Original God's Dark Priest

Teyvat, a dark and unknown realm, contains unspeakable things.

At this moment, it was constantly twisting, emitting purple-black mist, with faint wailing coming from the mist.

Unclear whispers echoed here, and the purple-black mist that was swirling more and more violently gave people a feeling of unrest.

If someone was here, he might be able to see the anger from the rolling fog. In the center of the fog and mud, a slowly floating core-like substance trembled a few times, and then everything returned to calm.

If one must understand the meaning of this mumbling, it would probably be: "She... broke free... looked down upon... the arrogant... cannot be forgiven!"

Saphir had no idea what was happening in some unknown corner because of her actions. Even if she knew, she would not care, because she was now experiencing the biggest test of her life.

Her hands and feet were held down tightly, unable to move. Xianyun and Aping, one on each side, stretched out their hands to tickle her armpits and waist.

Safir felt that she must be having a nightmare, otherwise why would she endure such torture? She was about to laugh to death, but Xianyun and Aping had no intention of letting her go.

On this day, a rumor spread in the Yanshang Tea House that there was a madman who had lost his mind on the second floor and was laughing wildly. The laughter lasted for a very long time and could be heard from far away, even across two streets.

For this purpose, even the Thousand Rocks Army was dispatched. However, when the Thousand Rocks Army came here to understand the situation, they received instructions issued by Ningguang and Keqing together.

"The Rock Teahouse is holding a ceremony to dispel evil spirits. Do not disturb them."

In a word, the only person who could temporarily rescue Saphir from her suffering was also transferred away. Now, she had to bite the bullet and bear the full punishment.

While things were going very badly in the teahouse on Liyue Rock, all the people of Xumi had gathered in Aru Village early this morning after a whole night's rest, ready to start today's battle.

Ying and Paimon also tried to find Safir at night, but unfortunately, no one told them what Safir was doing.

Zhongli sipped his tea calmly and said, "Boss Phil has something important to do. I'm afraid he won't be able to come back in the next few days."

"Is that so? What a pity! I thought she would come back to watch the game as soon as she finished her work." Little Paimeng felt a little regretful.

But things have come to this, and there is no way to force it. With a little regret, the two came to Aru Village to meet the other contestants.

Upon arriving at the designated location, the first person I saw was a yawning Kawi: "I say... your dark circles look worse than last time. Are you okay?"

He was talking to Leila. As he said, Leila's current condition was indeed very bad. She hung her head, had very obvious dark circles under her eyes, and even had bags under her eyes.

It’s hard to imagine how this girl, at this age when her face is full of collagen, managed to get herself into this state.

"Thank you for your concern, Senior Kavi. I've been suffering from insomnia these days..." Leila responded with difficulty.

Xi'er, who was standing by, couldn't bear to watch it any longer: "Every night I toss and turn thinking about these things until I can't sleep, and then I feel listless during the day and then something goes wrong, and then at night I start thinking about the things that happened during the day again, and finally I feel so uncomfortable that I can't sleep again.

Are you some kind of self-destructive mental illness patient? "

As she spoke, she rubbed Leila's head, and the girl's originally smooth hair was made into a mess.

Leila struggled for a long time before she finally broke free from Xier's clutches. She said weakly, "No... it's not like that. I just didn't sleep well... even if I kept urging myself to fall asleep, I was always thinking about the competition, and before I knew it, it was already dawn."

In this regard, Kawi could only sigh: "Oh, I understand. I felt the same way when I was tortured by the design drawings."

"Party B is like this. Oftentimes, Party A doesn't consider feasibility when making requests. Things like bigger and smaller at the same time, colorful black, these are all said by those guys who mimic humans. Just get used to it." Xier patted Kavi's shoulder and comforted him.

Kavi felt that Xi'er was his confidant, and nodded vigorously immediately: "Yes, yes, I'm really fed up with it every time! To the point where I couldn't sleep for a long time because of these things."

