The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

Even if Ember killed monsters, he still killed far too many! Tens of thousands of monsters, and he still managed to eliminate them all in a single day!

"A dangerous fellow!" The general affairs officer looked tense; this was no longer something he could handle.

"Let me remind you," Catherine said again, noticing the flustered look on the faces of the people from the General Affairs Department.

"The adventurers in Mondstadt speak highly of him, and he only cleared out the monsters without harming anyone."

"Is...is that so?" The general affairs officer lowered his head and pondered, but he quickly relaxed.

Why should he worry so much? Anyway, if the sky falls, someone tall will hold it up. He just needs to report the truth.

Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief, smiled at Catherine, and said, "Miss Catherine, thank you for your help. Goodbye."

"Goodbye!" Catherine said as she watched him run out of the archives.

Chapter 71 Dangerous Person?

2023-08-28

"Really? I understand." The blue-haired woman took the file Wen Yuan handed over, looked at it for a while, and then put it down.

"Lord Yelan, what should we do with this person?" Wen Yuan asked Yelan. Yu Jin's achievements were too astonishing, leaving him somewhat at a loss.

Seeing Wen Yuan's anxious expression, Ye Lan smiled and said, "What else can we do? He's come all the way from afar to visit Liyue, so we have to make him feel at home."

Then she said quietly, "Or do you think we should get rid of him?"

"I understand." Wen Yuan nodded and then left.

"Phew—" Only Ye Lan was left in the small room. She sighed; another troublesome fellow had appeared.

The Fatui were already quite active lately, and now that Ember has come over, her work has become even busier.

"Never mind, let's see him later. He's a truly powerful and terrifying person," Ye Lan exclaimed, looking at the documents on the table.

How come we've never heard of such a terrifying guy before? With his strength, he should have been famous long ago, right?

Yelan's wariness and curiosity towards Yu Jin intensified. If someone like him were to one day become hostile towards Liyue, she feared she alone would be unable to stop him.

"Really? I look forward to you becoming friends with Wang." A cool female voice rang out from the secluded room.

For the first time, outsiders' voices could be heard from Yelan's secret stronghold.

"Who?!" Ye Lan's sleepy eyes widened immediately, and Ruoshui, blue and white, was held in her hand.

At the same time, the Eye of God at her waist began to emit a faint blue light, and the life-giving threads formed from pure water elements began to wander around her.

Yelan was now on full alert. Had someone else broken into her base? And she hadn't found any trace of them?

This has never happened before!

"Hehehe, an interesting reaction." The person in the shadows seemed to have seen something amusing and chuckled a few times.

"You like dark and dangerous beasts? It's been a long time since I've seen someone like that." Qi looked at Ye Lan's wary face and the excitement deep in her eyes, and found a sense of déjà vu.

Her condition was much more serious than Ye Lan's back then, but under Yu Jin's personality correction punch, she rediscovered herself.

Ye Lan heard another sound coming from inside, and she tried her best to pinpoint Qi's location. But she found nothing.

The woman's voice seemed to come from every corner of the stronghold, making it impossible to pinpoint its origin.

"Purpose?" Ye Lan forced herself to relax. Qi's concealment skills were too superb, and she had not yet found a flaw.

However, since the other party did not take action directly but spoke first, it means that she must have made a request.

Qi nodded in satisfaction upon hearing Ye Lan's words; it was indeed convenient to talk to a smart person.

"I have no particular purpose, I'm just warning you not to harbor any ill intentions towards the King." As soon as Qi finished speaking, the documents about the Ember on the table suddenly burst into black flames.

The small room returned to silence once more, with only the ashes on the table and the pensive Yelan telling the story of what was unusual about this place.

……

"Why isn't it ready yet?" Yu Jin glanced at the sky, feeling that it had been a bit long. He finished all the tea on the table but hadn't seen anyone else come into the room.

"Forget it, let's wait a little longer. If it gets really dark, don't blame me for sneaking away." Yu Jin thought for a moment and decided to wait and see.

In his view, Liyue does have a much larger population, so it's normal that they are slower in handling government affairs.

Just as Yu Jin was thinking this, the door to the reception room where he was was opened.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mr. Ember, there's no problem with your identity. Here's your identification. Have a pleasant trip to Liyue." The person in front of him handed Ember a card with an embarrassed expression.

"It's okay, I don't have anything else to do anyway." Yu Jin took the card and dashed away.

By the time he emerged, it was dusk. Yu Jin watched the crowds coming and going on the street, and the crowds were watching him too.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a knight before?" Ember glared back defiantly.

But he quickly lost interest, because the helmet obscured his gaze, so the idea of ​​him glaring at people was just nonsense.

"Let's find a place to go first," Yu Jin thought, looking at the bustling streets. "Set a small goal: own a house in each of the seven kingdoms!"

Feeling the Mora in his pocket, Ember proudly puffed out his chest. With so much Mora, couldn't he buy a house in Liyue?

So Ember wandered around for a while and finally saw a small advertisement for a house for sale on a wall.

Yu Jin glanced at the listing; the seller was in the Tiger Rock District. Tiger Rock District? Yu Jin scratched his head. "I can't find it?"

[My Lord, Liyue is divided into three parts: Jade Capital, Crimson Cloud Slope, and Tiger-Eating Rock. You are currently in Crimson Cloud Slope, a place where Liyue's wealthy and powerful gather.]

