Original God's Dark Priest

On the other side, Tinari had secretly found Cole and gave him some instructions.

After explaining, he confirmed: "Well... these are probably what we need. Is there any difficulty?"

"I have brought most of the potions, and I should be able to buy the rest." It was not the first time that Cole had run errands for Tinari, so such a small matter was naturally no problem at all.

When Paimon and Ying ran over with the camera, their conversation had already ended.

Little Paimon only noticed the appearance of Cole, and greeted him: "Cole, you are here too!" Then she looked at Tinari, "Tinari, have you come up with any good ideas?"

"I guess some basic habits of organisms will not change much due to mutations, so I want to use this to lure out the swift flying butterflies." Tinari told his plan very frankly. As an outstanding scholar of the life theory school, he should be the best at catching butterflies.

But he didn't say too much, leaving himself some room: "Of course, maybe my guess is wrong. Every mutation means a new possibility, especially artificially induced mutations...

The specific situation can only be determined after the experiment. Ke Lai and I will go to buy various chemicals needed for the experiment. See you later."

Self-confidence is a scholar's sharpest spear, which can help them rise to the top in the face of various difficulties.

Humility is the strongest shield for scholars. When speaking, one should be cautious so as not to put oneself in the spotlight. Tinari knows this well.

A scholar who is too conceited cannot make mistakes, or rather, people will not allow them to make mistakes, otherwise they will fall from the altar. Many conceited geniuses have been destroyed by public opinion in this way. Therefore, anyone who has a great reputation has these two qualities.

Seeing that Tinari seemed to have an idea and was going to start working on the problem, Paimon didn't bother him and waved, "Well, bye!"

Little Paimon said goodbye to Tinari and Cole, and went to find Xier and Leila. They hadn't started yet, and Leila didn't look very energetic.

Little Paimon heard Leila sighing and asked, "Leila looks distressed?"

"Yeah, I have no idea what to do... What color is the Swift Flying Butterfly? Does it have special patterns? What's the difference between it and ordinary butterflies?" Leila has been worrying about these questions since a while ago. "I can't even figure out these most basic questions. The knowledge I've learned is of no use..."

She was from the Minglun School, majoring in astrology. To be honest, it was a bit difficult for her to use astrology to predict the positions of three butterflies she had never seen before in broad daylight.

Xi'er smiled and comforted him, "It's okay. It's okay if you can't think of it. It's only the first round anyway. Six people are fighting for three butterflies in Xumi City. It's normal that you can't do it."

Little Paimon scratched her head and had some guesses. She asked, "Could it be that because it's daytime, we can't use astrology?"

"No, if you really want to use it, you can use it, just use the astrolabe..." Leila sighed. Although it would be more difficult to do astrology during the day, she was an outstanding student of the Minglun School after all, so she would naturally not be restricted by this.

This made little Paimeng even more confused: "Then why not use it?"

Xier covered her mouth and chuckled: "It's because I read too many Steambird newspapers."

Leila hurriedly tried to cover Xi'er's mouth in a panic, but seeing Ying and Little Paimon both looking at her inquiringly, she had no choice but to lower her head and explain: "Senior Astrologis Mona Megistus once said that people who use astrology to excessively seek benefits that do not belong to them will eventually lose the blessing of the starry sky...

This…I read this in an academic journal. I really like reading articles written by senior Mona…”

"..." Xier looked at the girl speechlessly. When did Steambird become an academic newspaper? And Mona...

Xier is very familiar with her. She even has a shop in Liyue. She said something about losing the blessing of the starry sky. She thinks Mona's strength has improved rapidly during this period.

That water divination skill is probably comparable to that of Barbiros. Of course, what Mona said is actually true. The fate of the people of Teyvat is already predetermined. Changing the fate of others at will will indeed cause these fortune tellers to gradually lose their divination ability due to the butterfly effect.

But if Mona understood this, how could Saphir not understand it? Therefore, the main purpose of forcing Mona to stay in Liyue was not to keep her by his side, but to hope that Mona could gather the strengths of all families and break through that shackle.

From a third-rate fortune teller who peeked into fate to a first-rate fortune teller who can predict fate.

Barbieros is such a first-rate fortune teller, there is no reason why Mona can't do it.

As the butterfly that disrupted the fate of many people, Safire's way of fighting against fate has never been to rush forward blindly. She has always been trying to change the world with her own actions. This change involves all aspects.

