The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

“My master, the Eternal Oasis is not anywhere above. Its entrance is located beneath the sea of ​​sand, and the place itself is a separate space.”

The two eye points in the bottle of Hisa blinked a few times, explaining to Ember.

"Are you kidding me? You've been looking at the map for so long even though it's not on the map. Do you think I'm bored?"

“Hisha is foolish. Seeing the oasis turn into yellow sand, she was momentarily...hehe...controlled by her emotions...hahaha....”

"I can see that now." Seeing the perfume bottle spinning around in the air with a laugh, Yu Jin realized that Shisa really couldn't control herself.

"Alright, let's go now, you follow!" After righting the flipped-over Hisa, Ember waved his hand and jumped off the sacred tree first.

"My master! Shisa has not yet shown you the way! Please wait for me!"

Seeing that the embers had vanished in an instant, Hisa quickly jumped down from beneath the sacred tree. Without her, how could they find the Eternal Oasis?

……

In an inconspicuous valley in Sumeru, a person with a bottle is walking through the weeds.

"This should be the place, right?"

“My master, Shisa has no intention of questioning your wisdom. But… you seem to be getting further and further away from the desert. Is there some shortcut that Shisa is unaware of?”

As Hisa rose into the air, she gazed into the distance. The yellow sand at the edge of her vision receded further and further away, until it was almost out of sight.

Weren't we supposed to be going to the Eternal Oasis? Why did Ember lead her into the depths of the rainforest?

"Oh, who said I was going to the desert?" Yu Jin looked at the line of text below the poster: "[Those interested, please wait for the cult to meet you in the middle of the third valley in front of the giant machine in the Demon-Slaying Mountains.]"

"what?!"

"Please forgive my master, Shisa was just a little... agitated. Please punish her."

Hearing Ember's nonchalant reply, Hisa fell straight down from the air. She first let out a bold exclamation, then her tone instantly became soft and delicate.

Yu Jin withdrew his outstretched hand. If Shisa hadn't stopped at the last moment, he would have been worried that her new body would have shattered.

"Your first sentence was good. Just use that tone of voice from now on. Aren't you worried about becoming mute if you keep speaking in such a high-pitched voice?"

Ember recalled Hisa's two sentences just now. The first sentence was short and fluent, with natural pauses, and it was clearly her natural voice.

As a result, the second sentence started to sound strained, which made him lose interest. No matter how nice a bottle's voice is, it's still just so-so; it's better to use your natural voice.

However, Shisa clearly wouldn't admit it. She chuckled awkwardly a few times, "My master, what are you saying? Shisa's voice has always been like this, the first sentence... the first sentence..."

The light in Hisa's bottle flickered, and she saw a figure gradually emerge from the grass opposite.

"The very first sentence must have been spoken by that person; it had nothing to do with Shisa!"

"What? There are other people?" Hisa's words instantly diverted Ember's attention. He turned to look at the bushes and saw a "figure" shrouded in a black robe walking over.

Ember thought this guy was probably not human because he was too big.

At first glance, his size was actually the same as that of a Furnace Knight. Keep in mind that Furnace Knights are always clad in armor; this person, even without armor, was the same size as a Furnace Knight, which speaks volumes about his stature.

He ran over quickly, and stopped about ten steps away from the figure shrouded in black robes.

Ember was sizing up the man in black robes, while the latter was clearly sizing up Ember as well.

The man's black robe must have undergone some special treatment, because even in broad daylight, nothing could be seen on it.

Similarly, the black-robed man saw Ember in the same way. His eyesight was among the best in Teyvat, yet he couldn't see Ember's face through the slit, which truly surprised him.

The man in black robes first glanced at Ember, but after a cursory scan, he couldn't discern anything. So, his gaze shifted to Hisa, who was standing next to Ember.

The conscious Shisa inside the bottle could sense the prying eyes of others more clearly.

An inexplicable pressure struck, followed by tangible psychic power that roughly gripped Shisa's consciousness, attempting to directly invade it.

"Hey hey hey~, you want to fight?" Yu Jin pulled Xi Sha behind him, and the pressure that had been suffocating Xi Sha suddenly dissipated.

Upon seeing this, the man in black robes withdrew his gaze and lowered his head slightly.

"The little thing behind you, you'd better not believe a word she says."

The black-robed man's voice was deep and rough, devoid of any emotion, like the sound of two huge, hard rocks colliding.

After giving Yu Jin a piece of advice, he turned to face the calm river and waited quietly for something to happen.

"Huff...huff...I'm so angry! My master, if you ever capture him, I beg you to hand this foolish mortal over to me."

As Shisa heard what the man in black robes said to Ember, the bottle shook and turned red, looking like it would explode in the next second.

