Original God's Dark Priest

Saphir, who had nothing to do, came to Mond and wanted to share a piece of the pie with Margaret.

Although Margaret didn't know why Safir came, she just happened to have something to talk to Safir about, so she was quite surprised that he came to her today.

"As the proprietress of an ordinary tavern, I have actually been considering whether to talk to you, but unfortunately, Miss Dark Pastor is very busy and has no time, so this matter has been delayed.

But since we met today, it means that we still have some tacit understanding. "Margaret didn't care about Safir's refusal, but asked Shuyun to serve a glass of wine.

The wine was placed in front of Saphir, but she just glanced at it and did not pick up the glass.

Seeing her reaction, Margaret laughed out loud: "Sure enough, there is something going on. That's great."

"What's good about it? There are not many people in this world who can remain calm when being targeted by me. How can you be sure that my talking to you about something is good news for you?" Saphir put his right leg on his left leg and supported his chin with his hand.

Margaret picked up the drink in front of her, took a sip slowly, and then let out a long sigh: "Because, in my Cat's Tail Tavern, there is nothing that can make people like you break the principles."

The more noble one's status is, the more cautious one needs to be when facing someone like Safire, because sometimes if the benefits are great enough, she might choose to do whatever it takes.

But Margaret thought to herself that she didn't have that kind of thing. As a person of status, Safire would not do such a cheap and dirty thing for a little profit.

This is Margaret's confidence.

The survival rules of the little people.

Saphir watched the relaxed Margaret with interest, and waited for her to swallow the wine in her mouth before speaking: "But, a small figure like you actually got the exclusive rights to the Seven Summonings. You moved so fast that I didn't even react."

"So it's because of this?" Margaret understood, and she said that she had no grudge against this girl, so why did she feel murderous towards her today?

It seems that she is blocking someone's path to wealth.

But to be honest, when it comes to doing business, isn't it all about who moves faster, who is willing to invest, and who is bold but careful?

If it was a normal competition, Margaret would undoubtedly have made a very successful decision.

But... who stipulated that Safir had to compete with others normally? If she had no bottom line and directly overturned the Cat's Tail Tavern, then the management rights would be invalid, and she could still run it exclusively.

And the most crucial point is.

Currently, Safire cannot be restricted by the laws of any country.

It’s not that her actions are legal and compliant, but that there is no sufficient force to punish her.

If you don't have enough force, forget it. If you have enough force, it's impossible for you to offend her to death over such a trivial matter.

So when Margaret took over the management rights, she was taking a gamble. She was betting that Safire would be willing to come and talk to her.

From the very beginning, she never thought that she could run the business exclusively, because with the popularity of the Seven Saints Summoning, more and more people saw business opportunities in it and wanted to get a piece of the pie.

But Gulab and Kavebitra were in the academy city, which was protected by the grass god, so they naturally would not allow others to cause trouble, so Margaret was the person most likely to be targeted.

This is why Margaret hopes that Safir can come over, or rather, she is actually betting that the first person to find her will be Safir.

After all, after the business model of the tavern plus the Seven Summoning Saints was proposed, the popular Cat's Tail Tavern has proved the feasibility of this concept.

There is no reason why Safire, who also runs a pub, would not want to try it.

But Safir's base is in Liyue, and Mondstadt has no industry of hers. What she has to face here is Diluk and other wine merchants.

If we don’t get the exclusive right, if similar stores open up later, or if Diluk wants to operate in the same way, we won’t be able to compete.

If she gets the exclusive rights, someone will definitely come after her for this, either to threaten her or to cooperate with her.

After a little consideration, Margaret thought that the most likely people to arrive first must be Saphir and Diluk.

Saphir is more likely, as Diluk doesn't seem to be too interested in this.

And Safire...

Margaret hopes it is her. On the one hand, it is because of strength. Saphir is stronger than Diluk, there is no doubt about that. The second point is Margaret's own needs.

That is…

"We can cooperate. I'll give you the management rights, and you can help me with the subsequent maintenance." Margaret bent her legs slightly, leaned forward, and got as close to Safire as possible.

Saphir stretched out his hand and pushed her away. This so-called maintenance was actually very simple. Someone wanted to make trouble and wanted to make money by breaking the rules. Saphir stepped in to settle it. But in fact, once the Moonlight Tavern also started the Seven Saints Summoning-related projects...

Most people will stop thinking about this.

Who would think of going to Safire to make him uncomfortable?

Those businessmen can still tell which is more important, money or life.

After realizing this, Saphir looked puzzled: "Is it that simple?"

