Original God's Dark Priest

The night deepened and darkness once again enveloped the earth.

After some consideration, Alechino decided to go to the high platform of Momang Palace and wait.

She guessed that since Saphir had returned to the Buffati Mansion the day before, he might be able to see the girl at the same time today.

So she came here and waited.

As the time gradually approached midnight, most people had gone to bed, but Alechino remained very patient. She leaned against the wall and closed her eyes.

Not long after, there was a slight sound of landing. She opened her eyes immediately and saw a familiar figure: "Aurora, it's really hard to see you."

Saphir was also confused at this time: "Sister Lei, why did I wake up in Funina's bedroom again? Do you have any clue?"

"I do have some guesses. But, you have no memory of what happened before?" Alechino asked in surprise.

Saphir shook her head rapidly, her memory stuck at the moment when she knocked on Alechino's bedroom door, and then she came to her senses and found herself in Finina's bedroom again.

Seeing this, Alechino stopped asking questions. She knew that Saphir was completely clueless at the moment, so she explained, "Let's talk about the current situation first. It has been nearly half a month since you were attacked in the Nostoi District."

"Ah?" Saphir was confused. "I traveled through time?"

Alechino smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Not really. During this period of time, you turned into a black cat. I guess Ms. Funina picked you up when she went to Hailu Port a few days ago and brought you back."

"You mean... I am now Funina's cat? I can understand every word, but why is the combination a little hard to understand?" Saphir's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could pinch an ant to death.

She really couldn't understand it.

Alechino sighed softly, "Unfortunately, this is the truth. When you were a cat, you had no memory of your original form, and now, you have no memory of your cat form. Oh, and Furninna gave you a new name, Miss Louise. Do you like it?"

"Sister Lei... this isn't the most important thing right now..." Saphir covered his head, feeling a headache. "Who has such a bad taste? Aren't you kidding me?"

"Yes, it is indeed a bad taste, and I have already locked on the candidate. I am considering whether to confront her face to face." Alechino's expression became much more serious.

Saphir also became serious: "Who did it?"

"Fucarlos." A simple name made Saphir breathe much easier.

After a long silence, Safir finally understood the current situation. After learning who did it, Safir made a decision: "Since she did it, she must have a backup plan. No matter how much that girl knows about me, it couldn't be her intention to turn me into a cat and keep me by Funina's side..."

"So, what are you going to do?" After meeting Safir, Alechino calmed down a lot. No matter how bad the current situation was, as long as he could get in touch with this girl and talk to her, he felt that many things were not so complicated. After all, Safir had always been able to simplify things and make the most correct decisions.

This will save them all a lot of energy.

"Fukalos is currently inside the metaphorical judgment machine. It's not difficult to see her, but there happened to be nothing to judge these two days, so it has been delayed for so long.

Now that these have been confirmed, we don't need to rush. After all, as the water god, Fucaros has already taken action against me, and she will definitely want to implement it as soon as possible. After dragging it on for so long, she may be more anxious than us.

I guess she has found a way to fight the prophecy and has already started taking action, so let's see what she plans to do.

It is impossible for Furninna to miss any trial. It has been like this for five hundred years, so now we just need to proceed step by step, and my part can be put aside for the time being.

Anyway, Sister Lei, this is what you planned to do at the beginning, right? Even if I come here early, I won't show up easily. After all... I still have a 46-year sentence to serve." Safir briefly analyzed and summarized the ideas of all parties.

She was here to provide support. The main reason why Alechino hoped that Saphir could come to Fontaine earlier was to prevent any danger before it happens. With her healing ability, they would greatly reduce the possibility of casualties in their operations.

It is impossible for Fucaros not to know that the Fatui are also working hard for the prophecy. It was she who sentenced Saphir to forty-six years, and it is also she who turned Saphir into a cat now. There must be a reason for this.

Although her memories were not connected, Saphir still realized one advantage of becoming a cat, which was that she could appear in any corner of Fontaine openly without attracting attention.

This was a great convenience, but the cat and Safire were unable to communicate with each other's memories, which resulted in Safire seeming to have disappeared from the face of the earth during this period.

It was easy to deal with after understanding everything. What she needed to do was very simple, which was to wait. As long as Fernina took her to the Opikle Opera House, she would be able to meet Fucaros.

