Original God's Dark Priest

The two of them acted immediately and ran out of Aru Village, following the prompter to look for Tinari.

Just looking for them was not enough, little Paimeng also had to shout, for fear that others would not know that they were here.

After shouting for a long time, there was no response at all, and I ended up shouting myself dry-mouthed.

Little Paimeng fell silent with some frustration, and followed Ying to the location indicated by the signal transmitter: "Strange, the location indicated by the transmitter should be nearby."

She seemed a little unwilling and shouted a few more times, but still no response.

Instead, Ying accidentally discovered the whereabouts of Tinari. At this time, Tinari was unable to move due to the hot environment, and was huddled in a cooler place with his eyes closed to rest.

"Why did Tinari faint? Let's go and help him!" Little Paimon soon noticed Tinari's voice and hurriedly urged Ying to run over.

The two came to Tinari, and little Paimon asked with concern: "Tinari, are you okay?"

"Mmm... so hot..." Tinari moaned weakly.

His words made Paimon feel more at ease. If it was hot, then it wouldn't be a big problem. At least he wasn't in danger. "So it was hot. Could it be that Tinari is not used to operating in the desert?"

"That's right... Every time I came to the desert before, I would prepare a lot of water to avoid this situation." Tinari closed his eyes, as if not opening his eyes could relieve the unbearable heat.

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at Ying and the others: "We finished the water very quickly this time, and coupled with the influence of the turbulent earth veins, our heads started to feel dizzy.

Speaking of which, one of my ancestors, Balokashuna, actually came from the desert. However, when species migrate... they often cannot adapt to the original environment..."

"Now is not the time to talk about this. We have to find water quickly--" Xiao Paimeng urged anxiously.

Tinari shook his head and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xier's voice: "I just left for a few minutes and you fired the flare...

Really, Senior, you knew you couldn't handle it, but you insisted on joining in the fun."

"I'm sorry, Xier, I didn't expect it to be so uncomfortable..." Tinari smiled bitterly, but saw Xier rolling her eyes.

But she rolled her eyes because she was angry that he didn't care about her body. She still had to take care of it. Xier took out her own water and handed it to him: "Drink it quickly, and take a good rest after drinking it. If you really can't do it, don't participate in this round."

Tinari didn't act pretentiously. He took the water bag and took a big gulp. Then he reacted: "You water bag..."

"Don't worry, I haven't drunk it. Do you still look down on me?" Xier put her hands on her hips, her eyes sharp.

Tinari shook his head, "How could that be? I'm just curious about what you should do with yourself now that you gave me the water."

"What can I do? Let's go find it. I'm not thirsty. If the teacher knew that I didn't save you, I'm afraid he would break my legs." Xier squatted down and touched Tinari's forehead with her fingers. "Fortunately, you don't have a fever. It's just a mild symptom of heatstroke."

"Sorry for burdening you." Tinari lowered his head and sighed.

Xier curled her lips. She didn't care about it. She was just participating in the competition for fun anyway.

Little Paimon asked worriedly, "Tinari is in this state now, do you still plan to continue participating in the competition?"

Tinari looked at Xi'er, met her warning eyes, and smiled: "The hair on the tail has dried up. I don't think it's necessary to hold on."

He himself had the same idea, but Xier was worried that if he continued to insist, something bad would happen sooner or later. In that case, forget it, the main purpose of this competition had already been achieved.

Giving up very freely, Tinari supported himself on the ground and barely stood up: "It seems that I am not suitable for this round of competition. In this case, it is better to go back to Aru Village and rest early."

"Eh? Is Tinari planning to give up?" Little Paimeng was a little surprised. You know, as the first place in the first round, Tinari is the favorite to win the championship. If he gives up, others will definitely get four points, and then he will have to give up the first place.

Tinari nodded and admitted this: "Yes, with the points from the first round as a foundation, even if we don't win anything in the second round, we still have a chance to turn things around in the next round.

If I withdraw now, I can still recuperate. It would be meaningless to continue wasting time."

"I support it too." Ying nodded. She felt that Tinari's choice was correct.

Xi'er's expression improved a lot: "In that case, I'll take you back."

