Original God's Dark Priest

The Moonlight Tavern is also open during the day, but due to time constraints, it is not the peak business period. There are only a few customers in the tavern, and Sosia at the counter is dozing off with her head propped up.

Saphir walked into the door quietly without attracting anyone's attention, nor did he wake up Sosia who was dreaming, but went straight to the second floor.

The second floor is the VIP area, where she and Wendy usually drink. There is also a luxurious box reserved for them.

Apart from a few load-bearing columns and box partitions, all that's left are simple railings, because the middle floor was smashed open, leaving a large hole, which is used for guests on the second floor to watch the performances on the first floor.

There is a stairwell next to the box, but this staircase is basically not used because the third floor is connected to the Yanshang Tea House. After all, the area there is too small and is often full, so Saphir set up a portal there and you can get here by crossing it.

Now, Safir began to consider dismantling the portal of the Yanshang Tea House, reducing the resource share there, and then opening a chess and card room on the third floor here.

It's called a card room, but it's just a place for playing cards like the Cat's Tail Tavern.

The environment naturally needs to be well set up. After all, the first floor of the Moonlight Tavern is actually somewhat similar to an angel's gift. It is a place for drunkards to indulge themselves and is rather dirty and messy.

The second floor is usually used to receive guests of higher status, so the atmosphere is much more elegant and feels more like a cafe.

As for the third floor, Safir plans to learn from the Cat's Tail Tavern and set up a place similar to a cat cafe. Of course, she doesn't have a cat, so she can only use other things instead.

After making the decision, she first contacted Nadia, who was in charge of overall affairs in Liyue, and Sosia, the proprietress of the Moonlight Tavern. After the two hurried over, Saphir began to give instructions: "Pay attention to the two of you. I plan to renovate here."

Nadia was stunned, hesitated for a moment and said: "... Um... Lord Saphir, is it really necessary to renovate the third floor of this Moonlight Tavern? In fact, with the deepening of the relationship between Chenyu Valley and Liyue Port, Feiyun Chamber of Commerce has occupied a large share of the tea business...

There are fewer people coming here to drink tea. To be honest, the third floor has not been open for a while..."

This was a business problem, and Nadia didn't want to tell him about it, but considering that it was not her fault, she told him the truth.

Saphir nodded slightly. In fact, this situation had always been something she expected.

Therefore, Saphir has been transforming Yanshang Tea House since a long time ago. Previously, it specialized in selling Qiaoyingzhuang's new tea and providing a place to drink tea. After that, Yanshang Tea House's main product has always been golden tea.

Over this period of time, this reputation has already been established in Liyue Harbor, so even though the number of customers has decreased, because it is a high-end business, the turnover has not decreased, but has increased instead.

This is just hype, and this is how the luxury goods market works.

Tea itself has some qualities of a luxury product, and Saphir has thoroughly carried forward this point in Golden Tea through the blessing of holy light. Therefore, the Yanshang Tea House is no longer an ordinary tea shop, but more of a place for high-end services.

Safir, who originally wanted to completely rid this place of the lowlifes, has now completed this transformation plan.

A high-end venue means fewer guests, so the third floor of the Moonlight Tavern can indeed be vacated.

"Since the third floor is not in use, let's renovate it." Safire said, and punched the wall in front of him that blocked the stairwell.

The moment her fist landed on the wall, dense cracks appeared on the entire wall, followed by dust falling, and then the entire wall collapsed, and the blockade was lifted.

Nadia's heart skipped a beat when she saw this scene, and she suddenly couldn't help but imagine what would happen if this punch hit her.

Nadia felt that she would not survive this, that she would die, she would definitely die.

Sosia had a similar reaction. Although she had always known that Saphir possessed extremely terrifying physical strength, knowing and seeing were two different things. At least when something like knocking down a wall with one punch happened in front of her eyes, an ordinary person would never remain calm.

Saphir ignored their reactions, clapped his hands, walked straight into the stairwell and headed for the third floor.

Although the third floor has not been open recently, Chu Yi still arranges people to clean it every day, so the third floor of the Moonlight Tavern does not look depressed and dilapidated, but rather a very ordinary private room floor.

Saphir marked several load-bearing walls, turned around and told Nadia who had followed him, "Except for the marked walls, tear down all the others."

"Yes." Nadia didn't ask why. She just took note of it and prepared to arrange someone to do it later.

Saphir continued to walk forward until the last section, where she stopped, thought for a moment, and said, "Leave these four boxes, no need to connect them, we will still need them later."

