Original God's Dark Priest

After Safir and the others came over, An pointed to an open book on the table and said, "This book is... This book has a very strange feeling."

"Strange feeling?" Safire raised his eyebrows slightly. As we all know, when such lines appear, it is often the time when the plot is triggered.

That said, this book is critical.

She immediately picked up the book and took a look. The first thing she saw was not the words in the book, but the large pictures.

The picture shows a garden-like place with sunflowers planted on both sides of the road and dense trees. Deep in the forest there is a building, which is a villa similar to an ancient castle. The scenery is beautiful and it can be said to be a very suitable place to live.

Looking at the pictures, Safire pondered, "Is it a picture book? Let me see... Oh, I got it.

A long time ago... in a place far, far away, there was a kind and beautiful princess, her name was Lilith... well, this is the protagonist of this story. "

After reading this, Safir looked up and exchanged glances with Chenxi and the others. They had finally found the real culprit.

She continued reading, then hesitated and said, "Isn't this just a story? Why does it feel a bit like an essay?

This is…'Don't use this name. It's obviously different from what you said.' Who is complaining? "

“We should include the communication between the two people and take a look at it later.” Chen Xi suggested.

Safire nodded and turned a page. "It's just a story. Don't be so stingy. Ahem, let's continue. Now that we have a protagonist, the story still lacks a character to hinder the protagonist... an evil villain."

Reading this, Safire couldn't help laughing out loud: "This is a common problem in children's literature. The protagonist and the villain are the theme of the whole story. After all, the struggle between good and evil is the concentrated conflict mode of contradiction.

In the end, let the protagonist defeat the villain, and then say "evil cannot prevail over good", the story is over, and values ​​are promoted. It is indeed a great idea.

Unfortunately, most of the time, there is no absolute good or evil, it just depends on your stance. "

She sighed and continued reading the rest: "Oh, I got it. 'The evil villain... is the dragon Narcissus. He is so evil that peace-loving people tremble when they hear his name because he doesn't care about other people's feelings at all.'..."

Saphir was silent.

Sandonnie chuckled, “Come to think of it, the people of Fontaine had a similar reaction when they heard the word Saphir.

You should be thankful that the Queen gave you a new name, otherwise it would not be so easy for you to be accepted back into Fontaine society."

Saphir glanced at Sandone and shook his head: "They accepted Aurora, but never Saphir."

Chenxi stood beside Saphir and continued reading from where she had left off: "It destroyed everything, breathing out blazing flames, its rough flapping of wings reduced many cities to dust, and its scorching breath reduced many countries to ashes.

In the end, only Princess Lilith's kingdom remained intact."

After reading this, Chen Xi couldn't hold back any longer: "Isn't this crazy? How can a villain be like this? He becomes a villain just for the sake of being a villain, without any reason or cause, just to become the one destined to be defeated by the protagonist."

"I've already told you it's children's literature. Why are you fussing about it so much? Have you become stupid from studying in the Church of God? Even Elhaisen wouldn't be so harsh on a fairy tale." Saphir pulled the book towards him and rolled his eyes.

Chen Xi corrected him seriously: "Elhaisen doesn't read fairy tales, he usually reads dictionaries."

"A-choo!" In the library far away in Xumi City, Elhaisen sniffed hard, frowned and looked around, a little confused, "Did the temperature drop?"

"Okay, let's continue." Saphir patiently read the follow-up content, "Because Princess Lilith has been working hard to protect her kingdom, the evil dragon Narcissus's plan to destroy everything has never succeeded.

What does the latter sentence mean? 'So, in the story of Narcissus, I am also the evil villain?'

If this is the process of two people creating a fairy tale, then from a standpoint, this sentence should be said by Lilith. "

“That is to say, Princess Lilith… no, I should say Lilith, did exist in real life, but she was not a so-called princess. Instead, she was someone like the person in charge of this orphanage.

