As for what the face under the armor looks like now, I'm afraid no one will ever know.
"Lord Patch, you are joking. I was just trying something." The Fire Keeper still looked elegant and dignified.
Patch waved his hands impatiently and said, "It's useless to try anything. I'm just a retired thief. I can't do anything."
"Why do you always assume that I will help you?" The Supreme Will interrupted at this time.
The Fire Keeper smiled and explained to both Patch and the Supreme Will, "Isn't it in line with your idea to take out the darkness from him?"
"He will be at peace, and he will be weak, so weak that he won't be a threat to you."
"Gods cannot be killed, but there are many things scarier than death."
"I can protect him." The Fire Keeper's skirt began to show signs of melting. She also had the power of fire.
"Deal." The Supreme Will looked at the quiet Fire Keeper and smiled.
Those who are beyond the gods can see this.
But it seems that the only things that are beyond this are corruption, madness and other garbage.
"How is it, Lord Patch?" The Fire Keeper took back her power. While saying something, she made tea for Supreme Will and Patch.
The Supreme Will took a sip. It was something he had never tasted before. It was quite strange.
"In the future, we can go to the starry night to see him. He should like the sun."
"I wonder if he's still that afraid of water?"
"Should we take out the fire as well? The burning pain seems to be no worse than the gnawing of human nature."
……
Patch looked at the chattering fire keeper, took the tea she brewed, put it on the counter, and didn't drink it.
"You're going to die!"
Patch held the teacup tightly and said word by word: "He will kill you!!!"
The Fire Keeper was stunned for a moment, then smiled with relief: "It doesn't matter, I should be able to hold him in my arms now."
Patch closed his eyes, not knowing whether it was out of anger or helplessness. After a long while, he opened his eyes again and said exhaustedly:
"Olivia, can I call you that?"
"Of course, Lord Patch." The Fire Keeper leaned forward and bowed to Patch.
"You said you were afraid of the bite of humanity, so he swallowed up all the darkness."
"You also said that you longed to see the light, so he gave you his eyes."
"In the end, you even began to betray your duties as the Fire Keeper. You said that the fire had bound you for too long, so he took the First Flame away with him."
Seeing the Fire Keeper hesitate to speak, Patch did not stop and continued:
"I don't mean to blame you. I just want to emphasize that he redeemed you after he was sure of your inner thoughts!"
At this point, Patch knocked on the table and shouted, "What about you! Do you know what he wants? Why do you think he is in pain? Don't be wishful, Olivia!"
Patch's roar made the Fire Keeper stand still. Just when he breathed a sigh of relief and thought that the Fire Keeper was going to give up, he heard a cold voice coming from the darkness.
"He gave me my name, he brought me light, and everything I have is tied to him. I have to find him."
"I'm sorry, please get some sleep, Master Patch."
Patch couldn't see anything and found himself in endless darkness.
The Fire Keeper had seen the darkness of the Age without Fire, but that darkness was far worse than what she saw when embers burned to death.
Patch also sensed her stubbornness and couldn't help but yell in the dark, "Mad man! You're even crazier than him!"
Then he took a deep breath and shouted, "Let me out. Without me, you can only sacrifice the Supreme Will next to you to open a hole."
"I knew that Lord Patch was not a simple person. I am sorry for offending you just now, Lord Patch." The light returned to Patch. The Fire Keeper bowed to Patch in front of her, smiled and said sorry.
"Hey~" Patch lay on the counter like a salted fish. He rolled his eyes and said, "We don't know if it will work yet! Don't be too happy too soon."
"As long as there is hope." The Fire Keeper was visibly happy. Ever since Patch agreed to her, she couldn't stop smiling.
"Also, if it really works out, you better behave yourself. I can feel that he is getting better." Patch's dead fish eyes looked into the distance.
"Yeah." Although she didn't know what "better" meant, the Fire Keeper still nodded.
Because Ember had once warned her that if there were any incomprehensible words coming out of Patch's mouth, she should just ignore them.
She engraved every word of Yu Jin in her heart, and this one was no exception.

Chapter 45 You are a dragon, that's fine too
2024-03-14
"A-choo!" Yu Jin had just climbed out of the sea onto Eagle Beach when he sneezed for no apparent reason.
Could it be that Kelai and the others missed him? Yu Jin touched the protruding nose corner of his helmet. It might be that he had caught a cold after soaking in the sea for too long.
But then again, the blessing of the spring spirit is really useful. This blessing played a big role in my ability to ride the wind and waves on the sea.
Wait some time to talk to her and see if there are other fountain elves and get a few more blessings.
By then, I will be able to learn skills like fishing and cooking in no time. It’s exciting to think about it.
Ember is treating the fountain spirit as a wishing machine.
But Yu Jin quickly stopped his wild thoughts. The most important thing now was to complete the commission, which had already been delayed for more than ten days.
