Original God's Dark Priest

After some setbacks, Nashida and her group finally entered Apep's body successfully.

As soon as he landed, Chen Xi frowned: "Damn... This place is a little more serious than I thought."

More than a little, actually.

In the original plot, although Apep was eroded by forbidden knowledge, because this is a 12+ game after all, many details were not portrayed in detail.

It’s like some dark and cruel content is hidden in the side quests.

The same is true of the environment inside Apep's body.

In the first stage of the game, the environment is just a slightly depressing dark green, like an old house, giving people an uncomfortable feeling.

But in fact, there was black smoke everywhere, and no one knew what it contained underfoot. There was also foul-smelling sewage with twisted corpses floating in it.

Nashida's scalp tingled when she saw this scene.

Nashida doesn't wear shoes, and now she has to stand barefoot in the water. The mere thought of it is chilling.

"Barak..." Chen Xi murmured, and a giant man in armor appeared.

As soon as Barak appeared, he set his sights on Chen Xi: "Although I recognize your identity as the Lord of the Undead, are you too arrogant?"

"You keep saying this every time you come out. Aren't you tired of it?" Chen Xi nodded at Nashida, "Take this girl with you and let's go inside."

Although Barak was unhappy, he still did as he was told.

Because he knew in his heart that Chenxi was not an ordinary person. As an incarnation of Saphir, he could not neglect her. You know, with Saphir's original status, even the leader of all the undead, Moros, the Primordial Fear, had to respect her. Barak did not think he was qualified to boss her around.

Letting Barak carry Nashida, Chenxi brought the three elemental creatures to the deepest part, where there was a conspicuous dark green bead, surrounded by withered branches and bushes. It was obvious that this was the core.

After coming under the dark green bead and confirming that there was no disgusting corpse water on the ground, Barak carefully put Nashida down.

Nashida had been sitting on Barak's shoulder, so she discovered the bead early on.

When she got closer, she confirmed it and nodded: "This should be the 'Heart of the Oasis'. As long as we light it with fire, it can replenish elemental power for Apep.

In this way, the damaged parts of his body will be restored and he will be healthy again.”

Dust Song Pot. Nashida and Chenxi are not here today. Xier has not returned to Xumi City yet. Saphir has also left. Pal is bored and chooses to wander around the pot.

By chance, she ran into Lei Dianzhen who was traveling with Hu Zhaigong, so she took the initiative to step forward and greeted him: "Baer, ​​Hu Zhaigong, what are you planning to do?"

"Oh? It's Pal. You are a rare guest in Huli. I rarely see you here." Zhen raised her eyebrows in surprise when she saw Pal. Since her resurrection, Zhen and Huzai Palace would be in Huli almost every day, so she knew all the people registered in Huli, who came in and who rarely appeared.

Pal chuckled: "I have a rare free day today, so I was a little bored, so I thought of coming here to take a look."

Kitsuzai looked at Pal, who looked like a young girl, and clicked his tongue: "I'm still not used to seeing you like this. I always feel like... something is missing."

"Appearance is just a representation to the outside world. I am still me, and will not change because of changes in appearance." Pal adjusted her clothes. In fact, she was quite satisfied with her current image.

After a few pleasantries, he got down to business: "Aren't you busy arranging classes for your sweet daughter today?"

"I arranged for Nashida to go out on a field trip, so there are no classes today." Pal looked at Zhen again, "But you, you are so leisurely every day, aren't you afraid of problems?"

Zhen shrugged nonchalantly: "Ying has been governing the country for so many years, I trust her very much."

In fact, I was not at all confident, but Ying was not the right material, so I really gave up.

Kitsuneya gave an awkward but polite smile. Pal was naturally aware of the actual situation, but she saw through it but did not say anything. Anyway, both Shin and Kitsuneya were fine now, and there would be no trouble on Inazuma's side, so there was no need to worry at all.

There is no opposition or estrangement among the seven gods, and Inazuma lives in a corner, while Xumi is absolutely neutral, so the contact between them is the most harmonious.

Zhen invited Pal to taste snacks together, and Pal gladly accepted the invitation.

