Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Dixia sat on the camel's back, and Shao Yun rode Boadicea. The two walked along the way for two days and arrived at their destination, Aru Village.

In fact, at the beginning, Shao Yun had no intention of riding Boadicea at all.

However, when he blew the whistle, something magical happened!

I saw Radish and Boadicea appear in front of me at the same time.

What was even more unexpected was that as soon as these two bold girls met, they became hostile and were ready to fight each other for who could take Shao Yun out!

Shao Yun hurriedly tried to persuade them with kind words upon seeing this, and after great effort he finally managed to calm down the fight that was about to break out.

Finally, Shao Yun asked Luobo to go back and ride Boadicea to Aru Village. After all, they had agreed to take turns riding, so it was like a handover.

……

The entrance of Aru Village.

Dixia jumped off the camel, stretched her stiff limbs, then turned to face Shao Yun and said sincerely: "Thank you for accompanying me to Aru Village! If you hadn't accompanied me on the road, I would have been bored to death."

Shao Yun smiled and waved his hand, responding: "Don't be so formal. By the way, do you know where Candice is now?"

Dixia tilted her head and thought for a moment. She first looked at Aru Village, then looked up at the scorching sun in the sky.

"At this time, she is most likely still in the village. You might as well look around the village, you might be able to find her soon."

At this point, Dixia paused and added: "Oh, by the way, if you see Candice later, say hello to her for me."

"I have some important matters to attend to here. I have to go and bury Rahman properly."

At this point, Dishia took out the clay pot containing Rahman's ashes.

Shao Yun glanced at Rahman's urn, nodded, and said, "I know. I'll tell you."

After that, Dixia hurriedly walked in one direction, while Shao Yun walked into Aru Village.

……

Shao Yun searched around Aru Village and finally met Candice who was patrolling with the Red Sand Staff at the door of the village chief's house.

"Miss Candice!"

Shao Yun's voice instantly attracted Candice's attention.

Upon hearing the voice, Candice's steady pace suddenly stopped.

She quickly turned her head, and her beautiful, strange-colored eyes looked straight in the direction of Shao Yun.

After seeing who it was, Candice showed a warm and friendly smile on her face and responded, "Oh, it's you, Mr. Shao Yun, it's been a long time..."

Before she finished her words, Candice quickened her pace and walked towards Shao Yun, and in the blink of an eye she was in front of Shao Yun.

Standing in front of Shao Yun, Candice did not speak immediately, but looked Shao Yun up and down with her beautiful eyes of different colors.

After a while, a relieved smile gradually appeared on Candice's face, and she asked softly, "The aura of decay in you has disappeared. Are you cured?"

Upon hearing this, Shao Yun straightened his chest, stretched out his hand and patted his extremely solid muscles a few times, and replied with a smile: "Thanks to you, the things you gave me have warded off disaster for me."

After that, Shao Yun took out the broken Ankh from his backpack and handed it to Candice. He said with a guilty look on his face, "But I'm really sorry, Miss Candice, this thing broke accidentally..."

Candice looked at the broken ankh. Although this thing had been given to Shao Yun, she still felt uncomfortable seeing it broken.

After a while, she shook her head gently and said calmly: "It's okay, Mr. Shao Yun. Compared to this Ankh, your health is the most important thing."

Shao Yun carefully put away the broken ankh, and then said to Candice solemnly: "Believe me, this thing has been a great help. In return for your favor, if there is anything you need me to do, as long as it is within my ability, please let me know."

Seeing Shao Yun trying so hard to repay her, Candice couldn't help but feel a little confused.

She blinked her large eyes with heterochromatic pupils, with a faint smile on her lips, and asked curiously, "Mr. Shao Yun, this is just a little toy I gave you to comfort you. Why are you so serious about it?"

"I appreciate your gratitude, but forget about repaying me..."

However, Shao Yun's attitude was very firm, and he responded: "Whether you believe it or not, this thing of yours has helped me a lot."

"Besides, you must not miss this rare opportunity. After all, there are very few situations where I can owe you a favor!"