Nadia then nodded.

The decoration work was assigned to Nadia. Saphir said to Sosia, "Find someone to order a batch of pillows and sofas... um... a counter... and prepare a counter as well."

She checked everywhere on the third floor and left marks: “Put a small cabinet here to store snacks. If you want snacks, you can ask Noelle to prepare some cakes and fried snacks every day.

Then put a sealed cabinet here, made of metal, with two layers, and an insulating layer on the outside. Put the ice slime in the lower layer and change it every two days, and use the upper layer to store drinks."

"I understand." Suo Xiya nodded immediately. This is a very simple refrigerator. She is very familiar with it because the Moonlight Tavern has such a freezer. After all, many wines are better to be chilled.

Saphir casually knocked down a few walls and created a rough outline of a hall. He then said, "Sosia, when you go to order pillows, you can ask if you can get some slime-style pillows in seven colors.

It would be best if we could get a few big ones and put them in the living room, together with the sofas.”

"No problem, Lord Saphir." Sosia responded immediately.

Whether it is the customization of pillows or furniture, it can all be completed through the Fatui's logistics team. Speaking of which, Saphir is the nominal captain of this team.

But later when she became an executive officer, she was no longer responsible for matters related to this aspect. However, due to the subsequent haste in carrying out the mission, the team leader's arrangements were not carried out immediately, but remained as they were.

Anyway, it's just logistics, there will hardly be any major changes in personnel, and no accidents have occurred in such a long time.

Sosia made the contact quickly, and Nadia began surveying the drawings according to Saphir's arrangement.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner, and the construction team arrived soon. They entered directly from the main door of the Moonlight Tavern and went to the third floor of the Moonlight Tavern in front of everyone.

"Why is the Moonlight Tavern suddenly undergoing renovation? What happened?" A customer saw this scene and was curious.

Another person who was drinking with him speculated, "Maybe they want to expand the building? After all, it's not appropriate for the third floor to remain idle."

"I don't think so. Look at those construction teams. They just brought some tools with them. If it's an expansion, it doesn't make sense for them to just go up like that. At least they should bring tables, chairs, benches, etc...." the man said, "Besides, the first floor is the lobby, the second floor is the booths and boxes, so the third floor shouldn't be too shabby, right?"

His companion nodded and said, "That's true, but I always feel it's not that simple. If we really want to expand, shouldn't we make a hole in the ceiling? Otherwise, we won't be able to watch the show."

"You said so...it is indeed true..."

Similar discussions to theirs were happening everywhere. As Liyue's landmark building, the Moonlight Tavern had long been well-known throughout Liyue Harbor, and its reputation had even spread to other countries.

Saphir's sudden large-scale construction will naturally attract attention from all parties.

The drinkers were curious and passers-by wanted to know what she was doing.

Soon, with the posting of a notice, this question was completely resolved.

It was something similar to a promotional poster posted on the Liyue notice board. There was a picture of a wine bottle on it, and a stack of cards next to it. There was also a line of words written on the notice: "The Moonlight Tavern is about to undergo a major change, so stay tuned."

This notice was drawn casually by Safir, and when she showed it to Keqing, she was ridiculed by the other party, who said that Safir's drawing skills were really low. Even though Safir was unhappy about this, there was nothing she could do because she really couldn't draw.

But at least the notice was posted. That was enough.

Having achieved this, Saphir nodded with satisfaction. She did not intend to publicize the linkage with the Seven Summoning Saints, because she had to be present in person to start the trial operation of the linkage.

But she doesn't have time these days and has to wait until she finishes the things at hand.

And customizing furniture and other things also takes time, so she can't be impatient.

While Saphir was busy, the competition had already come to an end, and Ying learned the news about the card thief from Walnut.

According to Hu Tao, she did see a man who was collecting card backs. She also saw him and Chongyun playing cards in the morning, and they made a bet that the loser would have to hand over the card backs.

So, the clue fell on Chongyun, and Chongyun was now at Wuwangpo.

Ying, Xiao Paimeng and Wan Ye did not delay and directly used the teleportation anchor point to go to Wuwangpo.

Although the competition is exciting, investigating the news about the Phantom Thief is the real business, so they can only choose more important things.

At Wuwangpo, Chongyun was standing with a little boy. The little boy was covering his face and crying, looking very pitiful.

Chongyun tried to calm the other person down: "Don't panic, we will find it."

"Chongyun! I found you." Little Paimeng was used to not reading the atmosphere and started to greet people casually.

