A shadow flashed by, and before Lance Shanks could see anything clearly, he found that the spirit horse whistle in his hand had disappeared.
She looked up and sure enough, Yu Jin was holding the spirit horse whistle and looking carefully.
"Spirit Horse Whistle? You brought Torrett here!" Although he said this, Yu Jin's tone was extremely certain.
He and Torrett had been through life and death together and traveled all over the border area. There was no way he could mistake Torrett's scent.
"The king looks up to me. Melina asked me to bring you here. She misses the king very much." Lance Shanks looked at Yu Jin holding the spirit horse whistle like a child, looking left and right, and couldn't help but twitching his lips.
She now began to worry whether Yu Jin had heard what she said.
But fortunately she was overthinking, Ember was heartless to some extent.I saw him wearing the whistle of the spirit horse on his finger, and said with a little emotion:
"Really? This is indeed in line with her character. When she comes, I will thank her in person." Yu Jin recalled Melina's character and understood it in his heart.
Melina's calm appearance is accompanied by a twisted personality. She can become a complete "wooden" for her duties, saying nothing and doing nothing.
During the entire journey from the Weeping Peninsula to the Giant Snow Mountain, Yu Jin didn't say a word except for Marika's motto, which was quite impressive.
But that's all in the past. Anyway, when Melina saw that Ember could burn the golden tree without a witch, her little mouth opened so wide that Ember wanted to stuff a few eggs into it.
So this mouth can open, so you've been like a mute all the way? This was what Yu Jin thought at the time.
Shaking his head to throw the memories out of his mind, Yu Jin put the finger with the spirit horse whistle on it to the corner of his mouth.
"Swish——" A sharp and loud whistle sounded, and Yu Jin suddenly felt a lifting force emerging under his crotch.
He took advantage of the buoyancy and jumped lightly, and a spirit horse appeared from the space under his crotch.
Although it is a spirit horse, it has a pair of horns on its head. This is Yu Jin's mount - the real ox horse Torret!
"Hehe!" Torrett was so excited to see the embers again that his excited panting could be heard from the horse's mouth.
"Hahaha!" Yu Jin rode on Torret, and the long-lost feeling of freedom came back to him. He wanted to go out for a run.
"King, let me remind you that it's late at night." Lance Shanks saw that Yu Jin and Torret were eager to try, and reminded them.
Torrett's mobility is terrifying. If Embers is added to the mix, the two of them could probably run to some corner of the world in the blink of an eye.
At that time, she would have no choice but to stay in Mond and wait for Ember to come back to find her, which was something Lance Shanks didn't want to see.
"I know! I won't run, but jumping is okay!" Yu Jin loosened his grip on the reins. Was his thought really that obvious?
Lance Shanks stepped back a few steps and signaled Yu Jin to start. Anyway, it was dark now, and the lights in the city were not that bright, so it would not be a big deal to jump.
"Get ready!" Yu Jin lowered his center of gravity. Torret under him also noticed Yu Jin's changes and began to accumulate strength with his hind legs.
"Swish!" Torrett finished accumulating power and jumped into the sky with a high leap. This kind of jump could only be used in places with rising air currents, but now there is no limit.
In Yu Jin's eyes, Mondstadt became smaller and smaller, but he was not satisfied.
"Torret, show us your best moves!"
"Hiss—" Torret let out a long howl, and then several light blue phantoms appeared under his feet. Although they were phantoms, Torret could step on them directly.
It leaped again with all its might, and jumped even higher. This was Torrett's special skill - double jump!
Yujin looked down again, and now Mond was just a dot of light.
Chapter 146 High Priest

"Hey! Lawrence, why do I feel like there is someone on the moon?" Swann, who was about to get off work, looked at the bright moon in the sky.
Was there a dark shadow just passing by?
"Ah~" Lawrence beside him stretched and casually glanced at the moon in the sky.
There was no human figure, but the moon was still so bright and flawless.
"Swan, that's great. You also know about the moon eclipsing? That's a legend in Liyue!" Lawrence cleaned his armor and prepared to leave Mondstadt's gate after get off work.
"What legend? I don't know. Maybe I was just dazzled." Swan shook his head. How could there be a human figure in the moonlight in the sky? Maybe he really saw it wrongly.
"Don't know? Then let me tell you, I know a lot..." Lawrence said, then he put his arm around Swann's shoulder and walked towards Mond City.
Thanks to Lawrence's father, a businessman from Fontaine, he gained a wide horizon and at the same time, he also got the name "Lawrence", which people in Mond despise.
As for why? Of course, it was because his father knew nothing and lost a bet after getting drunk.
Then he was given the elegant name "Lawrence", and now strangers in Mond glared at him when they heard his name, which made him feel very tired.
But his life is generally good. Although he has the name "Lawrence", he is not a real member of the Lawrence family, so he still has many close friends.
For example, Swann in front of him was like this. Whether it was a coincidence or some other reason, every time he was assigned the task of guarding the gate, he could always be with Swann, and after a few times, they became familiar with each other.
"Let's go! Let's have a post-get off work drink!" Lawrence pulled Swann and finally got off work. He felt uncomfortable if he didn't drink Mond's wine for a day.
"Hey, hey, don't walk so fast!" Swan staggered as Lawrence pulled him. His friend was not very enthusiastic at work, but he was full of energy after get off work.
"Hurry up!"
"coming!"
……
"Tick!" Torrett fell from the sky carrying the embers, making only a slight and crisp sound of horseshoes colliding.
The force of falling from a high altitude seemed to be non-existent under Torret's feet. He landed on the ground as easily and steadily as if he was stepping on cotton.
