Genshin Impact: I, the first water follower, makes players excited

Chapter 312 Kidnapping

"Hey, long time no see!"

Dixia greeted Hines and the other two warmly, and Candice beside her also smiled and waved.

It was a coincidence that after returning to Xumi City, Xines and Egolia went to the tavern that served delicious barbecue, intending to have a good meal.

I happened to meet Dixia and Candice who were having dinner there.

"Looks like you had a lot of fun at the Academy Celebration."

Hines and Egolia naturally sat next to Dixia and the others, and the four of them chatted about family matters for a while.

At a certain moment, Dixia suddenly looked up at the mercenaries who were walking out of the tavern.

Hines and Eugolia noticed her movements and subconsciously wanted to look back, but Candice raised her finger and shook it gently.

It wasn't until Dixia withdrew her gaze and started drinking again that Xines asked curiously,

"what happens?"

"Let's go out and talk..."

Leaving the pub, the festive atmosphere remains undiminished. Even at lunchtime, the streets are filled with tourists and locals participating in various activities.

The four of them found a relatively secluded and quiet place, and Dixia spoke.

"Candice and I happened to overhear those mercenaries discussing 'work', and we heard a name, Saziin."

This name, Xines, always sounded familiar, but she couldn't remember it. Egolia was surprised.

"Sazine? I remember that he sponsored the crown of talent and prize money for this college competition."

After completing the key information, several people guessed the purpose of those mercenaries in an instant.

"It seems that this wealthy Xumi man is in trouble."

Dixia shook her head with some regret.

"From what I've observed, those mercenaries all have human lives on them."

Hines lowered his head and thought about countermeasures. To be honest, this kind of matter should be handled by the Xumi officials. After all, they are just outsiders.

It was for this reason that Dixia and Candice did not act on their own. On the one hand, they did not want to cause unnecessary trouble, and on the other hand, they came from the desert.

Even though Xumi is gradually reducing the conflict between the rainforest and the desert, the prejudice in people's hearts is not so easy to eliminate.

For example, you can get 100 Nigos when you log in...

"How about this, we tell Ying about this news. She's always nosy, especially when it comes to this kind of big deal that looks like it's going to be profitable."

Hines proposed his own solution, and the other three nodded in agreement. Dixia even raised an eyebrow.

"You and I thought the same thing. We were originally planning to let Ying handle this matter."

"There's nothing I can do about it. After all, she's a famous adventurer."

Hines suppressed a smile as he said this, but it was actually pronounced as 'Great Adventurer' and written as 'The Most Cost-Effective Mercenary'.

If someone could give her 160 primogems a day, I believe it would be possible even for her to challenge all the Fatui executives alone!

Of course, the result of the duel has already been shown by a certain unhappy fire character~

Candice patted Dishia lightly, then looked at the two of them and said,

"If you need help, come find us at the cafe across the street."

"No problem, if you need us, we will definitely not hesitate!"

After an unknown amount of time, Hines and Egolia finally saw Ying and Paimon, who had rushed back from the desert.

"Has our guest commentator finally finished his work?"

Hines walked up to the two of them with two glasses of juice and handed them to them with a smile.

Ying and Paimeng didn't feel anything strange. They were almost dehydrated from traveling non-stop all the way!

"Gugugugu~ha! Delicious! I'm finally alive!"

Paimon drank it all in one gulp and gave it a thumbs up!

Hines looked at Paimon with satisfaction, then spoke,

"Your work must be very hard..."

"Yeah, yeah, Ying and I are almost exhausted!"

"Then you wouldn't mind taking on another commission, would you?"

"Of course...Huh? Why another commission?!"

Paimon looked at the cup in his hand, then looked at Hines.

"Um, if I vomit it out, can I not accept this commission?"

"...What do you think?"

Paimon pouted and retracted a favorable comment...

Ying sighed helplessly. She was destined to have a hard life. When would this kind of life end?

"By the way, this commission has not yet been paid..."

Ying and Paimon stared at Hines with a look of "are you kidding me?" The latter coughed twice and began to explain.

"Ahem, listen to me first..."

Hines simply relayed the information Dishia and the others had revealed to the two men whose anger levels were about to peak.

"...I believe that as long as you complete the commission, the wealthy man will not treat you unfairly. Of course, if anything unexpected happens, I will pay your commission fee..."

Hines, who was originally thinking of paying for it himself, suddenly paused, not because he regretted it, but because he remembered that he had no money...

"...Egolia beside me paid it off!"

Ying and Paimon frowned and realized that things were not simple. It seemed that the finances of Hines were now in the hands of Egolia?

.....

"It's kind of funny. It looks like Hines had already given Mora to Egolia, but he forgot."

"Shocking! Even Hines can't avoid the bad habit of handing over his salary!"

"Don't say useless things. I just want to know what would happen if Egolia knew that Xines hid his private money?"

"How do you know that Chines has private money?"

"Don't ask, this is a tacit understanding among married men. It's normal for a single man like you not to understand~"

"Um, but Sines and Eugolia aren't married yet?"

.....

When it comes to illegal and disorderly behavior, Ying's first reaction is to hand it over to the Xumi authorities for handling, so the four of them went to the Ordinance Hall together to find the disciplinary officer on duty.

As for why I didn't go find Seno, maybe it's because the nights in Xumi are a bit cold.

Ahem, anyway, even though most of the disciplinary officers are in the city to "maintain order" during the celebration, there will always be a few complete slaves who stay behind in the Ordinance House for triple overtime pay.

For example, the young man in front of him named Arav looks like a natural overtime saint!

"...premeditated kidnapping of Saziin?!"

Arav did not hide his shock, and his reaction even made Ying feel that he was making a fuss out of nothing. It was very possible that a rich man was targeted by kidnappers.

Seeing the strange look in Ying's eyes, Arav quickly explained,

"No, no, no, I'm not surprised that someone is targeting Arav. It's normal for someone as rich as him to be targeted by those who will do anything for money. But there's a problem now..."

"...We don't know where Saziin is? I'm afraid the kidnappers don't know either..."
