Original God's Dark Priest
Chapter 519: Noble Master, Young Talent
The three of them walked around the dock but didn't find anything. However, Saphir saw a large ship slowly entering the port from afar. She knew that Beidou was back.
Little Paimon doesn't have such sharp five senses as her, so she doesn't know about this yet. She is discussing with Ying whether they should go to another place to inquire.
Beidou and Saphir are connected. Before entering Liyue Harbor, she could already sense Saphir's presence at the dock.
So he told Wan Ye early on, "I don't know why Saphir went to the port and stayed there for quite a while. Why don't you go ask him?"
It’s not that Beidou doesn’t want to go by herself, but she has a lot of things to do every time she docks. The Sea Lantern Festival is approaching, and this year’s procurement matters must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
And she also knew that if it was really an urgent matter, Safire would never wait obediently at the port dock. He would probably run to the ship and grab her hair and start giving orders.
"No problem. I'll let you know if there's anything important." Wan Ye agreed readily. Ever since he learned about Beidou and Saphir's past, Wan Ye's view of Saphir has been refreshed.
Now he no longer feels alienated from Safire and can treat him calmly.
As soon as the Death Star docked, Wan Ye jumped off the boat and walked over to Ying and the others: "Three of you, are you looking for someone?"
Hearing his voice, little Paimeng was stunned for a moment, and quickly turned around. It was indeed Wan Ye: "Huh? This voice is... Wan Ye?"
"Long time no see, Ying, Paimon, and Lord Saphir." Wan Ye greeted the three of them.
Ying and Wan Ye had indeed not seen each other for some time, so it was a little surprising to see each other so suddenly. So she greeted him happily: "Long time no see, Wan Ye."
Saphir smiled and nodded at him: "I have nothing to do today, so I followed Yingxia around. You just came back today, right? Where are you going next?"
"The Lantern Festival is coming soon. The big sister plans to go back to Liyue to do some things, and then she will start purchasing matters. However, after all, I am not a Liyue person, and I have no idea about these things, so I am the one with the least time." Wan Ye curled his lips and answered Saphir's question.
Upon hearing this, Safir nodded in understanding. It was the Lantern Festival again. This was the third Lantern Festival she had spent here. She didn't know what Ningguang and the others were going to do this time.
I'm quite looking forward to it.
After a few pleasantries, Wan Ye brought the topic back to the topic: "You seem to be asking about something, I wonder if I can help?"
"This is what happened!" Little Paimon immediately recounted to Wan Ye what had just happened.
After listening to Paimon's story, Wan Ye nodded slightly: "I see." Then he looked at Saphir and chuckled, "The wind in the port is still as warm and pleasant as ever. I think the card thief you are looking for did not pass by here."
Of course, Wan Ye knew that if Saphir really wanted to find the Phantom Thief directly, he would probably mobilize the Fatui's intelligence network instead of following Ying around everywhere. This guy was probably just joining in the fun and was completely idle.
Seeing through Saphir's thoughts, Wan Ye knew that he could not count on him, so he thought for a while before saying, "I don't know whether this news is good or bad for you. By the way... there is a competition being held nearby recently. The Seven Saints Summoning... seems to be very popular recently."
"Huh? Didn't you just come back? You've also heard of the Seven Saints Summons?" Little Paimon was very surprised.
Wan Ye nodded calmly: "Yes, this game is very popular, and I have watched other people's games before, but I am always a silent spectator.
A while ago, the big sister brought a small box on board, which contained many beautifully designed cards, and played several games with the crew members. She was so excited that she even drank a lot more wine. "
At this point, Wan Ye's expression had a subtle unnaturalness. It was actually not appropriate for Beidou to do this, because as the captain, she had to stay sober at all times. If she encountered an emergency and became leaderless due to drinking, then the entire Southern Cross fleet would be buried with her.
Saphir naturally heard the unnaturalness in Wan Ye's words. She chuckled and shook her head slightly.
Beidou likes to play, so let her play. Wanye also has the Dongtian Pass anyway. If there is an emergency and the others can't handle it, he can also ask for help. As for Beidou, his first follower, Saphir still values her very much and will not let anything happen to her.
Little Paimon didn't care and explained, "That's the Secret Book Box. It's a small tool used to store cards and find nearby players."
