Original God's Dark Priest
Chapter 529 Tea Art Competition and Negotiation
"Since the Son of God has handled it this way, we don't have to worry too much, right?" Saphir was very relieved and comforted Ying.
Ying looked at the girl in front of him and hesitated: "But... I still worry."
Her worries were not unfounded. After all, even when he was Scaramucci, the boy's destructive power could not be underestimated, and now, his level of danger was only increasing.
Saphir waved his hand: "You worry too much. He inherited not only the fighting ability of the Night Emperor, but also his mentality has changed. In fact, all the abilities related to me originated from the 'Blade of Trial', and the blade itself is walking in the world as a hero.
He will understand justice, perhaps differently than you think, but he will not be the cause of cholera."
Just like God's curse of love for the world, this iron law is also engraved in Safire's bones.
"I hope so." Ying stopped talking when she saw Saphir was so confident. This guy always had some mysterious means. Maybe her fighting ability was not the best among the gods, but some of her means outside of fighting were something that gods like them could not figure out.
After a few brief greetings, Saphir and Ying entered the castle tower. Yae Kamiko did not go because the competition was about to begin and she had to rush to the venue, so it was impossible for her to go to the castle tower.
Entering the castle tower, the interior decoration and furnishings are still the same as before, solemn and dignified while revealing a hint of majesty. It seems that people are quite satisfied with this environment.
Safir walked leisurely and soon turned a corner and came to the hall.
There were several tables in the hall with some books scattered on them. Seeing this messy scene, Saphir did not comment, but Ying's face turned slightly red. Those books were light novels that she had put there and she forgot to put them away.
Fortunately, Saphir didn't seem to explore the thoughts of those books and just skipped over them. This made Ying feel slightly relieved, as it saved her face as the God of Thunder.
But in fact, she had no face in front of Saphir. She had long been an image of a hopeless otaku.
Behind the hall is a staircase leading to the second floor. Zhen and Husaigong are currently on the second floor. They are also the main purpose of Saphir's trip.
If you want to start the Seven Summonings business at the Moonlight Tavern branch, you must get the approval of the local gods. If the other party wants to get a piece of the pie, then you have to have a good discussion.
In Mondstadt, Margaret handled all of this on her own. Of course, that was also because Barbatos did not care about the matter. As for the Knights of Favonius, it was Kaeya who negotiated with them, which allowed her to easily obtain the management rights of the Mondstadt area.
If it were Liyue, things wouldn't be so simple. As long as it was a commercial activity, Ningguang couldn't be avoided. And Ningguang was used to taking advantage of every opportunity to gain profits. Only Saphir could do as he pleased because of his status. If it were anyone else, the management rights would not be in their hands.
Therefore, in Inazuma, she faced such a problem. It is worth discussing whether to forcefully seize the management rights or to make concessions and get official support from Inazuma.
As for concessions, how to make them, whether through official investment or subsequent taxation, remains to be studied. This is why Safire came.
When they came upstairs, Saphir and Ying immediately saw Kitsunayamiya and Kazuma sitting opposite them.
The two were playing cards.
Sure enough, even these two could not escape the temptation of the Seven Saints' Summoning, and they had already been addicted to it.
Unlike Ying, Shin and Kitsaigong are both masters of playing cards, and they are adept at all kinds of tricks and styles, which makes Saphir wonder if the two of them participate in the competition, then there will be no chance for anyone else in the finals.
The two were fighting fiercely, and Saphir did not disturb them. He found a place to sit down and waited for the two to finish fighting.
After waiting for a while, Kitsaigong threw the cards on the table dejectedly and sighed: "I don't want to play anymore. I can't beat you."
"Haha, it's just luck. I just happened to place a Protector's Oath and happened to run into your summoning style." Zhen chuckled with his hands covering his mouth, looking very humble.
Hu Zhaigong glanced at Zhen unhappily, then looked at Saphir, and then raised the corner of his mouth: "What did I just say? Isn't she here?"
"Well, I have to admit that I'm not as good as you in predicting Teacher Su Jin's behavior." Zhen nodded, admitting his shortcomings very frankly.
Saphir immediately became unhappy when he heard this: "Are you two just betting with me for fun?"
"How could that be? I just thought that since you've been silent for so long, it's time for you to come over here and take a look." Shin stood up, stretched his waist, and said, "Before, the little guy from the Kamisato family asked why the Test of Courage Conference had not been held even though the date had passed. At first, it was delayed because Ying had not returned.
Later, Ying came back, and it was the day of the Seven Saints Summoning Competition, so it was postponed again and again. Just in time for you to come, I think you should stay in Inazuma for the time being and participate in this festival, what do you think?"
