The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

“No, I need to give him some ideological education.” Ember didn’t want the life he created to go astray, so he decided to go to Joel’s house to check on him.

Ember does whatever comes to mind. During his time living in Mondstadt, he memorized everyone and everything in the city, and now it's time for them to come in handy.

"Bang bang bang!" Ember quickly arrived at Joel's door and knocked.

"Coming!" Before long, Joel skipped and hopped to the door and opened it. His face lit up with excitement when he saw Ember.

"Dad, your uncle who saved you is here!" Joel was very excited. He ran back into the house and pulled Joseph out.

He looked exactly like Joseph, whom he had seen in the past. Ember glanced at him and found that he couldn't see any difference.

"Ember." Seeing Joseph's excited expression, Ember quickly spoke first.

"Joel, we have a distinguished guest. Go buy some fine wine; we'll have something nice to eat tonight," Joseph said, handing Joel a bag of Mora and patting his head.

"Oh! There'll be something good to eat tonight!" Joel excitedly snatched Mora and dashed out the door. Whenever Joseph asked him to buy alcohol, it meant he'd have something good to eat that night.

As soon as he saw Joel disappear from sight, Joseph immediately knelt down on one knee, but before he could even kneel, Ember pulled him up.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't do this. You don't need to kneel before anyone," Ember said hastily, pulling Joseph up.

"My father, what brings you here?" Joseph stopped kneeling after hearing Ember's words.

“Call me Ember. I’m just checking in to see how you’re doing.” Ember corrected his form of address and then asked, worried that Joseph might not be adjusting to his new life.

“Okay, Ember. My life is good. I love Joel, and Joel loves me.” Joseph replied to Ember with a smile.

"Damn it!" Yu Jin rubbed his forehead. This guy seemed to accept and carry out everything he said.

These kinds of creatures are the most terrifying; if you're not careful, they can grow into something truly horrific.

Ember looked at Joseph, who was smiling, thought for a moment, and then carefully said:

“You are the first life I created in this world. You have many questions? I understand. There are many of them that I cannot answer either, so I can only offer some small suggestions.”

"Think more about the meaning of your existence beyond me. If you have questions, don't ponder them alone; talk to me more often. If you don't like this identity, you can leave."

"Think more and do more. I created you, and I will take responsibility for everything for you. Finally, I'd like to add that I would be very happy if you could walk towards the light."

Chapter 53 Traveling Far Away

"Understood!" Looking at Joseph bowing his head in agreement, Ember felt that he definitely hadn't understood.

But let it be. Anyway, with him watching over things, Joseph probably won't cause any major trouble.

"Well, I have something to do, so I won't stay any longer and will take my leave now." After saying this, Yu Jin turned and left. He still had a commission to prepare for that afternoon, and besides, he wasn't used to being a guest.

The caravan's meeting point was the Dawn Winery. It seemed to be a wine-selling caravan, otherwise they wouldn't have gathered next to the Dawn Winery.

Dawn Winery is located west of Qingquan Town, in Mondstadt's largest and best wine-producing region. Countless fine wines are produced here each year, providing excellent wines to the people of Mondstadt and bringing them immense wealth.

To this day, the wealth accumulated by Château Mondeau is probably only known to its owner, Diluc.

However, none of this mattered to Yu Jin. At this moment, he was squatting in front of the curb of the Dawn Winery, waiting for his client with nothing to do.

Occasionally, brewers or old drunkards would cast surprised glances at Ember, but none of them disturbed him.

As Mr. Diluc said, anyone can rest here as long as it does not disrupt the normal operation of the winery.

Soon a group of people appeared on the road in front of Ember, but to Ember’s great surprise, he saw a cow!

With its plump body, thick brown hair on its back, and two pairs of thick black horns on its head, it looks like a cow with hypertrophic hyperplasia!

Large livestock are truly rare in this world; this is the first time Ember has ever seen a cow.

This caravan must be quite something, because based on Ember's adventure experience, Mondstadt people mostly use carts or simply manpower to transport supplies.

“Sangge… the caravan of the Sangge Mahabay Merchant Guild?” [What a strange name.] Yu Jin looked at his letter of authorization and asked the people in front of him.

Upon hearing Ember's words, a woman stepped out from among the large herd of pack animals. She looked at Ember and asked, "Are you Mr. Ember?"

“Yes.” Yu Jin nodded and handed her the letter of authorization to look at.

"My name is Aiqi, and I'm the head of the Mondstadt region of the Merchant Guild. How about we work together in the days to come?" After confirming that Aiqi was correct, she extended a hand to Ember.

"It's a pleasure to cooperate!" Yu Jin extended his iron hand and shook hands with Ai Qi, smiling at her.

……

"Is this the passage you created?" The Fire Keeper exclaimed in disbelief as she looked at the passage that was constantly collapsing and being repaired by Patch.

"That's all we can do for now." Patch scratched his shiny bald head, looking somewhat guilty at the Fire Keeper emanating a dangerous aura.

"How did you manage to do that?" The Supreme Will, standing to the side, looked at Patch's glowing head, curious about how many secrets he didn't know existed.

Wisps of black smoke began to emanate from the Fire Keeper again, and this time it was Patch's turn to jump up and down in frustration. He hurriedly shouted:

"Fire Keeper, calm down! I can feel that I have enough power, but the basic data of the other world is a bit lacking, and the coordinates are a bit difficult to calculate."

"Then what do you suggest we do!" The Fire Keeper stared at Patch, having finally seen a glimmer of hope, she didn't want to give up so easily.

"Send someone over. Once we have enough data, I'll work on it all night, and that should be enough." Patch's face fell.

He'd done calculating world coordinates in the Armored Core world before, and that was something no human could do. And this time, without a computer array to assist him, he was afraid he'd be in serious trouble.