"Does Senior Kavi have any good ideas?" Leila looked at Kavi and felt that he was in good spirits and did not look like he had not slept well at all.

Kawi looked up and said with a tone of someone who had experienced it: "To be honest, no. It's better to say that there is no quick solution to many things. You can only endure it or just get through it.

Hmm... Maybe it's like being sick? Sometimes there's no cure, so you can only wait for it to heal naturally. I don't know what you're worried about, but I can feel the strong anxiety and depression in you. But... the game is about to start, so cheer up. "

"Okay, I wish you good luck in the competition." Although Leila was a little disappointed that she didn't get the solution she wanted, she still sincerely sent her blessings to Kavi.

Xier reached out to help Leila smooth her hair and chuckled, "Relax, go to sleep if you are really tired, and leave the rest to me."

"You can't do that. If you sleep during the competition and the people in the academy find out, you'll be in trouble." Leila quickly grabbed Xier's hand. She thought this was not a good idea.

Xier just smiled, then held Leila's hand and pulled her towards the commentary seat.

Safire was still absent from today's commentary session.

Jade frowned and asked, "Hey, why are there only two of you? Where's that Saphir guy?"

"Unfortunately, Judge Safir seems to be absent from this competition due to personal reasons. You should just focus on preparing for your own competitions." Elhaisen briefly explained the situation and then said, "Next, I will announce the content of the second round.

There are three underground jammers buried in the area near Aru Village. These machines can simulate the effects of leyline disturbances and constantly interfere with the environment in the area. Your goal is to shut them down.

The three people who finish the race first will receive four points, three points, and two points respectively in the order in which they shut down their machines.

It should be emphasized that each person can only carry a certain amount of water and food, and leaving the competition area will be regarded as giving up this round. "

After he finished speaking, he looked at Ying and said, "If any contestant has a Cave Heaven Pass provided by the Traveler, please return it to the Traveler for the time being. Using the Cave Heaven Pass to cheat is not allowed in this competition."

Xier, Leila and Jade all took out their own cave certificates and returned them to Ying.

Taking the cave pass from them, Ying smiled and said, "Hurry up and take out the things stored in it. You can only carry them with you this time."

"Wow, luckily the Eye of God has a certain amount of storage space, otherwise wouldn't I have to find a bag to carry these things on my back?" Jade was somewhat glad that she had obtained an Eye of God before.

Falushan looked at the cave pass handed over by several people and was a little curious: "Is this the ticket to enter that strange space? I remember I went in there."

"Huh? Has Falushan actually been in there?" Little Paimeng was surprised.

Falusan shook her hair and said, "You should call me senior, do you know? That was when I just came out of the ruins. I fainted as soon as I came out, and then Saphir sent me in, and then Lord Grass God took me out."

"So that's how it is." Little Paimeng nodded.

After all the supplies were ready, Falushan looked at Kawi and said, "How about it, junior? Do you want to continue to cooperate this time? In view of the last round, I can consider helping you get the points first this time."

"No need, senior. I have been to this area many times, and mechanics is one of my specialties. It is easy for me to find the underground jammer." Kavi declined Falushan's kindness. In fact, Falushan was also very proficient in mechanics.

If the two of them work together, it would actually be a bit too powerful, and I guess Elhaisen wouldn't agree.

"Okay, it's a good thing for young people to have confidence. I'm also very familiar with this area, let's see who of us finds the machine first." Falushan was not annoyed. She knew what Kavi was thinking, and she was not a petty person. Many things could be said face to face without affecting the relationship.

Their friendship is an ideal one.

After that, she looked around again and lowered her voice: "But besides us, there is another favorite to win the championship. We need to be careful."

"The favorite to win the championship?" Little Paimeng heard this sentence as soon as he came over, and immediately asked curiously.

Hearing her loud voice, Faluzan quickly put her index finger between her lips and asked her to speak more quietly: "Shh! Did you see it? It's that kid from Tinari."

