Original God's Dark Priest
Chapter 561 One word wakes up the dreamer
At Weimo Manor, under the leadership of Trofen, Ying and his party found where Aida was.
Seeing Ying and the others, Aida was a little surprised: "Why are you here? Isn't Lord Safir here?"
"She went to talk to Lana alone and will probably be back soon." Ying said, glancing at Trofen.
Trofen looked unhappy and remained silent.
Ada nodded in understanding: "Is that so? Well, it looks like you are lucky, Trofen."
"Is this good luck? Lana can't stand the pressure from the adults..." Trofen muttered softly. He was worried that Saphir would do something to make Lana suffer. But due to the other party's orders, he had to wait here obediently.
Waiting is always anxious, and Trofen feels that time passes particularly slowly.
Seeing him fidgeting, Ada sighed and simply called out to Qiliangliang and Charlotte who were following behind Ying: "Are you also friends of Lord Saphir? Are you tired from the journey? Sit down and have some tea."
"Oh, I forgot to introduce her. This is Ada, Saphir's deputy. Even in the entire Fatui, she is second only to the executive officer!" Little Paimon introduced.
Charlotte and Qi Liangliang opened their eyes wide at the same time. They didn't expect that this tall-looking woman actually had such an identity.
Hearing what little Paimon said, Ada reached out and tapped the little guy's head gently, saying, "It's not that exaggerated. I'm just an ordinary hidden mirror lady. I'm just helping her with things thanks to the favor of Lord Dark Priest."
There is no such thing as being the number one person under the executive. From Ada's point of view, she is still far away from that. Whether it is Linnilinnet or Dieannala, they are all her goals to catch up with.
As she spoke, she did not stop pouring tea. After all, she had been the shopkeeper of Yanshang Tea House for a while, and she had still mastered the skill of making tea.
Ying took the tea handed over by Ada and drank it happily, then said: "Actually, Trofen is just too worried. Saphir has known about your relationship with Lana for a long time. If she wanted to stop it, she would have done it a long time ago. Why would she wait until today?"
"Having said that, I still can't help but worry." After all, it was something that concerned him, and Trofen was worried to the point of being confused.
Ada looked at her colleague who had worked with her for so long and shook her head helplessly: "You, just rest assured. Don't you know what kind of person Lord Safir is?"
"Hearing what you said, it seems like there is a story behind this?" Charlotte held the cup curiously and looked at Ada with sparkling eyes.
This means you're ready to just watch the show.
Facing such a look, Ada chuckled: "This matter is someone's privacy, I can't talk about it casually. Of course, if Trofen himself doesn't care, I can talk to you about it."
"Ada!" Trofen was naturally unwilling and immediately spoke out to stop it.
In fact, there was no need for Adado to say anything. Charlotte and Kirara could almost guess what was going on just by taking a look. However, they did not know much about the Fatui after all, so they only had a vague understanding of the dilemma faced by Trofen and Lana.
Ying wanted to explain, but Ada glanced at her and she shut up in dismay.
Sometimes Ying felt that Aida looked even scarier than Saphir, and that kind of aura always made her feel a little frightened.
If Sosia knew what Ying was thinking, she would definitely grab her hand to show her agreement. After all, she saw with her own eyes that Ada forced Saphir to drink the medicine. The executive officer's face was wrinkled into a ball, and he even threatened to teach Ada a lesson, and this man did not hesitate at all.
In the end, Safir drank the medicine with a sad face, and Ada was not punished at all. After all, Safir knew that Ada was doing it for her own good, so it was impossible for her to really bear a grudge or punish her.
But Ada's courage is something that most people cannot do. In addition, she has been restraining her subordinates for Saphir for a long time, and the aura of a person in a high position has long been formed.
This is also the reason why Lana subconsciously thought that Ada was a big shot when she first saw her.
Seeing Ying shut up, Ada looked at Charlotte and the others. "It's just a small matter of job transfer. To put it bluntly, the couple doesn't want to be in a long-distance relationship. Lord An Mu will have his own concerns. They are overly worried."
"Is that so... um, okay." Charlotte nodded. As a reporter, she naturally had a strong desire for knowledge and a gossipy spirit, but when she saw Ying's shocked look, she lost the courage to ask further questions.
Qi Liangliang sat aside obediently, she and Aida were not actually very familiar with each other. After all, before Safir officially became an executive officer, when she was sent as an envoy to Inazuma, Aida had not yet become Safir's subordinate, so she was only familiar with Valentina and the others, and did not know Aida.
Little Paimon looked left and right, a little impatient: "Why hasn't Saphir come back yet?"
