Original God's Dark Priest

At the gate of Mondstadt, Senor and Tinari walked side by side. Looking at the windmills in the city, Senor said with emotion: "I see large windmills again. How familiar."

"I understand. It's been a long time since you last came to Mondstadt, right?" asked Tinari.

Senor had been to Mondstadt before, and it was he who brought Cole to Xumi, so Tinari said this.

But Seno just shook his head slightly, and then suddenly made a cold joke: "No, think about it, the windmill should also be considered a kind of 'strong wind mechanism'."

Shocked by his words, Tinari held his forehead helplessly.

Saphir, who was being pulled towards here by Xier in the distance, also heard these words because her five senses were very sharp. She trembled and showed an uncomfortable expression.

She really didn't want to meet Seno, not only because of the cold joke, but also because of the Seven Saints Summons.

If that card player finds out that she is here, there's a good chance that this Windblume Festival won't be a success. Seno, who is after a powerful deck, will definitely pester her and won't stop at not getting all three cards.

The more I thought about Saphir, the more uncomfortable I felt.

Here, Seno thought that Tinari was holding his forehead because he didn’t understand, so he was still trying to explain: "Brain, brain! Is it so difficult to turn it around?

That is to say, the great disciplinary officer and…"

Before he could finish his explanation, little Paimon's voice rang out, interrupting his explanation and saving Tinari's life: "Tinari, Seno! Over here, over here!"

Cole, Sugar, Ying and Paimon were waving at the two of them at the city gate.

"Huh..." Seeing them, Tinari breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards them quickly, "It's great to see you."

Afterwards, Saphir, with a reluctant look on his face, was also dragged here by Xier.

"Huh? Saphir, you finally showed up? Xier is here too!" Little Paimon then noticed the arrival of the two.

Ying focused her attention on Rimuru in Saphir's hand: "Saphir, why are you holding a slime?"

"Slime is so cute, don't you like it?" Safir asked back.

Little Paimon was very excited: "Come to think of it, I haven't eaten slime chicken for a long time. Is this for a snack?"

“Wow, what’s wrong with this little guy? Can slime be eaten?” Rimuru couldn’t stand it anymore and asked.

"Ah!!! Slime... can talk?!" Little Paimon was shocked and quickly hid behind Ying.

Rimuru complained helplessly: "I am already tired of this kind of surprise. Are people in this world so poor at accepting things?"

"Your world isn't much better, is it? Or rather, this is the normal situation. Those who are so thick-skinned that they don't care about a talking slime are the ones who won't live long, right?" Safir curled the corners of her mouth. She felt annoyed and simply stopped explaining.

Seeing that Safir didn't want to explain, they didn't ask any further questions. Anyway, she always liked to do some incredible things, so they gradually got used to it.

There's no need to worry so much about a talking slime.

With this in mind, everyone focused their attention on people they didn't know.

Tinari looked at Sandu and asked, "Who is this..."

Cole quickly introduced: "It's Miss Sugar, Master. She is an alchemist of the Knights of Favonius. We just met not long ago."

After that, she introduced Tinari to Sandang: "Sandang, this is my master Tinari. He is recognized as an excellent forest ranger in Xumi and a very famous local botanist."

"Cole, you're exaggerating. Hello, I'm Tinari." Tinari was humble for a moment, then greeted Sugar.

Perhaps because of racial issues, Tinari, a wide-eared fox, felt very close to Sugar when he saw her ears, which were clearly not human characteristics.

Sugar felt the same way and immediately responded very seriously: "So you have a teacher too! Hello, Mr. Tinari, nice to meet you!"

Kelai respected Tinari very much, so she said with a little pride: "Yes, the teacher is very knowledgeable!" Then, she turned to introduce Seno, "This is the great discipline officer of the Xumi Teachings Institute, Mr. Seno, who is also a very powerful person!"

Because Cole has received a lot of help from Seno so far, he is very familiar with Seno.

Seno nodded slightly to Sand Sugar and said, "Hello. Let me first say that we are all here in a private capacity this time. Please don't take our profession too seriously, everyone in Mondstadt.

Ke Lai, remember not to call him "sir". If you must add a suffix, choose "sir".

"Well, we don't have anything important to do. We just came here to play with Cole." Tinari agreed with Seno's words.

After saying that, he looked at Saphir.

Actually, there was nothing important at the beginning, but now that I have seen this guy...

