The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

He can get lost on land, let alone on the sea where there are no landmarks. It's best to leave professional tasks to professionals; that's much more efficient.

"Heh." The skirmisher chuckled lightly, then nodded to the Fools behind him.

"Go, remember the place I told you about, you know the way, right?"

"Don't worry, Sir, as long as there are stars in the sky, I won't get lost at sea."

After a brief exchange, the stragglers hurriedly ran off to other places.

Of all the fools, he was the most active.

After a period of busy work, all the newly built ships were ready. The scattered soldiers also came to the side of Ember and the young master.

"Is everything done?"

"All done," the skirmisher said, quickly pulling out a flag. As the flag waved, the fleet's ships began to move.

This silenced Ember, who was about to shout "Set sail!"

He looked around at the ships and suddenly realized a very serious problem.

"Hey! Your boat seems a bit slow?" Ember asked the skirmisher.

"Of course, you expect a ship built in three days to be automatic?" the soldier said, pointing to the wooden boat and the oars swinging around it.

Why choose strong people to come up? It's because these ships are all man-made.

"Just wait a bit. Their paddling rhythm isn't consistent right now, but they'll pick up speed once they get used to it."

The soldier looked at the oars swaying erratically and said slowly, "Even so, these boats are already about as fast as ordinary human-powered boats."

Once the Fools adapt to rowing, their speed will increase further. This is naturally due to the Fool soldiers' formidable physical abilities.

This is why the skirmishers chose human-powered boats. If they rowed fast enough, a human-powered boat could outpace a mechanically powered boat; the Fools before them were the best example!

"If you're feeling leisurely, you can go down and push it with the young master. I personally think it's quite nice."

After yawning, the stragglers made a suggestion to Ember and the young master.

Anyway, one of them has the Eye of the Water God, and the other can fly; they could easily push the boat across the water. It would be even faster that way, it just depends on whether they want to or not.

"Then I might as well just throw you all over there, wasting three days of my time. How do you plan to settle this?" Yu Jin said without changing his expression, sending a chill down the spines of the soldiers and the young master.

They never wanted to experience the "flight" that Yu Jin had mentioned again.

"So what's the point of pushing it? I think it's fine as it is." After hearing Yu Jin's words, the young master immediately expressed that he didn't want to push it either.

"Then shut up!" The skirmisher picked at his ear and went to the side of the ship.

The land behind them gradually merged into a thin line, and now, as far as the eye could see, there was a vast expanse of azure ocean.

Thinking about the information he had gathered over the past few days, the soldier's expression grew more serious.

Among the Inazuma people are many descendants of the Heguan people. Although most of them have forgotten the history of Heguan, they still leave some clues.

From these clues, the fools were able to glean many things that the shogunate was unaware of.

"Dense fog, thunderbirds, rituals..."

"What is it about Crane Pavilion that makes Balzebu unwilling to investigate?"

The soldier looked out to sea and vaguely saw a large island shrouded in mist.

Chapter 473 Bad Water

2024-02-08

"Hard to port! Hard to port!"

"Boat number three! Quickly furl the sails, the waves are coming!"

"What are you all standing around for! Hurry up and fetch some water!"

……

On the turbulent sea, a fleet of ships drifted and swayed in the giant waves. The simple wooden boats looked as if they could be swept into the sea by the giant waves at any moment, making people break out in a cold sweat.

"Wow!"

The dark blue waves crashed against the hull, causing the ship to emit a series of worrying creaking sounds.

The young master wiped the salty seawater off his face, looked up at the sky, and saw a clear sky with no clouds and the sun high in the sky. It looked like a good day.

But why are there such big waves on such a nice day?

"This place is so weird. It's a sunny day, but the waves are so big." The young master grabbed the seawater that had just flooded the deck and threw it back into the sea.

"After all, it's close to the Dark Sea, so it's normal for things to be strange," the soldier said, looking at the sea that was so blue it was almost black.

Even before we've gotten close to the Dark Outer Sea, all sorts of strange phenomena have already begun to appear. What is the real Dark Outer Sea like?

The stragglers couldn't imagine it, nor did they have any interest in imagining it.

"Damn it, why are these waves coming again?" The young master stood on the boat, being rocked violently.

He caught a glimpse of the huge waves crashing onto the sea again out of the corner of his eye, and raised his hand impatiently.

The young master's usual white bow appeared in his hand. He then nocked the string and drew it taut, and a thick, light blue arrow appeared on the taut bow.

The young master released his grip, and the arrow shot out with incredible speed. Though it was made of water, it was harder than steel.

