Original God's Dark Priest

It was another sunny day. The little girl opened the door and walked out of her little home.

Looking at the morning light that spread all over the earth, she took a deep breath of the fresh morning air. She waved to the creatures hiding in the woods nearby and said hello: "Good morning! Mr. Lizard!"

The huge lizard raised his head slightly to glance at the little girl, then lowered his head and continued to doze off with his eyes closed.

It's a new day, and everything is just like usual, full of hope and warmth, beautiful, like a dream that will never end.

"I don't have to go to school today! Let's go exploring!" The girl calculated the days and realized that today was a day off, so she made a decision right away.

She did it right away. She ran back to her room, changed into light clothes, and went out with a small wooden stick.

The adventures of young children are full of novelty and excitement, but in reality, they are just a small area not far from home. They will repeatedly experience things they have already tried and never get tired of it.

She thought today would be a day of fun, until she saw something she had never noticed before: a beehive.

Looking at the beehive hanging on the treetop, the girl became intrigued. She had eaten honey before, and not long ago, she had also heard her parents introduce it to her. The so-called honey is what bees make by collecting nectar from flowers.

Adults may find it too sweet, but children like it very much. The sweet taste seems to still linger on the tip of their tongue. The girl licked her lips, and the honeycomb high up seemed to have turned into a honey pot in her eyes.

"If, I could pick that, maybe..." Maybe I could have fresh honey to eat.

Thinking of this, the girl's eyes became brighter and brighter, and her steps became more determined. She was going to fight for her dream!

A mouthful of sweet honey is not the girl’s first or last ideal in her life. It is just an insignificant idea in her life, a sudden thought that may be fleeting and completely forgotten in a few days.

What she didn't expect was that it was just such an ordinary day, an idea so ordinary that it was not worth talking about.

She will remember it for the rest of her life because of some unexpected situations.

Holding the small stick, the girl approached the paper-hat-shaped beehive and noticed the "bees" hovering near the hive.

Unfortunately, children do not have much understanding of life and their knowledge of bees is very superficial.

If she had a little insight, she would have discovered that the bees she saw were not real bees, but wasps that were more than five centimeters long, black and yellow, or even had black and red stripes.

It’s not her fault. After all, it’s normal for children of this age not to know these things.

The stick poked the beehive, once, twice, trying to knock it down. The girl's action angered the crowd, and a black swarm of hornets rose into the sky, rushing towards her with a sound like a bomber.

Seeing the overwhelming black tide, the little thoughts in the girl's heart had long been thrown out of the window, and the only thought left in her little head was: run!

The girl was young and naturally small, while the hornets were very big, each one was much larger than her palm. If attacked by such a swarm of hornets, the girl's fate could be imagined.

In order to survive, she almost used up all her potential in this life and ran for her life. She felt that she would never have such a desperate chance again in her life. Unfortunately, she didn't know that what she would experience in the future would be much more cruel than this.

There is no point in running aimlessly. Seeing the hornets getting closer and closer, an idea suddenly came to the girl's mind. She realized that she couldn't fight the hornets because she was too weak. So, if she found a strong partner, could she repel the swarm of hornets?

She thought of Mr. Lizard, the huge, old man who lay dozing all day.

The girl turned and ran towards the lizard, followed by a swarm of furious wasps.

The hornets made a lot of noise, which immediately woke up Mr. Lizard who was dozing off. When he saw the girl and the swarm of hornets behind her, Mr. Lizard was visibly stunned.

The girl quickly waved her hands: "Mr. Lizard! Help me! I'm being attacked!"

In the girl's opinion, Mr. Lizard would definitely stand up to protect her. After all, Mr. Lizard was very good to her.

Mr. Lizard did the same. He shielded the little girl behind him and resisted the hornet's attack with his body. Unfortunately, that was all. After enduring only three or five attacks, the old lizard could not bear it anymore and started to run for his life.

The little girl ran in front, and the old lizard ran behind her while getting stung.

It’s not that the old lizard wanted to protect the little girl, it’s just that he was too old to outrun the young child. So, Mr. Lizard endured almost all the attacks on the way to escape.

