The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

"Storm Dragon, Paimon, have you forgotten what Lisa told us?"

"What? How did you know I scared Stormterror away?"

"Stare—" ×3

The eyes of Ying, Paimon, and Wendy immediately focused on Ember, making him even more guilty.

"You...you don't need to worry, maybe, probably, perhaps, it's just some psychological trauma," Ember explained, feeling Wendy's murderous gaze.

"What did you do to Dvalin?!" Wendy, disregarding his conversation with Luminous, immediately rushed to Ember's side and asked anxiously.

He was afraid that Ember might accidentally kill Dvalin.

Yu Jin scratched his head, pushed Wendy away, and said, "He's fine. I just called a group of people to use him to train the newbies. I didn't lift a finger, so don't worry about it!"

"Really?"

"That's true!"

"Well, alright, as long as nothing bad happens to him." Wendy could only let it go after hearing that Dvalin was alright.

What can he do if he doesn't give up? Fight Ember? Even if he ties up Dvalin now, he probably wouldn't be enough for Ember to beat.

"Um, do you know what's going on?" Ying's voice came, and then she walked over holding a large, pure teardrop.

Yu Jin looked at Ying and thought, "As expected of the protagonist, she easily accomplished what ordinary people cannot!"

But Wendy wasn't as calm as Ember. He looked at the large, crystal-clear teardrop in Ying's hand, and with a heavy expression, he also took out a tear.

However, this tear was bright red, and it also emitted an ominous and dangerous aura from time to time.

“Dvalin used to be a gentle child, but now he’s become so sad. I have a teardrop crystal here; try purifying it.” Wendy presented the teardrop crystal to Luminous.

As Ying listened to Wendy recount Dvalin's past, she accepted the crimson teardrop crystal.

The teardrop crystals rose steadily in Ying's hand. Eventually, the crimson color faded, and the teardrops became pure and clear.

Upon seeing this scene, Wendy's expression changed from serious to relaxed.

It seems that Dvalin can now be freed from the corrosive effects of the poisonous blood.

Chapter 123 Conversation at the Land Where the Wind Rises

2023-08-28

“Ah! Someone like you is destined to grace the pages of bards’ poems,” Wendy remarked, looking at Ying. Then, seemingly referring to something else, she added:

"Standing in the sun will surely make a hero, but standing in the shade can also lead to disaster..."

"???" Ember felt that Wendy's praise was completely nonsensical. Although Luminous was amazing now, was she really that powerful?

Whoever orchestrates a catastrophe? Ember would be the first to smash his head in. After much thought, Ember could only attribute it to the protagonist's charm. He won Wendy's praise at their very first meeting.

By the way, it seems that Ying also obtained some honorary knighthood, which he couldn't get even after clearing out all the monsters in Mondstadt!

However, this is also related to the fact that Ying helped out of obligation, and Yu Jin did so for Mora.

Seeing the teardrop crystals like this reminds me of someone I know. Excuse me for now.

"Hey! Where are you going?"

"Goodbye, on your way to [Symbol of Mondstadt Heroes]!"

Ember watched as Wendy seemed to have come up with some plan, then hurriedly left Anemo Plaza, leaving Luminosity and Paimon looking completely bewildered.

Ying turned around and looked at Yu Jin with a puzzled expression. She found Wendy to be a very strange person, and she already had her own guesses.

Yu Jin met Ying's gaze and said with a smile, "Since you have an idea, why don't you just go after him and ask? Besides, he didn't stop you from going to him."

“The symbol of Mondstadt heroes…” Ember pondered for a moment, then pointed in a direction and said, “If I remember correctly, it should be that big oak tree outside the city.”

"Yes, I understand, thank you, senior." Ying nodded, looking at the huge oak tree whose canopy was faintly visible in the distance.

"Good to know. I'm leaving now, bye-bye." Seeing Ying's thoughtful expression, Yu Jin waved and left the Wind God Square.

"Hey! He just said you have an idea in your mind, what is it?" Paimon saw the embers gradually disappear and started circling around the glow.

"It's nothing, let's go, Paimon! Let's go take a look under that big oak tree!" Ying stretched and walked towards the outskirts of Mondstadt.

……

"What are you doing here too?" Wendy arrived under the big tree in the Windrise, only to find that Ember had arrived before him!

"Why can't I come? I felt sorry for Dvalin, so I came here to think of a solution." Ember crossed his arms and looked at Wendy without any fear.

Wendy couldn't hold back any longer. He nudged Ember helplessly and said, "My dear brother, don't make things worse. You're not thinking of drugging Dvalin and then pulling out his poisonous blood, are you?"

"That's a good idea, I'll make a note of it." Yu Jin stroked his chin. No wonder he's a poet, his mind works so fast!

While he was at a loss for ideas, others had already come up with solutions!

"No, pretend I didn't say anything." Wendy saw that Ember seemed to be seriously considering how to kill Dvalin, and immediately began to dissuade him.

“Tvalin is strong now, but also very weak. He has burned himself out and can no longer withstand your blows.” Wendy walked to the tree, her voice somewhat somber.

