Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 1112 Security Preparations Before the Wedding

On the roadside at the entrance of the ranch, two pure black Shire horses were standing tall, pulling a brand new freight cart behind them. The wheels were covered with non-slip rubber, which looked sturdy and durable.

These two Shire horses are exceptionally tall, with shoulder heights of more than two meters. Their pure black manes are shiny and smooth, with a metallic luster in the morning sun. Their muscles are tight and powerful, and just standing there they exude the majesty of "giants among horses."

Shao Yun walked closer to take a look and couldn't help but admire it in his heart.

Whether it is plowing the land or hauling goods, they are definitely good at it. With them, the heavy work and procurement and transportation on the ranch will be much more convenient in the future.

The Shire horse is a cold-blooded horse with a calm temperament and extremely stable emotions. Even when it sees the little spurred dragon "Potato Pancake" jumping around next to it, it just wags its tail without any agitation.

Moreover, they are brave and not afraid of unfamiliar environments, which is a blessing for less experienced drivers.

However, while the advantages are obvious, the disadvantages are also prominent.

Shire horses have an extremely large appetite, and one horse can eat more than ten kilograms of grass a day.

Fortunately, Nata has a warm climate, and the grasslands around the ranch are endless. The fresh and tender grass grows very lush, so there is no worry about supply.

Shao Yun thought to himself that at worst he could just let the two horses graze in the pasture at the doorstep. If that didn't work, he could just get some unused wheat straw from the fertile land, so he wouldn't have to worry about feed.

Shao Yun reached out and touched the Sharma's neck, feeling its docile temperament, then turned around and picked up the little crested dragon "Potato Pancake".

The little dragon flapped its short legs excitedly when it was picked up, and Shao Yun carefully placed it on the passenger seat of the carriage.

Everything was ready. Shao Yun had just sat in the driver's seat and reached out to hold the reins when he heard a soft "dong" sound behind him.

He looked back and saw that the mysterious female goat had jumped onto the carriage at the back of the carriage at some point and was standing steadily in the corner with all four hooves, looking as if it was a matter of course.

Shao Yun frowned, but didn't say much.

Anyway, this sheep kept haunting him. After taking a look, he no longer paid attention to the female goat in the carriage. He exerted a little force on his wrist, flicked the reins, and let out a light shout.

"drive!"

The two Shire horses immediately started to move forward, pulling the carriage slowly forward. The wheels made a "gurgling" sound and headed towards the Holy Flame Arena.

On the road, the carriage moved forward steadily, and the grass on both sides receded rapidly. Occasionally, early-rising Nata people could be seen, greeting Shao Yun in a friendly manner.

(The impact of high honors)

Shao Yun looked back at the female goat in the carriage. It had its eyes closed, looking as if it was resting, as if it had no interest in the surrounding scenery.

Recalling the conversation in his dream last night, Shao Yun asked, "What exactly did you mean by what you said in my dream last night?"

"What do you mean by Mavica hiding details and asking me to be careful about the wedding? You have to make it clear, right?"

The goat slowly opened her eyes, still kneeling in the carriage, and explained calmly, "It's nothing complicated, it means exactly what it says."

"When Mavica told you about Alice, she didn't tell you everything."

"As for the wedding... Your enemies won't rest easy just because you're getting married. Instead, they'll see this as a good opportunity to strike. It's always better to be cautious."

……

After receiving the ambiguous reminder from the mother goat, Shao Yun did not ask any more questions and went to buy daily necessities first.

Then, he continued to hold the reins, looked forward, and concentrated on driving the freight carriage towards the Holy Flame Arena.

As the distance gradually shortened, the scene ahead became more and more lively.

The iconic circular building of the Olympic Flame Arena came into view, and the number of pedestrians on the surrounding streets gradually increased, mostly tribesmen wearing traditional Nata costumes and adventurers in green clothes.

Shao Yun's two pure black Shire horses became the most eye-catching at this moment.

In Nata, horses are creatures that only exist in books. Tall and strong horses like Shire horses are almost never seen in person.

(Monds: What a pity the Grand Commander took the horse away...)

Although Shao Yun's Sharma was a little smaller than the common ceratops in Nata, its nearly two-meter-high shoulders and neck and tight muscle lines still attracted the attention of all passers-by.

Many Nata people stopped and looked at the carriage curiously.

Shao Yun skillfully controlled the reins, slowly moving through the crowd, and finally stopped the carriage next to the Holy Flame Arena.

The two Shire horses stopped meekly, only wagging their tails occasionally.

Shao Yun jumped off the carriage and told the female goat to keep a close eye on the carriage to prevent anyone from stealing it.

The female goat bleated in response to Shao Yun.

Then, Shao Yun took the little crested dragon "Potato Pancake" from the passenger seat and walked into the Chuwen Market in the Holy Fire Arena with his own little dragon.

