Original God's Dark Priest

"You guys just take a rest, and I'll be responsible for checking the mailboxes." Shatang took the initiative to take on the job.

Little Paimon couldn't help but sigh: "Sugar is so reliable, just like Albedo! We feel more relaxed when you are around."

After hearing what Paimon said, Sand Sugar suddenly became shy. She put her hands behind her back and turned her face away, saying shyly, "Don't be like this. I'm embarrassed."

"But I'm so hungry now. I didn't eat anything when I got up this morning." Little Paimon rubbed her stomach. She was so looking forward to the Wind Flower Festival that she didn't even have breakfast. As soon as she woke up, she dragged Ying and Xier over.

Now that the progress was confirmed, little Paimeng's mind was immediately occupied by hunger, so he confidently began to ask for feeding: "Ying! Isn't it time for you to treat me to a meal?"

Ying looked at the little guy helplessly: "There should be something to eat in the cafeteria now, why don't you go back and eat something?"

"No, I want to go out to eat today!" Little Paimeng learned a new word and used it.

Seeing that Paimon was not willing to give in, Xier rubbed her brows and said, "How about this, let's go to the Deer Hunter Restaurant? It's my treat."

"Good idea! Xier, you are the best!" Little Paimon laughed happily.

Ying sighed softly. This little guy seems to be the one who relies on his mother for milk.

Seeing that the three of them were about to leave, Ke Lai also expressed his plan: "I will accompany Sugar to return the extra materials to the store. You guys go eat something and don't starve."

"Then let's disband first. When everything is ready, we will meet here and summarize the information." Sugar suggested.

Just like that, the few people who had just met dispersed again and went to their respective destinations. In a corner where they couldn't see, a girl dressed in the clothes of the Kingdom of Winter quietly listened to their conversation and secretly watched them leave.

At the Deer Hunter Restaurant, little Paimon ordered a large number of dishes based on the principle of "eat as much as you can when someone treats you", and he was determined to trick Seele into eating so much that there was not even a drop of Mora left.

The way she was ordering food with such enthusiasm made Ying shudder: "Little Paimon, you will have no friends if you keep doing this."

Xi'er, as the host, was very calm and still smiled: "It doesn't matter, just let her order."

Xier is a genius in the Ministry of Education. Although she has not graduated yet, it is just a matter of words for her to apply for research funds. With her ability and interpersonal relationships, she can report any project and Nashida will approve the funds with a wave of her hand, so she does not feel bad about it at all.

After getting Xier's approval, little Paimeng was even happier. After ordering the dishes, he looked at Ying proudly: "Look at Xier, how generous! Why can't you be so generous to me?"

"I invite you to dinner at the Chengehu Hotel every day, but you never seem to be grateful to me!" Ying rolled her eyes at her friend in annoyance.

Hearing this, Little Paimeng almost choked on his own saliva: "Do you want to listen to what you are talking about? What is the Chen Ge Hu Hotel? Besides, why do you have to pay for the meal there?"

"Hahaha, Ying is an adventurer. Mora's income is usually obtained through commissions. Naturally, this kind of hard-earned money should be spent frugally." Xier smoothed things over for Ying.

But little Paimon shook his head, with an unfathomable look on his face: "Xi'er, you don't understand this, right? Ying actually doesn't need Mora at all! You don't know that she has the key to Saphir's small vault!"

"Is there such a thing? I don't even have that kind of thing!" Xier immediately looked at Ying in shock, obviously not expecting that there would be such a thing.

The corners of Ying's mouth twitched twice, and she stared at her friend with an unfriendly look: "Are you saying that every time I buy something for you, I use Safir's money?"

"No, no, I never said that! Hehe, Ying is the best. She always uses her own money." Seeing that Ying was showing signs of being angry, Xiao Paimeng quickly began to coax her.

But Ying didn't buy it. She raised her head proudly and said, "Humph! Little Paimeng, you're going to lose me! How dare you say that I'm a gigolo? I'll remember this grudge!"

"Why are you like Eula?" Little Paimon was a little speechless.

Seeing the two of them bickering again, Xier didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She had realized that when these two guys got together, quarreling and bickering were an indispensable subject every day. However, this was not a bad thing because it would not affect the relationship between them.

In this noisy and noisy manner, the three of them had a hearty breakfast.

"Wow! I'm so full..." After eating and drinking, little Paimon rubbed his bulging belly with a satisfied look on his face.

Ying and Xier also ate very contentedly. Because they were full, the blood was concentrated in the digestive system, which made the three of them a little lazy. At this time, they leaned back in their chairs and quietly appreciated the scenery around them.

Mondstadt was the first country and city Ying experienced during her travels, where she left behind many deep and unforgettable memories.

She still remembered the day when Tevarin attacked Mondstadt. She was fearless and directly controlled the unskilled Wind Wings to fight Tevarin on the wind.

