Original God's Dark Priest

Children always have to grow up, but in families where parents are relatively doting, the time it takes for children to become sensible will be delayed.

From the perspective of the four countries of Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma and Xumi.

Mond is like having doting parents like Jean and Wendy. The people of Mond can live a comfortable life, so they have a sense of relaxation, just like carefree children. Because of the comfortable life, they may even be a little lax.

As for Liyue, Zhongli's governance model is more scientific. He pays more attention to rules, so Liyue is like a large family with strict rules. The Seven Stars are the backbone of the family. They can make decisions directly on many matters, but when encountering major events, they still need to consult the opinions of the immortals.

Liyue is now gradually coming under human rule, and the immortals have more of a symbolic meaning to Liyue. The people still respect them, but they no longer have any sense of reality. However, the immortals who seemed far away to them have actually been integrated into Liyue Harbor without them noticing.

Because of their profound historical heritage, the people of Liyue have their own character. They are like children born into aristocratic families and received elite education. Although they are not nobler than people from other countries, the people of Liyue will be looked up to wherever they go.

The most important thing is that institutions like Hearth House that take in orphans have never taken in orphans from Liyue. It’s not that there are no orphans in Liyue, but Liyue will not allow orphans to wander around without anyone caring about them.

Inazuma is very different from the previous two countries. It does have rules, and the Three Magistrates have certain powers, but in fact, Inazuma has always been the one who has the final say over the Thunder God. Others do not and cannot have the ability to refute the Thunder God's decisions.

Thor is like a parent with a strong desire for control. The issuance of the Eye Hunting Order and the National Closure Order caused great pain to the people, but they could not resist. They could only struggle and live a hard life like children living in a suffocating environment.

Although there are resistance forces on Kaiji Island, the current situation on Kaiji Island is essentially a transaction. Thor will not pay too much attention to Kaiji Island. After all, that place has never been under her jurisdiction. Now that Orobasi has returned and Abyss Palace has been occupied by Saphir, neither Shin nor Ying intends to get involved in the affairs of Kaiji Island. That place has been left alone.

As for Sumeru...

The situation in Xumi is more special. As a country, it has experienced a situation where three gods co-govern, and until now its beliefs have not been unified. The rainforest believes in the God of Grass, and the desert believes in the Red King. Such a contradiction is fundamentally irreconcilable.

In addition, the Great Mercy Tree King died early and Nashida was young, which forced Xumi to abandon his gods for five hundred years. This made Xumi grow up wildly like a left-behind child. It seemed that he had no parental constraints and was very willful. However, without the protection of gods, Xumi had no power to resist at all when the doctor and the soldiers arrived.

Now that Nashida is back in charge of the Order, with Pal assisting her, Xumi will usher in a period of vigorous development.

If they do well, it might be possible to unify the faith of all of Xumi, although the possibility is very low.

While Safir and Wendy were talking, a sneaky figure slowly approached them from behind.

Both of them realized each other's identity at the first moment and did not react, which made the guy think that he was hiding well.

In fact, that person was indeed hiding well. Because of the effect of the Word Spirit and the Dark Illumination, he could sneak in the shadows almost unnoticed by anyone. Unfortunately, this place was relatively open and without shadows. With the strength of Wendy and Saphir, they would not be completely unaware of such sneaking.

A pair of small hands suddenly covered Saphir's eyes, and then a deliberately lowered voice sounded: "Guess who I am?"

"Hmm... it's a very unfamiliar voice. What should I do if I can't guess it?" Safir played this children's game with the other party with a smile on his face.

The other party snorted, almost forgetting to hide his identity: "Then just say one!"

"Then let me think...you are...Beidou!" Saphir said a name that no one could guess.

This made Xi'er behind her break down. She put down her hands and started to grumble, "No way! Why is it Beidou? Is it too far away?"

"Really? I thought your voices were similar." Saphir tilted his head, looking innocent.

Wendy smiled aside, obviously knowing what Saphir meant, but it was not easy to say such things out loud, as it would break the dimensional wall.

Rimuru in Saphir's arms shook his body, nudged Saphir and asked, "Were you playing a CV joke just now?"

"You know this?" Safire was very surprised.

“Although I have never seen the connection you mentioned, but probably only CV can play it this way, right?” Rimuru probably played this joke many times, but since he went to the other world, no one can discuss similar topics with him.

The same goes for Saphir. Although she has played games and watched anime, she does not have a deep understanding of the anime and games that Rimuru knows. They are not from the same era, and probably not even from the same world.

Seele looked at the talking Rimuru with some surprise, and for a moment she forgot to criticize Saphir's bad behavior: "This slime..."

