Clement suddenly paused on the spot. He turned around stiffly and looked at Safire: "This... Lord Dark Priest, why didn't you tell me about this just now?"

"Why, do I have to report to you how many people I buried?" Safir grinned.

Wan Yan's face turned pale at this time. She had long heard that Guyun Pavilion was the Demon God's cemetery. She didn't expect that besides the Demon God, there were also people buried here, and not just one or two, but thousands.

From what Safir said, this happened not long ago, and she suddenly remembered what happened when Osel broke the seal not long ago.

When Osel broke out of the seal, Yinyuan Hall was also liquidated, which made her begin to wonder what role Safire played in that liquidation.

And what are the identities of the thousands of people buried here?

The more Wan Yan thought about it, the more frightened she became. She realized that she had overlooked one thing all along. This seemingly harmless girl was an executive officer of the Fools, and the gentle Mr. Zhongli also worked in the Hall of Purity.

Cold sweat gradually seeped out from her forehead, and Wanyan felt her legs trembling. She felt as if she was being targeted by a ferocious monster. The chill that grew from the bottom of her heart made her tremble all over, and she almost couldn't stand.

But now no one cares about her. Clement feels that he has been cheated, but what if he doesn't dig something out to find his own Mora? Just when he was hesitant, Safire's next words became the straw that broke the camel's back.

"Since there are four of us, it must be more efficient to act separately, right? Zhongli and I will be together, and you two will be together. Is that okay?" Safire said calmly, asking Clement and Wan If you feel very insecure about smoking.

Wan Yan immediately became anxious: "Wait a minute! Thousands of people must have just died here. Isn't it appropriate to separate operations in such a strange place?"

Safire didn't care about them and just pulled Zhongli away. For a guy like Clement, he should be taught a lesson, otherwise he would always speak so unabashedly and sooner or later something would happen.

Looking back, if he was placed in the Yanshang Tea Room, sooner or later he would have to be beaten in a mixed doubles match between Shen He and Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun. This small training was also a spur to him. In order to avoid being beaten less in the future, he had to pay more now.

As for Wanyan, Safiir actually doesn't want to take her to play with her at all. As a believer of Heulia, the Demon God of Salt, there is no problem for Wanyan to prefer the Demon God she believes in, but Liyue has accepted people like her for so many years. , there are still people who are trying to overthrow Liyue.

This kind of person is a moth, someone who eats in and out. In Safir's view, this kind of person is even more despicable than a traitor. Morax has protected you for thousands of years, but you don't think of him well and spread rumors everywhere. This behavior is very shameless.

Safire also knew that it was not Wanyan who wanted to be like this, but the education she received since childhood shaped her into who she is now.

Just like a certain day, the people there are not indifferent to right from wrong, but the real history has been deleted from their country’s textbooks in order to make them forget history. If they want to understand the real history, they can only read the three stories of their elders. It is a pity that it is difficult to spread the truth by word of mouth alone.

Therefore, many people in Xiaoli are actually deceived, and this is the case with Wanyan.

Zhongli saw that she looked worried and didn't say anything, just letting her hold his hand and keep walking forward.

After walking for a while, Safire stopped. What appeared in front of them were several ruins guards who were eyeing them eagerly.

Seeing these four ruins guards, Safire suddenly realized that he seemed to have gone a little far.

Zhongli coughed lightly and said, "It seems that the ruin guards over there are about to attack. Do you plan to fight them like this?" As he said this, he looked at Safire's hand holding his.

Unexpectedly, Safire raised his face, as if the old god was there. Instead of letting go, he held on tighter: "Why should I take action? Shouldn't you protect me when I'm in danger?"

Zhongli shook his head helplessly: "But if you act like this, neither of us can do anything."

Safiir doesn't care, just kidding, can the dignified Rock King take down four ruins guards just because he was caught with one hand?

When the two people were struggling to the limit, the four ruins guards were not idle. They walked to a suitable distance, turned around and squatted down, and the launch holes behind them lit up, obviously preparing to launch missiles.

"Bang!" A series of crisp sounds were heard, and an overwhelming amount of missiles flew towards the two of them.

"We're going to get beaten if you don't let go."

"If you don't take action, we will be beaten."

The two said in unison. In the end, it was Zhongli who took action. It wasn't that Safire was more calm, but Safire knew that even if he didn't block it, Zhongli wouldn't be injured.

But Zhongli didn't dare to bet on whether Safire would be injured.

As the missiles approached, a thick Yuzhang shield enveloped the two of them, blocking all attacks.

