Original God's Dark Priest

"If you need help, speak up soon. I'll wait until I finish this wine." Sicock acted cool and aloof, looking like someone who was not easy to mess with.

Ying frowned and after a long silence, she spoke: "So, why are you here?"

"There is a slight abyss turbulence nearby. I came here to investigate and happened to run into you." Sicock lied with his eyes open, and it sounded like he really just happened to pass by.

Ying looked at her suspiciously, but didn't say whether she believed it or not.

Si Ke Ke glanced at her, and seeing that she was not going to speak, he continued, "There is a missing piece of your soul, and the wound has traces of erosion from the abyss. I don't need to say anything else."

She felt that she had made her words very clear, and Ying, who was so smart, should be able to understand.

Paimon was even more confused: "Abyss turbulence? Soul defect?"

Ying did have her own judgment. First of all, Si Keke's appearance here was probably not just as she said, he just happened to pass by. Things were not that simple.

Then there were the problems I encountered, and the whole thing seemed weird.

As soon as Saphir left Liyue, she was attacked. It's hard not to associate the two things together.

Combined with what Saphir said before he left, Ying was sure that she was being used as a bait, and Si Ke Ke was also involved, which was something Ying did not expect.

However, it should be true that Si Ke Ke knew about her physical condition. Ying began to think that since she did not sense any hostility from Si Ke Ke, they could indeed cooperate.

Paimon also came over at this time: "What should we do? Should we trust her?"

"What does Paimon think?" Although Ying had made a decision, he still wanted to see what Paimon thought.

Paimon glanced at Silk cautiously, and then said, "She just talked about the turbulence in the abyss. It seems that the strange things that happened to you are related to the abyss. If you refuse her, we can also find someone else who knows more about the abyss."

"But Saphir is not here, and I don't know when she will come back." Ying said helplessly, "It's not easy to find other people who know about the abyss."

Paimon also sighed and nodded: "Well, she just mentioned something about soul defect, which sounds scary, so it's better to solve it as soon as possible, right?

Although this guy named Si Ke Ke is a bit weird, judging from the description given by the young master, he should not be a bad person..."

This is Paimon's true thought. If Saphir heard this, he would have to correct her point of view.

The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie, especially if she is older, and Silk has both of these traits.

While the two little ones were mumbling, Silkock had already taken out a simple pocket and began to count Mora from the pocket: "One... two... seven... ten... Yeah, that's about it."

She estimated the cost of the meal and placed a string of Mora on the table for the bill.

These Moras were earned by her in Xumi. Strictly speaking, they were obtained from Dolly. What she paid for were items that ordinary people could not get and were relatively rare to the outside world.

From a business perspective, Dolly undoubtedly lowered the price, but Sikirk didn't care. On a daily basis, it was enough for her to have food, clothing and other daily necessities with Mora. As for these things, she always adhered to the attitude that enough is enough.

Master Sangmahabai was sweet-spoken, had a good attitude, and the procedures were not complicated. Sikok liked doing business with Master Bai because it was quick and easy, without him being asked a lot of questions.

"Have you reached a conclusion?" Si Ke Ke asked again after she put Mora in place. The whispering of the two little ones just now did not escape her ears.

Ying decided to trust the master for the time being, and told him what happened: "I saw a dark space with fog that could not be dispelled."

After briefly describing the scene in the dream, Ying explained clearly what she had seen.

"Um... Dear Ms. Silkock, we have told you everything we know. Are you willing to help?" Paimon was still unsure. When she needed help, she finally remembered that she had learned a few honorifics, and she used them on Silkock.

If Xianyun saw this scene, she would probably be so upset that she couldn't sleep. This little thing has never respected her so much!

However, Paimon's seductive eyes were obviously meant for a blind man. Silk didn't care whether the other party respected her when communicating with her. She was very pragmatic.

After learning about Ying's situation, Si Ke Ke sighed imperceptibly and said, "It seems that you can't dispel the fog in that space..."

Although she was mentally prepared, she still couldn't help feeling a little disappointed after learning the exact news.