"I wonder if the Fatui are quieter over there." Ember muttered as he ran.
As the villain in his own mind, Yu Jin feels that he should pay more attention to the Fatui.
Yu Jin had walked the road from Eagle Beach to Mondstadt several times and was quite familiar with it.
The scenery along the way was no different, it all looked familiar to Yu Jin.
But soon, Yu Jin sensed something and suddenly rushed into a bush.
Not long after he hid in the bushes, the wind that had been calm suddenly rose up on the ground, and a long-lost gust of wind began to blow.
The wind was howling and sand and stones were flying.
Yu Jin held tightly onto the trunk of the bush in his hands, but it was not him who was about to be blown away, but the bush he was in.
If it weren't for the embers holding the main trunks of the shrubs tightly, I'm afraid these low trees would have been blown into the sky.
Yu Jin thought about it and felt that if he did nothing, when the strong wind blew, everything would fly up, leaving only him lying on the ground.
That scene was embarrassing for him, and for the person who caused the storm.
"Ang—" An angry shout was heard, and the wind blew even stronger. Curious, Yu Jin stuck his head out to take a look.
Dragon! A brand new dragon!
Yi Jin saw a giant dragon dozens of meters in size suspended in mid-air. It was a brand new dragon, different from all the dragons Yi Jin had ever seen.
Its body is not covered with rock-like scales like the ancient dragon, but instead is covered with dense green feathers.
And its power was different from any dragon that Cinder had ever seen. Every time it flapped its giant wings, an endless gale would sweep over.
A storm of this magnitude could never be caused by simply flapping wings, even for a dragon.
"A dragon that controls the power of wind?" Yu Jin looked at the green air currents lingering around the dragon's body. It was the wind element gathering.
But why did it pick on a tree? Yu Jin was very confused. Because he could see that the dragon's strong wind was mainly blowing towards the huge oak tree where the wind started.
Other places were only affected. Unfortunately, even such a strong wind could not blow down the huge oak tree in the windy area. The wind only rolled up some leaves and nothing happened.
Seeing this scene, the dragon became visibly angry, and more wind elemental power began to gather around it.
Just when Yu Jin thought it was going to use some powerful move, the dragon let out a mournful roar, and the wind elemental power that had been gathered for a long time suddenly dissipated, and even the dragon's body almost fell to the ground.
"What is that?" Yu Jin frowned. Just now, he could feel a breath that did not belong to the dragon escaping from its body.
The painful look on its face just now was probably related to this thing.
Unfortunately, the dragon did not give Yujin more time to observe. It let out an unwilling roar and flew away into the distance.
"Tsk, what a destructive power." Yu Jin casually stuck the broken bush trunk into the soil and walked out of the drooping bushes.
Now, only the area around the big oak tree remained intact. As for the other places, even the aftermath of the strong wind was enough to turn them into a mess.
"Hehe, it's none of my business." Yu Jin smiled and ran towards Mondstadt.
If a small area of land had become like that, the embers could still help restore it, but that was a large area, and if the embers wanted to do it, it would take forever.
So Yu Jin decisively ran away.
"Ha! I'm back!" Yu Jin stretched out at the gate of Mondstadt and said with a smile. Then he walked into Mondstadt amid the surprised eyes of others.
As for the others, they were just surprised. Anyway, no one would check his identity directly like Inazuma did.
"Wuhu, get it done!" As soon as Yu Jin entered Mondstadt, he didn't even go back to his own home, but ran directly to Ryouta's residence.
"Bang bang bang!" A slightly noisy knock on the door sounded at the door of Ryota's house. As this was the first A-level commission that Yu Jin had completed, he took it very seriously.
"I'm coming, I'm coming, stop knocking!" Ryota's hurried response came from outside the door.
"It's you, you are the adventurer!" As soon as Liangtai opened the door, he recognized Yu Jin. After all, he was very conspicuous.
"Done!" Yu Jin patted his chest and took out a reply letter.
"Finished?!" Ryota snatched the envelope from Yujin's hand and couldn't wait to open it and take a look.
"This is Uncle Washizu's handwriting!" Ryota muttered excitedly as he carefully took out the small piece of wood from the envelope.
"Hiss! The wood of Himuki Village is so familiar." Ryota pinched the wood pieces, felt the numbness in his hands, and smiled comfortably.
At least now he knew everything was alright in his hometown.
"Oh! By the way, I'll go get Mr. Yu Jin's reward!" Ryota looked at Yu Jin who was staring at him, slapped his head, and immediately ran into the house to get Mora.
"I feel so embarrassed." Yu Jin rubbed his hands and said to Ryota, whose back was left.
Soon, Yu Jin received his reward for the past ten days, a total of 30 Mora!
Hehe, one step closer to four million.