Ember patted Wendy on the shoulder, shook his head, and said reassuringly, "Tsk, since you put it that way, how about we go with the softer approach, okay?"

"Hehe, then why don't you listen to me? I have a good plan!" Wendy chuckled a few times when she heard that Ember had given up on his plan to force his way through.

“Sure, I don’t have anything else to do anyway!” Ember sat on the ground and nodded. He also felt a little sorry for that big guy, Dvalin.

He suffered the torment of black blood for centuries while protecting Mondstadt, but when he awoke, no one remembered him. Not only that, he also had to endure the corruption of the abyss mages.

How can it be a tragic word!

"How are you feeling?" Ember glanced at Wendy beside him, who was humming an unknown lullaby, and asked.

He had just noticed something amiss; there seemed to be an aura within Wendy that didn't belong to him.

"You mean those abyssal toxins? They're mostly healed now. That little guy has the power to purify the abyss, isn't that amazing?"

Wendy touched her chest; the previous feeling of congestion was gone, replaced by a refreshing sensation from the smooth flow of air.

"She's amazing, the one who gathers storms. Following her will surely bring plenty of fun." Ember looked into the distance, where two figures were rushing towards them.

Wendy looked at Ember with surprise when she heard his words. "You know astrology?"

"Guess?" Ember didn't answer, but instead gave Wendy a riddle.

This infuriated Wendy. He used to be the one telling riddles to others, but now it was her turn to be the one doing it.

However, he didn't say anything more to Ember, because Luminous and Paimon arrived.

"Hehe, I knew you guys would come."

"Ying, and Paimon, you two are great!"

Ying looked at Ember with some surprise. It wasn't surprising that Wendy was here, but why was Ember here too?

"Hey? What are you doing here?" Paimon asked the question that was on Ying's mind.

Ember patted his behind, stood up, and said, "I'm here to help with Wendy's plan. What about you?"

“I want to know more about the Wind God,” Ying asked, her eyes fixed intently on Wendy.

However, Wendy seemed not to hear him. He pondered for a moment, then said with slight surprise, "Barbatos, the wind god? That guy has been missing for a long time."

"The Geo Archon of Liyue and the Electro Archon of Inazuma are still here, but the Mondstadt people haven't seen their gods for a long time..."

Wendy was talking to Luminous about the Anemo Archon when he suddenly stopped. He looked at Luminous and said, "It's been a long time since I've been back here. It seems something is quite unhappy about my arrival."

"It's up to you!" Wendy smiled and glanced at Ying, who was holding a sword, before disappearing without a trace.

Suddenly, the wind stirred, and a monster that Ember had never seen before appeared.

It resembles a suspended green gemstone lantern. The main body, glowing with emerald green light, is surrounded by a dark blue outer shell formed from the sedimentation of rich wind elements.

The Core of Gale is an extremely rare monster, only occasionally found where the earth's veins are blocked.

Ying felt the incredibly turbulent wind elemental energy around her, and a bitter taste rose in her mouth. Why was it that even though her strength hadn't recovered much, she was encountering such powerful opponents?

The pressure exerted on Luminous by the raging core before her was immense. Luminous estimated that even if she could destroy it, she would be severely injured.

But her unease quickly dissipated.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Yu Jin ran up to her and threw a series of punches.

The immense force of the punch compressed the air layer by layer, and with each punch Yu Jin threw, a visible air cannon swept across the scene.

The wind element is still restless, but this time, the "wind" itself is even more frenzied than the wind element!

Even though the fist was thrown into the air, its immense force still stirred up a lot of dust, making the surroundings dark.

The wind is rising.

The thick, solid outer shell of the Gale Core could not withstand the force of the embers' fist for long before turning into dissipating elements and vanishing into the world.

Watching the core of the raging wind gradually transform into pure elements, Ember nodded in satisfaction, having learned something new.

He then ran up to Wendy, who hadn't gone far but had frozen in place.

"Hey, keep going! I'm still really interested in these Seven Gods!" Ember patted the dazed Wendy, making the latter shudder.

"Wow! What was that move you just made, senior? Aren't elemental creatures supposed to be immune to attacks from the same element?" Ying came to her senses and ran to Ember's side to ask curiously.

Ember laughed and then said, "I didn't use elemental power."

"Then how..." Ying was even more puzzled. How could a gale of that magnitude be stirred up without elemental power?

"Look!" Ember said, throwing a punch at Ying, then stopping at her forehead. Ying's hair swayed a few times in the breeze from the punch.

"Just increase the power and speed of this process by a thousand times, ten thousand times." Ember turned his fist into a palm and flicked Ying's forehead.

"It's that simple!"

As soon as Yu Jin finished speaking, three more people stood there dumbfounded.

Chapter 124 Stealing the Qin

"Is this what you call a plan?" Ember asked incredulously, looking at the furtive Wendy and Luminous in front of the Cathedral of Favonius.

The wind god wants to reclaim the harp he once played, and he actually tries to steal it?
