Original God's Dark Priest

Chapter 560 Responsibility and Tenderness

After eating and drinking, little Paimon leaned against a small rock with satisfaction and touched his round belly: "After all this time, it turns out that the Phantom Thieves are actually the Treasure Stealing Group.

I always feel a little disappointed, because I thought there was a clue to some unparalleled treasure on the back of the card."

Charlotte chuckled and soothed him, "You can't say that. Look at it from a positive perspective. We have solved an international case after all! We will definitely have enough material for exclusive news."

She was a little excited as she spoke. Originally, this field trip was a thankless job, but now it seems that she has gained a lot.

"In fact, if you want major international cases and exclusive news, just follow Safire. Even if it's just recording some daily life, it should be enough for you to write a lot." Little Paimon said to Safire, who was holding a bucket and pouring water into the charcoal.

Charlotte's smile froze. It's not like she hadn't thought about it before, but between the manuscript and her life, she knew how to choose.

There are so many things to pay attention to when interviewing an executive of the Fatui. Not only is the process cumbersome, but there are also many taboos that cannot be reported.

If one is exposed to this kind of information for a long time, it is easy to be targeted. Charlotte felt that her life was not worth the risk, so she gave up this seemingly tempting option.

The topic ended here. After a while, Paimon suddenly sighed and said, "If there is anything I regret, it is that I didn't meet the two mysterious inventors of the Seven Summonings."

"Haha, it seems like everyone likes Seven Saints Summons very much!" Qiliangliang looked around and noticed everyone's enthusiasm for this game.

Ying nodded in agreement: "It's mainly because I like making friends."

Saphir had already taken care of the grill and charcoal, and after confirming that there would be no fire, he walked over with a bit of annoyance: "All of you, after finishing your meal, you just sit here and act like masters, and let me serve you?"

"Oh... I was so busy chatting that I forgot..." Charlotte stuck out her tongue. She had originally been thinking about helping Saphir clean up, but she ended up chatting with Ying and the others for a long time and completely forgot about helping with the work.

Qi Liangliang had a similar expression;

Only Ying stood with her hands on her hips and chest puffed out, looking righteous and confident: "Ahem! Little Saphir, offer your loyalty to the traveler!"

"Loyalty?" Saphir flew up and kicked her on the butt. "There are no more than two people in this world who dare to talk to me like this. Do you want to be the third one?"

Ying covered the spot where she was kicked and jumped three feet high, and hurriedly hid to the side: "It's just a joke!"

Seeing Ying showing off, even Saphir couldn't help but smile, and the group laughed together.

When the laughter stopped, Saphir clapped his hands and asked mysteriously, "I'm going to meet two friends. Do you want to come with me?"

"Eh? There are actually some friends of Safir that I don't know?" Xiao Pai was surprised. She thought that she was familiar with Safir to a certain extent. As long as they were his friends, she had seen and knew them more or less.

This statement caused Safir to roll his eyes: "You have only known me for a few years? You think you know all my friends? You are so arrogant."

"Okay... then, who are your two friends this time?" Little Paimon was a little curious.

Safir frowned and thought for a while, then shook her head. "It's hard to say. After all, no matter what kind of personality a person has, they will be calm when facing me. I rarely meet arrogant guys. Even if I do, they are usually a little arrogant when we first meet, but they will be much more honest when we meet the second time..."

"I don't know why, but I always feel uncomfortable when I hear this." Little Paimon muttered softly.

Ying also smiled awkwardly: "In fact, the reason is very simple. Those who can be arrogant with her and not be beaten to death are generally smart. People with brains will not seek to be beaten."

Charlotte and Qi Liangliang nodded in agreement. Safire was such a good man who won people over with his virtue. That was how it was.

"So are you going or not?" Saphir was a little annoyed by their whispering and asked directly.

Others: "Go! Of course!"

They spoke in unison and showed great tacit understanding.

Seeing their reactions, Saphir nodded with satisfaction and led a few people towards Weimo Manor.

"Oh! Weimo Manor, I know, Ada and the others are stationed here!" After identifying the direction, little Paimon immediately began to introduce it to Qiliangliang and Charlotte.

Come to think of it, she hadn't seen Ada for a while. The last time she saw her was when she was helping Lannaro clean up the dead zone.

Thinking of the dead zone, she couldn't help but think of Lanmuhu Kunda, the old-fashioned seed who experienced two deaths for the forest.