Saphir was actually very tempted by Zhen's proposal, but the Seven Saints Summoning Competition had not yet ended, and she still had to go to Xumi, so it was naturally impossible for her to stay here forever. So she said, "Give me a date, I'll come after I finish the things at hand."
"It sounds like Teacher Su Jin, you still have a lot of things to do. But my country, Inazuma, is a remote and small country and is not worthy of Teacher Su Jin's attention." As he said this, he revealed a lost expression at the right moment.
Saphir was stunned, staring at Mana's face, which was 90% similar to Ying but now looked pitiful, and took a breath.
"Sister..." Ying held his forehead helplessly. His sister was good in every way except that she would sometimes deliberately say things that misled other people's emotions, making it difficult for people to deal with her.
Even Ying, who had lived for thousands of years, had rarely seen this kind of behavior, and she felt that Saphir was probably not good at dealing with it.
Unexpectedly, Safir immediately put on a gloomy look and said, "If you say that, sister, aren't you putting me on the spot? I have some things that I dare not delay, but now it seems that I am to blame. I might as well not come. If I get involved in this kind of thing, I will be in trouble and suffer from this wretch for no reason."
Fox Palace:?
film:…
The two of them had the same thought: Are you speaking some niche language? Why can we understand each word individually, but not when they are put together? Have we been out of touch with the times for too long?
The real soul had been wandering in the human world for a long time, so it was not surprising that it could learn this kind of tea talk. And Saphir... haha... although he was not a green tea person, he still knew some tea talk.
At this time, when the two of them were confronting each other, Saphir could only sneer in his heart, "You little bastard, you still want to drink tea with me, as if you are the only one who doesn't know how to do it."
She really couldn't hold it back. She had expected that her words would have little effect on Saphir, but she didn't expect the other party to respond in that way. Now she was caught off guard by Daiyu's small combo.
After being stunned for a few seconds, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Counting the years she has lived since the Demon War, Saphir is the first person who would speak to her like this. She doesn't have many friends. Including Ying and Kitsunesai, as well as the deceased Torachiyo, Nagi Yuri, and Yingmukai Tengu Reizenbo, there are only a few people.
Now, my old friend has passed away, and there are only two people left by my side. I feel a little lonely.
Looking at Saphir, whose face was beautiful and calm yet a little playful, Zhen couldn't hide the smile on his face, so he simply smiled and asked, "Okay, we will hold the festival in half a month, are you interested?"
"Half a month? Let me calculate... it should be no problem. It just so happens that I will go to Liyue next week to host the opening ceremony there, and then come here. Well, you can come and take a look." Saphir agreed after a little thought.
Anyway, the renovation of the Moonlight Tavern here will take about the same amount of time, which is just right.
After receiving Safir's affirmative answer, Zhen's smile became even brighter. She really liked this girl, not only because of her life-saving grace and her relationship with Morax. Even if these points were put aside, in Zhen's opinion, Safir was still a person worth cooperating with.
After all, there are not many executives who can take into account the development and bilateral relations between Dongdong and other countries. It is rare for Safire to consider both sides.
Zhen is not Ying. Her vision is higher and her thinking is more advanced. Naturally, she can understand some of Safir's ideas and plans. Because of this, Zhen wants to see how far Safir can go.
Nodding, he was quite satisfied, and then he continued, "You are the kind of person who never comes here for no reason. You must have some request this time, right?"
"You are really wronging me. My relationship with Ying and Shen Zi is very good." Saphir never mentioned the fact that he was almost beaten to death by the general.
As she said this, she glanced at Kitsai Palace again: "Even Kitsai Palace is now my dependent, Miss Barr, your Inazuma senior officials all have my Saphir mark on them."
"However, you don't have control over them, right? If so, what should I worry about? Hu Zhaigong went to help you out of his own will and the idea of repaying a favor. Ying went to Xumi last time to seek revenge." Zhen looked unconcerned.
As the highest leader of Inazuma, she would not be emotionally affected by these few words.
She knew very well that Safir was a very cunning girl. She must have some evil intentions in saying this deliberately. If she got angry easily, she would be cheated.
Seeing that he was not fooled, Saphir smiled and said frankly: "Okay, okay, it's not a big deal. It's just related to the Moonlight Tavern."
"The Moonlight Tavern?" Zhen nodded. "I remember that was the property you bought with a bow, right?"
"Flying Thunder Vibrating String." Ying added.
Zhen nodded: "Yes, that's right, it's this bow."