The person helping in the kitchen today is Kamisato Ayaka. After finishing her job, she will make some of her specialties and put them out. I really like her Honglu Yidianxue, so I will ask her to make some for me from time to time.

After Pal and Zhen tasted Linghua's cooking, they were full of praise. She also had a light taste. Unlike Nashida who liked sweets, although Pal knew the importance of sugar, she would not supplement it by eating sugar.

She prefers staple foods, such as pasta, rice, etc.

The Hinasakuramochi just met this condition, so it was loved by Pal.

"Ying also likes Linghua's cooking." He really praised the food he tasted.

Pal chuckled: "She looks so dull, but surprisingly she likes sweets. I have to say, she's quite cute."

"My sister, of course, is very cute." Zhen said, as if he was proud of it.

Pal took a sip of tea to wash away the sweetness on his taste buds, then looked at the scenery outside the window and let out a long sigh: "Come to think of it, Nashida also likes sweets."

"It's normal for children to like it." Hu Zhaigong doesn't like sweets, she prefers fried tofu, and Linghua also prepared some for her.

Pal shook his head in disapproval: "But she is five hundred years old, how can she be young?"

"Yingdu is thousands of years old, isn't he still a child?" The two glanced at Pal disapprovingly, "Are you a little too nervous? Tell me, what did you ask her to do?"

Pal thought about it and then told him about what happened to Nashida this time.

After hearing this, Zhen stopped eating, sat up straight, and after a long while he said quietly, "Speaking of which... where is the Thunder Dragon King?"

"I don't know." Kitsaigong shook her head. She really couldn't remember clearly. "It seems that he was beaten away, or... scared away? There were so many demons and monsters that ran away at that time. Who can remember?"

Zhen touched his chin and nodded. Before the war between demons and gods, Inazuma was not at peace either, so it was normal for a dragon king to run away.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that it was Morax who had foresight. He had tricked Ruota back early, cultivated their feelings, and formed a unified front of the Dragon King and the gods, which directly put him thousands of years ahead of other countries.

Although Egolia is not very good at governing the country, the second generation Fucaros is obviously a ruthless character. No one knows when he tricked the Water Dragon King to Fontaine.

Now Xumi has also begun to consciously contact the Grass Dragon King.

And my own...

I feel so helpless that I hold my forehead with my hands. What Dragon King is there? We don’t have a Dragon King in the Thunder Element, and there has not been one since ancient times!

Although it is very regrettable that the Thunder Dragon King is missing, I still hope that Nashida can convince the Grass Dragon King.

Because she knew very well that the power of the Dragon King was indispensable.

On the other side, Safir and Gabriel came to the outside of the Tanit tribe camp. In front of them, a large group of people were standing ready for battle, led by a mature woman with pink hair.

"Welcome to the Tanit tribe, Lord Executor, and... welcome home, Gabriel." The pink-haired woman bowed slightly towards the two of them, looking flattering.

But neither Saffire nor Gabriel believed that this woman would welcome their arrival from the bottom of her heart. The reason for this was that she realized her own weakness and had to bow down and scrape in order to survive.

Of course, it is also possible that this is not a way of living a miserable life, but... sleeping on straw and tasting gall. If this woman is thinking like this, she will indeed make such a choice.

Saphir did not expose the truth, but walked forward with Gabriel, saying as he walked: "I need to enter the Eternal Oasis, Babel, can you arrange for us to enter?"

"I'm sorry, Lord Saphir, the Eternal Oasis is a forbidden area that has been guarded by the Tanit tribe for a long time. Even we ourselves cannot find a way to enter." The woman called Babel was stunned for a moment, then replied.

Saphir frowned slightly, she turned her head to look at Babel and said, "What I'm asking you is, can you or can't you?"

"..." Barbelle closed her lips tightly. At this moment, she suddenly realized that the seemingly weak little girl in front of her was not as easy to fool as she had thought at first.

This problem has actually pushed her to a dead end.

If you can, then you have to lead the way to that place. This is absolutely not allowed. If you can’t…

She had no doubt what would happen to the Tanit tribe after they lost their value.

Is there any need for something without value to exist?

Ask yourself, no.

"Who is this woman? She looks so arrogant." A sturdy man muttered from behind.

