Chapter 831 Capitano: Allies are surprised!
On a quiet night, on the east side of the Holy Fire Arena, at a higher point, the moonlight sprinkled on the land.
Shao Yun took the designated authorization and came to this place according to the instructions.
However, he had never expected that it was Olorun who greeted him! Shouldn't he have been taken back to the main tribe of Yanmi by Xitellali?
When Ou Luolun saw Shao Yun coming, he took the initiative to greet him.
"Good evening. Nice to see you here."
Shao Yun narrowed his eyes, looked at Oluoren carefully, and then asked in confusion: "Oluoren? Why are you here? According to the plan, shouldn't you have returned to the Yanmi main tribe by now?"
Olorun explained: "I told my grandmother that I need to stay in the House of Ennui for two days, and I will go back after my injuries are fully recovered."
After listening to Ou Luolun's explanation, Shao Yun didn't care too much. He just nodded casually and asked, "Well, since you are not the one who asked me to come, then who is it?"
O'Loren narrowed his eyes and used the Smoke Master's technique to carefully observe behind Shao Yun.
After observing for a while, Oluoren confirmed that no one was following Shao Yun, so he said to the stone beside him: "No one is following. Now, it's your turn."
After being reminded by Olorun, the first "Captain" of the Fatui executive officers, Capitano, quietly walked out from behind the stone.
He walked in front of Shao Yun with an upright posture and steady steps, neither humble nor arrogant.
After Capitano stood still, he gave Shao Yun a standard Kanreya military salute.
"I'm sorry it took me so long to see you." Capitano's voice was low and magnetic, giving people a calm feeling just like his appearance.
"I wanted to inform you in a more covert way, but something unexpected happened. It seems you have noticed something is wrong."
Shao Yun watched Capitano walk out from behind the stone. There was no surprise on his face and his expression remained calm.
"Fools, are you here to kill me, or to negotiate? And..."
Changing the subject, Shao Yun showed the designated authorization letter and pointed to the signature.
"It's signed by my eldest brother-in-law's friend. What does this mean?"
Capitano looked at the designated commission in Shao Yun's hand and began to explain.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Capitano, at least that's my name for now."
Capitano's voice is still deep and magnetic.
"I am from Kanreya. Your eldest brother-in-law, Kong, was appointed as the crown prince when he was in Kanreya. I have some friendship with him."
"The last time I saw him, he was still traveling with Dain."
After listening to Capitano's self-introduction and the information he shared, Shao Yun looked at Capitano with interest and asked:
"So, if you round it up, you can be considered my eldest brother-in-law's fellow villager from Kanreya?"
Capitano nodded and had no objection to this statement.
Then he said in a sincere tone: "That's true, and that's why I don't want to become your enemy."
"But if we let things continue like this, there will be a battle between us."
Shao Yun relaxed a little after hearing this.
However, he did not completely let down his guard. Even if the person was his brother-in-law's fellow villager, he might not be completely unafraid.
Capitano saw Shao Yun's concerns, and he continued: "I understand your vigilance, but I just came to talk to you..."
Shao Yun thought for a moment, then said, "So, you asked me to meet here. In addition to reminiscing about the past and avoiding conflict, there must be something else, right?"
Capitano didn't drag his feet or get bogged down in meaningless small talk.
"You are right. You should have known Lady Kagami's plan. If she wants to defeat the Abyss and save Nata, she needs to wait for the two heroes to show up."
Shao Yun nodded, indeed, Mavica shared her plan to save Nata.
In other words, to save Nata, six heroes with awakened ancient names are needed.
However, what does this have to do with him?
"I don't care about Mavica's plan. I only care about what Mavica wants me to do." Shao Yun spoke his mind frankly.
Capitano expressed his concerns to Shao Yun in a sincere manner.
"You don't care, but I've been following the progress of the plan."
"Frankly speaking, the method she chose is very risky. Can a hero really appear? Is this power really enough to defeat the Abyss?"
"If anything goes wrong... Nata, and even the entire Teyvat, will be buried with him."
At this point, Capitano wanted to hear what Shao Yun thought about how Mavica could save Nata, so he asked:
"Do you think she really had no other options, or did she have another emergency plan that she never revealed?"
Shao Yun shook his head. He didn't care about these things and felt that this was not something he should care about.
After all, he is not the God of Fire and has no obligation to worry about these things. Strictly speaking, he can be compared to Xumi's "mercenary".
"I still say the same thing. I don't care about these..." Shao Yun's tone was still so flat.
However, Capitano's emotions became more and more intense, and he said loudly: "But I really care! If the current plan fails, it can also allow Nata to continue."
"Maybe she did, but this approach would come at a more painful price, so she considered it as a backup option."
"This thought may come from hesitation, fear, or naivety. But now Nata, there is no time to wait for her to wake up."
