King Ember's Journey to Tevat

Chapter 37
"You?" Jiujin looked at the not-so-tall Ember, then laughed and said, "Welcome! Welcome!"

Now there is a lack of people everywhere in Feimu Village, and most of the people who come to flee are women and children. Although they can work, they are not as good as men.

It was almost evening when the embers came, and now after chatting for a while, the fire clouds have spread to the horizon, and everywhere you look is orange-red.

Coupled with the golden surroundings of Feimu Village, it looks like a paradise.

But Ember knew that under the golden color of Feimu Village was barrenness.

The power of Wuxiang's sword is too powerful. Even after hundreds of years, the power of thunder element contained in it has penetrated into the land of Bayun Island along with the veins of the earth.

Moreover, when Orobus the Orobus died, endless blood of the demon god was scattered all over Yaruo Island.

The combination of the two has created a special scene of withered and yellow around Feimu Village today.

Ember followed Jiujin out of the room, and the people working outside came back one after another.

Children running around, women carrying farm tools, and men carrying ore, everything is so noisy and harmonious.

Yan Yan glanced at it, it was a sight he had never seen before.And this is what the somewhat bald Washujin has done.

Dinner was prepared very early. As a small village, and in such a special period, everyone likes to get together to eat.

Let's chat together to relieve our negative emotions, and at the same time, we can temporarily forget about the war.

Feimu Village lacks everything except crystallized bone marrow.Wood is very precious and is mostly used to build the framework of sheds. Even for cooking, dry grass is often used as fuel.

So there is no bonfire party, but there are more ways than difficulties.People use Wuxu stamens as bait and catch many fireflies as light sources.

The flying fireflies in the wild have not been cultivated and screened by elemental power, so the danger is naturally much less than those in Lei Ying Warlock's lantern.

But the lavender light makes Ember look a little weird.

At this time, Jiujin had a plate in front of him with some side dishes on it, a steamed bun in his hand, and a bowl of broth next to the plate.

This is a rare meaty food. Usually when there is prey, everyone likes to make soup. On the one hand, Mrs. Dao has the habit of drinking soup, and on the other hand, stewing soup can make everyone want to eat meat.

"Don't you want to eat? Although it is said to be a war, the two sides have just started fighting. We have prepared some food. It doesn't matter if you are one more person."

Jiujin saw Yu Yan sitting under a tree with nothing in his hands, so he thought he was afraid of not having enough food, so he was too embarrassed to eat.

After hearing this, Yi Yan shook his head and said, "You guys, eat, I have something with me."

As he spoke, he took out something randomly from his arms and chewed it, but it was still as tasteless as before.

Jiujin nodded when he saw Ember's appearance. Adventurers would always run around, and it was reasonable to have food on them.

"Hey! What are your plans for tomorrow?" Yi Yan looked at the darkened sky and said.

Jiujin listened and thought for a while, then replied: "Chop some wood in the morning and dig out the crystallized bone marrow in the afternoon."

Ember nodded. He could just go and have a look tomorrow.

……

Ember sat on the tree, watching the stars fill the sky and dim again, and the new sun broke through, announcing the arrival of a new day.

Early in the morning, Jiujin and a group of men gathered at the entrance of the village to prepare for a new day's work.

Yan Yan looked at it, why did it take so many men to go out and chop wood?

"The wood here is so difficult to cut?" Ember asked curiously.

When everyone saw Ember asking questions, although he looked very strange, considering that he was brought by the village chief, a man answered him enthusiastically.

"You don't know, it's very difficult to cut! We are close to the Wuxiang Blade, and either it doesn't grow anything, or the things that do grow are extremely tough."

Then another person added: "There are few trees around us, and it takes a long journey to cut down trees. Now in the war, it is better for a group of men to go out than a group of women."

Ember looked at the slightly crude sentry tower not far away, then looked at the bamboo tubes in the hands of the women, and nodded, it seemed that Jiujin was still well prepared.

