Original God's Dark Priest

The next day, at the Lambad Tavern, Elhaisen sat alone in a booth, waiting for someone to arrive.

After a while, a girl in black walked straight to him and sat down opposite him: "It's really rare that our secretary Mr. Elhaisen would take the initiative to invite me to have coffee together.

Are you... coming to your senses?"

"Regardless of whether you are smart or not, I have no interest in seeing your face. So, please respect yourself, Miss Chenxi." Elhaisen looked at the visitor indifferently, his tone was impolite.

Chen Xi frowned slightly, revealing a hurt expression: "Am I... hated? I admit that I did do some ridiculous things in the past, but I'm trying my best to make up for it. There's no need for you to be so hostile, right?"

"You know very well that my attitude is not because of you." Elhaisen sighed, then took out a notebook, "Let's stop chatting here. I have something important to talk to you about today."

Taking the notes handed over by Elhaisen, Chen Xi flipped through them casually and raised his eyebrows: "Is this the text that the Red King civilization once used? It's quite interesting. What do you plan to do with this?"

"I know that Lord Grass God has arranged for you to investigate something. I think this will be helpful to you." Elhaisen said bluntly.

Chen Xi glanced at the notes in his hand again, then smiled: "Is it helpful to 'me', or is it helpful to the investigation itself?"

"There is no difference." Elhaisen turned his face away and said something against his will.

Chen Xi chuckled and put away the note without asking further questions: "After all, you are still concerned about your roommate, right? It is really surprising that something that happened more than 20 years ago would attract so much attention.

Or are you simply eyeing that so-called...industry?"

"Has anyone ever told you that your personality is even less likable than what you actually are?" Elhaisen did not answer, but just asked an irrelevant question.

Hearing this, Chen Xi laughed out loud: "You don't have to show your anger so obviously. How can I not understand you?"

"Stop showing off your sense of humor. Instead of being sarcastic about it, I'd rather analyze Seno's jokes." Elhaisen felt a little tired. Whether it was Saphir or Chenxi, he had never had an equal conversation with these two people.

Chen Xi shrugged, drank the coffee in front of him in one gulp, and then stood up: "Okay, that's it. I plan to go to the desert today. There should be some news from Aru Village. I plan to go and find out."

"Have you found out the results you wanted? Not so fast. I remember you just came back two days ago." Elhaisen was a little surprised. After all, Chenxi's speed was a little too fast.

Chen Xi tilted his head and smiled meaningfully: "This is not a difficult thing. After all, the mouth of that Sangge Mahabayi is not that hard."

Watching Chenxi's departing figure, Elhaisen was a little worried about Dolly's current situation. This guy was not a righteous partner, and he might use endless means. I hope Dolly's small body is fine...

If Chenxi knew what Elhaisen was thinking, she would definitely sneer at him. She was indeed not a righteous partner, but she was still a law-abiding citizen of Xumi. How could she do something illegal?

She just spent a large sum of Mora to buy information from Dolly, and then told her that the Mora was paid by Nashida, and finally secretly told Seno that someone was blackmailing her.

That's it.

As for the fact that Dolly was taken away by the disciplinary officer for investigation in the end, it had nothing to do with her. After all, it was Nashida's money that was spent, so it was reasonable to take from the people and use it for the people.

Liyue, Yujingtai. In order to better educate Jiangli, Ningguang built a private school here and invited some people to teach Jiangli in turns.

Today we will start studying cultural subjects. The little girl practiced sword skills for the whole day yesterday and really needs a good rest.

In the past, it was Aping who was responsible for teaching her. Today, Safier was also there, so Aping simply started to think about how to throw this job to the other party.

But seeing that Safir had been worried and thoughtful since he came here, Ping didn't know how to bring it up. She could only suppress her doubts and focus her attention on the little kid.

After a while, after explaining part of the content, A Ping let Jiang Li understand it by himself and then took a break. She walked over to Safir, who was throwing a water ball in his hand with a bored look on his face.

"What's wrong? Why do you look so depressed?" Aping asked softly.

In the past, Saphir was always busy with affairs of all sizes, going to various other countries to perform missions and mediate. As a result, she didn't spend much time in Liyue. Now that she was under house arrest, Ah Ping thought it was a good thing.

At least this would allow her to have a good rest, and also allow her old friends to have some time to talk to her and keep in touch with her.

Hearing Ping's question, Safir tossed the water ball in his hand again, and then said, "Ping, you said that the water element is not difficult to master, so why didn't you know it before?"