Safir didn't believe that Fucaros did this just to restrict her and prevent her from taking any action.

The leaders of ordinary countries, or the assistants of God, are hostile to the Fatui, but God is definitely not.

Whether it was Wendy, Zhongli, or Ying, they had never made things difficult for the Fatui because of their identity.

Yinghui and Saphir had a fight because the girl stole her snacks, and Zhongli attacked Dotore because Dotore committed an unforgivable offense against Saphir.

Even Nashida, who suffered a lot because of Doltore, had no prejudice against the Fatui themselves. The position of gods is different from that of humans.

Saphir believed that the same was true for Fucaros. Instead of simply opposing them, it would be better to cooperate or exploit them. This was what gods would do, just like how Zhongli had exploited Saphir and Tartaglia.

Therefore, Safire is almost certain that the current situation is only a transitional state, and in fact Fucaros's goal is far from being achieved. In other words, Fucaros herself may not have thought that what she did would lead the situation to its current state.

No matter what the truth is, everything will be clear as long as she meets Fucaros. I believe that Fucaros can't wait to meet her. After all, to the gods, people like Saphir are very valuable, and it is impossible for them to destroy her for no reason.

Alechino nodded and agreed with Saphir's plan: "In that case, you should put it on hold. Linnie will have a performance at the opera house in a few days. I guess you will be able to see Fucaros then."

"Opera House? That boy Linny has made great progress!" Saphir laughed. She was really happy that her younger brother had made great progress.

Alechino nodded slightly: "He has always worked very hard, both in tasks and performances."

"I agree with that." After saying that, Saphir suddenly turned into a cat again with a bang.

Looking at Miss Louise who was staring at her with her head tilted, Alechino felt it was funny for no reason. In this deserted night, she covered her mouth and chuckled.

Maybe it was the fact that Safire turned into a cat, or maybe it was Miss Louise's actions. In short, there was indeed some unknown aspect that suddenly tickled her funny bone, and this person with an icy face for thousands of years laughed.

Bending down, she picked up Miss Louise very gently, and tentatively stroked the fur on her back: "Good evening, Miss Louise, don't run around, or Miss Funina will be worried again tomorrow."

Miss Louise tilted her head back and licked Alecino's left cheek. This time, Alecino did not dodge and let it lick her cheek.

After a while, Miss Louise jumped back into Funina's bedroom and was silent.

Arlecino, who stayed where he was, reached out and touched the place where he was licked, muttering to himself, "Actually, becoming a cat isn't a completely bad thing. Isn't this much more obedient and adorable?"

The next day, when Funina woke up, the first thing she did was to check on Miss Louise's condition.

Seeing the black cat lying in the cat bed intact and snoring softly, her mood improved a lot.

It seems that the sudden running away before was just an accident. Miss Louise is still very well behaved!

With a good mood, Funina tiptoed to the bathroom to clean herself up.

There is a trial at the Opicle Opera House today. Although Funina doesn't think this is the trial she has been waiting for, she will still go. She doesn't want to miss even the slightest possibility.

Holding Miss Louise who had already woken up, Funina sat at the slightly luxurious long table and had breakfast. While eating, her thoughts were constantly surging in her mind.

"The person in the mirror said that everything will be settled after a grand trial..."

"I almost forgot how long I've been waiting. Can I really wait until that day?"

"I'm afraid today will be the same as usual, with no progress..."

"The water level is rising again, and there is no way to control it. Damn it, where is the breaking point..."

"I really can't hold on any longer."

Miss Louise stopped drinking milk and looked up at the absent-minded Furninna.

"What's wrong, Louise? Is it not to your taste?" Seeing the black cat staring at her, Funina was a little confused.

Miss Louise lowered her head and continued to drink the milk in the basin, and Furninha continued to eat her breakfast.

The Momang Palace was peaceful and lazy in the early morning, and Funina was still waiting.

"It's almost time, Ms. Funina." A clear male voice sounded from not far away, "It's time to go to the opera house."

"Got it, Villette. I'm ready." The white-haired girl jumped off the chair, picked up the black cat that had already eaten and drunk enough, and wiped the corners of its mouth that were stained with milk with a silk scarf. "What case is today?"

"Theft, no doubt, can be convicted directly." Villette glanced at the black cat in Furninna's arms and spoke to herself.

