Original God's Dark Priest

“Well, well, indeed, there is nothing to hide now.

I used to be a member of the Sand People, Thutmose. No matter what it was like in the past, it is now…” Gabriel pondered for a moment and slowly told the secret in his heart, “In short, Sameer is a complete lunatic, a madman who will do anything to achieve his goals.”

After hearing what Gabriel said, the others were not surprised, but they didn't feel anything either. After all, the description of a madman did not give them any sense of reality.

Fortunately, there were no other Fatui executives here, otherwise they would have stood up to refute: "Huh? You said that man is a lunatic? Then what about the guy next to you?"

Safire is the lunatic.

This is something that all executives recognize.

Gabriel paused, as if hesitating. After a few seconds, he seemed to make up his mind. He looked at Jade and said seriously, "Jade, there is something I must confess to you. That is... your mother."

"Eh? Mom?" Jade was stunned. Although she had prepared herself mentally when she knew that Gabriel was going to confess everything, she was still a little nervous when the moment really came.

As a child, how could she not want to know her mother? No one knew that in countless dreams, she desperately tried to catch up with a vague figure.

In countless midnight dreams, I woke up alone with my legs curled up, crying silently because of the longing buried deep in my heart.

How could a child not miss his mother? How could Jade be an exception?

But, she didn't know what her mother looked like, nor what her name was.

There was no trace of her mother in her life, as if she had been born that way.

But even so, she had imagined what her mother looked like.

When she was little, she tried to draw her father's appearance, and then compared her own reflection in the pond and drew her own appearance on paper.

In this way, a "family portrait" including her father and her was painted, but it was incomplete, because a complete family should have a "mother". So, comparing the differences between herself and her father, she began to use childish but firm strokes to outline the appearance of a woman who did not exist in her memory.

It was a child's, naive, abstract painting, but Jade regarded it as a treasure because in her mind, her mother should be like that.

As she and her father traveled around and were displaced, her childhood paintings were lost. That day, Gabriel was puzzled when he saw his depressed daughter.

Jade understood that she was different from other children and that she had never had a mother in her life.

As she grew up, she never mentioned the topic of her mother to her father again. It was not that she didn't care, but that she buried the longing deep in her heart.

She understood one truth when she was very young.

That is, there are some things that don't need to be said out loud, bury it deep in your heart, wait for it to rot and decay, and never be mentioned again, then it won't hurt, and everything will be fine.

She knew that she was not sick, she just learned to grow up.

Now, her father suddenly mentioned something about her mother, and Jade was a little overwhelmed to react for a moment.

When Jade slowly came to her senses, Gabriel said something that shocked Jade and Tirzad: "My wife, that is, Jade, your mother.

It was at Sameer's hands that he was killed."

"What..." Jade's brain froze the moment she heard this. She knew her mother was dead. Although she had never heard Gabriel say it himself, it was not difficult to tell based on some of his behaviors.

But in Jade's heart, there is still a fantasy: maybe her mother is not dead yet? Maybe she just doesn't want me or her father anymore, and she is living well in a corner of the world.

Have your own life, have your own pursuits. Meet new family members and spend the rest of your life with them.

My dad and I will not disturb her. We will just stay here and live the life we ​​should live. That's all.

Maybe we will meet again in the future. By then, it doesn’t matter if we don’t recognize each other...even if we just pass by each other in the crowd and don’t know each other.

Now that this fantasy was shattered, Jade felt a sharp pain in her heart.

But looking at her father with an ugly face, she didn't show it in the end. Instead, she said with some understanding: "So that's the case... No wonder my father never took the initiative to talk about my mother. Is it because of this..."

Gabriel let out a long sigh and spoke out the secret in his heart, which made him feel much more relaxed. He was also much calmer when facing Jade: "Your mother... is also a scholar. If it weren't for me, she would have had a better future...

At least she wouldn't have lost her life so young. I am sorry for her. Maybe our meeting was a mistake. No, there was nothing wrong with meeting her. The mistake was that I fell in love with her."

Seeing her father, who had always been as steady as a mountain, showing a guilty expression, Jade smiled bitterly. She turned around and looked at Tirzad, who was still shocked, and Saphir, who looked calm.

After a few seconds, he said, "Whether it's a desert or a rainforest, everyone can say you're wrong, except me...

