Original God's Dark Priest

Chapter 299 Walter Montaigne

Both Lao Lutou and Xingqiu were very surprised that Safire actually knew the owner of Luo Village.

Seeing the curious eyes of the two people, Safire nodded helplessly: "This is not the first time I have come to Qiaoyingzhuang. In order to entertain friends, I came here specifically to find old tea. It was a coincidence. I met Master Luo next."

That time she not only met Master Luo, but also discovered Yaoyao who was secretly watching behind her.

Thinking of this, Safire looked around. Xianyun and Aping came here to play, probably to Yaoyao's house. She wondered if she should stop by and take a look.

"The two of you came together, presumably because of the tea. You have all seen what happened this year..." Uncle Luo looked tired. It could be seen that the changes in the tea had made him a little haggard.

When Old Lu saw this, he pretended not to know: "What's wrong? Look at your sad face. Ah Jin didn't do his job well?"

"You! You guy is teasing me again!" Uncle Luo was furious after hearing this. "Ahem, you two are laughing. There was some minor friction between me and Lao Lutou. He was deliberately sarcastic. As for me, well, it’s already this time and I’m still saying this..."

Seeing the two of them bickering, Xingqiu smiled and smoothed things over: "Master Luo, don't worry, we already know the matter. This time, we are not here to accuse, but to help."

"That's good, that's good." Xingqiu's words made Uncle Luo's heart finally fall to the ground. There was something wrong with the tea, and he was the owner who was most stressed. The quality of the tea was nothing to other people. It's just a matter of making more or less. After all, no matter how inferior this thing is, it can still be sold, and there will always be people who will buy it.

But this is not the case for him. This is a matter of smashing the sign. If it is not handled well, he will not have to do this business in the future, and even Qiaoyingzhuang will suddenly decline. He will become a sinner and be crucified. On the pillar of shame.

The pressure in his heart eased a little, and Uncle Luo's tone also relaxed: "To be honest, this batch of tea leaves is not good, it can't be roasted. I don't know whether it's because it didn't work when it was picked or because the machine in our tea roasting workshop is not good. Made it."

Old Lu was speechless to him. Just when he was about to speak, Safire stopped him: "Let me take a look at these tea leaves."

In fact, people like them who understand the magic of immortality can tell at a glance what the tea at Qiao Yingzhuang is like.

She walked to Uncle Luo, casually picked up a handful of tea leaves, and frowned after just looking at it twice.

Seeing her expression, Uncle Luo sighed in his heart. Although he had known it for a long time, he still had a little luck, maybe?

Safire has already made it so obvious, so there is no doubt that there is indeed something wrong with this batch of tea leaves.

"Did you find anything?" Uncle Luo asked cautiously.

Safire came to Qiaoying Village to look for old tea trees. She picked the best tea, dried it, and fried it herself. She did every step personally, and her techniques were more skillful than some old tea farmers.

In Uncle Luo's view, Safire's understanding of tea is absolutely worthy of recognition.

In fact, Safir had already noticed that this tea didn't have that flavor.

Whether it's the tea from Lao Lutou or here, it's the same. It has no charm, but the residual fairy spirit on the tea is actually still there, but it gives people a very disordered feeling, which will destroy the taste of the tea itself. Although it is not good for the human body It's harmless, but it will affect the quality of the tea too much.

She shook her head: "It is true that it is not as good as the previous tea, but the reason should be that there is something wrong with the tea itself, and it has nothing to do with the technique."

What she said was equivalent to completely denying Uncle Luo's guess, which made Uncle Luo a little embarrassed. He said unwillingly: "It can't be a water and soil problem. If there are no natural disasters in Shenyu Valley, there will be no harm from people. The water and soil can still be Is there a sudden change?"

He just said it casually, but Safier suddenly woke up: "Natural disaster?" Yes, who stipulates that no one can do anything here? If someone uses earth veins or immortal power to cause trouble, wouldn't it be a complete man-made disaster?

Thinking of using her immortal power, Safire began to ponder. She must have been to this area of ​​Chenyu Valley before, and even participated in the planting of tea trees. There is a tea plant she planted personally on the southern hillside, and now it has It has grown into a big tree.

As for the people who were traveling with her at that time, she tried hard to remember that Yaojun, Changsheng, should be there, and... the purple one... who was there? Floating brocade? Fu Jin is probably there, but who is Fu Jin? But she had no impression at all.

If someone is causing trouble, then there is a high probability that it is these people. Changsheng is still with Baizhu and has lost his memory, so it is naturally impossible for him to be involved in this matter. Then the remaining people are highly suspicious, but unfortunately, she is not responsible for that person. Both of them had no impression.

Her memory was so incomplete that she wasn't sure if those people could still recognize her. Probably not. After all, she had been here before and she hadn't seen anyone claim to be her old friend.

After much deliberation, Safire decided to go find A Ping and Xianyun first.

"Xingqiu, help Uncle Luo, I'll go to the mountains." Thinking of this, Safire said directly to Xingqiu.

