Chapter 879 Javier Esquilla
Yi Anshan, who was standing on the stone, took a closer look and finally felt relieved. It turned out to be Shao Yun!
She breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest, and said, "Oh, it's you. I was so scared. I thought it was the murderer who attacked the orchard of Vanessa's family."
As Ianshan spoke, he jumped lightly from the rock and landed steadily on the ground.
Her eyes immediately fell on Shao Yun's apocalypse horse "War", and she couldn't help but ask in surprise: "But why is your horse on fire?"
Shao Yun didn't have the time or mood to explain in detail why the Apocalypse Horse "War" was on fire. He quickly changed the subject and said:
"Varesa was sent to the Holy Fire Arena by a Ceratopsian to seek help, and then I came here. How is the situation?"
Yianshan's eyes flickered back and forth between Shao Yun and the Apocalypse horse "War". Although she was very curious about Shao Yun riding a horse on fire, she also understood that now was not the time to talk about these unimportant things.
She calmed herself down and said, "Well, if you were here, this sudden attack would have been dealt with quickly."
Shao Yun nodded, and then asked, "Do you have any information about the murderer who attacked the Varesha orchard?"
Yi Anshan did not tell Shao Yun about the matter immediately. Instead, she smiled and waved to him, saying softly, "Don't worry, I will take you to our tribe, and I will explain it to you slowly on the way."
Shao Yun looked at Yi Anshan's confident look, and a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
"Judging from her appearance, the mysterious attacker should not have caused too much damage." Thinking of this, Shao Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
……
Because the country of Wolu is too remote for the Nata tribe and all the tribal members are strong and full of martial virtues.
The small-scale attack from the Abyss did not cause much damage to the tribe.
But now, many people in the Wolu State are also helping the other five tribes. So, overall, the number of people in the Wolu State is still relatively small...
But overall, the country of Wolu is the least affected by the abyss.
The houses of Wolu are shaped like the giant horns of a ceratosaurus. They are built of strong and durable stones and can be lived in for a long time and can even withstand lava.
After all, the Turan volcano erupts frequently, with boulders and lava flying down the mountain.
If the house had not been built more solidly, it would have been swallowed by the lava long ago.
No wonder, people in the Wolu country all have to keep fit and train their legs and feet. When a volcano erupts, those who run slowly will die.
Shao Yun looked at the settlement of Wolu State, then looked at Yianshan who was leading the way in front, and asked: "Now, can you tell me if there are any clues?"
Yi Anshan stopped and turned to face Shao Yun. He carefully recalled what happened at that time in his mind, and then replied:
"Well, it's like this. According to the description of the eyewitnesses at the scene, that guy seemed to have sneaked into the orchard of Varesha's family and wanted to steal some fruit. As a result, he was discovered by the Ceratosaurus in the orchard."
"Then the guy panicked and shot Varesha, then ran away."
"We immediately launched a manhunt, but so far, we have not found any valuable clues."
After listening to Yi Anshan's narration, Shao Yun frowned and asked, "So, no one died?"
Ianshan nodded and answered affirmatively: "Yes, no one died."
Shao Yun muttered to himself:
"If the system hadn't clearly told me that the target was 'Javier', I would have really thought that this was just a starving member of the Huayu Society who sneaked into the orchard of the Varessa family to steal fruits to satisfy his hunger..."
Suddenly, a melodious guitar sound, accompanied by a slightly melancholy male voice, came from a two-story building nearby.
"Al borrachito todo se le dispensa.Cuando anda chirpo no conoce la verguenza."
(Translation: Nothing matters to the drunkard. When he is drunk, he knows nothing of shame.)
The sudden sound of the guitar made Ianshan suddenly alert.
She stopped and listened attentively, trying to discern the source and melody of the guitar sound.
"Is that... a guitar? Someone singing?"
When Shao Yun heard this familiar Mexican folk song, his heart moved.
He narrowed his eyes, tightened the reins, let the horse slowly stop, then turned to look at the two-story building in the tribal style of the Wolu Kingdom.
"Javier..."
As Ianshan listened to the folk song, her fingers involuntarily tapped the palms of her hands to the rhythm of the music.
She was attracted by the beautiful melody and was completely immersed in it.
After a while, she commented, "This song is so beautiful! Could it be that someone from the Flowing Springs of the Land of Wolu is playing the guitar?"
"However, the lyrics sound a bit strange. They are neither the language of Nata nor the common language of Teyvat."
