Original God's Dark Priest

Following Safir's awkward greeting, the two people standing not far away immediately turned their heads and looked over here, and discovered the three people coming over.

"Oh, isn't this my good sister, good partner, and good partner's good partner!" Navia spoke first, then frowned again, "What tiger skin cake, can you avoid calling people by your nickname?"

Saphir said nonchalantly: "Nicknames are meaningless if we don't call them to their faces, right?"

Clorinde didn't react much to this, she just watched quietly.

Although Navia complained, she didn't take it to heart. She said to Clorinde happily, "Look, I told you that something good will happen when you travel today, right? The divination column in the Steambird newspaper is sometimes quite accurate."

"You are lucky." Clorinde didn't particularly believe in divination, but she was willing to coax Navia a little.

Saphir looked at the two of them, then looked around, as if he was looking for something.

Navia seemed to have read her mind: "Myles and Silver are not here, so you should let me, the boss, enjoy the pleasure of acting alone occasionally, right?"

"You are acting alone?" Saphir pointed at Clorinde beside her, obviously having a different opinion on the word alone.

Navia smiled awkwardly: "Oh, I can't take them everywhere."

After what happened at Fontaine, Myles and Silver had witnessed Navia's growth and transformation, so they gradually began to let her act freely and were not as worried as before.

In addition, Fontaine had experienced so many things and the Thorn Rose Society had a lot to do, so the two people were assigned to do other things.

Although he would still follow Navia when he had time on weekdays, it just happened that today they both had their own things to do, so Navia chose to go with Clorinde.

Navia didn't dwell on the topic and started to greet him with full of energy: "Are you also traveling here to take advantage of Liyue's festival? Happy Lantern Festival!"

Clorinde also congratulated: "Happy holidays."

Ying, Safir and the other two naturally did not lose their manners and followed suit, wishing everyone a happy holiday.

After a brief greeting, Little Paimeng was a little curious: "But you said you were going on a trip, so why are you guys in the mountains? There aren't many people here.

Moreover, the shouting we just heard from below...could it be...Navia?"

"Oh! As expected of you, you can hear it from such a distance!" Navia exclaimed.

"It can only be Navia, otherwise could it be Clorinde? Standing on the mountain and shouting macaron recipes or something... this is not something Clorinde would do." Saphir made no secret of the fact that he felt Navia was unreliable most of the time.

Hearing this, Navia smiled a little embarrassedly.

Saphir added: "Of course, your voice is still very recognizable. Among the people I know, it is almost the loudest one. It is the kind that can be heard without any effort."

"That's right! Navia's voice is too loud!" Paimon also said.

Navia was very satisfied with this statement, and raised her head complacently: "Yeah, boss, this is how I am!"

"Indeed, it can be considered an advantage." Clorinde said this, as if this was the only shining point in Navia.

Paimeng didn't hear the sarcasm in the words, and agreed, "Yes, yes! Loud voices make communication easier!" After she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered and immediately shook her head, "No, that's not the point, right? Why are we shouting on this deserted mountain?

What almonds... bubble orange... is this a secret code?"

Clorinde explained seriously: "No, it's not a code, it's just meaningless words."

Seeing that Clorinde was about to categorize her behavior as meaningless, Navia immediately couldn't sit still and came up to add: "And very meaningful yelling.

Isn’t it often the case that when people climb mountains, after going through untold hardships to reach the top of the mountain, facing the vast beauty, it is difficult to suppress the urge to express emotions out loud…”

"I see. It turns out that this is a very meaningful form of lyricism." Ying sighed.

Saphir scratched her head. Although... was this really meaningful? But she still didn't say anything. After all, she felt that it would draw hatred if she attacked him at this time.

Navia was very pleased with Ying's compliment and nodded immediately: "Yes! That's right, my partner understands me!

I was afraid of disturbing others, so I asked the local residents of Qiaoying Village in advance. They said it was okay, as climbers like to shout a few times at the top of the mountain and everyone is used to it.

