Original God's Dark Priest

While Saphir and his companions were forging weapons, Ying and little Paimon fell asleep together.

This time, she really saw the scene in her dream clearly. It was a place similar to a suspended platform. There was no way out, only rugged rocks and diffuse purple smoke.

"This purple mist... is a bit like Saphir's Death Mist. Is it also corrosive? Or... is it just pure abyss mist?" Ying tried to find the common points between the two, but she did not realize that this was one of the manifestations of the virtual world force.

As she observed more deeply, the fog became thicker: "It is more real than dreams, and colder than reality. The breath condenses in the mouth before it is exhaled. The soul seems to be pulled out of the body and forcibly brought to this unknown space..."

She stretched out her right hand and clenched her fist. It was okay, and she had perfect control over her body.

"No matter which direction I go, I can't see the end. What's even more disturbing is that there seems to be something in the fog, following me like a shadow..." Ying breathed hard, "I can't be wrong, this feeling... the abyss."

She was sure of this because Saphir had once told her about the feeling of being in the abyss, and it was exactly this feeling, sticky, yes, sticky.

There was a sticky feeling that restricted my breathing, as if my body was wrapped in a layer of unknown substance, restricting my movements and thinking.

Ying felt a little dazed. She began to be unable to tell whether this was a dream or reality, but she was very sure that she was in a dream. Thinking of this, she suddenly realized that this space was targeting her.

She remembered her weapon: the Peak-Chopping Blade.

This weapon will produce special effects when attacking the enemy. When she first comes into contact with the enemy, she can only use the most superficial sealing power, which is to seal the opponent. Although it can only last for a very short time, it is also a killer.

As she got to know the weapon more deeply, she began to understand its true ability, which was to seal.

She once used the Peak-Chopping Blade to its full potential to kill the Apostle of the Abyss.

Sealing is a kind of rule. According to her idea, it can seal the opponent's ability. Recently, when she uses the Chopping Peak Blade, she will habitually reflect the light world force, anti-virtual world force, and anti-biological energy in order.

After completing these three points, the enemy will basically lose the ability to resist. If it still cannot be completely defeated, then create a logical dead loop to completely disrupt the opponent's thinking, and you will win no matter how you fight.

And now, Ying felt that she was trapped in a logical dead loop and she couldn't calm down and think.

Suddenly, she felt a strong sense of dizziness and covered her forehead unconsciously.

What Saphir had said before appeared in her mind: "Being distracted in battle is a taboo, so be sure to beware of the various ways the enemy distracts you, especially when you are dizzy.

The moment you feel dizzy is the moment the attack arrives."

Ying didn't have time to think about it, and subconsciously took out the Chopping Blade and slashed behind him.

The feeling of the sword hitting her came, and Ying suddenly opened her eyes wide. It was true! There was indeed a murderous intention hidden here!

However, because of her poor condition, her movements were not strong enough and she was unable to completely knock the attacking object away. The blade that attacked her from behind came towards her again. Ying also held her weapon and was ready for battle. Unfortunately, she failed to remember the other sentence that Saphir said.

"When facing an opponent who has the ability to drop weapons from the air, never focus on one point, otherwise you will face various pincer attacks and endless attacks from behind."

"Pfft!"

The sound of a sword cutting through flesh was heard. Ying turned around slowly in disbelief, as if she wanted to confirm the other party's identity. However, there was nothing there. Only the pain of her body being pierced reminded her that she had just been attacked.

She looked behind her with horror on her face, and a hideous wound appeared on her back. While it was covered in blood and flesh, a faint light escaped from the wound.

In mid-air, a sharp spike flickered with a faint light and disappeared into the darkness. Ying frowned, feeling as if something was missing deep in her heart. However, before she could recall it carefully, a feeling of extreme fatigue surged up, and she closed her eyes unconsciously and fell to the ground.

Ying woke up to Paimon's shouting. Looking at the little guy in front of her who was telling her seriously that the sun was shining on her butt, Ying felt as if she was in another world.

