Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat
Chapter 399: Dina Zedai's Story
Dishia ordered a few signature dishes of the Lamberton Tavern, and then signaled Lambert to start preparing.
Shao Yun turned around and said to Miss Dina Zedai who was sitting next to him: "Okay, Miss Dina Zedai, let's continue the conversation that was interrupted just now."
Shao Yun meant that Dina Zedai promised Shao Yun to tell Ying and Paimon about the little Lucky Grass King.
After hearing Shao Yun's words, Dina Zedai recalled what happened before, and quickly nodded in agreement, saying with a hint of apology: "Oh, I'm so sorry, I ran a little too fast, now we can continue."
Shao Yun continued with the unfinished topic, "The two of them went to Weimo Manor for adventure today, but they are expected to come back at dinner time, so we can plan to have dinner here..."
At this point, Shao Yun pointed to the Lambotton Tavern where they were, and continued, "In the Lambotton Tavern, you can tell them the story about the Little Auspicious Grass King."
After hearing Shao Yun's suggestion, Dina Zedai pondered for a moment and felt that this proposal was good and there was still enough time, so she readily agreed.
"Okay, that's settled. We'll meet at the Lumberton Tavern for dinner then."
Next, there is still some time before the food is served.
Shao Yun seized the opportunity and asked Dina Zedai, who was sitting opposite him, about her demonic scale disease.
"I have always had a question in my mind, and I would like to take this opportunity to ask you. Why are you still so energetic and full of vitality even though you are suffering from the magic scale disease?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a hint of imperceptible sadness flashed across Dina Zedai's smiling face, but it was quickly replaced by a look of relief.
She sighed softly and responded, "Well, this matter is really a long story..."
After a brief pause to gather her thoughts, Dina Zedai recalled her own experience in battling the demonic scale disease.
"It all started with the sudden and unprecedented outbreak of the dead zone a few months ago."
Having said that, Dina Zedai's eyes became a little serious.
At this moment, Dixia on the side couldn't hold back her inner thoughts and interrupted, "I have the right to speak on this topic! Whether it was the horrific scene when the dead zone erupted or the young lady's miraculous recovery, I was an eyewitness to it!"
Seeing this, Shao Yun immediately acted very politely and said with a smile: "In that case, can you tell me what happened? Of course, if it's convenient."
Dixia took the lead. She began to recall that special day and described the scene in detail to Shao Yun.
"Let me think about it. That day, I was pushing my young lady and taking a leisurely walk in the suburbs of Xumi City."
When Shao Yun heard Dixia mention "pushing" Dina Zedai for a walk, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Pushing?"
Dina Zedai immediately spoke up and answered Shao Yun's questions in detail.
"At that time, my magic scale disease was already very serious. I couldn't take care of my daily life. Even eating became a problem, not to mention walking. I could only rely on a wheelchair to move around."
"At that time, I really felt that my life was coming to an end, and my last wish was to be able to go out, even if it was just to take a look at the scenery at sunset."
As soon as Dina Zedai finished speaking, Dishia took over the topic and continued the story.
"When I pushed my young lady to the outskirts of Xumi City, we had just begun to enjoy the scenery. In less than half an hour, suddenly, the Death Zone appeared without any warning."
Dixia still feels terrified when she recalls the scene in the dead zone at that time.
"I swear, from the time I was born until now, I have never seen such a horrific dead zone. The trees are withering rapidly, and creatures are constantly dying. The scene is like the end of the world."
"I immediately hugged the young lady and ran desperately towards Xumi City, but the speed at which the Death Zone spread was far beyond our imagination, and we were soon trapped in it. Being trapped in the Death Zone is countless times more dangerous than being trapped in the quicksand of the desert!"
Dina Zedai frowned slightly, and the thrilling scene at that time kept flashing back in her mind.
"That's right. Just when Dixia and I thought we were doomed, a figure suddenly appeared and saved us like a ray of light in the darkness." As she spoke, she couldn't help but smile with relief as if she had survived a calamity.
However, when Shao Yun heard the three words "mysterious man", his heart instantly rose to his throat.
You know, the last person who encountered a similar situation was "Ke Lai"! How did she get better? I know it myself.
