Chapter 1269 Daines Reeb is willing to help
When Shao Yun heard Dain suddenly say the unfamiliar name "Harden," he asked in surprise, "Harden? Who's that? I only know Langdon..."
Daines Reb briefly explained, "Harden was my instructor when I studied with Surtrouch at the Knights Academy in Canria."
"He calls himself an instructor, but he's really just a pervert who abuses newly recruited knights to maintain his own status. Back in the academy, he tormented us students quite a bit."
He paused, then said in a complicated tone, "Surtroch's later twisted personality was also inextricably linked to Harden's long-term abuse."
Just then, Kong, who was sitting at the table, heard Dain mention "Harden," put down his cutlery, and interjected, reminding him, "Are you talking about Coach Harden from the Kanria Knight Academy?"
"He is currently within Nata territory, but due to the cataclysm five hundred years ago, his memory has been severely damaged, and he can no longer remember his time at the Knight Academy."
"His entire personality has changed. He's no longer the perverted instructor he used to be; instead, he's become quite gentle."
Daines Reb looked at Kong sitting to the side. When Kong mentioned Harden's current situation, he was not surprised at all.
However, Shen He and Ning Guang were sitting at the dining table. Dai Yin knew that he should not mention the Abyss Order in front of these two, lest it cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
So he said in a calm tone, "Harden has followed you too? Not surprising, after all, you are regarded as the savior by the Kanria people, it is normal for them to follow you."
Shao Yun sat to the side, listening to the group talk about everything from the Extreme Evil Riders to Harden, and then from Harden to the old stories of Canria. He felt the conversation was gradually veering off course towards "archaeology".
He quickly cleared his throat, steer the conversation back to the present, and looked at Dain, asking, "Speaking of which, Dain's Reeb, where have you been all this time?"
"I haven't heard from you since we parted ways in Mondstadt."
Dainesreb explained calmly, "After the crisis in Mondstadt was resolved, I began aimlessly searching for the whereabouts of those five sinners!"
"result……"
Upon hearing this, Kong deliberately drew out his question, "And then... what happened?"
When this was mentioned, Dain's tone became noticeably colder, but the content was full of helplessness.
"I didn't find a single clue. I searched for months until tonight, when I finally caught a whiff of the Evil Rider in this area and tracked him all the way here."
Seeing that Dai Yin was still standing there, Shao Yun quickly pointed to the empty seat next to the dining table and reminded her, "Yin, why don't you sit down first and have something to eat?"
"Ningguang's cooking skills are quite good. These roasted meats and sweet stuffed chickens are freshly made. Let's eat and chat, and slowly talk about the Extreme Evil Riders."
Dain nodded without refusing and sat down in the empty seat.
Ningguang, with her keen eye, went to the kitchen and brought out a set of cutlery, handing it to Dain, and then put a piece of roast meat on his plate.
"Mr. Dain, you must be tired from your journey. Try this first to replenish your energy."
Dain took the cutlery, nodded to Ningguang in thanks, and then picked up the cutlery and began to eat slowly.
……
After Paimon heard about what had happened during the day, he suddenly let out a sharp, explosive sound.
"What! The Extreme Evil Knight? Those five sinners from Kanria? He actually came to the ranch!"
Paimon's voice was shrill and loud, so loud that Shao Yun subconsciously rubbed his ears.
He frowned and gestured for Paimon to lower his voice.
"Paimon, keep your voice down, it's hurting my ears. This room isn't small, but you don't have to be so loud."
Paimon then realized she was speaking too loudly and quickly covered her mouth, but she still leaned close to Shao Yun and asked in a low, muffled voice:
"Oh, sorry, sorry! I was just too surprised. But, that's the Extreme Evil Knight! Dain said he's incredibly strong and has absolutely no bottom line. He looks like someone you really shouldn't mess with... Can we really beat him?"
Looking at Paimon's worried expression, Shao Yun gently shook his head, his tone showing no fear of the Extreme Evil Riders.
"For me, the most dangerous person in the world right now isn't some vicious knight, but my precious daughter."
"Don't be fooled by her quiet demeanor; she's well-behaved when drinking milk and sleeping. But when she throws a tantrum, she could tear the house down."
Upon hearing this, the expressions on everyone's faces turned strange.
Shen He held the baby who was lying peacefully in his arms and explained, "The baby only throws a little tantrum occasionally, but is actually very well-behaved!"
When Paimon heard that Shao Yun was actually more afraid of the baby being unhappy, he scratched the back of his head and muttered, "Hmm... I've never seen the baby look unhappy before."
“Every time I see her, she smiles at me.”
Daines Reeb sat to the side, watching the conversation veer from the perilous Extreme Riders to the adorable daily life of Shao Yun's children. He felt that the topic had taken such a dramatic turn that if they continued talking, they might completely forget about the main issue.
He cleared his throat and spoke seriously, drawing everyone's attention back to him.
