Original God's Dark Priest

By the Fruit Wine Lake, a few people discussed tomorrow's schedule and were about to disband. At this moment, Amber and Eula came running over quickly.

"Found it! Found it! It's here!" Amber looked very happy. Compared to Amber, Eula behind her seemed a little colder.

When she got to the group, Amber put her hands on her hips and boasted, "I told you there shouldn't be a bonfire here!"

"Amber has such a good eye." Almost everyone in Mondstadt is impressed by Amber's reconnaissance ability.

Even Albedo nodded and praised: "As expected of a scout knight."

"Emmm...Speaking of which, Amber, you are not here to arrest us, are you? For example, for violating some fire safety regulations or something?" Ying had her pilot's license revoked once because of the illegal use of the Wings of Wind in Mondstadt, so she was very sensitive about this.

Amber quickly shook her head: "That's not the case. Although the reporting process is missing, with two, no, three alchemists here, I will turn a blind eye." Amber saw Xier halfway through her words and immediately changed her mind.

Xier's mouth twitched slightly: "There's no need to change your words." But she still introduced to Seno and Tinari, "This red girl is called Amber, and she is a scout knight of the Knights of Favonius.

The one next to her is called Eula, the leader of the guerrilla team, and she and Amber have a very good relationship. "

"Don't say anything extra!" Eula stopped talking quickly, fearing that Xier would say something shocking again. She knew that Xier had learned a lot from Saphir, and these two people were so outrageous that they could not be judged by common sense.

Interrupting Xier's introduction, Youla waved to the guests from Xumi and said, "Good evening. You are all acquaintances of Kelai and Xier, right? It's nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you. Amber and Eula, I heard Cole mention you two." Tinari is actually very good at communicating with people. He can always get along well with others, so he will not be embarrassed about such a meeting.

Hearing this, Amber's eyes lit up: "Really? Did she praise us?"

"Didn't you ask me this last time? Of course I praised her..." Cole spread her hands. She seemed to have answered this question several times. It seemed that Amber could ask it every time.

Seno recalled for a moment and said with certainty: "Basically, as long as there is correspondence, I can hear about you."

"Haha, thank you so much! Oh, yes, we are here to pick up Cole, so we won't delay you all from continuing your chat." Amber then remembered the important matter, "Come on, Cole, I'll take you to some beautiful places."

"Oh, okay!" Cole immediately followed Amber and Eula away happily.

Watching the three people leaving, Senuo shook his head helplessly: "She is still so impetuous."

This sentence actually contained quite a lot of information. Ying asked curiously, "Has Seno met Amber before?"

"I've met her before. She is a very important friend of Cole, and we are all very grateful to her, um..." Seno paused and didn't continue.

Tinari understood what his pause meant, and continued with a chuckle, "Kole has experienced a lot of hardships, but fortunately, there are always people who lend a helping hand to her when she needs it most."

Ying tilted her head, not fully understanding the meaning of this. After thinking about it, she thought that this probably referred to the people from Mond and Xumi who helped Cole, as well as Nashida's silent protection.

As for how Cole arrived in Mondstadt, Senor and Tinari knew it very well and did not explain.

Listening to their words, Sugar fell into deep thought and made a silent decision in her heart.

At this point, the gathering came to an end. Albedo said, "It's getting late today, and we have many plans tomorrow. Everyone should go back and have a good rest."

Ying hugged Rimuru and nodded: "Save your strength."

"Well, I'll help clean up." Of course, someone needs to clean up the things here. Tinari didn't think that he could do nothing just because he was a guest, so he suggested.

No one else had any objections, so they worked together to clean up the camping site, said goodbye to each other, and left.

In the hot spring of the Chen Ge Pot, little Paimon was placed by Saphir in the small wooden basin originally used by Jiang Li, and was being gently cleansed by him.

At this time, Shen He, holding Jiang Li, also came over and slowly stepped into the pool.

"The closing time today is a bit late. Shouldn't it have closed earlier?" Saphir asked when he saw Shen He coming just now.

Shen He put Jiang Li on his lap, picked up a towel and washed her body, then said, "The old man of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce is celebrating his birthday and hosting a banquet at the Moonlight Tavern, so he's been busy until now. I'm here to help."

"I see." Saphir understood. If it was a matter of the Moonlight Tavern, then it would be normal. "But I didn't expect that the old man would choose the Moonlight Tavern instead of the New Moon Pavilion or the Glass Pavilion as the venue."