Fininna nodded slightly after hearing this: "But you will still give him the right to defend himself, right?"

"Everyone has this right, and we have always done so. This time will naturally be no exception." After saying this, Villette walked towards the exit of Momang Palace.

Funina quickly followed and adjusted her hat, “I hope there will be a dramatic reversal this time.

Otherwise... it would be too boring."

...

"The court is in session!"

...

Fucaros never imagined that the person she had been waiting for for several years would appear in front of her again in the form of a black kitten.

The aqua-blue halo dissipated, and when Miss Louise opened her eyes again, the person in front of her was Furninna, who had changed her clothes.

It doesn’t matter, as long as it’s Funina, it doesn’t matter what she wears.

It ran forward quickly, leaped lightly and threw itself into the other's arms.

Fukalos was stunned. She thought she could see Saphir, but now...

She looked at the cat in her arms with a confused look on her face, and for a moment she didn't know what to do.

But some things still had to be done. She raised her hand and raised Miss Louise, saying very seriously, "Stop making trouble. I have something serious to say."

A "?" slowly appeared above Miss Louise's head.

"Ah... Fontaine's future seems dark." Fucaros lost all his strength and temper in an instant and began to review his previous behavior.

He created Furninha to replace himself as the water god, that's right.

The creation metaphor of the judgment machine accumulates the chaotic energy of law compensation to destroy the throne, that's right.

It's true that he used the bloody case to attract Safire's attention.

In the Nostroi District, she used her power to change Saphir's aura to conceal her whereabouts, thereby avoiding the pursuit of the abyss...

Should be...right?

After blinking his eyes, Fucaros instantly understood where the problem lay.

"Oh no... Could it be that you have mastered the primordial water?" Fucaros really wanted to pick up Miss Louise and shake her to see if he could get something out of her.

This is the only possibility. Fucaros' power relies on the primordial water. A drop of primordial water can change the aura of some units. The main purpose of the device she set up in the Nostroi area was to prevent Saphir from being captured by the abyss when passing by there.

But now it seems that by accident, the result of changing the breath has been replaced by changing the species.

This was going to be really fun, and she wasn't sure if the other party could change back.

Looking at Miss Louise squatting on the side and licking her front paws leisurely, Fucaros was about to cry. This result was not right.

She was anxious now, as anxious as an ant on a hot pot: "What should I do? Should I remove it? Or should I remove it? But if I remove the effect, what if I get caught by the abyss?"

She was in a dilemma and her heart was roaring.

Just as she was hesitating, Miss Louise spoke up: "It's so noisy... What are you doing?"

"Huh? You...you can speak?" Fucaros was surprised.

Miss Louise's cat face showed just the right amount of contempt: "What are you talking about in your sleep? Why can't I speak?"

After saying that, she turned her head and looked at her body belatedly: "Oh! So this is what I look like when I turn into a cat."

Saphir's consciousness finally awakened in Miss Louise's body. After adapting to the current situation, Saphir looked at Fukaros who was stunned at the side and said, "So, you are Fukaros? The real water god who sentenced me to 46 years in prison back then?"

"You...are indeed Saphir now, right?" Fucaros was still a little unsure and wanted to confirm.

Saphir couldn't help but roll his eyes. "What's going on in the Northoi District? Don't tell me it was just a joke. If you dare to say that, I will let you know how Barbatos's Heart of the Wind God came into my hands."

"Misunderstanding, I promise it's a misunderstanding!" Fucaros was almost swearing.

Then she explained what had happened in detail.

After listening to Fukaros' explanation, Saphir was relieved: "So... you made this arrangement because you were worried that I would be captured by the abyss. Who told you this news? Su?"

"You bear the mark of the abyss, and they will definitely chase you to the ends of the earth." Fucaros did not answer the question, but stated an objective fact.

In response, Saphir sneered: "Abyss... I'm afraid they'll hide and not come looking for me."

Ever since she first went deep into the abyss as a child, she has had a grudge against the abyss. Since then, there have been constant frictions between them, and the abyss has never been able to gain the upper hand over her, so she can completely ignore the threat of the abyss and do anything.

Saphir was too lazy to think about the abyss anymore, and instead focused his eyes on Fucaros, who had regained his composure. The man and the cat stood opposite each other, and the real negotiations were just about to begin.
