The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

After climbing over a cliff, an ancient port city built by the sea appeared before Yu Jin's eyes.

"Let's see if we can get a permit." Yu Jin looked at the city in front of him, feeling a little itchy. He was a bit sad that he couldn't go in and play.

He concealed himself, silenced himself, and began to skillfully scale walls and rooftops.

The atmosphere in Inazuma was completely different from that in Mondstadt. The city had a distinctly somber atmosphere, with armored soldiers carrying spears patrolling the streets from time to time.

This made Yu Jin even more guilty.

He felt the city looked familiar when he first saw it, and now, seeing the armored soldiers, he finally realized that the style here was almost identical to that of the Eastern Kingdom on the border.

Unfortunately, the Eastern Kingdom was shrouded in mist at the border, and even after becoming king, he had no time to explore it.

Based on his battles with the Eastern warriors at the border, he felt that the Eastern people were somewhat stubborn, even extreme, but he wondered what the people here were like.

Yu Jin chose a high spot and began to observe carefully.

He noticed that there seemed to be many people dressed in different clothes going in and out of a courtyard, who appeared to be foreigners.

Are they like me? Are they foreigners who want to get documents?

Yu Jin thought about it more and more and it seemed very possible, so he took advantage of the large number of people and sneaked in as well.

Looking at the worried faces in front of him, Yu Jin was puzzled. He randomly pulled up someone next to him and asked:

"Hey bro, what brings you here?"

The man was startled. Although he was curious about Yu Jin's attire, he was too preoccupied with his own survival to care about others.

"Sigh~ I want to know when my batch of goods will be cleared. They've been stuck with the Kanjō Envoy for so long."

Ember nodded, but he didn't understand.

Then he asked other people, and they all gave similar answers: no one was there to apply for a certificate to stay in Inazuma.

He had a bad feeling.

Just as Yu Jin was about to sneak away, a woman suddenly called out, "Hey! What are you doing here? I've never seen you before!"

Seeing Yu Jin looking around suspiciously, Baihehua couldn't help but wonder. She had seen all the foreigners on the island, but she didn't remember anyone like this. Could he be a newcomer?

“Me?” Yu Jin pointed to himself.

"Yes." Baihehua was certain; she had never seen this foreigner before.

"I want to get a certificate because I want to stay in Inazuma for a while. Is that possible?" Yu Jin scratched his head, looking a little unsure of himself.

"Sure? All you need is four million Mora and a permit to land on the island." Yuri found it somewhat amusing; where did this idiot come from who-knows-where? He doesn't even know these basic details.

"Snatch the young master?!" Yu Jin's voice was distorted with shock. Four million Mora, he would have to sell seven Noble Rapiers!

The key question is, who would carry around so many fancy but useless things for no reason?

“Four million, plus proof of entry to the island,” Baihehua emphasized. Then she said:

"Hey, may I see your island access pass?"

The embers withered instantly, and he stammered, unable to speak.

"What are you waiting for? Take him down!" Seeing Yu Jin's state, Baihehua knew perfectly well that he had been smuggled in.

At Baihehua's command, the foot soldiers of the distant country's supervisor swarmed in and surrounded Yujin.

Seeing that things had escalated, Yu Jin loudly explained, "No way! I'm just delivering a message, I'll go back after I'm done."

Unfortunately, the foot soldiers didn't listen to his explanation, so Yu Jin had no choice but to jump out of the encirclement.

"Hehe, I'll be all prepared next time, Inazuma, I'll definitely come again!"

The distant embers leaped and roared with confidence.

Chapter 35 Familiar Feeling

2023-08-28

"Don't let him get away!"

"Come on!"

A group of souls ran past the invisible Ember. Seeing that everyone had been drawn to him, Ember breathed a sigh of relief.

I never expected that he would be hunted down as soon as he arrived in Inazuma. He truly deserves to be called an A-level commissioner.

"This feeling seems a little familiar." Yu Jin stroked his chin, and then he suddenly realized that this was his daily life in the past.

However, he would have dealt with all those who were chasing him in the past, but not now, because he still wants to play around in Inazuma whenever he wants.

Moreover, those who were chasing him were neither zombies nor madmen.

"Sigh, looks like I'll have to go deliver the letter first." Yu Jin took out the envelope and looked at the address on it.

Destination: Bayun Island, let's go!

To avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and conflicts, Ember decided to take the sea route instead.

On a small beach, Ember began his voyage once again.

On the calm shore, a slight ripple rose. It was the embers of his swim; he was no longer as unrestrained as when he crossed the open sea.

The main reason was because he was afraid of being beaten by Inazuma's Tenryō magistrate.

"kill!"

"Go to hell!"

A roar came from afar, accompanied by a faint smell of blood.

Ember's PTSD flared up again. Seriously? There's still war here?!

He's been fighting and killing for tens of thousands of years, so why can't he find a peaceful place to play?

