Original God's Dark Priest

Perhaps because he was frightened, the man began to sink like a stone as soon as he fell into the water, with no sign of floating up.

Seeing this scene, no matter how confused she was, Saphir knew that she couldn't just watch the other person sink to the bottom, so she reached out and pulled him out of the water.

“Cough cough cough…ah…thank you…” The man coughed out a few mouthfuls of water violently and thanked him in a low voice.

Saphir looked at the embarrassed man and asked, "It seems we have never met before. Do you know me?"

Her words were an admission of her identity. In fact, from the first moment she saw the other person, she estimated that the other person might recognize her.

After all, this man is from Fontaine, and there is almost no Fontaine person who doesn't know Safire.

As for why he looked like he had seen a ghost, it was because in the minds of most Fontaine people, Saphir should still be serving his sentence in Mello Petersburg.

As for why this is the case, it is actually very simple, because the names used by Fatui executives in formal occasions are all Winter Names.

Saphir's winter name is Aurora, not Aurora Saphir.

Saphir is her angel name, and Aurora is the name of winter, so, strictly speaking, Aurora Saphir is not a formal name, and there is no relationship between the two.

Yes, Safire has no last name.

The reason why other executive officers use the name of Winter Solstice to the outside world but Saphir is different is that it has to do with the source of her power. Because of the law of the vidyadhara, a name with power is very important to her.

But when walking in Teyvat, the real name must never be revealed, so the world only knows the name Saphir given by her mother, but does not know the full name that symbolizes the pinnacle of the divine realm and has been lost for a long time.

Because of this reason, the people of Fontaine never linked Aurora and Saphir together. Only a few people knew about this, and they were only high-ranking officials. Naturally, they would not mention it to ordinary people. This led to the fact that every time Saphir met the people of Fontaine, he would always scare the other party.

The middle-aged man took a few breaths and answered weakly, "I guess... I have seen it before... but that was a long time ago."

"Oh? But I have no impression of you." Safir raised her eyebrows. She really didn't remember meeting this man. At first, she thought that the other party saw her from the Steam Bird Newspaper, but now it seems that this is not the case.

The man coughed twice more, paused for a moment, and then answered, "Yes... on the night of the bloody case, when you were leaving... I saw you on the street."

He seemed to want to explain: "Of course, I didn't report you. Although you were covered in blood at that time, I definitely didn't mention this to anyone. I swear."

"Well, it doesn't matter. No one needs to report that matter. It's too big a matter to suppress." Saphir didn't care. It's been so long, but the dark cloud still hasn't dissipated from the Fontaine people's heads...

The man scratched his head. Perhaps because Saphir looked calmer now, he mustered up some courage and dared to ask questions: "Speaking of which...shouldn't you be in Melo Petersburg? How..."

"What's your name?" Instead of answering his question, Safire asked the other person's name.

"Me? My name is Dvorak... I'm a musician, for example?" Dvorak introduced himself.

Safir nodded in understanding: "Dvorak... Okay, I'll remember that as a person, you should not be too curious. After all, curiosity kills the cat."

"Ah...I understand." Dvorak immediately fell silent, not being able to be so obedient.

At this moment, a petite figure slowly walked over. Seeing someone familiar in front of her, she quickened her pace a little: "Huh? Sister Saphir?"

Saphir looked back and saw that it was Yaoyao. She smiled and asked, "Why did Yaoyao come to Qingce Manor?"

"I was on my way to Liyue Harbor to celebrate the Lantern Festival and just happened to pass by. I also dug some bamboo shoots here to give to the chef." Yaoyao said, turning around and showing Saphir the small backpack on her back.

There were some bamboo shoots lying in the backpack. They were very fresh and you could tell they were just dug out.

As for calling Saphir "sister", Yaoyao actually learned it from Keli. In the beginning, Yaoyao was not familiar with Saphir and was even scared by her. Later, when she found out that she was of the same generation as Grandma Ping, she immediately called her aunt.

But Safir sternly rejected the title of aunt. How could an unmarried woman be called aunt? They were not even related! For the first time, she deeply understood how Lisa felt when Kelly called her aunt.

It wasn't until the Lantern Festival that Klee came to Liyue to play, and after Yaoyao played with her, the title of sister was determined.