As she spoke, her interest came back, and she said with anticipation, "How about Wanye try the Seven Summonings too! The rules are quite simple, and you can play with your friends at ordinary times!"
Ying also nodded vigorously: "This is a rare opportunity, Wanye should give it a try!"
"Hmm... Making friends through playing cards?" Wan Ye stroked his chin, thinking about the rationality of this, and nodded after a while, "That's very elegant. I'll ask you to guide me."
Looking at Manye who finally found a way to entertain himself, Saphir reached out and rubbed little Paimon's head: "You haven't played a few games by yourself, right? I remember that it was Ying who played. Can you really do it?"
"Safire, don't look down on me! Although I don't play often myself, I watch Ying play cards every day, so I can be considered a master card player, okay!" The little guy did not break free from Safire's clutches, but spoke with an indignant look on his face and glared at the other party with his eyes.
After that, she turned to Manye and said, "Well...in addition to teaching you the rules, I also need to get you a Secret Book Box."
It seems that little Paimon intends to put this matter first and completely forget about everything else.
Manye spread his hands helplessly: "But the more urgent issue right now should be the problem of the card thief, right?"
His words reminded little Paimon, who immediately lost his temper. Coming to his senses, he said with some disappointment, "Yeah, I almost only thought about my old friends and forgot about my new friends. After all, I promised Charlotte."
She looked at the people around her and started to think: "Let me think about where to go next..."
As she was about to speak, she heard a girl's voice approaching quickly with a coquettish tone: "Teacher Su Jin~~~I knew I would see you here!"
Everyone looked in the direction where the sound came from, but before they could take a closer look, a black shadow jumped into Saphir's arms with a "swish".
Looking at the kitten in his arms, Saphir's mouth twitched: "Are you... a little too cheerful?"
"Eh? Why is there a cat here!" Little Paimon was shocked, and Ying also looked at the cat in Saphir's arms with a wary look.
This cat is naturally Qiliangliang. Every time this guy sees Saphir, he will habitually jump into the other's arms, just like that time with Fontaine and this time as well.
Speaking of which, Kirara and Saphir are actually quite close friends. Their first meeting was actually thanks to Yae Kamiko. After all, in the entire Inazuma, the one who is best at ordering people around, especially the cat, is the only one who is good at ordering people around.
Qi Liangliang was arranged by Xie Fox to be an undercover agent. At the beginning, Saphir didn't think too much about it and just raised Qi Liangliang as an ordinary cat.
As time went by, she really developed feelings for him. During the time she was with Inazuma, when Kirara was free, he would transform into his original form and lie on Saphir's legs to bask in the sun. Strictly speaking, Saphir was half of Kirara's master.
Safir stroked the kitten in her arms. Hmm, it felt as good as always. She then said, "This is Qi Liangliang. You should have seen her."
Qi Liangliang then noticed that there were other people around, so she immediately left Saphir's arms, fell to the ground and turned into a human form.
Seeing Kirara in human form, Paimon was even more shocked: "Isn't this the Inazuma courier who was chatting with Diona in Mond? I actually ran into him here too."
Manye noticed Kirara's waist badge, which was engraved with two cat heads and a string of bells: "This emblem on your waist... could it be Komagaraya?"
"Eh? Does Manye know this company?" Little Paimon became interested. Manye is a native of Inazuma, so he should know more than others.
Man Ye nodded: "I have heard before that Komagariya specializes in courier business in Inazuma."
After they finished talking, Kirara Ryo bowed to them and introduced himself, "Hello, everyone who was at the Cat's Tail Tavern before. I'm Kirara Ryo, and I'm a courier for Inazuma Express, under Komagariya."
"Hello, I'm Paimon, this is the traveler Ying, and Manye." Paimon introduced himself to Kirara.
In fact, this matter should be done by Saphir, after all, she is an acquaintance of both parties, but since Paimon is the Mouth of God, let her introduce it.
After the two sides got to know each other, Manye expressed his doubts: "Komagaya's service has always been widely praised for its punctuality and safety. I didn't expect that you have also opened up international business."
After hearing this, Qiliangliang looked Manye up and down, and after confirming that the other party was Inazuma, she sighed: "Wow, it's really not easy to meet people from my hometown in a foreign country!"
After she finished speaking, she sighed softly: "Our cross-border business has actually only developed recently. Because I often deliver goods to Miss Qianzhi, the boss thought about it and decided to develop cross-border business."
