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

Chapter 197 Aru Village

"So you are the ones introduced by Dishia. I am Candice, come with me."

The woman who called herself Candice led the way, followed closely by Sines and Eugolia.

The encounter with Candice can be said to be an accident. Because the sandstorm just now attracted the monsters nearby, Xines and Egolia, two outsiders who were lost in the desert, naturally became the targets of hunting.

However, the hunter's strength is a bit too weak.

Candice also discovered the two people while tracking the whereabouts of the monster. After some communication, Candice got Dishia's letter, so he felt relieved about the two people and planned to take them to Aru Village to rest first.

It was already evening when they arrived at Aru Village. Candice first took them to the village chief's house to meet with him.

"Hello, I'm the village chief of Aru Village. Others usually call me Uncle Anpu."

The hunched old man with white hair smiled kindly and even took out his precious water to entertain the two guests from other places.

Naturally, Hines and Egolia would not refuse Amp's courtesy, and both picked up their teacups and drank the water in them. At this time, Candice also handed Dishia's letter to the village chief.

"Mr. Village Chief, the purpose of our visit this time was also mentioned by Dixia in the letter."

After reading the entire letter, Anpu nodded.

"I don't know much about the Vitality House you're talking about, but if you're talking about an abandoned hospital, there is indeed such a place. But now there are only some wandering mercenaries there."

"Thank you. Once we check it out, we'll know if it's the place we're looking for. But we might have to stay here for a while."

Egolia first thanked Amp for his hospitality, and then made her own request.

It was getting late and she was still dirty, so Egolia decided to rest for the night and explore the Vitality House tomorrow.

Anpu agreed to such a simple request and gave one of his guest rooms to the two of them.

Upon learning that the two had not yet had dinner, An Pu generously prepared a sumptuous dinner for them.

"Speaking of which, I have a favor to ask..."

An Pu saw that the two had eaten and drunk enough before speaking.

"...Recently, the village guards have been mysteriously disappearing. If you have time, please investigate."

Faced with Amp, who provided accommodation and dinner, it was difficult for Shines to say no.

In the desert, the advantage of possessing water elemental power is reflected. Water is a precious resource, and Hines can create a ball of it with just a wave of his hand.

In a short while, a basin of clear water gathered in the basin, and then...

Sines was driven out of the house by Eugolia.

Bored Hines had no choice but to chat with the equally bored Uncle Anpu. Anpu looked at Hines, then at the closed door, with a smile of an experienced person on his face.

"Young man, you're not married yet?"

Young man...

Hines was too lazy to correct the old man's mistake and sat casually beside Anpu.

"Yeah, it's still too early to get married."

"Haha, it's not too late. I see you two as my old self and I when we were young."

Anpu's eyes were full of smiles, and it was obvious that his marriage was quite happy.

Seeing the old man's expression, Hines couldn't help but become curious.

"Mr. Village Chief, can you tell me your story?"

"If you want to hear it, I'll tell you..."

Time always passes quickly when gossiping, and since the two of them had no intention of covering up their voices, Egolia in the room could hear it clearly.

"...Yo, you can go back now."

Amp, who was telling a story halfway, heard the sound of the door opening. He patted Hines on the shoulder and said, "Come on, young man. I'm rooting for you."

This made Hines slap Anpu's hand away in embarrassment under Egolia's gaze.

Both Chines and Egolia returned to their rooms, leaving only Amp outside the room, drinking tea.

"Today's tea is a bit bitter."

Inside the house, Egolia had already hung her long skirt on the clothesline and was wearing one of the kimonos that Xines had bought at Inazuma.

There were still a few drops of water hanging on the loose hair, which made Egolia a little surprised at Ying's craftsmanship.

Egolia: I really don't know what material Ying's body is made of!

Hines looked at Egolia's wet hair and thought thoughtfully, if Egolia's hair was wet, she couldn't lie on the bed, so she needed to dry it first.

Of course, drying is unrealistic, but Xines can control the water element to leave Egolia's body.

Feeling her hair drying up instantly, Egolia turned to look at Sines, her eyes filled with surprise.

"So you can use elemental power this way!"

Egolia threw the long skirt hanging on the clothesline directly to Xines.

"give it to you!"

Hines frowned instinctively, as if he had earned the title of a human meat dryer.

After a moment, Egolia nodded in satisfaction while holding the clean clothes.

"Hines, you are amazing!"

Although it was a compliment, Egolia's coaxing tone still made Hines feel weird.

"Egolia, why do you seem a little strange?"

"Huh? No...no? It's getting late, let's get some rest."

Before Hines could react, Egolia was already lying on the bed with her eyes closed. If Hines had just returned to the room, he might have thought she was asleep.

Looking at Egolia's performance, Hines touched his chin and leaned over to whisper in Egolia's ear,

"Did you hear everything I said to Village Chief Anpu just now?"

Egolia didn't move, as if she was really asleep.

At this time, Hines was certain that Egolia must have heard it, which was why she was so abnormal.

"Egolia, how about we go back to Fontaine and get married?"

“You! You…what are you talking about!?”

Peng!

Egolia couldn't hold it any longer, and she raised her head and had a close contact with Xines, but it was a little painful...

Hines sat on the edge of the bed, holding his forehead.

"My dear Egolia, you know how to fight. The power of this God's Head is quite terrifying."

Regarding Xines' complaints, Egolia didn't want to reply at all, because she was also in pain...

Looking at Egolia curled up facing the wall, Sines smiled helplessly. There's no rush to get married. We still have plenty of time.

Egolia felt a familiar warmth coming from behind her and couldn't help but shrink back.

Marrying Ginez...

How will Fukalos look at me? What should he call Xines from now on?

Egolia felt her brain heating up because she didn't know how to solve this problem.