Saphir couldn't help but rub Yaoyao's little head. The little girl was so well-behaved and cute. "Why didn't you inform us when you were coming to Liyue Port? We could send someone to pick you up. We can also help you dig bamboo shoots."

"Yaoyao can do it herself." Yaoyao squinted her eyes and showed a lovely smile, which made people feel extremely warm.

A familiar voice came from the distance: "Eh? Ying, look over there, isn't that Saphir and Yaoyao?"

"It seems to be true. Why is there a person on the ground? Is Safir teaching someone a lesson again? Let's go and take a look!" This is Ying's voice.

The two little ones quickly came to the bridge. Yaoyao looked at them and waved her hand to greet them: "Sister Ying, Paimeng! Oh, by the way, this..."

Well…she didn’t know Dvorak.

But it doesn't matter, as long as Saphir knows him: "This is Dvorak, from Fontaine, he is a musician."

"Hello, hello." Ying was immediately in awe. Musician! That sounds so classy!

In this way, even if all the people in this group knew each other, Saphir asked the question that had always puzzled him: "I have been paying attention to you for a long time since just now. What are you doing squatting here?"

"Me?" Dvorak recalled, then answered, "I didn't do anything... I came from the Stone Gate and wanted to go to Liyue Harbor, but I was mesmerized by the beautiful scenery here and unknowingly took the wrong road...

I was just so busy looking at the waterfall and the water flow that I didn’t pay attention to anything else, and then…”

Then Saphir showed up and frightened him so much that he fell into the water.

But Dvorak felt that there was no need to talk about such an embarrassing thing in front of Yaoyao, so he simply changed the subject: "Then, I accidentally slipped into the water. If it wasn't for Miss Saphir... uh... passing by, I might have been in danger."

He didn't dare look into Yaoyao's eyes when he spoke. Deceiving a child made him feel guilty, but when Saphir heard this, he raised the corners of his mouth, obviously very satisfied with his excuse.

Noticing that Safire was in a good mood, Dvorak's guilty feeling immediately disappeared and he became righteous.

Yaoyao nodded immediately after hearing this: "The splashing water from the waterfall will make the stone road slippery, so we really need to slow down.

If you encounter an unfamiliar environment in the future, try not to think about other things while walking. As long as you develop the good habit of paying attention to your steps, you will not encounter such a thing again. "

Yaoyao is a little smart kid, and she told him a lot of things.

Dvorak nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, I'll remember it." Just as he finished speaking, his stomach made a rumbling sound.

In an instant, Dvorak's face turned red. It was embarrassing to have others hear the growling of his stomach due to hunger.

Yaoyao's eyes widened and she immediately asked, "Ah...are you hungry?"

"Um... I'm... fine..." Dvorak felt very embarrassed and scratched his head awkwardly.

Yaoyao understood what Dvorak said, and said quickly, "You don't have to be so polite. Yaoyao is a local, and taking care of tourists from all over the world is also a way to show the friendship of the host."

Saphir also chimed in, "It's still a long way from here to Liyue Harbor. Are you sure you want to go on an empty stomach? Don't blame me for not reminding you. If you go further, there is still a mountain road. It's very dangerous if you are exhausted. There are also monsters on the road.

If you don't have enough stamina, I can't guarantee that you will be able to hold on until you get support after encountering a monster."

"Yes, that's right." Yaoyao nodded vigorously, then rummaged in her small purse and took out a few snacks. "I have several more lotus cakes in my bag. Let's share them. Sister Ying and Paimon, have some too. Sister Saphir, this is for you."

As she spoke, she distributed the food she had brought with her.

These are the rations that Yaoyao brought with her when she went out. This was a habit she had developed before. If she were alone, considering the long distance and high mountains, she would definitely need to carry some reserve food in case of emergency. But later, she had the Dongtian Pass, so she could just go back and eat at mealtime.

But she still kept this habit. It is hard to say whether it was a habit or she was simply greedy and wanted to bring some snacks to eat on the road.

Taking the lotus cake from Yaoyao, Dvorak was deeply moved. Is this Liyue? Even a little kid could be so kind-hearted, so helpful and generous.

Not petty at all.

