Original God's Dark Priest

In the trial place of the Epiphany Hall, Tirzad was whizzing through the air, carried by the wings behind him.

The man flew far away before his voice could be heard from afar: "Jie-De--" When he flew closer again, the follow-up words were heard again, "Think--quickly--"

Jade stared blankly at Tirzad as he whizzed past again and again, occasionally uttering a few words that barely formed a sentence.

She was very tired. She didn't know why this idiot Tirzad couldn't even control wings. After thinking for a while, she lowered her head and asked Veronica in her hand: "Is there no way to make him stop?"

"Of course, just remove the Holy Wings." Veronica replied quickly.

But Jade understood the meaning behind its words: "The wings are gone, and he is falling at this speed..."

"Well, he will die miserably." Sure enough, Veronica's answer did not surprise Jade at all.

She felt helpless. Looking at Tirzad whizzing past again and again, her head hurt even more. Should she continue to do the job?

Just as Jade was scratching her head, not knowing what to do, Veronica in her hand suddenly trembled twice, then broke away from her control, turned into a tall woman, and floated quietly in the air.

"Is this your true face?" Looking at Veronica's true form, Jade's eyes flashed with surprise.

Veronica did not answer her question, but stretched out her hand. Tirzad, who was originally out of control in the air, stopped and was grabbed by her by the back of the collar.

Tirzad was frightened and turned pale, gasping for breath in Veronica's hands. At this time, he was no longer in the mood to care about how this person appeared. He just told the other party not to let go.

Because they are still at a very high altitude, if they let go now and Tirzad falls, the result will probably be nothing but death given his physical condition.

"Aren't you a scholar? Can't you learn how to use your wings?" Veronica frowned and asked unhappily.

Tirzad felt aggrieved and he didn't know why this happened.

If Saphir saw this scene, he would probably understand that Tirzad was an ordinary person. His mental strength was not strong, so it was difficult for him to control the Holy Wings cast by Veronica.

If it was Saphir who exerted the power, she would have control over the Holy Wings and would naturally not lose control. However, this was not Veronica's inherent ability after all, so she was not as handy in using it as Saphir, which led to Tirzad's loss of control.

With a deep sigh, Veronica compromised: "Forget it, I'll take you with me. Let's finish the trial as soon as possible. We don't have much time left."

Tirzad was dejected. In fact, when he obtained the Holy Wings, he was quite looking forward to it. After all, flying was still a novel experience for humans.

But the facts proved that he was really not cut out for adventure. He couldn't even master the Wings of Holiness and almost got himself killed. He no longer dared to expect more adventurous situations.

All I can say is that he can't take any risks, so he can only be a scholar in his life.

Veronica felt like she was destined to be a hard worker. Saphir was already troublesome enough, and now he had to deal with this outrageous thing, Tirzad.

It really feels tiring.

With Tirzade and Jade, I finally completed the three trials with some difficulty. More than half a day had passed.

The sun will set in a little while.

At the moment when the trial was completed, the scepters in the hands of the three bird-headed human statues standing here suddenly emitted a golden halo, and then each of them shot out a golden ray of light, directly hitting the void in front.

Under the illumination of the golden light, a blue protective shield suddenly appeared and then began to slowly dissolve.

This protective shield obviously has more than just a protective effect. It should also have the ability to distort light. Otherwise, Akhmār would not have been able to hide the huge Epiphany Hall with just this.

After the protective shield dissolved, the huge suspended city appeared before everyone's eyes. This is the full view of the Epiphany Hall.

When we returned to the camp, Saffire and Gabriel were already cooking. It was Saffire who was cooking again, while Gabriel stood by and watched and helped.

While Tirzad and Jade were dealing with the trial, Saphir and Gabriel chatted for a while about cooking.

It must be said that Jade had indeed suffered a lot following Gabriel. Saphir didn't know how Jade had grown up. She couldn't eat barbecue every meal, right? Wouldn't she be sick of it?

