The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

Seeing Abel's worried expression, Ember immediately coughed a few times and turned his head away. His curiosity about Melusin stemmed mainly from the fact that he thought these little guys seemed to be alchemical creations.

Creating life, even a race, is one of the highest pursuits of alchemy, making it something that cannot be ignored.

"Phew... I see."

Upon hearing this, Abel immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, she hadn't made any mistakes in her work.

She looked up and saw the undiminished curiosity in the eyes of the young master and Yu Jin, so she waved her hand and said:

“I understand the two guests’ curiosity about Melusin, about our origins…”

"I do not know either!"

As he spoke, Abel scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly. It wasn't just outsiders like the young master and Ember who had the same question; many Fontaines had the same question, but unfortunately, the Melusin had no idea about their origins.

Over time, nobody cared anymore.

"Although I don't know the origins of our Melusin, I know the Clementine line inside and out!"

"Please look, gentlemen, over there lies the great lake of Fontaine..."

Soon, Abel got to work, tirelessly explaining the scenery near the route to the young master and Yu Jin.

Her enthusiasm for her work was a bit unexpected; she wanted to recount every place the patrol boat had been to.

Then she saw the young master stand up from his seat.

"Excuse me, sir, is there any problem with you?" Abel asked, assuming the young master had something to ask when he stood up.

"I'd like to ask if you could hurry up?" the young master asked anxiously, glancing at the speed of the patrol boat.

“But that’s the fastest speed I can go.” Abel shrugged.

"What?! The fastest?!"

The young master was utterly shocked, and then he placed one foot on the edge of the patrol boat.

"Guest, please don't do this, it's dangerous!" Abel immediately advised upon seeing this.

Although the patrol boat isn't fast and there's water below, the waterway is still quite high. If someone accidentally falls in, even a miracle wouldn't save them.

"Sorry, I'm in a hurry. Your patrol boat is really too slow." The young master scratched his head and cheek. He also felt that this was not good. But when he looked at the mountains and seas slowly receding in front of him, he made up his mind and jumped off the patrol boat.

"Your explanation was excellent! I'll give you a good review!!!"

"Boom!"

Purple lightning flashed across the waterway and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Is it...too slow?"

"Don't worry about him, he won't die even if he falls from there," Yu Jin comforted Abel when he saw that Abel didn't seem to understand.

"I understand, the patrol...ship...is...too...slow!"

"I will report this to my superiors!"

She nodded, then took out paper and pen from her uniform pocket and wrote it down seriously.

As a guide and manager of the cruise ship, Aibel is responsible for collecting passengers' suggestions.

"In that case, it seems you're the only guest." Abel sighed as she put away her pen and paper.

We finally got two customers, but one of them ran away halfway there.

"From what you're saying, very few people ride the patrol boats?"

"That's right, it's free, and the scenery along the route is carefully selected."

Abel nodded somewhat dejectedly. She loved her job as a commentator, but unfortunately, she rarely had the opportunity to do so.

"Is that so..." Yu Jin sat leisurely in the seat of the cruise ship. He looked at the scenery opposite him. At this speed, he estimated that even an ordinary person could not run as fast.

No wonder the young master was so anxious that he jumped ship. Fortunately, Yu Jin wasn't in a hurry; he had plenty of time.

"Our destination, Fontaine, is located in..."

Accompanied by Abel's narration, the cruise ship moved forward on its predetermined track.

After crossing a strait, Ember, who had originally intended to relax, immediately perked up.

What did he see? He saw a huge whale!

"The guest seems quite interested in Mount Erinas?" Ebel asked, noticing this.

"Huh? So this is a mountain?"

Yu Jin seemed somewhat surprised upon hearing this, and he tilted his head back to examine it more closely. "Hey, it actually looks a bit like a mountain!"

The mountain is lush and green, with abundant vegetation, and full of vitality.

However, Yu Jin knew that this was not a mountain, but the body of some kind of wild beast that had fallen, its bones and flesh weathered over time into something resembling soil.