"Don't even think about it." Saphir simply turned sideways to block Xier's sight.

Xier immediately puffed up her face, looking dissatisfied: "I haven't said anything yet!"

"Then don't say that! You can't use what I worked so hard to develop for experiments!" Safire refused bluntly.

She was very familiar with Xier's eyes. Dotole had a similar look when he encountered something interesting.

There was nothing Xier could do about this and she had to give up. She really wanted to study the composition of Rimuru, but unfortunately, with Saphir protecting her, she could not find the opportunity.

Skipping this topic, Saphir looked at Xier and nodded: "Well, you have changed a lot in the more than one year you have spent in the Church Order."

"Although there are some problems with the top management of the Academy of Teachings, most of the scholars are still very good. The teachers are also very good and take good care of me." When talking about this, Xier seemed very happy.

She was very talented in alchemy and Gulersh took a liking to her, unlike Lisa, a once-in-a-century genius.

For unknown reasons, Lisa turned away from research after being exposed to certain things and chose to waste her time in Mondstadt, which made many scholars in the House of the Decree feel sad.

This was not the case with Xier. She was very interested in all research, and her outstanding talents made her a hot commodity in the eyes of many research teams in the Academy of the Church.

In this year alone, Gulersh sent her out several times to study earth veins, biological alchemy, elemental theory, and even went to Jingshan Palace several times.

It can be seen that Nashida also takes good care of Xier, but Saphir knows that this is probably because Pal's health is not particularly stable for the time being.

The person who created Pal's body was Xier, and all subsequent adjustments required Xier's assistance. In fact, she was the main force in Pal's subsequent body adjustments.

How can a deceitful flower become the king of the compassionate trees?

This topic seems incredible, but Xier did it, and did it very well. There are not many people in this world who are more talented than her.

At least in the field of biological alchemy, the only one who dares to say that he is superior to Xier is probably Rhinedort of Gold.

Even Albedo is not necessarily stronger than her.

"You have found your own way now. Are you still obsessed with what happened in the past?" After listening to Xier's story about her experiences in the past year, Saphir asked at the right time.

Xier chuckled and shook her head. After a few seconds, she replied, "I have to say that stealing the supplies from the Fatui was the right thing for me to do. Although I did do something wrong, I will dare to do it again next time!"

"The Fatui's supplies..." Safire almost couldn't hold it in. She shook her head repeatedly, "It's better to just ask for what you want. If you take something without reporting it, it's easy to get into trouble."

Wendy and Xier laughed together. Xier was of course just joking, and Saphir also understood. Seeing Xier become so normal that she was no different from ordinary people, she felt relieved. It seemed that Lisa's original decision was correct.

Only by allowing Xier to have more contact with people outside can she learn about human emotions and establish correct views on life, life and values. Only in this way can she be prevented from becoming a madman like Dotore.

Gulersh's character is trustworthy, and sending Xier to him is indeed an extremely correct choice.

Saphir knew without a doubt how much Guler had paid to make Xier what she is now, and Seno might have helped as well.

Speaking of the House of the Order, Saphir suddenly remembered Falusan who brought back the Dust Song Pot that day.

After bringing Farusan back to the Dust Song Pot, she left the matter to Noel and Nashida, and no one knew how to deal with it afterwards.

Hearing the name Falusan, Xier showed a trace of distress on her face: "Senior Falusan... um... it's very subtle."

"What happened?" Safire was a little confused.

Xi'er shook her head gently: "Not really, it's just that the senior is a little too enthusiastic sometimes, and some... well, I can't handle it."

It turned out that Xier did not stay in the academy all the time in Xumi. The place she went most often was Huachengguo.

At the beginning, he followed Seno. Because of Cole's physical condition, Seno often needed to go to Huacheng Castle and use his own strength to help Cole strengthen the seal inside the body in order to maintain her life.

Later, the forbidden knowledge was solved, and Cole's demonic scale disease was cured, but the demon remnants in his body suddenly erupted because they were no longer restrained by the demonic scale disease. That day was really in danger.

Fortunately, Seno arrived in time and sealed the demon residue in Cole's body again, thus saving Cole's life.

Later, Tinari, Seno and Xier worked together for a long time before finding a solution. Although Cole has not fully recovered, he can now walk freely.

Upon hearing the news, Saphir nodded secretly and decided to completely seal the remnants of the demon in Cole's body later. With the Redemption of the Other Shore and the Holy Spear of Punishment, sealing a remnant of the demon would not be a problem.

After that, Xier would often go to Huacheng Castle to visit Cole, and one time, she ran into Falushan who was also going there.

The two chatted very happily along the way, and it was at that time that Xier got to know this girl who looked young but was actually over a hundred years old.

