Original God's Dark Priest

As Charlotte spoke, she analyzed the situation in her mind. Suddenly, she asked another question: "Is it possible that they have a reason to stay there?"

"Well, this is also a question I still don't understand." Coral Palace Xinhai did not deny this guess, "What is the purpose of the Phantom Thieves? What kind of secret is hidden on the back of this deck?

I'm afraid you can only know it by seeing the back of the cards yourself."

Coral Palace Xinhai's words made Qi Liangliang panic. She was a courier, and the principle of customer first did not allow her to do anything inappropriate with the goods, so she decisively stated her position: "What are you doing? Don't look at me like that! I will never open a customer's package!

This…if the company finds out, I’ll be fired! I don’t want to go back to the wild mountains of Inazuma and be some big monster!”

Qi Liangliang is a monster who has seen the world. As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

She had seen the light, so she could not stand the darkness. If she lost her job, she would lose her foothold in the human society of Inazuma, and she would go back to being a kitten that no one cared about, eating raw food every day, having to hunt for herself, and having no nice clothes to wear.

How is it possible to bear this?

Seeing her panic, Saphir laughed and said, "What are you afraid of? Just join the Fatui. I'll pay you a salary and you can live a more comfortable life than you do now."

"Yes, with Saphir here, isn't this also a way out?" Little Paimon immediately began to seriously analyze the feasibility of this matter.

But Coral Palace Xinhai coughed lightly and looked at Paimon: "Paimon." She shook her head, signaling the other party not to speak.

Little Paimon then quieted down and looked at Qi Liangliang.

Qi Liangliang was caught in a dilemma. On one side was his favorite job and the daily routine he was most accustomed to, and on the other side was his favorite teacher Su Jin and the unknown, which seemed like a very good future.

After struggling for several seconds, Qi Liangliang finally shook his head: "No, I can't do this. Although I am not a human, I also have a conscience."

Kirara Ryo didn't know what it meant to be passionate about what you do, nor did she know what responsibility was, but she knew that the manager of Komagariya took her in and gave her hope to live.

She didn't want to hurt the other person. Even if she left, she would do the job at hand well and leave without any burden. That would be the reasonable behavior, instead of just quitting or even ending her career in such an ignominious way.

After hearing her reply, Safire was stunned for a few seconds, and finally laughed out loud: "Yes, that's right. If you just give up this job without any burden, I might think you are useless."

She was indeed serious just now, but she didn't expect to get this little cat to work under her again. After all, Qi Liangliang was a scumbag, and it would not be so easy to poach him.

Seeing that Safir didn't seem to be angry, Qi Liangliang breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "Teacher Su Jin, are you really going to let me resign?" Qi Liangliang was a little nervous. She really didn't want to make such a difficult choice. It was too torturous.

"Don't worry, why would I force you? If you like this job, just keep working hard. When you get bored and tired one day, you can come to me. Then I'll see if I want you to join." It's not easy to be Saphir's subordinate.

She is the most easy-going executive, but she is also the one who gives the least precise instructions.

If the captain's subordinates follow orders and act most like soldiers, then her subordinates need the most initiative.

She rarely gives particularly detailed orders, but only makes general requests and then leaves it to her subordinates to complete. She doesn't care what method is used in the process. She just arranges all the logistics and waits for the results.

Therefore, Safir's subordinates and the captain's subordinates are two extremes. One is a highly centralized regular army, and the other is a special forces with distinct personality and independence.

Coral Palace Xinhai looked at them quietly. With her emotional intelligence, she could naturally understand what Saphir meant, so she spoke: "Actually, we don't mean to embarrass Miss Qi Liangliang..."

She did have a plan, but in her opinion, this method... was a little unfair: "Things have come to this point, why not let everyone accompany Miss Qi Liangliang to Xumi."

Little Paimon followed up and agreed: "Yes, yes, we won't ask about unnecessary things. We're just afraid that if the other party is a bad guy, you will be in danger. If we go together, everyone can protect you."

"Leave it to me, I can give you anything!" Ying immediately put her hands on her hips and chest out, imitating Noel's words.

Looking at the two people who made the promise, a hint of helplessness flashed across Coral Palace Xinhai's eyes. She actually... didn't mean that.

Qi Liangliang was a little confused. She felt that she didn't need such protection, so she said, "I'm also a good fighter! I haven't lost a single package since I started working here!

Those guys who came to steal my things because they thought I was easy to bully were all beaten away by me!"

Qi Liangliang seemed a little proud when she spoke. She was not a vase, her claws were very sharp!

Ying scratched her head, not knowing how to continue persuading.

