The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

"Huh? Really?" Yu Jintian genuinely believed it.

Then he said earnestly, "Lisa, I'm not trying to be mean, but those who ask for this kind of reward are probably not good people. If you have any doubts in the future, you can come to me. I don't want anything."

"Hahaha!" Lisa couldn't help but laugh when she saw Yu Jin rambling on and on.

"What are you laughing at? I'm serious." Yu Jin put on a serious face, though it wasn't visible through the helmet.

"Okay, I'll come to you if I have any problems in the future." Lisa was still laughing heartily while clutching her stomach.

After a long while, under Ember's gaze, Lisa stopped laughing. She tidied her messy hair and whispered to Ember:

"Thank you!"

"Thank you for what?"

"I'm calling you an idiot!"

"???"

"It's decided, from now on I'll call you Little Silly! Little Silly~"

Yu Jin stared at Lisa with a blank expression, feeling that he couldn't quite keep up with her train of thought.

He's not stupid at all. His intelligence is top-notch in the borderlands, and even in this world, he believes he's still among the best.

However, he didn't care. Yu Jin could tell that Lisa didn't really think he was stupid.

"Let him call out once, it won't hurt him. Besides, he thinks Lisa is having a good time calling out."

"Alright, it's getting late, I need to go back now, otherwise the two little ones at home will start making a fuss again." Yu Jin looked out the window at the pitch black outside and felt it was time to leave.

"See you tomorrow, you silly goose~" Lisa sat back down in her chair and waved to Ember.

"Mm." Yu Jin nodded, got up and walked towards the door.

"By the way, you can be bolder in the future. I see further than you, and I understand you more deeply than you do."

"Knowledge does not invite taboos; on the contrary, the darkness of human nature is the greatest taboo."

"Remember this: if your body is reduced to a non-human form, I can still pull you back, but if your soul is also reduced to a non-human form, then I can only apologize."

Yu Jin thought for a moment, and finding no flaws, continued, "That's all, that's it."

"Bye~"

Lisa listened to Ember's words in silence for a long time. After a while, her relieved whisper echoed in the library:

"Heh, naivety and erudition, wisdom and foolishness, which one is the real you?"

"And also, you said I learned it on my first day of school, you idiot~"

……

Mondstadt was quiet as night approached, with only the sound of embers clashing against each other echoing through the streets.

"Drink! Ha!" A girl's shout suddenly came from beside him. Yu Jin looked in the direction of the sound and found a panting girl standing in an open space below him.

In front of her lay several battered wooden stakes, which, judging from the marks, had been beaten many times.

The girl rested for a while, then continued to chop at the wooden stake. Seemingly due to a lack of training, she simply chopped away without any other movements.

After watching for a while, Yu Jin realized that it really was just slashing; apart from being able to exercise the body, it had almost no other effect.

Looking at the time and then at the girl's forehead, which was covered in sweat, Yu Jin felt that he should help her.

But let's wait and see. Giving power requires utmost caution. He needs to make sure the girl isn't just acting on a whim.

Thinking of this, Yu Jin withdrew his peeked-out head again. He'd check back tomorrow morning.

Ember walked away silently. Eileen, panting heavily, sensed something. She looked up and wondered if someone had just been there.

Shaking her head to clear her mind of irrelevant thoughts, Eileen rubbed her aching arms. Today's goal wasn't achieved yet; she couldn't let her guard down!

"Snap!" "Drink!" "Clang!" After a brief silence, the girl's voice of struggle rang out again in the small open space.

"Phew! We're almost there." Yu Jin saw a light on in a house not far away and quickened his pace.

"Click!" Yu Jin pushed the door open and saw Galuro and Cole playing around.

"Looks like you're full of energy! Tell me what you've accomplished today?" Yu Jin asked, looking at the girls in their pajamas.

“There’s nothing here. The story is great. I don’t know anything!” Galura answered first.

“Walk around more, do things similar to those in Miracles, and try to understand the emotions within them,” Ember replied casually.

He wasn't at all troubled by Galura's incompetence, because he already knew the outcome.

Even the simplest miracle cannot be mastered by someone with no prior knowledge in a single day.

"It's so difficult. There are many counterintuitive conclusions in the book. I've only finished a quarter of the book in a day, and I've only skimmed through a lot of it."

Unlike Galuro, Cole found the book that Ember had given her somewhat difficult to read and was afraid she wouldn't be able to learn it.

"That's normal, don't worry. As long as you don't have any intellectual disabilities, you'll learn it sooner or later. Besides, you're very fast; you have talent."

Yu Jin was slightly surprised when he heard what Cole said. He hadn't expected that Cole actually had a talent for learning to pray.

