Seeker of Teyvat

She was holding a big bow in her hand. Obviously, the terrifying arrows that covered the battlefield just now came from this girl.

"Who is this?"

Desiya asked Candice. Desiya was hired by the Dinazedai family a few months ago and left the desert, so she didn't know Tadra.

"This is Tadela, the reconnaissance captain of Chisha Headquarters. This time he is here to help garrison Aru Village."

Candice introduced Desiya.

Then he introduced Disia to Tadra: "This is Disia, you should know."

As the reconnaissance captain of Chisha, Tadela naturally knows many famous people in the desert.

Desia, the blazing-maned lion, is naturally one of them.

Tadela nodded: "Of course, the story of you, the blazing-maned lion of the Blazing Hunting Beast, is spread even in the Red Sand headquarters."

"I have heard the story of you fighting into the northerners' camp and rescuing those children more than once."

As he spoke, Tadela extended his hand to Dishia: "Hello, I am Tadela, I am the falcon of the Lord of Red Sand."

"Falcon? I thought there wouldn't be any after Tanit was destroyed." Desiya raised her eyebrows.

Tadela didn't care at all: "I am the falcon tamed by Tanit. It was the Lord of Red Sand who saved me, so I am His falcon... Although the elder brothers all said that the Lord of Red Sand doesn't need a falcon..."

The big brothers Tadela was talking about were the Falcons who captured her to Chisha. Now, most of these people have become Chisha's investigation team.

"Okay." Desiya nodded, then looked at Candice, "Did something happen to the village? You actually accepted Chisha's garrison?"

Disia knows Candice too well. If there hadn't been a problem in Aru Village, this tough guardian would never have allowed Chisha's soldiers to openly enter Aru Village, let alone act with Chisha's soldiers. .

Desiya still remembered that Candice had shown a wary look towards the Lord of Red Sand more than once.

"Let's talk as we walk." Candice pointed to the soldiers who had prepared the battlefield, and then continued, "There have been several robberies around the village recently, and they have even affected the village itself."

"As Chisha opened up its trade routes to the outside world, the guards of Aru Village were unable to keep up. Coupled with the incident involving the village guards, I had a bad feeling, so I went to Chisha to ask for help."

"Tadra and these soldiers were sent by Chisha to help me guard Aru Village."

Desiya nodded slightly: "Even Candice, you need to go to Red Sand to ask for help. It seems that the matter is a bit serious. Do you need me to summon everyone from the Blazing Hunters for help?"

Desia's blazing hunting beast gilded brigade is also a mercenary group with good combat effectiveness.

Most of them are active in Kavanyi. As long as Disiya sends a call, they can get here quickly.

"No need." Candice shook her head, and then pointed to the prisoners tied up by the soldiers, "These northerners are the marauders. Tadela and I will catch them all this time, so they should be fine." ”

All Candice wants is to protect the village. Now that the person who caused the problem has been solved, there will naturally be no problem.

However, Ying beside him frowned and felt something was wrong: "What are these fools trying to rob here?"

Hearing Ying speak, Candice's eyes flashed slightly, but she still answered directly: "They don't seem to be interested in caravans. They only rob the village guards. The caravans were robbed several times because they ran into them. That’s why they’re robbing the village guards.”

"Oh, village guards are what our Aru village calls them. In the rain forest, you should call them mad scholars."

Ying nodded, her pretty eyebrows slightly wrinkled,

Mad scholar, plunder, I feel like I’ve seen it somewhere before.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Ying's mind,

She remembered,

According to the evidence given by the instructor named Pana in the office of the Great Sage of the Palace of Wisdom,

There is information about the madman.

[The Great Sage transported madmen to Aru Village, but the number of people transporting them was reduced. As a result, they were robbed many times. The Great Sage suppressed this information. 】

All the information in his mind was quickly connected, and Ying's eyes lit up.

Ying cast her gaze to Tadela aside: "Miss Tadela, you just said that the Fools have a secret base here, right?"

Ying had a hunch that the answer could be found in this base as to what the Great Sage and the Fools were planning.

"Don't call me Miss Tadela. It sounds weird. Just call me Tadela." Hearing Ying's voice, Tadela looked at Ying and nodded: "Yes, torture. The prisoners confirmed that they still have a secret base here."

Ying's expression became excited,

"Tadra, can you tell me the location of that base?"

Tadela's eyes lit up: "Hey, do you also have a grudge against the northerners?"

"Northerners... The Fatui have set up a big conspiracy in Xumi. I came here this time to seek help from the Lord of Red Sand, and I think that base may be related to the Fatui's conspiracy."

Then, Ying told everyone the conspiracy of some great sages and fools.

……

After listening to Ying’s story,

Candice frowned, dissatisfaction flashing in her eyes: "I didn't expect that the village defenders were robbed and the great sage tacitly agreed to it. It's really... humph!"

Compared to Candice's reaction, Tadra's reaction was much duller. She didn't care about Sumeru City or what happened in the rain forest.

She only cared about one thing: "In that case, it means you want to go to the northerners' base to visit. It just so happens that I will take you with me."

Tadra doesn't want anything, Tadra just wants to fight the northerners,

In her simple concept, the Lord of Red Sand did not like northerners, and beating northerners would make the Lord of Red Sand happy, so she went to beat northerners.

"In that case, let me go too." Desiya said.

Candice shook her head: "Then after these people are brought back to Aru Village, you can go together. I won't go. I am still a little uneasy recently. I have to stay and watch Aru Village. "

"Then it's settled." Tadela clapped his hands, "Hey, after cleaning up this northerner base, maybe the Lord of Red Sand will pay attention to me. Hehe, I feel so happy just thinking about it."

