Original God's Dark Priest

Chen Ge Hu and Ying lay in bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

It has been many days since she and little Paimon slept together, and she was very uncomfortable with the feeling of having no one around her.

Although she knew where Safir was, she still felt lonely. After all, she was used to being used as a pillow at night. Now that she suddenly didn't need him anymore, she felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

She gradually fell asleep in a daze, but Ada and her gang were destined to have a sleepless night.

The Hearth House was completely mobilized, and people scattered throughout the Fontaine society began to take action, with the Thorn Rose Society as the center, and began to investigate everyone who had contact with Cares.

The person in charge secretly was Ada, but the investigator in public was Navia. Yes, after receiving instructions from Saphir, Liudashka passed the message to Navia.

After receiving the exact news from Lyudashka, Navia was overjoyed: "Is it finally going to start? I've been waiting for too long!"

"We will act in secret, Navia. What you have to do is to attract the other party's attention in public. Saphir said that as long as you start the investigation, you will definitely attract the other party's attention, and then, the other party will keep an eye on you." Liudashka explained the precautions to Navia with a serious expression.

Navia nodded seriously: "I understand what you mean. After Saphir's reminder last time, I almost understand. I must have been living under the surveillance of the other party all these years, so once I show any unusual movements, I will definitely be in danger."

"That's right, you must protect yourself. If you die because of this, then everything will be meaningless." Liudashka and Navia have become very close because of their cooperation, and she doesn't want Navia to fall into danger.

Navia smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I'm not that fragile. Besides, with Myles and Silver protecting me, there will be no problem."

"But, the three of you are all from Fontaine, right?" Liudashka looked at Navia, who was smiling, and pointed out the problem. "When facing the water of the original fetal sea, the three of you will have no resistance at all. Therefore, we think that you still need a reliable bodyguard."

After hearing what Liudashka said, Navia raised her eyebrows slightly: "Although I am very unhappy that you treat me like a child, but... I think you have found the right person, right?"

"Don't worry, he's not a strange guy. You must want to meet that person too." Lyudashka chuckled. "Although the traveler and her guide are still in the dark, I think if you want to get in touch with them, you can definitely become good friends with them."

"So it's them..." Navia suddenly realized that these two people were indeed very good candidates. On the one hand, they had no direct connection with the Hearth House. On the other hand, they were outsiders and there was no possibility that they would be listed as Fontaine's helpers.

Ying herself is also very strong and is not from Fontaine, so she can protect Navia very well.

"The traveler will show up at the Debo Hotel tomorrow morning, Navia. Then it will be up to you to perform." Lyudashka said the last thing she wanted to say.

Navia nodded vigorously: "Okay, I understand."

Early the next morning, Ying woke up from her sleep in a daze, and looked at the empty bed beside her with a sense of loss. Saphir always got up later than her, and she didn't see him today, which meant that he didn't come back yesterday either.

With a sigh, Ying patted her cheeks and jumped out of bed, washed up, and changed her clothes.

Just as she was about to go out, a note on the bedside table caught her attention.

Ying clearly remembered that there was no note here originally. Its appearance now could only mean that this was a message left for her by Saphir.

Ying immediately ran over, picked up the note and saw that it was indeed Safire's handwriting.

It said: "I have a commission for you. Starting this morning, you will protect a blonde sister. Her name is Navia, the leader of the Thorn Rose Society. I will be working on other things during this period. Her safety is temporarily in your hands."

"Navia... is the name of the route!" Little Paimon also saw the content of the note, "So the route is named after this person, he seems to be a very remarkable person."

Ying thought so too: "Sapphire hopes that I can protect Navia and Paimon. I feel that this will be related to what she is doing."

"It's not ruled out that Navia sought asylum on her own initiative? In any case, let's go and take a look first!" Little Paimon was full of energy, and the two of them ran to the Debo Hotel without even eating.

There was no way. Fontaine was calm at the moment and there were no emergencies for the time being. As for Linny who was imprisoned, although Ying wanted to help him, Linnet told them that they didn't need to worry about Linny for the time being.

So Ying is now free and is in the stage of waiting for the follow-up. Navia's matter can be said to have come at the right time and found something for Ying to do.

Soon, they met Navia at the entrance of the Debo Hotel.