Before the ruins guards could make their next move, a huge star fell from the sky and directly annihilated them, making the world quiet.

Looking at Zhongli's frown, Safire asked, "Are you angry?"

Zhongli shook his head: "It's just some gadgets. You can solve them perfectly even if I don't take action."

"Do you know why I don't want to let go?" Safire raised his right hand that was clasped with Zhongli's left hand.

Zhongli shook his head, he didn't know and didn't care.

Safir shook her head: "You, it's always like this. Forget it, there's no reason to hold on to it." After saying that, she let go of Zhongli and walked forward slowly, "It's really nice here. , there is no hustle and bustle of Liyue Port, and there is no wind and snow in the winter.

All the troubles in this world seem to have left me, and I still have you by my side. Do you know, I went to the abyss before, with Scaramucci. "

Zhongli was looking at his palm with a sense of loss, when he suddenly heard the name Scaramucci, his eyes became sharp: "Then what?"

"You look like you are ready to kill him." Safire joked, and then said, "The abyss is very dangerous. We went deep into it and encountered a phantom called Linyuan. It disguised itself as Scaramucci. The look is close to me.

But Scaramucci's body was specially made by Balzebul. Although it failed to meet her expectations, it was not something that could be imitated casually. The guy naturally failed and was hunted for who knows how long. "

Safire said and laughed out loud: "That was the most relaxing time I spent in the abyss. Only at that time, we were hunters, and the rest of the time, we were almost hiding here and there. Yes, you will die in it if you are not careful."

Zhongli sighed: "The inside of the abyss is extremely dangerous, you shouldn't go there."

Safir shook his head: "I have to go, otherwise how can I get a chance to stand out? I grew up in Hearth House. I don't want to be a firefly like everyone else and then be sent to perform tasks around the world. , and finally died there. I had no one to rely on, I could only rely on myself."

Zhongli raised his head and looked at the sky. The blue sea was connected to the blue sky in the distance. At the junction of water and sky, a white cloud hung just right there, as if covering the junction of water and sky. The whole picture looked particularly harmonious and full of color. A touch of dreaminess.

"Now you have someone to rely on, so you don't have to work so hard." Zhongli thought about it and still felt that he wanted to persuade him.

Safire shook her head: "Not enough, Zhongli, this is not enough." Her black eyes looked at Zhongli's amber pupils, "I once thought it was enough, but in the end I faced a dead end. At that moment I realized The point is, I can never trust anyone else with my life.

Even if it's you, even if we both trust each other 100%, it still won't work. I must have enough strength myself, otherwise you will never be able to protect me. Zhongli, Yuzhang's shield is indeed reliable, but it is impossible. It's always there, isn't it? "

As soon as she finished speaking, cracks appeared in the runes around her body and then shattered. The duration of Yuzhang's shield ended.

"If I rely on you as a matter of course because of my weakness like before, then I will definitely die like last time when you can't get away, whether it is an accident or a conspiracy." Safir waved his hand. , add a holy light protection to yourself.

The golden holy light protected her body. Although it was not as strong as Yuzhang's shield, it was her own ability: "That was the last time I asked you to protect me. I will become stronger and stronger in the future." I have to be able to protect you and all the people I cherish.

Zhongli, I am very grateful for your protection of me, and I have never felt that you did anything wrong. It’s just that so many things have made me understand a truth. I can’t just focus on Liyue, be prepared for danger in times of peace, and constantly strengthen. Only by yourself can you be invincible. "

Zhongli showed a smile: "I'm very happy that you think so, but Liyue will always be your hometown, please don't forget this."

Safir nodded. The explanation just now was indeed her inner thoughts, but she only said half of it, and she left the other half unsaid.

It was a rare opportunity to go out and hang out, and she was unhappy that she could be interrupted while holding hands. Watching those little animals in Liyue Port all day long, she never had the chance to get too close to Zhongli. This time she finally seized the opportunity. She was really greedy for this feeling! But it is impossible to say this, it would be too embarrassing.

Our dark animal husbandry still needs to save face.

Sapphire found a random rock to sit down on, and began to sort out the things he had thrown into the Eye of God.

Her God's Eye, unlike others, comes with a storage space, so everything she usually needs to carry can be stuffed into it.

This time, after sorting it out, she realized that there were quite a lot of things inside.

After removing some miscellaneous things, she took out a bow from it, which was the Amos Bow she got in the Wind Dragon Ruins.