At this time, Saphir came up, touched Qi Liangliang's cat ears, and said softly: "You should go with everyone... After all, it won't have any impact."

"Won't it be too much trouble?" Qi Liangliang wanted to refuse, but suddenly met Saphir's eyes. For some reason, she swallowed and nodded in agreement.

Teacher Su Jin's eyes were a little scary. It didn't look like she was discussing anything. She was sure she had seen this look before. When was the last time she saw it? Qi Liangliang couldn't remember clearly, but she vaguely felt that someone must have been in bad luck that time.

After trying hard to recall, Qiliangliang remembered that it was in Fontaine, and Saphir had the same look in his eyes when he helped Chiori deal with her competitors.

It's obvious that he has bad intentions, and it seems that this time is the same.

"Yeah, very good." Safir rubbed the other's head and said with a smile, "Don't worry, we will hide far away and won't let others see it. This way it won't affect your work, right?"

Qi Liangliang grabbed the hand on his head and nodded quickly: "I know that Teacher Su Jin is the best and will think about me."

Safir and Coral Palace Xinhai looked at each other and curled their lips together.

Just because Ying and the others are naive doesn’t mean these two are also naive.

What Coral Palace Xinhai couldn't say was actually very simple: thieves rob each other.

Coral Palace Xinhai naturally couldn't say such a thing, as it was contrary to her character setting. But Saphir was different. She was a villain who committed murder and arson. Black eating black? It was no big deal.

Although she couldn't tell Ying directly what to do, with Saphir by her side, there would be no problem. Coral Palace Xinhai smiled and thought she was still worrying too much. There was no need for her to worry about such a small matter.

It was getting late, so the group decided to spend the night in Inazuma and go to Sumeru tomorrow.

The problem of accommodation at night was easily solved. After all, they were all people with Dongtian Guanke, so there was no need to worry. Because Safier and Ying came from afar, the society executive had prepared a banquet in the Mulou Tea House as a banquet for them.

Not only Saphir and his companions, but also Coral Palace Xinhai and Wu Lang were among the invited guests.

Next to the Mulou Teahouse is a branch of the Moonlight Tavern, and Saphir happened to have some requirements for decoration and business operations to issue, so it was just right for him to stop by.

When she was renovating the Moonlight Tavern, Kitsusaigumi, as the most frequent patron of the Inazuma senior staff, naturally came over to watch the fun. She even called it a supervision.

Before the banquet at Mulou Teahouse started, Saphir came to the Moonlight Tavern branch, and Grusha, the manager, stood outside the door, eagerly waiting.

She was just an ordinary firefly sorcerer under Saphir. It was a surprise that she was able to take over the Moonlight Tavern, so she tried her best to do it well.

It turned out that she did have the ability to do so. By importing foreign liquors and using this as a gimmick, the Moonlight Tavern quickly attracted a group of loyal customers.

Not only that, she also took advantage of Saphir's friendship with Yae Shinko and had many collaborations with Yaedou.

Grusha is a fan of collaboration. After hearing about this, Saphir was very curious, so he asked: "Yaedo collaboration? How did you do it?"

"Hehe~Your Excellency may not know that as a leader in the novel publishing industry, Yaedo often has the need to organize gatherings. Whether it is a writer's book signing or a symposium, including regularly held seminars, they all require venues!" Grusha said eloquently with a proud look on her face:

“Even though Yaetang’s current performance is very good, it was originally an organization founded by the son of the Yae God for fun, so they have always had a big problem, which is the lack of land.

The land cannot be conjured up, and Yaegami spends most of her time working at the Narukami Taisha Shrine, so it is difficult to see her. Therefore, although the problem of insufficient space has existed for a long time, there is no way to solve it. On the one hand, she cannot be seen, and on the other hand, this problem is difficult to solve without affecting the operation of Yaegado.

Therefore, Yaejinko will not spend time on this aspect, and the only way for Yaetang to solve this problem is to reduce group activities and reduce the demand for venues. "

Safir nodded when he heard this. This was indeed the case. Many times, some minor and difficult problems were solved in this way. It was not that those people were impatient, but that they really did not have the ability. This was no one's fault.

Those who are capable don't pay attention, and those who pay attention cannot solve the problem. This is a gap.

Grusha continued, "It just so happens that the store that the adults bought is quite spacious, and there are also private rooms on the second floor, so I had a few private rooms connected to form a large one, which can be lent to Yaedo when they need it, so that they can hold activities here.

When it comes to book signings, it’s very simple. You just set up a stand at the door, use the characters in the book as the theme, launch a few drinks, and sell them in bundles with the books. You can often get good sales figures.”