"I already understand the situation. Come find me at Guiliyuan later. I've left the money for the drinks on the table. You can settle the bill together." Si Keke said this, indicating that he was going to take action.

As for why we have to go to Guiliyuan, we can only say that it is indeed the most polluted place. Even though Saphir has purified it many times, the effect is still not good.

It's fine for a while after the purification, but then it will return to its original state. It's really impossible to solve the problem once and for all.

After saying this, Silkock turned and left.

Paimon nodded: "Okay, don't worry!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she looked up to see Sicock's departing figure, but found that he was gone. This made the two little ones feel a sense of déjà vu. When they had just come into contact with Safir, similar situations seemed to happen frequently.

Even now, that guy appears and disappears suddenly. In the words of little Paimon, he is "like a ghost."

There was a problem when paying the bill. Sosia looked at Mora at the table with a frown on her face: "You two are eating... and you actually paid?"

Well...they never pay for meals.

This made Ying and Xiao Paimong a little embarrassed, but Xiao Paimong quickly cleared his throat: "It wasn't us, it was Silk, the person who just had dinner with us, who gave the money, and she also ordered the wine."

"Silk? Who? Was there someone having dinner with you just now?" Sosia's words left Ying and Xiao Pai confused.

Ying blinked her eyes, thinking in her mind.

Paimon didn't have so many thoughts and continued, "She was sitting here just now, about this tall, with white hair and red eyes..."

"Hmm... I don't remember. Is there really such a person?" Sosia wanted to say that the person with white hair and red eyes must be Saphir, but considering his height, she didn't think so.

The other guests around were also whispering, and the implication of their conversations was that there were only the two of them eating there, with no third person present.

Ying stopped Little Paimeng from asking further questions. She said, "It's okay. Just take it. You haven't paid for the meals so many times. I'll pay you today."

"Miss Ying is really... casual." Sosia chuckled and accepted Mora. Anyway, the lady in front of her had a close relationship with Saphir, so it didn't matter whether she gave money or not. If she wanted to give, then just accept it. It didn't matter.

Ying and little Paimon left. When they left, Paimon was still muttering, "What's going on? Judging from their reactions, they don't seem to remember that Silk was here.

If she hadn't left Mora for us so that we could pay the bill together, I would have suspected that I was hallucinating."

Paimeng shook his head vigorously. "The more I think about it, the colder my back gets... She told us to go to Guiliyuan to find her, so let's go and take a look."

The two soon arrived at Guiliyuan. Compared with a few years ago, the environment here was much better, but next to a ruin, there was still something unusual: a beast hound.

Wangshu Inn. Because Saphir did not bring Fushe to forge weapons this time, he and Xiao were watching the situation in Guiliyuan.

Xiao frowned, "Fushe, why don't you let me take action? If passers-by encounter this, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Don't be anxious, Jin Peng. Gui Zhong contacted me just now, and she didn't let us take action." Fu She looked indifferent and held Xiao's shoulder.

Hearing this, Xiao opened his eyes wide, his face full of confusion: "Why? It's obviously so dangerous!"

"We will do whatever the adults say. When will she miss it?" Fushe was not quite sure, but decided to obey.

Although Xiao was confused, since Fushe said so, he controlled his temper and did not take action.

So, the two of them watched Ying break into the territory of the Beast Realm hounds.

On this side, Ying put her hands on her hips with a serious expression.

Paimon observed carefully and asked in confusion: "What are the beast hounds doing here? They look busy, as if they are collecting something... Let's go and take a look!"

Ying nodded slightly, then took out her weapon and rushed forward.

After such a long period of growth, Ying is no longer the rookie he used to be, and his understanding of weapons is also greatly different from before.

In the past, she felt that the Peak-Chopping Blade focused on control and lacked damage, and she habitually bound weapons and elements together. For example, the Peak-Chopping Blade was compatible with the rock element, so she would use it to use the rock element; the Sky Blade was compatible with the wind element, so she would use it when using wind element skills.

As she experienced more battles, she gradually began to realize that these weapons were not so simple, and there were more and more ways to use them.

For example, now, Ying's hands are condensed with the element of wind, but his weapon is the Peak-Chopping Blade.

