Original God's Dark Priest

The Sand People were not born rude and lowly, it was just that their gods left in a hurry and did not leave them any revelations.

Safire is not a populist, and naturally he would not one-sidedly label a certain type of people.

So she does not agree with the rainforest's discrimination against the desert.

But, this is Xumi's business, and the one who should solve this problem is Nashida, so she won't care.

"Keep going up. I'm sure there will be something that will satisfy you." As he said this, Safire took a step and walked up the stairs.

Jade followed behind her, muttering to herself, "I always feel like you've been here before."

"Probably, but it doesn't matter." Safire chuckled.

There was an elevator at the end of the stairs. Several people stood on the elevator and followed the rising platform to a higher level.

On the upper level, there is a stone vessel that looks like a wine glass. The vessel is very large, almost as tall as four people.

Looking at the huge vessel, Tirzad analyzed: "Logically, this should be the place where the Red King's 'organs' are stored... But it seems that, just like before, there is no 'entity' preserved here."

"Why is it that it's clearly a mausoleum, but there's no physical body?" Jade asked weakly, frowning, "Could it be that cremation was popular in the past?"

Saphir shook his head. "How is that possible? As a powerful god, even if he is dead, his essence is still a demon god. The energy released by the death of such a demon god is enough to destroy an entire country."

As she spoke, she suddenly froze.

"Oh, yes, will the death of a demon leave a body?" Saphir thought of Oropas. Oropas did leave a body when he died. In Inazuma, you can still see the huge skeleton, which is very eerie and creepy.

Similarly, if she hadn't dealt with that place, it would still be filled with the remnants of the devil and would be completely unsuitable for living.

However, the death of Chi Wang did not release the energy to destroy Xumi, which was not normal.

She knew that Apep had devoured the corpse of the Red King, which was why he was infected with forbidden knowledge. Everywhere he looked was desolate, and he was almost driven crazy.

But would the Red King die silently?

It is absolutely impossible, and he definitely did not die in the Red King's Mausoleum. This is where his soul returns, and this is where Aru is.

So, where did the Red King die?

In the entire Xumi, there has never been any news of a disaster occurring due to the death of the demon god. The only relic is the sea of ​​nectar flowers.

That's where Egolia died, and it has nothing to do with Achmar.

This gave Safire a guess.

That is, when Apep swallowed the body of the Red King, he was not actually dead.

Only this can explain why the fall of a powerful demon god will not have any impact on Xumi.

Safir's opinion of Akhmar deepened a little: "What does this Sixth Brother think of Apepu? Even if he is the Dragon King, he can't be so deceiving.

Are these guys used to harming the Dragon King? Orobas tricked Vilet into losing his dragon form, and Akhmar went even further, using Apep as a bomb blanket?"

Knowing that his death would cause immeasurable losses to the people around him, he let Apep eat him and then exploded in his stomach?

Xumi is safe now, but Apep was stunned by the wave of attacks. He was blown away and infected with forbidden knowledge. It’s tragic just to think about it.

It's only because Apep is a decent dragon with a good temper. If it were a dragon with a more irritable temper, after being hit by such a blow, it would be impossible to defend Mount Sumeru with just the spent strength of the Great Mercy Tree King.

Thinking of this, Safir couldn't help but admire Akhmmar's ingenuity. At the same time, she suspected that Akhmmar might have intended to take Apep away with him before he died.

After all, he is a demon god who came down from Sky Island, and he might be here to plot against the Dragon King.

"What a madman! He wants to drop a nuclear bomb on people even after his death. I don't know what evil Apep has done to attract such an evil star." Saphir sighed in his heart and lit a candle for Nashida.

It may not be easy for Apep to reach a reconciliation with the other party.

While Saphir was lost in thought, Tirzad was also thinking. After a long time, he said, "I have some hypotheses, but I need more evidence to prove them."

"What does Dad think? Dad must know something, right? Even though he didn't tell me or tell anyone else..." Jade looked at Gabriel. She always felt that her father was hiding something.

Gabriel looked at Tirzad, or more precisely, at the slate in his hand: "The slate is the key, but this key cannot open all doors. The key also needs to be 'recognized'."

As he finished speaking, a mechanical sound came from Benben's body.

Tirzad nodded. "Well, Ben-Ben's connection to this place is obvious, but the slab needs to be recognized? That's a bit... ridiculous, right?"

