The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

I have another request: if possible, please try to find the other two team members who got separated from us.

Anton's words echoed in Ember's ears, causing him to throw the rainbow stone in his hand even further.

Seeing something glowing, those two wandering lads will probably come over.

The rainbow stone illuminated the area around the embers with unparalleled brightness. The stones on his body seemed endless, and wherever he went, a rain of glowing stones would fall.

This is more than just fun; at the center of these glowing bands are road signs pieced together by the embers using stones of the same color.

Following these signs, even someone with the strength of a common soldier like Anton can easily find Hilichurls in the Rocky Abyss and carry them back to the altar.

"call out!"

A point of light streaked past, striking the pebbles in the darkness and turning them into shimmering specks of light.

"The workers are here!" Through the burst of light, Yu Jin saw a simple tent set up beside the water.

The tent was small, but it was covered with all sorts of badges and symbols of the Fools.

"Wake up! Wake up!"

"Well……"

A long purple sleeve was pulled out from the tent, where a lightning mage lived.

"Is it Katarina?"

Ember patted the Thunderfire sorceress on the shoulder and asked her.

"How do you know my name?" Katarina instantly became alert, and Ember could even vaguely see a glint in her eyes.

It's not that it's hungry, or that it's fierce.

“Your captain, Anton, wants you to work with me.” Yu Jin handed her the note Anton had written himself.

Katarina took the note and examined it closely before a bolt of purple lightning burned it to ashes.

"Do you think you have too much time on your hands?" Yu Jin thought that Katarina was crazy for using her Evil Eye to destroy a note.

He's about to starve to the point of being skin and bones, yet he still dares to use his evil eye; he's really asking for trouble.

“Go back and tell Anton that he is a coward! A deserter! He betrayed the Queen, and I will personally cut off his head!”

"Crash!!!"

"..."

Looking at the tightly closed tent, Yu Jin was a little slow to process what was happening.

"Are there male Thunderfire Sorcerers?" Ember muttered. In Ember's stereotype, topics like honor and loyalty were usually more popular among men.

Now that it was suddenly coming from a woman's mouth, Yu Jin was a little taken aback.

"Hey! Come out here! Anton didn't betray us. Mercenary, do you even know what a mercenary is?!"

Ember patted the tent, but the latter only managed to hum a single sentence.

"A traitor is a traitor. The cause of the fools should not be sponsored by anyone other than the [Rich Man]!"

"Big sister, I hired them to move an old Hilichurl to a designated location to die peacefully. I'm paying them, can't they even do a good deed?"

"Get out of the way! Once you put on the mask, you should dedicate everything to the goals of the Fools, including your own time!"

Yu Jin glanced at the tent, his fist hardening. Was this woman some kind of foot-washing stone? Smelly and unyielding.

However, Ember has a way to deal with her.

Standing up from the ground, Ember circled the makeshift tent.

"You really are a die-hard fan of the Fools. You have more than a dozen different Fools' insignia and badges."

The tent did not respond.

“It’s a pity…” Yu Jin paused, his gaze fixed on the dozen or so badges and insignia.

"Shhhhh!"

The tent shook violently as the insignia and medals were ripped off by Ember's blurry arm.

"Crack!"

"Now they're all gone! Hahaha!"

Yu Jin's unrestrained and flamboyant figure disappeared into the darkness. Beside the tent were various medals and insignia that he had trampled to pieces.

"Tin can!!! I never want to see you again!!!"

Not long after the embers left, a furious and extremely piercing scream erupted from the tent.

Unfortunately, this heart-wrenching scream was destined never to reach Yu Jin's ears.

Running wildly along the stream surrounding the camp, Ember not only threw rainbow stones this time, but also blasted up some pufferfish.

Wherever he went, the fish would turn belly up. Before he knew it, Yu Jin had caught a lot, enough to feed at least a few ordinary people.

The river flowed deeper into a crevice formed by piled-up rocks, where the embers saw new figures.

On the shallows formed by the river's alluvial deposits, a dark-skinned figure sitting cross-legged caught Yu Jin's attention.

Like Ember, he was shrouded in armor, with a long spear with a flag stuck in front of him.