"There are two possibilities. Either I am trying to persuade Lana to give up this relationship." Ada stretched out her right hand and counted on her fingers. "Or, I am analyzing the pros and cons for her. Lana is willing to take risks and may want to join the Fatui. But I don't think Lord Dark Priest will agree."
Trofen immediately frowned and argued: "Lana is an excellent warrior, she is fully capable of doing the job of the Fatui!"
"I didn't say she's unqualified, it's just that the adults won't agree." Ada looked at Trofen expressionlessly, "I understand your feelings, but, Trofen, you're also an old man in the Hearth House, didn't 'father' teach you to stay calm at all times?
Or is it that my 'sister' has been too gentle to you, causing you to be so comfortable that you have lost your most basic manners?"
Trofen choked, his lips trembled, he couldn't speak, and finally sat down dejectedly.
The reason why Saphir didn't accept Lana was actually very simple. He could fully understand it, but understanding was one thing and acceptance was another.
Seeing Trofen like this, Ada felt a little bit sorry, shook her head, and said: "Be prepared, when you choose that girl, you only have one way to go.
But you are lucky that you are not on a mission in Fontaine, otherwise, we probably won’t be able to sit together and drink in the future.”
"Yes, I know." Trofen hung his head, a little dejected. Ada's words reminded him that Hearth House does not allow betrayal. Everyone who wants to leave Hearth House or the Fatui will die in the end.
Even a kind servant would never let a traitor go, but since Saphir was willing to talk to Lana alone for so long, it was obvious that he had no intention of punishing them.
After taking a look at the somewhat confused Ying, Ada turned her back and sneered. To be honest, this matter was caused by this yellow-haired girl. If it weren't for her interference, the two of them would not have been able to get along, and naturally there would have been no entanglement today.
Lord Dark Priest really dotes on her. Even so, he is willing to clean up the mess for her... She herself doesn't even realize the mess she has caused.
Of course, knowing all this in your heart doesn't mean you have to say it out loud. Ada is very clear about her position. She is only responsible to Safir, and no one else has anything to do with her. She is willing to enlighten Trofen today just to complete this job for Safir.
After a while, Saphir came back alone. Seeing that Lana didn't follow him, Trofen looked at her nervously.
Noticing Trofen's look, Saphir showed no expression, but said calmly: "She is waiting for you outside. You can discuss some things among yourselves. Tell me the result when you have it."
After that, she drove Trofen out and asked him to discuss it with Lana on his own.
After Trofen left, Safir finally smiled. She looked at Ada whom she hadn't seen for a long time and hugged her: "Well, you are the one who makes me feel most at ease. Every time I see you, I feel that the burden on my shoulders is lightened a lot."
Ada's cheeks turned red after being suddenly hugged by Saphir. After a few seconds, she said, "There are others here."
"What are you afraid of? We haven't seen each other for so long, can't we just hug each other after a long separation?" Saphir let go of Ada and looked at her face seriously.
Because she stayed in Vimo Village for a long time, Ada did not wear the uniform of the Cangjing Lady, but wore simple clothes.
Because there was no blindfold to cover her, her aqua blue eyes were fully exposed at this moment.
"As long as you are happy." Ada shrugged helplessly.
But she did not forget, and walked quickly to the table and poured a cup of tea for Saphir: "You must be tired after walking all the way, have some tea and take a rest."
"I am indeed a little thirsty." Safir did not refuse, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then nodded, "Your cooking skills are still so good. When we are done with everything, let's go to the Yanshang Teahouse to continue working."
"My Lord, as long as you are happy." What else could Ada say? How could she refuse what her Lord said?
While drinking tea, Safir got down to business: "I heard from Xier that those two idiots ran here and hid?"
"Well... those two, yes, they came here some time ago. They said Xumi City was hosting a competition, and they were afraid of the crowds, so they came here to hide. Now that the competition is over, they have no intention of leaving." Ada thought for a moment and replied.
Saphir sneered, "Too many people? They are hiding from me! They are afraid that I will join in the fun during the competition, so they ran to Weimo Manor. Do they really think I can't find them?"
"Actually, there is no need for you to be so resentful. After all, it is Lord Sandoni who has come forward, and they cannot refuse." Ada felt a little sympathetic towards the two men and pleaded for them.
Saphir sneered, his expression became even colder. "Yes, Sandoni is the one who came forward, and we should give Sandoni face, but what is the mentality of that stupid Gulab? Why did he run to Sandoni to show off?
