Tevarin accelerated and flew far away. Seeing this, Wendy knew it was too late, so he controlled the wind to blow Kong back to Mondstadt.
……
"You can't do it, this little wind will blow you down?" Ember looked at the people lying on their backs, and complained while helping them up.
He didn't pay much attention to the battle between Ying and the Wind Dragon. He could only say that with Venti there, he didn't have to worry about it.
Yu Jin now thought that it might be Wendy's fault that Ying was blown away, because he just looked and saw that there was only one person who was blown away, and that was the blonde girl he saw.
"Hahaha, it seems that everyone in our association needs to exercise more!" Seleucus also helped to lift up those who fell down.
Among the few who were not affected, Serius was one of them. He walked to the side of the ember, his face a little solemn.
"It seems that the dragon disaster is getting worse. Now the wind dragon can even stir up a storm in the city. It should not be underestimated."
"Indeed, but it should have relied on other powers." Ember nodded, agreeing with Seleucus.
The elemental circulation and earth vein circulation in the city of Teyvat are the most stable places in this area. At the same time, there are many means in the city to stabilize this orderly state.
Feng Molong can forcibly break this order, even with the help of other forces, its strength is extraordinary.
"But isn't this a good opportunity to do something? Defeating a dragon sounds exciting!" Seleucus was unexpectedly excited.
"I can already see that a new era of adventure is about to come!" At the end, Seleucus even danced with joy.
The Adventurer's Guild always did odd jobs and was almost looked down upon. Now I finally have a chance to show off!
Yu Jin glanced at the juniors who were covering their buttocks, then looked at Serius who was raising his hands and shaking his fists, and felt that the president was overestimating his own abilities.
Serius looked at Yu Jin. He saw the doubt in Yu Jin's helmet. He crossed his arms and said confidently, "Don't look at me like this. I conquered three dragons in the past!"
"Besides, don't we still have you in our association?" Seleucus patted the embers as he spoke.
Yu Jin grinned. He liked what he heard. He nodded and said confidently, "Of course, but it's not time for me to take action yet. The predecessors always give the successors some training opportunities."
"Ah? You're not going to make a move?" When Serius heard that Yu Jin was not going to make a move for the time being, he immediately felt guilty. He admitted that he was so confident just now, in large part because Yu Jin was in Mondstadt.
As an adventurer who went to the dark sea without incident, Seleus had great confidence in Ember's strength.
"I'm not planning on taking any action for now. I think the Knights should be able to handle this matter." Yu Jin looked at the still gloomy sky. The remaining power of the Wind Dragon had not yet completely dissipated.
Ember remembered the blond girl who fought the wind dragon just now, and he looked at Serius and asked, "Do you know the girl who fought the wind dragon just now? I'm a bit unfamiliar."
"Why do you think I would know even though you don't know me?" Seleus felt that Yu Jin overestimated him. Yu Jin was the person with the best memory Seleus had ever met.
No matter who it is, as long as Yu Jin has met him once, he will be able to recognize him immediately the next time. It must be said that because of this characteristic, getting along with Yu Jin is naturally better than getting along with others.
"Because you and she both have blonde hair."
"..."
Seleus was too tired to complain about Cinders. He himself was unreliable enough to begin with, and now there was an even more unreliable Cinder. He began to worry about the Mondstadt Adventurers' Guild.
"Okay, I'm still very interested in travelers who can fight dragons." With that, Yu Jin said goodbye to everyone and ran towards Mond Square in the distance.
Because he just saw Amber and the blonde girl. The "protagonist" of this world, Yu Jin felt that he had to follow her.
Ember could feel that the world started to move because of the arrival of that little blond guy.
"Amber, long time no see." Yu Jin first looked at Amber who was jumping in front of him, then looked at Ying who was following behind Amber, and... a magical little guy!
"Eh hey hey? Why am I flying so high!" Paimeng suddenly found that she was flying higher. Originally, she was just floating around Ying's shoulders, but now she was almost flying over Ying's head.
Then she found a pair of iron hands grabbing the halo above her head and lifting her up.
"Wow! Who are you?" Paimon broke free from Yu Jin's hand and shrank behind Ying.
"Haha, sorry, this is the first time I see such a magical creature, I'm so curious." Yu Jin looked at the somewhat frightened Paimon and apologized.
"Ying, and little Paimon, don't worry. Brother Jin is a very nice person and has no ill intentions." Amber saw that Ying was a little wary and immediately explained.
She didn't want any misunderstanding to arise between Ying and Yu Jin.
"Is that so? Then you can't touch me casually! At least... at least... tell me before touching me!" Paimon flew out from behind Ying and nodded at Yujin. She still believed in Amber's words.
"Of course!" Yu Jin scratched his head. It seemed that he really had no memory. He looked at Paimon, and there were two black streaks on his white hair.
One was caused by her quadrilateral hair ornament, and the other was caused by the sunlight spear thrown by Ember.
Originally, he was curious about why Paimon had his aura on him, but he didn't expect that the spear of sunlight flew out and hit Paimon's head.
But this is considered a good ending. If it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to withstand Ember's Sunlight Spear.
"Ember." Yu Jin looked at the blonde girl who was looking at him curiously and stretched out his hand.
"Girl fighting a dragon, what's your name?"