Xi'er didn't know as much as Saphir, but that didn't stop her from understanding some of the meaning. After thinking for a while, she said, "Would you be angry because a child used a reasonable range of tools in a competition with other children?

There was no rule in this game that prohibited winning by any means, right? Senior Tinari would probably choose the method he was good at, and so would Senior Falusan and the others.

If the starry sky had its own ideas, it would not take back the blessing it bestowed on you just because of such a small matter, right? Blessing itself is a kind of favoritism, it doesn't make sense to give it to you and not let you use it, right?

Besides, they can all compete in their own way and with their own abilities, so why should you restrict them? That’s not fair, right? "

"Xi'er..." Leila was somewhat touched, but after hesitating for a few seconds, she shook her head. "Although I know you are trying to comfort me, I think it's better not to use it unless it's absolutely necessary. You just said that this is only the first game. Let's take it slow and try our luck in the city first."

Xier would naturally not refuse Leila's request. She reached out and rubbed Leila's chubby face, and nodded: "Let's go, let's go for a walk together."

"Hmm!" Leila felt very embarrassed when her cheek was rubbed like this. Perhaps she felt that she was holding back. She explained, "I'm actually quite good at observation. If I'm lucky, I might be able to find that special butterfly..."

As they were about to go to the city to take a look, they heard someone nearby shouting, "Hey! Let's go to the city to see what's going on! I heard someone found the Swift Flying Butterfly!"

"Is it true? Who found it?" another person asked quickly.

The person who came to report the news at the beginning replied: "No one said, anyway, we can find out by going and taking a look, right?"

"Has someone found the Swift Butterfly so quickly? That's amazing." Little Paimon exclaimed, then came to his senses and was a little confused, "So, who found it?"

"Faroshan and Kawi seem to be planning to tinker with some mechanical device. They shouldn't be caught so quickly. Tinari just left not long ago, and Leila and Xier are also here, so..." Ying analyzed it briefly, and she and Paimon looked up at each other and said at the same time:

"Jide?"

Xi'er looked amused: "How could that girl Jiede be so quick? Should I say she is worthy of it?"

"Shouldn't you guys go over and take a look? If Jade really caught the butterfly, this scene should be worth recording, right?" Leila was concerned about Ying and Paimon's work. "Wait a minute, let's go into the city and look for it. See you then."

Little Paimon nodded after hearing this, and then looked at Ying: "Okay, then let's go to Jade first, and then see what the others are doing!"

Ying nodded and waved to Leila and Xier: "Goodbye, Leila, Xier, see you later."

"See you."

Because several contestants carried reminders, Ying and Paimon quickly found Jade's location, which was on a tree, following the reminders of the devices.

Little Paimon quickly flew to Jade and said with a smile, "Jade! I finally found you. You came out to look for butterflies without saying a word. You are really full of energy.

Wait, is this the Swift Butterfly? "

Halfway through her words, she noticed that Jade was staring intently at a beautiful blue butterfly not far away, and she couldn't help but exclaim.

Jade didn't even have time to greet Xiao Paimeng and the others. She swooped down quickly and covered the butterfly with a glass container that she had prepared in advance. She easily put the butterfly in the container, thus completely catching the butterfly.

Seeing Jade's agility, Ying and Paimon's pupils shrank slightly. Jade's speed was very fast, and it was obvious at a glance that this girl was a master with extremely rich combat experience.

Jade caught the butterfly and slowly breathed a sigh of relief. She took the butterfly out of the glass container and planned to observe it carefully, but the moment she got the butterfly, her face turned dark.

Little Paimon noticed her change and was confused: "Huh? What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Jade dropped her hands helplessly and smiled bitterly: "Ah... This is a mechanical butterfly. Looks like I caught the wrong one."

"Mechanical butterfly?" Ying walked quickly forward and took the butterfly from Jade's hand. When she held the butterfly in her hand, the heavy weight instantly made Ying's face startle. Jade was right, this was indeed a machine.

The three of them were still sighing over this misunderstanding when Kavi's voice came from under the tree: "I heard that Miss Jade caught the Swift Flying Butterfly? Can you let me see what it looks like?"

He was so curious that he couldn't wait to come and see it.

