The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

If he really had nine heads, then Morax would be the one locked up.

“Oh, right.” Ember nodded. If Oser really had the strength behind the white curtain, that would be terrifying.

He watched as Oser became engrossed in the story again, and felt a surge of satisfaction. Now, all he had to do was insert some ember mini-lessons into the white screen, and he believed Oser would be released from prison soon!

However, it seems we need to discuss this with the Rock God first. After all, this is his prisoner, and we definitely need his approval to decide how to deal with him.

Seeing that Ausel was staring intently at him, Ember ran to his side and said:

"Hey, let me tell you how to use this white curtain."

"Swipe left or right to change the scene." Yu Jin swipes to the left, and the white screen changes back to the scene of Oser and his kin playing.

"Understood." Oser poked his head out and swiped to the left. Then the scene changed to him sitting in his ocean palace, ruling over all his people.

“That’s how you shut it down!” Ember clenched his fist, and the white curtain disappeared. Then he looked at Osel, and Osel looked back at him.

"Move? Did something go wrong with your brain?" Yu Jin said, "It should be easy to draw an analogy between opening your hand and 'opening'."

"Do you see me with hands?" Osel even spun around, and the huge ocean current blew the embers far away.

Ember swam back to Oser quickly, his arms moving with incredible speed. He said to him, "Open your mouth if you want!"

Upon hearing this, Oser bent down, opened his mouth wide, and the white curtain lit up again in the deep sea.

Ember nodded. This way, there was no need to worry about Oser going crazy. He was so big and strong; if he went berserk, it would be a real problem.

"Are you leaving?" Oser asked, his eyes fixed on Ember as he silently retreated.

"Definitely, or should I chat with you? I'm very busy, you know." Yu Jin nodded. Actually, he wasn't busy at all; he just found the place too monotonous.

Upon hearing this, Oser didn't show much other expression. His ten eyes closed, and a faint blue light began to emanate from the foreheads of his five heads. Finally, these five blue lights condensed into an indigo jewel.

Then Ember saw Oser's enormous body begin to shrink rapidly, eventually shrinking from a body that was thousands of meters long to only a dozen meters in length.

If he was a true vortex demon god before, then now he is truly just a giant sea serpent.

"This is the only thing I still have that has any value. You take it. If you ever meet Ba Che in the Dark Sea, give it to her." Ausel lay sprawled on the ground, her eyes still fixed on the equally shrunken white curtain.

Then he added, "If you don't want to go to the Dark Outer Sea or die, you can take it. Although it's not very useful to you, it is still the power of a demon god, so it's not bad to keep it as a keepsake."

After saying that, Oser fell silent.

"If you keep doing this, what will happen when I have to let you out?" Yu Jin scratched his head. Why was this guy so pessimistic? Wouldn't it be better to be more positive? Maybe he really could get out?

"Heh, never mind. There can only be seven demon gods." Oser chuckled dejectedly.

The only way to escape the battle royale set up by the laws of nature is to flee to the outer sea of ​​darkness. They neither want to fight nor want to escape the Teyvat mainland.

Yes, you can either give up your physical body or give up your intellect.

Of the three paths, Ausel didn't want to choose any. The Dark Sea was filled with wild elements and taboos; only those with unwavering principles and great strength could find refuge there.

As for himself, Osel felt that if he went in, he would be corrupted into someone else within a few hundred years.

If he were to give up his physical body, he would be limited to certain places, and in his soul state, he would frequently fall into a deep sleep.

The only remaining option, Oser, who had given up his intelligence, didn't even consider turning himself into an idiot. He would never do such a thing.

In conclusion, it's better for him to just watch the white screen here.

"Tsk! Strange rules." Ember heard Oser's words. Only seven demon gods? What a strange rule.

"Bye-bye!" Ember waved to Oser.

"Bye-bye!" Oser wagged its tail in response.

