Childe and Balladeer were taken away, and Yu Jin didn't know what Ningguang would do to them. However, judging by the looks everyone gave Childe and Balladeer, even if they didn't die, their situation wouldn't be easy.
Of course, how to restrain these two Harbingers also tested Liyue's defensive capabilities.
Anyway, none of this concerned Yu Jin anymore, as long as the two of them didn't provoke Yu Jin again.
Looking down at Azhdaha, who was still sleeping below, Yu Jin's first thought was: so big.
Why are the Dragons here like they've eaten hormones, each one ridiculously huge?
A cyan figure suddenly came to Yu Jin's mind. Dvalin, the Wind Dragon who was confused about his own identity. His size was much more normal, at least very similar to most Dragons Yu Jin had seen before.
"You all wait for me a moment, I'm going to find someone again... no, find a Dragon to come over!" Yu Jin slapped his head, and without waiting for anyone else to say anything, he vanished from above the Jade Chamber.
"Is Yu Jin always like this?" Osial complained when he saw Yu Jin leave so abruptly.
"Senior has always been like this," Lumine agreed when she heard Osial's complaint.
"What's this? Sometimes Yu Jin will even suddenly pop out of a corner and scare people!" Paimon also shook his head, adding a few more sentences.
Zhongli, listening nearby, shook his head with a helpless smile. Such a Yu Jin made it difficult for Zhongli to regard him as a senior... "Swish--"
The fallen leaves accumulated in the dense forest rose into the air out of nowhere. At a speed invisible to ordinary people, Yu Jin was advancing rapidly, and the towering pagoda, carrying wind and clouds across the Sky, was getting closer and closer to him.
Familiar cliffs, familiar wind walls, and the familiar ruins of the pagoda.
While running, Yu Jin took a big leap and flew into the eye of the storm within the pagoda.
"Dvalin, what are you doing?" Yu Jin asked, greatly surprised, as he looked at Dvalin in front of him.
Only to see Dvalin standing on two feet on the storm platform. In front of him was a wall made of huge stones.
The wall was so big that Dvalin, standing, could lean against it. In his raised forelimbs, Dvalin held a huge stone brick in one hand and a thick book in the other.
He looked like he was comparing something.
"I'm building a house," Dvalin said matter-of-factly, after laying down the stone brick that could flatten a tavern's stage and closing the book in his hand.
"Build... build a house?" Yu Jin circled the huge wall. And it had to be said, Dvalin was doing a pretty decent job, he had even laid the foundation.
"You, a Dragon, are building a house?" Yu Jin asked in surprise, looking at Dvalin standing on two feet.
"Why not? Not only will I build a house, I'll also make furniture!" Dvalin flipped through the giant book in his hand, which could serve as a brick, showing Yu Jin various huge and unique strange pieces of furniture.
It was probably Lanssangx who gave them to Dvalin.
"Stop with all this nonsense! Come with me, I found your kin..." Yu Jin was very excited at first, but by the end of his sentence, his tone suddenly became a little weak.
Because he compared Dvalin's size with Azhdaha's size and felt the difference was a tiny bit huge.
But in essence, Dvalin and Azhdaha were indeed the same kind of creature—at least certainly closer than Lanssangx.
"What do you mean 'nonsense'? These are very useful, alright! If you humans have the guts, don't use furniture!" Dvalin argued a few sentences, quite unconvinced.
"I don't use furniture," Yu Jin nodded seriously in response. If Dvalin could go to his house and look, he would know what it meant to have bare walls.
Of course, the one in Mondstadt, which had been exquisitely renovated by others, didn't count.
"..."
"Let's talk about my kin instead." Dvalin fell silent for a moment. Out of respect for Yu Jin being Lanssangx's boss, Dvalin wouldn't argue with him.
"No problem, he's in Liyue. You fly towards Liyue, and you'll definitely see him!" Yu Jin nodded. Wasn't Dvalin looking for his kin? Now there was a brand new, giant earth Dragon!
"Is that so?" Dvalin put away his big book and returned to his four-legged stance.
"Let's go! Dvalin!!!" Yu Jin somehow jumped onto Dvalin's head. With a grand wave of his hand, he pointed towards the eye of the storm.
"Hoo..." Dvalin took a deep breath. Speaking of which, it seemed only Barbatos had ridden him before, and now there was one more.
"Hold on tight, I fly very fast!"
However, Dvalin didn't dislike it.
With a Dragon's roar, Dvalin's wings behind him flapped. Countless streams of wind lifted his body, turning Dvalin into a current of wind in the Sky.
"Hoo—"
The sound of violent wind raged beside Yu Jin's ears. Standing against the wind on Dvalin's head, Yu Jin once again played the role of the nameless king.
The previous Vishap was simply not good enough; how could something that couldn't even fly be considered a storm chicken?
Storm chicken was Yu Jin's "elegant term" for the nameless king's mount, because in the Age of Fire Fading, even the bodies of Dragons had shrunk.
They looked like large, plucked, malnourished chickens, and because of the resemblance, Yu Jin called them that.
"Storm chicken... oh, no, it's Dvalin, charge!" Yu Jin shouted from Dvalin's head.
"I'm already going as fast as possible, and, look, am I flying in the wrong place? Liyue doesn't look like this."
Dvalin complained weakly about Yu Jin's behavior. He looked down at the lush green forest below, then got lost.
Dvalin's mind was blank now, because none of the places in his memory matched the scenery below.
Could it be that his strength had advanced by leaps and bounds, and he had flown to Fontaine or Natlan in such a short time?
"This is Liyue, just a few minor things happened. Look, we're almost there!"
As soon as Yu Jin finished speaking, a large mountain appeared on the uneven ground below. Beside the mountain range, there was also a five-headed giant serpent, and an island floating next to the giant serpent.
No, that wasn't a mountain range. Dvalin looked intently and realized that the "mountain range" in the distance was actually rising and falling.
This was no mountain; it was clearly a sleeping giant beast!
The surrounding wind stirred. The Jade Chamber was high in the Sky, very sensitive to changes in wind direction, so everyone knew the wind was picking up.
"Dvalin, why is he here?! Could it be that the Dragon Yu Jin was looking for was Dvalin!" Paimon squinted his small eyes.
Although he couldn't see the person approaching in the wind, that level of wind could probably only be stirred up by Dvalin.
What? You mean Venti? Paimon estimated that if the bard's boasts could deflate, then it would be close enough.
"Dvalin..." A hint of understanding flashed in Zhongli's eyes.
"Who is it?" Osial asked, another one he didn't know. Judging by the aura, he also had the qualifications to participate in the Archon War.
Of course, merely having the qualifications, Osial felt that the Dragon in the wind couldn't even defeat him.
"The Anemo God's good friend, and his familiar," Zhongli explained.
"Then why is Yu Jin riding him?"
"..."
Zhongli looked up at Osial. He remembered Osial wasn't like this before? How did he change so much after being released?
Was Osial's mind damaged from being imprisoned, or was his own mind eroded?
"That's because Dvalin and I are also good friends!" Yu Jin's voice came from above, and then he leaped down from Dvalin's head, landing on the floor.
And Dvalin, flapping his wings, hovered at the same height as the Jade Chamber.
"Hey! Are you stunned? That's your kin." Seeing Dvalin staring at Azhdaha dumbfounded, Yu Jin poked him with the inverted spear.
"My... kin?"
Dvalin looked at the "mountain" in front of him. It was a sleeping giant Dragon; just the Dragon horns on its head were larger than his entire body.