No matter how the little guy complained, Ying turned around and said, "Can you help me check if there is any wound on my back?"

"Wound? Did you bump into anything while sleeping?" Paimon was very nervous when he heard that, and hurried to check carefully, "Let me help you check--"

However, there was only smooth skin on Ying's back, nothing else. Below the waist, where the area would normally be covered by clothes, there was a blue mark, making it impossible to tell what it was.

However, Ying and Paimon knew that it was painted by Saphir, who said at the time: "This can keep you healthy!"

Looking at the words "Quarantine Passed" written in simplified Chinese, Paimeng touched his chin with his right hand and said, "There's nothing here! It's exactly the same as before. Are you having a nightmare?

Don't worry, I heard that dreams are the opposite. If you have a nightmare... you should cheer yourself up first. How about this, I'll treat you today, and we can eat and talk at the same time!"

Ying nodded, and the two of them said goodbye to Bai Shu Changsheng and returned to Chihuyan.

The stall activity has not yet ended, and the two people's first choice is naturally the joint stall of Wanmin Hall and Moonlight Tavern.

When Master Mao saw the two of them arriving, he warmly invited them to sit down and served a large table of dishes, which was very sumptuous.

Ying and Paimeng couldn't refuse, so they had to go along with it and started eating with some fear.

While eating and chatting, Paimeng became a little nervous when he heard Ying talking about the dream: "You said you dreamed that you were in a space full of thick fog, and you were stabbed by a sharp thorn that stretched out of the fog?

I have never encountered anything like this before. Is this really a dream? From your description, it seems like you were really caught in some strange place…”

Ying also nodded: "Yes, that's how I feel. It's too real. I have to take it seriously. You know, killing people in dreams is not impossible. Aru did that."

Jade once said that Saphir killed her enemy Samel in a dream. Jade didn't know what happened between the two of them. She only knew that Samel's soul was still imprisoned in a glass bottle.

Every time Jade remembered, she would take out the bottle and treat Sameer well. Sometimes Xier would borrow it when she needed to do some experiments. It can be said that Sameer provided an indispensable help to Xier's academic development.

"But you did wake up in bed this morning. You were sleeping soundly when I called you." Paimon said this to prove that Ying had not left.

Ying sighed: "Maybe it really is a dream. I don't know what's going on."

Ying's thoughts are a little confused now, and she can't explain clearly what she is thinking. She wants to ask Safir, but it is said that the guy is away on a business trip. Would it be bad to disturb him?

Paimeng didn't think too much about it. He patted his chest and said, "Okay, I won't sleep tonight. I will stay by your side. If any bad guy comes close to you, I will beat it away..."

Ying really wanted to ask what kind of bad guy with a quarter of the strength of a wild boar could sneak into her dream, and Paimon could actually beat him away.

As if realizing that his statement was a bit arrogant, Paimon quickly added: "Or I'll tell you to get up and we can beat it away together!"

Looking at her friend's unreliable smile, Ying didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she had to admit that she felt a little more relaxed having such a friend.

Thinking about it carefully, this is Liyue. It doesn't make sense that she would be attacked without anyone reacting. She was still confused by what Saphir said about going on a long journey.

Ever since Saphir told her about this matter that day, Ying felt a very strong sense of disharmony.

It was just like what Safire said when he looked into his own eyes: "I'm going on a long trip in the next few days."

It's not said to myself, but to remind someone else.

As Ying recalled, Saphir's words began to change, and finally became: "I will be away for the next two days, so if you want to do something, hurry up."

With a startle in her heart, Ying cleared her mind. Although that guy was a dog, but...well...it felt like it was something she would do.

Thinking of this, Ying became depressed again. Did she offend anyone? There was no wound left where she was stabbed in the dream, but if she felt it carefully, she could feel a faint pain in her back, as if something was flowing away deep in her flesh and blood.

Thinking about the subtext in Safir's words, Ying felt that this seemed to be a trap, and she... well, was a bait or something.

