Original God's Dark Priest

The next day, Saphir was awakened by Ying.

When she opened her eyes and saw the little round face so close to her, she reached out her hand out of habit, touched it, and then grabbed it.

Ying felt the pain and quickly slapped away Safir's dirty hands, covering her cheek and cursing, "You act like a hooligan as soon as you open your eyes. Do you have any sense of propriety?"

"Ah... sorry, I'm used to it." Saphir blinked and woke up completely. She sat up from the bed, her long black hair hanging down and scattered on the bed, messy and looking a little lazy.

Little Paimon flew in from outside. When he saw Saphir wake up, his eyes immediately lit up and he came over: "Happy Lantern Festival! Send out red envelopes quickly!"

Every year on the Lantern Festival, Safir would give red envelopes to his subordinates and children. Little Paimon was one of the children, so naturally he could receive a red envelope.

Saphir laughed dumbly, lifted the blanket covering his belly, and stood on the floor barefoot: "You have to wait a while if you want a red envelope. It doesn't make sense for me to give you a red envelope like this, right?"

She was still wearing her baggy pajamas. After wearing them all night, her clothes were in a tangle and not at all decent.

Little Paimon also realized this and nodded immediately: "Then I'll wait for you outside."

After saying that, she quickly slipped away and left the room.

Ying also wanted to run away, but was caught by Saphir. She turned back in a daze, but met the other's black eyes: "Why are you running? Help me change clothes."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door slammed shut.

Then Ying shouted from the room: "You! Why are you closing the door when you can just change clothes?"

It is necessary to ask Ying to help change clothes. Safir's clothes this year are a bit complicated to put on. It will probably take a long time for one person to fiddle with them. There are also many buttons on the back, and it is too troublesome to button them by oneself. So if Ying can help, it can save a lot of trouble.

After a while, the two left the room together. Ying's face was full of happy smiles. She was the first one to receive the red envelope. According to Liyue, the first person to receive the red envelope will get the biggest blessing.

Ying felt that she had received the most blessings from Saphir.

Next came the children's team led by Paimon.

Keli, Yaoyao, Qiqi, and Shen He who was holding Jiangli were all there.

Safir gave them red envelopes one by one, without missing a single one, and received a lot of "Thank you, Sister Safir~" in gratitude.

These little guys were just following Klee's lead and shouting, not paying attention at all.

But it doesn’t matter. It’s the Lantern Festival, so just have fun.

Thinking of this, Saphir came to the cafeteria to eat and gave Noelle a red envelope, which made the little maid a little flattered.

"Thank you for your hard work for Hu Li over the past year." Saphir touched Noel's head and said with a smile.

Noelle's face flushed, and she said a little embarrassedly: "It's my duty. This is what I should do."

The festive atmosphere in the Chen Ge Pot is not particularly strong. After all, the Sea Lantern Festival is only a Liyue festival, and other countries do not have the custom of celebrating the Sea Lantern Festival.

So she didn't feel it when she was in the pot, but when Saphir left the Chen Ge Pot and stepped into the Yanshang Teahouse, the strong festive atmosphere immediately enveloped her.

Today, Nadia got up early and replaced the music playing in the Yanshang Teahouse with the limited edition of the Sea Lantern Festival. This Xuanyao music was specially made, and the music included in it was called "Gathering of Lights and Stars".

People from other countries may not quite understand why Safire chose this music as the special music for the Sea Lantern Festival.

But when the people of Liyue heard this melody, they felt the strong festive atmosphere.

I can only say that Saphir really understands Liyue.

Nadia has been in Liyue for a long time and has developed a certain sense of belonging to this music and Liyue.

It just so happened that Vlad also worked in Liyue, and the two of them were already discussing buying an apartment here and settling down there.

I could also get married at the same time, which was a good idea, but I didn't dare mention it to Safire.

"Lord Safir, Happy Lantern Festival!" Nadia spoke first when she saw Safir coming down from upstairs.

Chu Yi on the side also greeted him, and all the other tea room employees bowed respectfully.

Saphir smiled and nodded to them one by one, then distributed red envelopes. Different from the red envelopes given to Keli and the others, these were red envelopes given to employees for the start of work. The meaning was different, but the amount was the same, all 880,000 Mora, not much, but with good meaning.

After handing out the red envelopes, Saphir turned to Nadia: "How are the preparations for setting up the stall going? Are there any other problems?"