"Well, at least there are people around. I'll ask for directions." Yu Jin muttered to himself. All he had was the Inazuma map he bought from Mondstadt, and it was of very poor quality.

This kind of map can only take him to Inazuma's iconic locations at most; as for anything beyond that, it depends on the owner's comprehension.

Nashiina is located at the junction of the islands of Hachiunjima and Kannazuka.

In peacetime, this is the only land route connecting the east and west of Inazuma, with a constant stream of people coming and going.

However, in times of war, this place becomes a strategic location that is fiercely contested by military strategists.

Not to mention that the current war is between the resistance forces led by Umijima, the westernmost island of Inazuma, and the shogunate forces led by Narukami, the main island of Inazuma to the east.

Since Thor issued the Eye Hunt order not long ago, a large number of people with the Eye of God have fled to Haiqi Island for refuge.

It was precisely because of this that Umijima had the strength to contend with the shogunate; otherwise, it wouldn't have reached the point of rebellion.

The most serious consequence was the impact of the isolationist policy. Haiqi Island's land is extremely barren, and it normally needs to import large quantities of food.

However, after the lockdown order was issued, grain imports decreased significantly, and grain prices rose sharply. This situation has continued for several years.

This Eye Hunting Order was less a result of the rebels' rebellion and more a catalyst for the outbreak of conflict between Umijima and Narukamima since the establishment of the national seclusion order.

When Yu Jin swam to Nashii Beach, the war had already reached a fever pitch, with the shogunate soldiers in purple armor and the rebel soldiers in red armor fighting each other to the death.

The battlefield was filled with the deafening sounds of battle, and blood flowed continuously on the beach. As one person fell, another would take their place.

Every now and then, various colored elemental lights would explode, dazzling in their brilliance while taking the lives of a large number of soldiers.

Yu Jin felt an endless stream of souls entering his body, and he was so angry that his nose twisted out of shape.

Just now, there were only a few dozen souls in his body, all of them Hilichurls, but now the number has suddenly increased to several hundred.

Moreover, they are different from Hilichurls, who have no attachments and only need to be given a complete life within their bodies.

But these soldiers are different! Ember has to clean up their mess! The dead create darkness, and the sun god's duty is to dispel it.

Although he didn't mind, who would be happy to suddenly have more work?

"Fight! Fight my ass!" In his frustration, Yu Jin cursed.

He looked around and saw that in the center of the battlefield, a tall and plump woman wearing a tengu mask was fighting a slightly petite man with animal ears and a beast tail.

Both of them possess the Eye of God, and judging from the commotion they caused, they are probably the strongest on this battlefield.

Although it was a close-quarters battle, both of them were skilled archers, and arrows flew out from time to time as they moved around.

Unfortunately, the damage inflicted on both sides was limited. Instead, the soldiers behind them suffered the most, with unlucky soldiers being hit by the arrows they dodged, either seriously wounded or losing their lives.

That's how war is; no one knows if they'll be the next to die. It's full of uncertainty.

As Yu Jin watched them exchange arrows, an enormous bow suddenly appeared in his hand.

The giant bow is nearly three meters long, and its entire body is rusted black. The bow seems to be made of countless steel bars twisted together. Its bowstring is as thick as a thumb and has a special luster that only metal can have.

Is this really a weapon meant for human use?

Golem Greatbow – A black stone bow crafted using technology from an ancient civilization; the weapon used by the golem guardians.

This was never intended for human use!

Yu Jin took out an arrow made of steel, more than two meters long, and nocked it on the bowstring.

Golem Arrow – A black stone arrow made using technology from an ancient civilization, capable of whipping up wind to fly towards its target.

"Shhhh!" As soon as the golem's arrow touched the bowstring, a huge gale gathered from the tip of the arrow, and the solidified, white vortex of the hurricane emitted a restless shhh sound.

It couldn't wait to pierce through the enemy's body.

Bloodstained sand whipped up by the gale hit everyone's faces, but even on the battlefield, they calmed down.

They suddenly discovered that a strange man dressed in full iron armor had appeared at the edge of the battlefield.

The strange man spread his arms wide, and his giant bow, which he was leaning against, seemed impossible to draw, but it was drawn.

Everyone who saw where the gale was gathering felt a chill run down their spines; they felt as if they were being watched by something extremely dangerous.

"Scatter!!!" Kujo Sara and Goro stopped their attack at the same time and shouted loudly to the soldiers behind them.

"Whoosh—" A sharp, ear-piercing whistling sound echoed throughout the entire battlefield!

"Boom!" A powerful gust of wind, carrying immense force, erupted forth! Many people were directly thrown to the ground by this gust!

In just a moment, a trench several meters wide was dug across the entire battlefield. Before anyone could even marvel, another deafening explosion rang out.

"Bang!!!" On the distant sea, the power carried by the arrow was released in an extremely violent way.