"No need, I can go back by myself." Tinari quickly refused. He was too embarrassed to ask Seno's junior schoolmate to take him back. It was already embarrassing to be taken care of in the competition. If he asked her to take him back...

Sino could nag him about this for years.

But it was obvious that other people would not consider this factor at all. Little Paimon immediately rejected Tinari's plan and said decisively: "Okay, no need to be polite with us, let's go, let's go back to Aru Village!"

The four of them walked towards Aru Village, passed by a shady cave, and met Leila who was waiting there.

Leila had just met Xier, but Xier saw the distress signal sent by Tinari and rushed over immediately, leaving Leila to move on her own.

Leila was worried that something might happen to Tinari, so she didn't go far. She just wandered around here and waited for Xier to come back.

Now seeing the four people coming, she immediately greeted them: "Xi'er, Senior Tinari, Ying, Little Paimon."

"Why is Leila here?" Little Paimon was very curious about why Leila appeared here.

Leila scratched her head. She wanted to say that she was a little worried about Tinari, but after thinking about it, she changed her words and said, "The sun is too strong. I'll hide here for a while.

What about you? Have you finished the game?"

She pretended to be ignorant. She knew very well that Tinari could not hold on any longer, but she could not say it because she needed to save face for her senior.

When Tinari saw the eye contact between Leila and Xier, he sighed in his heart. Both Xier and Xier's friends were actually very gentle people, and they were carefully taking care of his dignity in this regard.

However, Tinari himself did not care about this so-called dignity. It was not shameful to be unable to adapt to the hot environment, so he said directly: "It's not as serious as you think. I am going to give up, and Ying and Xier are preparing to send me back to Aru Village."

"Abstain...is this okay?" Leila seemed to have discovered a new world, and she was a little tempted.

Tinari stroked his chin and thought, "I remember the rules should allow it. El Haisen said that leaving the competition area will be regarded as a forfeit of the round."

"I asked you before the game. If you had just given up at that time, you wouldn't have to suffer so much." Xier nagged Tinari again.

Tinari's expression was a little unnatural. He suddenly felt that Xi'er and Seno were alike. This was exactly what Seno would say, which made him want to retort. But after all, it was Xi'er who said it, so he could only nod and admit it: "Sorry, I was too arrogant."

"You are not arrogant at all. You are just ignorant." Xier said this and glanced at Tinari again. In the end, she couldn't bear to say anything too harsh. "Forget it, let's go."

Tinari nodded, still muttering, "When I get back, I must make more sunscreen essential oils. I must be well prepared before I come to the desert next time."

As he spoke, he saw Leila standing beside him and continued, "Come to think of it, Leila's condition doesn't seem to be good either. Is that okay?"

"I was a little dizzy when I first entered the desert. After resting here for a while, I feel much better now." Leila tried hard to keep her eyes open, trying to appear energetic.

Unfortunately, no matter how much she tried to act lively, she couldn't hide the fatigue on her face. Even little Paimon could see that she was not in good condition and advised her not to force herself.

"Don't worry, I just..." Leila defended herself weakly, "I'm just a little stressed... In fact, until now I still don't know what qualifications I have to be the representative of the Minglun faction.

Many people voted for me because of rumors, but those rumors seemed vague to me. Instead, it was their expectations of me that made me feel at a loss as to what to do.

Even those who usually criticize me voted for me this time, so I think I should respond..."

It can be seen that she has been holding these words in her heart for a long time, and now she is relieved to finally say them out.

Xier knew clearly that those people did not vote for the Leila in front of them, but for another Leila who was hidden in her head and would only come out when she fell asleep.

But who can say that Laila is not Laila? Who can say that Hei Xi is not Xi?

Tinari was in a good mood, and was willing to counsel the other party: "Does this expectation make you feel pressured?"

"Yes, I heard that Senior Tinari was also elected by vote. How did he deal with this kind of pressure?" She had asked Xier a similar question before. After all, Xier was also elected by vote.

Xier's answer was simple. She was already very good, so it was not surprising that she was chosen. As for winning or losing, she didn't care. Anyway, these prizes had no appeal to her. As for what other students thought...