Gabriel had no words to refute this. In fact, their living conditions were indeed ordinary, and they only ate to fill their stomachs. They had no mood to pursue taste at all.

Fortunately, now that they have joined the Fatui and are under the command of Saphir, they can also go to Chen Ge Hu for meals in the future, which solves this problem.

But this is not an excuse for Gabriel not to learn cooking. Safir still asks him to learn how to cook well. After all, the canteen cannot only rely on other countries to help in the kitchen. She plans to select some people from her subordinates to join.

As Gabriel and Jade have not yet had time to adapt to the others, she plans to arrange them in the first batch, allowing them to gradually adapt to the pace of life here while helping in the kitchen, which can be regarded as creating a buffer opportunity for them.

After dinner, Safir decided to completely resolve the matter here tonight. If it was delayed any further, Ying's situation would probably be over. He couldn't let Ying and the others wait then, right?

Looking up at the Epiphany Hall that had been waiting for them for a long time, Saphir's eyes showed anticipation: "The preparations are complete. Next, we will follow the footsteps of our predecessors and pay homage to the Red King."

"If there is still the Red King in there." Gabriel made a lukewarm joke.

Tirzad's focus was not here. He had been frowning since the Holy Epiphany Hall appeared. At this moment, he finally spoke up and asked the question in his mind: "In fact, I have wanted to ask since just now, how did this big... castle appear?

If it had always been here, then why couldn't we see it just now? And if it wasn't there, then where did it appear now?"

"Don't underestimate the wisdom of the Red King." Saphir chuckled and cast the Wings of Holiness on everyone. "As for how the Holy Epiphany Hall disappeared and reappeared, I'll leave it to you to study later. This time, we are only concerned about the Red King's legacy."

Tirzad was a little panicked. He had no time to think about anything else. Ever since he lost control just now, he had an instinctive fear of flying.

But Saphir would not give him time to be afraid. With the flapping of the wings behind her, the crowd left the ground and rushed to the high Epiphany Hall.

Tirzad was just about to close his eyes and scream, but he found that the Holy Wings seemed to be particularly obedient this time, with no signs of losing control at all.

Feeling all this, Tirzad slowly opened his eyes and found that he was flying very steadily, which surprised him: "Huh? Not out of control! Not running rampant! Great! So this is what flying feels like?"

"Did you lose control just now?" Safire asked curiously.

Jade quickly replied, "More than that, you didn't see what Tirzad did just now. He was like a headless fly, running around everywhere. I was scared by him!"

"I see. Although Veronica has her own consciousness, she is still a weapon after all. The Holy Wings she displays cannot be controlled by her own consciousness, but must rely on the mental power of the person who has the ability. It is reasonable that Tirzad cannot control it." Saphir only thought about it for a few seconds and understood the reason.

After hearing this, Jade nodded as if she understood, and stopped talking. No one knew what she was thinking.

It was Tirzad, however, who looked at Safir with an inquiring look in his eyes: "Um... Miss Safir, can I ask you for a favor?"

"No." Saphir refused without even turning his head.

Tirzad was choked and shouted unwillingly: "I haven't even told you what it is!"

"Want to study my abilities? Do you know what the price is in other countries?" Safire asked directly.

Tirzad was stunned. He really wanted to study Saphir's abilities, but he didn't have this idea in his mind at first. He was just curious why there was such a big difference between Saphir and Veronica when using the same skill.

Now that it was pointed out by Safire, he realized that he was actually trying to analyze the deepest secrets of a Fatui executive.

This frightened him so much that he broke into a cold sweat. Once he said this, Saphir would have no problem killing him. If he tried to find out about this, he could even be labeled a spy.

"No, no, no, I said the wrong thing, Miss Safire. I absolutely have no intention of prying into your secrets! Really, please believe me." Tirzad still had a desire to survive, and quickly denied it.

Saphir was at the front and smiled and shook his head: "Prepare to land."