Shen He shook her head. She really didn't understand all these twists and turns.

However, her not understanding does not mean that Jiangli in her arms does not understand. Jiangli, who is already three years old, now not only has mature thinking ability, but also speaks much more fluently and can already communicate with others.

Such a child is incredible in Liyue and even in other countries, so she usually doesn't show it in front of others. She will only speak normally when she is surrounded by the most familiar people.

"Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, backed by the Seven Stars, is an orthodox merchant group. Naturally, they followed national conditions and chose the Moonlight Tavern. It is not ruled out that it was instructed by the Seven Stars, or Ningguang." Jiang Li's speech was still a little hesitant, and he couldn't pronounce some words clearly, so he spoke with difficulty.

But she is only three years old, and it is amazing that she can do this.

Saphir looked at her with a smile in his eyes: "So what do you think this is for?"

"Ningguang, it's your attitude. Or, is it a favor?" Jiang Li could guess the reasons for these things, but she couldn't figure out the logic behind them. After all, she didn't come into contact with too many things in her daily life, and it was still difficult to grasp the truth by inference alone.

Saphir smiled, and reached out to touch Jiang Li's already thick hair, and then said: "It is said that businessmen can lose courage but not money, but this sentence does not completely apply to Ningguang, because she can do some things that seem to have no benefit.

But every time, she was able to get some unexpected gains. This time was no exception. It seemed that she was attracting customers for me and giving me the benefits, including the plan of Fontaine and the care of the Yanshang Tea House on weekdays.

It seems like I’m the beneficiary, and maybe I actually did get some Mora, but other than that my gains were limited, almost nothing, and Ningguang…

In this way, she can send out a signal that she is doing her best in the cooperation between Liyue and Zhidong, and she may even be suspected of betraying her.

With the Emperor's support, she can easily hold on to her current position. By trying to please me with Mora, she has tied me to her ship. In this way, other forces will believe that the Fatui and Liyue have an absolutely unbreakable alliance.

Although this is indeed the case with our relationship, not many people understand this. After all, it cannot be discussed openly.

In this way, Ningguang proves this relationship from another perspective. She is just taking advantage of the power of the other country. The two most powerful countries among the seven countries have united in this way. This is a signal to the other countries that exchanges will inevitably become more frequent in the future.

Frequent communication will bring more opportunities. When it comes to opportunities and chances, Ningguang, who owns the largest intelligence agency in Liyue, can undoubtedly earn more benefits from it. These are things that cannot be seen on the surface.

The weak take advantage of the situation, the strong create momentum, she is trying to push a momentum, and then put herself on the cusp, waiting to take off from the spot. "

"What a sinister woman! Aren't we being completely used?" Shen He blinked, seeming to have realized something.

Shen He's emotions were not strong, but Saphir understood that she was not calm, so she immediately comforted her: "It's not us, it's me. This is the price of taking Mora from her. It was destined to be like this from the beginning. After all, there are not many people in the world who can come up with such a sum of money.

Even Diluk has a hard time. I can only say that Ningguang's intelligence agency is really powerful. Her plan has already appeared since I decided to hatch Orobas.

Then, he keenly noticed my financial difficulties, and decisively reached out to help me, and also started to lay the groundwork..."

"Why don't you continue? Even I would be very happy to hear such praise from you, adult." A mature and slightly charming voice came from behind Saphir. Shen He looked at the white-haired woman with an expressionless face and smiled as she stepped into the hot spring.

Jiang Li was startled and quickly shrank into Shen He's arms to avoid Ningguang's sight.

Ningguang had a faint smile on her face: "I've already told you, you still don't dare to admit it?"

Saphir glanced at her and changed the subject: "Why are you still awake so late today? Besides, don't you usually bathe in the Qun Yu Pavilion?"

"I'll come here to take a look when I feel like it. It's said that immortal powers can prolong life. I'm not young anymore, and if I don't think of a way, I'll really get old." As she spoke, Ningguang poured a bottle of milk into the hot spring.

Saphir gave her a look of disdain: "Are you sure you want to use this thing to take a shower? Aren't you afraid of attracting bugs?"

"The Qun Yu Pavilion is located at a high altitude, and mosquitoes, insects, rats and ants cannot get up here." Ningguang scooped up a handful of water and began to wash her long hair carefully.

