Original God's Dark Priest

Silver tried to ease the atmosphere by apologizing, but it was different for Myles. He was an old member of the Rose of Heaven Society and had personally experienced what happened back then. He knew better how much of a blow Cares' death had been to Navia.

It was also clear that Clorinde's appearance in front of Navia had already placed a great burden on Navia, not to mention that she had mentioned Cares in front of Navia.

Everyone has a past that they don't want to be mentioned. For Navia, Cares is the past that she doesn't want to be mentioned, especially by the "murderer" Clorinde.

He took a step forward and stood in front of Navia: "Miss Clorinde, I must thank you for your help, but please be careful about your stance. We all don't like unnecessary emotional harm."

"I'm sorry, I... didn't consider your feelings." Clorinde also realized the inappropriateness of her words, and she apologized directly to Navia.

Hearing Clorinde's apology, Navia took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. She should have known that Clorinde was not good at dealing with emotional matters since she was a child. She was a blockhead back then, and she is still the same now: "Forget it...

What else do you know that makes you think I'm dangerous?"

This is also what Ying found strange. Although Safir asked her to protect Navia, it means that Safir knew in advance that Navia would be in danger.

But why is this?

Her experiences have taught her that there must be a reasonable logic behind all unreasonable things.

It is unreasonable for Saphir to foresee the danger in advance, and it is also unreasonable for her and Navia to be suddenly attacked. So what is the logic behind this incident?

Obviously, they had just decided to start the investigation openly, and the news should not have leaked out yet, but the attack came so suddenly and quickly.

Clorinde shook her head: “I don’t know more than you, but I believe that the mastermind behind the serial disappearance of young girls has a powerful force.

You...will be targeted by them sooner or later..."

"Um...can I interrupt?" Just as they were chatting, the man in traditional Liyue clothing raised his hand, attracting everyone's attention to himself.

Navia then remembered that she was saved by this person just now, and she didn't have the time to thank him because all her attention was focused on Clorinde.

Navia felt ashamed of this, and she quickly said, "I'm sorry, I was so excited that I didn't pay attention to you. May I ask who you are?"

"Ahem, let me introduce myself. My name is Nikolai, Nikolai Xuenetsevich, and this is my sister: Katharina Xuenetsevna." It turned out that the two people who came to support were Nikolai and Katharina, a brother and sister who were arranged by Saphir in Qiaoyingzhuang.

The blue light array was naturally the Holy Blessing Array that Nicholas released through the Holy Blessing Array's protective stone. This was also the protective stone that Saphir had recovered from Teppei on Haizhi Island a long time ago.

Later, she gave the stone to Nicholas to stimulate the holy light effect and make golden tea.

Today, Nicola and Katharina accepted the mission and came to Fontaine to secretly protect Navia and Ying. Saphir had considered early on that Ying was not 100% reliable. After all, she would always fall asleep suddenly for no apparent reason.

If Ying's momentary negligence led to irreversible consequences, Saphir would be upset, so she called the brother and sister over, as a double insurance for Navia's apparent behavior.

After discussing with Navilette, Safire formulated a series of plans to uncover the mastermind, which can be simply summarized as: repairing the plank road in the open while secretly marching through Chencang, making a show of force to scare the tiger, luring someone into a trap, and catching the turtle in the trap.

Navia and Ying were the ones who were working openly, while her subordinates were secretly searching for evidence. She didn't want anything as unreliable as witnesses. Safir had given a death order from the beginning, and he must dig deep to find the base, experimental site, and experimental records of the mastermind behind the scenes.

You have to beat the opponent to death with one blow so that he can never get up again.

After hearing what Nicholas said, Navia and the others showed a look of understanding, but Clorinde's eyebrows twitched violently. She remembered the person she met at the exit of the Gray River before.

The situation happened suddenly at that time and she didn't have time to think about it carefully. Later, she thought about it carefully and realized that she couldn't find anyone in the whole Fontaine who would take action against her for stalking Navia.