Seeing that Shao Yun was so persistent, Candice couldn't refuse any more.

So she gently raised her hand and tapped her forehead with her index finger. After a moment's thought, she slowly said, "Since you insist on thanking me for this favor, then okay..."

"Have you heard of a man called 'Kavi' in the House of the Decrees?"

As soon as he heard Kavi's name, Shao Yun searched for some information about Kavi in ​​his chaotic memory.

After thinking for a moment, Shao Yun nodded and responded, "Well, I've heard that he is a very outstanding architectural designer?"

Seeing that Shao Yun was familiar with Kavi, Candice did not explain further, but went straight to the point and told him what she needed Shao Yun's help with.

"You should know from your visit to Aru Village a while ago that Aru Village needs a library to store books."

When Shao Yun heard this, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind.

Could it be that Candice wanted to serve as a laborer to help build this library? Actually, it was no wonder that he had such an idea.

After all, it is an objective fact that Aru Village does lack young and middle-aged labor force at present.

So, Shao Yun stretched out his right hand, gestured in front of his eyes randomly and without pattern, and asked: "So... you want me to be a construction worker and help you build a library?"

Hearing Shao Yun's ridiculous idea, Candice laughed softly.

She shook her head, denying the guess Shao Yun had just made, and replied: "What are you thinking? How could it be like that!"

Then, Candice further explained her true intentions.

"I was wondering if you could help me contact Mr. Kavi and ask him to come to Aru Village? I want to discuss with him about building a library in Aru Village. After all, professional matters should be planned by professionals."

When Shao Yun heard that he was only asked to invite Kavi to Aru Village, it was so simple, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. He asked with a suspicious look on his face: "Just like that? So simple? Are you kidding me?"

Candice looked at Shao Yun's unbelievable expression and asked in confusion, "Is this so simple? I heard that Mr. Kavi is the light of the Miaolun School of the Church Order. It should be difficult for ordinary people to see him."

When Shao Yun heard the words "rarely seen", he chuckled disapprovingly.

Then he patted his chest vigorously and assured Candice confidently: "For me, this is not a big deal, but you are wasting this precious favor."

Although Shao Yun spoke with great confidence, Candice was now worried because she couldn't think of any other areas where she needed Shao Yun's help.

After Candice tilted her head and thought for a moment, she suddenly had an idea and started a joke with Shao Yun.

"Are you going to ask you to provide the funds to build the library? No kidding, it would be a great help if you could help me contact Mr. Kavi."

However, as the saying goes, the speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Candice's casual joke was taken seriously by Shao Yun.

Shao Yun agreed without even thinking about it.

"Okay! I will pay for the construction of the library. It's settled."

Shao Yun's quick and decisive response caught Candice off guard.

She had just said it casually as a joke, but she didn't expect Shao Yun to take it seriously.

So Candice waved her hands and tried to dissuade him, "I was just joking, don't take it seriously."

But Shao Yun really took this matter to heart, and replied with a firm tone: "Candice, the thing you gave me saved my life!"

"Let alone funding to help build a library for Aru Village, even if you asked me to spend money to renovate the entire Aru Village, I would definitely agree without hesitation."

Shao Yun has more than 50 billion Mora in his pocket. How much would it cost for him to build a library?

Seeing Shao Yun being so persistent, Candice had no choice but to nod respectfully and accept Shao Yun's kindness.

"Thank you so much for your contribution to Aru Village."

As soon as the words came out, Candice extended an enthusiastic invitation.

"By the way, look at the time now, I guess you haven't had lunch yet? Otherwise, how about I cook and treat you to a good meal?"

Shao Yun took off his hat and thanked him, "I'd rather obey than be respectful..."

……

It was still the extremely familiar village chief's house. Candice and Shao Yun sat face to face at the slightly old but very tidy dining table.

At this time, bursts of tempting aroma came from the kitchen, and the food cooked by Candice herself was stewing in the pot.

Since they didn't need to stay by the stove all the time, the two of them sat at the dining table and chatted to kill time.