Hearing little Paimeng's voice, Chongyun immediately turned around: "Paimeng, Ying and Wanye?"

"Long time no see. What happened?" Wan Ye and Chong Yun were not familiar with each other, but they had met before and knew each other.

Chongyun looked back at the little boy behind him and sighed, "This child's friend got lost while playing hide-and-seek."

“Wuuuu… I, I reminded Xiaoyu not to hide too far away, but I looked around the neighborhood and I couldn’t find her…” The little boy named Afang sniffed, tears still hanging on his face, looking very sad.

After hearing this, Little Paimon looked around, a look of worry on his face. "It's so remote out here, it's dangerous if she gets lost! Let's help too! Did you see where she went?"

Ah Fang nodded immediately: "Yes, I took a peek when I was counting, and she went that way." Then he pointed in a direction, where there was a secluded path.

Several people immediately decided to look for it along the way.

Because there were so many people, they became bolder. Little Paimeng was not afraid of the scene on Wuwang Slope at all. Instead, he started to shout loudly: "Xiao Yu! Xiao Yu! Are you there?"

Unlike Paimon who was searching aimlessly, Manye began to observe the surrounding environment, looking for clues.

He checked the broken branches and looked at the bent grass. These were all signs of someone having walked by. It was very likely that Xiao Yu had walked by these places or even hidden here.

But these traces don’t mean anything, there is no trace of Xiaoyu nearby.

Seeing that there was nothing around, Little Paimeng looked deeper into the path and said, "Let's go deeper and have a look."

After all, Wuwangpo is not Liyue Harbor, and the possibility of encountering danger is very high. No one would feel at ease if a child went missing here.

The group hit it off immediately and started to search deeper. After taking a few steps, they encountered an ambush.

It's a treasure-stealing group.

Seeing the treasure-stealing group slowly walking out from the darkness, little Paimeng couldn't help but complain directly: "Why is it the treasure-stealing group again? Mond is also one of them, what is going on?

Xiaoyu won't be in danger, right?"

Ying was also a little annoyed. She was not afraid of encountering monsters in the wild, but she was annoyed when she met the treasure-hunting group. Because the treasure-hunting group was human, she naturally could not kill people at will, so once a fight broke out, she had to be careful about how she attacked.

Such a fight was naturally unpleasant and unsatisfying, but there was no other way, Ying didn't want to become a murderer.

It's exactly the same tactic as in Mondstadt, the technique of cutting the belt with the Tenmokukage sword!

Ying skillfully used the two-stage sword-drawing slash to beat the treasure-stealing group so hard that they fled away in fear.

Looking at the treasure-stealing group going away, little Paimon was puzzled: "Why do I always run into them recently?"

Before Ying and Wan Ye could reply, Chongyun found some clues and called for others to come.

A few people came forward to take a look and found several Seven Sages Summoning cards lying on the ground.

When Ah Fang saw the cards, he recognized them immediately: "These are Xiaoyu's cards! Xiaoyu's father gave her a deck of cards, and she has always cherished it and carries it with her wherever she goes."

"That means Xiaoyu has been here. But there is a fork in the road ahead...which way should we go to look for him?" Little Paimeng analyzed the situation and fell into confusion again.

At this moment, Wan Ye discovered the blind spot. He thought carefully and suddenly said, "Ah Fang, Xiao Yu's father, in addition to the cards, should have also given her a small box, right?"

"Well, the Secret Book Box, I have one too." A Fang nodded. This thing is a symbol of card players. It is used to record one's rank, wins and losses, and to find opponents. People who like to play cards will carry it with them.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chongyun suddenly realized: "Oh! That's right, why didn't I think of it!"

Ying's eyes lit up: "Player search function!"

Seeing that they all reacted, Wan Ye smiled and nodded: "Well, as long as Xiao Yu still has the box with her, we can use it to know her exact location."

With this method, finding Xiaoyu became a very simple task.

Little Paimon couldn't wait to say to Ying: "Quick, quick, take out the secret box and let us see it!"

Ying did not refuse and immediately took out her Secret Book Box and turned on the function of searching for playing cards with other players. Soon, the small screen on the Secret Book Box displayed the positions of the surrounding players.

The two light spots very close to Ying are Chongyun and Afang. There is another light spot a little further away, which must be Xiaoyu.

"Found it! Let's go!" Little Paimon said as he rushed out first, and the others followed, fearing that the little guy would encounter danger again.