Fortunately, everything is over. His sacrifice was worth it. The forest has once again welcomed peace. Even though few people know about his sacrifice, he protected something important. For Lan Muhu Kunda, this is enough.

Because of the previous disaster, the port of Ormos was destroyed. In order to take on the role of a port for Xumi's foreign trade, Vimalakirti Manor was expanded. With the joint efforts of the Order and the Fatui, it has been built into a decent shape.

Although it is not as prosperous as Liyue Port, it is still a bigger port than the former Port of Ormos. Ships from far away dock in the port in an orderly manner, and on the dock, many sailors are busy with their work.

It can be seen from this scene alone that Vimalakirti Manor has entered a period of rapid development. I believe that it will not be long before it becomes an important place no less important than Xumi City.

Perhaps, this has become an important city to promote the development of Xumi.

After looking around for a while near the dock, little Paimeng did not find anyone familiar, but he did see the flag of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce among the many ships.

However, they were not particularly familiar with Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, and the only one they were really familiar with was Xingqiu.

So, little Paimeng didn't go over to say hello.

Safir simply glanced at the developments here, and then led everyone along the road towards the dense forest.

The port has been rebuilt, and many elderly people in Weimo Village still like a peaceful life. After negotiating with Trofen and Ada, they know that the main purpose of Ada and his team's stay here is to rebuild the port, and they will leave when things here are over.

The old people had no objection to this and were even grateful to them.

They were also concerned about whether Trofen would leave. After all, the child had been here for a long time, and many people had already regarded him as a member of Weimo Manor. When they learned that Trofen might leave, the people in the manor felt a little disappointed.

Especially the children, many of them cried and begged Trofen to stay, and Lana also hoped that he could stay.

Although their relationship was not particularly smooth, at least they had confirmed their relationship. Lana didn't dare to think about how sad she would be if Trofen left.

Today, the two of them took advantage of their rest time to have a tryst in the woods outside the farm.

Holding Trofen's hand, Lana said with a hint of reluctance: "Can't you talk to your sister? If she loves you very much, she should agree to let you stay... I don't think she is that old-fashioned..."

"Lana, you know, we are the Fatui. The sister you mentioned is not my real sister. She is my boss, my leader, the executive officer." Trofen felt a little uncomfortable when he said this. In fact, he should have thought of it earlier.

It’s just that because he had been very busy with the reconstruction of the port, and it would take a long time, he subconsciously didn’t consider this issue.

Now, as the reconstruction draws to a close, separation has become an issue they have to face.

He really wanted to be willful, throw away his responsibilities and stay here, but he couldn't do that. It would be irresponsible to the adults and many of his colleagues.

In fact, both Trofen himself and Lana knew very well that if Saphir wanted, Trofen would not have any room for detour and must follow the order.

Maybe letting Trofen stay here was Saphir's original plan?

Mondstadt has Anjiu, Liyue has Sosia and Nadia, Inazuma has Grusha, Valentina and others, Chen Yugu has Katarina and her sister, and each of them has a team under their command.

These people are Safir's confidants left in various countries, allowing her to control the intelligence of various countries anytime and anywhere.

If that is the case, then why can’t Xumi have a Trofen?

Trofen sometimes thought so, but he felt that there was little hope because his position under Saphir was almost equal to that of Ada.

And Ada will definitely stay by Saphir's side and help her carry out various difficult tasks at any time.

Thinking of this, Trofen felt a little uncomfortable, but he still spoke to comfort her: "It's okay, Lana, I will ask Lord Dark Priest to come to Xumi more often to perform tasks. Then, we can meet... or..."

"No..." Lana shook her head and rejected Trofen's proposal.

Trofen's face changed drastically. He thought Lana was going to propose a separation, but the next second, Lana continued: "I can also join the Fatui. Then, I can go with them, right?"

"Lana, you..." Trofen's heart was filled with emotions and he didn't know what to say.

However, he didn't need to answer because Saphir answered for him: "Ms. Lana, do you want to join the Fatui? Oh, this is really a bit difficult. After all, you are a special existence among the rangers. I'm not sure whether the Order will let you go."

"Lord Dark Shepherd?!" Trofen turned around and immediately saw Saphir and several girls behind her with teasing looks on their faces.

He immediately half-knelt on the ground and said, "Your subordinate greets the executive officer."

There was actually no such rule under Safir's command, but he felt guilty and knelt down subconsciously.

Saphir glanced at him with a wry smile, then slowly walked to Lana and said, "Trofin, take these friends of mine back to Weimo Manor."