"Ah? What's your question? Without the Eye of God, it is naturally impossible to drive the corresponding elemental force. Isn't this common sense?" A Ping looked at Saphir with some confusion. In her opinion, this question did not need to be discussed at all.

But Saphir tossed the water ball in his hand and said, "But I now have the water element, and I haven't obtained the corresponding Eye of God."

"This..." Ah Ping also found this strange. "Is it because you are considered an Adventer that you can master elemental power without the Eye of God?"

"You know, this is impossible. This has never happened before. Ying is just a special case." Saphir shook his head and looked at the water ball in his hand carefully again.

She always felt that her water ball seemed a little different. There was a vague sense of danger, but it was also full of vitality, giving people a very strange feeling.

Ah Ping didn't know why this happened, but she didn't think too much about it. Instead, she comforted him, "Anyway, if you master one more element, your strength will also be stronger. This is not a bad thing."

Safir forced a smile, agreeing with Ah Ping's statement, but she didn't think so in her heart. She knew whether the water element that she could suddenly control had any impact on her.

The two chatted for a while, and after a while, A Ping continued to teach Jiang Li, while Safir sat not far away and watched.

Then Zhongli appeared. Seeing Zhongli, Saphir instinctively wanted to go over to him, but when he remembered that it was this guy's order that put him under house arrest, he immediately frowned and turned his head away and stopped looking at him.

Noticing the girl's reaction, Zhongli showed a hint of helplessness in his eyes. After thinking about it, he took the initiative to walk forward and sit next to Saphir.

When Saphir saw Zhongli approaching, he immediately moved away, as if he didn't want to have any contact with him. This was a silent protest.

Zhongli shook his head helplessly: "Are you still angry?"

"It has nothing to do with you!" Safir didn't look at him and continued to sulk.

Zhongli found it a little funny when he heard this. This girl's thoughts were so easy to understand that he knew what she meant without even thinking about it. It's just... only at times like this would this girl be so simple and easy to understand.

And most of the time, it is not so easy to see through.

"Inazuma sent us an invitation letter, hoping that we can attend the celebration." Zhongli took out two invitation letters and placed them on the table.

Saphir turned his head to look, then immediately turned his head away without answering.

Zhongli didn't care and continued, "I don't agree with you going, because you messed up this time, and no one will feel safe if we let you go."

Just as Saphir was about to lose his temper, he heard Zhongli continue, "So during this period of time, you have to stay in Liyue by yourself, and don't sneak out just because no one is watching you. Starting tomorrow, the hall master will take the people of Wangsheng Hall to wander around the countryside to advertise something.

I’m afraid I won’t be able to come back for a while.”

Saphir then turned around and looked directly at Zhongli: "You...have given in?"

"When two people quarrel, one of them has to give in, right?" Zhongli said as a matter of course without arguing.

Safir thought for a moment and asked again, "Even if it was indeed my problem, are you giving in?"

"Right or wrong is never important, what matters is that you are still alive." Zhongli looked at Ah Ping and Jiang Li who were talking not far away, and said slowly, "We all grieve over the passing of our friends.

So when I learned what you did, my first reaction was a blank in my mind, and then I was furious. I don't understand what you were thinking. You didn't even think of consulting us on such an important matter. This frustration made me want to go crazy.

Phil... No, Hagentus, in your eyes, am I Morax so weak and unreliable? "

Zhongli's eyes were scorching, as if he wanted to burn Saphir.

When asked this question, Saphir was stunned for a moment. After a while, she suddenly burst out laughing.

Zhongli looked confused: "What are you laughing at?"

He was obviously serious, but the other party suddenly laughed. For thousands of years, almost no one dared to talk to him like this. Of course, the person in front of him was an exception. She had always been like this.

Saphir stretched out his arms and legs, stretched his body, and then said with a smile: "Everyone says that Mr. Zhongli, the guest official of the Wangsheng Hall, is a serious person, knowledgeable, wise, emotionally stable, and a rational person who is never swayed by emotions.

Do they expect you to have a side that's not your best?"

"So, are you laughing at this?" Zhongli felt a little amused, but he had no choice. Saphir was not afraid of him. He always said something that made him unable to hold back and did something that surprised him.

What's the word for it? Nemesis. This is his nemesis.

Zhongli felt that he was having difficulty breathing, frowned, and didn't know how to respond.

But Safir didn't let him be embarrassed for long and said, "Since you said that, there's something I don't understand. Can you give me some advice?"

"What's the matter?" Zhongli perked up. He thought that there were not many things in this world that bothered him. If it was a serious matter, he should be able to give Saphir a satisfactory answer.