Shao Yun slowly took out the "cowboy revolver" (Blessing of the Goat) from the holster on his waist.
"It seems that we have finally found the murderer who attacked Varesa."
When Yi Anshan heard Shao Yun's words, she showed an expression of disbelief on her face. She said in surprise: "You mean, it can't be..."
"What kind of murderer would be so stupid? And hide in the country of Volu?"
Shao Yun did not answer Yi Anshan's question, but warned with a serious face: "I will handle this matter, don't let anyone interfere."
Ian Shan nodded and agreed: "Oh, I see."
……
Shao Yun walked cautiously towards the direction where the guitar sound came from. The guitar sound and singing came from a room on the second floor.
Shao Yun followed the direction of the singing and walked up the stairs step by step. His heartbeat became more and more intense as his pace quickened.
As he walked to the second floor, the singing became clearer.
"Como una taza de tequila de mi abuelito.Todo lo causa la pasion de una mujer."
(Translation: Like one of my grandfather's shots of tequila, all because of a woman's heart.)
As the guitar sound and the hesitant male voice ended, Shao Yun raised the cowboy revolver and pushed open the door of a room on the second floor.
The light in the room was dim, and Shao Yun's eyes fell on a figure.
The man was wearing a Mexican straw hat and a gray coat. He was sitting on a box with his back to Shao Yun, playing a worn-out guitar.
Shao Yun held the gun tightly in his hand, pointed the gun at the man, and said with mixed emotions:
"Javier... hello, old friend, long time no see."
The abyss-transformed "Javier" was not disturbed by Shao Yun's appearance. He slowly put down the guitar in his hand, still with his back to Shao Yun, and answered in a relaxed tone:
"Hey man, nice to see you."
Shao Yun pursed his lips and tried to keep his voice steady.
"But seeing you, I have mixed feelings."
When Javier heard this, he immediately said with a Mexican accent and a smile:
"Confused? Yeah, I feel confused too. You know, this isn't Mexico, but it's very similar. Are we in hell? Huh?"
Shao Yun did not answer, he just looked at Javier quietly.
Javier continued: "But there is one thing I am confused about, why do I still feel hungry?"
He stood up, turned around and faced Shao Yun.
"It's just that this time when I stole food, I didn't meet Dutch who took me in..."
Shao Yun pursed his lips and said, "I don't want to explain this too much, but you have to know that you are not the real Javier."
"You are just an enemy created by the Abyss 'Pot' based on my memories."
Javier's eyes fell on the weapon in Shao Yun's hand. He pointed his finger at the gun and said in a teasing tone:
"What you said is really weird. Come on, you're not really going to kill me now, are you? Huh? How about we talk first?"
Shao Yun looked at Javier and noticed the guitar in his hand.
He put the gun back into the holster, then looked at Javier with a complicated expression and said:
"I don't want to kill you, but now that things have come to this, there is no other choice... Either you die or I die."
Javier did not respond to Shao Yun's words, but suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Who is the girl with horns in the orchard?"
Shao Yun was stunned. He didn't expect Javier to ask about Vanessa.
After a moment's silence, he answered truthfully: "Her name is 'Varesa'."
Javier stroked his chin thoughtfully and muttered:
"I heard Lenny talk about something about 'Mbaba Mwana Waresa', the goddess of rainbows, rain, harvests and agriculture."
When Shao Yun heard this, he asked curiously, "Has Lanny talked to you about this?"
Javier raised his chin and answered slowly, "Hosea told him to read more. Have you forgotten?"
Then, Javier's tone became friendly, and he said softly: "Anyway, please apologize to her for me..."
"I was really hungry, but this time, I didn't meet Dutch to take me in."
Shao Yun stared at Javier, and after a moment's silence, he finally spoke his true feelings.
"I don't want to kill you. You're actually pretty good, at least before everything fell apart."
Javier frowned as he listened to Shao Yun's words "before everything fell apart" and asked hesitantly, "So, is Dutch really crazy?"
Shao Yun shook his head slowly, without making any clear comments on Daqi's condition, and just said lightly:
"I don't know, but, to me, those are already things from another world..."
Javier's eyes fell on the holster on Shao Yun's waist. He pointed at the gun and asked directly:
"So now, are you planning to kill me? And why exactly?"
Shao Yun nodded without hesitation, his eyes revealing determination, and answered truthfully: "For my family."
Javier looked at Shao Yun who had put his hand on the holster. He also put his hand on the holster at his waist and replied, "You know I won't just sit there and wait for death..."