When Fei Lei was mentioned, a look of reminiscence flashed in Huzaigong's eyes. After all, it was related to Qianlai Xiang. She had also visited Qinglai Island a while ago. Unfortunately, the entire Qinglai Island was destroyed, leaving only the Qianlai Shrine. A few adventurers accompanied a cat named Qinzi, dreaming of the almost impossible dream of reviving the shrine.
A cat is a cat after all, and its thinking is always so simple. He has never understood what Qian Laixiang did, nor does he understand what is the key factor in the shrine's decline.
There is no one on Qinglai Island anymore. How could anyone go to worship at a shrine on a deserted island?
Kitsusaigumi also tried to persuade Neko to take the cats away from there and come to Mingjin Taisha, but Neko didn't want to and insisted on staying there, waiting for Qianlaixiang's return...
But that person could never come back, and Qinzi's waiting was destined to be in vain, as Huzaigong finally left.
He did not tell Qinzi this news. Perhaps, Qinzi had already noticed it and was just deceiving himself. Or, for Qinzi, the shrine was just a thought. He was guarding the shrine that Qianlaixiang cared about most during his lifetime for her.
But what Neko didn't know was that it was actually on the list of people that Asakai Xiang cared about the most. If Asakai Xiang was still alive, he would probably hope that Neko would follow Kitsaigumi back to Naruto-taisha.
But, she is already dead.
Therefore, Qinzi's persistence in missing his master is even more touching.
"The Moonlight Tavern, the person in charge now is Grusha, right? Shen Zi and I go there often and the place is run in good order. Why do you suddenly want to make changes in this store?" Hu Zaigong asked, waving away the memories in his mind.
Safire pointed to the scattered cards on the table and said, "What do you think will happen if we combine it with this thing?"
"Seven Saints Summons?" Zhen raised her eyebrows. She didn't know about the Cat's Tail Tavern yet, so this idea seemed a little novel to her.
Saphir nodded with a smile: "Although the Moonlight Tavern has a decent income under Grusha's management, it is just trying to gain a foothold in Inazuma City by selling imported alcohol. It is not much different from those traditional izakayas.
My idea is to break out of the small circle of selling alcohol, combine it with the currently popular games, and create some gimmicks to make my tavern unique and a leisure place where you can eat and play. "
There was one thing she didn't say, which is that taverns have always given people the impression of being a mixed crowd and a bit dirty, but if it were like the Cat's Tail Tavern, starting with the environment and improving the service and facilities, it might really stand out in Inazuma City and become a unique tourist destination.
This is also beneficial to the people present. After all, the country's wealth comes from taxes, and if the Moonlight Tavern becomes famous, it can boost the tertiary industry in Inazuma City. By then, the income of other stores will also increase, and Inazuma City will be able to usher in rapid development. Of course, this is a long-term plan, and Saphir does not need to worry about it.
As long as Hu Zhaigong realizes this, she will naturally add fuel to the fire behind the scenes and take advantage of the trend she has created.
Inazuma hasn't made any progress for a long time and is just waiting for this opportunity.
Sure enough, when Safir finished speaking, Huzai Palace had already fallen into deep thought. She felt that Safir's proposal was feasible, and that she could do more along the other party's lines of thought.
Zhen looked at Hu Zhaigong who was lost in thought, and understood. He looked at Saphir with a softer look: "So, you need our cooperation. Do you want to gain some benefits in taxation, or do you want investment?"
"Neither." Safire shook his head.
This puzzled Ying: "You don't want anything? Then what do you want? Inazuma can't give you that much support. After all, these are your ideas, and we don't have the management rights."
She never considered using containment tactics to seize management rights, which she thought was too despicable.
Zhen looked up at his sister without saying a word. Although this was the case, there was a difference between doing or not doing and mentioning or not mentioning. If she really wanted the management rights, Safir could only give her some. After all, this was a question of interest distribution between the two parties, and it could not be fooled by some personal feelings.
Ying is too simple-minded and is not cut out for business at all.
Fortunately, Inazuma doesn't need Ying to work hard now. With Shin and Kitsunayori around, there is no need to worry about being taken advantage of.
Saphir looked towards Kitsai Palace, and after a few seconds he said, "I need some special features, such as... monsters."
Hu Zhaigong's eyes lit up slightly, and she seemed to understand something, but a flash of inspiration passed through her mind and she couldn't catch it.
Safir laughed and stood up: "Today's negotiations went smoothly. We have reached a consensus, which is enough. Because the decoration will take some time, so let's wait until the decoration is completed. As for the monster, I will keep it a secret for now.
I guess we’ll be able to find the right person after a while.”
Yes, she just had a sudden idea, a perfect candidate to be a selling point and employee of the Moonlight Tavern, but... she still had to wait.
