The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

"Hurrah!"

The sound of the water splashing against the pebbles seemed louder because of the silence between the two. After a while, Chanottira in the waterfall finally opened her eyes.

"Mameh, the colors you're wearing are so vibrant today, what's wrong? Did something good happen to you?"

"Hehe, you figured that out? Finally, someone can appreciate my painting! And two people at that!"

Mameh scratched his head and chuckled somewhat sheepishly.

"Is that so? Then congratulations!" Shanotila smiled as well, genuinely happy for her.

It must be admitted that although she can see a lot, she still cannot appreciate Mameh's paintings.

“Hmm…it is indeed amazing.” Overhearing the conversation between the two Meloshens, Yu Jin finally understood why Mameh said the book was amazing.

The ability to see through appearances and reach the essence—if that's what that book gave him, then he really wanted to experience it.

As Yu Jin pondered, Shanotila also noticed the tall stranger beside Mameh.

Looking with her own eyes, she was surprised to find that the person in front of her had not changed at all.

She rubbed her eyes in disbelief, but what Shanotila saw remained unchanged.

This was the first time she had seen someone whose essence and appearance were exactly the same.

"so amazing……"

Chanotira couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Chapter 766 The Arrogant Person

2024-07-09

"You're the one who's truly amazing, aren't you?" Ember asked, meeting Shanotira's curious gaze.

This little guy has surprisingly good eyesight; he must be able to see things that many other people can't normally see.

"You're quite unique. Would you like to take a look at that book with me? Maybe we can discover something from it."

“That’s right, Ember is from outside, so he must be very knowledgeable!” Mameh chimed in from the side.

Chanotira was troubled by the text in that book. Her group of boys also took a look, but nothing changed—they still couldn't understand what they couldn't understand.

"Well... I think you'd better not have too high expectations," Yu Jin replied guiltily. Let him read books? That might be giving him too much credit.

Regardless, Mameh and Shanotira skipped and hopped forward. They seemed to easily trust outsiders.

Seeing this, Yu Jin had no choice but to follow. Although it was a pipe dream to expect him to deduce anything from the words in the book, his intuition was undeniably sharp.

Sometimes, just a glance is enough for intuition to tell Ember many things that even books haven't explored in depth.

Two figures, one large and two small, wandered around Haimo Village, and Yu Jin felt more and more that this place was not a normal place.

Scattered on the ground were bright red stones encased in fibrous rock, thin stone slabs that stretched from the ground to the top like a curtain, and an overly smooth riverbed...

There were countless strange sights, but he had no time to examine them. After walking for a while, the group came to a bend in the river.

"Hmm... this place looks extraordinary," Yu Jin said, stroking his chin as he stood on the riverbank.

"So... Mr. Ember can see the entrance?!" Shanotila was incredibly excited upon hearing this.

This is where she found the mysterious book. Unfortunately, apart from her, no one else in Melusin could see the entrance.

The "special" nature of this situation troubled her for a long time.

"Look, everywhere else is withered and lifeless, but here the grass is growing. How can it not be special?"

Ember plucked a handful of emerald green grass from the ground and spoke to Shanotira and Mameh.

Haimo Village is not devoid of vegetation; on the contrary, its vegetation is quite lush in some respects.

However, their shape and color are somewhat off-putting. Generally speaking, these plants tend to have a preference for petals, connective tissue, and bright red, which evokes images of something unpleasant.

Ask Melusin, they think these plants are very beautiful and pretty, no less so than those outside.

In response, Ember can only interpret it as a difference in aesthetics between humans and Melusin.

"Is that so... Mr. Ember is quite impressive for noticing the differences here!" Shanotila was a little disappointed at first, but quickly cheered up.

"No, no, no, I saw more than just that." Yu Jin waved his hand at the two of them, took a few steps along the riverbank, and then waved his arms rapidly.

"Here! Here! And here!"

"It's full of cracks!"

"what?"

Ember spoke fluently, making Shanotila extremely excited, while Mameh was completely bewildered.

"I knew Mr. Ember would be able to figure it out. Now we can definitely understand that book!" Seeing that Ember had figured out something that no one else had been able to, Xia Nuotila's expectations for him immediately soared.

This caused Yu Jin to pause in his movements. Meeting Shanotila's expectant gaze, he muttered to himself:

"Should I not have shown off like that?"