"Ying." Ying stretched out her hand and shook hands with Yujin. She only felt that Yujin's iron hand was extremely rough and it hurt her hand.
"Ying?" Yu Jin looked at Ying. Her eyes were still filled with confusion and vigilance.
Concerned little guy.
Yu Jin understood Ying's current condition with just one look. He looked at Amber, Paimon and Ying and asked:
"Amber, what are your plans?"
"Plan?" Amber thought for a while, and then said: "Let's take Paimeng and Ying to find a place to stay. They are going to meet Captain Qin in two days, so they have to dress up properly."
Amber looked at the stains on Paimon and Ying and thought that they should be washed, as it was not good to be dirty.
Yu Jin smiled. Amber was still so enthusiastic. It seemed that he was a little redundant here. It just so happened that he still had things to prepare.
So Yu Jin waved to everyone and said goodbye: "It seems that Amber has made plans in her mind. I won't bother you anymore. Bye!"
"Bye!"×3
Ying looked at the receding embers and asked Amber curiously, "Amber, what kind of person is he?"
"Yes, yes! I'm curious too!" Paimon also surrounded him.
Amber pondered for a moment, then said with a smile: "Brother Ember? Well..., he is a reliable and lively adult!"
Chapter 104 A world of despair
2023-08-28
As night falls, Mondstadt is still ablaze with lights. Even the dragon plague and darkness cannot stop the enthusiasm of the people of Mondstadt to enjoy fine wine.
However, this scenario obviously does not hold true in a house.
"Erin, why did you go to bed so early today?" Herman couldn't help but ask when he saw his daughter going to bed early.
Normally, she would read those terrifying sword-fighting books until late at night.
Why did you break your usual habit today and go to bed so early?
"Hey, don't worry about it, Dad. I'm just trying some things." Irene smiled and pushed Herman out.
This kind of dreaming about fighting was beyond common sense, so Irene didn't explain it to Herman to avoid trouble.
"Okay! It's better to go to bed early." Herman nodded without pursuing the matter further. It seemed that his daughter had her own secret.
"Click!" After sending Hermann away, Irene turned off the lights and went to bed impatiently.
……
"Hmm..." Irene opened her eyes and everything in front of her was pitch black.
Irene stretched out her hand into the darkness, and then she touched a rough stone.
She seemed to realize something and used both hands to push away the stone covering her.
"This is..." Irene sat up from the coffin, looking at everything in front of her with some horror.
Countless coffins were piled here at random, the pale and dry trees had no green, and the diffuse mist did not have any fresh smell, but instead filled the air with an indescribable stench.
As far as the eye can see, there are gravestones that have been weathered so much that no words can be seen clearly. Together with the dilapidated walls, they form a silent and desolate scene.
"Bang!" Irene moved back unconsciously, and then she heard the crisp sound of iron and stone colliding.
Irene turned around and looked down, only to see a straight sword appear next to her.
Some have wide blades, and behind the hilt is a weighted iron ball. Compared to other straight swords, the special shape makes it look like an enlarged dagger.
The originally iron-white sword blade was now stained with traces of red rust, making it difficult to tell whether it was rust or blood that could not be washed off.
Broadsword - A straight sword with a wide blade, suitable for slashing. The horizontal slash has a wide attack range, which is very advantageous when encountering a large number of enemies. However, on the other hand, it is easy to hit the wall and bounce back in a narrow place.
Combat skills: Ready attack - the normal attack following the ready attack can destroy the balance of the enemy holding the shield from below; the heavy attack can take a step forward and stab upwards, which can be used according to the situation.
This time, Yu Jin didn't do anything fancy. The straight sword he threw to Irene was called a broadsword. It was originally a weapon he picked up at random.
Yu Jin felt that it was easy to use, so he kept using it. He used it to kill zombies, lunatics, fire kings, gods... In short, no matter what it was, this straight sword had killed it.
It also becomes a little different because of this.
Irene picked up the straight sword, and what made her feel magical was that as soon as her hand touched the broadsword, a warm current flowed into her body.
She felt much calmer, and after encouraging herself a few times, Irene walked out of the coffin and began her formal exploration.
She looked at the trees not far away. There were many wrinkles on the pale bark, which looked like human skin.
"Huh, don't be afraid, it's just a tree." Irene took a few deep breaths and her hand holding the broadsword tightened.
"Splash~" After walking out of the coffin, Irene came to a depression where there was a lot of water accumulated.
Irene looked around warily. It was very quiet, so quiet that it frightened her a little.
Soon, the scenery in front of her changed. There was a slightly wider platform, with one or two people in black robes sitting around it.
Irene felt a little happy. What could be happier than seeing her companions in such an environment?
So she quickened her pace and ran over.
"Hey! You guys..."
"Roar……"
The wandering souls sitting on the ground smelled the breath of the soul, and they longed for the soul's instinct to awaken them.
They roared and rushed towards Irene, swinging their broken swords without any rules, and their swaying bodies made people wonder if they would fall directly to the ground.
"Hey..." Irene hadn't changed her mind yet. Facing the wandering souls rushing towards her, her first reaction was to ask them to stop.
Unfortunately, their humanity has been completely lost, leaving only instincts, and the instinct to devour souls is the strongest of all.
