn't even include the owners of the Eye of God who escaped from Inazuma for refuge; if these people were included, the impact would be even greater.

"I wonder if all those eyes watching you can see Inazuma's current situation?"

After glancing up at the castle tower atop the layers of steps, Yu Jin headed toward the Tenryo-bōrō (Tenryo-bōrō) to the side.

The towering walls, the heavily guarded gates, and the armor displayed inside all speak to the grim atmosphere of this place.

"What are you doing here? This is a sacred place under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court. If you have nothing to do, leave immediately!"

Upon seeing the strangely dressed embers approaching, the guards immediately became alert.

"Are the people inside working?" Yu Jin didn't answer the soldier's rebuke. He looked into the gate, but the rows of artificial hills and walls blocked his view.

"Of course, the magistrate of Tianling is the general's right-hand man, busy with countless affairs every day." The soldier's tone was full of pride.

It's unclear whether he felt proud because of his job or because of the adults in the Heavenly Order who had nothing to do with him.

After listening to the soldier's words, Yu Jin nodded.

"That's good. As for the purpose of my visit today..."

Ember glanced once more at the castle tower high in the center, then turned back and said with a smile:

"I'll cut off one of your general's hands!"

Chapter 460 Demolition Begins

2024-02-01

"Where did this country bumpkin come from, daring to spout such nonsense here!"

As soon as Yu Jin finished speaking, the guards' expressions changed drastically. To dare utter such a thing as severing General Lei Dian's hand while in Inazuma was an act of utter audacity beyond description.

He is the perfect example to describe someone who is incredibly audacious and genius.

"Take him down immediately!"

Without much hesitation, the guards lowered their upright spears, their gleaming tips immediately aimed at Yu Jin.

"The reaction was so big?"

Yu Jin watched as the guards gradually surrounded him, his tone and actions remaining unchanged.

Have you ever flown?

As the spear tip thrust forward, Yu Jin reached out and firmly gripped the blade. In the struggle, countless sparks flew from his palm.

The soldier didn't reply; veins bulged on his forehead as he tried to pull his weapon out. But no matter how hard he tried, the spear wouldn't budge, as if it were nailed to Yu Jin's hand.

"Looks like there isn't one? Then hold on tight to your weapons, we're about to take off!" Yu Jin wasn't annoyed that the soldier didn't reply.

After giving just one reminder, he suddenly exerted force in his hand holding the gun blade, instantly turning the sharp, thin blade into a steel rod.

Then, Yu Jin swung his arm, and the spear, along with the guard holding him, was flung away and disappeared.

"Haha, it's flying pretty high." Yu Jin turned around and looked into the distance, as if the soldiers around him didn't exist.

"Damn it, who is this guy? Go call reinforcements!" The guards who had just surrounded Ember took a few steps back when they saw that one of their comrades had disappeared in the blink of an eye.
