The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

“Okay! Deal!” Yu Jin agreed without any hesitation. He had many more rapiers like this, and even if he lost out, he would consider it a lesson learned.

Moreover, 60 Mora sounds like a lot, since 60 Runes is equivalent to half of Marlene in her prime.

“Okay, I like straightforward people!” Marjorie said, taking out a box and putting some Mora inside.

“Mora is a catalyst, and its value is determined by the amount of catalyst it contains,” Galuro explained when he saw Ember’s puzzled look.

"You really came from an ancient ruin? You don't even know this?" Marjorie assumed Ember was joking and handed the box to him.

As Ember stepped out of Marjorie's jewelry store, he suddenly noticed that the atmosphere in Mondstadt seemed to have become unusually heavy.

"Have you heard? Two diplomats from the Kingdom of Winter were murdered on their way back!"

"What? Weren't they supposed to be escorting them with Captain Jean and Captain Kaeya? How could this have happened!"

"Hmph! Who knows? But it's good he died! I heard he was burned alive by black flames! That's satisfying!"

"Shh! Keep your voice down, or you'll be in big trouble!"

……

At this moment, the people in Mondstadt were discussing the murder of the Winterborn diplomat. Some clapped their hands in delight, some frowned, and some remained calm, and so on.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Galura?" Ember asked, sensing Galura gripping her armor.

"Black flames, it's Sister Kolei!" Galuro whispered to Ember.

Chapter 7 Cole

2023-08-28

"Coley? Is she someone important to you?" This was the first time Ember had heard another person's name from Galura.

“Yes, Sister Cole always took care of us. She was the oldest child among us and the most successful in the experiment,” Galuro recalled. In the days without light, Cole was her only light.

"Really? What a good kid. Hmph, looks like I really can't stay idle," Yu Jin remarked.

"Then... then is Brother Yu Jin going to save Sister Ke Lai?" A glimmer of hope flashed in Galura's eyes. If Brother Yu Jin were to help, he could definitely save Sister Ke Lai!

"Of course, you've already called me brother, so I have to take care of my little sister's business!" Yu Jin patted his chest confidently.

This time, it is the duty of the Sun Knight to summon him!

“But we’ll be moving at night. You need to tell me what Cole looks like in the meantime,” Ember said to Galuro.

"Yes!" Galura nodded emphatically. Now that the sun was around her, she naturally wanted Cole to feel its radiance as well.

……

That night, with Mora in hand, the rest was easy.

Yu Jin quickly rented a fairly spacious house and furnished it.

However, while waiting for night to fall, Galura was always restless. If it weren't for Yu Jin's words of comfort, she probably would have run off to look for Kolai on her own long ago.

"It's time, I'm leaving!" Yu Jin glanced at the sky and realized that this was the perfect moment to kill... cough cough, save someone.

"Okay, Brother Yu Jin, be careful." Galura looked at Yu Jin with teary eyes.

[No way? Trying a softer approach?] Ember already knew that Galura wanted to go out with him, but she would definitely use the power of the demon god remnants within him again.

Ember didn't mention it, and Garuda wisely refrained from making any demands.

But this little girl seems to be up to something. Unfortunately, Ember is the type who responds better to gentle persuasion than force.

"How do you know I can't stand seeing others cry? Get up here, and don't use your inner power!"

Without much hesitation, Yu Jin squatted down and spoke to Galura.

For him, taking an ordinary person into battle was hardly a burden. His martial arts skills had already surpassed the realm that ordinary people could imagine.

Although it was burned again in the French Ring World, it only lost power, not experience.

"Hehe, I knew it, Brother Yu Jin is the best. Don't worry, I know Sister Ke Lai very well, I can recognize her from far away."

Galura laughed and climbed onto Yu Jin's back, constantly talking about her own strengths. It seemed she didn't want to be seen as a burden.

"Alright, hold on tight, let's go!" Yu Jin shouted softly, and then the two figures disappeared into thin air.

"Hmm, it seems my magic hasn't gotten too rusty yet." Ember muttered to himself before leaping onto the roof like a nimble wildcat.

Vanishing into nothingness—the night magic of the magic town of Seria, which makes the caster unrecognizable after being cast, is a magic used by the assassins of Seria.

However, Ember used it this time to save someone.

At the same time, Ember also used Assassin's Footwork, employing a two-pronged approach that almost silenced his voice.

Ember carried Galura on his back; his somewhat bulky frame possessed an unusual agility. He leaped across the rooftops of Mondstadt, searching for the girl who unleashed the black flames.

……

"Hiss—, ha—" Cole exhaled a breath of stale air and wandered aimlessly through the city.

The wounds, set against the backdrop of solitude, brought her even more pain.

Just like Galura before her, she was covered in bandages and wore a tattered cloak.

However, many of her bandages were burned off, revealing festering, suppurating skin underneath—the price of using black fire.