So you see, in a person’s life, he or she will have to shout from the mountaintops a few times.”

Her words were very generalizing, so Clorinde couldn't listen any more: "It depends on your personality. I wouldn't do that."

Blueberry Pie is a calm person.

Navia was refuted and immediately tried to make amends: "Don't you ever want to do something for no reason to relieve stress?"

"I think it's okay. If I'm under a lot of pressure, I can still go hunting." Clorinde said.

Safir thought for a moment and said, "It's mainly because Clorinde's work is quite passionate, and she often has to fight with others. The pressure is released at that time, right?"

She herself did not realize how combative her words were.

Clorinde's mouth twitched, "Well... Duel itself should be a very stressful thing, and it shouldn't be used as a means of releasing stress. But... well, if it's you, then it's not surprising."

Ying was silent, Navia was silent, even Paimon was silent.

It took Saphir a while to react. "What the hell? Do you think I'm a battle maniac?"

"I didn't say that." Clorinde turned her eyes away unnaturally, her face full of guilt.

"Roar?" Saphir narrowed his eyes and moved closer. Clorinde unconsciously began to lean back, as if this could help keep a distance.

Everyone present knew what she was thinking because they were thinking the same thing.

Seeing that the atmosphere between her sisters was becoming weird, Navia coughed quickly to change the subject: "Ahem, well, do you want to try it too? Just shout anything, it's very stress-relieving!"

Her words really attracted everyone's attention. Paimon thought about it and said, "Well... me? I have enough food and clothes every day, and it seems that I don't have any pressure that needs to be relieved."

Ying put one hand on her waist and said in a somewhat cocky tone: "I am a strong forbearance expert!"

"Ah?" Navia was confused for a moment, then laughed out loud, "Hahaha, isn't this an excuse that you can't save face? If you ask me, there's no need to be so reserved! Just now, Funina did the same thing."

"Who?" Ying thought she had heard wrongly.

Paimon also blinked: "She? Did she come to Qiaoying Manor as well?"

Saphir was not surprised by this: "Didn't that guy perform in Liyue Harbor a few days ago? If he was going back to Fontaine, it wouldn't be strange for him to pass by here."

“Yes, we came here this time to actually take her back. The people from the Aurelie Theater returned to Fontaine after the performance because some of them needed to go back to recuperate.

But Furninna did not come back with them, but chose to play in Liyue for a few more days and planned to go back today. "Claulinde briefly explained, "In fact, we climbed up this mountain because we heard someone shouting earlier."

Navia nodded and said, "Well, we vaguely heard someone shouting, 'Help! What should I do?' and so on, so we hurried over.

Unexpectedly, I ran into Miss Funina, whose face was red, and ran down the mountain in a flash.

Clorinde nodded. "Ah, I remember now. She should have shouted: Help! What should I do with the script?"

"Ah? So you heard clearly what she shouted! Why didn't you tell me earlier? I really thought someone was killed!" Navia couldn't help but complain.

Clorinde crossed her arms and said nonchalantly, "She's going to come up to check the situation anyway, so I'll help her save some face."

Safir thought this was a bit strange: "But you've revealed everything, haven't you?"

Clorinde coughed lightly and pretended not to hear.

Paimon also understood the cause and effect of the matter, and felt complicated: "Uh...it seems that you caught her while she was secretly relieving her stress...

Furninna probably didn’t expect… no, she definitely didn’t expect to be bumped into by you guys here…”

Saphir thought this guy was so stupid that he was cute: "I said I was here to pick her up, how could I not be caught...Does she think she gets up very early every day?

So, there are only two of you here today?"

"No, Mr. Villette is here too, but he probably won't stay for long. I saw him planning to go back at the bottom of the mountain just now.

Strictly speaking, it's the two of us who picked her up." Navia thought for a moment and said so.

