Original God's Dark Priest

There is a patch on the ceiling that is a different color than the surrounding area.

The surrounding area is made of white stone material, but there is a round hole in the middle which is made of metal material and looks like a lid.

As the two approached, the metal cover suddenly opened, revealing a door that was only wide enough for one person to enter. It turned out to be an automatic door.

Safir and Sandoni looked at each other and went in one after another.

Above the portal is a very small room with a mirror-like portal in it and nothing else.

"It looks like a silent invitation." Sandoni blew a breath and commented while looking at the portal.

Saphir walked forward and gently touched the portal. A circle of ripples spread out. The portal responded to them: "Fortunately, this invitation is not limited to a certain type of people. It welcomes all visitors."

"Maybe, we are that kind of people." Sandone said this and moved closer. She didn't want to be left behind and unable to enter because of the distance.

Saphir crossed his arms and waited quietly: "That's not important, I just want to know who entered it."

"Be optimistic, Aurora. Maybe he's someone we know." Sandoni remained optimistic. "Then we have a better chance."

Saphir did not comment on this, because she felt a faint aura of death here. There were no more than ten people in the world who had this aura.

They all have a certain relationship with Kanriya. She has thought about it. If the person inside is one of the five sinners, then she must be prepared for a fight.

But if you think about it carefully, it shouldn't be the case. They have nothing to do with the Narcissus Cross Society, so they shouldn't come here to join in the fun.

The ripples spread, the space twisted, a feeling of dizziness came over him, and his body seemed to be suspended in mid-air. Safire felt like he had come to another world.

Soon, she experienced the feeling of falling again. As she felt her feet on the ground, a strong sense of crisis surged in her heart.

Without any hesitation, Veronica appeared instantly and formed a shield to block her.

"Ding!"

The sound of metal clashing was heard, and the dizziness soon passed. Saphir and Sandone looked ahead intently, where stood a girl in black holding a sickle.

"Who did I think they were? Why are you here?" The girl also saw the two people who had just arrived here. She was stunned for a moment and then put away the weapons in her hands.

Saphir also put away Veronica at the same time: "Alert lifted, you are right, this place is indeed safer than I thought."

"She's really your acquaintance." Sandoni looked at the two people standing opposite each other, a little hesitant, "You... have a sister?"

The person standing in front of Saphir was Chenxi, who had not appeared since arriving in Fontaine and had a brief meeting with Xier.

Chen Xi cast his gaze towards Sandonie and raised his eyebrows in surprise: "The Narcissus Cross isn't that dangerous, so there's no need to mobilize two executive officers, right? Or is it that teaming up in pairs is popular now?"

"I just came to get something, why did you come here?" Saphir did not answer the question directly, but asked Chenxi the purpose of coming here.

Chenxi turned around and waved towards the darkness. A small pure water elf suddenly emerged and flew to her side.

"After leaving Xumi, I wandered around here and accidentally met this little guy. I helped it and its companions solve some minor troubles, and unknowingly came here." Chen Xi stretched out her hand, and the pure water elf fell into her palm.

The little guy seemed to like staying in Chenxi's arms and looked very comfortable.

Saphir pinched his chin and said, "There are actually such small pure water elves? It's amazing."

"Pure water elves have different sizes due to differences in strength. Not all pure water elves are like Lotia." Sandoni explained at the right time.

Safir also has a certain understanding of this, but when he sees this little guy, he still can't help but sigh.

"Hello, I'm An." The little guy introduced himself.

Saphir tilted her head. This name… reminded her of Marianne.

When Sandoni saw that Saphir didn't say anything, he took the initiative to speak: "Hello, I'm Sandoni, and this is Aurora."

After getting to know each other, they decided to travel together.

In fact, Saphir wanted to leave. After all, there would be no accidents if Chenxi was there. He just needed to let her bring the things back.

However, the moment Chen Xi heard her express this, he grabbed her head and looked like he was going to fight her to the death if she dared to run.

This made Safir very helpless and he could only continue to move forward.

An introduced the situation here to the others: "This library existed long before we came here.

The content of the book seemed to be an ancient drama script. Children loved reading it, but there were many things they did not understand and they often pestered adults to explain it to them.

In the story, if there is a dragon, there will be a brave warrior who conquers it. If there is a wizard, there will be a wandering knight.

The land is always recovered, the princess is always rescued, and of course the clock always rings, and the adventure ends.

But the adventure story will never end, there will always be the next adventure, the next adventure, the next adventure...

Until the children grow up, leave the stories behind, and leave here.”

As it spoke, its mood gradually became depressed, as if these words triggered some memories in it.

Saphir looked at her quietly and said to Sandonie beside him: "Children's adventure stories will be compiled into fairy tales with happy endings, while adults' stories will become magnificent poems."

"It could also be a sad and mournful eulogy," Sandoni said softly.

Chen Xi frowned slightly: "It can be seen that the final ending of An and its companions is not a happy one. It may not remember it, but the feeling is not wrong."

"Can you understand it?" Sandoni asked curiously.

Chen Xi chuckled: "For this Teyvat, only the story involving the Heart of God can be considered redemption.

The fate of ordinary people is always cruel and unreasonable, isn't it? "

"I always feel like there's something else behind your words." Sandoni stared at Chenxi's face that looked like Saphir, "You seem a little strange."

"I have always been weird, the kind of weird that doesn't fit in with this world. Now, even the people who should have a close relationship with me have completely integrated into this world. How can I not be weird?" Chen Xi said, grabbing An, "Let's go, there's no point in thinking about those things, let's keep moving forward."

Looking at Chenxi's departing back, Saphir remained silent.

She could hear the complaint in Chenxi's words, but she didn't know where this emotion came from.

