Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 379: 1 “Ordinary” Picture Frame?

Shao Yun remembered the task that Amber had assigned to him before. Seeing that the time was ripe, he took the initiative to talk to Cole.

"Are you Ke Lai?" Shao Yun asked.

Ke Lai seemed a little nervous when he saw Shao Yun took the initiative to talk to him, but he still replied: "Yes, I am Ke Lai, what can I do for you?"

Shao Yun took out a letter from his Eastern Legend backpack, handed it to Cole, and said, "This is the letter that Amber asked me to pass on to you..."

When Cole heard the name "Amber", her spirits immediately perked up. She quickly moved to Shao Yun's side and couldn't wait to ask questions.

"Is this really the letter from Amber? Are you sure? It's not a duplicate name!"

Shao Yun looked at Ke Lai who was approaching him, and his heart couldn't help but tighten slightly. He quickly took two steps back, putting some distance between himself and Ke Lai, and at the same time stretched out a hand, signaling her not to get excited.

"Don't get excited, Cole. Amber heard that Xumi's demonic scale disease has become more serious recently. She is particularly worried about you, so she asked me to bring you a bottle of potion."

After saying that, Shao Yun took out the potion that Amber had given him and handed it and the letter to Cole.

A hint of surprise flashed in Kelai's eyes. She looked at Shao Yun gratefully and thanked him repeatedly.

"thanks, thanks."

Then she couldn't wait to open the envelope and see what Amber said in the letter.

However, when her eyes fell on Shao Yun, she quickly turned around and faced away from Shao Yun, fearing that Shao Yun would see the letter Amber wrote to her.

Then she carefully opened the letter and unfolded the paper.

Although Cole didn't know many words, she still tried hard to decipher the contents of the letter, and gradually a smile appeared on her face.

Seeing that Amber cared about him so much, Cole felt warm in his heart.

After reading the letter, Cole held it tightly against his chest, closed his eyes, and muttered to himself, "Amber..."

At this moment, Shao Yun suddenly felt a faint citrus scent in the air, the smell was vague.

Where did the citrus smell come from? Could it be the smell of the potion? However, the potion was clearly blue, and it didn't look like it had citrus in it at all!

Shao Yun coughed twice and reminded him in a gentle tone: "Ahem, um, by the way, I'm a little curious about the conversation between you and Tinari just now. Can you share it with me?"

After hearing this, Ke Lai came back to his senses, turned around, looked at Shao Yun with a hint of surprise, and asked in confusion: "Ah! What are you sharing?"

While saying this, Cole subconsciously hid the letter in his hand behind him.

When Shao Yun saw this scene, he immediately understood Cole's misunderstanding and quickly explained: "No, I don't want to read your letter. I'm just curious about the outbreak of the dead zone you just mentioned and the growth of the Xumi Demon Scale Disease mentioned by Amber..."

Hearing that Shao Yun didn't want to read Amber's letter to him, Cole breathed a sigh of relief, put the letter in his pocket, and began to recall what happened a few months ago.

"Ah, about three or four months ago, the death zone phenomenon in Xumi suddenly broke out, and even the city of Hua was almost eroded by the death zone."

"Later, I heard from Master that not only the city walls were transformed, but 70% of the entire Xumi was eroded by the sudden death zone."

At this point, Kelai let out a long sigh of relief, a look of relief on his face, and said thankfully: "But fortunately, the disaster of the dead zone came and went quickly, and in the end, the city was not eroded by the dead zone."

"The only problem is that the problem of Demon Scale Disease started to gradually become more serious after that."

Shao Yun frowned slightly, and then asked: "Tinari just said that you almost died. What happened?"

Cole closed his eyes and carefully recalled the thrilling scene.

"Oh, at that time, the Death Zone was flooding everywhere near the Huacheng Castle. I watched everyone rush into the terrible Death Zone without hesitation to rescue those trapped."

"I was very anxious and didn't care that I was suffering from the magic scale disease. I rushed in to save people without thinking."

"I remember that before I fell unconscious, I was in a dead zone filled with a strange aura, and I tried my best to save a Fontaine man."

When Shao Yun heard that Cole had rescued a Fontaine man in the Dead Zone, he suddenly felt a strong curiosity in his heart.

"Wait a minute, a Fontaine?"