The first place you'll reach here is Tiger Rock, a lively gathering place for ordinary people.

As for Jade Capital Terrace, it is the location of the Seven Stars of Liyue, and it houses the most powerful people in Liyue.

The black knives, one by one, filled in the gaps in Ember's mind with information about the basic structure of Liyue, giving him a preliminary understanding of the general layout of Liyue.

Following the directions of the Black Blades, Ember walked towards Tiger Rock. Before long, in a slightly secluded alley, Ember found the location mentioned in the small advertisement.

"Knock knock knock!" A loud knocking sound rang out, and a disheveled man with a gloomy face walked out of the house.

However, he was clearly startled when he saw Yu Jin. "Y-you... what do you want to do! I don't owe you any money!"

"I'm here to buy a house." Yu Jin held up the torn-off advertisement in his hand, pointed to it, and said, "The location in the advertisement should be here, right?"

Upon hearing that Yu Jin was a real estate agent, the man's previously fearful expression vanished, replaced by a beaming smile.

"That's great, that's great." He rubbed his hands together, then said to Ember, "How much are you willing to offer?"

"Six million!" Yu Jin made a six gesture, though he didn't actually know how much the house prices were in Liyue.

He spent around five million on the house in Mondstadt, along with the furniture and other items. Liyue is more prosperous than Mondstadt, so he asked for a higher price.

In fact, he only had six million left.

"This..." The man hesitated. Six million was actually a bit low, but considering his situation and the location of the house, he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! Pay now?"

"Six million!" Yu Jin tossed his leather bag to the man opposite him.

The man took the leather bag, skillfully counted the contents using a special instrument, and then said with satisfaction, "Great!"

Then came a flurry of activity, until the sky was completely dark, and the house in the alley finally came to belong to the embers.

After seeing the man off, Yu Jin touched the empty leather pouch at his waist. He couldn't help but sigh; he couldn't keep Mora.

The Liyue district was brightly lit at night, appearing even more bustling. Perhaps it was because of the cool evening air, or perhaps it was because people were leaving work and coming out to enjoy the view.

In short, the streets of Liyue are more crowded at night.

Yu Jin followed the man to the westernmost part of the Tiger Rock area. One more step forward and across the wooden bridge would lead to Scarlet Cloud Slope.

After a brief greeting to the shop's receptionist, the man sneaked back inside.

Seeing the man's furtive appearance and recalling his previously frightened expression, Yu Jin realized that following him was definitely the right thing to do!

This must be a gathering place for some kind of criminal gang. Looks like it's his turn to make his appearance!

Chapter 72 Gambling Monster

2023-08-28

"Sir, do you have enough money?" Chu Yi looked at Yu Jin with surprise. There are quite a few people who come to the Rock Tea House, and a considerable number of them will disguise themselves, but it is rare to see someone like Yu Jin who hides his whole body in armor.

Is this disguise really effective? Chu Yi was a little doubtful, but none of that mattered to her; she only needed to fulfill her duty as a hostess.

“Of course,” Yu Jin said without batting an eye. In this gray area, there was no need to follow the rules as before.

"Really? Then please come in. But I must warn you, you'll be in big trouble if you don't have enough money." Chu Yi smiled. She had given the warning she needed to; what happened next was none of her business.

Although Chu Yi's words were frightening, Yu Jin didn't listen to a word she said. What a joke! He'd been through dragon's dens and tiger's lair; he wouldn't even consider these kinds of shady casinos a threat.

Entering through a hidden side door, Yu Jin's ears were instantly filled with noise.

Curses, wailing, and maniacal laughter filled the air. As far as the embers could see, all they could see were gamblers gathered around the gambling tables.

Their faces were flushed, their breathing rapid, and their eyes were fixed on the dice and cards on the table.

When the results were revealed, their emotions seemed to be amplified, and their shouts of joy or sorrow merged into a larger wave of noise, stimulating the hearts of every gambler.

Ember pretended to pick his ear; it was a bit noisy. But he had to admit that the design here was indeed ingenious.

Whether it's the color of the lighting, the color of the carpet, or the overall setup of the gambling den, everything subtly stirs up the desires in everyone's heart.

He quickly bypassed the smaller gambling tables and arrived at a particularly luxurious table, but one that was not occupied by many people.

It's a gambling table run by the bookmaker, and very few people are willing to gamble against them. Even though the odds there are several times higher than at regular tables, everyone knows that Mora, who wins against the bookmaker, usually doesn't end well.

"Oh? Is this guest going to try out our newest game at the Rock Tea House?" A scantily clad croupier asked Yu Jin with a seductive smile.

Yu Jin shook his head and said, "Do whatever is simple and makes the most money."

The dealer in front of him was clearly taken aback by Yu Jin's words, but her smile quickly became even more enthusiastic.

"Really? Does the customer have enough chips?" The dealer asked, swaying his hips as he prepared the gambling equipment.

Ember glanced at the leather pouch at his waist, then took out the power crystal of Oser.

I'm sorry, Oser, please lend me your power!

"Is this okay?" The fist-sized azure orb emitted a faint blue light, which overshadowed the flashing lights inside the casino.

Wherever the light swept, everyone seemed to be soaked by cold seawater, instantly sobering them up from their previous madness.

Some people were mesmerized by the pearl and stared wide-eyed. They saw that the surface of the pearl was shimmering with azure light, forming swirling patterns that were etched onto its surface.