Zhong Li became interested when he saw this bow: "Well, it's a good bow, with a strong earth-line aura, and it has been promoted to an artifact. By the way, you don't need a bow, so it would be a waste to carry this with you."

Safire smiled unnaturally: "Actually, I picked this up in Mondstadt, and I planned to give it to Gan Yu, but I forgot about it."

"I can't blame you. There are indeed a lot of things going on during this period, and it's normal to be negligent." Zhongli nodded.

Putting away the bow of Amos, Safire rummaged through it again and took out a pendant.

"This is..." Safir thought about it. This was something Scaramucci gave her. It was an accessory that contained part of her power.

Saphire held the cross-shaped pendant and slowly injected strength. A soft white halo spread from her body, making Zhongli feel relaxed physically and mentally.

After confirming the effect, Safiir nodded: "That's right, this is my 'protective stone'. However, the effect of this protective stone is a bit useless. It strengthens my Divine Light Cross." Safiir's His expression became strange.

Zhong Li didn't quite understand what she said: "Why do you say it's useless? Strengthening skills should be a good thing."

Safire nodded: "It is indeed a good thing, but compared with other protective stones, the effect of this protective stone is really average. It can expand the attack range of the Divine Light Cross and adds a special effect.

The cracks created by the divine light cross hammer hitting the ground can have a healing effect. Why should I use the Divine Light Cross if I want to heal others? Aren’t healing prayers and newness hymns bad? "

"It's true what you said, it's quite a weird ability." Zhongli thought it made sense, but still said, "But at least it's an enhancement, which is better than nothing."

Safir nodded helplessly, and the pendant whose power she had absorbed shattered into a pile of powder and scattered in the wind. Finally, she took out a large lump of iron, which was an alchemical metal that she had smelted using the heaven and earth as a furnace.

Seeing this, Safire perked up: "Zhongli, do you know what the most powerful weapon is?"

Zhongli saw that the metal was unusual and replied, "Are you planning to use this to forge weapons? Do you need my help?"

Safire shook her head: "This is alchemical metal. Ordinary forging cannot change its properties. You must find an alchemist." She reached out and touched the condensed metal ball, which followed her. The thought slowly changes shape, looking very strange.

Zhong Li was surprised by this scene: "It's an incredible object. It's very precious. Have you decided who to ask for help?"

"Of course, Reinhardt's most proud disciple, Albedo, is in Mondstadt. I will send Keli back to Mondstadt in a few days to find him." Safire nodded affirmatively, "Speaking of which, this is just my original smelting I sold half of the remaining half to General Thunder."

Zhongli frowned: "Baalzebu? Did you ask for anything from her?"

Safire shook his head: "It's not Balzebul, it's General Thunder. It's very troublesome to explain this matter. In short, it should be regarded as saving her."

"This Balzebul seemed very calm when he was a Kagemusha. How come he became unreliable when he became a god? It's just that he can't control his own works, and now he's reduced to the point where he needs you to save him." Zhongli was a little unhappy.

He crossed his arms, thought for a moment, and then said: "Do you need me to go to Daowu? If it is a situation where Balzeb cannot control the situation, there should be no need to worry that this behavior will be regarded as an invasion."

Safire twitched his lips: "No need, I have a plan, trust me, okay?"

"Are you sure?" Zhongli stared at Saphire. He could see that the girl in front of him was actually a bit brave.

Safire pursed his lips and finally nodded: "Well, I'm sure, Zhongli, I can't be protected by you all the time. The trip to Dao Wife is also a test for me. Only by personally crossing this hurdle can I I can grow further.

If I get stuck by the Puppet General, what should I do in the subsequent more difficult challenges? There are always times when you can't protect me, just like that time in Guiliji. "

When Safire mentioned Guiliji, Zhongli didn't say anything more. They all deliberately avoided the matter of Guiliji because they didn't want to recall the pain of the past. Unexpectedly, the most open-minded thing about Guiliji was that they died in Guiliji. Sapphire from the set.

Zhongli knew in his heart that Safire didn't want the tragedy to happen again, so he nodded and stopped insisting.

Safire put away the metal ball, and the atmosphere became silent. After a while, Clement and Wan Yan came over noisily.

"You said you were an archaeologist, but you didn't know if I asked you this, and you didn't know if I asked you that. What do you think you can do?" This was Clement's voice.

What followed was Wan Yan's aggrieved explanation.

"You asked me if this is worth something and that one is worth something. How do I know how much these are worth? Besides, my main research is on things related to the Salt God Heulia. Isn't it normal that I don't know about Osel?"
