The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

Chapter 8 Daily life

2023-08-28

At the border, the once towering golden trees have vanished. A blazing sun has taken their place.

Although this sun was not as dazzling as the golden tree, it continuously radiated light and heat in the sky.

Compared to the golden tree, the sun's presence is much less noticeable, to the point that people sometimes subconsciously ignore its existence.

"Phew! Today's work is finally over!" Godwin stretched from his desk. The busy work was over, and now it was time for some pleasant leisure time.

Now, as the governor of the border region, he has too many things to deal with.

However, thanks to Patch's extensive knowledge, the Borderlands have now broken free from the original system of one god and one king.

The ensuing reshuffling of the governing staff also greatly reduced Godwin's burden.

"Truly worthy of being the King's friend, who could have imagined the power of a system could be so great?" Godwin smiled and shook his head, realizing he still had much to learn.

Closing the document, Godwin finished his day's work.

[Let's go back and ask Mr. Patch about today's questions!] Godwin thought to himself, his so-called free time being used to dispel his doubts.

As soon as Godwin stepped out of the government affairs hall, he saw Michaela, who had also finished her work.

Although Mikaela is petite, her beautiful face embodies all the beauty in the world.

Michaela, the divine being—a divine being of pure golden law, whose sacred tree is all-encompassing, and who himself possesses the authority to make others fall in love with him.

Because Michaela treats everyone equally, he is now the magistrate of the border region, whose power is no less than Michaela's.

Michaela nodded to Godwin as a greeting. However, neither of them stopped to talk, because they knew they had more important things to do.

Separating from the newly built Royal Avenue, Michaela headed straight for Rodel's Grand Arena.

Since the embers consumed her, Malenia has become even more taciturn, spending her days fighting, fighting relentlessly.

Fortunately, after the first king, Gofule, relinquished his royal title, he reclaimed his name as the warrior Holly Lou and fought alongside Malenia in the Great Arena.

"Boom!" The closer they got to the arena, the stronger the tremors became on the ground.

Fortunately, Lani and Renara had a forbidden spell cast together in the arena, otherwise Rodel wouldn't have been able to defeat the two of them.

Michaela casually sat down in a seat, knowing that Malenia needed to vent. As her brother, all he could do now was stay by her side.

Below the Altan Plateau, thousands of miles away from the royal city of Rodel, Lani and Rataen stood in front of the Dikedas elevator.

"Have you looked at the blueprints? If you have any questions, tell me now." Lani remained indifferent.

"Hahaha, don't underestimate your brother. I'm one of the top gravity mages in the borderlands, after all," Ratan, clad in heavy armor, laughed.

"Everyone! Get out of the way!" Rataen shouted, drawing everyone's attention.

Seeing that everyone else had stepped back, Lani nodded subtly. Even if it wasn't a battle, the aftershocks of a demigod's full power were something that ordinary people couldn't withstand.

The snow witch's cloak billowed open, revealing Lani's arms holding four top-tier magic staffs.

Then, a blue light first gathered on the four staffs, followed by four huge blue beams of light bursting out from the staffs!

Comet Azle – one of the Origin Magicians, Azle's magic. One of the legendary magics.

It is said that pyroxene originated in the distant starry sky. It can release cosmic torrents—extremely large comets.

The surging torrent of starlight crashed against the cliffs of the Yatan Plateau. While Lani was casting the Four Comets Azle, she was also distracted by controlling the speed and direction of the starlight torrent.

Seeing this, Rataen, standing to the side, also felt a faint purple light emanate from the Star Shattering Greatsword in his hand.

Under Rataen's superb gravity magic, the tunnel that Lani had crawled through was quickly solidified!

Before long, the roaring sound of the rushing water subsided, and a tunnel with a diameter of tens of meters and a length of tens of kilometers appeared before everyone's eyes.

From then on, no one needed any talismans to travel to the Yatan Plateau; this tunnel was open to everyone!

"Let's go to the next location." Lani didn't linger; there were still many facilities at the border waiting for her to rebuild.

The Broken War began with her, and although the shattered human race has been repaired by the embers, the world remains broken.

Repairing the broken world is both her atonement and what Ember hopes for.

On the other side of the world, atop a giant cauldron of flames, a beautiful figure sits on the edge of the cauldron's gap.

Melina stared blankly at the rekindled flames of the evil god, stroking the spirit horse whistle in her hand.

Her fate should have ended there, but the embers reversed it. She did not die, but the mission she once relied on for survival was lost.

Fortunately, Melina quickly found a new mission for herself. Since she could not become the king's seed, she would do as she had once told the king—to become the king's witch and serve him.

But soon, even this mission vanished with the burning of the king.

Watching the giants bustling around the cauldron, Melina felt lost; she seemed to have lost her purpose in life.

Some were happy while others were sad. Melina's sorrow obviously couldn't disturb Patch's joy. His long-awaited Patch Shop had finally opened—and the goods were sourced through legitimate means!