If I hadn't gone to the proprietress of the Cat's Tail Tavern to discuss business, I wouldn't have known that these two idiots had sold the business rights like that. They are really hopeless."
Ying and Charlotte looked at each other and their minds started to become active. The conversation between Saphir and Aida was not difficult to understand. It was obvious that the two idiots she was talking about were the two people who created the Seven Summonings.
They didn't expect that Saphir was so familiar with each other, and it seemed that he was related to the puppet.
Little Paimon didn't quite understand, so she asked, "Saphir, aren't you going to start the Seven Summoning business at the Moonlight Tavern? Why are you still struggling with the management rights?"
Safir didn't expect the little guy to understand the deep meaning, and just explained simply: "I bought the management rights from the Cat's Tail Tavern. It shouldn't have been so troublesome. Who knew they were so stupid..."
"That's very strange. If that's the problem, then those two should have some intelligence to be able to create this game. How could they easily hand it over to the Adventurer's Association for monopoly? If they were forced by the puppet, they could have contacted you, right?" Charlotte had almost finished her analysis and immediately found something strange.
Hearing this, Safir became even more furious, so he said that Gulab was stupid!
Sandone was not a man without vision. When he saw Gulab, he discovered the secret in his eyes and used this as a threat to get the operating rights.
You know, Gulab's all-seeing eye is a huge threat to all those who need to fight. After all, the battle starts with intelligence. As long as you are familiar with the opponent's tactics, your chances of winning will basically increase by half if you have the same strength.
And because of this, when those people were sure that Gulab could not be used for their own purposes, the first thing they thought of was assassination.
Even Saphir couldn't prevent this kind of thing, because she couldn't stay by Gulab's side all the time to protect him.
Sandone's holding of such a secret was equivalent to holding Gulab's lifeline. For his life, Kavebi gave him the exclusive operating rights without hesitation.
Fortunately, after learning that Saphir was interested in running the Seven Saints Summons and had a friendship with the two of them, Sandoni informed her. Otherwise, Saphir would have been kept in the dark until now.
It is precisely because of this incident that Saphir is extremely disappointed with Gulab and Javebida. This is completely a suicidal behavior.
Sandoni intended to join forces with her, which allowed these two idiots to accidentally save their lives. What if it was someone else?
If it were Pantalone, Saphir would basically have to accept the fact that Gulab was dead. After all, there was no way she would allow herself to be controlled by Pantalone just for Gulab's life.
Gulab will have to pay for his stupidity. If you can't keep something, you have to give it up. This is a very simple truth.
Seeing that Saphir was still angry, Aida hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not entirely a bad thing. This will make Mistress Puppet more determined to unite. She will regard Gulab as your bargaining chip."
"But Gulab is from the Fatima Court. Once Sandone learns about this, she may not think so." Saphir was troubled by this matter. "He is not that important to Nashida and Pal.
Instead, they would be afraid of Sandone's identity as an executive of the Fatui. And I would never tell them to let them fall out with Sandone. If this really happens... wouldn't I be in trouble?"
Ada was silent, Ying and Charlotte were also silent. They had no say regarding the conflict between the Fatui and the Sumeru God. Qiliangliang just listened quietly. She was just a small courier and this was not something she should consider.
Finally, it was little Paimon who broke the silence and asked in a low voice: "Then, wouldn't it be better for that Gulab to join the Fatui?"
When she said this, Saphir and Ada frowned at the same time.
One word awakens the dreamer!
Nashida did forcefully keep Gulab from leaving and let him continue to stay in Xumi as a scholar of the Faithful Court, but that was in the past when Xumi could protect him. Now, Gulab's abilities were at risk of being exposed, and continuing to stay in the Faithful Court might cost him his life.
In this case, Safir had an excuse to negotiate again, and this time, Nashida couldn't say much. Even for the sake of Gulab's life, Nashida would persuade Nafis on Safir's behalf to let Gulab go.
This was indeed a blessing in disguise. At this moment, Saphir was even more grateful that he did not choose to let Lana join the Fatui. Otherwise, if Lana, Cole and Gulab were poached at once, Nafis would probably run directly to the Jingshan Palace and go crazy.
Looking at little Paimon with a very gratified look, Safir felt for the first time that this little guy was indeed not useless except for his appetite. He even spoke much more gently: "Little Paimon is right. I will reward you with a plate of fried meat with honey sauce and carrots tonight."
"Great! Ying, Saphir rewarded me!" How could little Paimon know so much? She only cared about having an extra meal tonight, so she hugged Ying to celebrate.
Ying had no choice but to smile bitterly and could only agree: "Congratulations, little Paimeng."
