Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 1294 The Great Hole Connecting to the Kingdom of Night

Shao Yun watched as Mavica turned and walked towards the door, then pulled Ying along and followed her out.

As he reached the door, he looked at Mavica and couldn't help but remind her again, "As for the Kingdom of Night, just send people around to maintain order and prevent unauthorized personnel from getting close. Don't worry too much."

"The ley lines are fine, and it's only a matter of time before the ground is repaired. There's no need to put too much pressure on yourself."

As soon as Mavica stepped out of the room, she heard Shao Yun's instructions and immediately stopped.

She turned around, her gaze lingering on Shao Yun for a few seconds. Somewhat hesitant to speak, her fingers unconsciously clenching, she finally said:

"By the way, Mr. Shao Yun, um... how are you feeling these days? Is there anything that's bothering you?"

Seeing Mavica's hesitant and winking expression, Shao Yun knew that she must have something else on her mind.

He raised his chin and said bluntly, "Just say what you have to say, no need to beat around the bush. I'm just a little tired, but otherwise I'm fine."

Mavica pointed in the direction of the Holy Fire Arena and said seriously, "Then can you come with me to handle the aftermath of the Evil Knights?"

"After all, this battle caused such a huge commotion. Many people in Nata saw the crack in the sky and the light of the battle, and there must be many questions that need to be answered."

Upon hearing that Mavica wanted his help with the cleanup, Shao Yun pointed to himself and asked with a puzzled expression:

"Me? Are you kidding me? I'm not very good at dealing with public relations and politics. I'm good at fighting, but I'm really bad at explaining things to people."

Mavica unconsciously twisted her hands together and quickly explained, "I didn't mean for you to deal with those complicated interpersonal relationships!"

"What I mean is, this whole thing has blown up so much, but I haven't actually made any substantial contribution. Instead, I was captured by the Evil Knights and taken hostage."

"I'm worried that someone will later claim all the credit for resolving the crisis as mine..."

“I have already borne much of your glory…” Mavica said, unconsciously shrugging her shoulders, her tone full of helplessness.

"So, don't refuse this time. How about we make a detailed record?"

Ying, standing to the side, realized that Mavica had business to discuss with Shao Yun, so she patted Shao Yun's arm and said, "I have no objection. You decide for yourself, husband. If you feel tired, you can refuse."

After saying that, she turned around and went back into the house, leaving them space to talk.

Looking into Mavica's sincere eyes, Shao Yun thought about the impact of this battle.

Seeing that Mavica wanted him to give a statement and objectively recount the course of the battle, Shao Yun readily agreed.

After all, given the magnitude of the incident, Mawika needs to give an explanation to the public.

Having figured this out, Shao Yun readily agreed, smiling as she said, "Okay, okay, I'll go with you."

"But let's agree that you won't deliberately publicize me. I'm just going with you to give a statement and explain the whole story. Don't push me into the spotlight again."

Seeing that Shao Yun agreed, Mavica quickly nodded, waved to him, and said, "Don't worry! I definitely won't promote you on purpose!"

"Let's hurry up and go, so we can get back sooner and finish this quickly."

Shao Yun responded and walked side by side with Mavica toward the Holy Flame Arena.

Even after dealing with the extremely vicious knights, his "post-battle work" wasn't over yet.

……

Meanwhile, the area around the large hole in the Nata ground that had been smashed open by the Evil Riders and directly connected to the Kingdom of Night Gods was already crowded with Nata people watching the spectacle.

People gathered in twos and threes, some standing on tiptoe to peer into the pit, some pointing at the large hole in the sky, and others vividly describing the battle scene they had witnessed to those around them.

As for whether it's true or false, that's hard to say. After all, news spreads from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, so it's inevitable that some people will embellish the story.

"My God! This pit is so deep! I can't even see the bottom when I look down. Does it really lead to the Kingdom of Night?"

"Haven't you heard? I heard there was a powerful villain who wanted to destroy Nata, but luckily someone intervened and stopped him!"

"I even saw two figures emerge from the pit! I was so scared that I ran home as fast as I could. I still feel terrified when I think about it now!"

Amidst the murmurs and gasps of surprise, the crowd continued to surge toward the pit. Without proper control, there was a high risk of people falling into the crater.

Just then, Ianshan arrived in a hurry with the members of the Land of Wolu.

Upon receiving the news, she immediately took her tools and led a large group of people out of the Olympic Stadium, fearing that something might happen if she was even a step too late.

Ianshan flipped off the dragon chariot, walked quickly to the edge of the pit, looked down at the faintly visible Kingdom of the Night God below, and frowned slightly.

With such a large opening, if someone were to fall in, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The Kingdom of Night Gods is not a good place for ordinary people.

She quickly turned around and assigned tasks to the members behind her.

"Everyone, it's an emergency! Immediately set up a cordon around this large pit, and absolutely no one is allowed to get too close to the edge!"