"Ding-dong!" A crisp bell rang, signaling someone to enter the store.

"Wow, welcome... um..."

"Am I dreaming? Don't joke around! Wake up! This isn't fun!" Patch's expression quickly changed from a beaming smile to utter terror.

The shop door closed automatically, darkness poured in, and a figure emerged from the darkness, walking towards Patch.

The long, black dress trailed on the ground, exuding elegance while also highlighting the woman's beautiful curves.

Her cloud-like shawl added a touch of femininity to her appearance, and beneath it were her arms wrapped in black bandages, which, combined with the crown-like eye mask on her face, made her even more mysterious.

"Then, Lady Patch, what do you need to send me to Lord Ember's world?" the Fire Keeper asked.

……

"Clang clang clang!" Ember held up his brass shield, and a wooden stick struck the shield.

"The sun's high in the sky! Get up!" With Ember's shout and the clanging of the brass shield, two smaller finger witches soon appeared in front of Ember.

"Alright, hurry up and wash up and eat! I'll take you shopping for clothes later." Yu Jin waved his hand and decided on today's itinerary.

"Oh! Yay! I'm buying clothes!" Galura exclaimed with delight. Shopping is one of the things girls love to do most, and Galura is no exception.

"..." Cole hadn't yet recovered from her escape, but she still managed a smile despite her silence.

Although they haven't come out yet, they're heading out, aren't they?

"Alright, let's show Ke Lai my culinary skills today." Yu Jin patted his chest confidently, producing a series of metallic clanging sounds.

Galuro snapped out of her daze and hurriedly pulled Cole into the kitchen, shouting:

"Brother Ember, you should leave your cooking skills to the Fatui. Let us girls handle the cooking!"

Then, with a loud "bang!", the kitchen door slammed shut. It seems that the meal Yu Jin had given Garura still left a deep impression.

However, Yu Jin didn't pay attention to any of this. He rubbed his chin and started thinking again.

[The Fools? How come I didn't think of that!] Ember clapped his hands. With the Fools tasting his food, his cooking skills would definitely improve by leaps and bounds.

Soon, a simple breakfast was served on the table by Galuro and Cole.

At the dining table, Galura stared intently at Ember's helmet, while Cole, though eating with her head down, would occasionally glance in Ember's direction.

It seems the two girls reached some kind of little agreement in the kitchen.

Ember picked up a piece of bread, deliberately slowing down his pace. At this moment, Galura's gaze was already drawn to Ember's hand holding the food, and Cole also stopped eating.

The flatbread slowly approached Ember's helmet, and the girl's breathing became heavy.

But just as the flatbread approached Ember's helmet, the two only saw a shadow tremble, and then the flatbread in Ember's hand disappeared.

"Ugh!" Galura slammed her hand on the table in frustration, realizing she hadn't even seen what Yu Jin looked like!

Cole resumed eating, though a small amount of resentment arose within her.

[Hmph! Even the Fire Keeper has never seen what I look like, and these two little girls want to see it?] Although the appearance of a zombie is not something to be proud of, Ember still proudly raised his head.

"Knock knock knock!" A rapid knocking sound rang out on the door.

"I'm here!" Yu Jin put away his proud demeanor, replied, and walked towards the gate.

Good morning, uncle!

A vibrant Amber appeared before Ember.

Chapter 9 A New Storm? Or a New Opportunity?

"Do you think I'm old?" Ember looked at Amber. Although Amber was indeed quite old, Ember felt that he was still a young man.

"Hehe, I just thought only those old-fashioned uncles would wear such heavy armor." Amber scratched her head a little embarrassedly.

"Alright, call me whatever you want, I'm not one to care about these things." Yu Jin shrugged, then called out to Galuro and Cole inside the room:

"Eat quickly! Someone wants to hang out with you!"

Amber didn't refute it. She had taken a day off specifically to help Cole adapt to life in Mondstadt.

"By the way, I still don't know your name?" Ember was about to greet Amber, but then he realized that he didn't even know her name, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"My name is Amber, and I am a scout knight of the Knights of Favonius!" Amber gave Ember a bright smile upon hearing this.

Ember nodded. What a cheerful girl. He reached out and pulled Amber into the house, saying:

“Amber, right? My name is Ember, the one who’s eating like a madman is Galura, and the one next to him is Cole.”

“Wo...Wo, Wo, Chai Bu Xiong!” Galura propped up her full cheeks, trying to refute Yu Jin’s words.

"Alright, alright, I know you're a lady, finish your meal first!" Yu Jin waved his hand, dismissing Galura.

“We’re planning to buy new clothes, Amber, are you coming too?” Ember said to Amber, who was already sitting at the table.

“Oh? Then I can be your guide. I know Mondstadt very well!” Amber immediately volunteered and raised her hand.

"Haha, shopping with friends! It's such a vibrant thing," Yu Jin chuckled and exclaimed.

Upon hearing Ember's words, both Galuro and Cole unconsciously sped up their eating.

They were getting impatient.