Xier doesn't care about them. Even if she doesn't get any points in this competition, it will not affect her status in the Sulun School. After all, her mentor is Gulesh, and she has a senior brother who is a great disciplinary officer.

No one would think that she was incompetent. After all, this girl was famous for her cynicism in the Sulun School.

Now it was Tinari's turn to answer this question. Tinari's answer was very similar to Xi'er's: "To be honest, I don't feel any pressure. First of all, the expectations projected on you may not all be well-intentioned. People who are really willing to consider you will not want you to force yourself.

Then… we are scholars, and the job of scholars is to deal with knowledge, not to respond to other people’s expectations.”

The latter sentence was not only said to Leila, but also to Xier. Xier had always cared too much about Safir's expectations of her. She was obviously indifferent when facing other people, but she would study the topics related to Safir day and night.

Xier turned her head away and didn't look at him. Tinari didn't understand what Saphir meant to Xier.

A mentor and a friend? A lifesaver? All of them, but none of them are right.

Saphir brought her out of the snowy mountains, gave her the right to make her own choices, and taught her to live as herself. If it weren't for Saphir, Xier felt that she could only be Albedo's shadow at best, always chasing Albedo's footsteps and unable to live any other wonderful life.

Seeing Xier's stubborn look and unwillingness to listen to his preaching, Tinari could only shake his head helplessly. They all kept that woman in their hearts. What was so good about that person?

Sometimes he couldn't help but have such thoughts, but he just thought about it. He knew very well that Saphir was very important to Cole and Xier. It's just that sometimes... as a senior and a teacher, he would also feel jealous.

He took a deep breath, threw away the messy thoughts in his mind, and continued: "Just like I came to participate in the competition to promote the popular science lecture to be held in Huachengguo next month. Of course, I will do my best in the competition, but I will not bear extra pressure.

I think you can find a clearer goal, which should be better. "

"I understand. Thank you for the guidance of Senior Tinari." Tinari's words did make Leila relax a lot. In this regard, it can be seen that perhaps Xier's genius is better than Tinari, but in terms of education and guidance, she is far worse than Tinari.

Xier only focuses on doing what she wants to do and cares about her friends, but she can't say such words. Maybe it's because she has never been a teacher, so she lacks experience.

Tinari let out a long sigh. After saying so much, he began to feel thirsty again and his throat was about to smoke.

The air in the desert is very dry, and Tinari, who has always lived in the rainforest, absolutely cannot adapt to it.

But there was no way, there was no extra water for him to drink now, so he could only wait until he arrived at Aru Village.

"Then let's talk less and go back to Aru Village quickly." Xier said, and asked Latina to leave.

But Tinari didn't move. Instead, he looked at her and said, "Even if you don't care much about the result of the game, you should still try your best. If Seno doesn't get the back of the card, he might be disappointed for a while."

"Oh, yes, Xier still has to participate in the competition. If you leave the competition area at this time, you will be regarded as forfeiting." Little Paimeng suddenly reacted.

Ying also looked disapproving, thinking it was inappropriate for Xier to give up this round of competition so easily.

Seeing them all like this, Xier could only shrug helplessly: "I thought I could take this opportunity to give up this round of competition."

"Aren't you teaming up with Leila? Are you going to abandon her?" Little Paimeng had a look of contempt on his face, as if he was looking at a scumbag.

Xier reached out and pulled the little guy over, and thrashed him hard: "Don't say bad things about me!"

"Wow...Ying! Xier was led astray by Saphir, she bullied me!" After being scolded by Xier, little Paimon immediately ran to his friends for comfort.

Ying smiled helplessly: "How dare you say that? If it were me, it was Saphir who spoiled you the most, otherwise you wouldn't be like this today."

"Okay, Xier, Leila, Ying, Paimon, this place is not far from Aru Village, I can walk there by myself, and see you after the game." Tinari felt much better when he saw the two funny guys bickering and playing, and he said goodbye to them.

Tinari left, but the game had to go on. Xier and the others regained their spirits and prepared to return to the task of finding the earth vein disruptor.
