The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

The Fools shook their heads. There was too little information, and it was severely distorted. This was all they could decipher.

"Is there any more information?" the lieutenant frowned and continued to ask.

“No more.” The Fools shook their heads.

"It seems we need to reduce conflicts with dragon lizards in the future," the lieutenant said to his companion after pondering for a while.

If these dragon lizards were wild animals, then killing them would be fine, but the key issue is that they are intelligent, and not insignificantly so.

In that case, the Fools will have to consider the cost of clashing with the dragon lizard.

Their squad was an advance team. Although it had been reinforced, it was ultimately an exploration team, not a combat team.

If you get into a conflict with the local tyrant as soon as you arrive in a new place, you might not even know how you died in the end.

"Sir! There's a new situation!"

While the lieutenant was pondering what to do next, the debt collector in charge of the investigation returned.

He also brought new intelligence.

"Tell me!" The lieutenant stopped thinking and asked the debt collector who had appeared in front of him.

"That direction is where many of the wild beasts we encountered before are gathering!" The debt collector pointed to a spot and said somewhat urgently.

"A gathering of dragon lizards..." The lieutenant lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then gave the order:

"Those with sharp minds and debt collectors, come with me! The rest of you, stay where you are!"

After saying that, he ordered the debt collector who had rushed over, "Take me to the place where the dragon lizards gather, and remember to become invisible along the way!"

"understand!"

The debt collectors nodded, then the evil eyes on their waists flashed, and their figures were reduced to barely visible red borders.

This is the ability of debt collectors: they can make themselves invisible, and of course, they can also make their teammates invisible by gritting their teeth, but then they will have more weaknesses.

The invisible group moved forward at high speed, led by the debt collector at the front.

Soon, in a distant, broken plaza, the Fools saw the dragon lizards that surrounded the plaza completely, and... several non-human creatures at their center.

……

“Yuan…Yuanxia! Trade…” The surrounding dragon lizards saw Yuanshang approaching and immediately rushed forward impatiently.

"I already told you! I'm Yuan Shang, not that idiot Yuan Xia!" Yuan Shang punched the dragon lizard on the head who had mispronounced his name, somewhat exasperated.

"You're the idiot!" Yuanxia, ​​who was also surrounded by dragon lizards, heard Yuanxia scold him and his fur immediately bristled with lightning as he retorted without backing down.

"Yuan...Yuan Zuo!"

"Who called me?"

"Nobody called you!"

Looking at the other dragon lizard who had mispronounced his name, Yuan Shang helplessly covered his face.

He's told these dragon lizards his name is Yuan Shang countless times. Unfortunately, even now, very few dragon lizards can pronounce his name correctly.

"This... is for you!" The dragon lizard that had been hit showed no anger. Instead, it opened its big mouth and spat out a bunch of papers.

Yuan Shang immediately gave up trying to correct the dragon lizards' ideas and began searching through the papers.

Although the papers were spat out of the lizards' mouths, they showed no signs of getting wet, suggesting that they had received special care from the lizards.

"Dainichi Mikoto Maintenance Instructions? What... what is this thing?" Fuchigami looked at the paper in his hand and felt his head spinning.

"Sun...moon...book..."

"Alright, alright, I got it. Keep looking. Find me everything that has the sun and moon in its name!"

The dragon lizard was explaining to Yuan Shang. Unfortunately, Yuan Shang rudely interrupted its intermittent words.

Although he didn't know what use the information in his hands was, Yuan Shang still tucked it into his Abyss Codex.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shang couldn't help but sigh. His Abyss Codex was containing less and less about the Abyss itself.

The Abyss Codex, which does not record the Abyss, and the Abyss Singers, who do not sing of the Abyss, are strangely well-matched.

"call……"

A loud snoring sound came from near the abyss. He turned his head and saw the dragon lizard that had spat out the paper sitting upright on the ground.

A hint of anticipation appeared in its narrow lizard eyes.

"There's no need to look at me like that. I keep my word." Seeing this, Yuan Shang put away his Abyss Codex and then took out a wind-blue stone from the opened Abyss passage.

"Here you go, this is what you wanted." Yuan Shang tossed over the Dvalin nail clippings in his hand with a hint of disdain.

Upon seeing the wind dragon's horn in the air, the dragon lizard immediately pounced on it.

Looking at the dragon lizard wagging its tail rapidly in front of him, Yuan Shang still couldn't quite believe it, no matter how many times he had seen it before.

"Could the ancestors of these guys have been dogs?" he couldn't help but speculate.

Chapter 543 The Dragon Lizard That Was Countless Beats Slow

"call……"

"Change it to water, not wind."

After snores for a while while hugging the nail clippings of Dvalin, the dragon lizard came running over eagerly to exchange with Yuan Shang.

“Water? I don’t have any.” Yuan Shang shook his head, then pulled out a large horn carved from rock and said to the dragon lizard:

"I only have wind and rock ones. Look how big this one is! Do you want it?"

Yuan Shang held the ancient rock dragon lizard horn, which was as big as a person, and tempted the dragon lizard.