……

Lonely Cloud Pavilion still stands at the westernmost point of Liyue, with the Cloud Sea inside calm and tranquil, while the Dark Sea outside is turbulent and turbulent.

Ember emerged from the seabed and saw hundreds of boats racing and thousands of sails leaping on the calm sea not far away.

So Ember silently pulled his head back in, because his swimming style was rather astonishing, and for the sake of the hearts of the people of Liyue, it was best to be careful.

Yu Jin's gaze passed over the barrier of the sea and looked towards another shore of Yunlai Sea.

It was a bustling city, teeming with merchants and vendors, their cries and hawking filling the air.

If freedom is the defining characteristic of Mondstadt, then prosperity is the defining characteristic of this city.

Liyue, here I come!

Thank you to the following individuals for their monthly tickets: Carrying Everything Calabash, Immortals Also Have Jianghu 5, and Riding a Crane Down to Yangzhou!

Chapter 70 Liyue

2023-08-28

"Good place." Ember quietly swam to a small harbor at the southernmost part of Liyue, and then quietly climbed out of the water.

A perfect infiltration! No one noticed!

The moment he stepped ashore, Ember evaporated the seawater from his body. Then he walked out onto the street.

The architecture in Liyue is quite different from that in Mondstadt. Liyue's buildings are mostly made of wood, unlike Mondstadt which is primarily made of stone.

The architecture is quite complex and elaborate, and the people of Liyue seem to have a great fondness for building pavilions. Wooden corridors frequently span the sky, connecting the tall buildings on both sides of the street.

Ember was completely absorbed in observing these unfamiliar buildings, oblivious to the strange looks he was getting from the people around him.

He seems to have forgotten that Liyue and Mondstadt are not the same. Just because Mondstadt people can ignore the decorations of the Embers doesn't mean Liyue people can.

Moreover, the decorations on the embers were extremely bizarre, with medieval knight plate armor covered by several tattered pieces of linen, which seemed completely out of place with the atmosphere of Liyue.

While Ember was engrossed in appreciating the local customs and culture of Liyue, someone had already quietly gone to inform the Thousand Rock Army.

"My lord, soldiers from this place, the Thousand Rocks Army, are coming." The black-clad warriors in the shadows warned Ember.

“?” Yu Jin snapped back to his senses. He looked around at the crowd and then realized that a small section of the street around him was empty.

The people of Liyue aren't very friendly.

However, Ember understood; he knew his attire was somewhat unusual. Rather, it was the Mondstadt people's reaction that was odd.

Is it simply a matter of saying that the people of a country and their gods have similar personalities? Barbatos was magnanimous, and so were the people of Mondstadt.

Yu Jin waved his hand, signaling the Black Blades lurking in the shadows not to act rashly. After all, he hadn't done anything wrong, nor did he harbor any ill intentions, so what was there to fear?

As a result, Yu Jin lost interest in continuing his travels. He now only wanted the Thousand Rock Army to arrive quickly so that his identity issue could be resolved.

The prosperity of Liyue's streets far surpasses that of Mondstadt. A constant stream of people throngs the streets, and numerous shops and stalls offer them treasures from across the continent.

Soon, the surging crowd parted. From the fork in the crowd emerged three men dressed in yellow-brown armor and carrying long spears.

"Hello." The person in the lead nodded to Yu Jin.

“I’m fine,” Yu Jin nodded in response. Then he said directly, “I’ve come here for some reason and don’t have an identity yet.”

“However, I’m quite well-known in the Adventurers’ Guild in Mondstadt. You can look it up.” Ember suddenly remembered his reputation in Mondstadt and added.

“Oh? If that’s the case, then that’s convenient. However, you must be tired from your journey from Mondstadt to Liyue. Please rest at the General Affairs Office reception area for now,” the Thousand Rock Army leader said politely.

If the person before me truly came to Liyue alone from Mondstadt, then their strength must be considerable. Whether out of courtesy or other reasons, it's always good to be polite.

