Original God's Dark Priest

“I have always believed that even if falling leaves do not come from the same tree, they will feel a certain closeness when they meet.

We are both falling like meteors and drifting like travelers. She noticed your presence, but after a moment of hesitation, she chose to leave silently. "The fairy spoke slowly, slowly narrating the past and her mood at that time.

Ying was a little confused: "Why?"

As soon as she asked the question, she realized that it was a stupid question. She should have understood from the beginning that Silk was unwilling to have any connection with anyone.

So this scene is actually just a microcosm of her life. She has actively cut off countless opportunities to communicate with others.

Seeing Ying suddenly fall silent, Xiao Xianling understood: "It seems that you have already noticed. She is a stowaway in this world and does not want to be involved in the cause and effect here. But the reason why she made such a choice is also due to something that happened earlier."

This so-called "something" was known to everyone present.

Without dwelling on this topic any further, the group continued upstream along the river and soon arrived at the next location.

Along with the picture came a male voice: "You are qualified to control power. From today on, I will not teach you anything.

You can't become a qualified warrior just by imitating. I give you fangs, and you must learn to hunt on your own."

Then, Silk's voice also rang out: "Master, do you want me to act alone and travel outside?"

“That’s right, go meet new friends and start your own journey. Put away the broken past and create a new future.

We can still connect with each other through the abyss. But one day in the future, I will turn everything you have worked hard to rebuild into ashes, just like the disaster that has never disappeared from your memory. "Surtrochi replied.

Even Saphir couldn't help but frown after hearing this.

After a few seconds, she spoke: "I have to admit that when it comes to torturing a person's heart, Surtloch can be said to be the best."

The whispers in my ear continued, and Silkock's questioning voice rang out: "Why... do this?"

"I have said that fear is the secret of human evolution. You have tasted loss, and you know what it means to be terribly afraid.

However, every living thing has the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm. One day, the pain will become dull and the fear will become tasteless.

So now, I will give you an indelible fear. Either you will experience your childhood nightmare again in fear, or you will try your best to find a way to defeat me. "Sultrochi and Silkock's conversation came to an abrupt end here.

Everything is clear.

Saphir raised the corners of her mouth, but quickly gave up. She sighed and said, "Just like what I experienced before, every night, I recalled those painful memories over and over again, just to pick up fresh hatred again and again.

Every day, I will hate him more than the day before, until I rip his heart out."

Ying looked at Safir and remembered the snow at Xiangzui Slope. At that time, Safir probably felt relieved.

"But Silk is obviously frightened. She refuses to communicate with anyone and refuses to establish contact with other people. Again, such a choice will not save anyone, and it will not even help her on her path to becoming stronger. It will only add to her pain." Saphir saw clearly that this was an example of throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Looking at the familiar figure of Surt Lochi, Ying recalled the battle of the Star Devouring Whale. Sure enough, that afterimage was Surt Lochi.

The fairy added: "That's what Silkcock's master, the Evil Knight Surtloch, used to look like."

"Once?" Ying was stunned. "Does he have many appearances?"

This time it was Saphir who answered her: “Do you think that appearance still has any meaning for such a person?

Let’s not talk about anything else, just take Zhongli for example, this old guy’s image is not static, sometimes he wants to change his face, change his body shape, it’s just a matter of thought.”

"Are you like this too?" Ying suddenly became curious, "Why don't you... change your look?"

Saphir waved his hand casually: "Because I'm used to this body, it's too troublesome to switch back and forth."

Having said that, the main issue involved is the question of reality.

Not many people know what Zhongli, Wendy and the others really look like, but Saphir is very clear that their current images have been changed and are not their original appearance.

But Saphir was different. Her current appearance was her true self, the best state to exert her own strength. If she wanted to change her appearance, be taller or have a fuller figure, it was all possible, but... she felt that it was simply deceiving.

It’s okay to deceive others, but don’t deceive yourself. You know what she is like.

