Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 502: Temporary Residence in the Tanit Tribe

Under the cover of night, a grand banquet was being held in the tribe.

Babel introduced Jade to the important people in the tribe.

First up was Yuften, the man who raised the crocodiles. He was a little short, but had very strong muscles.

Although Yuften has a slight stutter when he speaks, when he talks about the crocodiles he raises, he will try his best to express the functions of these crocodiles despite his stuttering.

These crocodiles are an important source of meat for the tribe and one of the guarantees for the tribe's survival.

Then, Babel pointed to Marcela and his adopted daughter, the falcon "Tadella", who were not far away.

As one of the tribal elders, Masaila's position is also very important.

However, what surprised Ying and Paimon was that Tadala just showed up and left, being wary of everything around him, giving people a feeling that he was difficult to approach.

Afterwards, Babel introduced Jade to Adelphi, who was responsible for the tribe's business dealings with the outside world.

Adelphi is quick-witted, good at communicating with others, and is able to obtain the necessary supplies and resources for the tribe.

Finally, Babel introduced her adopted son, "Asarig", the man standing in the corner who was too strong and even looked a little swollen.

Although Ying and Paimon didn't understand why Babel adopted a son at such a young age, they didn't ask any more questions out of respect for tribal customs.

Shao Yun looked at "Asarig" and thought, is this Babel's lover? Is it because the clothes she wears make her look a little bloated? She doesn't look strong in that aspect either...

What did Babel like about him? Was it because of his status and interests? Maybe...

However, no one in the tribe knew the true relationship between these two people. Shao Yun only heard it by chance when he was staying here that night.

After all, no one in the tribe would dare to hang around the door of the mistress' room late at night.

As for Shao Yun, it was his first time here and he didn't know where the toilet was...

……

When the party was about to end, Babel took Jade's hand and walked towards her own room.

As the matriarch of the tribe, Babel possessed high power and status. She transformed this original room in the canyon ruins into her own bedroom.

Jade looked at the interior of Babel's dormitory with curiosity. Although it was not luxurious, it was obviously much better than the simple tents where other tribal members lived.

As Jade was observing with interest, Babel said softly, "Jade, from now on, you will officially become a member of our tribe. There are some things I need to talk to you alone."

Hearing this, Jade's heart moved, realizing that what the mistress was going to say next must be of great importance.

So she quickly put away the smile on her face, straightened her back, and asked seriously, "What is it? Madam Babel, please tell me clearly!"

Because Shao Yun was also present, and they had only just met and didn't know Jade's background, Babel did not immediately reveal her vicious side.

Instead, she began to patiently give instructions to Jade, like a kind and loving mother.

"Survival in the desert is not like the rain forest on the other side of the sand barrier. It is very cruel. You have to be mentally prepared."

Jade nodded slightly and said firmly, "I understand. I have lived in the desert since I can remember. I know very well how difficult and cruel it is to survive in the desert. Madam, don't worry about me."

When Jade said that she grew up in the desert, Babel was stunned for a moment, then said: "I didn't expect it, I thought you were a desert person living in the rain forest..."

Realizing that the topic seemed to have gone off track, Babel quickly stopped talking and continued to explain.

"Okay, let's get back to the point. Although it is much better for our tribe to live together than for you to venture out alone in the desert, in order to maintain the operation and development of the entire tribe, everyone must do their best to give and contribute..."

At this point, Babel paused, observing the changes in Jade's expression, and added: "To put it simply, the overall interests of the tribe must be considered first in everything."

"This may sound a bit inhumane and even cruel, but it is indeed the key to our survival in such a harsh environment."

These words were also a small test. Babel wanted to find out Jade's true thoughts and attitudes so as to formulate the next action plan based on her response.

Jade straightened up without hesitation and replied, "Don't worry, Madam Babel, I understand. Although I am not very old, my father taught me a lot of fighting skills! I will make my own contribution to the tribe."