"Is something lost?" Suddenly, a cold female voice sounded in Ying's ears.

She was startled and quickly looked at little Paimon.

Little Paimon also heard the voice and was a little confused: "Eh? Did you just say anything?"

"Did you hear it too?" Ying understood that this was not an illusion.

Just when the two kids were confused, a woman appeared at the table next to them and said in a pretentious manner: "Even if the flesh and blood are intact, the soul is already incomplete. If left alone, the heart will wither as well."

"Wow! You scared me. You are - I remember you, you are the young master's master, Si - what was it?" Paimon was a little panicked and even forgot Sicock's name for a moment.

But Ying remembered it clearly: "Silkcock."

Paimeng echoed, "That's right! How come you are here? The last time we met was in Fontaine, right? In the Primordial Sea... Ying and I left first, and I don't know where you went afterwards.

I heard that the Master was looking for you everywhere. Why are you here? Are you here to find us? Were you the one who played tricks just now? "

I don’t know who this little guy learned this from, but he never says nice things.

Si Ke Ke ignored this little thing. She had to keep her aloofness under control, so she stared at Ying and said, "Tell me, what did you see?"

Ying frowned as she looked at the cold beauty in front of her and did not tell her what she had seen and heard. She was not sure whether she could trust the other party.

Seeing Ying's reaction, Si Ke Ke curled his lips slightly in his heart, but did not show it on his face. Instead, he nodded slightly and praised: "It's normal to be very wary."

As she said that, she turned her head and looked at Sosia who was paying attention to this side: "Boss, give me a glass of wine."

"Here we are!" Soxia greeted them repeatedly, and quickly took a pot of wine and put it on the table, "Please enjoy it slowly, this is the specialty of the Moonlight Tavern, 'Tipsy', our host's favorite wine."

Silk raised her eyebrows slightly. Is this Safir's favorite wine? Then she would definitely try it carefully.

Thinking of this, Silk picked up the wine jug, poured herself a glass of wine, took a sip, tasted the flavor, her eyes lit up slightly, and she drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

I have to admit that there is a reason why Safire likes this wine. It is not strong in alcohol, has a mellow taste, and is smooth in the throat. After drinking a glass, you will have an endless aftertaste.

If you taste it carefully, in addition to the aroma of the sauce, it also has a slight sweetness. It is really delicious.

"It doesn't matter to me whether I intervene in your affairs or not. So it's not my job to reassure you." Silkcock filled his glass again. "It's up to you to decide whether to trust me."

This is a lie.

This guy has been secretly observing Ying since she started her journey. She even leaned over to look at the painting Ying drew on the beach for a long time. It was almost a one-to-one replica of Ying's various journeys.

If Ying really refused with a cold face, Silkcock would be broken.

Of course, not many people knew about this, or rather, no one knew about it except Safire.

Safir knew about the existence of Sikirk. That was after the primordial fetal sea. After having contact with her once, Safir became sensitive to her sight, which led to Safir catching Sikirk's secret observations later.

Although I didn't think of her at the first glance, it's not much different from being exposed.

If Safir's doubts are not dispelled, Si Ke Ke will never be able to appear within ten kilometers around Ying in the future, or he will be hunted down.

This was one of the reasons why Si Ke Ke had taken the initiative to show up to find Saphir.

It is not shameful to bow to Saphir. If you really want to count, Surtloch is her master, and Golden Rhinedot is a fellow sinner and a peer of Surtloch.

Rhinedot and Alice are from the same witch association and are peers. Both Alice and Barbiros acknowledge the relationship between Saphir and their witch association, so Saphir and Surtrock are peers and are elders of Silkok.

In other words, Saphir is Silkok's elder, and Silkok is Ajax, the master of Tartaglia. So let's do the math.

Dadalia had to call Saphir grandma.

One day in the future, Dattaglia met a spirited young man from Nata. The young man called everyone "grandpa" and "grandma" except him, which made him very angry.

Little did she know that everything was destined. Perhaps Tartaglia's tragedy began the day she met Silko...
