Chapter 823 Some Secrets of the Eye of God
Early in the morning, Nata, the discussion place in the Holy Flame Arena.
Shao Yun woke up in the room of the House of Burnout and felt an inexplicable irritation, as if something was pressing on his chest, making it hard for him to breathe.
He walked to the basin and washed his face with cold water, dispelling the disturbing feeling of irritation, which provided some relief.
Perhaps it was just as Ying said, the mysterious connection between father and daughter made him feel inexplicably anxious.
Of course, it could also be because Ying had not been by his side... or there could be some other unknown factors at work that he was not aware of...
After taking a few breaths, Shao Yun immediately rushed to the meeting place and greeted Mavica, who had just woken up, "Good morning, how is your research going?"
Mavica smiled and responded, "Good morning, Mr. Shao Yun, you look very energetic today. How was your rest yesterday?"
Shao Yun shook his head, patted his head, and said helplessly: "I didn't sleep well. I always felt a strange feeling of anxiety and irritability."
At this time, Xitlari came over yawning and said in a teasing tone: "You are right to be anxious, it's because you used your strange 'Eye of God'."
Shao Yun cast his gaze towards Xitlari and asked with concern: "Ah? Is there any progress?"
Xitrali nodded slightly. She took out the "Eye of God" with a skull carving from her pocket and said with a hint of excitement:
"Yes, there has been a little progress. Just as the Wind God said, this 'Eye of God' is not the traditional one. It contains a power similar to elemental force, but it is different from the power of the abyss."
"Moreover, combined with the stories I have read from you, I speculate that every time you use the power of this 'Eye of God', your heart will be affected in some way..."
"To put it more simply, after using it, you will have a strong urge to release the anger inside you. You can refer to Chaska's situation."
"When Chaska was young, she was affected by the Abyss and always had to resort to violence to solve problems. Your situation is similar to hers."
Shao Yun took the "Eye of God" handed to him by Xitlari, observed it carefully, and still hung it around his waist.
"Okay, I see. Are there any other issues that require my attention?"
Xitlari shrugged lightly, and said in a relaxed tone: "Generally speaking, apart from the possible impact on your mental state, there will be basically no other problems."
"Of course, if you can give me some more time, I might be able to explore more secrets from this 'Eye of God'."
Shao Yun looked at Xitlal's eyes full of curiosity and inquiry, and said firmly: "Don't even think about it! This matter of the 'Eye of God' ends here."
Mavica then suggested in a friendly way: "By the way, Shao Yun, if you want to learn how to better control your emotions, I suggest you go to Huayu Club to find Chaska."
"Although she may not be able to control her emotions all the time..."
"But if you look at how crazy her behavior was as a child, you'll see that she has made great progress."
Faced with Mavica's kindness, Shao Yun also agreed casually and said, "Okay, if I have time, I will go and have a look."
The system pops up a prompt.
[You may want to talk to Chaska. Note: This is not a mandatory task, just a reminder...]
Seeing that her mission was over, Sitrali turned to Mavica and submitted her resignation.
"Lord Kagami, now that my work is done, I will leave now. As for the members of the Smoky Mystery Master who were kidnapped by the Fatui, I feel I need to go and find out for myself."
Shao Yun saw that the exploration of his "Eye of God" had come to an end, so he asked Mavica if there was anything else she needed his help with.
"Now, is there anything else I can help you with?"
Mavica was very surprised to see that Mr. Shao Yun was willing to lend a hand and help her deal with the affairs.
You just came back from the Kingdom of Night God yesterday, don't you want to rest? You can't use a donkey like this!
"Ah? Mr. Shao Yun, I haven't actually thought it through yet. Perhaps you could go to the Adventurer's Association to have a look? There might be a lot of commissions waiting to be completed there..."
When Shao Yun heard that he was going to the Adventurer's Association, he shook his head subconsciously. He was not here to accept the commission, he was here to help save Nata!
Then, he offered a suggestion, saying: "How about I go find the Fatui's executive officer, 'Captain'?"
When Mavica heard that Shao Yun wanted to find the Fatui, she couldn't help but feel worried.
This was not because she doubted Shao Yun's ability. The main problem was that Kinich had already gone ahead to deal with the relevant matters. If Shao Yun was asked to go as well, it would be a waste of resources.