Navia with her long golden hair is like the brightest star in the night sky. She will always attract everyone's attention, and Ying and Paimon are no exception.

"Look! There's a beautiful big sister over there. That should be Navia, right?" Little Paimeng saw the bright yellow from afar and immediately pulled Ying to ask.

Ying looked in the direction that Xiao Paimon pointed and said, "The blonde lady should be right. Let's go and ask her."

The appearance of Ying and Paimon also attracted Navia's attention. A blond traveler with a white friend, there might not be another one with this feature in the whole of Teyvat, so Navia directly confirmed the identities of the two.

She immediately waved at the two of them: "Hey! You! Over here!"

The three of them reunited, and little Paimon confirmed: "Are you Navia?"

"Yes, it's me! You must be the travelers Ying and Paimon, right? Nice to meet you." Navia said in a familiar manner, "Did the person who commissioned you to come tell you what to do?"

"The letter of authorization only said that I would protect you, but didn't mention anything specific." Ying said honestly. The handwritten letter left by Saphir should be considered a letter of authorization, right? Ying thought so.

Navia chuckled when she heard this: "Is that so? It's okay. I'll talk to you about the details later. By the way, have you had breakfast?"

"No, we rushed here as soon as we received the commission." Little Paimeng rubbed his belly. Because there was no trip booked today, the two of them got up late.

It was already late when they saw the letter left by Safir. They didn't want to keep each other waiting too long, so they didn't have time to eat.

"Then let's go eat first. Let's just consider it as a treat for our friendship. This meal is on me. We can talk about other things while we eat." Navia smiled and turned around to lead the way.

Ying and little Paimon followed her closely and walked into the Debo Hotel.

"I came to this restaurant several times with my father when I was a child, but I seldom come here after I grew up. I wonder if the food will suit your taste." Navia hasn't been to the Debo Hotel for a long time.

In the past, she couldn't afford such luxury because of financial constraints. Later, she had to travel to Roudeng Port. Now that she has money, she doesn't have much free time. So until now, she has not come here to reminisce about her childhood.

Little Paimon immediately waved his hand: "It's okay! We are not picky eaters, we can eat anything!"

She was not a picky eater, and Ying didn't have any dietary restrictions either, so the two of them were indeed not picky about food.

Navia felt relieved when she heard that. She had been worried that if it was Safir's friend, he might be as picky about food as she was. After all, Safir's picky eating problem was very serious, and Navia was well aware of that.

Now that Ying and Xiao Paimeng have both expressed that they are not picky, she can order whatever she wants: "Then I'll go order the food first, you guys wait a moment."

Soon, the three of them sat down at a round table, which was filled with a variety of dishes.

"Wow, these look delicious. People in Fontaine really know how to enjoy themselves." Paimon's eyes lit up, and he thought these dishes looked delicious.

Navia laughed and said, "Well, try it. If it tastes good, I'll ask the brothers from the Thorn Rose Club to book the place next time."

"What if it doesn't taste good?" Little Paimon was suddenly curious about how Navia would deal with such a situation.

Navia thought about it seriously for a while, then said in a relaxed tone: "Well... then let's ask the brothers from the Thorn Rose Society to book the place, but each table can only order one dish."

"Let them eat slowly, preferably for a whole day." Ying had a wicked smile on her face and hit it off with Navia.

Little Paimon was shocked: "You...you...why are you so mean? But I have to admit that this is a good idea."

Ying shrugged. "Actually, if you think about it carefully, this is easy to understand. Isn't the way to make a bad restaurant fail to survive to keep them full of customers but unable to make money? This is easy to understand."

But Navia shook her head: "Actually, it's not that simple."

"Hmm? Navia, what do you mean?" Ying blinked, not understanding if she had said something wrong.

Navia shook her head pretending to be relaxed, and after thinking for a while, she asked, "How is your relationship with Saphir?"

"Super good!" Little Paimon said first.

Navia nodded, and then said: “In fact, this is what Saphir mentioned to my father when I was a child.

She said that people always subconsciously label themselves and reject people who have different labels from themselves. This is human nature.

