Original God's Dark Priest

With Ying's ability to use the teleportation anchor point, Charlotte no longer had to travel through mountains and rivers. Through the transfer of the Chen Ge Pot, she arrived at Liyue Harbor in just a moment.

Charlotte was deeply shocked by this, but as an outstanding journalist, she forced herself to quickly accept the situation.

In fact, what surprised her more was Saphir, because this guy did not transit through the Dust Song Pot at all, but came to Liyue from Mondstadt in an instant in his own way.

Compared to Ying's method, Saphir's hard-powered long-distance raid is more surprising.

They finally chose to gather on the bridge on the north side of Liyue Harbor.

When Ying and the others arrived here through the Dongtian Pass, Saphir was already leaning on the railing by the bridge, gazing at Liyue Harbor in the distance.

Little Paimon was not shocked by Saphir's speed at all. He would rather admire the scenery of Liyue Harbor. No matter how many times he came here, the prosperity and bustle of Liyue Harbor seemed to carry a hint of indescribable fireworks that could instantly wash away people's mental and physical fatigue.

It's like coming home.

Looking at Safir who was in a daze, Ying felt that she must have been proud of Liyue being her hometown.

No, it shouldn’t be before. In fact... Saphir has never shown any rejection of his identity as a Liyue person.

"The Hearth House adopts children from all over the world." Ying remembered what Saphir once said.

"The children of Mondstadt, the children of Inazuma, the children of Xumi, the children of Fontaine, and the children of Zhidong." Saphir stared at the bustling port in the distance without blinking, but her voice echoed in Ying's mind, "There are no children from Liyue in Hearth House.

It's not that we don't accept them, but that we don't have any. What is the difference between Liyue and other kingdoms? I can't really tell, maybe it's because this kingdom is a kingdom that walks with gods?

However, the gods will not always keep an eye on every family to prevent disasters from happening to them, to prevent the people of Liyue from being separated from their wives and children and their families from being broken up. There are orphans in Liyue as well, but the orphans in Liyue will always be properly resettled.

This was also the oath that Emperor Yanwang once made.

In a country that walks with God, God will fulfill his will to protect. Even if he does not appear so often, but... he will watch.

That man always silently paid attention to every blade of grass and every tree in Liyue, day and night. In this small space, he protected Liyue for a thousand years. "

Safir likes Liyue. She deeply loves everyone in Liyue and is willing to give more patience and guidance to all Liyue people without asking for anything in return. Perhaps, in her opinion, this is her...duty.

After a long time, as if she had seen enough, Saphir finally turned around, and then her silver-white hair gradually turned into a deep black, and her scarlet eyes also turned into the color of black crystal, and she switched to Seraph mode.

It was just a change of form, but her momentum suddenly rose a lot. If Saphir was sharp and powerful just now, like a blade out of its sheath, then now she was like the deep sea, peaceful but full of power.

“Ms. Reporter from Fontaine, welcome to my hometown: Liyue. I hope you will be happy with your experience here.” She looked very serious.

This made Ying a little overwhelmed. It was the first time she saw Saphir show such emotions.

Charlotte stared at Saphir blankly, and nodded slightly after a long time. Although she didn't know why Saphir, who grew up in Fontaine, would say such a thing, Charlotte still agreed.

Throwing away the strange thoughts in her mind, Charlotte looked at the port in the distance, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled: "Thousands of ships are arriving, and thousands of merchants are coming. Is this the scene you are talking about? Well, seeing is believing."

Just as she was sighing, a woman in red came quietly and bowed slightly to Saphir: "Sorry to have kept you waiting, Lady Aurora. I am here to welcome you on the orders of Lady Ningguang."

Then she looked at Ying, Little Paimon and Charlotte: "Thank you for your hard journey, welcome to Liyue Harbor. Lady Ningguang has been waiting for a long time."

Seeing the woman, little Paimeng immediately recalled: "Huh? You are Ningguang's secretary, named Bai...Bai..."

"My name is Baiwen, and I'm responsible for helping Lord Ningguang collect and organize intelligence." Baiwen immediately introduced himself.

Speaking of which, although Baiwen, Baishi, Baixiao look different, because their names are similar and their responsibilities are similar, many people cannot distinguish them at first glance, and they are often confused with each other.

The three of them were already used to this.

Little Paimeng immediately looked as if he had remembered: "Yes, yes, Baiwen, the other two are Baishi and Baixiao, I remembered correctly!"

"Ningguang? Is she Lady Ningguang from Tianquan Star of the Seven Stars of Liyue?" Charlotte had heard of the name Ningguang, and at this moment she suddenly realized.