Ying looked at Tadela with a silly smile on her face, and suddenly felt a little familiar.

I seem to have heard of this girl somewhere,

After racking her brains for a moment, Ying suddenly realized that she seemed to have heard a girl say that if she became a Skeleton Warrior, she would be envied by a man named Tadela.

Ying's eyes flashed slightly, and then she asked Tadela: "Tadla, do you know Jade?"

"Jade? Of course I know her. She's my good friend. Without Jade, I can't scold Kassa and Kallen by myself."

"Humph, those two sisters have taken over the position of Red Sand Lord's maids and refused to let me take more looks at Red Sand Lord. How despicable."

"Jade is still the best. Well, as long as Jade doesn't compete with me for the Lord of Red Sand's attention, she is my good sister."

Speaking of Jade, Tadala became excited again.

"Why, do you know Jade too?"

Tadela's eyes turned and looked at Ying: "Well, you are also very good-looking. Jade will definitely like someone like you."

The corners of Ying's mouth twitched, not knowing what Tadela meant by "like".

"Tadala, do you know where Jade is? We made an appointment with her before and came to the desert to play with her." Paimon interrupted.

"Jade, I heard that she went to the rain forest with her father before. It seems that they went to clean up some dead area. According to the time, she should be back. She is probably in the tribe now. But she likes to run outside, so maybe she went to a tribal branch to have adventures."

"I see." Ying nodded, "I see. Thank you Tadala."

As they were chatting, they passed through a huge cave passage, and a village nestled in the cliff appeared in front of them.

"We've arrived at Aru Village. Everyone, let's go to Uncle Anpu's place and take a rest. If there's anything we need to do, we need to plan it before we can do it."

Candice invited.

Tadela nodded: "Well, you take them there first, I will take the captives and the mad scholar to settle them, and then I will join you."

A group of people went their separate ways.

Candice led Ying, Paimon, and Dishia to the village chief's house.

Tadela led the soldiers to escort the prisoners and the mad scholar to the Chisha camp.

Along the way, the passing caravans looked at Tadela and his group, but instead of giving way, they pointed and talked from a distance.

Of course, the prisoners who were being pointed at were those who were clearly dressed as Fatui.

All the way back to the base with the prisoners,

Tadela saw a Saint Relic Warrior walking towards him.

Tadela was a little puzzled. The Holy Relic Warrior was the tribe's top combat force, but she didn't bring him with her this time. Where did this warrior come from?

Before Tadela could speak, the Saint Relic Warrior took out a letter and handed it to Tadela: "Captain Tadela, this is a letter from Elder Cid to you. Please read it as soon as possible and destroy it after reading."

Tadela nodded and understood where this warrior came from. It turned out to be a messenger from the headquarters.

The Holy Relic Warriors can be used as messengers. It seems that there is some important information.

She took the letter, opened it, and saw that it clearly stated some things that needed her to do.

Of course, none of this is important. What is important is that at the end of the letter, Sid specifically wrote that after completing these things, the Lord of Red Sand would meet her.

Tadala's eyes lit up.

She nodded to the Saint Relic Warrior who delivered the letter and said, "Please go back and tell Elder Cid that you can leave it to me."

The Saint Relic Warrior nodded and said, "You'd better destroy the letter. If the news is leaked, it will not be good for you or Master Cid."

"Don't worry, I know."

……

The center of Aru Village, the village chief’s home,

Candice made tea for the guests like a host.

"You must be thirsty after walking all this way. Have some tea. It's not the best tea, but it can quench your thirst."

Candice does not have the murderous aura of the battlefield, and is more like an older sister next door.

Paimon took the tea, took a sip, and then his eyes lit up: "It tastes good."

"Haha, then drink more. There are not many special products in the desert. This kind of tea made with dried coconut fruit is one of them. Unfortunately, everyone prefers the tea from Liyue."

Candice smiled and pushed the teapot towards Paimon.

Dixia shook her head slightly: "Candice, didn't the scholars of the Order say that there is a lack of vegetables in the desert, so we need to drink more tea from Liyue?"

Candice smiled and didn't respond.

They chatted for a while, and then the door of the village chief's house was opened again.

It was Tadela who had returned.

"How's it going, everyone? Have you rested enough? If you are, let's go. I can't wait to shoot an arrow into the chest of the northerner."

Tadella was still as passionate as ever.

It seems that attacking the Fatui is her hobby.

Ying stood up and nodded: "Of course, we can leave at any time."

Dixia also looked very energetic: "I can do it anytime. I haven't done it for a long time. I don't know if my hands are still fresh."

Tadela nodded: "In that case, let's go. I have prepared the map. If we set out now, we will probably reach our destination just in time for sunset."

After they packed up their supplies and checked their weapons and confirmed that there were no problems, they set off.

At the entrance of Aru Village, Candice stood there and watched the three people and Paimon leave.

"Red Sand..."

Leaving behind a slight murmur, Candice turned and left.

The desert at dusk is no longer as hot as during the day.

The yellow sand heats up quickly and cools down quickly.

As soon as the sun went down, a slight chill spread.

The group did not stop at all, bypassing some wild animals roaming in the desert and came to a small canyon.

"According to the prisoners' intelligence, their base is here."

As he spoke, a trace of disdain appeared in Tadella's eyes.

"Under Chisha's cleanup, the camps of the northerners, or what you call the Fatui, have been almost completely cleared out."

"According to the captives, this place was built with the help of some people from the House of the Lords in order to deal with the mad scholar."

"With the intervention of the Order of the Lords, it's no wonder they were able to escape the purge of the Red Sand Warriors."