At the beginning, the topics they talked about were nothing more than trivial matters in daily life, interesting things happening around them, and so on.

However, just inadvertently, Shao Yun seemed to suddenly ask Candice: "By the way, Miss Candice, do you have any information about the Abyss Mage?"

Hearing this question, Candice, who was originally listening to Shao Yun's words with a smile, was slightly stunned and asked back: "Abyss Mage? Why do you suddenly want to know the information about these things?"

Shao Yun thought, it was all for the purpose of finding his brother-in-law "Kong".

Most of the employees in the rain forest have turned into small branches that Ying needs. Now all the abyss mages in the entire rain forest have disappeared, and no one knows where they have hidden.

Now we can only try our luck in this desert, but it is impossible to say such a reason out loud.

So, Shao Yun found a suitable excuse and replied: "Oh, it's like this, I received a commission to defeat a specific Abyss Mage."

Candice nodded to show her understanding.

After all, she had long known that Shao Yun was an adventurer, and accepting commissions was a common thing for him.

But she suddenly remembered that when she was chatting with Shao Yun before, he said in person that he rarely accepted commissions.

As a result, Candice inevitably had some doubts in her heart...

"Don't you dislike taking commissions? Why are you suddenly interested?"

Shao Yun leaned back slightly, raised his right hand nonchalantly, waved it a few times, and explained: "I just simply don't want to accept those boring commissions."

"For example, looking for cats and walking dogs, these tasks are almost the same as what a nanny does!"

After hearing the reason given by Shao Yun, Candice believed it.

Shao Yun's reason convinced Candice. After all, she had also seen adventurers going to the desert for adventure. They all liked excitement and were looking for commissions to walk cats and dogs. It was understandable that they were not attracted by Shao Yun.

Thinking of this, Candice tapped the table thoughtfully and said slowly: "So that's how it is... Well, I'm not quite sure about this. After all, I rarely leave Aru Village on weekdays."

"As for the monsters that often come to attack Aru Village, apart from the weird wolf-shaped monsters, the most common ones are the Hillockmen. As for the Abyss Mage, I have only heard about it from Dishia, but I have never seen one."

Seeing that Candice knew very little about the Abyss Mage, Shao Yun did not show any disappointment, but instead seemed very open-minded.

"Haha, it's okay! I just asked casually, you don't have to take it to heart."

However, Candice suddenly changed the subject and said something he was not expecting.

"But I do know someone who might know a lot more than I do!" Candice blinked and looked at Shao Yun mysteriously.

When Shao Yun heard that someone Candice knew might know the information about the Abyss Mage, he instantly became excited and asked eagerly, "Who is it?"

A figure slowly emerged in Candice's mind, a boy with emerald green eyes like gemstones and brown hair with a few strands of bleached gray hair.

She calmed herself down and patiently explained to Shao Yun, "This man's name is Sesos. Maybe he can provide some useful clues."

When Shao Yun heard the name Sesos, fragments of memory about this person flashed quickly through his mind.

He should be from the Temple of Silence. Judging from the current time, the leader of the Temple of Silence, "Bamun", who is also his grandfather, should still be alive.

While Shao Yun was carefully sorting out all the information about Sesos in his mind, he continued to say to Candice: "Oh, so that's how it is. Then can you do me a favor... I really hope to meet him."

Although the Hall of Silence has always been responsible for managing the knowledge left over from the Scarlet King civilization, these people have lived in the desert for so long that they must have more or less knowledge of the whereabouts of the Abyss Mage.

When Candice heard Shao Yun say that he wanted to meet Sesos, she nodded and said, "No problem; however, I'm not sure when he will come to Aru Village. But if he comes, I will definitely tell him."

Seeing that Candice was willing to act as a matchmaker and introduce herself to Sesos, Shao Yun hurriedly thanked her.

"Thank you very much. I don't know what I would have done without your help."

Candice had a smile on her face and responded to Shao Yun with gratitude.

"I should also thank you for providing a library to our Aru Village for free."