This news was like a bombshell, and Paimeng was shocked: "Eh? Did Villette come to Qiaoying Manor too?"

Ying let out a breath: "Ninety-nine percent of Fengdan's combat power is here."

Saphir chuckled, "Wherever that guy goes, he has 99% of Fontaine's combat power. After all, there's no comparison between a human and a dragon king."

"That's true. I just don't know if he is still here now. If he is, maybe I can meet him again." Ying nodded in agreement.

Navia shook her head slightly: "I don't know about that. I heard him say that he only planned to stay here for half a day and then go back. After all, he is a very busy man."

Clorinde added: "My employer rarely takes vacations, so being able to take half a day off is a great improvement that deserves praise."

Safir thought for a moment and said, "I remember he likes tea very much. Maybe he came here specifically to buy tea."

"What you said reminded me that Charlotte recently published an article about Liyue tea. Maybe he is just like Clorinde, who wanted to come here to buy tea after reading that article." Navia's speculation is not unreasonable.

Clorinde shook her head upon hearing this and said, "That's a completely different situation. I was invited to accompany you to pick up Funina, and buying tea was just a side job."

Safir was a little speechless: "So you picked up all the people and ended up picking up no one?"

I don’t even know where Funina is right now. Is this how you pick someone up?

Navia said confidently: "Oh, she was caught in an embarrassing situation. She should be given some time alone to adjust herself. Anyway, it's safe here and nothing will happen."

“That’s true.” Safir totally agreed with this statement. Liyue should be the safest country, no doubt about it.

Paimon was a little curious: "Come to think of it, you Fontaine people really like to drink tea."

"Oh, it's not that I want to drink. I lost the bet with Leosley and I have to give him something." Clorinde's expression was calm and frank.

But Saphir smelled a sour smell? Was it an illusion?

Ying was also a little surprised: "Is there such a thing?"

Seeing that they all looked inquiring, Clorinde clicked her tongue and said, "It was just a casual bet. Leosley made the bet based on his feelings and didn't care much about what he won.

He wouldn't mind if I picked some mint for him on the roadside, so just buy something."

"Oh, if only he could be so casual when talking about business." Navia was jealous. As the president of the Thorn Rose Society, she had three levels in her mind, representing the difficulty of business partners. The first level was the God of Wealth: Saphir level. The second level was an ordinary business partner, and the third level was a debt collector: Leosli level.

Saphir frowned and thought carefully: "Maybe it has something to do with people?"

"What does it have to do with people?" Navia was quite concerned about this issue.

Just when Safir was about to explain, Clorinde reached out and covered her mouth. Using her height and length, Clorinde held Safir in her arms, making her unable to utter a word.

There was still a calm expression on his face: "Nothing, let's talk about something else."

"Huh? You look so weird." Navia tilted her head, feeling that something was wrong, but she didn't think much about it. After all, her boss was indeed slow in some aspects.

So, she was just a little bit surprised and shook her head and said, "So, the tea you bought seems to be a local specialty. What's it called? Oh, I heard Mr. Villette talk about it before..."

"Songluo Fairy Buds? Ten boxes at half price?" Ying suddenly asked.

Navia nodded immediately: "Yes, that's it!"

Paimon looked at Clorinde in surprise: "You didn't really buy ten boxes at once?"

Clorinde lifted Saphir in her arms and said, "Do I look like someone who would fall into a consumer trap? And... uh... that store seems to be your business?"

Saphir was stunned for a moment, then he realized that it must be the work of Katharina and her brother. Katharina and Nicola grew up in Fontaine. Clorinde had seen them before, so it was not surprising that she recognized them.

Thinking of this, Saphir broke free from Clorinde's arms and said, "That is indeed my business. The consumer trap of singles is not my idea. Don't tarnish my innocence."

"I hope so." Clorinde didn't believe it anyway. Saphir always fell down when she walked outside because her feet were too slippery. She couldn't believe what she said.