At that time, she was really not afraid of death. A rookie who had not yet fully learned to fly actually tried to defeat the East Wind Dragon, who knew the wind best, in the air.

Now that I think about it, Tevarin didn't try her best at that time, otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to come back safe and sound.

Moreover, her Wings of Wind were damaged that time. If Saphir had not arrived in time, she would have died here at the beginning of her journey.

Then, she saw the battle where Saphir tried his best to stop Tevarin.

Saphir was already very strong at that time, but he gave her the feeling of being someone she could reach and someone she could hope to surpass.

But now, things are different. Ying has become much stronger and has mastered the four elements. Ordinary gods are no longer her opponents. Even if she faces the devil, she is confident that she can fight.

But the gap between her and Safire grew, and it became unimaginable.

The current Saphir made it almost impossible for her to have the heart to challenge him. The afterimage she met two days ago was probably only a small part of Saphir's strength, but it was that afterimage that could force Ying and Xier, who had tried their best, into a desperate situation.

The afterimage is so strong, what about the real body?

This made her feel somewhat fortunate that she and the other party were not enemies, and fortunately she chose to get along with Safir. No, in fact, from the very beginning, Ying had no choice. From the beginning to the end, the person she chose was Safir.

From the first time they met, Safir had chosen her unwaveringly. Although she was unwilling, the feeling of being chosen unwaveringly was quite good.

From time to time, the sound of Mondstadt residents chatting could be heard around. During the Windblume Festival, young couples would take this opportunity to express their love and make appointments for dates.

For example, not far away, Quinn and Beatrice had a small argument over ham.

Somewhere further away, Irene was muttering about shopping, reminding herself to buy milk today.

In the shop next door, Margaret, the owner of the Cat's Tail Tavern, was soliciting customers to drum up business for her tavern.

Just as Ying was letting her mind go and enjoying the unique atmosphere of life in Mondstadt, the green bard walked up to her.

He asked, "Are you looking at the scenery?"

Ying opened her eyes and saw Wendy's smiling face. Little Paimon immediately asked curiously, "Singing? Are you coming to eat too?"

"Xier, let me treat you. If you want to eat, I'll treat you." Ying felt uncomfortable using other people's money to do a favor, so she took the initiative to offer.

When Wendy heard Ying say she wanted to treat everyone, she chuckled and put her hands on her hips: "You want to treat me to a meal? What a pity, I just had a drink with you guys before meeting you. Keep this kindness for now, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Ying, Little Paimon, and Xier all showed contempt at once. Little Paimon curled his lips and said, "He must be drinking with Saphir and Zhongli again. Why didn't I see them?"

"Uh, haha, the old man has already returned to Liyue. As for Saphir... well, I don't know either. Not many people can track her whereabouts." Wendy laughed and changed the subject, "I'm here to give you good news, thank me!"

"What good news?" As expected, little Paimon's attention was immediately attracted.

Wendy chuckled and took out a piece of paper: "You'll know when you take a look."

Ying picked up the note and looked at it, then showed it to Xier and Paimeng.

There was a simple map drawn on the note and a spell-like sentence next to it.

"What is this?" Little Paimeng looked at it for a long time without understanding it, so he asked.

Wendy looked at Ying, then at Xier, and then said, "This is what you need most. The answer to the prophecy." His voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of being heard by others.

This answer really shocked Ying and the other two.

They didn't expect Wendy to send them such a powerful thing. They have been looking for the answer to the prophecy, but they didn't expect that it would be delivered to them now.

After appreciating the shocked expressions of Ying and the others, Wendy was very satisfied. She smiled and nodded, then said, "Go to the location shown on the map, and you will find the lamp you want. But..."

He paused for a moment, and Ying and Paimon's hearts immediately rose to their throats.

After a few seconds, Wendy continued, "If I were you, I wouldn't go and reveal the answer without permission. As you can see, many people are working hard for this answer.

Secrets, like aged wine, are more meaningful when everyone gathers together to open them.”

Wendy's words were very clear. Ying felt that he would say that, and Saphir probably meant the same thing. Sure enough, from the very beginning, these people knew what the so-called prophecy was.

But they didn't give them the answer directly, choosing to let them explore it on their own.

And now, Sugar and Cole are very excited to find the answer to the mystery. It would be too cruel and depressing for them to reveal the answer like this.

That's why Wendy said that getting everyone together doesn't actually have any special meaning, it's just to create the illusion that the answer is the result of everyone's efforts.

This is to take care of people's emotions.

Very Fengshen style.

After making sure Ying had fully understood what she meant, Wendy nodded slightly and said, "That's it for now. You guys go ahead and get busy. You can come and chat with me after you've solved the prophecy."

After saying that, he looked at Xi'er who had been sitting beside him, leaning her head to look at him: "I'm leaving, Xi'er, have fun."

