The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

"...The mastermind behind the destruction of Gül, the mother of countless treacherous officials, how dare you return?"

As everyone marveled at the view from the summit of Mount Dama, the Holy Grail at the center of the summit emitted a voice filled with anger and questioning.

"..."

"The city of Gül was destroyed by Sister Lilupal?"

Hisa blinked. Wasn't Gül destroyed in the riots? How come the culprit has become Lilupal?

"Hmm? A descendant of the princess of Gül? It's rare to find someone with such intelligence."

The voice within the Holy Grail then realized that besides Lilupal, there was another spirit, and that it was a descendant of Shirin.

"You may not know this, but your mother's madness and the fate of constantly giving birth to mindless children are all caused by Baililupal."

"By the way, it seems that she also bears some responsibility for you being stuffed into machines to serve as servants."

The voice in the Holy Grail was curious; she wondered why Hisa and Lilupal could get along so well.

And... I'm curious how their relationship will develop from here on out.

When Hisa heard those words, she was taken aback at first, and then turned to look at Lilupal.

"Lilupal, is what she said true?"

"..."

Lilupal was speechless. She offered no explanation, speaking as if to Hisa and also to the voice within the Holy Grail: "I know that many things in the past were absurd."

"But before you vent your resentment on me, please let me see the flower's owner one last time, Sister Felicis."

"Get out! You have lost your right to see the mistress. Get out of here before I lose my patience, before my shackles rattle!"

Upon hearing Lilupar's plea, Feligis rejected her without hesitation.

Moreover, it was mixed with a lot of vulgar language.

This completely baffled Yu Jin, who was standing to the side. How could all the spirits in the town be so eccentric? He was a little afraid to imagine what the Flower Goddess's personality was like.

“If she won’t let us in, we can at least do it!” Ember cut Lilupal away quite naturally.

"You won't do either! You lack the beauty of a flower, yet you are dirtier than a servant in the desert! You would disturb the mistress's slumber!"

Phyllis saw the old armor on Ember's body and belittled it mercilessly.

"..."

"Very well, all of you, get out of the way!"

Upon hearing this, Ember pushed everyone around him aside. He took out a staff and conjured a magic drill as he spoke.

"Today I'm going to dig up a grave!"

Chapter 752 The Stagnant Time

2024-07-02

"Buzzing—"

As brilliant blue pyroxene fragments flew, the entire summit of Mount Dama began to tremble.

"You lowly outsider, how dare you disturb the mistress's peaceful sleep! Stop right now!!!"

Feligis was both shocked and furious when she saw Ember drilling into the ground. She had never seen a human so energetic; he said he was digging up a grave, and without even waiting, he immediately started.

A transparent barrier appeared around the Holy Grail, and then several primal constructs materialized out of thin air before everyone's eyes.

"Retreat now, and I can forgive and forget!"

"I've practically crawled through a hole and you're telling me this?"

Ember's words instantly drove Feligis mad. Ignoring all advice, she immediately separated several strands of her consciousness to control the nearby elemental constructs.

"My master, stop Philigis!" Lilupal immediately reminded Ying beside her when she saw Philigis trying to stop Ember.

"Actually... I think it's about the same whether we stop them or not." Ying smacked her lips. Even so, she still stood between Ember and the Elemental Construct.

She can't just do absolutely nothing, can she? Otherwise, she'd become a complete idiot!

"White-clad human! Lilupal is bewitching you! Just like how she used sweet words to bring down the city of Gül! That's her!"

Felicis shouted, but Ying just pursed her lips.

"Sorry, but in my opinion you and Lilupal are practically identical. I don't trust either of you."

During this time together, Ying fully understood one fact—that Zhenling had some flaws in his personality.

So she didn't really believe what Lilupal said at all; the tour guide position was better left to the silly and cute Paimon.

"Damn it! Damn it! Lilupal!"

Upon hearing this, Feligis became extremely furious. She then conveniently pinned all the blame on Lirupal.

In her opinion, if it weren't for Lilupar, no one would have disturbed the mistress's peaceful sleep.