"The battle a week from now..."
After a moment of thought, Dain asked directly, "The strength of the Evil Knight far exceeds our understanding. He is not only proficient in the fighting skills of the Kanria Knights, but also able to control the power of the abyss. He may even possess special abilities from the universe now."
"So, Mr. Shao Yun, how do you plan to deal with him a week from now?"
Hearing Dai Yin's serious question, Shao Yun suddenly grinned and made a joke without a care in the world.
"Respond?" He paused deliberately before continuing, "Would I throw a grand party, serving him fine wine and food? No..."
"I will fight him, but that's a week from now, and there's no point in thinking about it now."
After saying that, he leaned back in his chair and stretched.
"The only thing I need to worry about now is whether tomorrow's weather will be suitable for grazing. The cattle and sheep in the pasture are waiting to come out of the pen to graze, and I don't want tomorrow to be a rainy day."
Daines Reeb was very worried as he watched Shao Yun's seemingly indifferent attitude towards the duel.
He knew all too well the current strength of the Evil Knights. After so many years, their strength had become unfathomable, far surpassing what they had been like in Kanria.
He was genuinely afraid that Shao Yun, because of this ease, would underestimate his opponent and ultimately suffer an unexpected defeat.
“He’s very strong, far beyond our imagination.” Din said with exasperation, “Are you sure you want to treat this decisive battle so lightly? If we make a mistake, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
Upon hearing this, Shao Yun's smile faded slightly. He shrugged and said helplessly, "What can I do? Who can I ask for help?"
"Are you looking for Mavica, or are you going to help me?"
Upon hearing Shao Yun mention him, Dai Yin immediately straightened up and said with great enthusiasm:
"Even without you saying so, I will seek revenge on him. I dream of making him and the other four sinners vanish into thin air!"
"Whether you need it or not, I will help! Not for you, but for myself!"
He paused, then changed the subject, looking at Shao Yun with a puzzled expression: "But you... why didn't you hide?"
"What I mean is, I think you're a naive person. You like to avoid trouble when you encounter it, that's about it."
Seeing this, Shao Yun, while reviewing his relationships in other countries, said:
“I may be a fool, but I’m not mentally challenged. I have nowhere else to go! Nata is the only country that can accept me right now, and it even meets my expectations.”
"Besides, you can run away but you can't hide. I can't just watch my hard-earned ranch be destroyed. So, I can't run away."
……
In conclusion, Shao Yun's words dispelled Dai Yin's doubts.
After dinner, it was time to settle the guests in.
Skirk slept on the sofa in the living room, while Daines Reeb made do with the sofa in the transfer room between the living room and the kitchen for the night.
Anyway, it was better than sleeping in the open, so neither of them had any objections.
The rest of the people were all family members, each with their own room, and after the meal, they all went about their own business.
The peaceful night passed quickly, and the next morning, the ranch awoke to birdsong, everything as usual, full of the warmth and life of everyday life.
At breakfast, everyone sat around the table, eating hot porridge and steamed buns, occasionally chatting about the day's plans, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
But Ying was a little different today; she, who usually ate breakfast slowly, ate even faster than Shao Yun today, and hurriedly went back upstairs after putting down her utensils.
Shao Yun watched Ying's retreating figure, shook his head with a smile, and assumed that she hadn't slept enough last night and wanted to go back to her room for a nap, so he didn't think much of it.
Just as Shao Yun finished breakfast and was about to go to the backyard to find Yuan Shang to let the cattle and sheep out, a series of light footsteps suddenly came from the stairwell.
He turned around and saw that Ying had changed into that "sharpshooter girl" outfit.
Ying skipped over to Shao Yun, twirled around, and asked with a smile, "Are you going to herd the sheep again today?"
Shao Yun looked Ying up and down at her outfit, which she hadn't worn in a long time, and couldn't help but tease, "Wow, the sun seems to have risen in the west today. Wearing this outfit..."
After the teasing ended, Shao Yun replied, "Speaking of which... today is of course about herding cattle. Are you going to herd cattle for me?"
He had only said it casually, but Ying's eyes lit up, she rolled her eyes and nodded happily.
"Sure, you can give it a try! Look, I've already changed my clothes so I can move around easily. How about it? My figure hasn't changed after giving birth, has it?"
As she spoke, Ying deliberately spread her forearms and puffed out her chest, so that Shao Yun could see more clearly her decent figure.
Shao Yun stepped forward, reached out and pinched Ying's nose, saying affectionately, "Alright, stop being so vain. Herding is no joke. You have to run after the cattle and sheep all morning. It's exhausting. How can you possibly handle it?"
Ying slapped away Shao Yun's hand that was pinching her nose, put her hands on her hips, and said with a determined look:
"Hey, don't underestimate me! This is my home too, what's wrong with contributing a little to it?"
"Besides, can adventure be more tiring than herding cattle? It's settled then, I'll go herding cattle with you today!"
