Original God's Dark Priest

“…Vashie…” Ying and little Paimeng were originally watching a young couple praying for the birth of a child at Lujing Spring.

Just when everything was peaceful, a strange female voice suddenly sounded in Ying's heart. The voice was very unfamiliar and was something Ying had never heard before.

This made her exclaim in surprise, and her exclamation scared little Paimeng: "What's wrong? Ying..."

Just as Ying was about to speak, the voice rang out again: "Washie...Washie..."

Now Ying was sure that she was not hallucinating, the voice was real.

She immediately looked at little Paimon, wondering if the little guy was scaring her: "Did you just... talk to me?"

"No, did you hear anything just now?" Little Paimeng was a little confused. She didn't hear anything just now and didn't understand why Ying was so startled.

At this moment, Linnet appeared and explained softly, "This fountain is called the Fountain of Dew. It is the place where all the waters of Fontaine meet. It is customary for newlyweds in Fontaine to come here to pray for children."

"Hey! Linnet! You scared me. When did you appear..." Linnet was a cat after all, and she walked silently, which unsurprisingly scared little Paimon.

Linnet tilted her head: "My brother told me to wait for you at the Fountain Square, don't you remember?"

Little Paimon choked. She had indeed forgotten: "Uh... I remember... "

Ying ignored all this and told what had just happened: "By the way, Linnette, I seemed to hear someone talking vaguely..."

Linnet didn't quite understand what Ying meant. After thinking for a while, she said, "There are indeed quite a few people here. What do you mean?"

"The sound of talking...but it seems to be coming from the spring." Ying looked at Lu Jingquan affirmatively. She was sure that the voice was coming from there.

This frightened little Paimeng again: "Eh? You, don't scare me, Ying, how could such a weird thing happen in broad daylight..."

"Is that so... I do have some information I can share with you, which may answer your questions." Linnet knew Ying quite well. Similar things had happened in Xumi before. "That might not be hallucination, but it's because you have an overly strong sense of the water element...

We have also had people with similar situations as you."

"The perception of water element?" Paimon scratched his head. "Ying heard the sound of people talking. What does it have to do with elemental power?"

In response, Linnett did not give a direct answer, but asked a question: "When do you shed tears?"

"Ah...ah? Why are you suddenly asking such a question?" Little Paimeng felt that the topic suddenly became heavy.

Linnet didn't explain, but urged, "Just answer me."

Paimon thought about it seriously for a moment before answering, "When I'm particularly sad? Hmm... I think it happens when I'm particularly happy, or when I'm particularly scared?"

This answer was enough, Linnet nodded: "Then you should understand, tears... contain your strongest emotions, my sister said that tears are the crystallization of emotions, I think so too.

I just said that the Fountain of Dew is the confluence of all the waters in Fontaine, and the tears dripping on the earth will eventually converge here. "

At this point, Linnett came to her conclusion: "Perhaps the sound you heard came from the strong emotions in someone's tears."

“There is such a saying…” Ying felt that Fontaine was indeed a very magical country.

Little Paimon became curious: "So, what did you hear that person say?"

"It sounds like calling someone's name." Ying didn't think the two words could mean anything else, and only as a name could they be combined together without any sense of incongruity.

After hearing this, Xiao Paimeng felt a little sad: "Well... if that's really the case, what on earth did that person go through..."

Linnet was no longer surprised by this. Although it sounded mysterious, people's emotions actually had a shelf life.

No matter how intense the emotions are, they will gradually fade away after a few days. Unless they are truly unforgettable and cannot be erased, people will not even be able to empathize with themselves when they are hysterical.

After all, humans are such irrational emotional animals. Maybe the owner who showed such strong emotions is now waiting peacefully for a cup of coffee she just ordered, or going to the newspaper office to buy a Steambird newspaper.

"Instead of worrying about that person, why not worry about my brother first?" Linnette knew that compared to the others, Linny was the one who was in a panic. "Although he always appears to be calm, he is actually very nervous before a performance. Chatting with you may make him relax."

"That's true! Let's hurry up and meet Linnie!" Little Paimon quickly put the matter behind him and no longer cared about it.

As Linnet said, instead of caring about strangers, we should pay more attention to our friends, which is what we should do.

The three of them walked towards the Oprykle Opera House to find Linney.