“Those without wisdom, even if they happen to gain wisdom, will only know how to hurl insults and use petty tricks.”

Upon hearing this, the man in black robes opposite him simply responded with a curt reply.

"Alright, alright! I think you two should both keep quiet."

"Shisa, I'm not trying to be mean, but you explode at the slightest criticism. I even suspect you'd kill yourself with anger. Can't you consider the difference in strength before you speak?"

Yu Jin first gave Xi Sha a slap, then he leaned closer and whispered a reminder to her:

"Don't you even know how thick those fingers are? They could crush you to death if you squeezed them!"

Shisa waved the bottle near Ember's face a few times, and the bright red bottle gradually returned to normal, but she still stubbornly insisted:

“My master, it’s because Shisa trusts you!”

"If only you would listen to me." Yu Jin indicated that he didn't believe her at all. Shisa's ulterior motives were probably more numerous than he imagined.

“That’s how all self-centered creatures are,” the burly man in black robes in the distance interjected after hearing Ember and Hisa’s conversation.

"You're not much better. Brother, haven't you noticed you're a bit of a chatterbox?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Jin decisively turned around and struck the man in black with a board again. The latter seemed to realize something after hearing this; he coughed a few times and then fell silent.

Chapter 680 "Monopoly" Embers

2024-05-21

"Wow~"

After Ember gave his comments on Shisa and the man in black, the air fell silent.

The only sounds in the valley were the gentle breeze and the babbling of the stream. Finally, it was Ember who quietly came over and broke the silence.

He walked to the man in black, took out the poster from his hand, looked up and asked:

"The same to you……"

He subtly extended the poster in his hand, making sure the man in the black robe could also see it.

"Yes."

Sure enough, the man in the black robe also pulled out a crumpled poster from his cloak.

To Yu Jin's surprise, the black-robed man's exposed hands were unexpectedly fair and delicate.

She looks like both a young girl and a baby.

This made him glance at her sideways. Yu Jin had originally thought the figure under the black robe would be a burly man. But now it seemed that the burly man might not be, and instead it looked like a woman using a voice changer.

Of course, it might not be a woman, maybe even a small... large Southern Liang!

Shaking his head to dismiss the wild guesses in his mind, Yu Jin silently took a few steps back.

This left the man in black feeling quite bewildered; he didn't seem to have done anything at all.

"Why are you two looking for the organization on the poster? They're not human, aren't you afraid?"

The black-robed man only hesitated for a moment at Yu Jin's strange actions before paying no further attention. He tucked the poster back into his large cloak and asked without turning his head.

"I've dealt with them a few times, and it doesn't seem fake. Besides, why should you be afraid of people who aren't human? There aren't any humans next to me, so why would you be afraid?"

As Yu Jin spoke, he shook Hisa beside him, causing her to utter a muffled murmur.

"Uh……"

“Interesting.” The man in black robes turned his head and looked at the dizzy Shisa and the pondering Ember.

If it weren't for the great importance of the matter at hand, he would have been very interested in learning more about this peculiar combination.

"I advise you to leave now. The Abyss Order cannot be trusted, and the Abyss itself is even more so."

"What's more, this place is about to..."

"Om-"

The black-robed man's words came to an abrupt halt. Suddenly, a spatial rift shimmering with starlight appeared on the calm water, and then an apostle dressed entirely in frost-white stepped onto the ice.

However, unlike the other Abyss Apostles, this apostle was holding a small booklet in his hand and reading it carefully as he came out.

"Huh? Two people?!" The Ice Abyss Apostle looked up and saw the two people in front of him, and immediately exclaimed in surprise.

However, after exclaiming in surprise, it immediately began frantically flipping through the booklet in its hands.

"Let me see, this is how we should act when we encounter humans..."

"Have it!"

The Abyss Apostle turned to a certain page, and then all sorts of praise poured out of the monster's mouth without reservation.

"Welcome to the Abyss service, both of you. We wish you all the best, good fortune, and a happy marriage..."

"Phew... what's next..."

After finishing its rapid-fire delivery, the apostle took a deep breath. Recalling the words of instruction it received during its training, it began a new performance.

"Our order has the most professional mages and warriors. We can do everything, including adventure, divination, and commissions!"

"Shh!"

"There's nothing the cult can't do if our guests can't think of it! What services would you two like to book?"

After performing a front flip on the water, the Abyss Apostle jumped in front of Ember and the man in black robes, asking them obsequiously.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Yu Jin, the man in black robes, and Xi Sha looked at the actions of the Abyss Apostles and thought that the Abyss Order must have taken the wrong medicine.

But Shisa was different; she simply thought this organization called the "Abyss Order" was quite good at creating trouble.
