Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 579: The King appoints a knight?

Pretending to have completed the commission, Shao Yun received his reward from Catherine and returned to the Thorn Rose Society base in Huihe to rest.

As soon as he entered the room, Shao Yun immediately changed out of Dutch van der Linde's "gang leader" clothes and put on his own "sharpshooter suit".

Even though he wasn't shopping with Ying, Shao Yun still liked to wear this set of clothes. For no other reason than the buff effect that came with this set of clothes, which could reduce the consumption of three core items, life, stamina and Death's Eye by 60%, was too practical!

At this moment, a question suddenly popped up on the system.

How does it feel to have done all this?

Shao Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of intoxication appeared on his face, and he slowly said: "I don't know, I just feel the sense of power to control everything and lead everyone."

"And the satisfaction of seeing so many followers looking at you in awe. I even feel that if I want, I can lead this group of people to rush into a bank and rob it in the next second!"

After listening to Shao Yun's description, the system immediately gave a vivid metaphor.

[Like a king who canonizes knights? ]

Seeing this sentence, Shao Yun couldn't help but smile, because he instantly understood whose famous quote the system borrowed.

"Yes, that's what the uncle said by the campfire. Even though the uncle always looks lazy and likes to eat, I have to admit that he has a pretty accurate eye for people."

Then Shao Yun denied it, "But you are wrong this time. I don't want to be a king! You know, my biggest wish is to open a ranch."

The system considered whether Shao Yun should be the so-called "king" and predicted the problems that would be caused by Shao Yun's behavior.

[You have caused a big public opinion storm. Next, Fontaine may start a discussion on the "death penalty."]

Hearing this, Shao Yun seemed to be unconcerned, and even waved his hand casually with some boredom, responding nonchalantly.

"I don't care. What's important is that Marcelle or this guy named Vash was tortured to death by me! The families of the victims are happy, and I am happy too."

After saying this, Shao Yun's face showed a hint of cruelty, and he continued, "As for those guys who stayed behind to cover the retreat, they are destined to not escape trial."

"And by judging them, I can also obtain a certain amount of Law Compensation Mixed Energy. I'm sure even Funina will be grateful to me for this! Everyone is happy!"

After listening to what Shao Yun said, the system became a little alert.

【I can feel that you are enjoying the pleasure brought by all this. 】

However, facing the system's questioning, Shao Yun flatly denied: "I'm not enjoying it!"

"It's just that damned Vash, he didn't even check the almanac before launching the attack! If Ying hadn't had a scratch, I wouldn't have cared about him!"

At this moment, the system suddenly raised a thought-provoking question.

"Why did you keep the name Dutch van der Linde? Do you want to be famous for it?"

Shao Yun shook his head in bewilderment and muttered to himself, "To be honest, I really don't know why I did this. I don't even know why I left this name."

After a moment of silence, the system gave an evaluation.

[Within two days, Dutch van der Linde's name will spread like a flood throughout Fontaine! Even throughout Teyvat!]

However, Shao Yun seemed unusually calm, and responded lightly: "As long as I no longer wear the clothes of Dutch van der Linde, then this name will not be a problem no matter how loud it is."

Then, the system uttered a passage full of philosophy.

[Once people have tasted the happiness brought by power and fame, they will not stop. This feeling of happiness is more terrifying than Les.]

Hearing this, Shao Yun scratched his ears nonchalantly and said impatiently: "Whatever you say, it's all irrelevant nonsense to me anyway."

"Instead of acting as some so-called great philosopher here, it would be more practical for you to help me plan a travel guide for Fontaine."

Seeing Shao Yun's attitude, the system did not directly respond to his request, but instead cleverly changed the subject.

[Let’s not talk about this for now. Your wife and children will be home soon. ]

……

At the moment the system disappeared, the door suddenly opened slowly.

Ying and Paimeng walked in with worried looks on their faces.

At this time, Shao Yun pretended to have been waiting for these two people for a long time, and asked with a smile: "Ying? You are finally back?"

However, Ying did not respond to Shao Yun's greeting. Her eyes fell on Shao Yun. After exchanging glances with Paimeng beside her, she asked in a serious tone: "Shao Yun, the person who took Vashie away this morning... was it you?"

Hearing this question, Shao Yun was stunned at first, then he showed an expression of complete ignorance, widened his eyes and asked back: "What? Vashie was kidnapped!"

Ying stared at Shao Yun's expression, trying to find a flaw in his subtle changes.

But Shao Yun's acting skills were so superb that she could only continue to ask in confusion: "Washie was kidnapped! Are you really not aware of this at all?"

Shao Yun rolled his eyes in annoyance when he saw this, and said sarcastically, "Is the security of Fontaine so poor? It seems that the value of the Mondstadt Knights of Favonius is getting higher and higher. At least Captain Jean didn't let the 'Strange Bird' escape."

After saying this, he shook his head slightly, as if he was very dissatisfied with the public security in Fontainebleau.

……

Meanwhile, in Mondstadt.

"Ah!"

"Captain Qin, do you have a cold?"

"It's okay, Noelle, my nose just itches a little."

"My nose is itchy. Could it be the dust in the office?"

"No, Noelle, the house is very clean. I guess someone is talking about me. Lord Barbatos, the God of Wind, is reminding me."

……

Seeing Shao Yun making fun of the security situation in Fontainebleau, Ying's original suspicions about him instantly dissipated.

She sighed helplessly and muttered to herself: "Well, it seems that you really don't know anything about this."

At this time, Shao Yun pretended to be interested and asked with a very curious look: "What's going on? Tell me quickly."

……

Let’s go back to the Oprykle Opera House not long ago.

Ying and Paimon did not appear outside the door due to the blockade by the security team.