He didn't know that the person he met was probably the most precocious child in all of Liyue. Well... he used to be the most mature child, but now this adjective should be used on Jiang Li.

A few people ate lotus cakes while admiring the surrounding scenery, it was so pleasant.

"Hmm, it tastes really good! I really want another one!" Little Paimeng finished the lotus crisp in just a few bites, still feeling a little unsatisfied.

Ying looked disdainful at the side: "It's obvious that little Paimon eats the most!"

Yaoyao chuckled: "A strong appetite is a good thing, it means Paimon is growing. I should have done more if I had known."

"Look, she dotes on me so much!" Little Paimon was touched, and immediately started to hint frantically to Ying and Saphir.

Ying and Safir looked at her coldly in response. It seemed that the little girl ate and drank to her heart's content at Chen Ge Hu every day and didn't remember Safir's kindness at all. She even asked Ying to spend money to treat her to a meal for no reason, and didn't remember Ying's kindness at all.

However, Yaoyao won Paimeng's 100% favor just by sharing food by chance. Isn't this an ungrateful person?

Yaoyao didn't care about these things. She was still concerned about Dvorak: "Are Liyue's snacks to Uncle Dvorak's taste? Are they not sweet enough?"

She knew that Dvorak was from Fontaine, and she also remembered clearly that the people of Fontaine tended to prefer sweet food. The staple food there was even cakes and the like, and they consumed a huge amount of sugar.

Dvorak was flattered and nodded repeatedly. "It's perfect, perfect! I tried their moon pie once in Mondstadt, it was filled with meat. The lotus puff pastry uses a similar process to the moon pie, and they both have their own merits in taste."

He is well-informed and has traveled to many countries. He has also done some research on food. He unconsciously compared the lotus cake with the cuisine of other countries. Then he sighed: "As for the taste of my hometown...ah, I haven't tasted it for a long time."

The number of years since he left Fontaine was neither long nor short, at least more than ten years.

Little Paimon looked curious: "It sounds like Dvorak has been traveling as well?"

"Yes, I'm one of the organizers of the Rainbow Tour and I travel around frequently." Dvorak revealed his identity.

Ying actually had some impression of the Rainbow Tour. After all, they were somewhat famous, so it was normal for her to have heard of them.

Ying thought about it carefully, frowned and said, "I seem to have some impression, but I don't remember who mentioned it."

Dvorak was very happy to see Ying had heard of it, and continued to explain: "The Rainbow Tour is considered a heavyweight music festival in Fontaine. Our goal is to expand the scale and hold a music festival in every country.

This is the common pursuit of several of us organizers, but later…” At this point, he felt a little disappointed and sighed, “Well, it’s a long story, so I won’t go into it. Let me talk about myself. I travel all over the world, in addition to promoting music, I also have a little selfish motive. ”

Little Paimeng was so annoyed by his suspenseful way of talking that he hurriedly urged him, "Don't keep us in suspense. Tell us quickly!"

Safir didn't say anything, but just put her hands on Yaoyao's shoulders and watched them chat. Yaoyao also held Safir's hand obediently, and the two of them, one big and one small, blinked their eyes and looked at Dvorak and the others, just like real sisters who loved each other.

Dvorak mentioned this matter because he wanted to explore it, so he naturally did not hide it: "Then I have to start with the story passed down by my ancestors. ...Will it not take up your time?"

But he still confirmed whether Ying and the others were willing to listen. After all, it would be annoying if he just told stories to himself.

Yaoyao was the first to jump out, with an expectant look on her face: "Yaoyao likes to listen to stories!"

This is Yaoyao! The most sensible child in all of Liyue!

Little Paimon was not willing to be outdone: "Well, we want to listen too!" She represented the opinions of both her and Ying, and the only one left was Safir.

The others all expressed their desire to listen, and Safire naturally had no objection. She was also very interested in Dvorak's story and wanted to know what kind of story this uncle, who was so scared that he jumped into the river when they met, had.

Seeing that everyone was willing to listen, Dvorak felt a lot more at ease. At least this way he wouldn't cause any trouble to them... probably.

"Okay, then I'll start. This story is about my ancestor who was a traveler. He accidentally fell into the water during a trip and was about to drown. But at this moment, he heard a melodious song..."