Thinking of something unpleasant, Saphir immediately changed the subject: "People like us can be beasts, humans, or even indescribable monsters."

"Yes, as you have seen, he uses the abyss as armor. This is the appearance he often uses when traveling in the starry sea." The fairy gave a simple explanation, and with Saphir's explanation, Ying already understood it completely.

At this time, she also completely understood what Safire said and why Safire said that Silk had gone astray.

Surt'Loch obviously wanted her to get close to the world and then use it as a threat. As a result, the silly girl Silk completely closed herself off and stayed alone for thousands of years.

Thinking of what Silk said, we should follow the path that Surtloch had taken and find a way to defeat him. Ying wondered if he had any doubts. Was Surtloch like this before?

Considering the title of the Five Great Sinners, Yingzhen didn't think that the former Evil Knight was a lone wolf. At least people like the Prophet and Golden Rhinedort had traveled with him.

And he could send her to Teyvat, and even persuaded Alice and Su...

Is Surtrock just a socially insane person? How can he be like Silk?

So silly girl, you really took the wrong path, right?

The more Ying thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case.

Just as Ying was lost in thought, the fairy whispered, "I'll tell you something, the real Evil Knight is very scary."

Saphir shrugged. "How scary can it be? Destroying a galaxy with a wave of my hand? I'm not exaggerating. When I was at my peak, the angel army under my command was also a resounding presence throughout the universe. I ruled countless galaxies, and it was no problem for me to destroy several galaxy clusters with just a thought."

Facing these words, Xiao Xianling was somewhat speechless. She had never seen the kind of great power that Saphir was talking about. What did it mean to destroy several galaxies at will? She couldn't imagine it.

"But you can't do that now, right?" The little fairy simply started from reality.

Saphir couldn't refute this. Destroy the galaxy? Now she even has trouble exploding stars.

Thinking of this, she felt helpless again. The world level was too low and could not withstand such a powerful force. Perhaps this was why Surtloch chose to leave.

Among the five sinners, she only knew Surtroch and Rhinedot. She didn't know about the others, but she knew something about Rhinedot.

After devouring the Ruler of Life Naberis, the two merged and gained the power of one of the Four Kage. Rhinedot is undoubtedly one of the top existences in this world.

And because the power of the Four Shadows comes from the laws of nature, they will not be rejected by the world. This is also a legitimate way for Rhinedort to become stronger.

But Surtrloch is different. His path to becoming stronger depends entirely on the abyss. It can be said that he is at two extremes from Rhinedort. Therefore, Surtrloch's power is mostly unacceptable to the world, which reminds her of her "final ban".

Her thoughts on Seraph mode had almost reached their peak, but she was unable to bring them into play. Breaking through the blockade by force would lead to irreversible consequences. Perhaps, she should consider going outside the world.

Leave this cage called Teyvat, go outside, find new opportunities and room for growth.

Saphir immediately decided to go back to Winter Solstice after obtaining the Captain's Heart of the God of Fire, and then after unlocking the power of the Netherworld, he would try to go outside the world.

Of course, there were a lot of things to do at that time. She had to complete what she promised to Rosaline, and there were many other things waiting for her to accomplish.

These things will take a while to do.

"Only when you truly face him can you feel the absolute power that can crush everything." said the little fairy.

Saphir began to look forward to fighting with Surtloch. As for strength, she was not bad, so she could give it a try.

The fairy didn't notice the flash of fighting spirit in her eyes. She turned around and looked at the river beside her: "Keep going forward. Let me see... We are almost halfway there."

The next memory is of Silkcock as a child.

At this time, she had not lost her limbs yet and was bandaging herself with bandages. There was a bonfire burning in front of her and a sword was stuck in the ground beside her.

A hint of calmness had already begun to appear on the little girl's cute and pretty face. The time was easy to determine: it was after she had experienced the disaster and had just started training with Surtrock.

