Original God's Dark Priest
Chapter 421 Red Moon and the "King"
Overnight at the Red King's Mausoleum.
This is a novel experience.
Although the environment here is much better than the wild, there is no cold wind and no crisis that may occur at any time.
But it is a tomb after all, and the air here is always filled with an indescribable smell of decay.
This is because the air here is not circulating. Fortunately, the smell is not particularly strong, so you just have to endure it for a while.
Safir began to modify the teleportation array, while on the other side, Gabriel and others sat opposite each other and began to summarize today's gains.
In fact, after a busy day, the biggest gain for the few people was entering the interior of the Red King's Mausoleum. As for other things, there was really nothing.
However, Tirzad understood one thing, that is, the rumors about the Red King's cruelty were probably false.
Because if the Red King is really cruel, then the magic circle left here is not for teleportation, but for annihilation.
To be able to build such a large mausoleum, Akhmār must have had considerable resources at his disposal. In fact, from a functional point of view, the energy consumed for teleportation is far greater than that for destruction.
After all, one is just a simple energy weapon, while the other requires a high-precision energy circuit, a complex formation, and a large amount of energy reserves to be launched.
No matter from which perspective, the teleportation array seems a bit redundant.
But it is precisely this point that proves from the side that the Red King himself is not bloodthirsty.
Otherwise, he would not have to care about the lives of the tomb robbers, and it would be easier to kill them directly.
Because there are candlelight and the temperature is acceptable, there is no need to light a bonfire tonight.
But since there was no source of food in the tomb, Gabriel could not help with dinner.
After dealing with the formation, Safir had no choice but to heat up the oil in a pan and start cooking dinner.
As expected, Tirzad once again had his mouth full of oil and his belly bulged.
After cleaning up the tableware and throwing the leftovers into the dust song pot, Safir went straight into the tent to sleep.
Noelle will take care of the tableware and other things, so Saphir doesn't need to worry about them.
It has been more than a year since Noelle's last abduction plan, and now she is getting ready to abduct her to work for the Fatui again.
Safir went to rest. There was no need to keep watch, after all, there was no danger here.
But Gabriel decided to lean aside and take a nap, as if he was keeping watch.
Jade went into the tent and rested with Saphir.
As for Tirzad.
He didn't have a tent, so he could only find a flat place to sleep in a sleeping bag.
Silent all night.
The next morning, Saphir opened her eyes. She had a good rest last night, without nightmares, and she was in a good mood.
Gently moving Jade's thigh away from her stomach, Saphir gathered her loose hair and yawned.
Then she took out a hairband, tied up her long hair, and walked out of the tent.
Gabriel had already woken up and was sitting quietly by the side, wondering what he was thinking about.
"Good morning, Gabriel. Have you not slept all night again? Your body won't be able to take it." Saphir rubbed his eyes and greeted Gabriel.
Gabriel nodded in response, and then said, "I slept for a while last night, it's okay. I've been in the desert for days and nights without sleep before, and the conditions now are not that harsh."
After hearing what Gabriel said, Saphir tilted his head and said nothing.
If Gabriel wants to do it, let him do it. Anyway, she can handle any emergencies along the way, so there is no need to worry.
Tirzad and Jade were still asleep, so Saphir simply took out the cave pass and went to Chen Ge Hu to get some breakfast.
She doesn't want to cook all the time, it's too troublesome.
Noelle has been busy in the cafeteria since early morning, and the person helping in the kitchen today... is actually Ying!
Seeing the purple figure, Saphir turned and ran. After running two steps, a cold voice came from behind: "If you run again, I will draw my sword."
"Uh... hehe... how can that be, I just want to go back and change my clothes first..." Saphir smiled awkwardly, stopped, then turned around and looked at Lord Thor with waist-length hair slowly walking towards him.
The magnificent curve of her chest brought a suffocating feeling of oppression, and Saphir couldn't help swallowing.
"What are you afraid of? It was the same last time. When you heard that I was the chef, you ran faster than a rabbit and took a boat back to Zhidong overnight?" Ying lowered his head and looked at Saphir with a bad tone.
Saphir coughed lightly, avoiding Ying's gaze, and thought for a moment before saying, "I was really in a hurry last time, not because I didn't want to taste your cooking, really."
As she spoke, she raised three fingers as if she was swearing.
Ying frowned and looked at her. After a few seconds, he said, "Actually, I'm not the one helping in the kitchen today. I also know what my cooking skills are like, so I'm here to learn."