At the Chuwen Market in the Holy Flame Arena, Shao Yun agreed with Mr. "Qinteli" from the Wolu State and Mr. "Bunama" from the Yanmizhu about what he wanted to buy.

It's nothing more than flour, vegetables, fruits, some fresh meat, and meats with a long shelf life at room temperature such as ham and sausage...

However, Shao Yun also discovered a small problem during the procurement.

After walking around the entire Chu Wen Market, I found that there was not a single stall selling rice.

Fortunately, although Shen He is from Liyue, she gives the impression that she particularly likes noodles. Making some hand-rolled noodles with the purchased flour should suit her taste, so it’s not a big deal.

After paying for the ingredients, Shao Yun looked at the food piled up like a small mountain and waved to call a few "freelancers" who were waiting for work near the Holy Fire Arena.

Most of these people are adventurers looking for temporary work or tribesmen who come to the Holy Fire Arena to make a living. As long as they are paid some transportation fees, they are willing to help run errands.

Shao Yun paid some Mora as transportation fee, and several people immediately and skillfully sorted the ingredients and loaded them onto the carriage.

Flour and meat are placed at the innermost part of the carriage, while vegetables and fruits are placed on the outer layer to prevent damage from bumps.

……

Watching the freelancers skillfully loading the food onto the carriage, Shao Yun estimated that it would take some time to complete, so he decided to take advantage of this break to take his little dragon "Potato Pancake" to the Holy Fire Arena's office.

He kept in mind the reminder from the goat in his dream and wanted to find Mavica to confirm the matter about Alice.

"Potato Pancake, come with me and I'll take you to see Mavica." Shao Yun rubbed Xiaolong's head, and the little guy immediately followed him excitedly, his short legs clacking as he followed him.

Inside the office, Mavica was still wearing her signature black leather motorcycle jacket, outlining her clean lines, with her long fiery red hair casually draped over her shoulders.

At this moment, she was planning to deal with today's work...

However, the empty desk clearly proves one thing: today is a day without work and I can have free time.

"Today... is still a calm day," Mawei muttered softly. "Should I go to the training ground to practice my two-handed sword, or go for a run in the nearby mountains?"

Just as she was thinking about today's itinerary, a familiar sound of footsteps accompanied by the little dragon's soft "woof" came.

"Ms. Mavica, are you busy now?"

Mavica looked up and saw Shao Yun walking into the hall with the little ridge dragon "Potato Pancake". She immediately restrained her vacant expression, and a subtle and intriguing tenderness flashed in her eyes.

But this emotion was fleeting. Mavica quickly regained her usual composure and responded, "Oh, Mr. Shao Yun, you're here. I'm not busy. What can I do for you?"

Shao Yun gestured to Xiaolong to stroll around the hall.

Anyway, the meeting place was spacious and there were no dangerous items. Potato Pancake curiously circled the pillar twice, then lay down obediently in the corner, looking at the two of them with his round eyes.

Shao Yun walked up to Mavica and said straight to the point, "It's about Alice."

As soon as I heard the word "Alice", the humiliation of being toyed with and the anger of being used as a pawn a while ago instantly flooded my heart.

On the surface, that woman was open-hearted and helping him solve his problems, but she turned around and wanted to use this relationship to destroy the stability of Shao Yun's family.

If Alice hadn't trapped her and ran away so fast, she would have cut her into pieces to relieve her hatred!

When she heard Shao Yun mention Alice, Mavica's aura instantly became fierce, and her eyes were burning with fighting spirit.

"Her whereabouts are known?!"

Shao Yun looked at Mavica, who was on edge and eager to fight Alice, and quickly waved his hand and said soothingly:

"Don't get excited. We don't know her exact whereabouts yet. I'm worried that she might take the opportunity to cause trouble at the wedding..."

Before Shao Yun could finish his words, Mavica instantly understood his concerns.

She took a deep breath and assured firmly: "Don't worry, Mr. Shao Yun, no one will mess up your wedding!"

"If Alice dares to come, I will tear this ignorant fellow into pieces!"

As soon as the voice fell, the little ridge dragon "Potato Pancake" in the corner seemed to sense the tense atmosphere in the air. It let out a soft "woof" and walked over, rubbing Mavica's trouser leg with its little head.

Mavica looked down at the docile appearance of the little dragon, her eyes relaxed a little, she reached out and gently touched its head, then raised her eyes to look at Shao Yun.

"Just focus on preparing for the wedding. Leave the matters concerning Alice to me."

Shao Yun nodded and calculated the time. The ingredients should have been moved and it was time to go back.

"I'll go back first. The ingredients have been packed. Thank you very much."

"No problem, just be careful on the road." Mavica nodded in agreement and watched Shao Yun and Xiaolong turn around and walk out of the office.

When the two figures disappeared at the door, the gentleness on her face instantly faded.

"Miss Alice, I hope you are a smart person!"