"boom!"

The arrow collided violently with the oncoming giant wave, instantly tearing a large hole in the upright water curtain.

The waves, which originally possessed boundless power, were reduced to a torrential downpour of raindrops under the arrows.

Raindrops fell, and the young master's face, which he had just wiped clean, was now covered in water stains again.

"Damn it, if I can't handle the storm outside Inazuma, can't I handle you little waves?" The young master shook his soaking wet short hair and jumped straight into the sea.

However, he did not fall into the water, but stood on the surface of the water.

If you look closely, you can see faint ripples beneath his feet—he is levitating on the water's surface thanks to his control over the water element.

Looking around, the young master saw the ever-undulating sea and the ships that rose and fell with it.

"Hoo... I don't know how much longer, let's see if we can hold on!" The young master took a deep breath and then roared.

"Drink!"

Purple and blue intertwined around the young master. Once the suffocating elemental power had calmed down a bit, the young master in his Demon King Armor form appeared before everyone's eyes.

"I never thought... I could enter this state without fighting." The young master looked at his armored arms and muttered to himself in a hoarse voice.

But he quickly recovered from his emotional state. The important thing now was to calm the waves down a bit.

The double-headed sword in his hand vanished, and the young master opened his two free palms, pressing them down little by little.

There was nothing under his palm, but the young master's movements looked incredibly difficult.

"Quiet down!"

Seemingly fed up with the hesitant, dawdling pressure of his hand, the young master gritted his teeth and pressed down with all his might. The force he exerted was so great that it even leaked outwards from his entire body, bursting forth with leaping rays of light.

After using all his strength, the young master's movements immediately became smooth, and his palm pressed down without any resistance.

Correspondingly, the surging waves nearby seemed to be held down by an invisible hand and immediately quieted down.

"Let's go quickly, I don't know how long I can hold out."

On the calm sea, the young master was panting heavily. Coupled with his already hoarse voice after activating the Demon King Armor, he gave the impression that he was about to collapse.

After saying this, the young master didn't wait for the people on the boat to respond, and walked forward on his own across the sea.

As he moved, the calm sea began to ripple again. Everyone immediately realized that only by getting close enough to the young master could they prevent the waves from rising again.

"Wow, this is the power of the Executor!"

"When will I be able to be as powerful as you, young master?"

"Instead of wasting time on sentimentality, why don't you hurry up and row and raise the sails! Don't let the young master's good intentions go to waste!"

……

After a brief moment of surprise, the ships, which had been moving at a snail's pace, suddenly accelerated. The oars on both sides of the ships churned rapidly, making the fleet move even faster than when they had first set out to sea.

The young master's move not only calmed the sea but also inspired the fools present.

"Not bad, I didn't expect the young master to be so capable." Clinging to the railing of the deck, Yu Jin looked at the young master walking on the sea ahead and couldn't help but sigh.

"Heh, he's only useful when all you need to do is use brute force," the skirmisher scoffed.

Despite looking down on the young master, who was all brawn and no brains, the soldiers had to admit that the young master's talent in combat and growth was terrifyingly high.

Although he can still defeat the young master, in the repeated fights caused by verbal disputes, the soldier finds that it takes him longer and longer to defeat the young master, and the process of fighting is becoming more and more difficult.

"Fools sometimes have all the luck," the soldier said, shaking his head helplessly as he looked at the young master on the sea. Such talent was something you couldn't envy.

The surging waves calmed down with the arrival of the young master. In the battle with the embers and the stragglers, his control over elemental power reached a new level.

The young master pressed on relentlessly, with the boat carrying everyone following closely behind. Taking in this scene, Ember suddenly noticed a flaw.

"Does the young master know the direction?"

"..."

Ember turned to the stragglers and asked, but was met only with silence.

"I'll go ask." After a moment of silence, the skirmisher immediately turned and ran to the pilot at the bow of the ship.

After a brief exchange, the stragglers returned.

"Not yet, but if they do, they will signal to you, young master." After saying this, the soldier closed his eyes and waited for the ship to sail towards Heguan.

"That's good." Yu Jin nodded and began to gaze into the distance.

The fleet sailed on the sea, and thanks to the young master, the journey was much smoother than before.

The journey was remarkably smooth. Naturally, the sea monster the young master had hoped for did not appear.

Perhaps there will be, but even the sea monster knows to avoid the powerful aura emanating from the young master.

The sky darkened, not because night had fallen. In fact, the people on the ship had long lost track of time—the entire area was shrouded in thick fog.

The fog on the sea was so thick that you couldn't see the stern from the bow.
