Original God's Dark Priest

Because they spent a long time in the Dust Song Pot, by the time Saphir returned to the Red King's Tomb, Jade and Tirzad had already woken up.

The two did not ask further questions. In their opinion, it was normal for Safire to have some mysterious methods. After all, he was the executive officer of the Fatui, so it was not surprising that his methods were different from those of ordinary people.

After distributing breakfast to several people, Saphir sat aside thinking about his own things.

Jade picked up the meat bun that Saphir brought her and took a big bite. Immediately, the taste of the delicious gravy and meat stuffing hit her taste buds, making her open her eyes wide.

Since she didn't bring Hong Ling, the surprise and astonishment in her golden eyes were all seen by Tilzad and Gabriel.

Without having time to speak, Jade quickly finished the bun in her hand, and then said, "Wow, sister, where did you get this? It's delicious!"

There is no such food in Xumi, which is also a feature of Liyue. Jade has followed Gabriel since she was a child and has basically no chance to eat these things.

Compared to her, Tirzad was much better. Although the special food of Liyue was relatively new to him, he still had some knowledge and did not lose his composure.

Of course, he still ate until he was fully full.

Gabriel was not very interested in food, so after filling his stomach he left the rest to Jade, and then he came behind Saphir who was sitting in meditation.

"Lord Saphir, is there a problem?" he asked in a low voice that only the two of them could hear.

Saphir shook his head: "It has nothing to do with you."

After hearing this, Gabriel gave up asking questions. Since Saphir said so, he didn't want to continue asking.

After they finished their breakfast, the group continued on their journey.

Safir felt that it was almost time, and he thought that everyone over there was ready.

If he continued to move forward at this time, he would most likely run into Samel. He hoped that guy would move faster, otherwise, Safir wouldn't have the energy to wait for him to finish speaking.

She was afraid that she would not be able to control herself and would take action.

On the other side, Samel, who was being talked about by Saphir, was advancing with a group of Fatui advance team.

"Samel, you said you can open this big tomb and let us get the Red King's legacy? Is that true?" The leading Rock Envoy guerrilla soldier asked impatiently, holding his cane in his hand.

He is the team leader in charge of the desert. According to the Fatui advance team's code of conduct and governance rules, his current superior is Safire, the executive officer in charge of Xumi affairs.

As the second in command, Saphir was extremely lofty and unattainable in the eyes of many members of the advance team, and this team leader was no exception.

This time, Sameer contacted him and wanted to cause trouble for Tirzad and Gabriel. He weighed the pros and cons and felt that he could take action.

After all, if he really gained something, he could take it to Xumi City to ask Saphir for credit.

He didn't think about whether he could find the executive officer.

Because everyone knows that if you want to find the executive officer, you just need to find his personal soldiers first. Safir's personal soldiers are currently in Weimo Manor. As long as you go there, you won't have to worry about not finding Safir.

So the team leader took decisive action.

Samel felt a little unhappy when being questioned. In his opinion, these Fatui were all idiots. As long as he could get the Red King's legacy, these idiots would be the first ones to be killed.

But now, he still needs to pay attention to his attitude. After all, he will definitely not be able to defeat them with the fighting power of a Fatui vanguard.

Sameer took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, and then said softly: "Many years ago, I killed a scholar who was studying this. Because I killed her, the research on the Red King's Mausoleum was interrupted.

But I got some of her research data, and that guy is only one step away from unveiling the mystery of the Red King's Tomb. Do you know what this means?

As long as we set out now, everything in the Red King's Mausoleum will be ours."

"But you also said that the scholar is dead. Can you continue her research by yourself?" The team leader sneered. He didn't think Samel had that ability.

Sameer smiled back, "Of course I can't, but the research tablet that guy used was brought here by someone else. Now it is estimated that several people have entered the Red King's Mausoleum. Why don't we go and intercept them?"

"Wow... So this is the way of robbery! Sameer, although your name is very similar to our great executive officer, your behavior is not like her at all." The captain said sarcastically.

Sameer was not angry. He turned around and walked towards the Red King's Mausoleum: "It is my honor. As for her behavior, in my opinion, she probably just wants to maintain the dignity of a 'big shot'. As for what kind of person your lord is..."

"Shua" Before he could finish, the guerrilla soldier pointed his cane at the back of his head. A hint of murderous intent began to spread.

Sameer turned his back to the team leader and slowly raised his hands.

