Original God's Dark Priest

"It is said that it was the most beautiful and moving music he had ever heard in his life." Dvorak thought, "Even in such a crisis, the fairy music successfully distracted his attention and made him almost forget that he was about to drown..."

Ying and Yaoyao looked at each other. The music sounded a bit scary. How could it be called heavenly music? It should be considered as an illusion, right?

Dvorak did not notice their interaction and continued, "When he came to his senses, he found that he had returned to the shore without knowing when, and not far away from him, stood a strange woman with an extraordinary temperament.

Seeing that the ancestor was fine, she left without saying a word. The ancestor wanted to catch up with her to thank her, but there was only a dozen steps between them. However, no matter how hard he tried, there was always a dozen steps between them and he could not catch up.

In the end, my ancestor could only bow and thank the woman's back and the mountains and rivers in the distance, then turned around and set out on the journey back home.

After returning to his hometown, he learned to play musical instruments, sang and chanted like a poet, and spread this story far and wide.

Later, as the story spread and was artistically processed more, the woman was gradually regarded as a fairy.

It became a little-known legend in the Fontaine region, called "The Fairy Overlooking the Lake."

"So this is the story..." Saphir suddenly realized that she had heard of this legend before. At first, she thought it was about the story of pure water spirits and didn't pay much attention to it. Now that she thinks about it, it's probably...

Her expression was unnatural for a moment, because, if she remembered correctly, she did save someone a long time ago, but it had been a long time since then, and the matter was not particularly important, so she didn't take it to heart.

After so many years, she had long forgotten it. If Dvorak hadn't mentioned it today, she might not have remembered it.

Hmm...what should I say? Should I claim the credit? Forget it. After all, her situation is special, and it's not convincing to speak out now.

You can't just pat Dvorak on the shoulder and say, "Oh! I was the one who fished out your ancestor! Thank me!"

Dvorak would have taken her for a fool.

"It seems that Miss Safire knows this story. People often say that if you play musical instruments in the woods or by the water, as long as your level is good enough, invisible fairies will join the ensemble..." Dvorak finished explaining to Ying and the others, and looked at them, wanting to know what they thought of this story.

Yaoyao sighed softly. She thought the story was beautiful.

Ying also nodded slightly: "It's a good story."

Dvorak was very pleased to get the affirmation, and he said: "Well, in people's imagination nowadays, it has become more and more romantic and unrealistic... But I understand its reality better than anyone else.

I wanted to trace back the past and visit the place where the story originated and look for the descendants of that woman. "

Then, he pinched his chin and expressed his considerations: "The place where our ancestors fell into the water has long been untraceable, and I also know that this search is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

After so many years of wandering around, my legs and feet are no longer as agile as before. The wish that I have not been able to fulfill in my half-life has gradually become an obsession..."

Yaoyao blinked her big eyes, as if she could empathize with Dvorak's thoughts: "I haven't lived as long as half of my life... but I seem to understand this feeling."

"Me too..." Little Paimeng felt that he could understand it. "It's like saving the most delicious filling of the lotus crisp closest to the pistil, and you're reluctant to eat it, but it suddenly falls into the water...

I will definitely remember it for half my life!"

There was something wrong with the way Ying looked at little Paimeng. Everyone else was speaking so seriously, how could this guy say such...nonsense things.

But this is Paimon, so it's understandable.

Saphir was also a little speechless to Paimon, but she didn’t say anything. Instead, she looked at Dvorak: “Most people have this feeling. Obsession is an irresistible and insatiable desire imposed by life every day that a person goes through.

This feeling of wanting but not getting, this feeling of pursuing but not getting results, its name is regret. People always want to make up for regrets, but... regrets can never be made up completely. Life cannot be perfect. We can only choose the thing that is most important to us and the thing that we can't let go of.

Spending half of one's life trying to make amends and make it perfect, perhaps, even if one spends one's entire life, one still cannot get the desired result, but people still enjoy doing it, this is obsession. "

After saying that, Saphir looked at Dvorak with interest: "Since you are here, it seems to mean that you have made some progress?"

“Hahaha, you are worthy of being Miss Safire. You are right. I have indeed made some progress. After years of exploration, I can confirm that the location is in Liyue.” Dvorak smiled and expressed his guess.

Little Paimon immediately perked up when he heard this: "Oh! Did you finally find a clue?"

"Well, this is another strange story." Dvorak nodded, "I know Mond is a city-state of freedom and poetry. Recently, I heard that the God of Wind returned to Mond in the autumn. It is said that he is also the patron saint of music.