The two of them had different opinions again, so Jiede asked Benben: "Whose opinion do you think is more reasonable?"

Benben turned around on the spot, making noisy mechanical noises, and no one knew what he was saying.

Safir laughed: "Ben Ben only has some simple, seemingly logical abilities. How can it answer this question?"

Jade nodded somewhat disappointedly. She really had too high expectations of Benben.

Tirzad shook his head. Although Jade was a good fighter, she knew nothing about academic matters. Gabriel knew a little, but was obviously an outsider.

In this team, only Safire seems to have academic qualifications, but she does not express her opinions. Instead, she is more concerned about the relationship between the rainforest and the desert.

This made him feel helpless towards Safire. In his opinion, Safire was obviously more suitable for research as she had the temperament of a scholar.

Safir didn't know what Tierzad was thinking, and even if she knew she wouldn't care. After all, she had been a scholar and researcher before. After all, she was the master of Liyue's mechanical arts and a master of all immortal arts.

If she told him what she knew in her head, it would probably scare Tirzad to death.

After looking at Safir with some regret, Tirzad continued, "In short, Gabriel has always insisted that the Fatwa document is wrong. I will not refute it. In my opinion, my position is actually not important. I think I should stand on the side of truth.

Gabriel was a person who had been to the desert and had some experience. It may have been passed down orally and regarded as something of "knowledge". Let's just say that.

Although I am not sure yet, that is knowledge. After all, since people living in the desert are influenced by the environment, it is understandable that they would have superstitions.

Just like Gabriel believes that the Faith Council's view on the Red King is a superstition and rumor, these can be corrected.

But Jie De, do you really think that Ben Ben's "words" are worthy of trust? Is it really speaking? And not just your own imagination? "

Jade scratched her head and said uncertainly, "But Ben Ben helped us a lot along the way. Besides, many things before have proved that Ben Ben is indeed reliable, right?

As for imagination... I don't know, I just feel that's what Benben said. If you ask me to explain, I can't explain it clearly. "

Tirzad held his forehead with his hand. He really shouldn't have had such high expectations of Jade.

"Okay, why are you saying all this? Tirzade, are you really going to use Benben to prove the lost history of the desert?" Saphir asked with a chuckle.

Tirzad shook his head. He couldn't do such a thing.

"Isn't that right? These topics are totally unnecessary. If we keep going up, we will always find the evidence you want, right?" As he said that, Saphir took the slate from Tirzad's hand and pointed it at the wine glass-shaped vessel.

A deep blue light projected from the vessel and shone onto the stone slab.

Soon, a rune slowly emerged on the blank stone slab.

On the other side of the room, a stone door slowly opened.

Having discovered a new path, Jade looked towards Saphir with inquiring eyes again. Although her gaze was covered by the red silk, the curiosity on her face did not diminish in the slightest.

She felt more and more that Saphir had been here.

Saphir ignored her inquiring expression and walked towards the door. "Now at least one thing has been proven. This stone slab is indeed the key."

After saying that, she threw the slate directly to Tirzade: "There are still a lot of blank spaces on it. How about Tirzade study the meaning of this rune?"

"Oh? Be careful!" Tirzad hurriedly caught the stone slab. Fortunately, the stone slab was not heavy and he could still catch it. Otherwise, if it was thrown out like this and fell to the ground and broke, Tirzad would cry to death here.

After confirming that the slate was intact, Tilzad quickly caught up with Saphir, who had already walked a long way away, muttering, "How can I figure this out? If all the runes on it were lit up, I might be able to guess a little. But if only one was lit up, I can't tell."

"Yeah, that makes sense! If people in the past liked to use inversion in sentences, without reading the whole thing, we might come to a completely opposite conclusion." Jade agreed with this. Although her cultural level was not high, she still understood this common sense.

Saphir turned around and interrupted, "I'm familiar with this. This is how Inazuma characters are written."

"Do you also understand Inazuma language? Tell me in detail!" Jade came over quickly.

Seeing this, Saphir pushed away the head that was close to his chest and said, "Girl, you are just here to take advantage of me, right?"

"How could that be? I'm here to listen to stories!" Jade said confidently.

Safir didn't believe a word of this, because a certain yellow-haired guy had done the same thing to Jade countless times.

When that guy comes over like this every night, he's probably planning to use facial cleanser.

Safir just didn't understand. Wouldn't it be uncomfortable for her, a washboard-like person, to get close to him?