Next to the stage of the opera house, Funina had already arrived at her seat. She put down the cat basket, bent down and patted her exclusive seat, with her hands on her hips: "Well! When Ying comes over later, I'll sit here! Let her see my handsome side."

Saphir poked his head out of the basket, his heterochromatic cat eyes revealing undisguised contempt. The aura of a god is natural, he doesn't even need to pose. Just by standing there he is so dazzling that people can't look directly at him.

This is the presence of God that cannot be ignored.

Look at this guy again, he is just like a child who longs for praise from his parents.

Thinking this, she jumped out of the basket and simply sat cross-legged on Funina's seat, casually and lazily.

Seeing this, Funina was not annoyed, but instead held the guardrail beside her and looked towards the entrance. When the performance was about to begin, the audience would enter from there. She had to adjust her posture the moment Ying appeared to show the majesty of the water god.

Soon, the audience began to arrive. With Linny's arrangement, Ying got the best viewing seat, which was in the first row, from which she could see everything happening on the stage.

I have to say that Linni really cares about his friend Ying.

Noticing this, Saphir nodded slightly. She felt that even without her, Linni and Ying could definitely become good friends.

Thinking of this, she moved her body slightly and lay on Funina's thighs. Funina changed her sitting position, put her right leg on her left leg, and crossed her legs. Saphir was placed between her legs, where she could also watch the performance well.

Saphir looked back, then the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. Funina was already supporting her chin with one hand, looking majestic.

"Are we starting to act now? Ying hasn't noticed this guy yet, right? Doesn't that mean we have to maintain this attitude for a long time? What if Ying doesn't notice it at all?" Such thoughts kept arising in Saphir's mind.

At the same time, Funina's voice began to echo in her mind: "Hmm... my hands are so sore... Hasn't Ying seen me yet? How long should I keep this look? What should I do if I regret it a little?

Hold on, hold on, Funina, the dignity established by Hailu Port must not collapse here!

Ouch! Miss Louise's hair rubbed against my legs. It's a bit itchy. I want to scratch it. What should I do? Restrain myself. I have to restrain myself. I don't want to think about this. I just need to distract myself..."

Safir was about to hold his forehead with his hand. What a mess! Wasn't this just asking for trouble?

Despite this, she was very considerate and climbed up, leaning on Furninna's belly, so that Maomao would not brush the guy's bare legs.

Finina immediately stretched out her right hand to grab Saphir's body, fixed her on her belly, and changed her legs to a crossed position. It seemed that she was very satisfied with Miss Louise's unintentional action.

"Hmm? So Ying's position is next to Villette? What do they talk about when they meet? I really want to listen!" Funina's voice began to sound in Saphir's mind again.

Saphir also immediately noticed the person sitting next to Ying, it was indeed Villette.

The first meeting between these two people happened under such circumstances. Safire was a little surprised. She thought it would be in a more serious occasion.

But this seemed like a good idea, so she immediately concentrated and planned to listen to what the two of them were talking about.

Her five senses were sharp, so this distance was not a problem for her. As long as she listened carefully, she could still hear clearly.

However, Ying and Navilette were both silent and didn't speak, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Little Paimon would glance at Navillatte next to her from time to time, her bright eyes moving around, and it was obvious that she was a little embarrassed. As for Navillatte, he looked straight ahead and no one knew what he was thinking.

This suffocating embarrassment made Saphir unable to help but curl his toes. Of course, the consequence was...

"Hiss! Miss Louise, you scratched me!" Finina grappled and whispered.

Safir woke up instantly and relaxed immediately. Someone's aggrieved voice echoed in his mind: "Wow, it hurts, I'm bleeding, I must be bleeding..."

"Uh..." Safir thought it might not be necessary, but he still quietly patted the bell on his neck.

This bell was put on her by Funina, probably because she thought that a cat should have a bell on its neck to look like a normal cat. Although Saphir didn't really want to wear it, it had to be said that it made it convenient for her.

Because she can turn Veronica into a bell and hang it around her neck without any sense of incongruity.

Veronica understood, and the healing prayer quietly fell on Fernina, who looked aggrieved, and relieved her pain.

The embarrassment below continues.

Finally, little Paimeng, who couldn't stand the loneliness any longer, leaned close to Ying's ear and said, "Hey, Ying...should we talk to the person next to us? It's awkward to sit next to each other when there aren't many people around..."