Soon, a river appeared in front of them. The little girl thought quickly and jumped into the river and hid under the water.

Wasps can neither swim nor dive, so they will be safe if they escape into the river.

At this time, the little girl no longer cared about the old lizard that she had implicated. She kept swimming towards the distance until she could no longer hold her breath. She came up to the surface of the water to breathe, only to find that the wasps chasing her had long disappeared.

"It's safe..." The girl was not happy after surviving the disaster. She began to worry about Mr. Lizard.

However, if she went back to look for it now, there was no guarantee that she would not encounter the returning swarm of hornets, so the little girl hung around for a while and lit a bonfire to dry her clothes.

Until all her clothes were dried and she had nothing to do, the little girl walked upstream nervously against the current.

That's where she fought alongside Mr. Lizard.

Mr. Lizard was huge, so she didn't need to look for him to find him, but...

"Mr. Lizard?" Looking at Mr. Lizard lying on the ground with his eyes closed, the little girl burst into tears.

She rushed over and cried while hugging Mr. Lizard who had suffered an unexpected disaster. After a long time, Mr. Lizard still did not wake up. The little girl realized that Mr. Lizard might really be dead.

Thinking about losing Mr. Lizard, who had been with her for so long, the little girl felt regretful and blamed herself.

"Mr. Lizard, I will bury you properly!" Yes, since he had killed Mr. Lizard, there was no reason to leave his body exposed in the wilderness; he had to bury it.

Thinking of this, the little girl went home, found the shovel her father used for farm work, and returned to start digging the hole.

Because she was naughty, the girl was very strong and dug the hole quite quickly. In a short while, she had dug a huge hole. After apologizing to the dead Mr. Lizard, the little girl put it in the hole, covered it with soil, found a stone slab, and stuck it on Mr. Lizard's grave as a tombstone.

"Rest in peace, Mr. Lizard." The little girl imitated the adults and prayed at Mr. Lizard's grave. The sense of ritual was full.

"Silkcock? What are you doing?" the woman's voice sounded from behind.

The little girl, Si Ke Ke, turned around, with tears and grievance on her face: "Mom... Mr. Lizard... Mr. Lizard is dead..."

"What?" The mother was stunned when she heard it. Looking at the lizard's grave that had been covered with soil and a tombstone, she felt dizzy. She immediately snatched the shovel from her daughter's hand, dug up the grave, and rescued the unconscious old lizard.

After checking the old lizard's condition, the woman fell silent. A thousand words turned into one sentence: "It's not dead."

"Ah?" The girl was confused.

"Hmm." The woman looked at the old lizard, whose body was covered with scars and dust, and clicked her tongue. "You...you go back and get the medicine."

Fortunately, although my daughter is naughty, she is obedient and knows all the medicines.

With the concerted efforts of mother and daughter, the seriously injured old lizard received timely treatment and saved its life.

Time flies, and a few months have passed. The old lizard has recovered and is still staying in its territory, always dozing with its eyes closed. When someone greets it, it will still respond happily.

It seems like nothing has changed.

But every time the little girl appeared in front of it, the old lizard would remember what happened that day and run away desperately.

What brings the old lizard to life? Love or fear?

Who knows?

Silk opened her eyes and let out a long sigh. She had had similar dreams many times. At the beginning, such dreams were a torture for her.

The beauty in the dream would turn into double torture in her heart after she woke up. Gradually, she became numb and began to get used to the gap between dreams and reality.

Or maybe, the dream was about a beautiful past, but what she was facing was a cruel present and an uncertain future.

"The unknown is the greatest fear." Si Ke Ke remembered this sentence, stretched out her right hand and looked at her palm. Is she... afraid?

Turning his head to look at Ying who was still sleeping soundly, Si Ke Ke stood up, walked to a slightly farther place, and sat down on the wooden box as usual, savoring the dream just now.

So much time has passed that these dreams are no longer tormenting to her. On the contrary, she looks forward to such dreams because only in dreams can she once again experience the innocence and carefree state of mind that belonged to her long ago.