"It feels familiar." Yu Jin got off Torret's back, touched its mane and said with nostalgia.
"Hmph..." Torrett took a deep breath and rubbed his head against Ember's gauntlet. It now felt the same as Ember.
"Swish~" Yu Jin blew the spirit horse whistle again, and Torret turned into blue light and disappeared before his eyes.
Torret is a spirit horse that will never die and has no real form. It lives in a spirit horse whistle and can come out at any time.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's go to bed!" Yu Jin glanced at Lance Shanks, then pulled her into the house.
It's a pity that ancient dragons don't need to sleep. In the darkness, Yu Jin lay on the bed picking his feet, while Lance Shanks watched Yu Jin from the side.
In the room with the lights turned off, the pair of golden dragon eyes looked just like two light bulbs.
No wonder Vic said Lance Shanks was always a third wheel, it turns out she really was a third wheel!
"Don't you need to sleep?" Yu Jin was the first to break the silence. He got up, turned on the light, and asked Lance Shanks puzzledly.
Does Lance Shanks still recognize the bed?
"King, don't you know that the ancient dragons don't need to sleep?" Lance Shanks spread his hands and explained.
Yu Jin shook his head. He really didn't know this. In the past, he would fight Long Er without saying anything. So why would he bother to learn about these things?
"Let's talk about something else?" Lance Shanks pulled out a chair and sat down.
"What do you want to talk about? Let me make it clear first, I don't know how to chat." Yu Jin sat up and reminded Lance Shanks.
"You said there are people like me here. What kind of person is he?" Lance Shanks was the first to ask about Tevarin's information. This was the serious matter!
"Tevalin? He seems a little different from you." Yu Jin scratched his head. The "dragon" Tevalin seemed to be a little different from the ancient dragon.
"You know that there are elements in this world," said Cinder to Lance Shanks.
Lance Shanks nodded. As soon as she came to this world, she discovered its greatest feature. That is, the air seemed to be filled with energy everywhere. It turned out that this energy was called "element".
"There are seven elements in total. Tevarin is the wind element that has been precipitated among them. Probably, perhaps, he may be the strongest." Ember said at the end, a little uncertain.
Kutri told him about the seven elemental dragon kings, and the apex of the seven elemental creatures is the "dragon".
And Tevarin is the wind dragon. However, its strength is a little bit inferior to Kutli, which makes Yu Jin a little unsure.
"That's the dragon! Forget about all that nonsense, just tell me about that guy's experience and personality!" Lance Shanks's method of identifying his own kind was unexpectedly sloppy.
If it looks like a dragon, then it is a dragon!
This is the secret of Lance Shanks becoming the high priest! There are many guys in the ancient dragon clan who discriminate against flying dragons, but she doesn't.
The so-called flying dragons are the degenerated ancient dragons. Since the day they were born, they do not have the hard dragon scales like the ancient dragons. Therefore, flying dragons have fatal weaknesses and become the targets of dragon hunters.
The belief in dragon feasting only appeared in the border area when flying dragons were born. This belief of gaining dragon power by eating dragon hearts raw would have been impossible in the era when there were only ancient dragons.
The flying dragon's forelimbs have also turned into flesh wings, and they cannot use weapons like ancient dragons. The ancient dragons can use their forelimbs to wield weapons unique to ancient dragons, just like humans.
Back then, the great ancient dragon Gulan Sanx only had one dragon, armed with a spiral spear called Ancient Sanx, and he broke through the mountain-like walls of the royal city of Rodel.
This has only happened once in history.
As for the red dragon thunder, flying dragons don't even need to think about it. Therefore, within the ancient dragon clan, the discrimination against flying dragons can be said to be extremely serious.
However, those who discriminate against others should be aware of being discriminated against by higher beings. As the fourth strongest being of the Ancient Dragon Clan, Lance Shanks discriminates equally against all discriminators who are weaker than her.
Therefore, most of the dragons of the ancient dragon clan were beaten by her. Now that I think about it, this high priest might have been beaten into being?
Lance Shanks wiped the sweat from his forehead when he thought of this. It's impossible? He was elected as the high priest by everyone. How could he think like this?
After becoming the high priestess, many little ones who didn't know how to perform the dragon prayer successfully mastered it under her careful guidance (electric shock), which showed that she was still very suitable for the position of high priestess.
"Don't worry about his origins, just be a dragon! To be a psychiatrist, all you need to know is his past!" Lance Shanks added.
She is very familiar with the three intelligent creatures: humans, beasts, and dragons. As a high priest, in addition to teaching prayer, the mental health of believers is also very important.
"Is that so?" Ember was stunned for a moment, then he thought for a while and said, "It seems that Tevarin had always been a dragon. Later he was attracted to this city and became one of the guardians of this city."
"Then he got into a fight with a guy to protect the city, got poisoned, and fell asleep for a long time. When he woke up, he found that the city had forgotten about him, and he was very angry."
"Then someone instigated him and with the poison taking effect, he was about to attack the city." Yu Jin told him everything he knew.
"How long has he been asleep?" Lance Shanks asked.
"It seems like five hundred years." Yu Jin said, which is roughly this time.
"It seems that he cares about this city very much." Lance Shanks glanced at the silent Mondstadt in the middle of the night, then said with a smile: "We need to let him learn the open-mindedness of the immortals."
"For short-lived creatures like humans, five hundred years is a long time, enough to change many things."
"So, when the immortal species and the short-lived species get along, the short-lived species will always feel that the short-lived species are fickle and ruthless, while the short-lived species will find the immortal species difficult to understand."
"It seems no one has explained this to him. In that case, let me enlighten him!" High Priest Lance Shanks waved his arms and said so.