"Let's go, let's go. I'm not having any fun anymore since you've disturbed me like this." Xier held a bamboo stick in her mouth, looking bored.

Wendy didn't make a fuss after being ruthlessly driven away by Xi'er. She chuckled and continued, "If we have time, we can also organize a crash course in love poetry together."

"Are you going to do this again?" Little Paimon obviously knew this. She crossed her arms across her chest, looking disapproving.

Wendy nodded and said as a matter of course: "Yes, but there are no other students this year, so I can only use you to make up the numbers."

After everything was explained, Wendy waved to the three of them and said, "Okay, see you later."

After saying that, he left, leaving behind the three people who were still digesting their meal.

Looking at Wendy's departing back, Little Paimon said with emotion: "Every time I meet Wendy, he looks so relaxed, I'm so envious..."

At this moment, the girl dressed in winter clothes who had been eavesdropping on the conversation between Sucrose and the others in a secret corner walked over slowly and said, "Do you mind chatting with me?"

Seeing the person coming, Little Paimon carefully recalled in his mind and confirmed that he did not know her, so he asked: "Who are you..."

"Hello, just call me Scarlett." The girl dressed in winter clothes looked at Ying, "Like you, I am also a traveler who came to Mondstadt from somewhere else. How about I buy you a drink?"

As she spoke, she turned her gaze towards Xier.

Xi'er met Scarlett's gaze and took out the bamboo stick from her mouth: "Winter People? You invited us to drink? Sorry, we just had a full meal, so forget it."

"You're not denying my good intentions. I can see that you've met a lot of people in your past travels." Scarlett was not surprised to be rejected, but rather affirmed Xier's vigilance.

Xier shook her head gently: "You are wrong, I am not a traveler, she is."

"But you are friends, right? That's enough." Scarlett shrugged, not thinking there was anything wrong with what she said. "Anyway, you look like very experienced adventurers."

When little Paimon heard this, he immediately became proud: "Can you see that? We are very experienced adventurers!"

"I can see that. That's why I'm talking to you." Scarlett was quite good at stroking Paimon's hair, and she immediately praised him to the point of making him feel flattered.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. With her words, even Xier can't be too harsh.

Seeing that their attitude towards her had become much gentler, Scarlett chuckled and continued, "I was just shopping in the shopping street and happened to hear your conversation next to the alchemy shop. You guys are studying a magical prophecy, right?"

"Well, it's indeed a magical prophecy!" Little Paimeng is a simple-minded person. He thinks the other party is a good person and he wants to tell everything to him.

Scarlett was sure that Piper was easy to fool, so she continued to talk to her, "It sounds very Mondstadt-like, doesn't it? So, I would like to ask, if you find the answer, could you tell me?"

"Are you also interested in prophecy?" Ying asked as if she had found a like-minded person.

Xier frowned slightly, she knew that Ying was probably planning to do something bad.

Scarlett seemed to see through Ying's thoughts and did not continue with the topic. Instead, she shook her head and said, "Compared to the prophecy, I am more interested in the country of Mond.

My identity has been revealed by the lady just now, and I will not hide the fact that I was born in the Kingdom of Winter, but my relatives and friends have lived in Mondstadt for a long time. They all said that Mondstadt is a romantic place and recommended me to take a look.

It just so happened that it was the anniversary of that person recently, so I came here specially to see the scenery she had seen. "

"So what do you think of Mond?" Little Paimon felt that he was half a Mond local compared to Scarlett, so he couldn't help but put on the attitude of a host and asked.

Scarlett smiled and nodded: "It really deserves the name of romantic freedom."

"Hehehe, we all think so." Hearing the other party praising Mond, little Paimon also felt proud and laughed.

Seeing that little Paimon had treated her as a guest, Scarlett calmly got straight to the point: "The prophecy..."

"If we can find the answer." Ying was cautious and didn't make any promises.

But this answer was enough for Scarlett, and she nodded very understandingly: "Thank you, you are so friendly. It's nice to meet you."

After saying that, she decided to leave first. After all, it was not appropriate to keep hanging around in front of others: "Then I won't bother you for now. You two can enjoy it slowly. I wish you have a wonderful day."

Scarlett left. Ying, Xier and Paimon did not take any action immediately, but watched her walk away.

As for the people from the Kingdom of Winter, Ying silently took out the new Dongtian Pass that she had just received from A Yuan. She planned to contact Saphir to ask about Scarlett's background.

Scarlett walked away, muttering to herself, "Please find me the flowers that don't exist, and find me the guide who will never get lost.

Find me a loyal person who never lies, find me a legend that never ends..."

After she left the sight of Ying and the others, she stopped, then slowly turned around and looked up.

As far as she could see, Rosalia was standing there with her arms folded, staring at her with a scrutinizing look.

The two just stared at each other, waiting for the other to speak first.