Moreover, judging from the appearance of this beast, it looks a lot like some kind of large fish. I wonder if the young master noticed it when he passed by.

“That’s right, our home village of Haimo in Meilushin is right here!” Abel added.

"I understand, stop! I want to get off the ship!"

Ember nodded, then raised his arm to signal to stop.

Unfortunately, even after he raised his arms until they ached, the patrol boat showed no sign of stopping.

"Guest, the patrol boat cannot stop midway," Abel whispered to Ember.

“Now I’ll give you my second suggestion.” Ember lowered his arm, then stood up and walked to the edge of the railship.

"Please speak, sir."

Abel then pulled out his notebook.

"Remember to set up a few stops along the way."

"Guest! Guest—"

The patrol boat rocked violently, and Abel hurriedly jumped off the commentary platform, clinging to the railing and shouting loudly.

The reason is simple: Ember had just jumped off the railgun as well.

"boom!"

A loud bang came from below, and then Abel saw a figure leaping and bounding across the verdant hillside at an astonishing speed.

It was obvious without even thinking that the person was Ember, who had just jumped off the rail patrol ship.

"I'm fine—"

Waving at the patrol ship slowly moving along the waterway above, Ember couldn't wait to run away.

As for whether Abel heard it or not, the answer is probably no—because the little guy is currently squatting on the railboat, deep in thought.

"I remember there were two guests today, why are there none now?"

Abel muttered to herself, "Yes, how could two such big guests disappear in the blink of an eye?"

Chapter 763 The Popular Melusin

2024-07-07

"Crack!"

On the slopes of Erinas, Ember plunged his arm into the soil.

"Hmm... this place looks a lot like the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain."

A moment later, Yu Jin withdrew his hand and nodded as if making an evaluation.

The soil properties here are somewhat similar to those of Longji Snow Mountain. Of course, it's only similar; there are many differences.

"Haomo Village, I think it's in this direction. Let's ask around, we should be able to get more information."

After wandering around for a while, Ember remembered what Abel had said earlier.

According to her, Haimo Village is located below Erinas, with a mountain lake at its entrance.

Normally, it would be difficult to find the exact location of Haimo Village based on this alone, but Aibel, being quite talkative, pointed out the location of Haimo Village.

However, this is nothing, as many people know the location of Haimo Village, the gathering place of the Meilushin people.

If it weren't for Fontaine's strict requirement that the people of Melusin not be disturbed unless absolutely necessary, they probably wouldn't have many peaceful days to live.

"Haomo Village...Haomo Village..."

As he muttered his destination, Yu Jin wandered around aimlessly. In his experience, although this might sometimes lead him astray from his destination, he would eventually reach it.

"Hey bro, are you here to film Melissa too?"

As they walked, a voice suddenly came from the side, startling Yu Jin.

"boom!"

A gust of wind blew by, and the nearby grass flew up, leaving only the man covered in sweat and stiff in the air.

"It's broad daylight, that's scary, okay?" Yu Jin withdrew his fist, and the tense atmosphere around him suddenly relaxed.

"Phew... you're quite skilled, brother. Duel Agent?"

“No.” Yu Jin shook his head.

"How about becoming a reporter for our newspaper? With your skills, you're sure to get lots of exclusive stories!"

The man immediately grabbed Yu Jin's arm and enthusiastically beckoned him. Only then did Yu Jin notice that the man had a phonograph machine hanging in front of him, and it looked like a high-end product.

"What are you..."

"Shh..."

When the man saw Yu Jin's gaze shift to the phonograph, a hint of panic appeared on his face.

He looked around to make sure no one was watching, then pulled the embers to a large tree.

"I'm interviewing Melousin!" he said, but he sounded guilty no matter how you looked at it.

"You're taking pictures secretly, aren't you?" Yu Jin immediately exposed the person's true colors, leaving the latter extremely embarrassed.

"How...how could you say that? A reporter's actions...how can that be called 'secret filming'?"