After "Dutch van der Linde" played by Shao Yun left, they learned that the families of the victims of the serial disappearance of girls had kidnapped Vashie under the leadership of a mysterious man.

At this time, Charlotte was concentrating on organizing the relevant reports on the trial scene and the first-hand information about the prisoner hijacking incident.

Ten minutes ago, Charlotte was organizing the report on the trial scene.

However, unexpectedly, today there was a buy one get one free offer. The families of the victims of the serial disappearance of young girls robbed "Vache" with the help of a mysterious man and criticized Fontaine's laws.

This was beyond description as explosive. Ever since Villette became the Supreme Judge, no one had criticized Fontaine's laws like this in the past three or four hundred years!

When "Shao Yun" robbed the prisoner just now, she was also present and took a lot of photos! She provided a lot of material!

"Oh my God, this news is so explosive!" At this moment, Charlotte could hardly suppress her inner excitement, and her voice trembled slightly with excitement.

She knew very well that this explosive news would cause an uproar and become the hot topic of the entire Fontaine.

Paimon felt a little embarrassed when he saw Charlotte smiling at some photos and manuscripts with great enthusiasm and complete oblivion.

She cleared her throat and said, "Charlotte, you are here too? As expected, wherever there is an explosive incident, you can always be easily found."

When Charlotte heard the voice, she looked up and saw Ying and Paimon standing in front of her. She quickly put away the materials she had sorted out in her hands, then greeted them with a smile.

"It's Ying and Paimon. What a coincidence, you two are here too!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Charlotte's keen intuition as a reporter was instantly aroused.

She smiled slyly and brightly, and then said, "I am increasingly suspicious that you two seem to have a special physique that is different from others."

"Wherever you are, there will definitely be big news that attracts attention!"

(Hing and Paimon are the "murderous elementary school students" in a certain Beika Town.)

When Paimon heard Charlotte's vivid metaphor, an extremely embarrassed look suddenly appeared on his face.

She stammered in response, "Ah... Well, now that you put it that way, it seems to make some sense... But, I always feel that this statement sounds a bit weird..."

Charlotte realized that she might have been too excited, so she coughed a few times to cover up her embarrassment and quickly explained, "Oh, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault for being too excited."

"You know, in just this week, so many shocking news broke out one after another, making my blood boil and I can hardly control myself."

"First, Mr. Tacitus defeated the strongest duel agent Miss Clorinde in a duel, and now a mysterious gunman injured the strongest duel agent 'Claurinde' and the special training team captain 'Xiawolei'!"

“It feels like a storm is coming to Fontaine!”

Seeing Charlotte getting more and more excited, Ying couldn't help but feel worried, so she kindly reminded her: "Charlotte, don't make up stories just to attract attention!"

After hearing what Ying said, Charlotte was slightly stunned at first, then she patted her chest vigorously and assured her solemnly: "Oh, don't worry! I know everything.

"My reporting is based on verification, truth-seeking, independence, supervision, conscience, and interest and relevance."

"So, I would never do something that would destroy my reputation! I won the 'Lavel Award' with great difficulty, how could I destroy this reputation so easily?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Charlotte seemed to suddenly remember something and kindly reminded him.

"But then again, there are indeed some unscrupulous tabloids nowadays. They will do anything to attract attention. They have already portrayed Clorinde as a complete loser!"

"What's even more outrageous is that even some of the lesser-known tabloids in Gray River actually described Clorinde as a duel liar who was a silver-plated spearhead with nothing but good looks and a weak heart! This is really too much!"

When Paimon heard this, he immediately put his hands on his hips, his face flushed red, and said angrily: "Ugh! How can these guys write such a false report? Obviously Clorinde's skills are so amazing! This is outrageous!"

Charlotte shook her head gently and said, "I will definitely fight against those unfounded false reports to the end!"

"But you must also spend more time to comfort Clorinde. She was seriously injured this time."

When Paimon heard that Charlotte actually asked him to comfort Clorinde, he couldn't help but show a puzzled expression on his face, and asked in confusion: "Comfort her? What does that mean?"

Seeing Paimon's bewildered look, Charlotte was also a little surprised, so she asked curiously, "Oh? Shouldn't it be possible?"

"I saw you guys having dinner together a few days ago, talking and laughing. It seems like you have a pretty good relationship."

"Isn't it normal to give some warm comfort to friends when they are frustrated or hurt?"

At this moment, Paimon suddenly realized that what Charlotte was talking about was the incident four days ago when they invited Clorinde to have dinner together. He was so surprised that his mouth opened wide.

"Ah? Charlotte, how did you know that we dined with Clorinde?"

Charlotte winked mischievously, showing a sly smile, and then replied softly: "Hehe, the Debo Hotel is very close to our Steambird Newspaper Office."

"Just two days ago when I got my salary, I went there for a special meal. When I was about to finish my meal and leave, I saw you guys coming in."

"I originally wanted to wait for you to finish your meal and then interview you, but I didn't expect that the killer would cause trouble for you..."

When Ying heard that Charlotte was present at the incident, she asked immediately, "So, Charlotte, did you write a report about what happened that day?"

Charlotte nodded without hesitation and asked as a matter of course, "That's right, don't you ever buy the daily Steam Bird newspaper? Big events like this are always on the front page!"

After saying that, she looked at Ying and Paimon with a slightly surprised and puzzled look.

Ying and Paimeng looked at each other, because they didn't have the habit of buying newspapers on weekdays.

After the two looked at each other for a moment, Ying shrugged helplessly, then crossed her arms and muttered softly, "It seems that we have to buy fewer detective novels in the future. We have to spend more money to buy Steambird Newspaper to read."

Paimon on the side also agreed deeply, nodding repeatedly and saying: "Yes, yes, if you don't read the newspaper more often, you will probably miss a lot of important news!"
