Original God's Dark Priest

Su picked up a small lavender pill from the synthesis table, looked at it carefully, then pursed her lips and shook her head: "Ed, to be honest, I don't recommend you to use this thing."

"I understand your concerns, but I have no other choice." Ed looked disappointed. "You also said that you can't remove the curse, so let me... let me try."

Su opened her mouth but chose to remain silent. She handed the pill to Ed. It was an unknown forbidden drug of the royal court that she had carefully prepared, in which she also added a glass lily from Liyue.

This is a special variety that she has cultivated with great effort. It can carry immortal power. If something really goes wrong, the immortal power contained in the pill can protect Kalibel's heart and save his life.

Taking the pills from Su, Ed breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you for your hard work."

He took the pill and examined it for a long time, but couldn't figure out what it was. "To be honest, I don't really know what this medicine should look like. After all, there is no picture in the banned book."

Ying really wanted to complain and ask what the heck are you looking at, but she held it back.

Because usually at this time Safir would be the first to complain, but Su beside her just stood quietly without saying a word.

Ying felt the difference between Su and Saphir more clearly.

"Well, this moment has finally come..." Ed's mood did not get better, but worse, "Damn it..."

Obviously, something even more unacceptable was waiting for him.

Ying felt that his mood was strange. She looked at Su, but Su seemed to have expected it and looked at Ed who was struggling with an expressionless face.

After a long time, Ed finally made up his mind. He wanted to say something, but after seeing Su's eyes, his eyes dimmed a little, and finally turned to Ying: "This medicine is not yet complete, there is one last step."

"Ed..." Su frowned slightly, as if wanting to dissuade him a little, but Ed smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Let me go all the way to the end, Miss Su." Ed said this, and then continued, "I said that this drug needs the power of the God of Wisdom to awaken the mind...

So... let's go worship the Seven Days Statue."

Ying felt that this was probably what Ed could not accept. As a godless Kanriya, he actually had to worship a god from another country. This was simply an insult.

After standing there for a while, Ed convinced himself and turned around: "Take the medicine with you, let's go."

Ed took Ying away, but Su did not follow. She stayed where she was, looking at the two people going away, and sighed.

The Seven-Day Statue, the image of the Great Kind Tree King, stood there. Ed slowly approached and stopped in front of the statue: "God! Look at me, I will not recite any eulogy silently, nor will I praise anything from the bottom of my heart.

My homeland was destroyed by you, and my colleagues suffered from disasters, but I still stand here today.

The only one who has the right to mock me is fate itself. God! I no longer try to prove that the sin in my blood has nothing to do with me. I only pray that you will have a little mercy on the young and unfortunate.

My son, Kalibel...became a monster before he had a chance to experience any beauty in the world. This really...really should not be the fate of a young life."

After he finished speaking, Ed's excited emotions gradually subsided. Looking at Ed like this, Ying felt mixed emotions. She could understand Ed's compromise for the sake of his children.

He could understand the suffering that Kalibel had gone through, but he was asking for the wrong thing.

He asked the Great Merciful Tree King for help, but the Great Merciful Tree King had never been to Kanreya, and whether the destruction of Kanreya was related to the gods or not, it had nothing to do with her.

Moreover, at this point in time, the Great Compassion Tree King could hardly protect himself, so how could he listen to the prayers of a poor person who could not even be considered a believer?

In the end, he made a wrong decision.

Hadn't Sue told him that?

Looking at Ed's sad eyes, Ying felt a little soft-hearted. Perhaps she understood Su's plan.

The father is already suffering a lot, there is no need to tell him some despairing news. If possible, maybe, we can follow his thoughts and cure Kaliber secretly, right?

Ying believed in her heart that this was the right thing to do, and was willing to believe that this was what Su did.

But at the same time, outside of Kaliber's hut, Sue was speaking: "Your father, Ed, has gone to get medicine for you, Kaliber."

“Father…” A child’s voice was heard from inside the house, soft and innocent. He should have had a bright childhood, but unfortunately, it was ruined by this disaster.

Su took a deep breath and continued, "That medicine...he worked so hard to find it, and he gave up all his dignity to get it. He paid a lot for you."

"But I'm already a monster..." Kalibel's voice was filled with undisguised loss. He didn't want to see his own face, and he didn't want others to see him.

At this moment, he understood very deeply why the Hillichels always wore masks, because only in this way could they avoid seeing their monstrous appearance and deceive themselves in their hearts that they were still "human".

"Don't let your father down, Kalibel. You will live well, right?" Su's voice was filled with a hint of sorrow. She didn't want to do this.

Kalibel was silent. He didn't know how to answer this question. Should a person live his whole life for others? At his age, he couldn't think clearly about such a question.

But it didn't matter, he didn't have to make a choice because there was only one answer.

"Even if it's for your father, please live well and live longer." After saying that, Su lifted the curtain of the hut and walked into the house.

“Don’t come over here!” Kalibel was frightened and his body began to tremble uncontrollably. “Don’t come over here, don’t look at me! I don’t want to be seen like this…”

Out of fear, he started to yell, but after his outward show of strength, he begged like a wounded cub. His tears overflowed from behind the mask, flowed down the mask, and finally fell on the bed sheet, turning into a puddle of water.

Looking at the broken mirror on the ground and the mask placed on the table, Su said nothing. He just walked over, picked up the mask, and covered Kalibel's face with it: "Go to sleep, this is just a dream. When you wake up, it will be over."

"I... am so sleepy..." Kalibel was hypnotized and soon fell into a deep sleep, giving up the strength to resist.

Su looked at the hillilman who was sleeping on the bed, bent down and began to pick up the lenses that had fallen on the ground.