After all, Myles and Silver don't have the strength, nor are they so unscrupulous.

But when it comes to a guy who is both capable and likes to make trouble, the only one who meets the requirements is probably the devil from the past.

Clorinde still remembered the emotion that could not be concealed in the other person's eyes when his buttons flew off. That emotion... was jealousy.

"It seems that Safir has come back a long time ago, and I just found out today." Clorinde has understood everything. The appearance of Nicholas and Katharina here is the best evidence that Safir arranged people to protect Navia.

She felt that her action this time was a bit unnecessary.

Nicholas smiled at Clorinde and said, "Don't worry about it, Miss Clorinde. Your action saved us a lot of effort. My sister was still hesitant at first. After all, she is a firefly sorcerer. Once she takes action, the news that the Fatui are involved will definitely be known to the other party.

And now, we can still hide behind the scenes. You have helped us a lot. Well, we have said everything we need to say. We are leaving first. "After that, Nicholas and Katarina left directly.

"Really... then, goodbye." Clorinde nodded slightly.

Navia put her hands on her hips: "Huh, that guy actually looked down on me! Really..."

"Miss...if it weren't for Mr. Nicholas' help...we would have been..." Miles reminded.

Navia's face froze. Miles was right. If it weren't for Nicholas's intervention, she would probably be dead by now.

Navia coughed dryly and changed the subject: "Then, the next question is why those people launched the attack so suddenly..."

In response, Clorinde raised her eyes slightly: "Didn't you read today's newspaper?"

"What newspaper?" Navia blinked. She indeed hadn't read it. Last night, she heard that the action was about to begin. She was so excited that she didn't sleep well all night and almost couldn't get up in the morning. How could she have time to read the newspaper?

Clorinde knew that this guy was completely kept in the dark when she heard this, so she shook her head and said, "Go find a copy of the Steam Bird newspaper when you have time. You will understand after reading it."

"Okay, what about these security agencies? I used to think that only people from the Law Enforcement Court could control them." Navia asked again. This was what she was most concerned about.

The guard agency is defined as a weapon in Fontainebleau, and only the Court of Law can use it. It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to possess such a thing, but now she was attacked by the guard agency, and the Court of Law is highly suspected.

Clorinde shook her head: "I have checked, these guard agencies have no number, they are not the law enforcement agencies used by the Law Enforcement Court.

It must have been obtained by some wealthy or powerful people through illegal means and stored for personal firepower."

In other words, this matter now involves another crime: arms smuggling.

"Well, anyway, it's probably a force that the current Thorn Rose Society cannot defeat, right?" Navia already had an expectation in her mind. Ever since Saphir seriously told her to stop investigating the Cares case, Navia knew that the other party was not someone she could confront head-on.

Although Saphir said so at the time, Navia was unwilling to give up. If the construction of the new orbital patrol ship route had not consumed most of her energy, Navia would not have started the investigation until now.

Now she has started to investigate, but she encountered this kind of thing right at the beginning, which made her feel a little scared. Fortunately, Saphir has freed up his hands, otherwise she would not know how she died.

Clorinde nodded solemnly: "Well, please be careful and don't act rashly..."

After thinking for a moment, she added: "If necessary, I can find someone to join your operation and provide some protection."

But Navia shook her head: "That's not necessary. With official people here, the other party may not take action. That may lead to the failure of the operation."

Clorinde wanted to say that after this attack, the other party would not attack again in a short time, but when she thought of this, she found that it was unnecessary to send someone to protect Navia now, so she said no more and just nodded.

"No matter what, the investigation will continue. Only when the truth comes out can it be my father's real 'last wish'." Navia lowered her eyes. Regardless of whether she was the boss of the Thorn Rose Society or the daughter of Cares, she would do her best and use any means to clear Cares of his grievances.

This has become her obsession: "Anyway, thank you for today, Clorinde, but if you have any ideas next time, please let me know first. I don't like being followed."

She was still upset about Clorinde following her, but she didn't know that Clorinde had been beaten for this a long time ago, but she didn't change, and Clorinde wouldn't tell anyone.