"Okay! Let's go!" Yi Yan roared and ran directly in front of everyone.

Although the area around Feitian Village is somewhat barren, there are still lives that can grow despite the environment's headwinds.

For example, the waist-length tree in front of me, Ember cut down with a knife, "Crack!", and it got stuck.

"Tsk!" Ember sighed with emotion, and then increased her strength to cut it off.

"Boom!" The big tree fell to the ground, leaving only a stump with a smooth cross-section.

The people following Yu Yan could not help but widen their eyes when they saw the scene in front of them. You must know that the hardness of trees tempered by the thunder element is comparable to steel!
Ember cut it off so easily, which really surprised them.

But that's it. In Teyvat, which has extraordinary power, although it is not easy to cut through steel, it is not impossible.

For example, Washijin can do it, but it's not as easy as Ember.

But soon they realized that they were wrong, because the embers turned into an afterimage, and the trees in front of them were collapsing rapidly.

And in the open space not far away, logs treated with embers continued to pile up.

Soon, a large pile of logs was neatly placed in front of everyone.

"Is that enough?" Ember poked his head out from behind the pile of wood and asked.

"Enough..., enough, enough!" Jiujin nodded. He didn't expect the ember to be so powerful. With so much wood, if you use it sparingly, it can last for a year.

"That's good!" Ember retracted his head again, and then he saw the logs like hills slowly leaving the ground - Ember lifted them up!

The logs were not bound in any way, but they were not scattered.But at the moment, everyone didn't care about these anymore, because their brains were buzzing from the shock of the embers.

"Return!" Yi Yan shouted!
Then "Mushan" quickly ran towards Feimu Village, and Ember seemed to feel that it was not enough.

So Jiujin and the others saw several such "wooden mountains" piled up outside Feimu Village.

When they returned to Feimu Village, everyone saw only wood piled in the open space of the village. They were not surprised because they were so surprised that they were hoarse in the morning.

"When are you going to dig out the crystallized bone marrow?" Ember asked to Jiujin, who was a little stupefied, a little unfinished.

When Jiu Jin heard what Yu Jin said, he shivered violently, and hurriedly said, "You don't need to help us with this, we will do it ourselves."

"Why?" Yi Yan asked confused, he didn't understand.

"Because crystallized bone marrow is a strategic material, we in Feimu Village secretly dig up some residue. If there are too many, it will be very troublesome." Jiujin explained.

Hachiu Island is rich in crystallized bone marrow, but the large mineral deposits are all controlled by the resistance and the shogunate. Feimu Village can only find some scattered fragments from abandoned mines and open fields to trade with pirates for food.

"And the location of our village is very good, close to Wuxiangjian, the location is remote, the land is barren, and the strategic value is almost zero. Neither the rebels nor the shogunate have any intention of looking for us."

"????"

"Don't look at me like that. Although we have a lot of shortcomings here, it is precisely because of this that Feimu Village can be close to the battlefield and have peace."

Seeing Ember's eyes, Jiujin hastily explained.

Ember understood what Washujin said. Feimu Village was a rotten land, so rotten that neither the resistance nor the shogunate wanted to deal with it.

"So, if you get a lot of crystallized bone marrow, we will be in trouble." Jiujin finally said.

Then Ember looked at the wood all over the floor and said, "I think this wood is pretty good, and its strength is almost as strong as that of steel. There are so many, is it okay?"

Jiujin scratched his head and said: "It's okay, no matter how strong they are, they are not as strong as real steel, and they have a lot of shortcomings."

"What shortcomings?" asked Yi Yan. Anyway, he didn't feel any shortcomings.

"For example, it's difficult to process, electric people, etc." As he spoke, Jiujin touched the wood on the ground, but a small electric arc directly retracted his hand.

"Hi——, what a piece of rotten wood! The electric man still hurts so much."

Ember looked at Jiujin who was covering his hands, was silent for a long time, and asked:

"Does your Feimu Village have any merits?"

"Is my niceness considered an advantage?"
