Original God's Dark Priest

"Don't worry. Although I'm not very familiar with that idiot, given his temperament, he would prefer another way rather than robbing us." Saphir had a playful expression on his face.

Tirzad also reacted at this time: "Yes, these despicable guys will definitely want to reap the benefits without doing anything!" After saying that, he quickly added, "Of course, I'm talking about character, not background. I definitely don't mean to insult you, Gabriel."

Gabriel shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't care. Then he continued, "It's like this, that guy will probably ask us to solve all the puzzles for him."

"Oh! Why does this practice sound so familiar? It's like when everyone is collaborating on research, there are people who fish in troubled waters the whole time, but when the work is finally published, they jump out and grab the credit! Such people are the most hateful!" Tirzad immediately showed an indignant look, and was obviously fed up with such people.

Saphir glanced at him and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, it won't happen again. False academics will no longer have a place to stand."

"If what you said is true, that would be great." Tirzad nodded. His talent was not top-notch, but compared to those who took shortcuts, his advantage was that he was down-to-earth.

This is why Saphir is willing to play this friend game with him. In fact, to be honest, Tirzad is unnecessary in the entire expedition, but she still chooses to bring him along because she respects his spirit.

People with good hearts deserve some opportunities. Saphir doesn't mind being a helper to others. To her, it's not much of a sacrifice anyway.

Saphir wanted to use Samel, and Samel wanted to use them in return, which formed a subtle cycle.

Gabriel did not delve into this matter. In his opinion, Youfei's research was obviously more important. "But if we are stuck here and make no progress, they will not be able to achieve their goal."

"Well, let's take advantage of his...declaration of war. No matter what the content is, when the mystery is revealed, the guy will jump out on his own." Saphir was fully aware of the current situation and made a decision immediately.

Gabriel had the same idea: "Yes, as long as we stop him before he completes the last step..."

"Then what's the point of keeping him?" Safire asked, "Of course I'm watching him complete the final steps. Otherwise, if I just killed him from the beginning, wouldn't there be nothing to worry about?"

Gabriel was stunned for a moment, and finally smiled helplessly: "That's right, with Lord Dark Shepherd here, there will be no accidents.

In this case, let me first tell you the contents of the secret letter. The message in the letter is that Akhmar's throne will not appear easily, and only those who have gone through three trials can obtain the qualification to pay homage. "

"Triple Trial?" Hearing this, Safir couldn't help but frowned. "This Ahmar is so arrogant even though he's dead. I've seen him in person and he's not that troublesome."

These words left both Tirzad and Gabriel confused.

After a few seconds, Gabriel asked uncertainly: "Master Dark Shepherd... have you seen the Red King? Didn't he..."

"It doesn't matter. I'm just complaining. Don't take it seriously." Safir shook his head and evaded the question.

She couldn't say that she and the Red King had stayed together in Aru for hundreds of years, and that she had killed the remaining soul of the Red King with her own hands, right?

It's too unbelievable. If she tells others about it, people will think she's crazy.

Having said that, the triple trial must be passed. Saphir doesn't know what the content of the trial is, but she knows one thing, that is, the trial has nothing to do with force, which must be deciphered.

She didn't want to use her brain right now, so she looked at Tirzad.

Seeing Saphir staring at him, Tirzad scratched the back of his head in confusion: "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like this suddenly?"

"Tirzad, I think... you are a very outstanding scholar." As soon as Safier complimented him, Tirzad immediately understood what this guy wanted to do.

He immediately shook his head and stepped back: "Don't be ridiculous, Miss Saphir, the trials in this place are very dangerous no matter how you look at them, right? I don't want to sacrifice my life for the truth at this age!"

"Do you think I would let you go if it was a battle?" Saphir glanced at him, somewhat speechless. "I can solve a battle-type trial with just a flick of my finger. If I let you go now, it must be a difficult test of wisdom, right? As the smartest scholar in this small group, who will go if you don't go?"

"This... makes sense!" Tirzad was immediately fooled. He felt that what Saphir said made sense, and he really hadn't done much along the way. If he could stand up at this critical moment, it would be a proud thing.

However, he was still a little worried. Although it was a test of wisdom, there might still be danger.

Knowing what Tirzad was thinking, Saphir looked at Jade again and said, "Just let Jade go with you. She will protect you. If you encounter a problem that even Jade can't solve, just call my name as before. It's simple, right?"