"It's all done." Nadia replied immediately, "I sent someone to invite Ji Fang, the boss of Wanwen Collection, this morning. She should be here soon."

Saphir nodded when she heard this. Compared to the first time they took part in the stall activity, her subordinates can now handle it with ease.

She still remembers the first year. Because it was a short notice and no preparation was made, she was so busy on the morning of the Lantern Festival that she was in chaos and couldn't even find stools to set up the stall.

Thinking of the past, Saphir couldn't help but chuckle. Others only thought that she was happy because of the Lantern Festival, but they didn't know that she was happy because the people under her had grown up and could stand on their own.

Lyudashka came in from outside holding a string of candied haws, and Katharina followed her to grab it. The two of them refused to give in and almost bumped into the counter.

Ada, who had just returned to the Rock Teahouse from the Moonlight Tavern, immediately frowned and was about to scold him, but Saphir stopped her with his hand: "It's a big holiday, forget it."

"Yes." Ada nodded and stopped talking.

Liudashka finally noticed Safir who had been staring at her. Her eyes lit up and she jumped over: "Safir Safir!"

I don't know who did her hair, but they tied it into a bun, which is a bit similar to Yaoyao's hairstyle. At first glance, it looks quite cute.

Saphir looked at her lovingly: "What's wrong? Do you want a red envelope?"

Liudashka shook her head: "No, no!"

She was responsible for the construction of the patrol ship route from Fontaine to Liyue. This was a lucrative job, so Ningguang specially allocated a large sum of money and made it clear that the rest would be left to Saphir to handle. Saphir accepted the kindness and told Liu Dashika about it.

So Liudashka has a lot of money on hand now, and he even gave Alechino a sum of money to build a hearth house a while ago, of course, in the name of Saphir.

So this little red envelope money is not important to Liudashka.

Liudashka doesn't want a red envelope. Having money is one factor, but the most important thing is how she positions herself. She thinks she is a good sister of Saphir, and it doesn't make sense for peers to give red envelopes, so she can't accept this red envelope.

"I brought you a gift! Take a look." As he said this, Lyudashka took out an envelope and handed it to Safir.

Saphir opened the envelope with curiosity and took a look, then closed it immediately: "Where did you get it?"

"I bumped into it by accident. How about it? Isn't it interesting?" Lyudashka smiled brightly.

Saphir also laughed: "If she knew, she would hide in the quilt and cry for a long time."

"Just don't let her know!" Liudashka thought it was no big deal.

What she gave to Saphir was nothing else but the photo of Funina being chased and beaten after she failed in her challenge to the distant sea alien. If it was before, Saphir would be surprised to see this photo.

But now, she already knew that Finina was not the water god. She just didn't expect that this girl would be so weak that she couldn't even beat a crab. It was really speechless.

Looking at Liudashka's innocent expression and clear eyes that seemed to show no scheming, Safir felt that this man's eyes could indeed be deceiving.

Lyudashka's clear eyes actually hide such deep scheming. How can she be giving a gift?

This is a way of hinting to Saphir that Funina has no power! To put it in a bigger way, this is revealing the secret of the water god. Little girl, you are really brave.

He went to the Abyss Palace to steal Oropas' egg, and went to Fontaine to uncover the secret of the water god.

Saphir secretly sighed in his heart, this girl must have some special physique, right? She can always do something amazing.

Thinking of this, she reached out and gently pinched Lyudashika's cheek: "I understand, but don't do anything risky in the future. I know you want to help me, but your own safety is the most important, understand?"

"Okay, okay, I got it!" Liudashka held Saphir's hand that was pinching her face, moved closer and rubbed it on his face, "Let's go set up the stall! Mona is already waiting at the Moonlight Tavern."

"Let's go!" Safir readily agreed and led a group of people to the stall location.

On the way, Mona found her and said, "Saffir, I'm going back to Fontaine soon. Do you want to go with me?"

"When?" Saphir was somewhat tempted. If he went with Mona, he could meet Astermanser Barberos Trismegistus.

Thinking of this name, Safir couldn't help but hold his forehead. He thought Mona's name was shameless enough, but Barbiros's shamelessness was even higher.

Megistus already means the greatest, but if you add "Trismegistus" in front of it, it becomes Trismegistus, which means three times great.

It's really outrageous that this old witch even wants to take advantage of her own apprentice.