I can only follow her and keep moving forward.

In front of them was a statue protected by a protective shield that shimmered with water. When they approached, An began to tell a story: "This is the center of the world, the castle where the dragon is entrenched, or the tower where the princess is imprisoned.

Sometimes it was the lost city of Iscariot, Arcadia, or the Golden Hyperion.

Here many untrodden realms were conquered, and many brave men defeated dragons.

This is a place that is always full of magic, which I never understood. The children can see through the stone wall and see non-existent griffins flying in the clouds in the distance.

In different adventure stories, these four small pools are sometimes the four seas and sometimes the territories of the kings of the four worlds.

I never understood these things in the past, but I also played various roles to accompany my children on adventures.”

What it said did not have much logic, and was more like disjointed fragments or excerpts from fairy tales and travel notes.

Safire believes that this should be closer to fragments of memory, and its memory is gradually recovering.

"It seems that there is indeed a big secret here." Saphir became a little more serious.

Sandonie soothed, "But I don't think there should be any danger here."

"This is a hidden space filled with the past memories of a pure water elf. If there is danger here, then the danger is the pure water elf itself.

Because this place is not so much a hidden space or a secret place as it is an extension of the spiritual space, and such a place values ​​the spiritual power of the people who enter it. "Sapphire said in a relaxed tone.

Chen Xi nodded and said, "Our mental strength is enough to fight against the whole world."

An was still in a trance. Saphir moved closer, condensed a ray of holy light, and touched the little guy's forehead: "Do you feel better?"

"Much better, thank you." An came back to his senses and felt that his thoughts were much clearer. "I'm sorry, I don't know why, I just feel very strange, these memories have a very beautiful feeling, but also very scary."

"What's scary is not the memory itself, but what you think in your heart." Saphir said.

This made An a little confused: "What are you thinking?"

“Yes, many emotions or things that have not happened will bring us the unknown, and escaping is the easiest way to fight these emotions.

You feel fear because you are avoiding it. Deep down in your heart, you are telling you not to get close, not to continue, to turn around and leave, and to maintain the status quo. When you want to continue, you will subconsciously feel panic. This is a protection for yourself.

Although… sometimes that’s not true.” Safire himself has experienced this feeling, especially in childhood nightmares.

Every nightmare brought her endless fear and confusion, but she survived it, so she remembered a lot of memories, both beautiful and painful.

Recalling those things would make her sad, but she would not reject them, because memory has always been the most precious treasure.

After this consolation, An became more resolute. He looked into the protective shield and said, "The one on the small fountain is the Narcissus Cross Sword."

"It looks cheap." Chen Xi frowned.

Sandonie smiled and explained: "The reason why the Holy Sword is called the Holy Sword is not because of how expensive it is, but because the faith condensed in it gives it something irreplaceable, which may be a symbol or a memory."

"Does this memory have your shadow?" Saphir suddenly asked.

Sandoni was slightly stunned, then shook his head: "Who knows? Maybe... no."

"I really don't know what kind of mood you are in when you come here. Are you reminiscing about the past or recalling the memories of your parents?" Safire said softly.

Sandoni's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't answer.

An looked at the wooden sword for a long time before saying, “At that time, the children’s adventures were simple, and a wooden sword was already a very precious weapon, and sometimes it was more than just a wooden sword.

A tree branch of the right shape, a clothes-drying pole, can become a holy sword in the right story.

But to prevent the clothes-drying pole from being used in fights, she... There was a woman who came back one day with several wooden swords for the children to play with.

"She? Who is she?" Saphir was curious about this woman.

An shook his head: "I don't know, it should be someone who was here before."

Saphir looked at Sandoni again, but Sandoni just shook his head and didn't answer.

Saphir knew that it was inappropriate to wishfully link Sandone with Alan Chiyodan, but she could not convince herself that there was no connection between the two.

Since Sandoni didn’t say anything, she didn’t bother to continue asking and changed the subject: “That woman really cares about the children.

It reminds me of another woman from whose hands I once received a long, thin sword, very sharp, with which I slit the throat of a fellow a few days later, and was rewarded with a piece of cake that evening.

"How does the cake taste?" Chen Xi asked with a bit of evil taste.

Safir chuckled and shook his head: "I don't remember. I ate the butter with the blood stains on the corners of my lips, and the taste on the tip of my tongue was similar to rust."

"It's indeed not a good memory. What happened to the sword? Why haven't I seen you use it?" Sandoni was a little curious.

Saphir spread his hands and said, "It didn't come in handy, so I threw it away. In fact, during that time, as long as I wasn't an opponent of Peruvian, I could kill anyone who came in front of me with my bare hands.

As for Peruvian, she is not on my list of opponents. Therefore, weapons are not important to me. "

“…”Neither Sandoni nor Chenxi continued speaking.

They could tell that the reason why Saphir threw away the sword was not because it was inconvenient to use, but because she found it difficult to control the strength when using the weapon.

Killing that partner was probably a mistake, and perhaps that was why she was reluctant to use sword-type weapons.

Obviously...she has a great talent with a sword.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Saphir was the first to break the dull atmosphere: "What's your reaction? I just simply don't like that person and that sword. Don't misunderstand my meaning.

It's just a tool for cutting open flesh, not worth remembering."

"Ordinary swords can cut through flesh, but the Narcissus Cross Sword has the ability to cut through spirit and will." An felt that Saphir's open-mindedness was right, and only will and spirit were difficult to cut through, "So, whether it is an invulnerable dragon or an invisible phantom, they are no match for this sword.

If you want to reach the end of the Narcissus Cross Adventure Group's story, you must obtain the Narcissus Cross Holy Sword."
