Original God's Dark Priest

The game of cards started quickly and ended quickly. When Hu Tao saw clearly the deck of cards used by Manye, she had already lost the will to fight.

He was quickly defeated with ease, and Wan Ye was still a little dazed until the moment of victory.

After all, I am a novice and have never heard of what the rarest card in the Seven Summonings is.

Walnut, on the other hand, stared at Saphir, who was looking up at the sky, with a face full of resentment.

You have to do bad things, but you don't want to be scolded. The protagonist Saphir, who has not changed his bad habits, tries to get away with it, but Walnut grabs him and says, "Saphir! I almost forgot, do I have to defeat you to get these three cards? Does winning the fight count?"

Seeing the ill intention in Walnut's eyes, Saphir smiled slightly: "So, you are very brave?"

"Just kidding, I'm super brave!" Walnut said, and moved in front of Saphir. The two looked into each other's eyes, so close that they could feel each other's breath.

Little Paimon was a little panicked when she saw this scene. She pulled Ying's hair and said, "What should we do? They seem to be fighting."

"Hiss! It hurts! Little Paimeng, let go first." Ying had her hair grabbed and hurriedly stopped Little Paimeng's actions. She felt that if she continued to grab him like this, she would become a bald head sooner or later.

Wan Ye was not worried at all: "Master Hu and Lord Saphir are not ignorant of the importance of advancing and retreating. They will not fight here, and..."

He wanted to say that Hu Tao didn't look like someone who was asking for her own death, so she shouldn't be looking for death. Saphir was someone who could fight General Lei Dian head-on. With Hu Tao's strength, she was still far from being able to fight her.

As expected by Wan Ye, Kurumi's expression changed the next second. A sly look flashed in her plum blossom pupils, and then she looked aggrieved. "I don't care. You made me look so embarrassed today. You have to compensate me no matter what. Otherwise, I will cry in front of you."

"?" Saphir was confused by her, "Why are you performing here?"

It looked like Hu Tao was determined to be a rogue to the end, and he was ready to throw a tantrum if he disagreed with something.

Seeing this, Saphir shook his head helplessly, then took his deck from Wan Ye, randomly pulled out three character cards, and handed them to Master Hu with sparkling eyes: "Since you have something to ask for, then I will help you." (Huang Feng Dasheng.jpg)

Taking the role card handed over by Saphir, Hu Tao felt a little dreamy, but the next second, Saphir poured cold water on her: "You can take these three cards to participate in the finals, but if something goes wrong, don't tell me."

She was clear in her mind that these three cards were all banned cards. The Return of the End card was okay as it was not particularly strong. After all, it was just an auxiliary card that focused on releasing control and avoiding control. The strong ones were actually the two Aurora cards, which were absolutely not allowed to be used in the game.

In addition, the ways to obtain them are limited, so the organizers simply banned these three cards together. Anyway, I have never heard of anyone defeating Saphir in Seven Sacred Summons and obtaining any of these cards.

It doesn't matter if it's banned.

Kurumi's expression suddenly fell. She really didn't know how to avoid telling Saphir if something happened.

This is almost like printing the name on the card, and even from a military perspective, there is no possibility of ambushing Saphir and stealing her card.

Therefore, as long as these three cards are brought into the finals, it is equivalent to telling everyone that Saphir helped Walnut cheat. There is no way to wash it off. It is useless to be stubborn, unless you have no shame.

Although Hu Tao's behavior was outrageous, she still had to save face and had to return the character card to Saphir with a straight face.

After collecting the cards that Walnut returned, Saphir asked, "How do you feel about this round?"

"What's the feeling? There's no way to beat it." Walnut was a little depressed. She thought her deck was perfect, but she just couldn't do anything about those three cards.

Saphir shrugged and said, "This is what I want to tell you. If you want to win, momentum plays a role, but it's not a big one. In this kind of game, numbers and mechanisms are everything.

As a player who pursues victory, you can pursue stronger cards, but is the strongest card really the best? "

At this point, Saphir looked at Kurumi's deck that was still on the table: "Obviously, the favorite cards are the most important."

Gulab designed her card to be very strong because it borrowed some of her skills and also had the intention of pleasing her, but in fact, these were not what Saphir needed.

She accepted Gulab's kindness, but by doing so, she undoubtedly lost the opportunity to compete equally with others using her character card.

Fortunately, Gulab knew it clearly and Sandoni also understood the reason, so these cards were banned in the competition. Otherwise, Safir estimated that there would be no peace for a while.

