Who could it be? Most of his friends were people he met at the border. As for why, he could only say that the Dark Souls world was more desperate than the border, and he was not strong enough at that time.
Thinking of the good friends he had failed to save in the past, Yu Jin could only sigh. People in the Dark Souls world always had a sense of fate.
After defeating the Giant King Youm together with him, Onion Knight Jack committed suicide in front of him, laughing.
Anri distanced himself from him after they killed Aldridge the Devourer of Gods together.
In the end, Yu Jin only found a zombie. Thinking that Anri gave him his sword in the end, Yu Jin could only leave silently.
Logically speaking, Yu Jin and her were the closest. After all, he was almost tricked into marrying An Li.
But in the end, the marriage did not take place, but they became partners in battle.
Even Sirius, who once declared his allegiance to him, was like this. After Yu Jin killed the two princes of Lothric, Sirius quietly left him and committed suicide in front of his grandfather's grave.
There are many more examples like this, countless.
Thinking of this, Yu Jin couldn't help but clench his fists. Because of this, he had to become more cheerful, more enthusiastic, and radiate a little more light.
As long as this light is bright enough, the people around Yu Jin will care about him enough. At that time, he only needs to say one sentence, "Live on." Then he can open up a new world without any worries.
As for what would happen to him after opening up a new world? Since he would not die, Yu Jin did not care much.
"King?" Aleto called out to Ember softly.
“Hmm?” Yu Jin raised his head, then laughed and said with the back of his head: “Haha, it’s okay, I was just distracted, go ahead.”
Aleto glanced at the ember, then thought for a moment and said, "Those two people are a man and a woman."
"The man is ordinary. I can't see anything special about him."
"As for the woman, she was dressed a bit like a nun, but she was wearing an eye patch, which was quite special."
"Is that woman dressed in black?" Yu Jin was a little excited.
"Yes, that's true." Aleto recalled the woman's appearance and said. Then she looked at the somewhat excited Yu Jin and asked:
"That lady is very important to the king?"
Yu Jin looked at the black blades beside him who pricked up their ears, and said affirmatively: "That's right, she is my fire keeper. We must have a good relationship, after all, we have been together for so long."
"How does it compare to us?" Wu said with a smile.
"Wu! You are overstepping your authority!" When Aleto heard Wu's inappropriate words, he immediately scolded him.
"Wu was rude, please punish me, Wang!" Wu also realized that he had spoken carelessly just now, so he immediately knelt on one knee and lowered his head to the embers.
Seeing this, Yu Jin felt a toothache again. He quickly said, "Get up, get up. From now on, if I don't express my opinion, then there is no need to be taboo. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" Now all the Black Blades knelt down, and this "Understood" sounded particularly heroic.
"Are you guys here on purpose to irritate me?" Yu Jin was a little jumpy.
"How could that be? The necessary ceremony must still be performed." The black knives stood up and responded with a smile.
"Okay, whatever you want." Yu Jin did not correct him again, and then he whispered, "Wu, do you want to know the answer to that question?"
"I want to!" This time the Black Blades nodded even more in unison than when they knelt on one knee.
"Okay, then I'll be frank with you. Don't be angry." Yu Jin rubbed his hands, then pinched his thumb and index finger.
"She and I definitely have a better relationship than you do, but that's all."
Yu Jin showed the gap between his thumb and index finger to the black knives, and emphasized: "Just a little bit."
Aleto looked at Yujin's thumb and index finger which were about to touch each other, and he couldn't help but worry about Yujin.
The fire keeper girl seems to be much stronger than the current king. If she knew how the king described her relationship with him, would she be furious?
But soon Aleto felt relieved. She had spent more time with the king and must understand his character.
"Hahaha!"
"Really, it fits the description of the king's personality very well."
……
As soon as Yu Jin finished speaking, the Black Blades started laughing. Only Yu Jin could make them laugh so happily.
"Okay, stop laughing. I'm going out to deliver the power of attorney. What are you going to do?" Yu Jin waved his hand and said to the black knives.
There were so many people, and they were so big, that his small house couldn't accommodate them.
"The king does not need to care about us, just do what you want to do." As soon as Aleto finished speaking, Yu Jin saw all the black swords in front of him disappear out of thin air.
He walked around and found that he could not find any trace of the Black Blades. Are they really the best at hiding in the border area?
Such horror! Yu Jin took a deep breath. Then he said, "Aleto?"
"King, I have a code name, One." Aleto knelt on one knee and appeared in front of Yujin.
She knew that Yu Jin was just calling her out of curiosity, so she just appeared, said a few words, and then disappeared again.
"Tsk, it's much stronger." Yu Jin smacked his lips and sighed.
If he wants to find out the location of the black knives now, he may have to use some extraordinary means.
And based on my observations just now, I'm afraid the strength of the Black Blades has improved significantly after he left.