When he saw the mechanical butterfly in Ying's hand, a strange expression appeared on his face: "Eh... Isn't this the mechanical bait I released? This..."

Jade shrugged. "I didn't know it was a bait at first. I just saw it was different from the other butterflies, so I chased it... What a shame."

"Uh...hahaha, sorry for causing you trouble." Kavi apologized subconsciously.

Falushan followed behind Kawi and chuckled, "So, Kawi, the bait butterfly you released failed to attract the Swift Flying Butterfly, but it attracted Junior Jade. Does that mean that your bait is so realistic that it even fooled the other contestants?"

"Ah? Kavi, was it you who released this?" Ying and Jade said in unison, feeling frustrated as if they had been defeated by Kavi.

Kavi scratched the back of his head and admitted, “Yes, actually, this was when I was doing interior design once before. I felt that the fake flowers on the wall were too monotonous, so I wanted to place some moving mechanical butterflies as embellishments.

In order to make a small and flexible mechanical butterfly, I specially asked Senior Falusan for advice! Then not long ago, Senior Falusan and I took out all the mechanical butterflies and released them into the city——"

"Ah - I've been confused..." Jade covered her face. She felt like she had turned into a butterfly and was caught and run away by Kavi with bait.

Little Paimon patted Jade's head to comfort her, then asked, "But what's the point of doing this?"

"Humph, you even ask this. Young people nowadays are really curious about things that are not seen before." Falushan raised her head with a proud look, "Have you never played that game? Tie a piece of paper to a bamboo pole, take it to the flower field and wave it, and you can attract a bunch of butterflies."

Jade frowned in thought. She had played this game before, but that was when she was very young. When she was running around with her father, sometimes when they passed by a place full of flowers, Gabriel would tie paper pieces to a bamboo pole to make fake butterflies. Then she would run around with the bamboo pole and attract many butterflies to follow her.

Jade remembered that she had asked Gabriel why these butterflies followed her. Gabriel explained that it was because these butterflies mistook the fake butterflies in her hand for real ones and were chasing them to mate.

At that time, Jade was still laughing at those stupid butterflies. How could they mistake paper butterflies for real butterflies? That was so stupid.

Thinking of this, Jade suddenly felt that she was not that smart. After all, she had become the "butterfly" deceived by the fake butterfly.

She sighed and looked at Falusan with some depression: "Senior Falusan...you are not planning to use this method to attract all the butterflies in Xumi City, are you?"

Falushan stood with her hands on her hips and chest puffed out, very confident: "That's right! The butterflies in Xumi City will regard our mechanical baits as their own kind and follow them.

We just need to keep releasing and retrieving bait, and we can catch all the butterflies in the city, and then we can identify the swift flying butterflies among them!"

No wonder Kavi came over excitedly to check. It turned out that he wanted to know the characteristics of the Swift Flying Butterfly so that he could distinguish and select whether there were any Swift Flying Butterflies among the butterflies they caught.

Little Paimon was shocked by their almost rogue behavior and said, "There is actually such a method!"

"Don't underestimate the wisdom of your seniors. When I heard the content of the competition, I had already thought of a way to win." Falushan was very pleased with herself and had no idea that she was bullying the younger generation.

"Of course, it is also thanks to the younger generation for making such a lifelike mechanical butterfly. It seems that Shahavalo has not been completely useless over the years. At least he has made some achievements in teaching and educating people." This sentence was said to Kavi as an encouragement to him.

Kawi was not proud of this, but said calmly: "I just do what I am good at. The idea was thought up by my predecessors."

"You're welcome. Once we catch all the butterflies in the city, we'll split the points from this round..." Farusan and Kavi praised each other and imagined a bright future.

As she spoke, she looked up at the sky again and saw several mechanical baits flying back. She quickly reminded them, "Look, some mechanical baits have already flown back."

Halfway through her speech, the excitement on her face turned into confusion: "No... Why is there nothing behind the bait? Am I starting to get dizzy?"

In response, Little Paimon mercilessly told Falusan to face the reality: "There is nothing. It seems that your method has failed!"

Seeing that Kawi's method didn't work, Jade shook her head and said, "It seems that not only humans, but also butterflies can grow. Well, I should set out quickly to continue searching.

See you later, Laying, little Paimon, senior Kavi, and senior Falusan."

After saying that, she quickly jumped down from the tree and quickly rushed to another place.