Tinari's mind became active, and he began to think about whether he could ask Saphir to help completely eliminate the demon residue in Cole's body. After all, Saphir was Cole's savior, and he would not refuse her help.

But Cole obviously didn't think so much. She looked at Seno and Tinari awkwardly, and complained in her heart: "You said you were accompanying me, but you just had to follow me..."

Saphir noticed Tinari's look. She looked at Rimuru and suddenly had an idea. She whispered to Rimuru, "Do you feel it?"

"Are you talking about what's inside that little girl's body?" Rimuru sensed the remnants of the demon in Cole's body the moment he saw her. The feeling was very strange and he couldn't put it into words.

It's a bit similar to the feeling of sealing Ifrit inside Jing's body, but not quite the same.

Ifrit went out of control because Jing's ability to control her decreased due to aging. In essence, Ifrit was still Jing's life-extending thing, while the thing in Cole's body was simply a death warrant. No matter how you look at it, this was not something that should appear in a little girl's body.

"If it wasn't for the energy imbalance that required another energy to balance it, putting that kind of thing in her body would simply be wasting her life." Rimuru was a little stunned, and he looked at Cole with inquiry.

The smile on Saphir's face was a little cold. "That was indeed the purpose at the beginning. Later, the energy disappeared, but the remnants of the demon god left in her body could not be removed. The method of fighting poison with poison left behind troubles. This is the consequence of imperfect technology."

“I still don’t quite understand. If we want to balance the energy, isn’t there something gentler? Why use something so dangerous?” Rimuru naturally had a way to solve it, but he needed to ask clearly before taking action.

Safir shook his head: "There are no elemental elves in this world." Actually, there are some, such as pure water elves, but pure water elves are not suitable for treating magic scale disease, and pure water elves are also a kind of life. The risk of touching that thing is higher than the remnants of the demon. Who knows what might happen.

“I understand.” Rimuru said, then closed his mouth and began to communicate with the Great Sage.

"Great sage, get ready." He ordered in his heart.

The Great Sage quickly responded: "Notice, the conditions for using the Predator have been prepared and can be used at any time."

Rimuru was ready, and Saphir spoke up: "Kore!"

When Cole heard Saphir suddenly calling him, he quickly turned his head to look at him. The next second, Saphir threw Rimuru out: "Go ahead."

Cole only saw a blue sphere flying towards him, and subconsciously ended the attack that Saphir threw at Rimuru.

Rimuru fell into Cole's hands and used Predator immediately.

A golden halo flashed, and Cole was completely wrapped in the light. The seal cast by Seno was like paper and was instantly broken by Rimuru.

Cole was horrified. Seno and Tinari did not expect this to happen. When they were about to stop it, Saphir reached out and stopped them: "Don't get excited, just watch carefully."

They looked at each other. Although they were still worried about Cole, they felt inexplicably relieved. After all, what Safir wanted to do had never gone wrong. Besides, with their strength, they could not break through Safir's obstruction.

But this time, it’s a slime. What’s going on?

They looked at Cole who was wrapped in light with mixed feelings, forced themselves to suppress their nervousness, and began to wait.

Cole only felt a flash before his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in an unfamiliar space. Standing in front of him was a child with blue hair and golden eyes, whose gender could not be determined.

"Eh? This is..." Kelai was a little nervous. This was the first time she encountered such a thing.

Rimuru looked at Cole who was looking around, smiled slightly, and said to comfort him: "Don't be afraid, you are now in my consciousness space, the flow of time here is different from the outside world. I was entrusted by Saphir to help you solve your physical problems."

"Commissioned by Miss Safir?" Cole was in a daze for a moment, then he reacted, "Are you the slime? I didn't expect you to look like this."

"My name is Rimuru Tempest. Don't call me slime anymore. It's very rude." Rimuru said, with golden light flashing in his eyes. "Let's begin, great sage."

"Oh...I'm sorry." Cole apologized immediately.

The Predator can eat the demon residue in Cole's body, but there is a prerequisite, that is, Cole must be eaten into the stomach. This is why Rimuru has to release strong light to block the sight of others.

It is because Cole is currently in his stomach. This scene looks like Cole was eaten by Rimuru. If Senotinari saw it, he would probably fight him to the death.

In the consciousness space, Rimuru used words to calm Cole's emotions, while the Predator began to separate the demon residue in Cole's body.

Fortunately, Cole is a human being with a short life span, so the remnants of the demon that infect him have not been integrated into his flesh and blood.

