The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

Franz is only now realizing how incredibly sharp-tongued his older sister can be.

"The one chosen to go to the next world is you, and it is the king's own will." Franzsonx said briefly, giving Lancesonx no chance to speak.

"Huh? You heard me right, you called me?" Lance Sanks was a little confused. Her relationship with Ember could only be described as her being very grateful to Ember, and it was one-sided.

For Ember, he was probably just one of the many beings he had saved, nothing more.

"I heard that there are dragons in that world too, but he's pitiful, all alone. The king wants you to go and comfort him." Franzx recalled what Black Knife had said, and it seemed to be true.

"Heh, I get it, a honey trap, huh?" Lance Sanks confidently raised his dragon head. Whether in dragon form or human form, he was undeniably beautiful and captivating.

Vic is completely blind!

"Where did you get that from?" Franzx couldn't understand. Was this the mother dragon's thought process? He was a little lost.

"Are you thinking something rude?" Lance Sanx sensed something and turned to look at Fran Sanx.

“No.” Franz shook his head. His dragon form was perfect for lying, and his expression never changed.

"So, are you going?" Franz asked. A honey trap—it seemed like a despicable scheme. Would his older sister agree to it?

"Go!" Lance Sanx's dragon body transformed into specks of white light, which then coalesced, and a woman emerged from the light.

The woman had white hair and golden eyes, wore a golden crown on her head, had two horns, and was dressed in a pure white ceremonial veil. She looked sacred and pure.

Lance Sanks touched his smooth, flawless cheeks and nodded in satisfaction. Time had left no trace on him.

"Get down, go through the portal, I don't want to fly."

"Oh."

Chapter 134 The smell of conspiracy

2023-08-28

On a hillside with a wide view, Ember was huddled in the bushes, just as he had when he first met Dvalin in the Windrise.

However, Dvalin is probably still weeping in the Wind Dragon Ruins and definitely won't be able to come. This time, it's the Fatui, who haven't made a move in a long time.

In the desolate wilderness, amidst the shadowy activity and the presence of an evil organization… Ember immediately sensed an aura of conspiracy emanating from him.

So he naturally went into hiding, waiting for an opportunity to thwart the Fools' plot!

"Hey, did you bring your things?"

"Don't question the efficiency of the Fools. On the contrary, have you brought enough?" As he spoke, the masked Fool rubbed his fingers together.

"Hmph! What a joke! The Lawrence family has been rooted in Mondstadt for a thousand years. They have plenty of such vulgar people!" Opposite the Fools was an arrogant and well-dressed man.

He lifted the box in his hand, seemingly quite dissatisfied with the Fools' doubts.

Despite the man's imperious manner, the Fatui members opposite him remained unperturbed. This was typical of the old nobles of Mondstadt; they cared little for such things as long as they achieved their goals.

“That’s good. This isn’t the place to talk. Come with me.” The Fools nodded in satisfaction, then turned to leave with Schubert Lawrence.

The latter nodded in agreement, acknowledging that conducting business in the open air was indeed beneath the dignity of the nobility.

Hearing their conversation from afar, the embers immediately knew that this must be a conspiracy between the Fools and this Schubert Lawrence.

So, with the idea of ​​nipping the conspiracy in the bud, a huge wooden stick slowly emerged from the bushes.

It has brought sleep to many fools, and I believe this time will be no exception.

Just as Ember was about to pounce like a cheetah, he suddenly noticed two clumps of bushes approaching him out of the corner of his eye.

Shocking! The bushes in Mondstadt have come to life!

Unfortunately, that's impossible; shrubs can't become sentient, nor can they move.

"Hurry up and take this big stick! We're about to be discovered!" A familiar voice came from the bushes, startling Ember.

"Kaiya, what are you doing here?" Upon hearing this, Ember put away his giant club. Meeting Kaiya in the middle of nowhere was a pleasant surprise.

Kaeya, like Diluc, is always elusive and hard to find. We couldn't find him in Mondstadt, but we found him here.

"This almost ruined our infiltration plan. I'll remember this grudge!" A woman's cold snort came from another bush.

"???" Yu Jin was a little confused, but he quickly recognized the person from the voice.

"Oh—, I remember now, you're the woman who made that lady lose face when she first arrived, right?"

"Nice to meet you, I've been wanting to get to know you for a long time." Suddenly, an iron hand emerged from the bushes, precisely piercing into the bushes where Yura was, and shook hands with her.

"You..." Yura was speechless upon seeing this. She had always thought she was quite unconventional in Mondstadt, but she never expected Ember to be even more peculiar than her.

As the captain of the Knights' guerrilla squad, Yura often roams outside Mondstadt, destroying monster lairs.

Nevertheless, during her brief stay in the city, she heard that a new great adventurer had emerged in Mondstadt, whose behavior was unusual but who was also very easy to get along with.

Seeing it today, it really does match the rumors.

"Stop shaking hands, they're about to disappear!" Kaeya warned immediately when she saw Ember waving his hand repeatedly into the bushes of Yura.

"Got it, let's follow!" Ember immediately withdrew his hand and quickly followed the Fools and Schubert with the bushes.

Yura and Kaeya were taken aback. They had originally planned to follow him quietly, but seeing Ember's behavior, they had to change their plans.