I am not qualified to judge you.

Because...if your union with your mother was a mistake, then what am I?

Besides, although I don’t know much about love, I also know that love is a mutual thing. If only my father fell in love with my mother, I would not have been born. I guess my mother also loves my father deeply.

What do you think, Safir? A mother who is with her father must have no regrets, right? "

"How would I know such things? I've never been in a relationship." Safire spread her hands. Although she had complained more than once that Zhongli was a piece of stone, in fact she herself was not much better. For three lifetimes ago, she had been a single since birth.

Jade nodded in agreement: "That's right, who would dare to take advantage of you? That would be a desperate move."

Saphir's face suddenly darkened.

But before she could react, Jade stared at Saphir again as if she had discovered a blind spot: "Come to think of it, you don't seem surprised at all by what Dad said. Did you know about it from the beginning?"

"Yes." Safire admitted directly. There was nothing to hide.

Hearing her decisive admission, Jade immediately quit: "Then why didn't you kill that Sameer? And let him get away?"

"Wouldn't it be better to keep him? Don't you want to avenge your mother yourself?" Saphir's voice was a little seductive.

Jade immediately became interested. Yes, she wanted to avenge her mother so much. When she found out that Sameer was her mother's murderer, she couldn't wait to kill him.

Looking at Jade whose attention was diverted, Saphir pursed his lips and revealed a faint smile.

After Gabriel's death, Jade went to the Tanit tribe and was deceived by Babel into becoming a person who specialized in handling dirty work. Therefore, she could not integrate into the tribe where her father once lived.

Until the end, her desire to fit in was not responded to, and was instead replaced by an even more ruthless betrayal. She was tricked into the Fatui's base and handed over as a commodity.

If she had not been strong enough at the time to easily kill the advance team of the Fatui, she would have been sent to the Doctor's experimental table.

Of course, her violent behavior directly led to the annihilation of Zoya's team, a result that Saphir naturally wanted to avoid at all costs.

The Jade now is very different from the Jade back then. The most important point is that she has not experienced truly brutal fighting and has not been able to undergo a transformation.

However, Saphir was not in a hurry. She wanted to try to let Jade kill Samel with her own hands. If she could really do that, Jade could break through the shackles of her heart and gradually become stronger. At the same time, the change of her state of mind at that moment was extremely rare, and she was a good subject for observation.

Even Saphir herself didn't realize that since Dotore's death, she has become more and more like him. Even if there was no original agreement, she would still unconsciously carry out the content of the "blasphemy" experiment.

The observation of Scaramucci is still going on. At the same time, she will also find some suitable experimental subjects on her own and observe them by changing the other party's fate.

Jade is such a rare experimental subject, and she really wants to know what kind of surprises this girl can bring her.

Of course, before that, she still wanted to understand what happened, so she asked as she walked, "Jabrel, the difference in fighting power between you and Sameer doesn't seem to be that big, right? Your wife was killed by her, and you just stood aside and watched?"

This question is very sharp and hits the point. If Gabriel really loves Yufei, there is no reason for him to let Sameer kill her.

If Samel killed Yufei and Gabriel swallowed his anger and just left with Jade, it would mean that Gabriel didn't really love Yufei that much.

"Lord Dark Priest...your question...really leaves no room for negotiation." Gabriel had a bitter expression. It could be said that Saphir's question hit his sore spot.

If anyone else had dared to ask this question, Gabriel would have probably rushed up and started fighting with the other person, but the person who asked the question was Safir, and he would not dare to fight with Safir even if he had ten times the courage.

This man is truly a god, and Gabriel really doesn't have the ability to challenge him.

Saphir smiled and said nothing, just waiting for Gabriel's answer.

Jade and Tirzad also figured this out and became curious. Yufei's death was full of doubts and it could not be taken lightly. It was not as simple as Samel killing her.

If this is true, then either Gabriel is a coward, or he is a scumbag who pretends to be affectionate.

If you can't even protect your own wife, what kind of man is that? Even if you really fail to protect her, won't you take revenge afterwards?

Looking at the three pairs of curious eyes, Gabriel felt a little scared. He didn't know why he felt so panicked, as if the temperature around him had dropped several degrees. In addition, being in danger for a long time gave him an intuition.