"I've reconnected your broken wrist. Tomorrow you'll have to double your training workload." Surtloch's voice came, and the cold words made the young Silkock tremble.

How could a child of her age endure such training? Her hands were broken and she had no chance to rest.

However, she just bit her lip and nodded slowly. She must have experienced similar things many times.

Sure enough, Surtloch's ruthless voice sounded again: "You didn't cry this time, very good. The weak often hope to arouse sympathy with tears, which is the most useless idea."

"Can I ask a question? Master...why did you save me?" Si Ke Ke didn't think about those meaningless things, but was simply puzzled by the man in front of her who saved her.

"I've always felt that maybe I shouldn't have survived... Then I wouldn't have to think about the fire all the time, and I wouldn't have to be like this..." Sicock really didn't understand. Surtrock had no grudges against those people, so there was no need for him to do this.

Si Ke Ke, who was rescued, felt that it would be better for her to die. There was no way for her to get revenge because everyone had already been killed. Living would only make her more miserable, but she could not die.

Because she is the only survivor, this life no longer belongs to her. She carries the life of an entire planet on her shoulders, and she cannot die.

Surtloch could naturally hear the despair of his apprentice, but he did not intend to comfort him, and only said calmly: "I saved you for my own purpose.

It has been too long since I have tasted a full-out battle. Those outstanding talents are like the sand I tread on, and even fate bows to me.

Therefore, I will do my best to train you and use all means to train you. I hope that one day, you will be able to bring me some surprises. "

Hearing this, Saphir was speechless: "Is he sick? Is he dead?"

"You ask me?" Ying also felt that Surtrochi was somewhat mentally ill.

In memory, Silkock spoke his answer: "But I don't want to swing my sword at you!"

"Your thoughts are not important now." Surtloch was still as indifferent as ever. "The cries of the weak cannot make even a single wave in the vast sea of stars. You should have a deep understanding of this."

"I understand...Master." Silkock's voice was low, and he was obviously hit hard.

After reading this memory, Saphir said to Ying: "Did you see it? Although Surtloch is a psychopath, what he said is indeed correct. In this world, whoever has the bigger fist is right.

Even now, Si Ke Ke had to be coerced and forced into this state. Remember, only by being strong can you win the respect of others. It is the greatest folly to rely on the mercy of the strong to survive. "

Ying nodded in agreement. She was extremely glad that the person she met was Saphir, and also glad that Saphir did not become too extreme because of his past experiences. Overall, she lived a very happy life. It would be even better if she had someone like Surtrock to guide her.

Ying couldn't help but shiver and didn't dare to even think about it.

"From that day on, the blood-soaked training had no end, and the feeling of exhaustion and emptiness followed her every day. After an unknown amount of time, her talent blossomed and she was finally able to control her inner emotions like her master.

How to put it…” After a slight hesitation, the fairy tried to describe it all, “Her heart is still filled with human sorrows and joys, but all emotions must be allowed by reason.

By the way, this is when she started to resemble the Silkwood you know.”

"This is not a good thing," Safire commented. "Everyone's emotions are different. Some people are born indifferent, some people are born passionate. This one-size-fits-all approach of discarding all emotions is just lazy.

It's too rigid. To use your own standards to demand others is, in addition to being tyrannical and ignorant, I really can't think of any other adjective to describe it."

Ying also shook her head in disapproval. Although she didn't say anything, it was obvious that she agreed with what Saphir said.

Silk was taught the wrong way, and Surtlodge is just an old bastard.

The question she still has in her mind is what the disaster was that caused Si Ke Ke to constantly compromise.

The answer to this question is probably at the end.

While thinking this, the fairy said, "We are almost at the end, and I am a little reluctant to leave. Let's go? Accompany me for the last leg."

When saying this, the little guy's words were filled with a kind of determination to face death head-on.

To Ying and Saphir, it was like a dying person's last words. Was that calmness in facing death an illusion?