According to the information we learned earlier, the dean is a pure water elf, and the vice-dean is an ordinary person. In other words, as a character that runs through the Narcissus Cross Adventure Group for a long time, this Lilith is most likely the pure water elf who serves as the dean. "Sapphire made a reasonable guess.

As soon as she finished speaking, the surrounding scene suddenly became blurred. After a few seconds, this place was no longer the reference room, but the garden depicted in the picture in the book.

Chen Xi looked around and said, "It looks like we have entered the world of the book?"

"Or maybe this is the real world." Sandoni said softly.

An nodded: "This is the real resting place."

After hearing An's words, Saphir looked towards the villa: "That means Princess Lilith is finally willing to meet us, right?"

“I don’t know, and I don’t know whether Princess Lilith is here or not.

At least in my opinion, the world should be like this, not like it is outside. Children should live in the sun, among flowers and plants, undisturbed and unharmed. I hope she is here." Ann shook her head gently and said what she thought.

"She will be here." Saphir said firmly.

As she spoke, she took the lead and walked inside. As she walked, she said, "I once had a similar idea. When everything is over and the dust has settled, I will find a place similar to this place, build an orphanage, adopt a few orphans, and live like this."

"What about now? Don't you plan to do that?" Sandoni was a little curious.

Saphir smiled softly and said, "Let's leave the orphanage's affairs to Alechino and Krevy. I would rather go back to my teahouse on the rock.

Take a walk in the morning, drink tea at noon, listen to music in the afternoon, and drink wine in the evening. Wouldn't that make life more comfortable?"

"You are only in your twenties, still at the age of striving. Being too lazy is not a good thing." Sandoni reminded her.

Saphir was totally unmoved: "What do you mean 20 years old? I am thousands of years old! Funina retired at the age of 500, so I want to retire too."

"Everyone has different physiques. Why didn't you tell me that Nashida started working at the age of 500?" Chen Xi said mercilessly.

Saphir scratched his head, thought for a while and said, "She has a special physique, I can't compare with her."

"Tsk!" The two of them uttered a disdainful sound in unison.

The three of them walked towards the villa noisily.

Suddenly, a song came from somewhere: "Hide and seek, hide and seek, where are Mary and her friends going?"

"Where does the singing come from? It's so creepy." Chen Xi muttered.

Saphir did not answer, but he quickened his pace. Soon, they passed through the fence and entered the yard. In the yard, there was a simple pavilion, and in the pavilion stood a girl in white clothes and blue hair.

The girl seemed unaware of the arrival of the others and was still singing an unknown ballad: "Hide and seek, hide and seek, where are Mary and her friends going?

To the unbounded sea, to the source of all life?"

Coming behind her, Saphir unconsciously slowed down his pace, walked slowly to a place two meters away from the girl, and stopped.

The girl turned around and glanced at them, then took the initiative to speak: "Oh, hello! I'm so sorry, I was just preparing snacks and didn't notice you coming. Please sit down, it will be snack time soon!"

After saying that, she continued to work on the task at hand.

After a while, the girl placed the prepared snacks on the table in the pavilion, and pulled out a few chairs for everyone to sit down.

Looking at the exquisite snacks on the table, Safir and the others had no intention of eating, but just watched silently.

Seeing that several people were not eating, the girl continued, "Our snacks here are delicious. But you have to wait a moment. You can only start eating after the bell rings. Otherwise, it would be too rude."

Before the bell rang, they could chat for a while.

The blue-haired girl looked at Saphir and the others and asked, "Where are you from? Sisters who look like twins but share the same soul, puppets that look human but are actually machines, and little pure water elves."

"Can you see our true nature?" Saphir was very curious.

The girl shook her head: "It's not my essence, I'm just more sensitive to the fluctuations of the soul. If you don't want to tell me, it's okay."

Saphir stared into the girl's eyes, but could not see any malice in her eyes, so he said, "I am Saphir, this is Chenxi, and this is my colleague Sandoni."