That is, once he is targeted by a dangerous guy, he will get goose bumps all over his body, which can be considered a powerful early warning ability.

Wiping the goose bumps on his arms, Gabriel suppressed the throbbing in his heart and began to organize his words.

Saphir just walked beside him without disturbing him, but at the same time, she activated the assassination field, and all the murderous intent enveloped Gabriel. Because of this, Gabriel felt as if he was being stared at by a very ferocious beast.

After a while, Gabriel finally organized his words. He opened his mouth and told the story of the past: "These things are long, so let me first talk about my past.

As you all know, Sameer and I were once members of the Gilded Tour 'Thutmose'. But later, I betrayed him and Thutmose.

Therefore, I was given a very indecent name: Gabriel, the Sand of Betrayal. "

"Betraying Thutmose...was it because of your mother?" Jade couldn't help but ask.

But Gabriel shook his head and said, “That’s not the case… Alas, I thought I didn’t need to mention this to anyone… In the end, it’s all because of me.

In fact, Sameer and I had a grudge against each other for a long time, but at that time I just thought of myself as an insignificant grain of sand. I did what Thutmose wanted me to do.

Euphi was a capable scholar, and Thutmose coveted her wisdom, hoping to use her knowledge to solve the difficult problems left by Akhmār, the Red King.

So, I invited her to the desert and explored the ruins with her. "

"Haha... 'please'... This word is well used, Gabriel. I guess this method is not glorious." Saphir sneered.

Gabriel nodded: "Yes, it is not a glorious method. The invitation of the desert is as blazing as the scorching sun at noon. It is direct and irresistible. Lord Dark Priest is not unfamiliar with this method, so there is no need for me to elaborate, right?"

"Well, I understand, you go ahead." Safire nodded.

Rather than an invitation, it was more like abduction. In other words, Youfei was actually abducted to the desert by Gabriel at the beginning. This was an unexpected discovery.

After getting Saphir's approval, Gabriel continued, "Our exploration over the years has not been fruitless, but... these results are not enough to satisfy Thutmose."

After he said this, Tirzad suddenly raised his hand and asked weakly, "Wait a minute, this...'result' you mentioned, doesn't it include Jade?"

"Hmm?" Saphir blinked and looked at Tirzad, "Hiss...Aren't you being too straightforward?"

Tirzad immediately explained: "This is just a reasonable guess... I don't have any unhealthy thoughts! Besides, there shouldn't be any minors here, right? Jade is a person involved in this matter, so she can't be considered... that... Miss Saphir, are you an adult?"

"Shut up, I am an adult!" Saphir raised his hand and punched Tirzad on the head, then said to Gabriel, "You don't need to answer this question, just continue."

Gabriel felt helpless. In fact, this kind of thing was very common in the desert. However, it undoubtedly challenged the moral bottom line of people in the rain forest and other countries.

But he didn’t think too much about it. After all, he had been away from the desert for so many years and had seen a lot of different scenery. His psychological endurance was still very strong, so he really didn’t take it to heart, but continued: “As I said before, Sameer and I have had a grudge for a long time.

After Jade was born, I often asked myself, at this point, can I still carry out the tasks assigned to me by Thutmose exactly as I did in the past?

Can I continue to tolerate what Sameer did? In the end, Youfei and I decided to take Jade away from the desert and Thutmose temporarily, saying that we had reached a bottleneck in our research. "

At this point, Gabriel's tone became even lower: "But Sameer saw through my weakness... Haha... A scholar who cannot reveal the mystery of Akhmar for Thutmose is of no value to him...

He even thought that I was like him, without Euphie, there was no reason for me to leave Thutmose."

At this point, the answer is already very obvious. This is the reason why Samel killed Yufei. Jade felt very painful in her heart, but she just looked at Saphir quietly. She was very confused now and didn't know what to do.

But Safire was calm and just asked, "And then?"

"And then?" Gabriel was stunned. "And then... Yufei died. She was killed by Samel."

"You know that's not what I want to ask." Saphir shook his head coldly, "You know what I want to hear. Gabriel, you know that, right?"

"..." Gabriel gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and finally spoke, "That day, Sameer tricked me and took me away from Youfei.

By the time I realized something was wrong, Yufei and Jade had already been captured by him. He gave me a multiple-choice question that I still remember to this day:

My wife and my daughter, choose one."