Looking at Ningguang's casual movements, Safire felt extremely speechless. Ningguang's actions had a kind of beauty that disregarded the lives of others.

After thinking about it, she couldn't help but remind him, "Let's not talk about whether the milk bath really has a whitening effect... You only poured a little milk into such a large pool of water. Even if the milk is really effective, it will be diluted completely, right?"

“Of course I know that.” Ningguang’s expression remained unchanged as she continued to wash her hair. She also took some perfume and applied it on her hair. “I just want to comfort myself.”

After hearing this, not only Safeil, but even Shen He understood.

Many things are done not for any effect, but to give ourselves a psychological hint that we have done it and to seek psychological comfort, nothing more.

This is the same as fortune-telling. Everyone knows that fortune-telling is feudal superstition, so why do so many people still like to do it? Isn't it for the emotional value?

This reminds me of a joke, saying that it is useless to persuade a young couple to break up by saying bad things about each other, saying that the two of them are not compatible, and that love-brained people are hopeless. However, there are also cases where people have been cured with just one sentence: He is unlucky for you. Love-brained people were cured on the spot.

Sometimes we have to say that emotional value and psychological comfort are indeed things that involve all aspects of life, and even Ningguang is no exception.

However, after what happened today, Safir began to consider the purification of the hot spring water in the pot.

Although there has always been purification in the past, if everyone pours something into it like Ningguang did, wouldn't it become a mess?

This won't do. She wants to take a hot spring bath. This place can't be ruined by these bastards.

But Ningguang now has no idea that in Saphir's mind, she has been labeled as a slut.

Thinking of this, Safir decided to make a sign and put it up next to the hot spring, which would read "It is forbidden to bring items not related to bathing into the hot spring."

The scope is a bit broad and it is difficult to define. For example, Klee likes to take a bath with her toys, Yae Kamiko likes to bring a dish of fried tofu, and Kitsuneya and Beidou prefer wine. These are things that are not related to bathing.

Besides Ningguang, there are other people who will bring milk, such as Yunjin and Funina.

The reason they brought milk was actually because of Barbara. As they were all good at singing, it was natural for them to get together. In order to get closer, Barbara gave them her favorite spicy drink.

Yunjin and Funingna turned red instantly after taking a sip. It was only after Xiangling noticed this that she found some milk to help them relieve the spiciness that they felt better.

Since then, Yunjin and Funingna seemed to have fallen in love with the taste of milk, and would take a bottle with them and drink it slowly when taking a bath.

Of course, Safire reasonably suspected that this might be because neither of them wanted to admit defeat, and every time they were together with Barbara, they would challenge the spicy drink.

Then they sweat from the spiciness and then take a shower. This is the main reason why they bring milk.

Shaking his head to dispel the idea, Saphir thought it would be better to just remind Ningguang. The others should be relatively sane and would not do such a thing.

"Don't pour milk in it anymore. The hot spring belongs to everyone." Safir said.

Ningguang nodded: "Well, it won't fall down after that."

She was almost 100% obedient to Safire's proposal.

Seeing Ningguang so calm, Saphir didn't say much and turned to the main business: "Speaking of which, how did you deal with the matter I told you last time?"

"Are you talking about the military exercise?" Ningguang naturally remembered it, but still confirmed it.

Saphir nodded. This was the only thing that concerned her now. "Yes, I have been in Mondstadt recently and have not asked about this, so I wanted to ask about the progress."

"It has been passed at the General Affairs Department meeting and is now under Kaiyang's charge. Now it is time to send envoys to various countries." Ningguang estimated and replied.

Saphir couldn't help but frown after hearing this: "So slow?"

"My Lord Guizhong, the envoys have been sent out, but the journey takes time. Teyvat is very large, but the vehicles are slow, and not everyone has the Dongtian Pass to use." Ningguang held her forehead with her hand. This principle was very simple, but she didn't know why Safir didn't understand it.

But Safir frowned and thought for a moment, then blinked: "Not everyone has the Cave Heaven Pass, but except for Nata, can't the other countries contact each other through the Cave Heaven Pass?"

Ning Guang:......

Shen He:......

Will leave: ...

Safir:…

Silence, endless silence.

After a few seconds, watching Ningguang's cheeks gradually turn red, Saphir made a final move and said, "It's dark under the lamp, right?"