It's such a waste to use a butcher knife to kill a chicken...
"You don't have to worry about the Fatui. Kinich is already in charge of this work. Besides, Nata is a big place. You just came here not long ago and you are not very familiar with it yet."
Shao Yun felt sorry for Mavica when he saw that there was no task assigned to him. He said seriously, "I can't just sit there doing nothing. Is there any work you can give me?"
"I'm here to help. If not now, when?"
When Mavica heard Shao Yun mention the word "use" again, she took a deep breath, showed great patience, and gently persuaded:
"I've said before that I hope we can get along in an equal and cooperative way, rather than seeing ourselves as tools to solve problems, is that okay?"
Mavica feels quite helpless now. When getting along with Shao Yun, she always feels a sense of discomfort and alienation.
Shao Yun noticed that Mavica felt uncomfortable because of what he said, and responded lightly: "Don't pay too much attention to these insignificant things..."
Just when the atmosphere was becoming a little awkward, Sitrali showed up in time to smooth things over.
"In that case, Mr. Shao Yun, can you do me a small favor?"
Shao Yun asked, "What help?"
Xitlari explained in detail: "It's the mysterious smoke master who helped the Fatui executive officer 'Captain' two days ago. Can you accompany me to investigate this person's background?"
When Shao Yun heard that there was a new task, he turned to Mavica for advice, hoping to get her consent.
"Okay, if you have no objection, Mavica."
Mavica saw Shao Yun looking at her with an inquiring look, asking for her opinion. Naturally, she had no objection, and it was impossible for her to raise any objection.
"Of course I have no objection, Xitela Li. Please take good care of Mr. Shao Yun."
Xitlari put her hands on her hips, looking confident, and assured: "Okay, don't worry!"
Then, Xitlalli waved to Shao Yun, indicating that he should follow her.
"Mr. Shao Yun, come on, don't worry, I won't let your efforts be in vain."
……
In the area of the Smoke Master, the obsidian totem pole.
When some of the priests of Lord Yanmi saw Sitrali coming, their reactions were like sheep seeing a wolf, they panicked and whispered to each other.
"Oh no! Grandma is coming..."
"It's over, it's over, some unfortunate person is going to suffer this time!"
Shao Yun observed the group of smoke-riddled chief priests who seemed very nervous and frightened. He turned to Xitlal and asked a question.
"Why are these people so scared of you? Do they all owe you money?"
The corners of Xitlari's mouth twitched twice in embarrassment.
Yes, when she was drunk, she always liked to say that the years were dedicated to the little wine glass and nine out of thirteen of the money borrowed were returned, but it did not mean that she really lent money.
"What do you mean by owing money? Grandma, my reputation is well-known. It is understandable that these young priests of the Lord of Smoke are afraid of me."
Young priest? The one with the beard... No, I have a beard now too...
Afterwards, Xitlal led Shao Yun to the location of the leader of the Smoke Riddle Lords, "Bilan".
"Bilan, how have you been lately?" Sitrali asked.
Bilan was sitting cross-legged on a beautifully decorated round carpet. He responded in a respectful tone: "Grandma, it's been a long time since we last met. What brings you here today?"
Even though Pilan was sitting on the ground, anyone who was not blind could tell at a glance that Pilan was too tall. Even when he was sitting, he was half a head taller than Shao Yun who was standing...
Of course, it could also be because of the Dark Dragon-style hat he was wearing... with two pointed tips on top...
(Bilan: Then let me ask you...)
Shao Yun watched Bilan intently. He felt the same shock Ying had felt when she saw him for the first time.
Mr. Bilan, you are so fucking tall!
"This, how is this possible...you, you..." Shao Yun was so shocked by Bilan's height that his speech became incoherent.
It is no exaggeration to say that Shao Yun can be described as a little bird in front of him.
Is this Pilan related to the giant in the fairy tale who guards the hen that lays golden eggs?
Bilan looked at Shao Yun, who was surprised, and explained calmly: "I have had a different body shape since I was born, please don't be surprised."
Shao Yun shook his head gently, took a deep breath, and then said in a calmer tone:
"Indeed, the world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things. We should learn to keep a calm mind and face all kinds of strange things..."