As she spoke, she looked at An, who was obviously in a bad mood, and said, "This little guy is An."

"Oh, what a nice name. Well, for me, you can call me 'Marian'." The girl chuckled and said her name, or perhaps, a code name.

But as soon as she said this, the atmosphere suddenly became weird.

An was silent, Chenxi had a blank expression, Sandoni frowned slightly, and Saphir seemed to be smiling.

As if she hadn't noticed these details, the girl who called herself Marianne continued, "It's been a long time since I've met someone from outside. I'm so happy. Where are you from?"

Her warm and hospitable appearance made her seem like a young girl who had not experienced much of the world, but this self-proclaimed title made it difficult for several people to trust her.

It was obvious that this guy was acting, so Saphir played along with her: "We came from far, far away, and arrived here after defeating the evil dragon Narcissus."

"Narcissus! It's terrible!" Marianne immediately made a surprised expression.

Safir crossed his legs, propped up his head with his left hand, and said lightly, "Is it scary? The moment we saw it, we pulled it down from the sky, pinned it to the ground and beat it up. From beginning to end, that guy didn't even have the chance to fight back."

"How amazing!" Marianne exclaimed, "I heard that the dragon Narcissus hurt many people and reduced many kingdoms to ashes. It's amazing to be able to defeat it."

Saphir nodded indifferently to Marian's statement, and then changed the subject: "Marian, since you know the dragon Narcissus, it will be easy. We are from the Narcissus Cross Kingdom and are looking for Princess Lilith. Do you know where Princess Lilith is?"

"Princess Lilith? I don't know." Marian shook her head with an innocent expression.

At this time, An interrupted and said, "But...she should be here..."

"Is that so, Ann? But I have lived here for a very long time and have never seen any princess. Maybe your princess is somewhere out there!" Marian's eyes were extremely clear and she didn't look like she was lying at all.

This made Saphir narrow her eyes slightly, and she further probed: "But, we heard that Princess Lilith was here, or rather, just before we came here, we saw a book that talked about the beautiful and kind Princess Lilith."

"The beautiful and kind Princess Lilith... I don't know, but Miss Safir looks like a princess from afar." Marian suddenly turned the topic to Safir.

Saphir chuckled when he heard this: "Princess? I've never been a princess."

Suddenly, the sound of bells was heard in the distance.

"It's the signal to have some refreshments together! In the past, when the children heard this bell, they would drop their wooden swords and come to the yard to have some refreshments together!

Although they are not here now, we still have to abide by the rules here. Otherwise, it would be too unfair to them. Let's start!" Marianne immediately ended the topic and invited several people to eat.

Actually, Safir didn't really want to eat, but looking at the dazzling array of snacks on the table, she reached out, took a piece of cake, took a bite, and chewed it carefully.

Seeing her move, Chenxi and Sandoni no longer hesitated and took the snacks in front of them and started eating.

Marianne didn't say anything either, just smiled and watched them eat quietly.

After everyone finished their portions, she asked expectantly, "How was it?"

He looks like a chef who is expecting diners to comment on his cooking skills.

Safir licked her lips and smacked her lips: "You...haven't you tasted it yourself?" She was indeed quite curious. Shouldn't one taste the food first when cooking? This is the most basic responsibility to the diners.

Perhaps, there is no Xiangling in this world, or perhaps, everyone is Xiangling.

Marian immediately showed an embarrassed expression: "Ah? I'm sorry, I made it according to my memory, I'm not sure about the taste..."

"It's not that it's unpalatable, but... well, it doesn't taste like a dessert." Chen Xi put down the teacup in his hand and took a look at the bland black tea in the cup. "Although it's not the taste I expected, I'm not a person with high standards. It's just okay."

The feeling that the food looks so different from its actual taste is actually a novel experience.

After the dessert, Marian simply cleaned up the tableware on the table and extended her hand to invite everyone: "In that case, let me take you around."