At this time, Cole was a little unsure. After all, the situation was urgent and she did not have time to carefully see the man's full appearance. She just vaguely felt that the last person she rescued seemed to be a Fontaine man.

So, she tried to describe the man's appearance to Shao Yun in detail. "I'm not too sure, but I remember that he was wearing a very unique black top hat, a black suit with a white lining..."

As she spoke, she tried to recall more details about the mysterious Fontaine man.

Suddenly, Cole suddenly remembered the mustache on the man's upper lip. This mustache was deeply imprinted in Cole's memory.

"Oh, yes, he has a moustache on his upper lip, which is really unique, so I think he is from Fontaine."

As he spoke, Cole unconsciously stroked his upper lip with his fingers, trying to recreate the style of the man's beard. He looked extremely serious and focused.

After hearing Cole's description, Shao Yun's originally calm face turned pale in an instant and cold sweat broke out from his back.

How could that be the Fontaine man? That was clearly the horrible demon!

If all the people in Fontaine were that devil, then Funina would have run away with the bucket long ago!

Even if she didn't choose to run away, when all the Fontaine people dissolved into the sea at that horrible moment, what Funina showed at this moment was definitely not crying, but a kind of heartfelt gratitude, gratitude that she was lucky enough to survive from the devil's hands.

However, Cole didn't notice the terrified expression on Shao Yun's face at this moment, and continued to narrate how he rescued the so-called "Fontaine Man".

“I remember seeing him standing alone in that eerie dead zone, and I also observed that he didn’t have the Eye of God. So I thought he must have been trapped there accidentally.

"So, I rushed over, grabbed his hand, and ran towards the city with all my strength. After I successfully rescued him from the dead zone, I suddenly lost consciousness..."

In fact, Shao Yun was relieved to hear this, because Cole did not have any communication with the devil.

As for why the demon appeared in the dead zone, it was probably because he was admiring the scene of death.

However, Cole's next words frightened Shao Yun to the point of being at a loss.

Cole suddenly clapped his hands and said in surprise: "Oh, there is one thing I haven't told you! When I was about to faint, I vaguely felt something being stuffed into my hand."

"I also vaguely heard something, it seemed like it was saying that this thing was given to you as a reward."

"When I woke up, I found myself lying on my bed. My master was taking care of me. My body was still wrapped in bandages, but I was holding a small picture frame tightly in my hand."

"According to my master, I was on the verge of death, but my hands were tightly grasping the small picture frame."

Cole paused and continued, "Master originally thought that I would need to stay in bed for at least half a year, but unexpectedly, I fully recovered the next day, and even the symptoms of the demonic scale disease were alleviated a lot."

As he spoke, Cole lowered his head and looked at the disturbing symptoms of the magic scale disease on his arms. He said with regret, "If these annoying symptoms were not still lingering on my skin, I would even think that my magic scale disease has been completely cured."

After Shao Yun heard these words, plague, picture frame, recovery?

When he put these words together, the chilling scene immediately emerged in his mind - the great plague in Armadillo Town.

Shao Yun felt uneasy, and then asked in a slightly awkward manner: "Where is the picture frame? I want to see it with my own eyes."

Pointing outside the house, Cole replied, "Many people who have received help from rangers have sent gifts to express their gratitude. Usually, we return these gifts to them."

"However, I was unable to find the mysterious Fontaine man this time, so I can only put the frame on my desk for the time being."

Hearing that the picture frame was actually in Cole's room, Shao Yun immediately became serious. He turned to Paimeng and said, "Paimeng, please help me take care of Ying first. I need to confirm something!"

Paimeng saw Shao Yun's serious expression and immediately nodded and responded, "Okay, no problem."

Shao Yun then turned around and said to Ke Lai nervously, "Kele, do you mind if I take a look at that picture frame?"

Cole nodded in agreement and said, "Of course no problem, I'll take you there right away."

……

Ke Lai took Shao Yun to her tree house and pulled open the leaf curtain.

Cole stretched out his finger and gently pointed at the corner of the table.

“There’s the frame.”

Cole placed the small picture frame on the table. The wooden edges of the frame had some signs of wear and tear, and it was obvious that the frame had been there for a long time.

Shao Yun looked at the photo of the man in the flattering hat. The guy in the photo was showing the most primitive fear. He didn't need to make any expression, but Shao Yun couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

"too crazy……"