"Valesha, you're strong, so I'll leave the task of driving the stakes in to you. Remember to drive them in deep to make sure they're secure."

"Then, everyone acted according to the pre-established emergency plan, with clear division of labor, to set up the cordon and guide the onlookers, ensuring no mistakes were made!"

“Yes, Coach!” Varesa responded loudly and immediately turned around to unload the large wooden stakes from the dragon cart.

Each of those wooden stakes was as thick as an adult's waist, nearly two meters long, and quite heavy, but Varesa carried them with ease and strode towards the edge of the pit.

Seeing her hurried pace, Ianshan couldn't help but remind her, "Valesha, don't rush the progress! These wooden stakes are heavy, be careful not to twist your back."

"Got it, Coach! I know what I'm doing!" Varesa shouted without turning her head, having already found her position and started hammering wooden stakes into the ground with her fists.

Just as Ian Shane was leading the team to set up a cordon and direct the crowd around the pit, the energetic girl Marani arrived.

Maranie, a girl who loves to join in the fun, happened to be riding by on her shark surfboard when she saw the commotion...

She then squeezed into the crowd and saw the large hole leading to the Kingdom of Night.

Wow! How did such a huge hole suddenly appear in the ground?

While the Nata people on the surface were discussing the large hole, a different scene was unfolding in the underground Kingdom of the Night God.

As the saying goes, the ghost you fear is actually a loved one that someone else longs to see but can never see.

Countless souls, glowing with a hazy gray light, awoke from their slumber and gathered below the large hole that connected to the surface above.

Normally, these souls should be in a dormant state.

However, the battle between Shao Yun and the Extreme Evil Riders was too intense, and the strong energy fluctuations woke up the sleeping souls, even though Kong had coated the Abyss Order with a protective layer.

Agaia's soul was also among them.

She had been in the Kingdom of Night for more than half a year, and now she was curiously looking towards the surface of the earth, trying to find familiar faces in the noisy crowd.

Suddenly, a vibrant voice floated down from the cave entrance, instantly capturing Agaia's attention.

The voice sounded exactly like the little girl who always lingered around her in her memory.

"Huh? Is that Marani?"

Ajaya's soul trembled slightly as she saw the figure carrying the Shark surfboard, squeezed in the front row of the crowd.

Overwhelmed with excitement, Agaya called out softly towards the surface, "Marani! Is that you?"

Marani, on the surface, was tiptoeing and peering into the pit when she suddenly heard a familiar yet ethereal voice coming from below.

She stopped abruptly, looked down in the direction of the sound, and her gaze instantly settled on the familiar figure below the hole.

Although the figure was a semi-transparent soul form, its gentle outline and familiar tone gradually overlapped with the image of Aunt Agaya in my memory.

Maranie's eyes widened instantly, and she didn't even notice the shark surfboard she was holding falling to the ground with a clatter. She excitedly waved and shouted into the cave:

"Aunt Agaya!!! Is that you? I'm here!"

She shouted and waved her arms vigorously, as if afraid that Agaya couldn't see her clearly.

The person she thought she would never see again appeared before her in this way.

Agaia, who was floating below the cave, smiled gently when she saw Marani's excited expression.

She quickly called out to Marani, "Slow down your waving, be careful! Don't stand too close to the edge of the pit, or you'll fall in. I don't want to reunite with you in the Kingdom of Night so soon."

Even as a spirit, she couldn't shake her habit of caring for Marani, her tone full of an elder's concern for a younger generation.

"I understand!" Marani replied, her voice choked with emotion, but she still couldn't bear to look away. She wiped away her tears and shouted her longing into the cave.

"Aunt Agaya, I miss you so much!"

Agaia looked at Marani on the ground, whose eyes were red-rimmed but who was still trying to smile, and sighed softly, her voice filled with the gentleness unique to an elder.

"I miss you too, Marani. I heard from the Great Spirit that Nata has returned to peace and there has been no more Abyss Wars. You must cherish these peaceful days."

"By the way, how's the hot spring in the tribe doing now?"

Those hot springs are the lifeblood of the tribe. They not only provide entertainment and relaxation for the people, but also attract tourists and bring income to the tribe.

Agaia tended to them almost every day before she died, and she had a special affection for them. Not to mention, she also loved soaking in hot springs, but her injuries prevented her from doing so...

When Marani heard the word "hot spring," her eyes flickered slightly.

Actually, since Agaia left, the hot spring has been maintained in a normal manner, but occasionally tourists still litter.

But in order to make Agaia happy, she pretended to be relaxed and told a lie.

"Don't worry, Aunt Agaya! The hot spring is well-maintained. The water is changed every day, and the surrounding area is kept very clean."

"Our village is packed with tourists every day, and many foreigners come here specifically to soak in our hot springs!"

"We're even planning to expand the hot springs now! Everything's thriving!"