Thinking of this, Shao Yun's face became solemn.
"A mysterious person came to the rescue?"
Before Dina Zedai could answer, Dixia on the side had already taken the lead in describing the appearance of the mysterious man to Shao Yun.
"Well, that gentleman has a mustache and wears a tall black hat. He looks quite gentlemanly. But..."
At this point, Dixia paused, then corrected, "Strictly speaking, it wasn't as simple as him saving us. The situation at the time was that the young lady, the stranger, and I were trapped in the dead zone together."
As Shao Yun listened to Di Xia's narration, his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally died.
Because based on these characteristics, he could be sure that this so-called mysterious man was the devil!
As expected, as long as it is profitable, this devil is really willing to help. This pledge of allegiance is really thoughtful, and he picked out the two most suitable gifts right away.
Dina Zedai continued to describe the thrilling scene in vivid detail.
"Just when Dishia and I felt that our lives were hanging by a thread and we were about to die with that mysterious guy, suddenly, the man asked us, 'If you can pray to the gods for help, then would you choose to ask for help from the benevolent Great Kindness Tree King or the Small Auspicious Grass King?'"
After hearing this, Shao Yun understood why Dina Zedai's demonic scale disease was "cured".
But he still played along and asked, "So, how did you answer?"
Dina Zedai took a deep breath, calmed herself, and then described it in a passionate tone: "At that moment, although my body was extremely weak and even breathing became difficult, I still tried my best to hold up the last bit of strength and shouted without hesitation: 'Of course it's the little lucky grass king!'"
"Then, I used all my strength and shouted at the top of my lungs: 'Little King of Auspicious Grass, help me!' Then a miracle happened, and Dixia and I were miraculously rescued!"
After recounting this experience, Dina Zedai was so excited that she could hardly contain herself.
Her hands were involuntarily clasped together, and her face revealed an expression of deep intoxication.
Seeing this, Dixia, who was standing by, couldn't help but chuckle.
She shook her head gently, and smiled as she reminded her young lady: "Young lady, please don't make this story sound so magical."
"In fact, there was no miracle. It was clearly the timely help of that kind-hearted man with a mustache that saved us from danger."
"But then again, the guy who saved us was really amazing. I remember that he opened his hands and directly split the dead zone that trapped us into a safe road leading directly to Xumi City. It was just like a fairy tale."
"But I think that person must have used elemental power to clear a path out of the dead zone."
When Shao Yun heard this, he realized that the devil was really "sparing no effort" to help Nashida, the "shepherd", take care of her flock (people who believe in her), and it was like a "Moses parting the sea".
"Have you told anyone else about this?" Shao Yun continued to ask, because Dina Zedai regarded the fact that the two of them were saved by the devil as the manifestation of the little auspicious grass king.
As a loyal believer, she will definitely publicize it.
Dina Zedai nodded repeatedly and replied, "Yes, we told this matter to the religious officer who was maintaining order in Xumi City at the time."
However, Dina Zedai sighed and said with a somewhat disappointed tone, "But those people didn't believe us. They thought we were affected by the dead zone and had cognitive problems, so they took us directly to the Health Home."
Seeing that Dina Zedai was in a state of loss again, Dixia kindly consoled her, "But I think the reason why those people in the Order of the Church don't believe it is because you have been emphasizing that it was the miracle of the Little Lucky Grass King that helped us out of the predicament. The Order of the Church doesn't like the Little Lucky Grass King at all now."
Dina Zedai argued, "When we were in danger, the mysterious man asked us whether we should ask the Little Auspicious Grass King or the Great Kindness Tree King for help. I answered that it was the Little Auspicious Grass King, and he saved us. There must be a connection."
Dixia sighed again and said, "Miss, although it may sound unpleasant, even if the Little Auspicious Grass King really appeared and saved us, those guys in the Order Institute would not believe it. Don't let this make you sick."
Shao Yun also followed Dixia to persuade Dina Zedai, and said gently: "People are always willing to believe what they want to believe, so there is really no need to be angry about it."
What's more, this is really not the appearance of Nashida.