"That's no problem. I will solve all the problems perfectly!" Tirzad was instantly filled with confidence.

Considering that this place is quite large, with Tirzad's speed, it would probably be evening by the time they finish solving the problem. Saphir summoned Veronica again, who could provide them with acceleration and flying abilities, which was very helpful in decrypting the information.

"This is my life-threatening weapon, Veronica. If you have any needs, you can just tell it." Saphir threw Veronica, which had turned into a small dagger, to Jade.

Jade held Veronica in her arms, her expression a bit complicated: "You mean... talking to this weapon?"

"Don't use this weapon. I have a name, Veronica." Veronica suddenly spoke, and Jade was so scared that she almost threw it away.

Gabriel and Tirzad also looked at Veronica in shock. It was the first time they saw a weapon with its own thinking and ability to speak.

"Don't be surprised. Get to work." Veronica didn't want to be treated like a rare animal here, so she urged him.

Jade nodded dazedly and quickly left with Tirzad to complete the trial.

Jade and Tirzad left, and Saphir found a shady place to sit down, leaning lazily against the wall beside him: "Huh~ As expected, it feels great to slack off while others are working hard."

"As a leader, it is not advisable to do everything by yourself." Gabriel stood in the sun and did not seek shade.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with Safire being lazy. Rather, as an executive, it was very unreasonable for her to do all these things herself.

In fact, Safir didn't want to come to the desert. If it weren't for Aru who was hiding here, wouldn't she be uncomfortable staying in Xumi City?

If it really doesn't work, go to Vimo Manor to check out the progress of the project there, or just go back to Liyue. Either way will be more comfortable than now.

However, if you want to replace Fushe's soul with the incarnation of Wuliutuo with certainty, you need to master the complete Aru. If you want this piece of Aru, you must have the stone slab and Benben. If you want the stone slab, you must contact Tirzad. If you want to kidnap Benben, you must rely on Jade.

This is unavoidable, so Safire can only take it step by step.

Fortunately, she had conquered Gabriel and Jade, and gained two capable generals. Otherwise, this trip to the desert would have been a big loss.

After resting in the shade for a while, Saphir sensed and found that Tirzad and Jade were still working hard on the first trial, so he simply stood up.

"I have to leave for something and will be back later. I don't think Tirzad will be able to finish it before I come back. But if he finishes it and I'm not back yet, you guys should rest where you are." Saphir ordered.

Gabriel nodded respectfully. In fact, he was a little worried. If Samel suddenly showed up, in the absence of Saphir, with Jade and his fighting power, they might not be able to protect Tirzad and Benben. Even the stone slab might be snatched away.

Saphir didn't think so much, because with Veronica around, Sameer was no match for Jade. Besides, if they were really in danger, Tirzad only had to call her name and she would be there in the first time, so there was no need to worry about any problems.

Even if we don't consider all these, just because Sameer is accompanied by Zoya's team, Gabriel and his group are absolutely safe.

Those advance teams were all Fatui, and they were the Fatui who had seen Safir and Gabriel traveling together. If they really encountered any problems, they would naturally have ways to deal with them, and would never let Tirzad and his men get into trouble.

So, Saphir left with peace of mind, leaving Gabriel alone to wait quietly.

Red King's Mausoleum, top floor.

This was the area that Tirzad and his companions had failed to reach. It hadn't changed much from when Saphir left. The magnificent decorations and the knife marks on the wall all reminded her that what happened back then was not a dream.

Slowly walking to the center of the room, Saphir stretched out his hand and brushed the deep knife marks on a sarcophagus: "Ahmar, I am here again. This time, we can have a good communication. Unfortunately... you are gone."

No one responded to her. The Red King had disappeared, and everything here became ownerless.

Safir felt a little melancholy. She had not shown it in front of Gabriel and the others before. In fact, she still felt sorry for Akhmare.

Anyway, the other party helped her solve the problem of wear and tear, but she lost her mind and completely destroyed the other party. This was not in line with her moral principles.

Even though Achmar said that this was his own choice, in Saphir's view, this was a god who was a stranger to her and gave everything for her.

Another life was added to her shoulders.

"It's so sad that I don't even have a chance to have a good chat with you." As she said that, she pushed open the sarcophagus in front of her. The lid of the sarcophagus was pushed open, and as a blue halo spread out, the scene inside appeared in front of Saphir.