Walnut showed a thoughtful expression. What Saphir wanted to say was actually very simple. She just wanted to tell Walnut whether winning or losing or the fun of the game was more important.

Walnut felt a surge of emotion in her heart, and she seemed to understand something.

Seeing Kurumi lost in thought, Saphir turned his attention to Manye: "What about you? What did you see from this game?"

"To be honest, the things that Teacher Paimon taught me were very useful, but there were also some things that were not put to use." Wan Ye thought for a moment and said very pertinently, "I think it's not Teacher Paimon's fault, but the cards.

The card skills are diverse and the situation changes rapidly. After experiencing it myself, I can understand why it is so popular in Teyvat."

That was all he had to say, and he didn't say the rest.

In Wan Ye's opinion, a character whose strength far exceeds that of existing cards is undoubtedly a major failure, which will greatly affect the game experience. However, he was not in a position to say this in front of Saphir.

And Wan Ye felt that Saphir had probably noticed this a long time ago, so she didn't seem to be that enthusiastic about the Seven Saints Summoning.

Saphir showed a satisfied smile, patted Manye on the shoulder and said, "Okay, to make it up to you, go to the Moonlight Tavern to find Sosia, and I will ask him to prepare a deck for you."

"Thank you for your help." Wan Ye did not refuse and accepted Safir's kindness.

As soon as the conversation between the few people ended, a girl with twin ponytails in purple came over and said, "It seems that there is another card player in the world."

Hearing this familiar voice, little Paimeng immediately turned around and saw the purple color. A smile immediately appeared on her face: "Keqing! When did you come?"

"Soon after the two of you started your game, I saw everyone was so into it, and I didn't want to interrupt." Keqing lied with her eyes open. It was obvious that she had been watching from the sidelines for a long time before coming out, and she insisted that she was waiting for the game to end.

Saphir tilted his head and looked at the big purple cat, and said, "You are not the kind of person who would come up to chat for no reason. You must have something serious to do this time, right?"

"It's like this." Keqing stroked her smooth purple twin ponytails and said seriously, "I guess you are aware of how popular the game Seven Summonings is, right?"

Safir nodded. This matter was promoted by the Adventurer's Association and also involved the handiwork of Sandoni, so it was normal for it to become so popular.

Seeing that she agreed, Keqing continued, "The popularity of this game is actually due to its convenience to a certain extent. All you need to do is carry a deck of cards and find a companion, and the two of you can start right away. This is probably one of the factors that made this game so popular."

Keqing paused, then added: "But this leads to another problem."

As she spoke, she pointed to a place not far away. Saphir looked in that direction and frowned slightly.

She saw what Keqing wanted her to see. There were two people dressed as sailors, sitting on the side of the road, playing a game of Seven Summonings as if no one was around.

"If we deploy this kind of force... and there are too many people involved, it will easily cause traffic jams, which will be a safety hazard on busy streets." Safire immediately thought of this and this situation must be stopped.

Keqing nodded slightly, feeling relieved. She knew that no matter what she wanted to do, if Saphir wanted to do it, she could do it. This was her belief. This time would probably be no exception.

Little Paimeng also knew this. She glanced at Ying, who was a little embarrassed because she often played cards with others like this. It could only be said that she was used to it.

Looking at it now, it did cause some hidden dangers, and she felt that she should pay more attention to it in the future.

Seeing that they were aware of the problem, Keqing added, "Even if we don't talk about the potential safety hazard, just like this, playing cards without paying attention to others is also a big problem for the city.

The Lantern Festival is coming, and I don’t want the streets to be filled with people sitting on the ground playing cards.”

Saphir nodded in agreement. She also thought that it should be so. Then she saw Keqing's expectant eyes.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Safir was a little panicked. She didn't like the feeling of being stared at and felt uncomfortable.

Keqing coughed lightly and thought for a moment before saying, "In order to solve this problem, I have actually thought about having the General Affairs Department take over a piece of land and build a place specifically for people to play cards."

"This is a good idea, I support it. But since you said it here, you must have encountered some difficulties, right?" Saphir knew Keqing very well. This big purple cat had a very tsundere temperament. When she wanted to ask for help, she usually wouldn't speak directly, but would beat around the bush for a while before getting straight to the point.

So when Keqing brought up this matter, Saphir already understood what Keqing was thinking.

Sure enough, Keqing nodded, then looked frustrated: "To be honest, my initial plan was to find a shop near Chihuyan. It's close to the pier, with a large flow of people, and can attract relevant customers..."

