Original God's Dark Priest

This time, Ying woke up on her own initiative. The edgeless sword in her hand drew an elusive trajectory. The sword energy filled the sky, and everything in front of her turned into nothingness.

The sound of the burning bonfire reached my ears, and the aroma of barbecue lingered in my nose.

Ying opened her eyes and what she saw was Si Ke Ke sitting in front of the campfire, watching the grilled fish and meat. It seemed that the fragrance came from her.

"Ying! You're awake!" Paimon jumped out from behind Ying. The little guy had probably been waiting for a long time.

Hearing Paimon's voice, Sicock looked up at Ying, then frowned slightly. She felt that the traveling girl in front of her seemed a little different, but she couldn't tell exactly what was different.

Paimeng has already started to take credit: "How's it going? Are you hungry? Ta-da! We specially prepared barbecue!"

"My stomach has been growling for a while." Ying subconsciously touched her stomach and found that she was indeed a little hungry.

Paimon chuckled, "I knew it. Silkcock and I made this together. Come and try it while it's hot."

"You two..." Ying walked forward and picked up a skewer at random, "Are you getting along better?"

Paimon thought it was natural: "It's been so many days! Since her cooking is pretty good, I'll temporarily forgive her cold attitude. After all, I'm a very generous person!"

Silkock did not comment on this, but simply said: "Let's save the small talk for after dinner, let's eat first."

She still understood the principle that man is iron and rice is steel. No matter what, Yingdu was still just an ordinary human being. The consumption of the body could only be replenished by eating. She could not live like an immortal by eating wind and drinking dew.

So, under the watchful eyes of Silkock, the two little ones feasted on the food and finished all the barbecue in no time.

After finishing the meal, Ying rubbed her stomach contentedly. Perhaps because she was really tired before, the meal tasted particularly delicious.

Paimon was also very satisfied. She floated in the air in a reclining position, bubbling with happiness: "Huh... I'm so full."

Ying nodded in agreement.

Then, Paimon looked towards the bed and said, "It's my turn to get some sleep this time. Remember to call me when you leave."

After Paimeng fell asleep, Sicock winked at Ying, and the two of them walked to a slightly farther place.

"Two good news." Si Ke Ke was also clear and clear. "First, the special training is over. You are now qualified to control the power. The next step is to continue to digest the insights gained during the journey and improve yourself in the battles with the strong.

Second, I have determined the exact location of the person behind the scenes. Once the investigation is completed and we retrieve your soul fragment, the matter will be completely over."

After hearing what Silkock said, Ying heaved a sigh of relief: "I didn't expect it to be so fast... Thank you."

"When Ajax was training with me, he said he had a lot of questions. So before I sent him off, I allowed him to ask me three questions.

Considering that we may not meet again in the future, if you have any questions about me, you can speak freely now. I will also answer three questions. "As if she felt that she was about to leave, Silkock showed her farewell style.

Ying looked at the white-haired, red-eyed girl in front of her, and always felt that the fate between them would not be so easy to end.

But after thinking about it, she still spoke: "You... met Saphir a long time ago?"

"!" Si Keke's eyes widened, as if he didn't understand how this question was asked.

After a long while, she slowly spoke: "Was it an unexpected question at the beginning?"

"I'm sorry, when I was in the soul-dream mirror, I seemed to see the memories in your heart." Ying explained.

Sicock narrowed his eyes slightly, his facial expression went out of control for a moment, and his face was full of surprise and confusion.

Ying felt that she might be a little presumptuous, and she began to wonder if she had said something wrong.

After a while, Si Ke Ke finally came to his senses and said after some consideration, "I had anticipated the side effects of that secret method, so I closed my heart in advance.

Even if it is a dream image, what you see should be endless darkness."

Ying recalled that at the beginning, what she saw was indeed endless darkness, which also proved that Si Ke Ke did not intend to let her see her past.

But then, a strange little guy appeared. It was that little guy who broke the darkness and allowed Ying to see Si Keke's dusty memories.

"Forget it, maybe there are some loopholes in my secret method. There have indeed been some special situations recently, and my control over myself has loosened a little." Si Ke Ke said calmly, but Ying always felt that she was being stubborn.

Humans are not machines, so how can they be without emotions? Even if they are suppressed very hard, mistakes will appear in the end, and then there will always be a backlash.