When Di Xia heard Shao Yun's philosophical words, she immediately agreed.
"Indeed, that's very well said. I think if we claim that this is a miracle of the Great Compassionate Tree King, the scholars of the Order will definitely ask us for details without any hesitation."
Despite this, Dina Zedai still stood up for Nashida. She said indignantly: "Lord Little Auspicious Grass King saved us when the dead zone erupted, but not many people are willing to believe this. This is really very infuriating."
Shao Yun looked at Dina Zedai who was still sulking, and thought: Stop arguing, Dina Zedai, the person who truly saved you was neither the deceased Great Kindness Tree King nor the Little Auspicious Grass King "Nashida", but a demon!
But Shao Yun did not tell the truth, because he knew it was difficult to explain, so he quickly changed the subject.
"We seem to have strayed off topic, Miss Dina Zedai. Let's continue with what happened next."
Dina Zedai came to her senses and began to tell the story of how she and Dishiya were taken to the Health Home by people from the Ministry of Education.
"Oh, that's right... At that time, because Dishia and I were trapped in the dead zone for a period of time, we had to receive long-term observation and treatment in the Health Home."
Having said that, Dina Zedai paused.
"It was probably the second night we lived in the Health Home... I was half asleep and just felt like going to the bathroom. Just then, something magical happened! I got out of bed without any hindrance, and I didn't feel the pain and discomfort brought by the magic scale disease at all. I felt so relaxed, as if I had never been sick."
Dishia on the side nodded, confirming this.
"Yes, that night when I saw you were able to get out of bed on your own, I was really shocked!
Shao Yun listened to the two people's narration quietly, frowning slightly, as if thinking about something.
After they finished speaking, he pursed his lips and asked, "So, Dina Zedai, you just 'recovered' inexplicably? There was no sign beforehand?"
"During this time, has nothing strange or unusual happened?"
For example, who sent a picture frame or something.
Faced with Shao Yun's question, Dina Zedai thought about it and expressed her current feelings.
"Nothing special! It just happened so suddenly that even I couldn't believe it."
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to Dixia's mind, and she quickly added: "Wait, Miss, have you forgotten the inexplicable painting that the master once received?"
When Dina Zedai heard Dishia mention the painting, she was surprised at first and wanted to say something, but then she shook her head and answered with a hint of confusion: "But, is there any connection between the painting and the magic scale disease?"
Hearing Dina Zedai's question, Dixia also felt that her idea seemed a bit far-fetched. She muttered to herself: "Indeed, if painting can really cure magic scale disease, then wouldn't all the scholars in the Order Academy have to learn painting?"
Shao Yun thought, if it was an ordinary painting, that would definitely be impossible.
But if the portrait was the one Colet had obtained, the one depicting the devil, then the situation might be completely different!
At this moment, Lambad came over with the food ordered by Dishia. He said as he walked over: "The food you ordered is ready. Eat it while it's hot."
Looking at the delicious food on the table, Dixia temporarily put aside the topic of the inexplicable oil painting. She called everyone and said, "Don't think too much. Let's eat first. Miss, try this."
……
After finishing her meal, Dixia leaned back in her chair comfortably, with a satisfied smile on her face. She took a deep breath and said in an approving tone, "Lambad's cooking skills are really amazing."
Meanwhile, Dina Zedai sat in a chair in a relaxed manner and suggested where to go next.
"Then next, can you accompany me to the Grand Bazaar?"
While making the invitation, she also turned around and looked at Shao Yun.
Shao Yun seemed quite indifferent to this suggestion. He thought to himself that since Ying and Paimeng were currently in Vimo Manor and did not need his help, it would not be a bad idea to go shopping in the Grand Bazaar. So he nodded in agreement.
"No problem, it's nice to go to the Grand Bazaar."
Dixia had no objection to this plan, but she still reminded cautiously: "You can go, but Miss, haven't we already promised to go home and tell the master and the mistress first? After all, they are still waiting for you at home."
When Dina Zedai heard that she had to go home to tell her parents that she was safe, she slapped her forehead.
"Oh, I almost forgot about this important matter. Let me report my safety to my parents before going to the Grand Bazaar!"