The captain's exposed single eye was filled with coldness: "Samel, I'm warning you for the last time. Don't make irresponsible remarks about the Dark Priest. You... are not worthy."

“…” Sameer gritted his teeth and raised his hands. He felt a little humiliated and began to hate Saphir.

"Just wait, when I get the Red King's inheritance, all of you guys will die." He thought hatefully in his heart.

Safir and his party continued walking in the Red King's Mausoleum and finally came to a hall.

Looking at the door in front of her, Jade twisted her waist and sighed: "Finally I have seen something like this. This thing that looks like a container should also be some kind of mechanism, right? Let's finish it quickly."

"This should be the end, Jade, be patient, we will be able to complete the task soon." Gabriel spoke to comfort his daughter.

Jade nodded silently when she heard that. She didn't actually feel tired, but the long period of repetitive exploration made her a little irritated.

Safier took out the slate silently. It was an unwritten rule to use the slate when encountering a mechanism.

Sure enough, after she took out the slate, the sapphire on the container lit up, and then emitted a blue light, shining on the slate.

An inscription then lit up on the stone slab. Now two inscriptions lit up on it, making it look even more magical.

As the inscriptions on the stone slabs lit up, a platform in the hall that was originally empty suddenly appeared with something like a 3D projection, showing the surrounding environment in detail. Not only that, the projection was also mixed with a lot of text information, but these were the words of the desert civilization, and only Tirzad could read them among the people present.

Seeing this projection, Tirzad was very surprised and couldn't help but speak: "This is..."

"The slate really lights up, and..." Jade looked at the projection, and something familiar appeared in her mind, "Is this a map?"

Tirzad did not answer, he was concerned about something else: "This kind of inscriptions are mostly words of praise. As a superior, the Red King must like such things, right?

While it is possible that these are evidence of the Red King's benevolence, the possibility that these wonders were lost is a whitewash of his rule.

I think we should not draw conclusions too hastily, as the evidence is still insufficient.”

Gabriel watched Tirzad digest the information quietly without disturbing him. In his opinion, as a scholar from the rainforest, it was very difficult for Tirzad to look at all this objectively. If it were someone else, they would have insisted that this was an illusion long ago.

"Although I don't want to say this, I still have to remind you that it is possible for a ruler to whitewash all his actions. These things cannot be used as ironclad evidence to vindicate the Red King. Even I dare not believe the content of these texts 100." Tirzad was afraid that Safir would say he was being stubborn, so he hurried to explain.

But Saphir didn't care about these things. She knew exactly what kind of person the Red King was. However, at her level, there was no need for her to get involved in these disputes.

The Red King did not care about his reputation after his death, and felt that his merits and demerits should be left to future generations to judge.

As a demon who had died once, Saphir understood this feeling very well.

Therefore, she would not say much about whether humans’ evaluation of the demon god was good or bad, including their evaluation of Guizhong.

Perhaps, humans cannot understand such feelings, but to use a not-so-appropriate metaphor, humans do not care about the ants' evaluation of them, because they can kill them with a single move of their hands, and besides, humans cannot hear such evaluations.

That’s how the Red King is, he can’t hear and doesn’t care.

So there is no need for Safire to vindicate him. Let the scholars handle these matters. With their conscience and their original intentions, let's see if they can restore a more authentic history.

As he spoke, Tirzade touched his chin and chuckled, "Come to think of it, everything here is equivalent to the work of the Red King, right? If you reflect on your own shortcomings in your own works, haha... scholars will really do this.

Of course, probably, they...um...we, would only write a few hypocritical sentences like this in the acknowledgments of the paper.

Moreover, this is just an excuse for self-deprecation. How could anyone in the academic world really think that they are unlearned and unskilled…”

Having said that, Tirzad suddenly fell silent. These words directly broke his own weakness.

Because he said a few days ago that he was uneducated.

Seeing Tirzad being stabbed by his own boomerang, Safir was speechless. Did this old guy drink too much this morning? Can soy milk make you drunk?

Before she could complain, Tirzad quickly got rid of his loss, and he sighed: “Actually, I believed it a long time ago.

At first, I pretended to admit Gabriel's point of view just because I was intimidated by Miss Safir's military force, but I still disdained it in my heart. However, after seeing so much evidence, I also understood that no matter how much I said, it would not change the fact that the House of Ordinances did slander the Red King.