It was a golden long-handled weapon, lying quietly in the sarcophagus, as if waiting for a destined person to come and take it away. It was the weapon of the Red King Akhmar: the Staff of Red Sand.

Safir was not surprised to see the Red Sand Staff. She had long guessed that this was a small gift left for her by Achmar, but she had left in a hurry and did not think of this.

And this time when she came to the desert, she could take away the things she couldn't take away before.

He placed his hand on top of the Red Sand Staff, and felt a faint force of resistance coming from it. Saphir's eyes condensed slightly, and Aru's power spread out instantly, and the force of resistance disappeared without a trace.

"Sure enough, I can't take the Red Sand Staff away without mastering Arushi. In other words, I am the only one in this world who can get it right now." Saphir grabbed the Red Sand Staff and muttered to himself.

As she picked up the Red Sand Staff, she instantly felt a strange yet clear memory being introduced into her mind.

That's all about Red King Technology.

"Have you taken into account the impact of forbidden knowledge? Or... this guy Akhmara..." Feeling the memories flooding into his mind, Saphir became more certain that Apep was plotted against by Akhmara.

During the years in Aru, Saphir could feel that the remaining soul of Akhmmar did not carry the breath of forbidden knowledge, so the soul of the dead Akhmmar was "clean".

However, the Great Mercy Tree King was also infected by the forbidden knowledge, and even the degree of infection was not as great as that of Achmar. Her soul was terribly corroded by the forbidden knowledge.

How does Akhmar maintain a pure soul?

There is only one answer. He gathered all the forbidden knowledge in his broken body and let Apep swallow it all in one gulp.

And he himself, with his pure soul, lurked in the Mausoleum of the Red King.

"Forbidden knowledge is not a good thing, and this should be a well-known fact. But Apep was conceited and thought he could fight against the thing that caused the four gods to die one after another, so he was deceived." Saphir put away the Staff of Red Sand and thought silently.

It is impossible that Akhmmar had not told Apep about the risks of this action, but Apep did not take it seriously. In fact...Ahmar's death was planned by Apep.

Saphir couldn't help but wonder, if she were Achmar, how would she negotiate with Apeep?

Naturally, the dangers of the forbidden knowledge must be fully informed, but the way of informing must be carefully considered. For example, one must take advantage of Apep's arrogance and make it propose to swallow Akhmmar's body in order to inherit the forbidden knowledge.

That's right, inheritance. In the deal between Apep and Akhmmar, forbidden knowledge is an important part. Apep is definitely interested in forbidden knowledge. After all, he is one of the original dragon kings. It is impossible for him not to be interested in the power outside the world.

Therefore, it was calculated by Akhmar and became the carrier of forbidden knowledge.

At this time, forbidden knowledge is no longer a disaster or a danger to Apep, but a kind of wealth and the future.

So, Akhmār used Apep's idea to set a second trap for him.

That is, his death may lead to the dissipation of forbidden knowledge, which will endanger the surrounding areas.

Yes, using the surrounding area as an excuse to give Apep a step. In this way, Apep, who wants to obtain all the forbidden knowledge and does not want it to dissipate, will definitely take the initiative to propose that in order to prevent damage to the surrounding area, it will directly swallow Akhmār's body when he is dying, so as to protect Xumi and prevent the further spread of forbidden knowledge.

But in fact, by doing so, it fell into Akhmmar's trap. By the time the remains of the Red King exploded in its body, everything was too late, not to mention whether Apep would have the strength to cause trouble for Xumi at that time.

Even if there was, it was all proposed by Apep himself. It can be said that Akhmmar completely removed himself from it, which was quite shrewd.

Saphir figured out the key points and suddenly relaxed a little. Apep seemed...stupid? He seemed much easier to deal with than Villette.

Maybe, one day in the future, she could really fool the other person.

No, how can the alliance be called a scam? And before she finds a way to solve the forbidden knowledge, it is better not to contact Apep casually. After all, that guy's strength is definitely super god-level even now.

After being tortured by forbidden knowledge for so long, that guy's mental state is not optimistic. Saphir doesn't want to be beaten to death by the crazy Apep while he is in a daze.

"Oh, what a sin, Akhmmar." Safir sighed with some regret.

"But, who asked you to help me? Then I will help you too. I will clean up the mess you made. I will also take care of Apep's affairs for you in the future. You can rest in peace."