Ying’s explanation for this is: filing and smoothing your skin will make you more beautiful as you get older.

Just as several people were walking forward cautiously, Saphir suddenly stopped everyone and said, "Be careful, there's something strange here."

"Huh? I don't feel any danger." Jade looked around and didn't find anything wrong.

Gabriel stood there quietly. He understood that Safir was not speaking without a purpose. If she said there was a problem, then there must be a problem.

Tirzad immediately ran to a place closer to Safir.

In such an unfamiliar environment, it seemed that only this girl could give him a certain sense of security.

Saphir shook his head: "It's not dangerous, it's a problem."

As she spoke, she walked to the wall, felt around carefully, then seemed to have confirmed a spot and nodded.

The next moment, Veronica suddenly appeared in her hand, replaced with a cross blade, and then, in everyone's astonished eyes, Saphir swung the huge cross blade and directly cut off a piece of the wall.

Tirzad swallowed and said, "By the way, we are here for archaeology, right? Not tomb raiding, right?"

"You ask me? Aren't you the initiator? We are just mercenaries hired by you." Jade shrugged. It was obvious that Saphir's behavior had nothing to do with archaeology.

This is pure destruction.

But Safir did not let others wonder for too long. As she destroyed the wall, a piece of it collapsed, revealing traces of a formation hidden inside the wall.

"Sure enough!" After seeing the formation, Safier understood it immediately.

Tirzad was full of question marks: "What do you understand?"

"This is only a part of the formation. The main part is buried deeper. Tirzade, has the Yinlun faction done any research on the formation?" Saphir looked at Tirzade and asked instead of explaining immediately.

Tirzad frowned and shook his head: "The Yinlun School generally studies theories. We are not good at formations. To be precise, almost no one in the major academies is good at this. Perhaps the Minglun School will be better at it? After all, it is related to the study of celestial bodies."

Safir was not surprised by this. Although Tirzad's ability was average, he actually had a certain level, otherwise he would not have been able to graduate from the Institute of the Decree.

Since he was unable to notice it, it only shows that the Causal Theory School does not indeed have any knowledge in this area.

So, Saphir said, “I have some knowledge of the Liyue Immortal Family’s magic formation, so this thing won’t be difficult for me.

This is the formation of the Red King's subordinates. It is very concealed, but still discoverable."

"How terrifying! What is the purpose of this formation? Will it cut anyone who steps into it into pieces?" Tirzad suddenly panicked.

He looked at the range of the formation and found that if he and his companions had taken two more steps forward they would have stepped into the formation. Once the formation was activated, they would be in great danger.

At this moment, he was extremely glad that he hired Saphir. Although this girl was often very strong and had a bad temper, she was truly reliable and solved many of his worries.

Hearing Tirzad's concerns, Saphir chuckled and shook his head: "It's not that scary. In fact, the function of this formation is very simple, that is, teleportation. It teleports the uninvited guests who break into the Red King's Mausoleum to the outside to prevent them from disturbing the Red King's rest."

"So that's how it is. Somehow I feel relieved." Tirzad patted his chest, obviously very frightened.

Saphir did not make any comment on this, but just said: "This road is the only way to the top floor. It is very easy to break through, but in order to prevent greater damage, I can only make certain modifications to the formation itself, but this will take time."

"Come to think of it, I'm a little sleepy too. It seems to be getting late." Jade covered her mouth and yawned, then blinked her eyes. She really looked sleepy.

Gabriel nodded: "We have been busy all day, and it is probably night now. Since Miss Saphir... ahem! needs time, why don't we rest here and set off tomorrow?"

"Miss?" Tirzad looked at Gabriel suspiciously, but did not dwell on the title. Instead, he nodded and said, "Now that you mention it, I feel very tired too. It turns out that you still need to take a rest when you go out on an adventure."

They both had this idea, and Jade agreed. She had already taken out her tent and started looking for a suitable place to set it up.

Although the Mausoleum of the Red King is a mausoleum, it is very safe and indoors. It is much more comfortable to spend the night here than in the wild.

Although they were indoors, there were two males in the team, Gabriel and Tilzad. Saphir and Jade still needed a tent to create a private space, so Tilzad and Gabriel didn't think there was anything wrong with Jade's actions.

Saphir began to study the teleportation array, while the others began to prepare other things needed for the night, such as food, water, and the tent that Jade had half-built.

The group unlocked the achievement: Sleeping in a Tomb (bushi)