"But as far as I know, because of the cooperation between Wanmin Hall and Moonlight Tavern, the houses and land in the Chihuyan area have been sold out. How do you plan to buy a store?" Saphir often stayed in Chihuyan, and she had noticed this situation a long time ago.

Keqing sighed slightly: "So, I started to consider the possibility of people from Feiyunpo. However, Feiyunpo is not a possibility either."

Saphir nodded in understanding. Liyue Harbor was thriving. Ever since the death of Geo King and Ningguang took control of Liyue, she had launched a series of policies to expand cooperation. Now, Feiyunpo, as a key area, had already been occupied by various partners, leaving no room for others to squeeze in.

And considering the popularity of the Seven Saints Summoning, it would not do if the land area at Feiyunpo was not sufficient.

Therefore, Feiyunpo was also excluded. As for the last Yujingtai… Oh, how can a chess and card room be opened in an office? This is too outrageous, definitely not allowed.

So this is the dilemma Keqing faces. She can't make the land appear, so she finds Saphir.

In fact, she had no intention of asking Saphir for help at first. After all, Liyue was an era ruled by humans, and troublesome immortals went against this concept.

But Saphir is different. Keqing has never regarded her as an immortal, so she has no psychological burden in seeking her help.

Finally, they just happened to meet. If she hadn't seen him, Keqing might not have taken the initiative to look for him, but since she had met him, she would just ask him casually. As the saying goes, fate is indescribable. This is it.

Safir touched his chin and hummed for a long time.

In fact, she was a little surprised, because it was such a coincidence. She had just reached a cooperation with Margaret to introduce the Seven Summonings project into the Moonlight Tavern, and now Keqing from Liyue official came to discuss this matter with her.

She didn't even have to make a special trip to Yujingtai.

Seeing Saphir's eyes rolling around, his lips pouting from time to time, and his serious consideration, Keqing's heartbeat quickened.

Because she didn't know what method Safir would use to handle this matter, considering her background and style of the Fatui, she might find an opportunity to close down the Chihuyan store at night and then buy it directly.

Saphir...is capable of doing such a thing.

Just when Keqing was feeling uneasy, Saphir gently hammered his left palm with his right hand and nodded vigorously: "How about this, I will empty the third floor of the Moonlight Tavern, and then build a hall and seven or eight private rooms to operate the Moonlight Tavern. What do you think?"

"Really?" Keqing's eyes lit up. She had never considered the approach taken by Saphir. After all, the Rock Tea House and the Moonlight Tavern were doing good business. If Saphir did this, it would actually be a loss for him.

Saphir didn't care. "It only needs a little renovation. It won't affect my business. Then I can completely transform the Moonlight Tavern. I can let those drinkers learn how to play cards and let my card friends try drinking. This is a win-win situation for me. I win twice."

At this point, Keqing got the hint. Saphir must have been planning this for a long time, but she still asked tentatively, "Can you get the management rights? I heard that the management rights have been bought out."

"It's easy. I know who bought it out. Just come over." Safire spread his hands, looking harmless.

It's a pity that in Keqing's eyes, she looked like a model of a beast in human form. This seemingly gentle girl did such dirty things behind the scenes that the death row prisoners in the prison would be ashamed of themselves.

But this is where Keqing misunderstood Saphir. She did get the authorization through honest negotiations. Although if she went to find Sandoni, she could get the authorization after rubbing that guy on the bed.

嗏

The puppet master also has to save face, and Saphir would not do such a domineering thing.

Seeing that Saphir looked confident, Keqing stopped talking and looked at the others: "The competition is about to start, why don't we go directly to the venue?"

Ying and Manye had no objection, but Saphir shook his head slightly: "You guys go ahead, I'll go to the Moonlight Tavern to make some arrangements and finalize this project as soon as possible. Ying also wants me to accompany her to Inazuma, so I can't break the promise."

Ying immediately puffed out her chest with great satisfaction, causing Saphir to roll his eyes. Although Ying's figure was a little immature, it was much better than Saphir's ultimate flat plate.

Some people, who have certain resources, always show off inadvertently, causing a lot of hatred.

For example, now, Walnut and Saphir's eyes began to look strange when they looked at the little yellow-haired boy.

Keqing was a smart person. She ran away without even knowing why.

The same thing happened to Manye, leaving Ying alone to face the wrath of the No. 1 Fire A in Teyvat and the No. 1 Healer A in Fatui. Of course, this needs no further explanation.