"Of course not!" Margarita leaned back on the sofa, her right index finger unconsciously twisting her hair, "I also want you to join the Seven Summoning Challenge."

Saphir has never been included in the challenge sequence, which has led to the fact that the End Card and the two Aurora Cards have not been produced.

Players only know that these three cards are powerful, but they don’t know how to obtain them. This is also a gimmick of Kavebitra’s Seven Saints Summoning Competition this time.

You get one for reaching the semi-finals, one for reaching the finals, and another for winning the championship.

In fact, Saphir was not very interested in this. Even if there was an offer, she would not want to agree to it because... it was too troublesome.

Everyone knows that Naka is strong, and everyone knows that they have to defeat her to get it. Then she joins, and there is nothing else to do. Just sit in the tavern every day and play cards with others.

Seeing Saphir's hesitation, Margaret did not force him and immediately proposed an alternative plan: "You can also authorize us. I will set up a challenge event in the tavern and let the little prince complete the challenge for you. What do you think?"

This is actually a good idea. It does not take up Safire's personal time and allows him to take over the management rights of the Moonlight Tavern, killing two birds with one stone.

The key point is that Safire didn't pay anything, he just let Margaret borrow his name, which can be said to be a great profit.

As for whether having the little prince guard the gate would make the challenge too easy...

He is the card master of cats! His card playing skills are much better than most people.

Safir's eyes sparkled. This could be done!

Margaret naturally did not miss Safir's fleeting expression of interest. She slowly raised the wine glass in her hand and said, "Then, with this glass of wine, I wish you a happy cooperation in advance."

Looking at the calm and capable Margaret, Safire couldn't help but smile. She also raised the wine glass in front of her and clinked it with Margaret: "Happy cooperation."

This is the benefit brought by identity and status. You don’t have to do anything, there will always be people who need to rely on strong people who will consider you, and they will also find ways to ensure that you do not suffer losses.

"However, I am still very curious about what benefits you gave to Gulab and Javebita that made them give them exclusive operating rights. It is impossible for them not to know how valuable this is." After finalizing the cooperation matters, Safir felt it necessary to satisfy his curiosity.

Margaret chuckled and looked at Saphir with a hint of ambiguous smile: "Although I am just a small tavern, it doesn't mean that I don't have any connections, right?"

Safire almost guessed it.

It was almost impossible for Gulab and Javebita, two nerds, to start this Seven Saints Summoning competition.

But if Margaret finds someone behind the scenes to help organize it, it would be possible to complete the linkage of the four countries. At this moment, Safire realized that perhaps this woman was not as simple as people thought.

After all, the organizer of this competition is the Adventurer's Association, which is approved by Sandoni. Margaret is actually related to Sandoni? Saphir took a deep look at the woman in front of him and said nothing.

When it comes to business, everyone gets what they need. The Seven Summonings is not a game that cannot be reproduced. Gulab and Javevida can provide the game itself and subsequent DLC, while Margaret can be responsible for operations and other tedious matters.

Safir wants to use its reputation and power to provide a stable operating environment, which is a win-win situation. Knowing this, cooperation is naturally the best choice.

After all, they are indispensable.

On the other side, Ying, Paimon and Diona were still talking.

Diona denied Paimon's suggestion that the Cat's Tail Tavern was conducting cross-border business: "No, no, a customer just stored the goods here and asked the courier company to pick them up at the store. I don't mind."

As she spoke, she became interested in Inazuma instead: "You've been to Inazuma too, right? Are there really... a lot of monsters like that sister there?"

“…There are some with fox ears.” Ying instantly thought of a pink-haired fox lady, and of course, there is also a white-haired fox lady.

Little Paimon also nodded and added, "Well, two tails growing on one hand... This seems to be the first time Ying and I have seen this."

After all, Nekomata is not a common monster, so Kirara is also considered a relatively rare monster. It is normal that Ying and the others have never seen it.

After hearing what they said, Diona immediately showed a longing expression: "Wow... If I have the chance, I really want to go and see it. By the way, what do you want to see me for?"

Little Paimon then remembered the main reason for coming here this time: "Oh, right, I almost forgot, Diona, do you know about the Seven Saints Summoning Competition that is being held recently? The kind with prize money!"

"Competition?" Diona thought for a moment and immediately responded, "Oh, you are talking about the one held by the Adventurer's Association recently, right? It's quite large, even the posters were shipped from Inazuma.

However, I didn’t sign up because I had to take care of the business in the store, so I don’t know the details. You should ask the lady boss.”

"Okay! If we get the bonus, we will treat Diona to delicious food!" Little Paimon nodded immediately and made this small promise.