This mirror ultimately could not escape the fate of being shattered. Does this mean that she could not escape the same fate?

Su shook her head. She didn't know, but she had no way out.

After putting away the lenses, she looked at the already asleep Kaliber, opened her red lips and said, "I'm sorry, Ed, I promised you that I would save Kaliber, but I can only heal, purify, and cure the pain...

I can't engrave a curse into the soul yet, but there are other alternatives. This plan may not be satisfactory, so if you want to blame me, blame me. "

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and pressed it on Kaliber's mask: "It is almost impossible to lift the curse, unless it reaches the level of heavenly justice. But now, although it is not impossible for me to break it by force, Kaliber will die.

This makes no sense, so I choose to cover the curse with a curse.

Kalibel, I curse you. In the future, you will forever wander in this world, unable to escape and unable to commit suicide...

I want you to endure this torture with a clear mind, and to watch your body weaken from wear and tear like the Kanreyans, whether it takes a thousand years, ten thousand years, or a hundred thousand years.

Your body will imprison your soul. You will gain eyes that can see through souls and a heart that can sense good and evil, but you will never gain power. Live as an ordinary, ordinary person for your...

cough…

Atonement for your bloodline, descended from Kanreya."

Thunder rumbled in the sky, and the curse took effect. There was no change in Kalibel's body, but Su knew that in three days at most, he would turn back into a child, then grow up gradually, and finally freeze in the posture of a teenager.

His life will become extremely long, so long that even endless time cannot wear away his life.

Kaliber, a miserable child, if Saphir fails, he will witness the most grand end of Teyvat together with millions of innocent people.

Fortunately, this era is not boring. He can see the brilliance of humanity that bursts out at the end of the era. It is a group of people born with the inscription of salvation. He is not alone, and he can survive the five hundred years when he cannot feel the wear and tear.

After that, he still had a whole world to die with him.

After doing all this, Su returned to his original position and began to wait for Ed and Ying to come back.

Ying and Ed looked at the statue in front of them that was emitting a faint glow, and they were thinking different things.

"If everything God did from the beginning was to make the unruly Kanria people bow their heads... then I will... bow my head." Ed thought he had humbled himself to the dust, "I have abandoned everything I have insisted on in this life... I only pray for a little miracle, so that Kaliber... can look at this world again.

Please... God."

The Kanreya people do not believe in God, so people think they have no faith. Faith exists in everyone's heart. The Kanreya people are not without faith, they just sneer at the so-called gods that can be seen and touched.

They believe in science and they think man can conquer nature.

But for the sake of his children, Ed betrayed the beliefs he had held all his life, which can be considered a punishment.

However, his anxiety was something that others could not understand.

Ying looked at Ed in such a state with mixed feelings. She could feel his pain and knew that this kind of hatred could never be wiped out, so she began to wonder if Kanreya and the gods really could not coexist.

While she was thinking, Ed finally calmed down from his agitated emotions. He turned around and looked at Ying: "Sorry to have made a fool of yourself. Let's go."

"It will be fine." Ying didn't know how to comfort the other person, but still said this.

Ed nodded slightly, accepting the comfort.

Back to the cabin, Su was still leaning against the synthesis table. Seeing the two people coming back, he nodded slightly.

Ed was the same. Ying looked into Su's eyes and blinked. She felt a little strange. Su's eyes seemed to lack some spirit, as if...

It was as if she had lost something, she couldn't put her finger on it.

But she didn't think much about it and followed Ed into the cabin.

Kalibel was still lying on the bed, lifeless, as if dead.

Ed took out the pill and carefully fed it to Kaliber, asking him to take it.

After doing all this, he looked at the lying Hilliard very nervously, and then called out a few times tentatively, but there was no response.

Kalibel was still sleeping soundly. Perhaps it was because Ed's voice was a little loud that Kalibel was disturbed. He turned over and continued to sleep soundly.

This made Ed a little confused: "Calibel... please, answer me!"

Just as he was about to continue talking, Su appeared at the door: "Don't shout, it's a good thing he's asleep. Waking him up won't help his recovery."

"But, I want to confirm the effectiveness of the medicine..." Ed explained.

Su shook his head: "We have already done what we should do. Just wait quietly. Your behavior now will not only not help him, but will also affect the effect."

After she said that, Ed indeed calmed down a lot.

Ying looked at Su at the door, and the strange feeling in her heart deepened. She felt that Su seemed like a different person, and looked very cold. This was obviously not the feeling he gave her before.

But this question is destined to be fruitless.

Ed was forcibly pulled away by Su to prevent him from disturbing Kalibel's rest, and Ying also followed him out of the hut.

She had a hunch that Kaliber must have been saved. Su must have done something, and perhaps the action was so radical that she didn't want Ed to know.

Ying did not confirm her guess, but followed the two of them silently.

According to Su, Kaliber will sleep for three days before waking up. Before that, she asks Ed not to act rashly.

Although Ed was reluctant, he nodded and agreed. He had waited for so long, three days, he could afford to wait.

As for Fluorescence...

Su suddenly raised his eyes and said abruptly: "Before Kalibel wakes up, I hope you can accompany me to take a look over there."

She pointed in a direction, which was a cave.

Ying had noticed it before, but had never taken it seriously. When Su suggested that they go and take a look together, Ying naturally had no reason to refuse.

Ed had to stay and keep an eye on Kalibel's condition and couldn't go with them, so this time, Ying went with Su.

The cave was much deeper than they had imagined. The two walked in the cave for a long time, all the way to the innermost part, where it was almost pitch dark, before they discovered a hidden door.

“This place... actually has a secret realm?” Ying was very surprised.

Su looked at the secret place in front of him, pursed his lips and said: "Let's go..."