Within the storm of Mount Dama, a faint rumbling sound echoed. The elemental construct personally controlled by Feligis completely outclassed all others in terms of both performance and combat skills.

The battle was fierce, but no matter what, Feligis was just a town spirit that had been bound here for a thousand years. Compared to Ying, who had experienced countless battles and earned the title of "Adventurer's Guild Supernova Girl," she was still far inferior.

Feligis summoned several primal constructs, but they were all destroyed by the glowing light.

Finally, after the third attempt, she could no longer keep up. The barrier on the Holy Grail disappeared, revealing the place where Philigis's soul resided.

If anyone can break this device, then Feligis will also be reduced to ashes.

However, Ying is too lazy to do it now. If it weren't for Yu Jin drilling, she might have tried it, but now that Yu Jin is underground, it's not too late to discuss it after he comes up.

The trembling at the mountaintop gradually subsided, and finally disappeared completely after encountering a sudden obstacle.

At the very top, Feligis seemed to sense something. She sighed and said in a complicated tone:

“Foolish mortals…why would they pursue such things…”

"It's just a grave there, a place of solidified regret..."

"Does Zhenling always have so much to say? We've dug through the hole, come with me."

Just as Felighis was muttering to herself, Ember's head popped out of the ground, waved to everyone, and then disappeared back into the ground.

The tunnel has been dug through; it's time to head to the Eternal Oasis.

"Coming!"

"Let's go!"

"The owner of the flower..."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned around and jumped into the large hole created by the embers.

This made Felicis blush again.

"Damn it! Let me finish speaking!!!"

……

"Boom!"

"despair!"

Two figures descended from above and landed in a tunnel. Following closely behind were three small creatures floating in the air.

"This... shouldn't be the Eternal Oasis, right?" Ying looked around, her eyelids twitching.

If this place can be considered an eternal oasis, then there are far too many "eternal oases" across the entire continent.

"Of course not. Come with me. The mistress's final resting place is just ahead."

Lilupal seemed quite familiar with the place, and she volunteered to lead the way.

Judging from its location, this place is inside Mount Dama. Surprisingly, the cave is not dark; a light emanating from somewhere makes it as bright as day.

For this reason, the vegetation inside the cave is very lush, making it look almost like a rainforest.

Soon, the cave came to an end. At its end was a ball of light, a very dazzling ball of light.

"Have we reached the cave exit?"

As someone who spends most of her time in various secret realms, Ying is all too familiar with this phenomenon.

Lilupal didn't answer Ying's question; she simply continued forward. Once they passed through the light, they saw the true oasis.

It was dawn, the clouds on the horizon were hazy, and the lush vegetation and mirror-like blue water looked incredibly languid.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Jin personally experienced the "laziness" here.

"Holy crap, a trap!"

He lifted his foot and saw that his soles were covered with dense, bright green grass blades.

These blades of grass are different from those outside. Outside, the grass bends down when stepped on, but it doesn't here.

They remained exactly as they were, which made it feel like stepping on a bed of needles when Embers walked on the grass.

"As expected of your master, he's quite cunning." Ember ran back, praising Lilupal as he pulled the grass stuck in his foot.

Who could have imagined that such danger could lurk amidst such beauty?

“The mistress… probably didn’t consider that much.” Lilupal finally managed to utter this sentence after a long pause.

It was a miscalculation; even she hadn't expected that entering the Eternal Oasis would cause such trouble.

"Phew... everything here is still, and this grass..."

"Is your mistress bluffing?"

Yu Jin stared at the vanished blades of grass in his hand, feeling utterly disillusioned. It was like finding a glowing corpse only to discover trash and remnants.

I'm feeling really down.

"The Eternal Oasis, as the name suggests, is an oasis that never changes. The mistress was not lying, and this place was not named by the mistress."

"This place... must be the scene that Lord Red King cherishes the most."

Lilupar explained slowly.

"Could you please not use this kind of name fraud next time? I thought it was an oasis that would never run dry."