But this is normal, after all, he sacrificed himself. If the strength of the border area does not increase, he will be the one who goes crazy.
Yu Jin just sighed and ran to the Adventurer's Association. Work is important, work is important.
After a familiar conversation, Yu Jin successfully handed over the commission. After putting Mora into the leather bag on his waist, Yu Jin began to think about what to do next.
"Mr. Yu Jin, as I remember, seemed to be very short of money?" Catherine said with a smile as she looked at Yu Jin who was thinking with his head down.
"Um... actually I'm not short of money. I'm just saving money for some unnecessary consumption." Yu Jin scratched his head and said.
He really has no need for money, and he is saving money so hard now just so that he can go to Inazuma openly when the time comes.
Moreover, Yu Jin has a hunch that the cost of Inazuma’s landing on the island is likely to increase!
Yu Jin's premonitions are usually correct, so he has to prepare for a rainy day.
I must talk to General Raiden when I have a chance. What is her purpose in issuing the isolation order? It makes it impossible for a tourist like him to see the famous Inazuma scenic spot.
"Oh? Really? But there's no harm in telling you." Catherine smiled, and then continued: "In recent days, there have been a sudden increase in the number of monsters near Mond."
"If Mr. Ember has time, he can go to the Knights' Logistics Department. There, he can exchange the monsters' drops for rewards."
"Hmm?" Yu Jin's eyes lit up.
Hill people, I'm here to save you!

"I'm sorry, please stay in my body and live well!" In a Hilichurl camp, Yu Jin raised his hands above his head and shouted loudly.
Then he was surrounded and beaten up by the hillbillies.
The sound of armor hitting each other could be heard. The attacks of the hill people were like drizzle in a river, without causing any waves.
Even when the Hilliard thugs chopped at him with axes filled with fire elements, it did not shake Yu Jin's figure at all.
"Okay, you've all slashed more than three times." Yu Jin said silently, and then shouted: "Don't worry, there will be no more pain in the future!"
Then Yu Jin raised his hands higher, inhaled, accumulated strength, and smashed down!
His arm smashed into the ground at an incredible speed.
"Boom!" The sound of the earth cracking was heard, and a huge shock wave spread out in all directions with the embers as the center, tearing everything in its way to pieces!
Holerlu's Earthshaker - a combat technique in which the ground is struck with both arms outstretched, generating shock waves and causing violent shaking.
This move is the fighting skill that Uncle Ge is proud of. When Yu Jin fought with him back then, he actually lifted up the earth's crust of the royal city.
Just as Yujin was sighing, he saw a dark shadow passing through the ruins of the dilapidated hill camp.
Then the monster drops on the ground, such as the thug horns and hillbilly masks, disappeared.
The king cannot bend down - this is what the black swords told him.
Anyway, Yu Jin thought it was outrageous. When they picked Yu Jin up, they didn't seem to care about the king's dignity.
But since the Black Blades were determined to do it, Yu Jin let them do it. It also saved time. Yu Jin didn't think he was better than the Black Blades in this regard.
Closing his eyes, Yu Jin sensed for a moment, then ran to the next camp.
The number of monsters outside Mondstadt is now ridiculously large. In addition to ensuring the safety of the area around Mondstadt, the Knights of Favonius also have to send people to small towns like Clear Spring.
It is precisely because of this that the Knights posted notices in the logistics department, mobilizing all combat-effective people in the city to go out and destroy the monsters.
Ember smelled a conspiracy in these anomalies. He had seen more than one sleep-loving and meat-loving Hilly people appear around Mondstadt.
Ember recognized every creature he had seen, including the Hillocks. In fact, Ember had given them names, but considering his poor naming talent, he did not tell anyone else.
The two groups of hillbillies, the Sleepy and Meaty, would never run out of Dadaupa Valley for no reason. Now that so many of them have run out, Ember can only think of one answer - someone is driving or controlling them.
As if he had thought of something, Yu Jin stretched out his hand and said to the air, "Bring out a forbidden spell scroll for me to see."
As soon as he finished speaking, Heidao knelt on one knee, put a scroll of forbidden spells in Yujin's hand, and disappeared again.
Yujin opened the scroll and carefully looked at the scroll that the people of Teyvat avoided.
According to Lisa, scholars who understood the scrolls eventually fell into madness.
Yu Jin smacked his lips, not as strong as the crazy fire. In fact, there was nothing written on the scroll, just some methods of using elemental power, but the text was infected with taboos and curses.
The scroll was thrown away, and another black shadow flashed by, and the scroll disappeared without a trace.
Yu Jin felt the breath of the abyss lingering on his fingertips. It was very faint, but it was enough for him to come up with something.
"Corrupted compatriots? Or inhuman monsters? I need to take a closer look." Yu Jin looked at the hillil people wandering below and smiled.
……
As the sun sets, on the outskirts of Mondstadt, Yujin and the Black Blades are counting the day's harvest.