As she spoke, she flapped her wings and flew into the entrance of the Epiphany Hall, followed by the others, who filed in one after another.

Standing firmly on the floor of the Epiphany Hall, Tirzad jumped twice on the spot and said with some emotion: "My life is really eventful!"

"Just the ups and downs of today are worthy of the eventful life you mentioned?" Jade looked at Tirzad with some amusement.

Tirzad said with a serious face: "You don't understand. What I have experienced in the past few days, no, even today, is something that most scholars in the Faithful Court will never have the chance to experience in their lifetime. Isn't this magnificent?"

"Since you have experienced more, your vision should be higher. Otherwise, what is the difference between you and the frog in the well? You are still a frog even if you jump out of the well. No one cares whether a frog's life is magnificent or not." Safire couldn't help but mutter to him.

Tirzad shrugged nonchalantly: "In fact, I have always been very self-aware. According to common sense, someone like me will never have any intersection with a big shot like you in this life. It was just an accident that made our destinies intersect.

But, this is just a coincidence. After all, we are not from the same world. Gabriel and Jade can join the Fatui and follow you in the future.

But it is impossible for me to have such an honor. After this time, I will return to my previous life. The improvement of my vision will not help me, or in other words, my life will not change. Even if there is, it will not bring about changes that allow me to transcend my current level.

Miss Safire, as you said, I jumped out of the well, but I will jump back in. The short time I spent outside the well is enough to make me stand out among the frogs.

The magnificent things I mentioned are in contrast to those frogs that you look down upon."

He looked sincere when he said this, without feeling any shame at all. Perhaps, this was Tirzad's truest thought.

After staring at Tirzad for a few seconds, Saphir smiled and sighed: "I see, you are a very clear-headed person. It can be seen that you have understood a lot of things during this journey."

"Thanks to your help." Tirzad smiled and ended the topic.

He focused his attention on the mechanisms in the Epiphany Hall: "The mechanisms here should not have been working for a long time. We must first find a way to restart them."

"Come to think of it, everything related to the Red King is very big. Do you think the throne is also a very big chair? I wonder what it would feel like to sit on it?" Jade suddenly said something nonsensical.

Gabriel glanced at his heartless daughter, thought for a moment, and then said, "I guess it won't feel very good."

While they were talking, Benben made a burst of mechanical transmission noise and then flew towards the passage below.

Noticing Benben's actions, Jiede was a little confused: "What happened to Benben? It seems like it wants to go downstairs?"

"Let's follow and see. Benben has many secrets. I guess this sudden change must be related to the Red King's throne." Saphir suggested.

Everyone had no objection and immediately followed Benben to the lower level.

After walking with Benben for a while, they came to an empty hall, and what came into view was a trial field.

Looking at this venue, Saphir's mouth twitched: "Another triple trial? Isn't it... that guy Akhmal likes this number so much?"

"Leave it to me. After the operations during the day, I'm already very skilled." Tirzad immediately stepped forward and took the initiative to take the job on himself.

In fact, he was not really so hardworking. It was just because the Holy Wings were out of control during the day, so he could only rely on Veronica's control and direct Veronica to do the decryption.

Now, he finally has the ability to fly under his own control, and he wants to fly to his heart's content.

Perhaps it was the experience he gained from decrypting during the day, or perhaps it was the ability to act independently that greatly improved Tirzad's decryption efficiency. This time the decryption went very smoothly and at an unreasonably fast speed.

In Saphir's eyes, Tirzad held the slate and waved the wings behind him, constantly flying across the air in the hall. Then, one mechanism after another was quickly activated by him and then connected under his guidance.

Even with the most critical eyes, Tirzad did not make any unnecessary movements. In response, Saphir nodded slightly. She recognized Tirzad's academic and decryption skills.

"That's it, it's done." Tirzad finished activating the last mechanism and breathed a sigh of relief, "We can go to the upper level to meet the Red King's throne."