The Thorn Rose Society is, after all, a grassroots organization. It originated from Baisong Town and the Gray River. You know the Gray River, right? Right below the Fontaine City is the Lower Town. "

"Is it similar to the relationship between Xumi City and the Grand Bazaar..." Ying almost understood. Xumi also had a similar situation. The people of Xumi were divided into sand people and rainforest people, but the rainforest was divided into upper and lower urban areas. This was a natural class.

Wherever there are classes, there are conflicts, and this is also the case in Fontaine.

The people in the Upper Fontaine were unwilling to communicate with the people of Grey River, and the fact that the Thorn Rose Society originated from these two places meant that it was alienated from the so-called upper class.

Looking at Ying's thoughtful look, Navia knew that she understood, so she continued, "If this place is full of our people, or even not full, but only half full, very few people from the upper city will come to eat here. This is exclusion."

After that, she changed the subject and her tone became much more relaxed: "But fortunately, such exclusion has been alleviated a lot in recent years. At least there is no overt discrimination and hostility."

"I feel like similar conflicts exist in every country." Paimon has also traveled to several countries with Ying. She found that similar conflicts exist in Fontaine, Xumi, and even Inazuma.

The difference between Liyue and Mondstadt is not obvious. The reason for Liyue's conflict is that the Geo King is indeed respectful to the wise and there is also a leader like Ningguang who started from humble beginnings. This conflict has probably been resolved.

As for Mond, the Lawrence family is actually the best example, but it was overthrown, so it seems relatively fair now. After all, according to Qin, Falgar is just a leader without any background.

Navia smiled and said, "After all, class exists objectively, but if it is handled properly, it can become a weapon in our hands and turn it into a sharp sword to stab the enemy.

That’s what Saphir did back then, letting the sword called opposition pierce the noble’s chest.”

"Huh? Has she done anything like this before? Tell me in detail!" Little Paimeng became interested.

Navia was slightly stunned. It turned out that the two of them didn't know about the bloody case?

That's right, this is probably a past that Safire doesn't want to mention. Since she didn't mention it, I can't say anything more.

So she waved her hand and said, "Ah, I can't say anything about other people's past. If you have a chance, you should ask her herself."

"Eh - why is this happening?" Little Paimeng was dissatisfied. Her interest was aroused, but she stopped talking halfway. This was very frustrating. Isn't it torture?

Ying looked at Navia's slightly dim eyes and suddenly realized that this was probably not a very good memory, so she pulled Paimon and asked her not to ask any more questions.

"Navia, please tell us everything you can. We are indeed curious about the past." Ying's request was not excessive.

It just so happens that what Navia wants to do is also related to the past. The serial disappearance of young girls is actually related to Safir, after all, he is a victim.

"Well, I'll start with my father..." Navia agreed, and the few of them talked a lot while eating.

As the meal came to an end, Ying and Paimon had fully understood the objectives of their mission this time, combined with what Saphir had said she was going to do.

Ying immediately made clear her goal, which was to cooperate with Navia in a high-profile investigation to lure the mastermind behind the scenes to take action against Navia. What Ying and Paimeng had to do was to protect Navia's safety during this period to prevent any accidents.

After all, they were facing a vicious criminal who had been hiding for more than 20 years and had killed many people. Ying was worried about letting Navia deal with it alone. She already understood why Safir insisted that she follow Navia.

This is really too dangerous.

"By the way, if that's the case, will the mastermind behind the serial disappearances of young girls be caught soon?" Little Paimon never considered Linnie as the murderer from the beginning, so he naturally ruled him out.

Ying started to act: "Little Paimon! Didn't Linny get caught? They say Linny is the murderer, and he's from the Fatui."

"But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't make sense, right? Linnie is not even twenty years old, so how could he be the murderer of a case that happened twenty years ago?" Little Paimon pointed out the biggest problem.

Ying also nodded: "That's the problem of the Fatui. Their purpose could not be..."

"It's the servant..." Navia suddenly said, "The best target to blame, and the one who cares least about his reputation..."

"I seem to understand why Saphir wants to investigate it himself..." Little Paimon glanced at Ying and Navia.

The two also nodded. Everyone has a reverse scale, and so does Saphir. She cares about many people, but the one who can really be considered a reverse scale is perhaps...

"When threatening that person, she would be desperate and would use any means necessary." Ying was already observing a moment of silence for the murderer.