“Mr. Ember? What else have you noticed?” Seeing Ember muttering to himself, Shanotila assumed that he had noticed something more.

"No, I was just wondering how to get in after I noticed the crack," Yu Jin quickly offered a few perfunctory words.

"It's alright, I have a way!" With that, Shanotila pulled out something that looked like a key.

After waving the key in the air a few times, an underwater cave several meters in size appeared on the riverbed.

"Hmm? The wounds suddenly got bigger." Yu Jin looked up at the cracks floating in the void, invisible to others. Just as Shanotira swung her hand, these wounds suddenly grew much larger.

Judging from this, it seems that changes in the wound could affect the terrain of Erinas.

"Not quite dead yet?"

Yu Jin scratched his head. What normal corpse would react to a wound? The fact that it could react to a wound only meant that this guy wasn't completely dead yet.

"interesting."

With that, he followed the two Meloshens and jumped into the river.

The embers in the water moved with unexpected speed. Wherever they passed, the water roared as they passed through.

"Boom!" A huge column of water splashed out, and the embers that had been holding Shanotira and Mameh between their armpits leaped out of the water.

"Wow... that's fast."

"Dizziness……"

Shanotila and Mameh slumped to the ground, their eyes glazed over. Never in their long lives had they ever run so fast in the water.

"This is the book? It's truly remarkable." Yu Jin exclaimed in amazement as he looked at the book lying quietly on the music stand, resembling a musical score.

It's been a long time since I've seen a book like this where I can't understand a single word.

"Ember, did you see anything?" Despite the dizziness in her head, Shanotila rushed over.

"This... let me take another look."

Seeing that Shanotila was looking at him with such expectant eyes, Ember paid more attention to her.

His gaze lingered on the words in the book, and before he knew it, the blue-purple magic circle beneath the music platform began to emit a faint glow.

At the same time, the words on the pages began to gradually recombine, and everything around them began to fade away.

"Are you trying to mess with my mind again? Don't you want to live?!"

Seeing this, Yu Jin scratched his head helplessly. It seemed that there had been a sudden increase in people causing trouble at the level of consciousness lately, which made him feel quite uncomfortable.

However, this time was different. Ember waited for a long time but did not sense any signs of consciousness intrusion.

He arrived in a strange place where the sky was incredibly dark, and there was no land to speak of. The place where he stood was merely a floating piece of building debris.

"A starless night sky, and these living conditions..."

Yu Jin reached out and carefully felt the conditions here. Then his voice rang out at the same time as another voice.

"The Beast Mirror Hound and the Abyss Monster should be fine, and Melusin should like it here too."

"Even mint and sweetflowers can't grow..."

The stranger's words overlapped with Ember's, but in the end only Ember finished speaking. The same scene, yet the two had their own different interpretations.

"You are very optimistic."

"If the outlook wasn't optimistic, I would have sent it already."

With his arms crossed, Yu Jin fought alone, and if he didn't find some amusement for himself, he could easily be swallowed up by the surging substance within him.

The man fell silent, and then the scene before Yu Jin's eyes faded away at an astonishing speed. The narrow cave reappeared before him in the blink of an eye.

"Ember, what did you just see?"

"Um... how should I put it? I think I saw the author of this book, right?"

Yu Jin responded somewhat uncertainly, "That person just now was probably, maybe, possibly the author of this book."

"Wow! Can you tell me what kind of person he is?" Shanotira's eyes instantly lit up with stars; she had been wanting to see the assignment for this book for a long time.

"Well... I think he's probably a very arrogant person..."

Ember pondered for a moment, then nodded with absolute certainty.

"Arrogant? That's certainly true. If I could write a book like that, I'd be strutting around like a madman by now!"

Chanotira seemed thoughtful upon hearing this. Although she hadn't expected the "arrogance" aspect, upon reflection, she realized the other person certainly had the right to be so.

If she could write a book like that, she would definitely become even more arrogant!

Yu Jin looked down at Shanotila, who was inexplicably standing with her hands on her hips, and thought that she must have confused smugness with arrogance.

Although the voice was calm, it couldn't hide its innate sense of superiority and arrogance.

So much so that when Ember offered another perspective, he immediately stopped speaking.

"So, besides these, did he tell you anything else about this book?"