"Really?" The Fire Keeper was pleasantly surprised.

"Really." He's now afraid of the Fire Keeper, just like Ember.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Lord Patch." Looking at the Fire Keeper who had become dignified and elegant again, Patch sighed helplessly.

Then he took out a clay sculpture and said to it, "Goldwin, call everyone you need to call. There's news of the Embers."

After saying that, Patch ignored the surprised shouts on the other end and hung up the call. He had a terrible headache; he not only had to deal with coordinates but also meetings.

He then caught a glimpse of the dignified and elegant Fire Keeper beside him and the unremarkable Supreme Will, and his headache worsened; he also needed to explain their identities.

But Patch soon grinned mischievously and said to the Fire Keeper, "Come on, let's see what this guy's Fire Keeper is like in this world."

He has a new Fire Keeper in this world? The Fire Keeper felt a ringing in her ears and her mind went blank, but she quickly returned to normal.

【Olivia, Olivia, you mustn't show weakness. She might not know as much as you do.】 She maintained a gentle smile and said to Patch, “Thank you for your trouble, Lord Patch, and for taking care of him for so long. It's only right and proper that I thank her.”

"Her? That's not necessarily true." Patch thought of Melina, Lani, and Malenia, and muttered to himself.

……

The round table hall, originally a place for the faded to rest, has now been transformed into a council hall.

At this moment, the huge round table in the hall was already full of people, and everyone's eyes were on Patch at one corner of the table.

While everyone's attention was on Patch, the Fire Keeper was also watching them. She wasn't sitting at the round table, but rather standing quietly in a corner with a smile on her lips.

Diagonally opposite her, the Supreme Will also watched with great interest the people at the round table, those who had once been his chess pieces.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!" Patch saw that everyone had arrived, so he tapped the table a few times, ready to speak.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Patch said succinctly, "I know you're all in a hurry, so to make a long story short, we've found the whereabouts of the Ember, but it's a bit unstable. We need to send someone to collect data from that world."

"Below demigods, we need to keep things quiet," Patch added. He needed to first ascertain the state of the embers, and also to guard against any potential administrators of that world.

“My strength is below that of a demigod, I’ll go!” Melina was the first to stand up. Her voice trembled with excitement. She had thought she would never see Ember again, but unexpectedly, things took a new turn.

[It seems that Lord Ember's Fire Keeper in this world is her.] The Fire Keeper in the corner thought to herself as she watched Melina's excitement at the round table.

[She's getting impatient. It seems this little girl still has a lot to learn.] The Fire Keeper's smile deepened as she thought this.

"Melina, you have a knack for intelligence gathering? Right now, the most important thing isn't satisfying your own desires. Besides, your strength isn't as weak as you claim." Lani, who was not far away, glanced at Melina's tightly closed right eye and said calmly.

However, her originally cool voice also fluctuated considerably, clearly indicating that she was not as calm as she claimed.

[Moon, what should we do next?] In her mind, Lani nervously talked to her Darkmoon. She was just as excited as Melina to be able to meet the Ember again.

"What can I do? I'm just a moon," Dark Moon muttered to herself in the starry sky. Why should I, a planet of my own, be Lani's wingman?!

"Let's leave it at that for now. After all, you're all at the demigod level, and none of you can see him first," Dark Moon replied. The current situation was advantageous to Lani.

Because Patch's words just now clearly indicated that he wanted Black Knife, and Black Knife has a close relationship with Lani.

"Two...two?" The Fire Keeper felt uneasy as she saw Lani and Melina locked in a tense standoff.

"You're going to send Black Knife, aren't you? Bring them here. While staying in the shadows might give you the advantage, there's probably still a lot of open conflict going on."

Marlene also spoke up, saying that although she had expected to see Ember again, she didn't expect it to happen so soon.

She glanced at the sword at her waist, and it had a reason to be wielded again.

【Three... three! And two of them are so difficult to deal with?】 The Fire Keeper's lips twitched slightly, and her hands, which had been resting on her abdomen, began to clench tightly.

It seems quite a few men have been cheating on her while she was away.

Chapter 54 Turmoil

2023-08-28

"Everything is subject to the King's will. Understand?" Godwin said to the eleven black-sworded figures before him, standing before a spatial rift that was gradually collapsing and then repairing itself.

He had died at their hands, but that was all in the past. Now, Black Blade, like him, was part of the Guardian King.

"You can rest assured about that; Black Blade is loyal only to the King." A clear, cold voice came from among the group of tall women clad in silver armor and hidden in the darkness.

Ge Dewen nodded. Of the eleven Black Knives, only Wang knew who was who.

The Supreme Will looked at Godwin, who was giving instructions not far away, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He was someone who could have become the best pawn, but now he was serving the Embers.

"Don't forget what you promised me." Lani, who was standing to the side, reminded the Black Knives as they were about to leave, both as a reminder and as a boast.

“As long as the King agrees.” Aleto’s cool voice remained unchanged. However, seeing the surprised looks on Melina and Malenia’s faces, she added:

"We will bring back the king's living records."

"We promised not to tell them!" Lani exclaimed in surprise, but was immediately silenced by the stares of Melina and Marlenia.

"Black Blade is loyal only to the King!" Seeing Lani's exasperated appearance, Aleto's voice was clearly tinged with pleasure.

"Okay...okay, stop looking at me like that, it was all its idea!" Lani couldn't stand everyone's gaze and pointed to the round, dark moon in the sky.

【？？？】You think the moon can't speak? So you're making yourself the scapegoat? The dark moon looked down from the starry sky toward the border, and began to wonder when Lani had become like this.

"Let's go, the three of us are about to collapse!" Patch urged, seeing the others still dawdling in the distance.