"That's good." Saphir breathed a sigh of relief, but then immediately changed his words, "No, I mean, it's a pity."
Ying snorted coldly and ignored the guy.
Breakfast was still the usual menu. Noelle had wanted to make some steamed buns and fried dough sticks today, but because Ying came, she made some glutinous rice balls and sugar-filled biscuits, both of which were very characteristic of Liyue.
Safir originally wanted to take a few breakfasts and leave, but was caught by Ying and could not run away for a while, so he simply sat at the dining table and ate with Ying.
The other residents of Chen Ge Hu also came to eat one after another. Keqing, Qin, Yunjin, and Barbara all arrived relatively early. Saphir even met Navilette.
She couldn't believe it. Would Villette come to have dinner?
As if he had noticed her shocked look, Navelette, who was holding a bowl of soy milk, walked over to her and sat down. He put the porcelain bowl in his hand away and said, "Chen Gehu's canteen is a good idea. I like being able to taste different drinks from different countries."
"Oh...oh...I'm glad you like it." Saphir nodded woodenly, and the atmosphere fell silent. After a long time, she spoke again, "Will Funina come too?"
Villette swallowed the soy milk in his mouth and nodded slightly: "Ms. Funina recently found a residence here and is a frequent visitor to the cafeteria. She likes Miss Noelle very much, but..." As he spoke, he frowned slightly.
"But?" Saphir blinked in confusion, not understanding why Villette suddenly changed his mind at this time.
"Nothing, she got up quite late, so she might still be sleeping at this hour." Villette shook her head, obviously embarrassed by the laziness of her own god.
As soon as he finished speaking, Noelle continued, "Ms. Funina is indeed a very remarkable person. She always has some unique insights into cooking. Sometimes after chatting with her, I will suddenly understand something."
Safir didn't believe this at all. She chuckled and said, "Funina has unique insights into cooking? I'd rather believe that she's the kind of stay-at-home girl who chooses to eat fast food when no one prepares food for her."
"You know her well," Navrette agreed with Safire.
After finishing a bowl of soy milk, Villette stood up and nodded slightly to Saphir and Ying: "Eat slowly, I'll be leaving first."
"Goodbye." Saphir waved his hand, and Ying nodded to him.
After Villette's figure disappeared, Ying stared at Saphir without saying a word.
Safir was a little scared by her stare. The delicious mushroom and vegetable stuffed buns in her mouth no longer smelled good. Finally, she couldn't stand it anymore. She swallowed the food in her mouth and asked, "So what do you want from me? It's so scary when you keep looking at me like this..."
"Son of God, tell me, is it true that you said I am not the worst mother you have ever seen?" Ying hesitated for a moment and finally began to speak.
As soon as these words came out, Saphir couldn't hold back any longer: "No, sister, is this what you did for me?"
"Yes." Ying's expression was very serious, as if this matter was more important than eternity.
Saphir was somewhat helpless. She put down the things in her hands and took a long breath. "Yes, you are not the worst mother I have ever seen. There are many mothers worse than you. I said that just to arouse Scaramuchi... No, it's Shuanghua now, right? I wanted to arouse his resonance, that's all."
"I really can't understand how someone could be worse than me...Are you really not making this up? I thought giving up one's own child was outrageous." There was a shimmering purple light in Ying's eyes, which made her look very beautiful, and there was also a hint of gossip in her eyes.
Saphir understood that this guy probably wanted to find out some information. As everyone knows, there had been changes in the Fourth Seat of the Fatui. When Ying asked this question at this time, the target of his attack was... Arlecino?
Her eyes narrowed slightly, and her tone became a little distant: "Do you know anything about Hearth House?"
"I know a thing or two." Ying did not hide anything and spoke directly.
Saphir sneered and shook his head: "It's all in the past. There's no need to ask. You just need to know that there is only 'father' Alechino in the Hearth House now. Other things have nothing to do with you."
"The people from Hearth House once participated in the infiltration of Narukami Taisha Shrine and its castle tower. It's impossible for me not to take it to heart, so I thought of you. That 'Ye Fei' died in your hands." Ying was not going to give up and wanted to use this incident to get Saphir to provide some information.
But Safir was not so easy to fool. She picked up the soy milk at hand and drank it all, then said: "My original intention of dealing with Ye Fei was not to let him fall into your hands. Since you know that Ye Fei came from the Hearth House, you should understand that I also came from there.