It was precisely because of this that she was always suspected of having some unknown infectious disease, and people would either refuse her entry into the city or beat and scold her.

Even Mondstadt, which is known for its freedom and tolerance, only managed to sneak in during the chaos caused by the Blackfire case.

Naturally, once she entered the city, she had nowhere to go.

Before she knew it, Korra had arrived at the Aeolus Square in Mondstadt.

Looking up at the colossal statue of the wind god before him, an inexplicable anger welled up within him, and Kolei's voice gradually shifted from murmurs to a roar:

"Fools, Ice God! God!!!"

"Ah!" Cole knelt on the ground in agony, the remnants of the demon god within her body beginning to stir again. Looking at the statue before her, she felt even more that the enormous statue was looking down on her.

"Heh heh, truly powerful, God! Why? Why?!"

"You're all so powerful, why did you still have to ruin my life?!"

Unable to suppress the turmoil within her any longer, large plumes of black flames erupted from her body, rushing towards the colossal statue in the distance.

"Sister Ke Lai!"

"Wait a moment!"

Two girls' voices rang out simultaneously. Yu Jin looked in the direction of the voices and found that besides him and Galura, there was another beautiful girl with brown hair dressed in fiery red.

“Ga..., Galura!!!” Kore quickly recognized Galura, whose appearance had changed drastically, and her face, which had been distorted by hatred, regained a sliver of clarity.

"No... don't come near me! Hurry... run away!" Cole shouted as he saw Galuro and Amber running towards him.

Cole didn't want to hurt anyone, but she couldn't control herself right now.

Seeing the black flames rushing towards her, Galura did not dodge. She trusted her sister Cora and she trusted Ember.

Amber did not dodge either. She only saw a poor girl who needed help. As for the others, she would deal with them later!

Seeing the black flames about to touch Galura and Amber, a look of despair appeared on Cole's face.

But soon, a scene that shocked her appeared!

The black flames that had been surging like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey immediately stopped. As if they had spotted some natural enemy, they began to retreat rapidly back into Cole's body.

Ke Lai could feel the demonic remnants within her body were terrified! They were cowering fearfully in the deepest part of her body, like a docile sheep.

"Black flames? That might not work."

"Want me to teach you the real Black Flame? The kind that can kill gods?" Ember extinguished the small cluster of black flames at his fingertips and said to the stunned Cole.

"Sister Cole, you really made it to Mondstadt! I knew you could escape!" Galura bombarded Cole, who was still in shock, with a barrage of questions.

"Ah...ah! Haha, lucky you. But Garu, what happened to you? You look completely different now!" It took Cora a while to come to her senses.

She pinched Galura's cheek and stroked her hair. She remembered that Galura's symptoms were much more severe.

"Hehe, it was Brother Ember who saved me." Garu gave a silly laugh. If it weren't for Ember, she would definitely have been captured by the Fatui right now.

Upon hearing this, Kry turned her head and saw that Ember was squatting next to Amber, staring intently at the Eye of God on her waist.

"Is this the Eye of God?" Ember asked curiously, staring at the ruby-like Eye of God on Amber's waist.

“Of course!” Amber raised her head with some pride; this Eye of God was her pride and joy.

"Hey old man, how long are you going to keep watching?" Amber couldn't help but remind him, sensing the still burning gaze of the embers.

"How could someone so strong not have the Eye of God!" Amber thought to herself. "Ember must be making fun of her."

"Oh, sorry." Ember stood up. He had just taken a close look at the Eye of God and felt that he could give it a try.

【Let me show you what an IQ of 99 really means!】 Yu Jin was filled with confidence, completely forgetting that he had been just as confident when he was cooking.

"Have you finished talking?" Yu Jin walked over to Galuro and Cole and found that they were both looking at him.

"Brother Yu Jin, Sister Ke Lai, can you heal me?"

"Is what you just said true?"

Two different people will naturally ask different questions.

"Of course, no problem! But shouldn't we go? They're coming soon!" Yu Jin patted his chest, giving the two a confident answer.

Then he squatted down, and Garura skillfully lay down on top of him.

Standing up, Ember looked at the somewhat silent Cole and said to Galuro, "Hold on tight, I'm not going to support you anymore."

Upon hearing this, Galura seemed to realize something, and she immediately clamped her legs tightly around Ember's body and wrapped her arms tightly around his neck.

"Hehe, don't worry, Brother Yu Jin, I won't fall." Then she looked at Yu Jin and Ke Lai with some anticipation.

"Hey! Hey! What are you doing!"

Ignoring Cole's tantrum, Ember simply scooped her up in a princess carry.

"What else can I do? Time to go home!" With that, Ember dashed out.

"Going home?" Cole stopped struggling and asked absentmindedly, feeling the continuous flow of heat in Yu Jin's chest.

It's like she's found the sun.
