Original God's Dark Priest

After bringing Silkock back to the Abyss Rift, Saphir looked at her seriously and said, "Why are you so embarrassed? Are you just trying to help Ying get back the soul fragments?"

Silkcock turned his head away and nodded slowly.

After a few seconds, she added, "I will recover much faster here."

"…Alas." Saphir sighed softly, "Is that voice still bothering you?"

Silk didn't answer, but her ears were already ringing with noise.

"Think about us. So many people died in that fire, and you are the only one who survived."

"Do not take your eyes off the sword. You are not yet qualified to rest."

"Run, Silk. Keep running until you die--"

The bewitching voice continued to ring, and she unconsciously clenched her fists.

Ying was a little worried, and she looked at Saphir for help.

Silk ignored all this. She gently stroked her chest with her right hand and said, "It seems that something went wrong again. Next, I need to let my consciousness sink completely into my heart to see what happened."

Saphir frowned slightly but said nothing.

After Silkok fell into meditation, Saphir took Ying and little Paimon to a slightly farther place.

"Seeing her like this, she might be in some trouble. Let's put it this way. It's getting late and Noelle might be asleep. You can find Nadia and ask her to prepare some midnight snacks for us. I guess we'll be able to solve the problem once you notify her." Saphir was still thinking about the midnight snack at this time.

In fact, she was also quite helpless. Her past self promised Silkock, so would her current self help him solve the problem?

He is so tolerant and broad-minded, I really don't know what he is thinking.

But, considering that Silk has really helped me a lot, a little reward is still necessary.

Paimon hurried off to prepare, leaving only the sleeping Silko, Ying and Sapphire at the scene.

The two of them looked around at Silk, Saphir was observing how he should proceed, while Ying was simply looking.

Just when the two of them had no idea what was going on, a small fairy-like thing appeared, circled around Ying and Saphir, and made some happy sounds.

Ying was quite surprised to see this little fairy: "Ah, it's you!"

Saphir had never seen this thing before, so he asked, "What is this? Are you familiar with it?"

"This is Si Ke Ke!" Ying introduced, and then saw Saphir's dead fish eyes.

Well... Ying also knows that this is difficult to comment on, but it is the fact.

Just as Ying was racking her brains to think of how to explain, the little guy opened his arms, a dazzling white light flashed, and the two were pulled into a strange space.

The white light dissipated, and Saphir looked around with a thoughtful expression.

Ying sighed: "This place feels so familiar, it feels like I've been here many times."

She took two steps forward and carefully observed her surroundings.

The cliffs were high, and there were forests of dead trees. There were floating islands made of rocks everywhere, and at the farthest end of the field of vision, a river originated there, interrupted several times and formed waterfalls, stumbling over.

A careful observation reveals that the color of the river water is getting darker with each interruption of flow. The closer to the downstream, the deeper and darker the color becomes. This feeling makes people feel indescribable...panic.

Saphir carefully observed the river. After a long while, she finally said, "How cruel..."

"What?" Ying was a little confused.

Saphir shook his head: "If I'm not mistaken, this should be Silk's inner world. Look at this river...tsk tsk tsk.

Life is like a river, it changes and extends. Its starting point is birth and its end point is death.

To cut off this river would mean completely denying one's past... Look, how many times has it been cut off?"

The little fairy floated beside Saphir and fell into silence. Obviously, Saphir's interpretation was correct.

After understanding all this, Saphir looked at the little fairy again: "For this little guy... this is very painful, because it should represent the will of the past Silkock.

Every time this river is cut off, it is a denial of it. Imagine how it would feel to be denied by your future self, over and over again. "

"Hmm..." Ying rubbed the goose bumps on her arms and felt a chill.

This guy Si Ke Ke is too cruel. What is the purpose of doing such a thing?

At this time, the fairy spoke: "You are right, this is the mind world of Silkock, also known as the Soul Dream Gorge."

Then, it looked at Ying and said, "You have actually been here before. At that time, it was still pitch black all around. I tried my best but could only help you illuminate a small area."

Hearing this, Saphir looked at Ying thoughtfully. Should I say that she is worthy of being her? She always manages to provoke all kinds of girls.

Ying didn't think too much about it. She stared at the little guy in front of her in amazement: "So you can talk?!"

"Hey, this is the first time we've had a chat like this. That accident weakened her strength, so I was able to break free and bring you here, so I can talk again.

If there is such a thing as fate in this world, it should refer to this kind of interesting coincidence." The little guy said this and looked at Saphir again.

Recently, Si Ke Ke's mood has been very unstable, and it is hard to say that this woman is not the reason.

When it comes to disturbing people's minds, Saphir is a genius. After all, she was able to pull Thor out of his pure land, which is not something that ordinary people can do.

Now, it can move so freely, in addition to the fact that Si Keke's own power has been absorbed, another part of the reason is that she has been tortured by Saphir and is no longer as calm as before.

You can't stay with Safire for too long, or your character will easily collapse.

Saphir naturally noticed the little guy's gaze. Although she couldn't see its eyes, Saphir could feel that this guy was looking at her, so she asked: "What do you want to say? Or... do you need me to introduce myself?"

"That's not necessary. Although I have been suppressed, I still know what is happening in the outside world." The little guy shook his head, and then said, "I feel that you and Su are very different. You are not the same person at all."

Hearing this, Saphir couldn't help but laugh: "She and I are of course different. A seedling born in a desert and fertile soil will have completely different results in the end.

She was born with all kinds of love and care, but I have to face all kinds of intrigues and make all kinds of compromises just to save my life. How can we be completely in agreement?