I went to the church in Mondstadt to pray, hoping that the wind god would give me some pointers. After I walked out of the church, I saw a group of leaves blowing in the air, drifting towards the stone gate.

The kind dreamer told me that it was the wind that was guiding me to Liyue, so I came all the way here. "

"That location is really in Liyue." Ying had to believe it now. Although Jiumengzi was unreliable, he would never joke about such things. It seemed that he was an insider of what happened back then.

Wendy might not necessarily be an insider, because this kid was just a wisp of wind at that time, and even the form of a wind elf had not yet taken shape. After all, Mondstadt was still under the rule of Diekarapian at that time.

However, since he was able to guide Dvorak to Liyue, it means that this guy had guessed something, which is why he led the other party to Liyue.

Then, by coincidence, Dvorak fell into the river and was fished out by Safire. How can I put it...

Could this be considered a fateful meeting?

Saphir rubbed his brows and stopped thinking about it. He turned to look at Dvorak and said, "Well... since it was the wind from Mondstadt that led you here, it's probably correct."

"A kindred spirit!" Hearing this, Dvorak was so excited that he wanted to grab Safir's hand. He knew the rumors must be wrong. How could such a beautiful and kind girl be a murderer? At the beginning... he must have seen it wrong! "I knew there was someone who would understand me."

But Yaoyao hesitated: "Hmm...really? It sounds like the kind of trick that the strange treasure-stealing uncles would use to trick the old lady of Qingce Village.

The Rock King has returned to the human world! Give me some money for travel expenses and incense money, and I will help pass it on to him and bless your family with safety... or something like that."

A sentence suddenly popped up in Saphir's mind: I am Qin Shihuang, v50 I will appoint you as the general of national defense.

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, but she still decided to help Dvorak: "Don't worry, Yaoyao, you won't be fooled so easily."

"That's right!" Little Paimon also nodded, "As long as you don't hand Mora over, you won't be deceived!"

But Dvorak seemed a little embarrassed: "To show my gratitude, I did spend a lot of Mora to buy a few bottles of fine wine and offered them as tribute to the Seven-Day Statue that passed by..."

"What?!" Safire couldn't sit still. Just because of this, Dvorak gave Jiumeng Zigong wine?

Little Paimeng was also anxious: "Oh, oh, look at him..." For the first time, she experienced what it meant to be disappointed with someone. She was confident that she would not be deceived one second ago, but the next second she found out that this person had been deceived. Even for little Paimeng, she would feel tired...

Yaoyao shook her head helplessly, thought for a moment and said, "How about this, we take uncle to Yujingtai in Liyue Harbor to find Sister Ganyu.

I don’t know enough people to be of much help, but Sister Ganyu and the Seven Stars whom she has been assisting know everything.

If your uncle is cheated, they will help you defend your rights. If the news brought by the wind is indeed reliable, it is most convenient to ask them if you want to continue looking for someone."

She never connected Safir with the people in Dvorak's story. In Yaoyao's opinion, although Safir also had the identity of an immortal, she was more like an ordinary person. Moreover, she did not stay in Liyue often, so she probably did not know a lot.

Ying thought about it carefully and felt that this made sense. After all, the festival was coming soon, so it would be nice to just visit them.

So she nodded: "It's indeed a good idea."

"But this way... seems to trouble you again..." Dvorak felt a little embarrassed.

Yaoyao consoled her, "I just wanted to bring some newly picked herbs and plants to my sister, it's on the way."

Little Paimon followed suit: "Oh yeah! We haven't seen Ganyu for a while, so let's just think of it as visiting an old friend before the Lantern Festival."

Saphir was the only one who hadn't expressed her opinion, and the others looked at her again.

Safir frowned slightly, looked around, shook his head and said, "You guys go ahead, I won't follow you, I have something else to do..."

Ying looked at her strangely, feeling that this guy was hiding something from her again, but she did not ask further. Instead, she nodded and said, "Then, without further ado, let's go."

Yaoyao, Ying, and Little Paimon took Dvorak to Liyue Harbor, while Saphir...

She headed straight towards Mondstadt.

This Wendy actually dared to take this opportunity to cheat for a drink! And he didn't even give her any!

She wants to find Jiumengzi and get the wool back from him!

After flying across a large area of ​​land at high speed, Saphir soon landed at the gate of Mondstadt. He was about to walk in, but met Amber who had returned from patrol as usual at the city gate.

When Amber saw Saphir, she immediately greeted him with great energy: "Saphir! Long time no see!"

"Oh! Amber, long time no see!" Safir also greeted Amber with a smile. His anger towards Wendy was only directed at him personally, and he would never vent his anger on others. This was Safir's principle.

