"Mr. Ember, please stop laughing at me. What do I need these things for?" Catherine covered her forehead. This is really the case. Except for the consciousness and appearance, everything else has changed.
"Hahaha, you can't say that. Have you thought about what you want to do in the future?" Yu Jin asked Catherine.
Catherine fell silent after hearing this. Her number in Winter Solstice must have been eliminated. As Catherine, she really couldn't seem to find anywhere to go.
“Be an adventurer!” Yu Jin said, looking at her.
"You were born because of adventurers, but none of you are a real adventurer. Don't you think it's a little funny?"
"You can grow faster through adventure. Besides, there is a guy similar to you in the Adventurer's Guild." Yu Jin thought of Joseph. In some ways, he was quite similar to Catherine.
Catherine looked at Yu Jin who was talking eloquently in front of her, nodded, and said with a smile: "I agree. Let's have fun working together in the future, Mr. Yu Jin!"
Yu Jin paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's nice to work with you, Miss Catherine."
"Towards the stars and the abyss!" X2.
"Pa!" Yu Jin and Catherine high-fived each other. It seemed that they had a good understanding of each other.
"What riddle are you talking about?" Alex came over and found that he seemed to not understand what Ember and Catherine were doing.
"Don't ask about what's happening on the ground." Yu Jin felt that Alex didn't know how to read the atmosphere.
"Haha, actually this is our unique way of greeting on the ground." Catherine also discovered the abnormality of this space at this time.
Advanced technology, ubiquitous ruins guards, and a kingdom built underground. All this information points to one place - Kanreya, which was destroyed five hundred years ago.
Catherine didn't know how she got here, nor did she want to know how she got here.
The only thing she was sure of was that Yu Jin brought her here, and then found a kind guy to fix her up. But that was enough, and the rest was not important.
"Really? You people on the ground are really weird." Alex scratched his head. He had also visited the ground several times to investigate and communicate. Why hadn't he heard of such a strange way of greeting on the ground?
And what is an adventurer? What is there to yearn for in the abyss? Alex just couldn't understand it.
But considering that both Ember and Catherine did the same, Alex didn't care about the details.
He followed suit and said to Catherine and Ember, "Towards the stars and the abyss."
Yu Jin and Catherine were obviously stunned for a moment. They did not expect that the Kanriya people five hundred years ago would shout out this slogan that became widely known in later generations.
Not bad though, isn’t it?
The three of them looked at each other, smiled and shouted:
"Toward the stars and the abyss!"
Chapter 98 Adventurer, Catherine
2023-08-28
"Mr. Yu Jin, do you need me to carry you?" After crossing the stone gate, Yu Jin and Catherine were walking on a forest path in Mond.
Although Catherine had been transformed in Ember's body for nearly a year, in reality only a few days had passed. Now Ember was going to take Catherine back to Mondstadt.
But this time, Yu Jin did not jump and jump like before. Instead, he broke a wooden stick and used it as a crutch, and walked slowly on the road like an old man.
"No, I want to see the scenery, see the scenery..." Yu Jin stubbornly rejected Catherine's kindness and pretended to be attracted by the scenery.
When Catherine saw Yujin's appearance, she shook her head helplessly, then she slowed down her pace and walked beside Yujin.
As for why the embers are so illusory, it is only because it is really fatal to create something illusory out of thin air.
When he created Tina's body, he used a branch, and now he created Catherine out of thin air.
Besides, there were so many delicate parts in Catherine's body, and he had to squeeze them one by one, which almost crushed him to death.
It would be much simpler to simply create flesh and blood life. Yu Jin only needs to have a concept of "what life should be like" in his mind, and then the flesh and blood will automatically evolve into the shape in his mind.
But it was not the same for Catherine, because Yu Jin had no idea what a machine with life would look like. So he could only follow the drawings Alex gave him to mold Catherine bit by bit.
"Mr. Yu Jin, you said that there is someone like me in the Mondstadt Adventurer's Guild. What is he like?" Catherine remembered what Yu Jin had said to him before, and couldn't help but be curious about what the guy who was very similar to him looked like.
"Hehe." Yu Jin smiled mysteriously, and then said to Catherine: "You will know when we return to Mondstadt!"
Yu Jin patted his chest armor. He was still confident in Joseph's condition. As his creator, Yu Jin had said that he hoped he could look at the good side more. Could he still turn evil?
It's useless to turn evil, because if you turn evil you will have to suffer from Yu Jin's personality correction punch.
“By the way, can you use that shared network? Tell you in Liyue. She was the one who asked me to save you.” Yu Jin thought of something and said to Catherine.
Catherine smiled and nodded. "She told me that a long time ago. She also said that if I really became an adventurer, she would let me come to Liyue for adventures!"
Yu Jin nodded. Okay, now there are no more mistakes, so he can just stride towards Mond without looking back.
But why is the wind in Mond so strong recently? A gust of wind blew past, bending the big trees beside the road.
Catherine stretched out her hand, and a round light blue shield was placed around Catherine and the embers, isolating the flying sand and rocks caused by the strong wind.