"To some extent, it is also related to the lifting of the isolation order. Inazuma is no longer isolated from the outside world, and some cross-border businesses can be smoothly laid out. Otherwise, with the thunder curtain that makes people shudder, cross-border business is an unrealistic fantasy." Saphir thought of the experience of Qiliangliang who had narrowly escaped death in order to deliver information to him, and felt a little emotional.
Inazuma has also changed completely. It seems necessary to go and see her, and by the way, take a look at the business situation of the Moonlight Tavern branch over there.
Qi Liangliang nodded. She knew the story behind this. After all, she was also a member of the society's bugler and was quite well-informed about the news in this area.
She is actually quite satisfied with her current situation: "Delivering international express is like going on a sponsored trip! But I am not familiar with other cities and often find myself lost."
As she spoke, she became a little depressed, and even her two tails drooped down: "Sometimes, in order to save time, I have to change back to my original form and climb the wall for convenience."
Little Paimon immediately thought of the little kitten just now. It had to be said that it was very cute.
Just as she was about to speak, Qi Liangliang spoke again: "Do you know how to get to Liyue's Hall of Rebirth? I've been wandering around for a long time."
"Hall of Rebirth?" Little Paimon looked at Saphir.
The same is true for Ying.
Even Manye is no exception.
Being stared at by these people at once, Saphir shrank his neck uncomfortably: "Why are you looking at me like that? I'm not an employee of Wangsheng Hall."
"Oh, that's right! Isn't Teacher Su Jin from Liyue? You must know that, right?" Qi Liangliang looked expectant.
Being looked at like this, Saphir naturally would not refuse. Or rather, from the very beginning, she had almost never refused any request made by Qi Liangliang. As a cat at home, she naturally had to pamper it.
Shrugging helplessly, Saphir said, "Okay, I'll take you there."
"I knew that Teacher Su Jin is the best!" Qi Liangliang wanted to rush over, but was stopped by Safir, who pinched her cheek.
There are so many people watching here, and there are people here who know her identity as the Fatui executive. How can she be seen being hugged by someone?
The group walked towards the Hall of Rebirth.
Before reaching the entrance of the Hall of the Dead, the girl's unique voice rang out: "The sun is high in the sky, and the dice in my hands are whirring... um... it's a pity that the end of the sentence doesn't match..."
Walnut was addicted to poetry and playing cards, and under the double influence, he wrote a bad limerick.
Even if Safir heard it, she pretended not to hear it. That girl was not a calm person and she was not good at dealing with such a girl.
Thinking of this, Safir felt a little dazed. Once upon a time, he was actually a bit similar to Walnut, but now, things are not quite the same.
Shaking his head to get rid of the strange thoughts in his mind, Saphir pointed forward: "Here it is."
Her voice was loud and Walnut heard it immediately. When she turned around, Saphir and his group had already arrived in front of her.
Seeing Saphir and his men coming over, Hu Tao grinned and said, "Hey, look who's here? Saphir, Ying, Paimon, why are you here?
And you brought so many friends...guests? Business partners? New partners?"
Walnut said, ran to Safir, nudged her with his elbow, and smiled sinisterly: "What business is this time?"
Safir is her favorite trading partner because she has received several large orders from him, and the money she makes is getting higher and higher.
First, there was a cenotaph for a high-ranking official, then there were funeral arrangements for a large number of people, and finally there was the business of liberating the souls of the heroes in the Abyss.
Especially for the business of praying for the souls of the heroes, the General Affairs Department was really not short of money and allocated a large sum of funds to her. Just that one opening was enough to support her for many years.
So Hu Tao also relaxed. After all, she was no longer short of money and there was no need for her to expand her business to make money to support her family.
I have to say that Saphir really relieved a lot of pressure for Hu Tao. In addition to business, he also helped her support that guest official. Last time Hu Tao was free, she ran to Yanshang Tea House to find Zhongli, and happened to see the bill sent to Yanshang Tea House.
My goodness, that long string of zeros made her shudder. She couldn't help but wonder, if Saphir left Liyue one day and no longer supported Zhongli, would she be able to afford such a huge expense?
The answer is no. Wangshengtang has limited means of making profits and cannot afford to support such a noble master.
So this job really has to be given to young talents like Safire.