Seeing how Jade so simply decided to serve the tribe loyally, Babel couldn't help but feel secretly happy in her heart, but on the surface she still pretended to be amiable and kind.

"Dear Jade, you are like a young gazelle full of life."

"However, our tribe does not need you to make a big contribution right now."

"So, you should first get familiar with and adapt to the living environment within our tribe. As for what specific arrangements and tasks will be assigned to you later... well, let's think about it slowly later."

Barbel's words sounded very considerate, but in fact she had already made up her mind.

Since Jade seems very obedient now, Babel wants to temporarily assign her a job in the tribe to see how capable she is.

If he doesn't have any special abilities, just give him to a young man from the tribe.

If it has strong combat capability, then train it into a "Falcon" or even...

At this time, after listening to what Babel said, Jade hesitated for a moment and asked in a tentative tone: "Um...Madam Babel, I actually have something I want to ask you about."

Hearing this, Babel collected her thoughts that had drifted away and asked with interest: "Oh? What's the matter? Tell me about it."

Jie took out a slightly old but well-preserved notebook, which was a relic left by her long-deceased mother.

She held the notebook tightly, raised her head slowly, and said, "Madam Babel, have you heard of the place called 'Eternal Oasis'?"

Barbelle just reached out reflexively to take the notebook that Jade handed to her.

However, at this moment, she suddenly heard the four exciting words "Eternal Oasis".

In an instant, Babel's eyes, which were covered by the Gilded Brigade's eye mask, revealed a sharp and greedy light like a poisonous scorpion.

Originally, Babel only regarded Jade as an ordinary tool.

However, when Jade revealed valuable information about the "Eternal Oasis", Babel instantly changed her mind.

She realized that the blood relationship between the traitor in front of her and the outsider was definitely not simple and was worth spending more of her thoughts and energy on.

……

After the welcoming banquet for Jade, Babel arranged accommodation for Shao Yun, Ying, Paimeng and Jade, which was two desert tents set up in the canyon ruins.

The two tents are very close to each other, basically touching each other.

Because Babel introduced many tribal members to Jade at the banquet, Jade was too busy to think for a while, so as soon as she entered the tent, she lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

On the other side, in the tent where Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng lived.

Shao Yun sat leisurely on the double bed that Babel had specially arranged for him, looking at Ying who was deep in thought, and asked, "So, shall we go directly to Fontaine next?"

"If we go north from here, if we go fast enough, we can reach the coast in about two days."

Ying frowned slightly, and after thinking seriously for a moment, she shook her head gently and replied slowly: "Well... I think we should wait a few days before making a decision."

Seeing that Ying still wanted to continue eating sand in the desert, Shao Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly and persuade her a few words.

"Now that Jade has found her own place to stay, everything has basically been settled. Isn't it our turn to pay more attention to our own affairs?"

In stark contrast to Shao Yun's indifferent attitude, Ying was like a curious cat, feeling that this was not over yet.

"Deep in my heart, I have a strong intuition that Jade's return to the tribe may not be as simple as it seems."

Seeing that he couldn't convince Ying to change her mind no matter what, Shao Yun could only sigh helplessly, then leaned back, lay on the bed, and muttered.

"Forget it, if that's the case, then it's up to you."

"Anyway, Babel has already said that we are their distinguished guests and can stay here as long as we want. When you and Paimon decide to leave one day, we can just leave."

After saying this, Shao Yun closed his eyes, stopped talking, and gave up the idea of ​​persuading Ying.

Anyway, he is here, and if the femme fatale Babel wants to do anything, Shao Yun will let her know what true de-camping means!

Ying watched Shao Yun lying on the bed. Seeing that it was getting late, she took off her boots and lay down next to Shao Yun, ready to go to sleep.

As for Paimon, Babel prepared a crib from somewhere...

It seems that even after coming to the desert, Paimon has not escaped the curse of sleeping in a crib...