After hearing what little Paimon said, little Dionna immediately put her hands on her hips and puffed out her chest, looking proud and said, "Well, of course, I was the one who taught you how to play cards!"

As Ying and Paimon's introductory instructor in the Seven Summonings, Diona is quite proud of herself.

Seeing this, Ying chuckled and nodded: "Thank you, Teacher Diona, wait for our good news."

"Hehe~Okay, it just so happens that the boss lady didn't go out today. She's right here in the tavern. You can go in and find her directly." Diona didn't have much time, so she asked Ying and the others to go find Margaret.

"Okay! Let's go find her now." Little Paimeng had already been dazzled by the bonus and couldn't wait a moment longer.

In the private room of the Cat's Tail Tavern, Margaret, who was chatting with Saphir, heard the noisy voice of the little guy coming from outside the door: "Margaret! Margaret!"

Then, the door of the private room was opened, and the two little faces appeared in front of them.

Seeing the two of them, Margaret smiled slightly: "Hey, Ying and Paimon? Long time no see, are you back to Mond to play cards?"

Safir glanced at the proprietress who was pretending to be surprised. This guy still needs to hone his acting skills. This is too fake.

But she naturally wouldn't say this to their faces. Instead, she turned her head to look at the two funny guys at the door and raised her hand: "Oh, what a coincidence."

"Saphir?! Why are you here too?" Little Paimon was shocked. She never thought that she would see Saphir in the Cat's Tail Tavern.

After all, the other party had never shown much interest in the Seven Saints Summoning, and she thought Saphir didn't like it.

Little Paimon has subconsciously tied the Cat's Tail Tavern and the Seven Summonings together. This is the brand effect.

Saphir tilted his head and chuckled, "I came to discuss business with the boss lady. We've already finished the discussion. Do you need me to step aside?"

"No, no, no, no thanks. It's not an important matter." Little Paimon waved his hands repeatedly.

This is her most important supporter and she cannot neglect him. No matter how important the matter is, she will not let Safir avoid it.

Ying was much more direct than Paimon. She ran to Saphir, pulled out a sofa, sat down, and then moved closer.

Saphir didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at the stupid face getting closer and closer to him. He reached out and pinched Ying's cheek and pushed her back.

She didn't dislike it, but... well, okay, she did dislike it: "Don't you want to talk to Margaret? Don't keep her waiting for too long. It's rude."

Her words shocked Margaret. Did this person still have any manners?

Ying immediately straightened her sitting posture and looked at Margaret seriously: "Margaret, I want to ask you about the competition recently held by the Adventurer's Association."

"Oh, are you talking about the Adventure King Grand Prix?" How could Margaret not know this? After all, it was she who initiated this, but few people knew about it.

Little Paimon nodded immediately: "Yes, that's it, can you tell us some news?"

"Hmm... where should I start?" Margaret bent her right index finger and put it against her chin. After thinking for a while, she said, "Because more and more people are playing Seven Summonings recently.

The Adventurer's Association simply opened a venue in each city and held the Summoning King Grand Prix. The prizes were also very generous.

The Mondstadt Division has reached the finals. I’m afraid you won’t be able to get the prizes…”

"Huh? Why is this happening... We promised Diona that we would treat her to a meal." Little Paimon felt very disappointed and regretful.

Margaret spread her hands indifferently: "It's okay. If you miss it this time, there will always be next time. Just like who could have thought that this card game would become so popular?"

Saphir gave her a look of contempt again. This woman's acting was too fake. If it happened to be this game, wasn't Margaret the first one?

"The person who invented the Seven Saints Summoning must be very happy now, right? After all, so many people like to play his game." Margaret looked up at the sky, as if gazing out into the distance.

Safir held his forehead in his hand speechlessly. This was probably how the traveler was fooled.

According to Margaret, Gulab and Javebito, who were overjoyed, were now working on the insect repellent and pesticide spraying of the sacred trees in Xumi City with sad faces.

The one supervising them was none other than Xier.

"I say Xier...it's almost okay. We were just...careless for a moment. It really wasn't intentional." Kavebi said with a bitter face to Xier who was wearing a mask beside him.

Xier shrugged, looking helpless: "I'm sorry, senior, I can't do anything about this. After all, this is my sister's request, and the order was given by Lord Pal himself. Even Lady Nashida cannot disobey it."

Now everyone in Xumi knows that at the top of the virtual world is the Grass God, and above the Grass God is the Grass God’s mother.

But only very few people know that above the Grass God’s mother there is a very mysterious “Grass Grandma”.

Now Gulab and Javebito are undergoing trials because they have offended Grass Granny.