Silk has been suppressing herself for so long, it was only a matter of time before something went wrong.

Silk looked relieved. "Since you have seen it, I will not hide anything from you. However, I hope you can keep this a secret for me."

"Keep it secret..." Ying was stunned, a little confused.

But Silk ignored her and said, "Before I explain this, there is one thing I must make clear. I am not from Teyvat, but from another planet. You can understand that I once had an interstellar travel experience like you.

With Saphir... No, they are not exactly the same person. When I met Sue, she... said something to me and welcomed me when I came into this world."

"So, you and I are both adventers?" Ying felt a little emotional. Although they were not from the same hometown, but... they could be considered half-fellow villagers?

Silk shook her head. "No, we are different in this respect. The fate of this world has changed because of you, and I am just a passer-by in it.

Hundreds of years ago, my master Surtloch opened the border of the world for me and sent me here. But this is not my home, and one day I will return to the vast universe.

Meeting Sue was an accident, but also destiny. Although I am just a passer-by in this world, I have a deep connection with her, and I don't know where this connection comes from.

You specifically asked about Sue, is it because of Saphir? To be honest, although there is a connection, my understanding of her is limited, and that person is probably no longer in this world."

"Has she...left this world?" Ying asked.

But Silk shook his head: "I can feel it every time the border of the world opens. The previous openings were the departure and return of Morax and Saphir, and the coming of Jiangli. Going back further, it can be traced back to a long time ago.

Obviously, Sue didn’t leave in the broad sense, she just disappeared, in other words…”

"Is he dead?" Ying came to the conclusion.

Si Ke Ke was silent. This question was not easy to answer, because as far as she knew, the path Su could travel was not limited to the macroscopic path. She also had the ability to go back along the river of time. Perhaps, she went to another point in time?

Or maybe she went to the future.

Su disappeared silently, and even she didn't notice it. She just vaguely felt that the last breath belonging to her erupted in Liyue Harbor a few years ago. Her breath was exactly the same as Saphir's. The reason why she confirmed that it was Su's was only because at that point in time, Saphir did not have such strength, that's all.

After that, as Saphir grew stronger, Su's features became less noticeable, and now, she could no longer find any trace of Su.

With a sigh, Silk decided to end the topic: "Okay, that's the end of the answer. You can ask your second question."

Ying knew that it was impossible to ask more questions, so she asked Silk: "What is your purpose in coming to Teyvat?"

"In order to become stronger." Silk's answer was decisive. "For some reasons, I must catch up with my master as soon as possible. Before that, I need to understand where his strength comes from.

To do this I will follow his path and find a way to defeat him. This is the only thing that really matters to me.

Just one last question."

Si Keke's expression was serious. It seemed that Ying's question made her a little uneasy.

Ying thought about it carefully. Si Ke Ke wanted to defeat the Evil Knight. She had indirectly come into contact with the Evil Knight. She had seen that shadow when she was fighting with the Star-Devouring Whale.

It was just a shadow, but it made her feel very difficult at the time. If it weren't for Villette's support and help, she might not have won.

Obviously, the strength of the Evil Knight exceeds that of Safir. Even the current Safir should not be his opponent.

Ying didn't know that Saphir had undergone a transformation after training in the use of virtual force, and his strength had officially been promoted to the level of the first generation of gods, approaching the level of the Four Shadows, but it didn't hurt to know.

Because the strength of the Evil Knight has been tempered for so many years and is also incomparable.

It is unreasonable to compare the past Evil Knight with the past Saphir.

In any case, Ying was well aware of the power of the Evil Knight, so she could only express awe at Si Keke's purpose.

The second question has come to an end. Ying can see that Si Ke Ke is unwilling to discuss this in depth.

She had almost wanted to know everything, and after thinking about it again and again, she decided to ask the last question on behalf of Tartaglia.

"Have you made up your mind?" Sicock seemed impatient and there was a hint of urging in his words.

Ying nodded: "Do you know that the Master has been looking for you? Why don't you go meet him?"

"Ajax..." Si Keke's expression softened for a moment. After thinking for a while, she raised her head and looked away. "He is different from you. Before we officially met, you had seen many strong people, observed their moves, and had your own set of experiences.