"That makes sense, Paimeng, it's up to you!" Ying made the decision directly and threw the task to little Paimeng.

Little Paimon's eyes widened: "You! I knew you were this guy..."

The two people's low chirping naturally could not escape Villette's ears. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Although he was not particularly good at talking to people, he felt that if he didn't say something, he might be amused by these two funny guys.

So he took the initiative to speak: "I'm sorry, I didn't realize the problem with the atmosphere just now, it was my negligence.

If necessary, we can just chat directly, it’s okay.”

"Ah...you, you, did you hear everything? Your ears are so good, I clearly kept my voice so low..." Little Paimeng was so excited that even his voice became a little louder.

Saphir, who was watching all this from a high place, couldn't help but hold his forehead. Villette was not deaf, how could she not hear it? She heard it all.

Only Fernina looked dazed. She didn't know what had happened or why Miss Louise suddenly looked so depressed.

After thinking about it, Funina held Saphir's hand with a little more force, as if it was a comfort.

The conversation over there was still going on. After saying what he said earlier, Paimon realized that he had made a mistake and quickly made amends: "Oh, no, no, it's my fault for being so rude. I was whispering these things in secret... Let's, let's just chat, uh... what should we talk about..."

Ying felt the atmosphere became even more awkward. This little guy was a guide, so was this how he communicated with strangers?

Fortunately, the naturally socially gifted Paimon quickly recovered and started to find a topic to talk about: "Oh, by the way, you came so early too, and you're sitting in the front row, are you a friend of Linnie's like us?"

Her approach was very good. A friend of a friend is a friend. If the other party is really a friend of Linny, he might also be a Fatui. In this way, their relationship with Saphir can be brought up. With an executive as a backer, they can talk about anything in the future and still take the initiative.

Little Paimon was very confident. In her opinion, no one in the Fatui would ignore Saphir's name. So this was the safest way.

However, the man did not give Paimon the answer he expected: "Friend... If Mr. Linnie wishes, I would be happy to be his friend."

This is a polite remark. Although the Fireplace House and the Momang Palace are not enemies, they are definitely not friends either. At most, they have some cooperative relationship.

And it wasn't a collaboration with Linnie. Linnie was just a kid and not qualified to collaborate with him.

Villette's partner was Alechino, who would regularly take in some children eliminated from the Hearth House, arrange new identities for them, and allow them to live in Fontaine.

Moreover, in Villette's opinion, the Hearth House was probably still somewhat hostile to him. After all, after what happened with Saphir, he really didn't have the face to ask for Alechino's forgiveness.

He really, really took advantage of Saphir, using her to make trouble and then completely eliminate the group of people who wanted to deal with him. Although Saphir left and did not really go to jail, Villette knew that this matter was still a hurdle that Arlecino could not overcome.

After hearing this, Paimeng's prepared words were useless and she began to stammer, "Well... that's not the case, oh no... the atmosphere is getting even weirder..." Her little brain was working quickly, "Oh, right, why did I forget to introduce myself...

Hello sir, I am Paimon, this is Ying, we have just arrived at Fontaine."

Ying stood up immediately. This was a courtesy and a sign of respect. When meeting someone for the first time, the first impression was very important.

Villette also stood up and nodded to them: "Hello, it's an honor to meet you. I have heard about your deeds before. According to etiquette, I will also introduce myself. I am..."

Just as he was about to say his name, Lini came over first and said, "Mr. Villette! I am so honored that you have come to watch my performance!"

Linnie looked at Villette with a surprised expression, but the smile in his eyes did not reach his eyes.

Villette could naturally see the slight alienation in Linney's eyes, but he didn't care. Instead, he nodded slightly: "Oh, Mr. Linney, it should be my honor to be able to watch your performance in person."

When the incident happened, Linny was still young and could not understand the reason behind it and the undercurrent of Fontaine. He once stubbornly believed that it was Villette's stubbornness that forced his sister to leave her hometown and flee Fontaine.

When he grew up, he could understand the reasons behind it, but the bad impression left by that year made it impossible for him to pretend that what happened had never happened.

Fortunately, Rosalin taught him how to adapt to the situation early on, and this ability always allows Linnie to handle some difficult things smoothly, such as now.