The wind element's large attack range combined with the Peak Chopping Blade's sealing power hit the target with one strike, and a thought came to mind: "Counter... the power of the virtual world!"

"Boom..." A long drumbeat-like sound was heard, and all the beast hounds that were swept through fell to the ground without exception, and were unable to move in an instant.

All the beast hounds were paralyzed with one strike, and even Fushe and Xiao who were watching from a distance were startled.

"Next..." Ying put away the Peak Chopping Blade and slowly drew out the Chalk Sword, "Holy Fire, burn."

The holy flame that could only be used by Saphir's Seraph mode ignited on the Sword of Chalk. That was the power of the Seraph, which was engraved into the Sword of Chalk through blood.

"Cleanse the filth!" Ying shouted, and swung his sword with all his might. Flames spread out instantly, burning half the sky.

When the flames died down, where was the Beast Realm Hound left? It was all burned to ashes, not even a slag was left.

After dealing with the Beast Realm Hounds, Ying and Xiao Paimeng went forward to check. Fortunately, Ying was still unable to fully unleash the effect of the Holy Flame and failed to completely burn the demon remnants here, otherwise they probably wouldn't be able to figure out what the purpose of these Beast Realm Hounds was.

Paimon quickly recognized the ominous object floating in the air like mist: "Is this what they collected? It looks like..."

"It's the remnant of the demon." If Paimon could recognize it, there was no reason why Ying couldn't recognize it.

Hearing Ying's affirmative answer, Paimeng also confirmed: "That's right! What's going on..."

They also knew that this place had been purified before. Logically speaking, if it were not for human factors, it would not have become like this now.

But now this is the scene, so the answer is obvious: someone is causing trouble.

As the two looked at each other, Silk appeared again. She walked forward and said, "All powerful creatures have been influencing this world since the moment they were born. Even if they die, this influence will not completely disappear."

As she spoke, several more Beast Realm hounds appeared and pounced on Silkcock when they saw her.

But Silk seemed to be completely unaware of them and continued walking. The only change was the sudden drop in temperature around her body.

In just a moment, the Beast Realm Hound that pounced on her stopped moving, and then ice flowers began to condense inch by inch. In just a few breaths, the Beast Realm Hound was covered by ice and completely turned into an ice sculpture.

"The Demon God is the most common example." Si Ke Ke paused, and then continued, "The remains of the Demon God who fell thousands of years ago are still buried deep in the earth, with twisted wills and deep curses on them.

These together constitute what you call the 'demon remnants'. They were originally suppressed under this land, but now it seems that a piece of them has been dug out, and their aura is getting weaker and weaker. "

She spoke very seriously, but when she came to her senses, she saw a little guy sneaking up to her ear, doing something unknown.

The ear was very close to the back of the head. Perhaps because he had been knocked unconscious many times in the past few days, he had some PTSD. Si Keke subconsciously shrank his neck, and then his tone fluctuated slightly: "What are you doing?"

"Nothing... nothing! I just want to confirm whether you really exist..." Paimon, who was caught, retreated in panic and hid behind Ying.

This reaction is okay. No matter what, there is at least a bit of awe. Perhaps because he has not been completely hit by the acquaintance buff, Paimon did not become too presumptuous.

Sicock frowned, but didn't blame him. After all, she wasn't very good at communicating with others. After thinking about it, she decided not to delve into it further.

Little did she know that this was the biggest mistake she made today: when Paimon tested her bottom line, she did not choose to suppress him, but chose to indulge him.

These two choices will lead to different results.

If you choose to indulge, you will become like Xianyun, who is teased and given all kinds of nicknames by the little guy. However, because of your status, you cannot really argue with this little guy and can only continue to endure it while sulking.

Those who choose to suppress, like Safire, will pick up the little girl and beat her when she shows signs of being wrong. The result of this is wonderful. The little girl will not bear grudges and will act familiar with her when they meet. But because she clearly knows the bottom line, she will not make excessive jokes and will not be given a nickname.

These are all experiences of getting along with Paimon. Unfortunately, Silk didn't know about this and she followed Xianyun's path.