When Saphir went to Fontaine under the pseudonym Silver Wolf, he was indeed there with a mission for Ningguang. Because of her operation, Fontaine's focus recently has been on the Opiclay Opera House, and a patrol channel is under construction.

It is said that this new waterway will pass through the Mortai District and enter the Chenyu Valley in Liyue territory. Not only that, the second half will also be built from Chenyu Valley to Liyue Port.

It can be said that this new route was established jointly by Liyue, Fontaine, Fatui, and the Rose of Thorns.

The purpose declared to the outside world is to promote exchanges between Fontainebleau and Liyue. For Fontainebleau, this is naturally of no harm, after all, Liyue has already solved the funding problem.

The construction is done by the Fatui.

Because of Arlecchino's influence in Fontaine, the Fatui's reputation in Fontaine is not too bad. Although there are many rumors about Arlecchino, her Buffati Mansion is a real welfare home.

No country would make things difficult for the director of an orphanage, and Alecino was no exception.

What Charlotte couldn't figure out was actually how Saphir convinced Ningguang to invest in the construction of this route. You know, as a commercial capital, Liyue has no shortage of transaction volume, let alone businessmen. There is no need to spend such a high price on such infrastructure for limited benefits.

But she just did it.

Considering what Saphir just said, his hometown... and Baiwen's way of addressing Saphir: Lady Aurora.

Aurora is Saphir's winter name. Many people know this and it is no secret. An executive of the Fatui has great say in Liyue, which makes Charlotte curious.

But she also knew very well that this curiosity could never be satisfied, because life was more important.

Little Paimon knew about the relationship between Saphir and Liyue, so this was not a problem at all in her opinion. Perhaps she was too used to it, and she even ignored the strange point that Charlotte found.

She then began to wonder why Ningguang was looking for them: "Yes, it's her, but why did Ningguang look for us? Oh, that's not right... I should say how did Ningguang know that we were coming to Liyue Harbor today?"

"Stupid little Paimeng, didn't I just tell you that Saphir had already informed us in advance." Ying looked at little Paimeng with disdain. It was really embarrassing for her that he couldn't even figure out such an obvious problem!

Bai Wen covered his mouth and chuckled, then nodded: "Ms. Aurora's advance notice is certainly important, but Mistress Ningguang has great connections, and even without advance notice, nothing can get out of her intelligence network.

This time, I want to invite this Fontaine reporter, Miss Charlotte, to come to Yujingtai to sit down and discuss some cooperation matters."

"Eh? Looking for me? But this is my first time in Liyue Harbor." Charlotte was a little confused. In her opinion, she was just an ordinary reporter and not worthy of Ningguang's attention.

Bai Wen shook his head, glanced at Saphir, and then said, "Lady Ningguang has long heard that there is a reporter in the Steambird Newspaper who is efficient and sharp in writing. His reports seem to be eye-catching, but at their core they are based on facts. She admires this very much.

Lady Ningguang also knows everything, including the fact that you were sent to another country to report on the Seven Sages Summoning because the truth revealed in your exclusive news touched upon certain interest groups."

"What? Charlotte, you are so miserable?" Little Paimon was immediately angry. In her opinion, Charlotte was already her friend, how could she be bullied like this?

Charlotte waved her hand slightly and said soothingly, "It's nothing, it's nothing. This is a common thing. I'm used to it." After that, she turned her head and looked at Bai Wen, "I didn't expect that Lord Ningguang knew this. Could it be that he knows our boss?"

"Hehe, it's not surprising that Ningguang knows everything." Little Paimeng said that you just need to get used to it. In her opinion, Ningguang is so omniscient and omnipotent, which is normal.

Saphir said nothing. After all, she couldn't say that she informed Ningguang because she was optimistic about Charlotte and was prepared to take care of her here and pave the way for Ying's trip to Fontaine.

I'd better not say anything about it. It's true and false, there's no need to make it so clear. It's tiring.

Bai Wen saw that Saphir had a calm expression and didn't look angry at all, so he said to Ying and Paimon with peace of mind: "If you two are interested, Lady Ningguang also welcomes you to go together."

"Eh? So you are so familiar with Lady Ningguang?" Charlotte looked at Ying in surprise, but then she thought, Ying and Saphir have such a good relationship, it doesn't seem strange that they have a common friend.

Little Paimeng immediately said with some pride: "I am a little familiar with him. I just often come and go in the Jade Pavilion and am respected as an honored guest."

"Are you still feeling complacent?" Ying thought it was abominable that this little guy was acting like a bully. She felt like eating emergency food.

Little Paimeng scratched his head in embarrassment, then said seriously: "But... we won't join in the fun when it comes to work, right?