The two of them walked towards the city together. As they walked, Amber asked curiously, "What's the matter with you coming to Mondstadt at this time? If I remember correctly, the Lantern Festival is coming soon in Liyue, right?"

"Yes, I'm going back to Liyue to celebrate the festival. I still have some time, so I came to Mondstadt to take a look. Is Amber interested in going to Liyue to play? The Lantern Festival is very lively." Saphir took the opportunity to make an invitation.

Amber was very happy to be invited by Saphir to celebrate the festival, but unfortunately, she didn't have time: "Wow, I really want to go, but unfortunately, I used up my vacation time last time to go to Xumi to find Kelai, so I can't go this time."

Hearing this, Saphir's face was full of regret: "Is that so? That's a pity."

"Who said it wasn't..." Amber sighed slightly, but soon cheered up, "It's okay, there will be another chance next time. Then I can invite Cole and Eula to celebrate the festival together."

"Well, next time you come, be sure to notify me." Saphir chuckled and made an agreement with Amber.

Amber nodded immediately: "It's a deal! By the way, what is the reason for you to come to Mond this time?"

"I have something to do with that bard." Saphir kept smiling, and there was no clue.

Amber tilted her head and didn't think much about it.

The bard that Saphir was referring to was naturally Wendy. Amber had no doubt that it would be someone else, because among so many bards in Mond, only Wendy looked different from the others.

Soon, the two said goodbye at the fountain square in Mondstadt. Amber was going back to the Knights to work, while Saphir was going to find Wendy.

Logically speaking, it was just a few bottles of wine, and Safire shouldn't have cared about it, but the problem was that Dvorak's ancestor was saved by Gui Zhong, which meant that Dvorak was really cheated of the wine by the wine swindler because of Safire.

It is not appropriate to say that it was a lie. To be precise, the person Dvorak was looking for was indeed in Liyue, but the problem was that Venti disappeared after showing Dvorak the way, and did not come to inform Saphir.

Maybe he really didn't know who Dvorak was looking for, and just guessed that it was someone in Liyue, but he should still let them know!

He just pointed out the way and then left it to her to find it on her own, catching her off guard.

At that time, I will take Dvorak to the ruins of Guiliji for a tour and tell him that the immortal is dead. Why don’t you go to his grave? If Guizhong is really dead, this can be regarded as a commemoration. But isn’t he not dead?

It is not easy to make this identity public now. Even if it is made public, people will not believe it. He has seen Safire when he was a child, so he cannot be fooled.

Safir didn't dare to imagine what expressions the Xianyun guys would have if he took Dvorak to Guiliyuan to visit the grave. It would be so presumptuous.

Morax's funeral was abstract enough, and she continued the tradition by visiting her own grave. What do you call this? An abstract artist.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

When Safir found Wendy, the drunkard was sitting in the palm of the statue of the god of wind, enjoying the gentle breeze and looking very comfortable.

Seeing Safir coming over, Wendy waved: "Hey, Boss Phil! Over here!"

This name was also learned from Zhongli. When these two people stay together for a long time, one of them will always lead the other astray. More often than not, they lead each other astray, which is really unbearable to watch.

Safir leaped up and landed next to Wendy, then held down the opponent's dog head.

Feeling the murderous intent coming from Saphir, Wendy felt uneasy: "Wait, wait! What's going on? I didn't provoke you, did I?"

“It was you who asked Dvorak to go to Liyue, right?” Saphir asked coldly without letting go.

Wendy blinked, a little confused: "Dvorak? Who?"

Saphir increased the strength in his hands, and Wendy's calculation speed immediately increased by two orders of magnitude: "I remember it, I remember it! It's that...that Fontaine man, right? He shouldn't have any impact on Liyue, right?"

"No, but did you know that he went to find me?" Saphir let go of Wendy. Now it seemed that Wendy really didn't know anything and only knew a little bit.

Wendy twisted his neck. Just now, Saphir’s hand was a little too strong, and he felt that his neck was about to break: "Looking for you? That shouldn’t be the case... He should be...

Wait...you mean, he's looking for the end?"

Safir nodded, told Wendy the whole story, and then stopped talking, just looked at him coldly.

Wendy frowned and analyzed by counting on his fingers: "That is to say... his ancestor was saved by Guizhong and left behind a legend. Now he returned to Liyue to look for his benefactor and ran into you.

And you grew up in Fontaine, he had seen you and knew you... This led to...hiss...

woc? How about...you...bring him to your own grave?"

"go to hell!"