I am not a stubborn person, Gabriel, and I apologize."

Gabriel looked at Tirzad who looked serious, and slowly turned his head away: “You don’t have to be like this, as long as you are willing to look at all this objectively, that’s all.

It doesn't matter whether you can change other scholars' minds later. It doesn't matter.

Because, the Red King, doesn’t care.”

"That's true. How could gods care about the opinions of mortals? Let alone gods, if I had as much power as Miss Saphir, I wouldn't care what those people in the House of Lords think of me." Tirzad nodded in agreement.

As soon as he finished speaking, Saphir hit him on the head.

Tirzad felt the pain and immediately covered his head, aggrieved, "What's wrong, my young lady? I didn't say anything bad about you this time, why did you hit me again?"

Saphir glanced at him calmly and said, "I don't eat beef."

Tirzad:?

Gabriel:?

Jade burst out laughing.

Tirzad was confused: "No... Is there any necessary connection between these two?"

"That's irrelevant, isn't it? Her not eating beef has nothing to do with you, just like her beating you has nothing to do with what you did.

She wants to tell you that this is what arrogance looks like." Jade explained with a smile.

Saphir smiled and rubbed Jade's head: "No matter how strong you are, you can't ignore other people's opinions, otherwise you will become inhuman. Of course, Tirzade, don't worry, you won't be able to reach this day."

"These words are too hurtful." Tirzad hung his head.

Looking at the funny Tirzad, Safir shook his head and changed the subject: "Okay, let's get back to the topic. Look at this map. The place marked on it is our next destination."

"That's right. I think that's where all the treasures are gathered and where all the secrets end." Tirzad quickly got into the state and said confidently, "Of course, that will also be the end of our great journey, the penultimate chapter of my unfinished masterpiece!"

There is no time to lose, so we have to set off quickly.

But as the saying goes, if nothing unexpected happens, then something unexpected will happen.

Just as they turned around and prepared to leave, Samel appeared with a vanguard of Fatui.

"Ha! We meet again! Dear Gabriel! And, the sharp-tongued little girl..." Samel's arrogant voice rang out, and a group of people blocked the way of Safir and his companions.

Sameer was very satisfied with the way he had appeared, and wanted to appreciate the expressions of several people who were caught off guard, especially those of Gabriel and Saphir.

But unfortunately, Safir and the others all looked indifferent, and some even looked at him as if he were a fool.

Sameer was very confused and didn't know what went wrong.

But he didn't think much about it, he walked forward and looked at Gabriel closely: "You are so cold, forget it last time, it was too hasty, this time, you are not going to drink a glass of strong wine with me and say cheers?

I have long since let go of the past. You know me. 'Samel means what he says', right?

Now, Thutmose still has a place for you, and as long as you wish, everything can remain the same. Not only that, what Babel owed us in the past... can also be recovered later."

The Fatui behind him were so frightened that they could hardly stand. Samel called them to intercept, but he didn't say that they were intercepting Saphir's beard!

If Safir were to blame for this incident, they would probably have their heads chopped off. Safir's rule was indeed more lenient, but she had never been lenient in dealing with her enemies.

As long as she identifies someone as an enemy, that person is definitely not far from death.

And now, with the appearance of Sameer, a rude guy, they were afraid that they would be treated as enemies and be eliminated.

Just as the rock guerrilla was about to do something, Saphir's eyes fell on him, and then he saw Saphir close his eyes and shake his head slightly.

This is a signal not to act rashly.

When the team leader saw this scene, he was immediately overjoyed. Safir did not blame anyone. It could be said that this was the best news he had ever heard in his life.

At that moment, he immediately communicated privately with other members of the team. They all accepted Saphir's instructions and did not choose to act rashly. Instead, they stood quietly behind Samel and watched this fool continue to commit suicide.

After talking about Gabriel, Sameer pointed the finger at Saphir: "Little girl! Weren't you very arrogant last night? Now that I have brought so many people here, show me how arrogant you are again! Hmm?"

As he said this, he wanted to step forward and teach Saphir a lesson.

But he had just taken two steps when Gabriel's iron tower-like figure blocked his way.

Gabriel was very tall, a head taller than Samer, so when he looked at Samer, he was looking down on him.

"Samel, I used to think you weren't very smart, but now it seems that you are even more stupid than I thought. Take my advice and just leave. You might still be able to survive. If you keep jumping, no one can save you."