"Sir, I..." Trofen was a little panicked. He always felt that something would happen if Saphir left Lana alone.

Safir would not give him a chance to say more, and immediately his voice turned cold: "Is my words ineffective?"

"I'll do it right away." Trofen had no choice but to stand up and take Ying and the others to Weimo Manor.

After they walked away, Saphir looked at the ranger beside him and greeted him with a smile: "Hello, Miss Lana, we meet again."

"Hello... um... Lord Saphir." Lana didn't know how to address the other person for a moment, so she just followed Trofen's way of addressing him.

Noticing the other party's reserved attitude, Saphir laughed: "What's wrong? Has anything unpleasant happened between us?"

"No." Lana lowered her eyes and didn't look at her. There had indeed never been any conflict between them, but... their identities and positions were still there.

Saphir found a random tree stump to sit down, and patted the seat next to him: "Come and sit down, I don't eat people, why are you so afraid of me?"

Lana hesitated for a moment, but still walked over and sat next to Saphir.

Seeing Lana's reluctance, Saphir understood and said, "I know that sometimes my existence can cause trouble to you. It's normal for you to be annoyed with me. I understand."

"I dare not think so." Lana actually felt quite ashamed. The fact that Saphir would say such words meant that the girl had already seen through the affairs between her and Trofen. Now she came here probably to criticize her.

Lana felt that she was very lucky. At least the other party did not choose to fight and kill right away, otherwise she would have nowhere to seek justice.

"As for joining the Fatui...there's no need for that." Saphir spoke, shattering Lana's fantasy.

She has poached quite a few people from Xumi, and if she continues to poach, there is no guarantee that Nashida will not have objections. And the most important point is that if Lana is allowed to join the Fatui, let alone Nashida's reaction, Cole will definitely not agree.

Because Cole will definitely follow, and Tinari will never let him go, which will cause conflict.

Tinari is the disciple of the current great sage Nafis. She is in no mood to argue with Nafis about such things. It would be better for her to just reject Lana and be done with it once and for all.

Lana's eyes darkened after hearing what Saphir said, she had expected this result, but it still made her feel uncomfortable to be rejected so bluntly.

Saphir could naturally see what Lana was thinking, so she continued, "I can't explain the reason in detail, but I can let Trofen stay. I wonder if you can accept this result?"

Being promoted from a team leader or even an ordinary team member to a temporary decision-maker of a country is a promotion, while Trofen's continued stay in Xumi can only be considered a lateral transfer at best.

Moreover, according to Trofen's current position, he has been demoted from the third-in-command position to the counselor in Xumi, which is almost equivalent to Anastasia's position, and can be considered a demotion.

Of course, there are benefits as well. After Saphir took his men away, Trofen became the leader of the Xumi Fools. This means he has changed from being the third in command of a high-level unit to being the first in command of a grassroots unit, and the powers he holds are also different.

He still has to consider the pros and cons himself.

But Saphir did not intend to ask Trofen's opinion, because love is harmful to the brain, and a love-stricken brain would not care about its own interests, so at this time it was Lana who was more likely to think about this problem more clearly.

"If Trofen stays in Xumi, he won't be able to enjoy his current treatment, and he may need to go to Xumi City for long-term missions. The work he does will increase, and the allowance will decrease. Even so, can you accept it?" Saphir looked at Lana and asked seriously.

Lana opened her eyes wide and looked at Saphir in disbelief: "You mean, he can stay?!"

"Hasn't what I said been clear enough?" Safire frowned slightly and asked back.

Lana shook her head like a rattle. She just couldn't believe that the matter had been resolved so smoothly. Then she began to think about what Saphir meant.

If he wanted to stay in Xumi, many of his original benefits would be cancelled, which would have a big impact on Trofen. Lana felt that she couldn't be so selfish to make decisions for Trofen, so she asked tentatively, "Can I discuss this with him?"

"Please feel free to do as you please. Just tell me the result before I take my men away from Xumi." After saying that, Saphir stood up and looked in the direction of Vimalakirti Manor.

Trofen Senetsevich, the child from the Hearth House, and she, Safir, is the elder sister of every Senetsevich and Senetsevna.

Even though they have grown up and have the concept of superiors and subordinates in their minds, and there are many barriers between them in their daily interactions, in Safire's view, they are still his brothers and sisters.

Proper care is also a must. In fact, it's not just her, but also Alechino. The two of them will always try their best to plan a better future for the children who leave the Hearth House.

This is the responsibility and tenderness of a father and sister.