“Alright. But I’m not very familiar with Liyue. You’ll have to answer some of my questions.” Ember nodded; he was just worried about not having a guide.

"My lord, perhaps we can answer your questions," Black Knife transmitted to him again.

"You guys went out to gather intelligence again?" Ember cried out in his mind. This black blade isn't exactly friendly either.

"It's just to get a basic understanding. Your Majesty needn't worry." The remaining black-clad swordsmen beside Yu Jin said somewhat awkwardly, their ingrained habits difficult to break.

"Forget it, I don't need you to answer my questions." Ember rejected Black Knife's offer. While Black Knife's information was concise, it certainly wasn't as interesting as what the locals said.

Ember and three Thousand Rock soldiers walked down the street. After crossing a wooden bridge, the road ahead suddenly opened up!

The widened stone road is lined with tall buildings and pavilions, with countless wooden corridors rising high into the air. Colorful silk banners flutter in the wind above the pavilions and corridors, displaying the prosperity of the place.

"Crimson Cloud Slope. This is the most bustling commercial street in Liyue Harbor, with shops from all seven kingdoms. If you have enough Mora, this is definitely the best place to find treasures."

Seeing Yu Jin stop and look around, the Thousand Rock Army behind him explained.

"Really?" Ember exclaimed in surprise. He was just worried about where to spend his Mora, and this was the perfect opportunity to find some unique items from this world.

“Of course it’s true,” the three people beside him affirmed. In fact, they were being modest; this was not only the most bustling commercial street in Liyue Harbor, but also the most bustling commercial street in Teyvat.

The things you can buy here are absolutely beyond what most people can imagine.

Amidst the embers' exclamations and the laughter of the Thousand Rock Army, the group arrived at the end of Scarlet Cloud Slope. The General Affairs Department of Liyue was located here.

The General Affairs Department is arguably the busiest department in Liyue. Besides handling Liyue's daily administrative affairs, it also manages civil disputes.

After passing through a gate guarded by two large stone lions, Ember was led into a room.

"Please rest for a while, Your Excellency. You may also enjoy the hot tea on the table. It is a specialty of Liyue and you must try it." After saying this, Qianyan Jun withdrew.

Upon hearing this, Yu Jin happily picked up the teapot and took a sip, not caring whether it tasted good or not, he just drank it first.

……

"Have you found it?" People were constantly moving through the General Affairs Department's archives. This place gathered all the publicly available information about Liyue, including that of the Adventurers' Guild.

"Yes, I found it." Catherine opened her eyes and said to the general affairs officer in front of her.

As a doll produced in the Winter Solstice Kingdom, she ostensibly exists as a receptionist for the Adventurers' Guild.

However, in order to coordinate the daily affairs of various countries, it is not difficult to set aside one or two people specifically to handle matters related to adventurers.

After all, adventurers are arguably one of the most troublesome groups in all of Teyvat.

"Oh? What's his background? Is what he said true?" the general affairs officer asked. If he's really famous, how come he'd never heard of him before?

“It’s true, his reputation has only just begun to spread.” Catherine seemed to have discovered something surprising, her eyes widening, but she quickly regained her composure.

The people in the General Affairs Department immediately perked up. Legendary adventurers were respected throughout Teyvat, and just hearing about their deeds was enough to get anyone's blood pumping.

"He's a legendary adventurer?" He was a little breathless. A living legendary adventurer? He would definitely have to pay him a visit sometime.

"Hmm... headquarters is still discussing it. His deeds are somewhat special," Catherine said calmly.

"What deeds? Briefly describe them?" the General Affairs Department staff asked curiously. Some extraordinary deeds? Something that even the Adventurers' Headquarters found difficult?

"In a single day, he cleared out a total of 10644 Hilichurls, 1567 Hilichurl mobs, and 6472 slimes of various kinds around Mondstadt," Katherine stated without batting an eye, recounting the Black Knife's masterpiece.

The people in the General Affairs Department felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over their heads, and their previous enthusiasm vanished instantly.