Although Clorinde felt that she had done nothing wrong, it was still embarrassing to be told so bluntly and rejected, so she decided to run away: "I believe that they will not continue to attack in a short period of time. I will not follow you anymore. Goodbye, everyone."

After she finished speaking, she left quickly without waiting for anyone else to speak. Although her steps seemed unhurried, the speed at which she moved was enough to say that she was fleeing in panic.

Looking at Clorinde's departing back, Navia let out a long sigh: "Oh... okay, okay, that's really the best news today..."

"Miss, I think Miss Clorinde is sincere, and perhaps we can ease the relationship with her appropriately..." After all, Myles is an old man who has witnessed the friendship between Navia and Clorinde, and he is unwilling to watch the two continue in a cold war.

Navia shook her head helplessly: "I know it in my heart, but there is nothing I can do. After all, she is..."

The Cares case has always been like a huge rock weighing on Navia's heart. Until her father is completely vindicated, Navia will not let go of anyone or anything related to the case.

Relaxation is indeed possible, but that must come later. The most important thing now is my father's innocence.

Navia knew very well that this was a spur to herself.

At this time, Ying came over with a newspaper from somewhere: "Navia, look at this."

Navia leaned over to take a closer look and read out what Ying showed her: "The current leader of the Thorn Rose Society... Navia... announced that she would start investigating the case of Carles... She was determined to find out the truth and give justice to her father...

No problem, what's wrong?"

Ying looked up at Navia, who had a clear and foolish face. "The content is indeed fine, but... this is today's newspaper. You taste it, you taste it carefully."

"..." Navia thought about it carefully, and her smile froze on her face, "That guy really doesn't treat us as human beings?"

"That guy has always been like this, hasn't he? I have a feeling this is just the appetizer, and I promise you, we are definitely not the worst off." Ying said seriously.

This is already a cliché. Ying has been working with Safir for so long that she has a deep understanding of Safir's style.

When Safir was in action, she had a habit that she herself didn't even notice, which was that when she was tricking someone, the first one to be tricked was often the lightest, and the later someone was assigned to a position, the worse the trick would be.

This is true for Tartaglia in Operation Liyue and for Sora in Operation Mondstadt.

Safir's harm always comes unexpectedly and is profound. Ying now feels like she has survived a calamity, because Safir usually only harms one person at a time in an operation. In other words, her and Navia's drama is over, and now it's time to watch the show.

And for some reason, Ying always felt that this time Saphir would not let that bad guy Tartaglia go.

Navia looked at Ying's relieved expression and suddenly felt that this girl had a hard time too. After realizing that she had been cheated, her first reaction was not anger but relief. It was hard not to wonder what she had been through.

Fortunately, Navia was also an old acquaintance of Saphir, and she still had some trust in her. She did not doubt Saphir's intentions, but she did not quite understand: "What is the purpose of this notice? I am a little confused."

Ying thought carefully for a few seconds, then said: "To shock the enemy, to expand the influence through this incident, to force the enemy to take action. If they don't take action, they won't show any flaws. Once they take action, they will definitely show their true colors...

Safire must have prepared multiple plans. I even suspect that the real culprit behind this case will never be found out..."

"Why do you say that? Don't you trust her abilities?" Navia was a little confused.

Ying shook her head and sneered: "The guy who tried to attack the servant...According to Saphir's temperament..."

"She plans to kill the other party directly?" Navia thought of the bloody case many years ago. At that time, Safir directly slaughtered two families. What about this time?

Today, Ying and Navia gained a lot. Of course, more of it was to sort out the current situation. After all, the information they had was very limited.

At night, in the Momang Palace, Villette once again waited for the belated Safir: "You are a few minutes later than the scheduled time today, Ms. Safir."

"I'm sorry, the child at home has been in a bad mood recently, and it takes time to coax her to sleep. Well, let's get straight to the point!" Safier waved his hand and said perfunctorily.

Villette and Saphir immediately became serious...