Xingqiu has no objection to this. He understands that he has no position to ask about Safiir's affairs. The other party is willing to bring him to Shenyu Valley. It is already Xingqiu's own business to investigate the tea problem. Although Safiir It is also closely related to it, but he has no position to ask the other party to solve this problem.

Saying goodbye to Xingqiu and others, Safir went directly to the market town of Qiaoyingzhuang. She had been here before. At that time, she had the idea of ​​coming here to see if there was any good tea in the market town, but she didn't want to be beaten by Yaoyao. He was spotted and followed all the way to the ancient tea tree.

Originally, when she found out that she was being followed, Safire planned to kill him directly, but after she found out that the person following was Yaoyao, she had no choice but to give up the idea. Considering that she was already in the wild, she couldn't let Yaoyao hang behind too much. She was far away, so she had to lift the little girl out and carry her forward.

Yaoyao was scared to death at the time, and the way she was holding back tears while scared was heartbreaking.

Thinking of what happened before, Safir felt a hint of warmth in his heart, shook his head, and continued to move forward.

The market town of Qiaoyingzhuang is not big, and there is still a big gap compared with Liyue Port. When passing by a stage, a blond girl and a child dressed as Fontaine people attracted her attention.

"Although I can't understand it, I still feel great!" The blond girl said to the child in front of her with an excited look on her face, "Just watch her standing on the stage singing, pacing back and forth singing, sitting down Sing down, then raise your hand, put it down slowly, and continue singing babblingly.

I don’t know what kind of magic power this old woman has. She is babbling, chanting, singing, chanting, and crying. I don’t understand it, but I just think it’s awesome! Xiaomao, can you understand? "

The child who was called Xiaomao laughed and said, "That's it for singing. Isn't there a fighting scene later? Especially the old man who does eighty-eight somersaults, how beautiful he is!"

His words were immediately recognized by the blond girl: "Yeah! It looks good! I just can't understand it. A large group of people are beating each other up and down, and it's all fancy. One on one, two or three people beating each other, and five or six people taking turns. …Anyway, it’s pretty good.”

Safire walked over slowly. She was quite interested in this Fontaine native. When she saw the two of them discussing opera, she interrupted: "This is Liyue's characteristic art form. Opera has its status in Liyue." It’s the equivalent of your Fontaine opera.”

"Opera!" Xiao Mao immediately became interested. He was not afraid of strangers and stared at Safire with a burning gaze. "Does that one also have martial arts moves?"

Safire thought for a while and shook his head slightly: "It should be relatively few. Opera is naturally mainly about singing and dancing."

"Is that so?" Xiao Mao nodded seriously.

Safir looked at the blond girl aside, but found that the other person looked at her a little strangely. He couldn't help but frowned: "What's wrong?"

The blonde girl was shocked by her sudden question, and then shook her head vigorously, as if she had seen something terrible, but then she took a deep breath, as if to cheer herself up: "It shouldn't be, that Aren’t you in Merlot Petersburg?”

"Huh?" Safir's five senses were relatively sharp and he immediately heard her mumbling.

The blonde girl realized that she accidentally said what she was thinking, and immediately smiled awkwardly: "Sorry, sorry, you look a bit familiar, so I lost my composure."

"Looks familiar?" Safire stared at the blond girl, and her intuition told her that this was definitely not familiar. The girl probably recognized her, but it didn't matter, just recognize her if she recognized her. She didn't think Villette would leave Feng specifically. Dan catches her.

Perhaps Safir's squinting expression was too obvious, and a trace of panic clearly flashed in the blonde girl's eyes.

Seeing her like this, Safier became even more sure that this person must know her, so she simply extended her hand and introduced herself without hiding anything: "My name is Safiir, what's your name?"

"Oh, my name is Walter Montaigne, you..." She suddenly stopped mid-sentence, and her outstretched hand froze.

is her! It's really him! She ran out of Merlot Petersburg and appeared in Liyue!

In an instant, this thought filled her mind.

A major case occurred in Fontaine more than ten years ago, a tragedy in which two families were wiped out. The two families, including the elderly and children, had a total of forty-six people killed. However, the girl who was the murderer was only sentenced to forty-six. Years in prison, this incident caused a sensation throughout Fontaine at the time.

Even the Grand Inquisitor Navilette couldn't help showing surprise when he received the result of the Cardinal's ruling.

The murderer girl, without saying a word, confessed to her crime, and was quietly sent to Merlot Petersburg, and has not been heard from since.

Although she was imprisoned, the turmoil caused by it has not subsided, because the two noble families who were slaughtered were not clean at all, and many people were applauding them.

In the end, public opinion in Fontaine was divided into two factions. One faction believed that the nobles deserved their death and killed them directly to gain advantage.

The other group believes that the elderly and children should not be killed. Children are innocent anyway, and they should not be so angry and kill everyone.

Safir didn't know these things, and even if she knew, she would just dismiss them. In fact, she let the children go and said she would kill them next time they met.

But unfortunately, she had always had an excellent sense of direction and suddenly got lost, and accidentally ended up where the child was...