The flag on the spear shaft had long since rotted, but the spearhead still gleamed.

Besides the guy who looked like some kind of knight, there was another figure lurking further away.

The figure was wearing a cloak, and his distinctive attire made Yu Jin immediately recognize him as a member of the Fools.

"Hey kid, I bet your name is Nikolai, right?" Ember ran up to the Fools and patted him on the shoulder.

"Hmm... is it a hallucination? Why did I hear human voices?" The fools lying on the rocks unconsciously moved their heads and said vaguely.

"It's not a hallucination, someone really is coming!" Yu Jin raised his voice and patted harder.

Nikolai finally regained some consciousness. When he opened his eyes and saw Yu Jin's appearance, he immediately retreated in fear.

"Black Knight?! You...how did you get here?!"

"The Black Knight?! Where is the Black Knight?!"

The giant sword was swung, and the resulting wind and waves ripped the surrounding rocks into countless holes.

When Nikolai saw Ember wielding the giant sword, which was even longer than him, with such power, he immediately abandoned his idea of ​​running away.

He closed his eyes, quietly awaiting death. But Nicholas was almost asleep, and the knight before him did not strike him with his weapon.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that Yu Jin's large face was almost touching his own.

"Kid, do you know that using the Black Knight to scare people could actually scare them to death?"

Ember sheathed his greatsword. The Black Knights had taught Ember the true meaning of a knight's "unyielding spirit"!

It's ridiculous that the giant sword would stab you like a toothpick!

Because the Black Knight was so tough, Ember would always go around him in the early years, but this did not prevent Ember from being knocked away by the Black Knight with his greatsword many times.

The Black Knight was Ember's first teacher, although their "teaching" methods were rather brutal.

"You...you're not one of the knights over there?" Seeing that Ember meant him no harm, Nikolai stood up shakily from the ground.

"The armor styles are all different. Can't you be a little more careful?" Yu Jin turned around. Although he and the knights on the riverbank were both wearing full armor, their armor styles were completely different.

"Oh...oh?!" Nikolai nodded in agreement, having no idea what styles of armor there were.

In Teyvat, where elemental forces exist, full-body iron armor has long been obsolete.

Yu Jin looked at Nikolai's trembling legs, which seemed to be about to give way to his body.

"Here, look how hungry you are." He took out an unknown river fish, and with a slight flicker of fire in his hand, a grilled fish was ready.

However, since it wasn't scaled or gutted, it's safe to eat, but it's probably not very tasty.

Of course, none of this was a problem for Nikolai; he was already quite content as long as he had something to eat.

"thanks, thanks!"

Nikolai took the grilled fish handed to him by Yu Jin and began to wolf it down.

"What are you doing here? Do you know your teammates, and... your sister is very worried about you?"

When Katalina was mentioned, Yu Jin raised an eyebrow. Could it be that this kid couldn't stand his sister and ran away?

"This one……"

Nikolai glanced at the embers, somewhat ashamed to speak. He had actually come to use the knight beside him to end his own life.

But now that new hope has suddenly appeared, he no longer wants to die.

"If you don't want to say it, forget it."

Ember stood up from the ground, and the knight in the distance was already walking over with a long spear.

"So this curse is selective about who gets cursed?"

Chapter 608 Black Snake and Empty Shell

2024-04-15

"Ta! Tat! Tat!"

"Tattoo!"

The sound of steel trampling over stone grew more rapid. The knight who stood up, holding a lance in both hands, charged towards the embers and the gnawing Nicholas with unstoppable momentum.

"Watch out! He's strong!" The voice grew closer, and Nikolai lost his appetite. He held the half-eaten grilled fish in one hand, while trying to push Yu Jin away with the other.

"when!"

Nikolai looked at his bright red palms, and without much hesitation, he immediately dragged his half-numb arm to a safe place.

He's really meddling in things that don't concern him. What is he worrying about for Yu Jin?

"Only instinct remains?" Ember looked at the approaching knight and understood.

Beneath this body, there is no longer any consciousness capable of controlling it. What now drives this body is the lingering instinct of its former owner.

"He smells a bit like that kid Dain. From the same system?" Ember gripped the tip of the charging spear, abruptly halting the knight's momentum.