Just like you, if there hadn't been those disasters in the past, Silk would definitely be a very happy person now. Would she become an adventurer? Or an interstellar traveler, or a scientist? A literary worker? All are possible, but she would never be like now, living as a lone wolf. "

Speaking of this, she also felt a little sad. How could there be so many tragedies in this world?

"You're right, we shouldn't be like this." The little guy nodded slightly, "She was very scared, and she was always very scared, so she did a lot of cruel things to herself, as if there was an extremely deep darkness forcing her, but I know that those were just the obstacles in her heart.

She repeatedly denied me and herself, which was just a way of throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Isolating herself would not bring her relief, and the so-called connection with this world would lead to her demise was just a means of intimidation.

Saphir naturally understood this truth: "The goal of the Evil Knight is not to destroy this world, but to hope that she will work hard for this world because of the kindness in her heart and become stronger in order to protect it.

But in the end... she seemed to be wrong. The Evil Knight would not give up attacking this place just because she was not familiar with the people in this world. Similarly, she would not be free from pain just because she was not familiar with the people here. "

At this point, she sighed: "At such an old age, how can you still be so naive, like a fool."

"No way! A girl is always eighteen years old!" The little guy obviously took this matter very seriously and retorted very fiercely.

Saphir sneered at this: "Come on, the combined ages of the three people here can be traced back to the Jurassic period. I don't know who you are trying to fool by saying this."

Ying pricked up her ears and looked curious: "Jurassic? What era is that?"

"The era when reptiles ruled the world 35 million years ago, um... you can think of it as the era when the Dragon King ruled Teyvat, it's not much different." Saphir explained very carelessly.

Ying frowned and counted her age with her fingers. After a long while, she said, "No, my age is less than 10,000 years. Isn't it too far from 35 million?"

"Me too." The little guy added, "So you are the oldest, right?"

after a while.

Ying had a big bump on his head, and next to him was a little fairy with a small bump on his head. It was obviously a spirit, and no one knew how Saphir did it, but anyway, the little guy got beaten.

The fairy began to introduce: "This river is the embodiment of the power in Silkock's body. Power comes from the accumulation of every day and from everything a person has experienced.

So this river should have gathered the fragments of time and rushed forward carrying memories and emotions.

However, as you can see, the river was cut off several times... because Silk didn't like his past self. "

At this point, it became a little sad again. The mood that had improved because of the jokes with Saphir fell again: "Whenever the water reflects the old image that she hates, she cuts the water and the rocks with the sword of reason, bids farewell to the failed past, and embarks on a new journey with determination."

"Rational?" Safire sneered. "I always thought I was crazy, and other people also said so about me, but now it seems that she is even crazier than me. At least I still cherish my memories, whether they are happy or sad, I remember them all."

Ying recalled the words of the Evil Knight: "Until you are able to restrain unnecessary emotions, kill your fragile self, and completely become the master of that body."

Then, here are the words of Silk: "It's not the first time I've experienced failure and loss of strength. If you hit rock bottom, climb up again until you become stronger."

Her mumbling did not escape Safire's ears.

Saphir looked at the scattered river and clicked his tongue: "Is this how Surtloch teaches his apprentices? Sigh... As expected, being a riddler is like this. He can't even speak clearly. Look how he's pushing the kid."

"Isn't this what Evil Knight meant?" Ying asked curiously, and the little fairy was also confused.

Saphir thought for a moment and shook his head, “I can’t say for sure, after all, I’m not Surtloch, I don’t know what he thinks.

But I think that guy might not have meant it that way. He just hoped that Silk could be more rational in battle and that hatred would occupy less of her heart.

After all, hatred is more suitable for making people stronger than fear, right? I once struggled with hatred for a long time. It was not pleasant, but it did make people stronger, and kept getting stronger...

Hatred can cloud a person's mind, which is actually the result of emotion suppressing rationality. Not only hatred, but all kinds of emotions can affect a person's judgment, such as ecstasy, panic, and burning anger.

According to Surtloch, to restrain emotions with reason is to prevent her from being swayed by emotions. This is a noble quality of a warrior. This guy really wants Silk to become stronger.

After all, a person driven by emotions is just a beast no matter how powerful he is. He has no rules, let alone wisdom.

Only those who restrain their emotions and make reasonable judgments at all times can be more difficult to deal with. This is not physical strength, but a strong mentality. "

At this point, Safire concluded: "In short, no matter what, Silk has gone astray. That's what I think, or maybe Surtloch is just a pervert. Anyway, I don't like it."

"I don't like it either. Silk has become very strange. She rejects me and resists me..." The little fairy hung her head, her voice full of grievance.

Saphir reached out and touched the small bump on the little guy's head, causing it to gasp in pain. "Then correct her. It's not difficult."

"If you hadn't been so harsh on me, I might have thanked you." The fairy turned away and didn't look at Saphir.

Ying looked thoughtful, and no one knew what she was thinking about.

Saphir stepped forward and put his arms around her neck: "Don't imitate her, that's something only a fool would do."

"Let's go upstream, walk through all the cliffs, and trace back the old things that she has engraved in her heart, then you will understand the truth of everything." The fairy suggested.

The three began to go upstream, and soon the first scene appeared. It was a beach with a simple painting on it. Si Ke Ke stood beside the tide, quietly looking at the simple painting. The cold moonlight sprinkled on her body, making her look like a fairy in heaven.

Seeing this scene, Ying held her breath unconsciously: "That's it! The painting I drew for Paimon! Why is it in Sicock's memory? I remember that we went to Mondstadt after we finished the painting that day, which was also the day..."

"You met Wendy and you met me," Safire added.

She was a player before, so she knew what happened that day.