So, in the wilderness of Mondstadt, two people walked ahead, followed by three moving bushes.

If anyone saw it, they would probably call it a strange sight.

Soon, the Fools and Schubert arrived at a narrow crevice in the mountains. They exchanged a glance and walked in without looking back.

Seeing this, Yu Jin stood up. He planted a bush beside the narrow opening and said to Kaeya and Yura behind him, "Should we follow them in, or launch a full-scale attack?"

As he spoke, Yu Jin even waved his fist, seemingly eager to try it out.

"Don't make any rash moves." Unlike Ember, Kaeya and Yura didn't care about the environment. They kicked away the bushes they had been sitting on for a long time and stood up as well.

“I remember this place is an abandoned ruin, very complicated. It wouldn’t be good if we alerted them,” Kaya added.

He looked at the narrow crevice. The Fools were indeed good at finding places; given the complexity of the passages within, even if they were discovered, they could escape through some unknown nook or cranny.

"Besides, that man named Schubert is Yura's uncle, and he's very frail."

“If we attack rashly without confirming their guilt, we might hurt him,” Kaeya said to Ember after turning around.

"They actually brought up my relationship with my uncle directly. Were they deliberately trying to embarrass me? Kaiya, I'll remember this grudge!" Yura glanced at Kaiya, then went inside first.

“Let’s go. If we don’t go in now, it’ll be hard to find them.” Kaiya shook his head. What a difficult person.

With that, he and Ember followed closely behind Yura and entered the lost ruins.

Stepping through the somewhat cramped mountain pass, the view suddenly opens up. The spacious corridors, the walls engraved with unknown patterns, and the scattered architectural fragments all tell a story of the long history of this place.

When was this place built? Why was such a grand building constructed in the mountains? These questions have probably long been lost to the river of time.

However, Yu Jin and the others had no time to pay attention to that; their attention had already been drawn to two people not far ahead.

Ember peered ahead from behind a wooden crate. Schubert and the others were walking very slowly, as if taking a stroll. Feeling a bit bored, he looked at Yura, who was intently focused beside him, and asked:

"By the way, why did your uncle associate with the Fools?"

“We are from the Lawrence family,” Yura said simply, and then fell silent.

"What happened to the Lawrence family?" Yu Jin asked curiously. He had never heard of this family before.

Yura looked at Ember with some surprise, then said, "You don't even know Lawrence's name? I'll remember this grudge!"

"No, with so many grudges, how can you tell who's who?" Yu Jin complained when he saw her holding another grudge.

“It’s all here.” As she spoke, Yura pulled out a notebook filled with her notes on “grudges.”

Aside from minor grudges like "I won't sell her anything" or "I ignore what she says," there are also things that don't really count as grudges, such as "Sarah saved food for me again" or "Amber treated me to dinner again."

Yu Jin glanced at it and noticed that the notebook was filled with these things. He looked at Yura; what a strange person.

"Don't look at me like that. All you need to know is that the Lawrence family has caused Mondstadt immense pain; they are all sinners." Yura noticed Ember staring at her and awkwardly turned her head away.

"Hmph, they actually made me recount the sins of my family. I'll remember this grudge!" she muttered to herself.

"You've made me hold a grudge three times in such a short time. I'll remember you!"

"Hehe, as long as you can keep talking to her, holding a grudge three times is too few. What Yura means is that you and she are friends now." Kaeya explained with a smile when she saw Ember's confused look.

Upon hearing this, Yu Jin suddenly realized, "So it's tsundere, huh? That's rare, very rare."

As he spoke, Ember gave Yura a closer look. He'd encountered tsundere characters before; Lani was a tsundere, and he knew her very well.

"Who...who's being arrogant!" Sure enough, Yura immediately denied it.

However, her expression quickly turned serious.

"Watch out, they've stopped."

Chapter 135 Beware of New Types of Scams

2023-08-28

“This is what you asked for, not a penny less.” Schubert sat down at the stone table and placed his briefcase on it.

The Fools opposite opened their briefcases and found them overflowing with Mora vouchers. Judging from the flowing elemental markings on them, the quantity was probably considerable.

"Hahaha, we knew we hadn't chosen the wrong people. They truly live up to the Lawrence family's reputation!" The Fools touched the voucher and immediately beamed with joy.

They didn't look like the Fools; they looked more like con artists. At least, that's what Ember, hiding in the back, thought.

"Good to know. Cooperating with our Lawrence family is absolutely the right choice for you Fools." Schubert almost raised his nose to the sky upon hearing the Fools' praise.

"Where's the stuff?" Schubert stopped boasting after a short while. He wasn't doing charity work.

"Here it is." The Fools waved their hands, and several soldiers carried over a large box.

Upon opening it, one finds a dense array of colorful medicines, which are quite eye-catching.

“This…” Yura caught a glimpse of the contents of the box from afar and immediately remembered the strange drinks that had appeared at the family gathering a few days ago.

Schubert kept urging her to drink more, never imagining that these "drinks" were actually sourced from the Fools. She had thought her uncle had changed his ways!

Yura immediately closed her eyes, carefully sensing the changes within her body. The Fatui's stuff is probably no good.

Unfortunately, she didn't notice anything unusual.

"What's wrong?" Yu Jin asked when he saw Yura's appearance.