As she spoke, she looked at Tinari who was deep in thought in the distance, and was obviously very afraid: "He won the first place in the last round. If she is the first to shut down the machine in this round, we can announce the end of the college competition in advance.

I heard that although he is a member of the Life Theory School, he is also very knowledgeable about earth vein machines and is a genius. This round of competition may not be difficult for him..."

"That makes sense. From this perspective, the possibility of Tinari winning is indeed very high." Little Paimon nodded in agreement.

Falushan puffed up her cheeks and complained angrily, "That kid already has a disciple as good as Ke Lai. If he is allowed to win the championship, wouldn't it mean that all the good things are taken by the younger generation?

As a senior, I want to prevent this unfair situation from happening. I'm leaving first!"

After saying this, without saying goodbye to anyone else, Falushan quickly left to look for those machines.

After Falushan left, Kawi did not plan to stay for long. After all, he also wanted the championship very much: "I'm leaving too. See you later."

Watching the two leave, Xi'er muttered, "Speaking of which... preventing the junior from winning the championship and being jealous of the junior for receiving a good disciple, is this really what a senior should do?"

"Xier, let's set off quickly. If we wait any longer we will miss the opportunity." Leila suggested.

But Xier didn't nod, instead she looked at Tinari and said, "Leila, go look for it yourself first, I'll follow you later."

Following Xier's gaze, Leila knew that Xier wanted to see Tinari about something, so she nodded and left first.

After Leila left, Xier came to Tinari and waved her hand in front of him: "How is it, Senior Tinari, is everything ok?"

"It's okay now, you can still hold on. Don't you want to go and compete?" Tinari gave a brief answer and then asked curiously.

Xier shrugged: "After all, I am Senior Brother Sai Nuo's junior sister. I am probably the only one who can take care of you here. If Senior Brother Sai Nuo doesn't come, I will be blamed if something happens to you."

Tinari smiled when he heard that: "Then you can't always follow me, right? What about your own competition?"

"Yes, so I am very troubled. If that person is worried about you, why doesn't he come by himself? He still asks me for help. He wants me to come to the competition and to get the cards. How can he not take any loss?" Xier was going crazy, but finally heaved a sigh of relief and calmed down.

At this point, there is no point in getting mad, we need a response plan.

"Okay, I'm fine, you go first. If you really can't bear it, I will leave here immediately." Tinari comforted.

Xier nodded, but still took out a small prop similar to fireworks: "Take this, if you encounter an accident, you can launch it, so that I will rush to the scene without stopping and carry you back. I will treat you well, okay?"

"Thank you so much, Junior Sister Xier." Tinari took it with a smile and expressed his gratitude.

Xi'er didn't look back: "Don't, I'm Senor's junior, it's not appropriate for you to call me junior."

Jade carried the water bag that was distributed and looked at the two people in the commentary booth: "Is the water a little less?"

"I'm sorry, but this is the rule of the competition." Nilu thought she was dissatisfied and explained, "This round of competition, on the surface, is a competition to shut down the machine quickly, but in fact it is also a test of the ability to survive in harsh conditions.

If you find it difficult, there is nothing we can do. After all, the rules are the rules and we have no right to modify them.”

"Well... I don't really care. It's just that I see that some of the contestants this time have never set foot in the desert. Aren't you afraid that they will encounter danger?" Jade has followed Gabriel since she was a child, and surviving in the desert is no longer a problem for her. Instead, she is a little worried about the other contestants.

Nilu smiled bitterly: "The competition is also to test one's ability. After all, Xumi is not only a rainforest, but also a desert. As a Xumi person, the ability to survive in the desert is a must."

"Okay, I understand. Then, I'll go first. Bye!" Jade shook her head and stopped dwelling on it. Then she looked at Ying and Paimon again, "See you later!"

Ying nodded and said goodbye to Jade: "See you later."

After they all left, Little Paimon spoke up: "Well... everyone has already left. Who should we go to first this time? Let me think...

By the way, didn’t Falusan say that Tinari is the favorite to win this time? Let’s go find him first! "