In short, the name Saffir has become a topic of conversation among people in Fontaine, and it has not been forgotten even after more than ten years.

Walter Montaigne also remembered her, that's why he was so frightened. When Safir became the executive officer of the Fools, she was indeed listed as a key investigation target by various forces, but that was only a matter that the big shots considered, and civilians did not touch it at all. The source of this kind of news.

"Waltermontaigne, yes, I remember it." Safire nodded lightly.

Waltermontaigne was paralyzed, but she hoped that the girl in front of her could completely forget her. Although she didn't think there was anything wrong with Saffir's approach in her heart. Everyone knew the principle of eradicating the weeds, but understanding was one thing. , facing is another matter.

He was able to kill so many people without hesitation when he was less than ten years old. Appearing in front of such a guy, Walter Montaigne felt that his life was not guaranteed.

"Da Shan, how are you? You don't look too good, are you okay?" Xiao Mao noticed something was wrong with Walter Montaigne and asked aloud.

Safire was a little confused: "Big mountain?"

She looked at Walter Montaigne: "Is that what your name means? Sorry, I've been away from Fontaine for a long time, and I don't remember the common sayings there."

"It doesn't matter..." Walter Montaigne said quickly, wiping the cold sweat on his face. "Because the name is too difficult to pronounce, and it is difficult for people in Liyue to pronounce it accurately, so I asked Xiao Mao to call me that."

Safire nodded in understanding: "Indeed, Liyue's writing is relatively complicated. Generally, only two or three characters are needed to avoid duplicate names. Moreover, if it is too long, it is not in line with Liyue's culture, so most people use two characters. A name of one character or three characters. To the people of Liyue, your name is nothing more than a string of garbled characters, so it is normal to have difficulty remembering it.

Speaking of which, you don't look like a tourist. This outfit..." Safir looked at it carefully, "from the Academy of Sciences? "

"Well, I am indeed a researcher at the Academy of Sciences." Walter Montaigne said resignedly. "Because I couldn't stand that hellish place, I applied for a transfer and came here. But I didn't have much luck. I was in the wild in the mountains in the south. While swimming, it suddenly fogged up, and there was a beast as big as Etienne-Louis staring at me in the fog. At that time, I thought it was going to be over! Then...

Xiaomao suddenly appeared and shouted to me. I followed the voice and walked out of the fog, and was saved. Otherwise, if I were eaten like that, my family wouldn’t even be able to get workers’ compensation compensation. "

Speaking of this matter, Walter Montaigne was still a little frightened, and for a while he couldn't even care about being afraid.

Safire shook his head: "This treatment is not as good as the fools. At least we still have death pensions here."

"That's not the problem!" Walter Montaigne argued, "Because the death cannot be confirmed, the superiors will definitely shirk the blame and finally handle the matter coldly!"

In response, Safire nodded with understanding: "Well, bullying the people is indeed an important means for those people to make money, which is understandable."

After a conversation, Walter Montaigne suddenly discovered that Saffir was not as scary as the rumors said. This girl, who was similar to her age or even younger, was much more easy-going than he thought. Although her temperament was a bit cold, she was Overall, we can still communicate, no, that's not appropriate to say.

It should be said that Walter Montaigne felt very happy getting along with Safire. If her previous stereotypes were discarded, she would really like to become friends with this girl.

Thinking of this, she looked at Saffir carefully. Before, she didn't dare to look at him because of fear.

"Is there something on my face?" Safire touched his cheek for no apparent reason.

Waltermontagnier shook his head and sighed: "I feel that you are very different from the rumors."

"You mean the 'bloody fire case'?" Safire immediately knew what she wanted to say.

She committed such a crime and then burned down two mansions. The media in Fontaine called the case a "bloody fire case."

Walter Montaigne nodded: "They all say you are crazy and unable to communicate. But today I feel that is not the case."

"Every noble has his own interest group. Fontaine's justice is maintained because of the existence of Navilette, but the right to speak is still in the hands of the interest group of the nobles. They empathize with those scum and will naturally spare no effort to fight against them. Discredit me.

Isn't it their specialty to guide public opinion and use force to suppress others? "Saphire looked indifferent and didn't take all this seriously at all.

Walter Montaigne thought for a moment and nodded. That's what it means to have the right to speak. Those people can always use money and connections to fool the masses and let the masses make the voices they want. After all, rational people are in the minority, and most people are still used to it. To go with the flow.

"Speaking of which, you just mentioned a ferocious beast?" Safir didn't want to continue discussing this matter. She didn't bother to speculate on the thoughts of those nobles. If she was offended, at worst, she would kill another batch and then run away. , she is no longer what she was then, and even Villette can't do anything to her.

"Well, that time it really scared me to death!" Walter Montaigne stroked his chest, obviously not getting over the fright.

Safire thought for a while and said, "I'm going to go look for him. Maybe I know that guy."

She decided to go up the mountain first. She always felt that there was something wrong with that beast. Maybe she would understand why she had such a premonition after seeing it.