When the dragon lizard saw the large horn that Yuan Shang had pulled out, it first sniffed it, and then quickly withdrew its claws, which were holding fragments of the wind dragon.

It was as if Yuanshang might snatch it away at any moment.

"Dragon lizard, not wind dragon, no."

"Are you two Dvalin's offspring in the wild? You like it so much?" Yuan Shang couldn't help but complain when he saw the dragon lizard backing away with the wind dragon fragments in its arms.

Although he couldn't understand why the dragon lizards here were so obsessed with everything in Dvalin, it was precisely because of this that their journey to the Abyss Palace became much easier.

With the help of the dragon lizards, the difficulty of searching for "The Story of the Sun and Moon" was greatly reduced, and the reward was only the scraps they had taken from Dvalin.

"Hey! Listen up! If any of you can find a book with 'sun' and 'moon' together, I'll give this to you!"

Yuan Shang waved his arm, and in his hand was a light, delicate feather. The feather moved with Yuan Shang's movements, stirring up gentle breezes that invigorated everyone.

The noisy dragon lizards immediately quieted down after seeing the dragon feather in Yuan Shang's hand.

However, this tranquility lasted only a short while before being overwhelmed by various shouts.

"Sun...Moon..., find!"

"It's not a water dragon, but a wind dragon... that's fine too!"

"Finding a book is like finding the feeling of home!"

……

The dragon lizards cried out, unable to remain calm after seeing the dragon feather in Yuan Shang's hand. They immediately scattered excitedly, wanting to find the book containing "sun" and "moon" that Yuan Shang had mentioned.

But before they could take their first step, a powerful aura that made all the dragon lizards' hair stand on end suddenly appeared near the abyss.

"Baptist... what brings you here?"

Having already become an Abyss Singer, Yuan Shang sensed the aura of a higher level and began to bow and scrape with practiced ease, while his companions behind him knelt down on one knee.

After he emerged from the abyss, a "monster" that was even taller and more chaotic than him slowly walked out of the abyss passage.

A jet-black robe, four arms wielding three different elemental powers, and a single eye filled with madness—this is the higher-level form of the Abyss Apostle—the Baptist of Deep Sin.

They are the absolute high-end combat force of the Abyss Order, and there are very few such individuals in the entire order.

"Naturally, I've come to see your 'deal' with the dragon lizards."

The Baptist of Deep Sin glanced down at the Abyss, a hint of appreciation appearing in his single eye. Being able to cooperate with the dragon lizards was far better than simply figuring things out on his own in the Abyss Palace.

"Your subordinate...I am deeply honored. May I ask what brings you here, sir?" Yuan Shang wiped imaginary sweat from his forehead and said with a forced smile.

[What is this guy, whom you hardly ever see in the entire cult, doing here?!] Yuan Shang roared furiously in his heart, his head bowed.

"I wouldn't call it giving orders. Have you found the events of the past?" The Baptist of Deep Sin looked around at the snarling dragon lizards and his one eye darted around a few times.

"The answer to the sinner has not yet been given."

"If you don't have any, then there's no need to look. Are these all the dragon lizards you have?"

The Baptist of Deep Sin waved his hand, directly canceling the mission assigned to Yuan Shang. Searching for "The Past of the Sun and Moon" was more of a punishment than a practical task; otherwise, Kong wouldn't have sent Yuan Shang.

“Dragon lizards… as far as I know, that’s all.” Yuan Shang was taken aback upon hearing this, but quickly recovered.

The mission was canceled, but Yuan Shang felt no excitement whatsoever. He knew that trouble was definitely about to fall on him.

"So few? They're just a bunch of useless trash." The Baptist of Deep Sin felt irritated and annoyed by the small number of dragon lizards.

There are so few dragon lizards, it's not worth the trip. It's a complete waste of its time.

“Our own kind, and our leader, are below.” A dragon lizard, hearing the contempt of the Deep Sin Baptist, stood up to speak for his people.

"Oh? Down there? Down here?" The disdain in the Baptist of Deep Sin's single eye vanished instantly, and it looked at the dragon lizard that had spoken, its eyes filled with interest.

The dragon lizard shook its head, extending one of its forearms that was supporting it on the ground, pointing towards the massive tower behind the Baptist of Deep Sin.

The surface of Yuanxia Palace is incredibly fragmented, with thick fog between the various islands, but no matter where you are, there is always something that can break through the fog.

That is the towering structure standing in the center of Fuchishita Palace, also known as the Great Sun Palace. Its top radiates endless light, acting as the sun in this dark corner.

“That thing…” The Baptist of Deep Sin looked back and felt that the Great Sun Imperial Court was extremely familiar.

This is practically a rudimentary version of the artificial sun of Kanria. The reason why the Great Sun Imperial Carriage is considered more rudimentary is that its light source still requires a tall tower for support, while Kanria's is directly suspended in the sky like a real sun.

"Are your kinsmen in there?" asked the Baptist of Deep Sin.

"Humans! Torture!" The dragon lizards looked at the Great Sun Imperial Court with eyes full of hatred.

In the distant past, this place was once the land of dragon lizards. Later, for some unknown reason, humans wandered in and drove the dragon lizards to a corner.