Everything has changed and she can't go back.

Thinking of Mr. Lizard who was harmed by her, a crack appeared on Silk's cold expression, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. Being naughty is a child's right, isn't it?

However, although she remembered Mr. Lizard's appearance clearly, her mother's appearance in the dream was no longer clear.

Perhaps it was because all lizards in the world look the same, but her mother is unique, and she could no longer remember what her mother looked like.

Time has passed for a long, long time, so long that I can no longer remember so many people and so many things, but what remains engraved in my mind is the melody that echoes in my mind.

She took out an old zither, got into position, raised her hands and plucked the strings. Playing the zither was her only pastime when she was alone.

She had long been accustomed to singing to the deep black abyss, and accustomed to talking to the starry night sky.

The sound of the piano is melodious, like the gurgling of water, the voice is ethereal, like a fairy in a dream, and the wordless ballad echoes in the space. This is the softness in Silkok's heart.

Perhaps this song also has lyrics, but she doesn't remember them.

After the song was over, the movement around her caught her attention. It was Ying.

Ying had a complicated expression and walked to her side.

"Awake?" Silkock didn't say much, nor did he explain his behavior.

Ying nodded, and there was a hint of inquiry in her eyes as she looked at Silk.

Just now, several people came here and conducted training. Afterwards, Si Ke Ke gave her an ornament, which seemed to be able to detect the person who attacked her. She didn't know how it worked specifically.

However, this accessory seems to have some side effects.

The dream just now...

Ying rubbed her eyebrows. In her dream, she saw blurry human figures, strange creatures, and an aggressive war.

A girl running hard amidst the flames and slaughter, a father who was sunny and resolute, and who would rather die than surrender but was reluctant to part with his daughter, and a mother who did not forget to entrust her daughter with her wishes at the last moment of her life...

Is that Silk's past?

She was also in such pain.

Ying wanted to say something to comfort her but didn't know where to start. She could only stare at the person in front of her. She was nothing like her past self. It was the years and disasters that changed her, making her cold and quiet.

"While you were resting, I collected some clues, but it's not enough. Let's start the second training session first." Si Ke Ke didn't seem to realize that Ying already knew her past, and she calmly arranged what to do next.

She taught three people, Ajax, Saphir, and Ying.

Ajax is her apprentice and also the dumbest one. When she was teaching Ajax, the child was still very young and would cry because of the hard training, but he would stand up strongly after crying and continue to become stronger.

Today's Ajax is actually very powerful, but... it is not enough, far from enough. Si Keke has seen Ajax, and he has made great progress compared to before, but he is still weak and cannot defeat himself who only uses one hand.

The second person was Saphir. It probably couldn’t be considered a teaching, he just shared the Seven Transformations of Snake with the other person.

In Si Ke Ke's eyes, Saphir was the kind of person who was qualified to challenge his master Surtloch, and his strength was far greater than his own.

If she only needs to use one hand when playing against Ajax, then when playing against Saffier, Saffier also only needs to use one hand. This is the difference.

Ajax and Safir are both executives, but the gap between them is so big, which makes Si Keke a little surprised. She always feels that Safir may have hidden her strength outside, and perhaps not many people know her true strength.

As for the third person, it is Ying.

Ying is very special. She is a pure outsider, but also an adventer who actively integrates into this world. Although she is immature, she already has some abilities.

She could see that Ying was most likely stronger than Ajax, especially since this girl had been trained by Saphir and could always use some special abilities, which would make her even more difficult to deal with.

Thinking of this, Si Keke frowned slightly. If that were the case, Ajax was his apprentice, and Ying was Saphir's apprentice.

Then Ying is better than Ajax, and I also taught Ying...

Is it necessary for Saffier to teach Ajax when he is free?

The more Silkock thought about it, the more he felt it was necessary. Otherwise, he would be at a disadvantage. Well... mainly that silly kid from Ajax would be at a disadvantage.

At that moment, Si Ke Ke decided to mention this matter the next time he saw Safir and find something for him to do.

Just as she was thinking this, Ying's training began again.