Saphir's eyes brightened as he looked at Grusha. This girl is indeed a good business person! It seems that it was not wrong to hand over the Moonlight Tavern branch to her!

They can also stimulate consumption by linking drinks, and rent venues to generate revenue. While making money, they also sell favors to Yaedo. This little head is full of wisdom.

Safier felt that Grusha was just like a little Ningguang, and he was even more satisfied with her.

After talking about Yaedo, Grusha mentioned Naganohara Fireworks Shop again: "Speaking of which, we also have cooperation with Naganohara Fireworks Shop."

"Fireworks? How can that thing be related to alcohol?" Safire was a little confused and didn't understand how the two were connected.

Grusha chuckled and explained, "It's actually very simple. We just need to select some of the various drinks we are launching, associate the corresponding fireworks names with them, and then sign a contract with the Naganohara Fireworks Store. Through activities such as buying drinks and giving away fireworks coupons, the two will be more firmly bound together."

"It would be very costly to do this." Safire immediately realized the problem.

Fireworks are never cheap. Although the Naganohara Fireworks Shop looks like a small workshop and gives people a very friendly feeling, in fact, the cost of fireworks themselves is not low anyway.

When Naganohara Ryunosuke was in charge of the fireworks shop, the shop was actually quite small and the variety of fireworks was very limited. With Naganohara Yoshimiya taking over, the business of the fireworks shop became better and better. Of course, this was inseparable from Yoshimiya's research and the help of the Eye of God.

If Grusha wants to create a strong binding relationship between alcohol and fireworks, he must make advance payments in advance. The fireworks coupons given away when buying alcohol are basically paid for by the Moonlight Tavern.

Although large transaction volume can reduce the purchase price of each item, it is definitely impossible to lower it to the cost price. Moreover, the number of employees in Naganohara Fireworks Shop is limited, so for such a large order, they also have to consider whether the other party can take it.

Grusha was naturally well aware of Saphir's concerns. She smiled slightly and pointed to some employees who were running errands in the lobby: "The cost of a fireworks store is not low, but it is more about time cost and employee cost. Miss Naganohara did have such doubts at the beginning.

But it would be different if we sent some Fatui who can use the element of fire to help. And this would only benefit her, because I promised her that she could buy a stake in the Moonlight Tavern, and she doesn't need to invest, but only needs to ensure the supply of fireworks."

The labor costs and time costs were all wiped out, and Xiaogong was equivalent to investing in technology. She did not lose money, but Grusha definitely made a lot of money.

With the support of the Hearth House, the Moonlight Tavern has no shortage of people. The biggest advantage of doing this is that it can reduce the cost of this collaboration to the extreme, while also using the reputation of Naganohara Fireworks Shop to advertise itself.

The most important thing is that the people sent out are not just there to work, they can learn the other party's fireworks-making techniques while working.

Saphir could see that this girl, Grusha, was probably planning to kick out Naganohara Fireworks Shop after learning the essence, and then open a better one of her own. This was a normal phenomenon of capital merger and survival of the fittest in the market.

Thinking of this, the corners of Saphir's mouth twitched. She didn't know whether she should praise Grusha. This method was a bit too dirty.

Seeing that her expression was not right, Grusha seemed to have expected it and said, "Master Dark Priest, are you dissatisfied with my actions?"

"Xiao Gong is not a fool. She shouldn't agree to your proposal." Saphir's voice was indifferent and there was no emotion in it.

Grusha nodded when she heard this. Just as Saphir said, Naganohara Aoi did not agree at first.

She scratched the back of her head and smiled brightly: "Yes, she didn't accept my proposal at first, until I revealed my identity, then she nodded and agreed."

"Identity?" Saphir was stunned. "What identity?"

"As for her identity as your subordinate, she agreed without hesitation after knowing it. Isn't it interesting?" Grusha laughed, with a calculating gleam in her eyes.

Safir's eyes darkened. She felt that she needed to teach this girl a lesson. She was relying on her capital to squeeze out and suppress other merchants. This was absolutely not allowed.

What's more, the other party was Xiao Gong. She was her first limited five-star character. Such a brilliant, beautiful, lively and smart girl, she really couldn't bear to see the look of loss in the other party's eyes.

"Grusha, cooperation must be sincere. You'd better put away your little tricks." Safier reminded him, and Grusha immediately put away her smile.

After taking a serious look at Saphir and making sure that there was no joking on her face, Grusha breathed a sigh of relief: "Ah, that's what I thought at the beginning. I don't want to bully that store manager either."