"It's very useful, Mr. Embers." The light shield moved with Catherine, which surprised Catherine.
"As long as it works." Yu Jin didn't say much. This kind of use was a bit of a waste of resources, but as long as Catherine was happy, that was fine.
The howling wind stopped after a while. Catherine looked at the clear sky again and shouted in surprise: "Mond..., is there a dragon?"
"Hmm?" After hearing Catherine's words, Yu Jin also looked up and found that in the distant sky, a blue and azure wind dragon was soaring in the sky.
Why is it a dragon again? Yu Jin wondered if he was about to transform into a dragon. Otherwise, why did he see dragons every day?
There are obviously very few Teyvatron dragons!
"It's just a dragon, what's the big deal?" Yu Jin yawned. He had seen many dragons. It was just a small problem, just a small problem.
"Really?" Catherine was skeptical and kept her doubts deep in her heart.
Yu Jin looked around at the deserted area, threw away the stick in his hand, and said, "We have rested well, let's go back to Mondstadt as soon as possible!"
After saying that, Yu Jin took the lead and turned into a black shadow, running towards Mond.
Seeing this, Catherine also bent down and her furnace began to work.
"Sizzle--" Large streams of white smoke began to spew out of the exhaust vents behind Catherine. Then, with a "boom!", Catherine flew out of the air, and the huge air wave blew the surrounding trees again.
"Mr. Ember! How come it's so fast-"
"Go ask Alex!"
……
Catherine had now adapted to her own crazy speed. She no longer had to stop after running for a while as she did before.
Now she can chat with the embers that are also running beside her.
"We're almost there, let's stop for a while." Yu Jin saw the walls of Mond not far away and stopped.
"Boom!" Catherine's movement was louder than the embers. She stretched out her hands, and huge flames burst out from the thrusters in her palms, slowing her down rapidly.
"Wow... what a strange experience." Catherine patted her chest, still a little surprised.
"You'll get used to it." Yu Jin looked at Mond in the distance, feeling a little surprised.
Why are there so few people again? Didn't he clear out the monsters around Mond before he left? Could it be that these monsters are so fertile?
A series of questions emerged in Yu Jin's mind, but he quickly shook his head and put them behind him.
Anyway, let’s go to the city first.
After greeting Swann and Lawrence, who had been guarding the gate for thousands of years, Yu Jin and Catherine walked into Mondstadt.
The first step when entering the city is to find Catherine!
Yu Jin took Catherine and ran to the Adventurer's Guild. He thought it would be very interesting for the two Catherines to meet each other.
“Towards the stars…???” Mond Catherine saw another version of herself following behind Yu Jin and didn’t even finish the classic line.
It seems that Catherine only told her news to Liyue Catherine.
"Hey, Miss Catherine, how are you? Are you happy to see another you?" Yu Jin pulled Catherine behind him to the front of Mond Catherine, so that the two who were originally unable to meet could have a good look at each other.
"You...how did you get here?" Mond Catherine asked, looking at herself in front of her.
Catherine and others would not leave their posts. The person in front of them must have suffered some major change.
"My number is ksl015. Should I cancel it now?" Catherine asked Mond's own self.
Several days have passed since she received the order, and if nothing unexpected happens, her number should have been cancelled.
Mond Catherine nodded. She had just checked and found that there was indeed no Catherine with this number.
"Haha, yeah. So I have no responsibilities now, and I'm considered to have left Solstice." Catherine smiled slightly, not caring about the news that she had been deregistered by Solstice.
"Then you guys..." Mond Catherine looked at her other self and the embers and had some guesses in her mind.
"Of course, I will register as an adventurer! Then I will post my adventure stories on the sharing network so that everyone can see them." Catherine said her plan with a smile.
Mond Catherine was silent for a while, then bowed solemnly to the embers and said:
"Thank you!"
"You're welcome. If you ever want to quit, you can tell me." Yu Jin waved his hand and asked, "How about it? When can we test it?"
Mond Catherine sighed upon hearing this, and then said, "No need to test for now. Just remember my name first, and we can test together after the dragon disaster is over."
"Dragon disaster? What happened?" Yu Jin thought of the dragon he saw, and it seemed that it was most likely related to it.
"Recently, the Wind Dragon has created a storm around Mondstadt. No one can leave the city, and the number of commissions has dropped drastically."
Mondstadt Catherine explained that the dragon disaster had caused great suffering to the entire Mondstadt. The impact this time was even greater than the previous monster wave.
"Really?" Ember nodded and rubbed his palms together. His sunlight gun was already thirsty.
"Ah~, the Wind Dragon was originally one of the four wind guardians. I never thought that it would become an enemy of Mondstadt one day." Mondstadt Catherine shook her head and sighed.
Yu Jin stopped rubbing his hands, as if there was something hidden?
"So what are you going to do next?" Mond Catherine looked at the embers and her other self and asked.
"What should we do?" Yu Jin touched his chin, then pulled Catherine away and shouted:
"Of course, to meet future colleagues!"