Just as Capitano was worried about Nata's fate, his tone suddenly softened.
"However, with the help of Mr. O'Loren, I recently discovered a secret source mechanism device."
"This device can reconstruct the earth veins, thereby completely destroying the abyss entrenched in the Kingdom of the Night God."
"This is undoubtedly a good opportunity to save Nata. However, this requires sacrificing Olorun's life..."
When Shao Yun heard that Capitano had the news to save Nata, why not use it directly?
"Since there is such a method, why don't you use it directly? And share it with me..."
Capitano replied righteously: "Because I do not have the power to make such a choice for the Nata people, and I cannot decide the life and death of others on my own."
"But when it's absolutely necessary, someone has to step up and make the difficult decision."
"I hope that my backup plan will never be used. I really hope that we can find other better solutions to save Nata from this disaster."
After speaking these heartfelt words, Capitano asked Shao Yun to keep the secret.
"I only tell you this alternative plan. I hope you won't tell Mavica. I hope and I believe you won't tell her about this."
Shao Yun nodded and agreed to Capitano's request to keep the secret.
Then, he summarized the current situation in his mind and said, "In short, you want to talk to the God of Fire. Do you want me to act as a matchmaker and have a frank conversation?"
Capitano nodded. This was indeed what he had to do at this stage, to dispel the misunderstandings caused by a series of coincidences.
"Yes."
Shao Yun did not refuse Capitano's request for matchmaking and readily agreed: "No problem, wait for the letter tomorrow."
Seeing that Shao Yun had agreed to his request generously, Capitano did not waste any time and directly gave the place for the next meeting.
"Okay! Then, we'll meet on the plateau 'Quarry Top' on the east side of the Hanging Woodman. I'll be waiting there."
……
After Shao Yun and Capitano finished their business, he took out a can of milk powder from behind him, and then his tone became relaxed, not as harsh as before.
Capitano handed the can of milk powder to Shao Yun and said in a gentle tone: "Okay, we have finished discussing business matters, now we can talk about personal matters."
"This is my gift to you. Congratulations on becoming a father! I hope Alechino doesn't mind you sharing her title."
Shao Yun looked at the can of milk powder and thought of his daughter… However, he did not show his emotions. He simply thanked Capitano but did not take the can.
Seeing that Shao Yun did not take the milk powder can, Capitano thought that he disliked the gift he gave as being too monotonous, and continued:
"I know that babies at this age need a can of milk powder every three days..."
"My gift here may seem a little monotonous, but it is the most suitable thing I can find for you. I hope you like it."
Shao Yun looked at the can of milk powder in his hand, feeling a mixture of emotions.
Capitano was truly happy for him, which was why he prepared this most practical gift.
However, Shao Yun did not accept the gift.
He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Thank you for your gift, I really appreciate your kindness. But I may not be able to use it now..."
Hearing Shao Yun's intriguing words, Capitano asked in confusion, "What do you mean? Why can't you use it? Is the milk powder prepared by Alechino enough for your child?"
"Well, I should have changed the diaper earlier..."
Shao Yun once again opened up his scars and told Capitano how Fengshen had kidnapped his wife and daughter.
He sincerely hoped that this was the last time...
When Shao Yun finished his last word, the milk powder can in Capitano's hand fell to the ground with a "bang", and the milk powder in the can spilled all over the floor.
Ah? It was the Wind God who kidnapped him. Are you sure it wasn't the Doctor? Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?
It took Capitano a while to come back to his senses.
He hurriedly walked up to Shao Yun, put his left hand on his shoulder, and sincerely thought about him, giving what he thought was a perfect suggestion.
"You shouldn't waste time here... After I finish talking to Mavica, clear up the misunderstanding, and establish cooperation, you should leave Nata immediately."
"Don't worry about Nata's affairs! I will definitely save Nata."
"Tell the Wind God that we don't need your help with Nata's matter. Get your wife and daughter back!"
Shao Yun smiled bitterly. The God of Wind had given him a death order. As long as Nata was still in the threat of the abyss, he would never see his wife and children again.
Your suggestion is of no use at all...
"I do want to," Shao Yun said helplessly, "Why don't you talk to your Queen of Winter, the Ice Goddess, and ask her to personally rescue my wife and children from Barbatos."
"But let me remind you that even the Rock God didn't succeed..."
Capitano was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond to Shao Yun's words.
He slowly removed his hand from Shao Yun's shoulder. After a moment's silence, Capitano said, "Anyway, I will immediately send someone to report what you said to the Queen of Winter."
This is the best he can do at the moment. After all, saving Nata needs to be put first.
Shao Yun looked at Capitano and said calmly, "Maybe the Ice God already knew it."
"After all, Mondstadt is no longer the original Mondstadt. It has become like Winter Solstice. At least the environment should be the same as Winter Solstice."