Saphir did not tease Zhongli and directly stretched out his hand to summon a water ball: "Here, water element, why do I have this ability even though I don't have the Eye of God?"

"This matter..." Zhongli understood, considered the words, and then said, "This matter is very complicated to explain. In fact, I wanted to discuss this with you a long time ago, but I didn't know how to start. Now that you asked me today, I will talk to you in detail.

First, let's talk about your Seraphim mode and Nether mode. From what I've observed, the light and dark attributes you mentioned are not accurate. Strictly speaking, they should involve life and death. And if we talk about the power system, the corresponding ones should be 'light world force' and 'virtual world force'."

"What the hell? Void Force? Isn't that the Abyss?" Saphir was shocked. You know, she risked her life this time just to get rid of the erosion of the Abyss, but Zhongli told her that the Nether Mode is the Abyss? Who can stand this?

Zhongli shook his head and explained, "You misunderstood. The Abyss is indeed a manifestation of the Void Force, or the Abyss does use the Void Force, but the Void Force is not the same as the Abyss.

The Original Man once had a great war with the Nibelung, and the Dragon King lost. Later, he went outside the world to find a way to fight back, and finally obtained the power of the virtual world, and then returned with the abyss.

The result was still a great defeat, but the abyss he brought here has become a cancer in this world and can never be completely eliminated. "

"I don't understand why the abyss is biting me so tightly. If there is any way, I won't take such an extreme step." What Saphir has always been most concerned about is the poison of the abyss, which is like a leech attached to his bones.

She is not the only one who has gone deep into the abyss. Scaramuzi and Tartaglia have both entered it. Only she is trapped in the abyss and cannot escape. Even the gods don't know how to deal with it. This is not normal.

Zhongli sighed softly: "It's very simple, because you can not only use the power of the virtual world, but also the power of the light world. To the abyss, you are a great hidden danger, and at the same time, you also have a fatal temptation.

It is impossible for two opposing forces not to want to devour each other. Even the abyss will be moved by this. This is the biggest reason why you cannot escape from the abyss. "

"What would happen if I completely fell into the abyss?" Safire thought about it and felt a little creepy.

Zhongli shook his head: "I don't know, that's scary, because in this world, there are only a few people who can really use the power of the light world to fight against the power of the virtual world..."

There is almost none left.

The Abyss Cult cannot be trusted, and they are also users of the power of the virtual world. The complete power of the light world is difficult to use easily.

It’s not that we don’t want to use it, but no one has the ability to use it.

"The seven elements are called human world power, which is different from your power. This is because they are all analyzed from the light world power and provided to ordinary people as a means to fight against the abyss." Zhongli said in a calm tone, revealing a big secret, "The ultimate enemy of this world will always be the abyss. In order to fight against the abyss, all forces will unite. This is an inevitable trend.

At the beginning, when the Kanreya disaster occurred, we were ordered to go to Kanreya to fight, essentially to fight against the abyss, but the Kanreyan people didn’t know that. They only saw us coming to Kanreyan, and then Kanreyan was destroyed, so many people thought that we were the murderers who destroyed Kanreyan…”

"The destruction of Kanriya...isn't it God's will?" Saphir's heart skipped a beat and he asked.

Zhongli shook his head: "The destruction of Kanreya was never God's will, it was only because of the Abyss. The Abyss bewitched the Kanreya people and dragged them into destruction step by step. We reacted too slowly and failed to save the Kanreya people."

"But why would Heaven send down a curse?" Saphir didn't understand. If it was really as Zhongli said, there was no reason for Heaven to send down a curse, turning the pure-blooded Kanriya people into undead monsters and turning the non-pure-blooded Kanriya people into Hillichul people.

"Because... they violated a taboo." Zhongli was very secretive. "I can only say that the abyss disaster that broke out in Kanreya was not accidental. At that time, no one knew what position this godless country was in. Therefore, God chose the simplest way to completely destroy Kanreya. Only in this way can the further spread of the abyss be curbed."

Saphir was silent. The matter was still shrouded in mystery, but the most important issue now was to figure out the two forces that Zhongli mentioned.

She asked, "In that case, you are also one of those who know about what Barnabas did?"

"Yes." Zhongli said concisely.

"What is she going to do?" Safire's heart was pounding, and her intuition told her that there was an answer right in front of her.

Zhongli looked at Saphir who was serious, his eyes softened a little, and said: "Elemental force is the human force extracted from the light force, so she just needs to do the opposite.

Collect the seven elemental gods' hearts to gather the power of each element and thereby master the power of the light world.

Rebellion against the law of nature is probably just a cover, her real goal may be the abyss."