The peeling process was not painful at all. If it were Xiao, he would probably have to go through some torture.

The performance of the Great Sage is not as high as that of the Divine Core Charles, but fortunately this is the consciousness space, and the speed of time flow is different. No matter how long you spend here, it is only a moment in the outside world.

When the light faded, everyone saw Cole standing there in a daze, holding Rimuru.

"Cole! Are you okay? How do you feel?" Tinari ran forward first and carefully checked Cole's body.

Ke Lai shook his head gently: "It's okay, I feel a lot more relaxed."

"The demon residue in her body has been cleared away. Now, Cole is no different from an ordinary person. We don't have to worry about any problems with her body in the future." Saphir said lightly.

After Tinari confirmed that Cole was fine, he looked at Saphir deeply and said, "Maybe I am not qualified to say this, but I still want to thank you for everything you have done on behalf of Cole..."

"No need to thank me. I've said it before, I like Cole very much, so I'm willing to help her." Saphir raised his hand and ruffled Cole's green hair.

When Saphir touched his head, Cole did not avoid it at all. Instead, he narrowed his purple eyes and looked very enjoyable.

Tinari didn't know what expression to make about this. Saphir and Cole had known each other longer than any of them. Perhaps, she cared about this child the most...

"Saphir's methods change every day. Now we don't have to do it ourselves to eliminate the remnants of the demon? Ying, the gap between you and her seems to be getting bigger and bigger." Little Paimon did not forget to poke his friend's lungs at this time.

When Ying heard this, she immediately pulled little Paimeng over and pinched her cheek fiercely: "I know this kind of thing myself, so you don't need to say it out loud!"

"Woo! Ying! You are angry and embarrassed!" Being pressed in the arms and ravaged, little Paimeng protested loudly.

The fight between the two little ones immediately livened up the atmosphere, and everyone returned to their happy state, watching them play with a smile.

At this moment, Albedo slowly walked over and said, "It seems that I missed a good show."

Seeing Albedo coming over, Rimuru immediately stretched out his short hands and waved: "Hey! Albedo, you are here too?"

"Well, it seems that you are in good condition. Are you used to this world?" Albedo nodded at Rimuru and asked.

Rimuru stayed in Cole's arms, feeling very comfortable: "So far, it's not bad, but I've only been here for one day, and many things are hard to conclude."

"Well, I hope you can adapt to the environment here." Albedo said, and then looked at the others, "Hello everyone."

Albedo's arrival interrupted the playfulness between Ying and Paimon. Paimon took the opportunity to break free, looking delighted: "Wow, Albedo is here too? This is going to be lively!"

Ying smiled and nodded, introduced Albedo to Cole, Seno and Tinari, and then introduced the three to Albedo. At this point, everyone in the group had a preliminary understanding of each other.

Tinari pinched his chin, pondered for a moment and said, "Well, since Miss Sugar's main research field is bioalchemy, may I ask if you know the detoxification mechanism of 'Dudu Lotus'?"

As expected of Tinari, they started by discussing academic issues.

"Wait...wait, are we going to get into a topic I don't understand so soon?" Xiao Pai had a miserable face, feeling a little at a loss as to what to do.

Ying smiled and rubbed the little guy's head: "As long as Paimon is cute, nothing else matters."

"I always feel like you are mocking me..." Little Paimon muttered, then flew to Sapphire and snuggled into her arms.

This was the place that made the little girl feel most at ease. Saphir did not refuse. He stretched out his hand to stop the little girl and changed her position to make her more comfortable.

Sugar began to think: "Dudulin is a specialty of Mondstadt, and I have done some research on it.

If Mr. Tinari is interested, I can show you the written report!"

Looking at the two people communicating, Senuo sighed helplessly: "We agreed to go on a trip, but you are still thinking about improving the herbal formula? Didn't we say that we will use new identities when we go on this trip?"

"What is the new identity?" Little Paimon became interested and asked.

When someone asked, Seno immediately took the opportunity to answer: "I am Seno, an adventurer who is good at exploring the desert. Tinari is the technical advisor of the treasure-stealing team, and Kelai is a wandering musician."

"And I am Seele, the Fatui's apprentice alchemist!" Before Seno could finish, Seele immediately revealed her identity.

Safir couldn't help but laugh: "You, are you still obsessed with this identity?"

"But I am the alchemist of the Fatui!" Xier felt that there was nothing wrong with this identity.