Mona didn't know that Saphir was slandering her and her master's names. After a little thought, she replied, "The Lantern Festival is over. I'm going to Jingfu Port and then to Fontaine."

Mona's schedule conflicted with Saphir's, which made her a little regretful, so she shrugged and said, "What a coincidence! After the Lantern Festival, I have to go to Xumi and then to Fontaine."

"Is that so? Then it seems we can't go together." Mona nodded slightly. After all, Saphir must have something to do in Xumi, and Mona is going to Jingfu Port to visit her parents, which won't take long.

So the time didn't match, so I had to give up.

Mona was not disappointed despite the regrettable result, after all, it was just a casual invitation.

After a while, a group of people arrived at the stall.

Next to the Moonlight Tavern is the stall of Wanmin Hall. As usual, the two companies always merge their stalls for marketing, and this year is no exception.

Seeing that Master Mao had arrived early and was busy, Safir took the initiative to greet him: "Happy Lantern Festival, Master Mao, you are busy so early!"

"Hey, Boss Safir, Happy Lantern Festival! Hahaha, isn't it a rare festival, so of course we have to prepare well. I'll take care of the drinks this year!" Master Mao laughed and was very enthusiastic.

Because of the cooperation with Moonlight Tavern, Master Mao did not prepare any drinks at his stall. He just used the drinks from the Moonlight Tavern stall.

Safir was also laughing: "Oh, help each other, I'm the one who should benefit from it!"

Her stall does not prepare dishes, only some side dishes, which are taken from the store. The main attraction of this stall is still Mona's divination. Mona has also learned a lot during this period. She knows that she should say nice things during the big festivals, so basically she just needs to coax her a little.

If you really find any problems, it's okay to tell the other party if there are any taboos in the near future.

In a peaceful atmosphere, the first and longest activity of the first day of the Sea Lantern Festival: setting up stalls, officially began.

As for the stall matters, Safir only needed to give some instructions, and the other matters were left to Nadia and Sosia. It was not their first time to set up stalls, so they were very familiar with it, which gave Safir enough freedom to act.

After arranging the stall, Safir disappeared in a flash. She wanted to go play with Zhongli. The old man had been avoiding her for a while and was secretly preparing for the show.

Having not seen him for several days, Safir naturally missed Lao Deng a little, so he headed to the Hall of Rebirth.

As expected, Zhongli was writing something in the Hall of Rebirth. Seeing this, Saphir tiptoed over and after taking a closer look, he discovered that it was a recipe.

"Slowly simmering pickled pork with preserved vegetables? Have you also learned from Xianyun to use cooking to cultivate your mood?" Safire chuckled and teased.

Zhongli had already noticed her arrival and raised his lips slightly: "Why? Boss Phil, do you want to eat?"

"It's not like I haven't eaten it before." She had eaten it countless times, and she didn't know why Zhongli wrote down this recipe this time.

Zhongli nodded. This dish has always been his specialty and he had demonstrated his cooking skills more than once before. Unfortunately, it was always the same dish over and over again. No matter how delicious a dish is, you will get tired of it if you eat it too much.

"It's just... this dish can't be cooked yet, because there's still a raw material missing. I asked Ying to go get some, but there's been no response so far." Zhongli had a complicated expression. He entrusted Ying to dig some sprouting bamboo shoots, but after the two clowns ran out, there was no response, so he has been waiting until today without any result.

Saphir was amused when he heard this. He expected those two funny guys to be more reliable? When did Zhongli become so naive?

Putting away the recipe in his hand casually, Zhongli pulled Saphir out of the Hall of Rebirth. Today was the Lantern Festival and they couldn't stay here all day, that would be too boring. So they decided to go out for a walk and relax.

The main purpose was to relax Saphir, as Zhongli himself was already relaxed enough. Happy times always passed quickly, and before he knew it, the sun was setting in the west, and it was evening, and it was time to wait for the concert to start.

After a bustling day, Liyue Harbor fell into a brief silence, and everyone began to look forward to tonight's performance.

With the success of the Lantern Festival Gala the year before, people are optimistic about this year's concert.

Soon, it was time for the show to start. Dvorak stood on the stage early and gave an opening speech to the audience.

As his speech ended, Hu Tao's team finally arrived on the field. Seeing Hu Tao and the others appear, Dvorak smiled and said loudly: "Next, please enjoy the work "Only I Am The Only One" performed by the band formed by Miss Xin Yan."