It would be better to ask around in the city for news about the card thief while waiting for Charlotte to come back."

"Is it really possible?" Charlotte was actually quite nervous. After all, she couldn't guarantee that she could continue to work with Ying after meeting Ningguang. It would be great if she was willing to wait for her.

Ying gave her a reassuring look: "It's just a small favor, and you can go shopping here and there, which is not bad."

"Thank you for your hard work. We can exchange information later. To be honest, I am also very interested in this Lady Ningguang and I really want to meet her right away." Charlotte said, and then looked at Saphir, "What is Miss Saphir going to do next?"

Saphir smiled and said, "I will walk around Liyue Harbor with Ying and the others first, and we will meet at the Yanshang Teahouse where we eat Tiger Rock later. Mona will be nearby too."

"Oh! No problem!" Charlotte nodded immediately when she heard Mona was there. She still remembered that the things she wanted to deliver had not been delivered yet. After getting Mona's exact location, she felt a little better.

Bai Wen saw that they had finished their conversation, and then he spoke: "Well, Miss Charlotte, please follow me. We will go first, Lady Aurora, Miss Ying and Paimon."

Charlotte followed Baiwen and left.

Watching them leave, Paimeng sighed, "I didn't expect Charlotte to be quite capable. I don't know what the exclusive news was about.

If this incident is written into a report, we will also appear in the exclusive news! Hehe! I always feel like I am going to be famous. "

"This is not necessarily a good thing." Safire said with a chuckle. Because of the bloody case, she was a person who had indeed made headlines and became more famous, but it was all a bad reputation.

Even now, her reputation has not been completely forgotten in Fontaine. Even to this day, there are still rumors that anyone who enters Melo Petersburg will meet her and be killed.

Of course, this also indirectly reduced the crime rate in Fontaine. After all, there was a demon who killed people without blinking an eye there, so it was normal for everyone to be a little afraid of him.

Little Paimon didn't quite understand what Saphir said. She tilted her head and said, "Saphir seems to be reluctant to be in the newspaper. Is there any reason?"

"The Fatui executives cannot accept interviews at will. This is a diplomatic event with a strict approval process. So if Charlotte writes about me, her report will not be published." Safire explained simply.

Little Paimeng nodded, not quite understanding, and then became a little discouraged: "Is that so? Then there is no hope, right?"

"That's why Safir didn't intervene this time." Ying reached out and rubbed the little guy's head, "She is leaving us a chance."

"Well... Saphir, you're so nice!" Little Paimon immediately wanted to act coquettishly, but Saphir was in Seraph mode. She did not get into the other's clothes, but spoke with gratitude.

Safir didn't want to continue this topic, so he said, "Okay, you guys start investigating from the dock. There are a lot of people coming and going there, and there may be witnesses. I'll accompany you."

The three of them walked towards the pier.

On the way, Ying hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to ask: "Saphir, I want to ask you something."

"Just ask directly. I'll tell you everything I can." Safire agreed without looking away.

Ying frowned slightly. What this meant was that she would never mention a word about what could not be said.

But she still felt she had to give it a try, so she asked, "Do you know...'Su'?"

Hearing the name Su, Saphir paused, then looked at the nervous Ying and asked, "Where did you hear this name?"

"I...saw it...in the earth veins." Ying calculated for a moment and felt that what she said was not wrong. She had indeed seen Su in the image left in the earth veins.

Saphir was a little suspicious: "The Adventers don't enter the earth veins. As a member of the Adventers, how could you see me in the earth veins?"

"You?" Ying keenly perceived the meaning behind Safir's words.

Saphir nodded: "Su is the abbreviation of the name 'Su Jin'. It is named after the surname only. This name also has traces of naming rules. It is an act of borrowing power from 'oneself'.

So, it is not a problem to say that Su is me. Of course, I am not Su, we are related but not exactly the same. It should be said that 'Su' is a part of 'Saphir', and the Saphir here is not me, but 'Archangel Saphir'.

The relationship between the two is a bit like that between Chenxi and me. Because the true meaning of the name cannot be supported, the name must be given by oneself. "Safir explained.

Ying nodded, not quite understanding. Although she didn't understand, it seemed that Su was not as powerful as Saphir.

Afterwards, she told him everything that had happened to her in Weimo Village.

Saphir understood immediately. It seemed that this was left for her by her last reincarnation. She had not expected that she had been involved with the abyss for a long time.

Then, the attitude of the Abyss towards her at the beginning was very clear. It was trying to drag her into the abyss. Presumably, it had witnessed Su's strength.

The more Saphir thought about it, the more certain he became. But at the same time, he was a little confused. He didn't know what role Kong played in this matter.