Overjoyed, he then thought of something and said, "Tomorrow we'll go out and deal with the remnants of the demon god in your bodies. They're a hidden danger after all, and it's not good to leave them."

"And Cole's illness also needs to be treated."

Upon hearing Ember's words, Cole and Galuro stiffened. So much normal life over such a long period had almost made them forget those dark days.

But smiles quickly returned to their faces, because they believed in Ember; with him there, no problem was insurmountable.

Chapter 15 Regression Principle

2023-08-28

At dawn, the sky over Mondstadt was just beginning to lighten, and the city was still fast asleep.

However, there are always some people who are one step ahead of others, such as Eileen who is doing her morning exercise, and Ember who is secretly watching Eileen's morning exercise.

"Hey! Brother Ember, you don't actually like her, do you? You've only been in Mondstadt for a short time!" Cole said somewhat displeasedly as she saw Ember staring intently at Eileen.

"What are you thinking! I just saw a promising talent and thought I could help him out." Yu Jin stroked his chin, already considering what to teach Eileen.

“Let’s go. Let’s find a secluded place to work on this properly. Your illness is a bit troublesome.” After making up his mind, Yu Jin first carried Galuro on his back, then picked up Cole and dashed away.

"Wa ...

"Hahaha!"

"It's so noisy! Why wasn't it this noisy when I first met you guys?"

Along the way, the three of them chatted about everything under the sun, and in the blink of an eye, they had traveled all over Mondstadt.

Finally, after passing through a narrow canyon, a massive wind barrier appeared before Ember.

He reached out and touched it; the howling wind, like sharp blades, struck Ember's gauntlets, making a crackling sound.

Fortunately, it was within tolerable limits. Ember put down Galuro and Cole and took out a staff.

Then he waved his hand, and a wave of emerald light rippled out from the gem on the staff.

Wherever the light waves reached, the restless wind immediately stopped.

Tops' Force Field—Tops, known as the Waste Rock, has explored magic with his life's work.

It can create a magical field that dispels magic and prayer. The field will continuously form during its continuous casting.

"Clang clang clang!" The crisp sound of ripples of light continued to come, and soon Ember led Garugcolai out of the wind barrier.

As Yu Jin looked up, a massive bridge appeared before him. At the end of the bridge, a towering, crumbling tower stood against the howling wind.

"What a great place!" Yu Jin exclaimed. It was a place with few people and plenty of land, perfectly meeting the requirements.

Although the wind was getting stronger, it was all too familiar to Ember, who had traversed Wind Howling Hill.

Of course, Ember also had to consider whether Galuro and Cole could withstand the howling winds all around.

So he chose to go to that tower for treatment.

However, as he approached the tower, Ember saw another wind barrier that firmly sealed the entire tower.

Ember reached out another hand to try and touch the wind barrier.

"Slap!" Yu Jin felt as if his palm had been struck hard. He looked at his palm and then at the air currents that were almost solidified in front of him.

"Boom!" Yu Jin plunged both hands into the wind wall, the powerful gusts of wind churning his arms, trying to tear him to shreds.

"You think you're so great?!" Yu Jin roared, exerting force with both arms.

At that moment, he caught the wind!

"Whoosh!" As Yu Jin spread his arms wide, the howling wind was instantly swept away by him!

Instantly, the world became clear and bright!

"Let's go!" Yu Jin glanced at the somewhat shocked Galuro and Cole, and when he found they didn't react, he simply dragged them inside.

"Wow...that was amazing!" Galura's eyes lit up; what she just witnessed was absolutely incredible!

"Brother Yu Jin, just how strong are you?!" This was the first time Ke Lai had ever seen Yu Jin make a move. The previous time was more of a deterrent, and the target wasn't even her, so it didn't shock her as much as this time.

After all, this is how you part the fierce wind!

"Huh? Haha, it's nothing, it's nothing. I don't like fighting, and I'm not that strong. Don't overthink it."

Upon hearing what Galuro and Cole said, Yu Jin was overjoyed and waved his hand smugly as he spoke.

That was practically telling them to think more.

Cole and Galuro twitched their lips. Very well, the Ember brother they knew was just that unreliable.

"Alright, find a comfortable position to sit in. Let me check your bodies." Yu Jin didn't forget the important matter; he only boasted for a short while before restraining himself.

Upon hearing this, Cora and Galuro sat down shoulder to shoulder. Seeing them settled, Ember walked behind them.

Ember placed his hands on Galuro and Cole's shoulders, and through their dry eyes, he saw a flickering pale white flame in the center of each of their bodies.

This is their soul.

However, their souls were corrupted. A dark cloud swirled around Garura's soul, constantly trying to invade it.

But each time it tried, orange-red flames would emerge and repel it—this was the power of the embers. Because of their power, the remnants of the demon god were not yet able to threaten Galura.