Although Falushan is a scholar of the Zhilun School, he has profound attainments in mechanical engineering. Logically, all this has nothing to do with Xier of the Sulun School. However, after the other party learned about the relationship between Xier and Saphir, everything became different.

Saphir was the one who rescued Falusan, but he had never appeared in front of her. Falusan's memory stayed at the moment of leaving the ruins. That figure did not stay in front of her eyes for too long, and the situation that day became a dreamlike memory.

But Nashida still told Falusan everything, which led to Falusan developing a strange obsession with Saphir and always wanting to find out things related to her.

The appearance of Xier undoubtedly gave her a great breakthrough. Especially after discovering Xier's words, Falushan was even more surprised, because words are also a kind of text, which is the research content of the Zhilun School. So, this guy wanted to take her as a disciple.

But Xier's teacher was the former sage of the Sulun School, Gulesh. Even a guy like Falushan, who was of a terrifyingly high seniority, would not be able to snatch people from him, so she changed her mind.

Whenever he had nothing to do, he would call Xier to go drinking with him, or to go around Huacheng together, in an attempt to attract her to join the Zhilun faction.

But… the joke about needing to master twenty languages ​​to graduate was also on Faluzan’s lips, which made Xier want to stay away from her. Even the way she looked at Elhaisen became a little strange.

Being targeted by Falushan is indeed a big trouble. As a mentor, she is a qualified teacher, which is undeniable. However, both Xier and Cole have one thing in common, that is, they have already determined their own direction.

Xier is a scholar of the Sulun School, and Cole has not yet joined the Institute of the Church. Even if he joins, he will most likely choose the Shenglun School and continue to study in Huacheng Castle as a student of Tinari, so it is almost impossible to recruit these two people to become his own disciples.

Another equally important point is that Falushan...can hardly apply for research funding.

This is extremely fatal. Although she is knowledgeable and well-informed, the talents that can be recognized by the Ministry of Education are basically in the field of mechanical engineering. This aspect is very popular in the Miaolun School and is almost the pillar project of the Miaolun School. As for the Zhilun School... that is a bit subtle.

After all these years of development, linguistics is no longer what it used to be. To put it bluntly, Falushan can no longer keep up with the trend of the epistemology school. Because of this, as a scholar of the epistemology school, it is difficult for her to apply for funding in her current capacity.

She was a stubborn person and refused to join the Miaolun School no matter what, so she just stayed like that.

Hearing Xi'er's troubles, Saphir could only chuckle and shake his head: "That guy is a wonderful person. Anyway, his nature is not bad. There will be no problem if we get to know him more."

"I understand the logic, but I hope she won't tell me anything about going to the Zhilun Sect anymore. What I want to study is alchemy, not language. As for mechanical engineering..." Xier glanced at Saphir.

In this world, she wanted to learn mechanical engineering. If it was safe, she could go to Saphir. At worst, with her hidden identity as a Fatui, it would be better for her to go to Sandone than to stay in the Order.

It just so happened that Abatoi had completed his research project and returned to Xumi. Sandone had mentioned it to Saphir several times if there were any good talents that could be sent to her for guidance.

In response, Safire declined all the offers. As for the mechanical arts, she could teach them herself and it would be the same. There was no need to send people to Sandone.

It is true that at this point in time, winning over Sandonié could indeed strengthen her power, but the matter of Fontaine had not yet been settled, and Saphir was not sure how her relationship with Fontaine would develop.

It is also doubtful whether Alain Guillotin, the founder of the Fontaine Academy of Sciences, would change his position because of Saffier's subsequent relationship with Fontaine.

Sandone naturally could not be Alan's sister Marian, but in Saphir's guess, perhaps she possessed Alan's consciousness, and the female image on the surface was most likely a substitute made by Alan that was exactly the same as Marian, and Alan's own consciousness was most likely present in that big robot.

Whether it was Alan or Sandoni, Saphir had no idea what kind of people they were. After she figured it out, it would not be too late to consider the matter with Sandoni.

At this moment, Cole and his companions in the distance walked towards the city gate.

Noticing their movements, Xier suggested, "Let's go to the gate of Mondstadt! I guess Senor and the others should be here by now."

"Hmm..." Saphir's expression was a little subtle. She actually didn't want to see Seno.

Xier didn't care about that. She pushed Saphir from behind and said, "Let's go, we haven't seen each other for a long time. It's nice to meet each other, isn't it?"

Safier couldn't do anything about her and had to let her be. As for Wendy, she just chuckled and said that she had no plans to go over for the time being.

The God of Wind is free, so the only people heading to the gate of Mondstadt are Saphir and Seele, who are holding Rimuru.