Babel's face changed instantly. Even though she had handled it very carefully, she didn't expect that there was such a blind guy in the tribe. He spoke in such a frivolous tone. Did he really not want to live?

Saphir did not react to this, she was still waiting for Babel's answer.

Finally, Babel sighed and nodded slightly: "Yes."

"Well, let's get ready and leave later." Saphir walked straight to Babel's residence. After walking a few steps, he turned back and added, "By the way, before leaving, don't forget to offer sacrifices to the flag."

Babel's heart sank to the bottom. Since Saphir didn't react to what she said just now, she thought the other party didn't care.

Now it seems... well, there is no need for this outspoken guy to live. He almost harmed the entire camp, so using him as a sacrifice is already a light punishment.

In this way, the first thing that Saffire and Gabriel did when they arrived at the Tanit tribe was completed.

As for Nashida, she took out the fire and began to brew elemental power. Because of the preparations made by Chenxi and Pal, this operation went particularly smoothly. The fire did not shatter like in the original plot, but it successfully purified the heart of the oasis.

It is natural to imagine. After all, the fire was Pal's backup in the beginning. This time with Pal's strengthening and without being abused by Nashida, the fire can be fully supported.

A brilliant green light burst out from the fire, illuminating the entire space.

The rich grass elemental power spread out and surrounded the heart of the oasis.

Apep lay in his nest, feeling the surging elemental power in his body. He sighed and then slowly closed his eyes.

He hated the gods, but it was more than just hatred. He hated Akhmār, yet he identified with him in his heart. As the only remaining first-generation Dragon King in the world, how could he not see what Akhmār was thinking at the time?

But he still did it, and this is fulfillment.

In fact, he had lived enough.

Rejecting Nashida was not only because of position and old grudges, but also a form of self-exile.

He was tired and didn't want to go on. The boundless wisdom gave him the ability to see through everything, but it also brought him endless pain.

"If I hear the truth in the morning, I can die in the evening. I have lived for so long, what is there to be dissatisfied about?"

Apep didn't know that he was the Grass Dragon with the most vigorous vitality and he was almost immortal.

In order to kill the Water Dragon King, Tianli burned him with raging fire for hundreds of years before he died, but he did not use the same method to deal with him.

Not only because he is slightly more obedient than the other dragon kings, but also because even in this way, he cannot be killed.

But when this little girl, the God of Grass, appeared in front of him, Apep couldn't help but think, if... if there really was a chance, should he stand up and try again?

“You claim to be wise, but you are actually a little bit stupid…Buyer… you are indeed not the same person you used to be.

You should have been calmer in the past, or has this century of imprisonment really changed you?

Or, is that prophecy true? Buyer is not that Buyer anymore…"

"The people of Mond are happy, for the bitter wine has been drunk by a poet.

The people of Liyue are happy because all the disasters were borne by the martyrs.

The Inazuma people were safe because the wind and waves were blocked by a long sword.

The people of Xumi are beautiful because the nightmares are all played out in a cage.

The people of Fontaine are innocent because all the sins were borne by an actor.

The Nata are peaceful because wars have been quelled by a spark.

In winter, people are warm, because the ice and snow are melted by a tear."

"I used to scoff at prophecies, but I was also troubled by them. Now, another prophecy is in front of me. How should I choose..."

"Heh... How about... Try it again, once again, to challenge the impossible, once again... Try to break through the sky, break through the earth... and make this world..."

"Change this world into what we want." The girl's voice sounded in his mind, and Apep was stunned.

Then, the light from his eyes became brighter and brighter: "Yes, I remember it, I remember it!

I...was not tricked by Amon, I...took the initiative to accept all of this, just for this moment."

"Taboo knowledge is originally unsolvable, but it is not completely unsolvable. If you want to crack it, you have to resolve it when it is at its weakest..."

"I will teach you how to keep a piece of forbidden knowledge without anyone noticing, and then..."

"The heart of Oasis is not so easy to extinguish. If it is not the impact of the death of the demon god, don't think of extinguishing your heart... Are you serious?"

"Okay, since you've made up your mind, I'm not going to persuade you. Buyer will help you... You mean me? Come on, stupid dragon, you'd better pray that you don't meet me at that time. You might die.

Because I have a bad temper.”