Betrayal is not allowed in Hearth House. Betrayer will die. This is an iron rule. And why are you interested in Alechino? Is Inazuma going to break up with me completely? You can't be unaware of my relationship with her, right? "
"It's not what you think." Ying shook his head and denied, "I never thought of taking action against her, but we have been investigating the Fatui all the time. You should be able to understand that even if it is cooperation, you have said that the Fatui are not a monolithic group, so we have more or less investigated other executive officers.
And Alechino...it was Shuanghua who told me about this. Her power reminded me of a civilization that disappeared a long time ago, so I wanted to ask you if you knew about this."
"Hmm?" Saphir was a little confused. She really didn't know what the relationship between Alechino and ancient civilization was, so she asked tentatively, "Kanreya?"
Ying shook his head, then nodded: "Yes and no."
This statement made Safire even more confused: "What does this mean?"
"Kanria perished five hundred years ago, and the last dynasty was named 'Black Sun'. You should know this." Ying pondered for a moment and spoke.
Saphir nodded. She knew about the fall of the Black Sun Dynasty, and that it had led to a brutal war five hundred years ago. Only the ancient gods knew what happened in detail, and currently only Zhongli, Zhen, and Wendy knew about it.
Pal was not sure because she had never been to Kanreya.
The three people who knew about it were all very secretive about it. Saphir had asked Zhongli related questions, but Zhongli just shook his head and changed the subject, never answering her directly.
She was so angry that she wanted to hit someone.
While Saphir was lost in thought, Ying continued, "That was a dynasty older than Kanreya, called the Red Moon.
Therefore, I became interested in the previous servant and wanted to know where that person found her. After all, it was her bloodline that had gone through the long Black Sun Dynasty and five hundred years of turmoil. "
"I really don't know about this." Saphir looked at Ying seriously, "And Alecino may not know about this either. She is actually not very old. We don't know anything about the Red Moon Dynasty."
Ying had anticipated Saphir's reaction. Although Saphir knew a lot, a lot of her understanding of this world actually had a clear time frame, which was the Demon War, the Kanreya War, and recent years.
She knew almost nothing about the rest. It was as if she had chosen these few points in time to observe the world from another dimension.
The Red Moon Dynasty and things even older than that were beyond her observation range. So it was normal that Saphir knew nothing about it.
Safir is understanding them, and they are also understanding Safir, which is the basis for establishing cooperation.
Looking at Saphir's frown, Ying thought for a moment and threw out another piece of news: "I don't know much about the Red Moon Dynasty, but with Alecino's performance, I have no doubt that she has royal blood. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Is it another plot of revenge for one's own blood? One more death penalty imposed by heaven, right? It's nothing new." Saphir waved his hand. The Demon War, the Kanreya catastrophe, the final events, the death of Orobas, one by one, linked them closely together.
Together, we raise the banner of resistance against the law of nature. Before this world ushers in a new situation, the status quo is not so easy to break.
But Ying just shook his head slightly, ate the last glutinous rice ball in his hand and left.
She said nothing more because she believed that Saphir could understand what she meant.
After Ying left, Saphir closed his eyes and sighed.
How could she not understand? She just didn't want to delve into it.
She still remembered what her former servant Kujavina said when she first met him: "You came at the wrong time."
Yes, she came at the wrong time. There will always be one and only one "king" born in the Hearth House.
Alechino is destined to be the king of this generation, so Saphir, who also has the qualifications to be a "king", came at the wrong time.
"Peruvian, Saphir...you, will have a fight one day, hehe...I'm looking forward to it." These were the last calm words that Kugavina said when facing their joint attack.
She was confident that she would not be killed, but unfortunately, she underestimated Peruvili and Saphir's abilities, and she died.
The servants gave their lives to become the cornerstone for the new king to ascend the throne.
Until her death, there was still a hint of irony in the corners of Kujavina's mouth, as if she was saying that the combination of the two of them looked so ridiculous.
There can only be one "king", so Peruvian became the king, and Saphir left the Hearth House.
"Kugavina, that terrible mother, may be very vulgar, but I have to admit that she has a sharp eye." Saphir said in his heart, walked to Noelle, took four breakfasts, and left the cafeteria.
"But unfortunately, your shallow knowledge limits your thinking. My qualifications and ambitions have never been petty, 'king'."