I don't know how much Safire has done for your growth, but in any case, you are not without foundation, on the contrary, your foundation is very solid. On such a foundation, what I need to do is just to add bricks and tiles.

But Ajax is different. He was too young when he learned from me, like a blank sheet of paper. Children will always subconsciously imitate those they admire and admire, but in the long run, this is not good for his growth.

When he is strong enough, I will meet him. Until then, let him continue to take this as his goal and do his best to improve his strength. "

Silk's answer was normal and didn't sound wrong, but...

Ying felt that this was not the case. She tilted her head and looked at Si Ke Ke: "But aren't you also imitating the Evil Knight?

I don't think it's unacceptable for the young master to imitate you."

"Oh? Imitation, but there is a prerequisite that it can be imitated. The power system used by me and Ajax is fundamentally different. No matter how much he imitates me, it will only bring trouble to himself.

He can learn the moves of the school, but he can't learn the core. Such imitation is poor. Just like you, from the outside, your relationship with Saphir is probably close to that of a master and apprentice.

Will you imitate her fighting style?" Silkcock changed the subject and looked at Ying.

Ying was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously said, "I can't learn her techniques..."

The only thing she has imitated so far is the sword-drawing technique, and even if it is the sword-drawing technique, it is not Saphir's skill, but someone else's.

"That's it. The models are too different, so imitation loses its effect. Therefore, it is inappropriate." Silkock made the final decision.

Seeing this, Ying didn't know what to say.

In fact, from the very beginning, Ying could see that Si Ke Ke seemed to be deliberately avoiding contact with ordinary people. Whether it was the people of Liyue Harbor or the Young Master, they were all classified as ordinary people in Si Ke Ke's eyes.

She would approach people like Saphir and herself, who have the attributes of "adventurers", that is, outsiders.

Why is Silkock deliberately avoiding contact with this world?

Ying frowned and thought, but got no results.

After asking the three questions, Si Ke Ke looked at Ying seriously and said, "I just wanted to ask you, you seem to be a little different after you woke up this time, can you tell me what happened to you?"

"This..." Ying couldn't really explain what happened. "If I really have to explain it, it's probably something like... enlightenment? Or something like that, right?"

"Insight?" Silkock was puzzled.

Ying nodded: "Probably the understanding of sword moves. Actually, Saphir did teach me, but she never taught me the techniques of the moves, only taught me actual combat, and also gave me a weapon to play with myself."

"Is that so?" Si Ke Ke felt a little strange. Ying had been with Saphir for more than a year or two. In such a long time, she didn't teach her anything? This shouldn't be the case, right?

Ying didn't quite understand these tricks. After thinking about it, she took out the Sky Blade and wanted to introduce this first weapon she got from Saphir to Si Keke.

The thought came up and the weapon appeared, but what appeared in Ying's hand was not the Sky Blade, but the Edgeless Sword.

"Where is my Sky Blade?" Ying was a little panicked. She subconsciously went to look for her weapon, but the Sky Blade was gone, the Peak Chopping Blade was gone, the Leaf Cutting Green Light was gone, and even the Chalk Sword was gone. The only thing left was a bladeless sword.

Ying felt as if the sky had fallen. She didn't understand why this happened. This was Si Ke Ke's abyssal territory, how could the weapon be lost?

Seeing Ying already in a daze, Si Ke Ke tried to comfort her: "Calm down. Weapons can't disappear out of thin air. Something must have happened. Try to recall it carefully."

Weapons are the life of a soldier. Losing the vitality of a weapon is tantamount to losing half of one's life.

Ying forced herself to calm down. She still had to fight and couldn't lose her composure at this moment.

After calming down, Ying recalled what had just happened and thought carefully about what went wrong. Soon, she remembered the experience in her dream. What on earth was that bladeless sword that appeared out of nowhere?

Thinking of this, Ying raised her hand and looked at the edgeless sword in her hand, and then found four runes on the sword.

Seeing this, Ying's eyes lit up. She could naturally tell that this rune was nothing else but the holy seal of Saphir. Four holy seals actually appeared on the Edgeless Sword at once. If there wasn't something going on, she would never believe it.

Thinking of this, Ying slowly reached out and touched one of the runes.

The next second, the Edgeless Sword began to transform...
