Original God's Dark Priest

Under Cassiodore's stunned gaze, Ada skillfully collected all the books floating in the air.

Seeing Ada's skilled appearance, Cassiodoro opened his mouth, wanting to say something but didn't say it.

Generally speaking, it would be better if these books could be collected and passed down instead of being left here to see the light of day.

But... why do I feel so uncomfortable? Are these two women robbers?

Saphir didn't care what it thought. She was a bandit. She used to negotiate and trade with others just to get something, but in the end, she didn't seem to make much. (Mondstadt people: Bullshit! Tiger King.jpg)

But this time it was different. Lemuria had been destroyed, so wouldn't the things here be ownerless? Since no one wanted them, she had picked them up!

Don’t ask, I picked it up.

Finally, after packing up all the books, Ada and Saphir came to Cassiodore. Saphir raised his hand and wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead: "Okay, let's go."

Cassiodoro blinked, was stunned for a moment, and finally said: "Let's not let irrelevant things hold us back. We still have important things to do..."

"Well! What you said makes sense!" Safir immediately clenched her right fist and hit the palm of her left hand. She had an idea.

As she spoke, she took out the Cave Heaven Pass and began to mobilize people. Soon, a large number of advance teams of the Fatui appeared in the fairy mist.

Without waiting for them to arrive, Saphir spoke directly to Zoya, who was leading the group: "Climb the sky."

"I understand!" Zoya stood at attention and saluted to show that she received it.

Although Zoya was not a subordinate of Safir at the beginning, strictly speaking she was a subordinate of Dotore. After Dotore's death, his subordinates were incorporated into Safir's command. Over time, she was led like other people and acquired this habit.

Zoya is already a mature porter.

After giving Zoya instructions, Saphir continued to move forward with Ada and Cassiodora.

Cassiodoro looked back almost every few steps, and began to doubt whether it was the right choice to ask these two people to solve the problem.

But... since it has let the wolf into the house, the consequences are no longer something it can control.

After walking through the entrance corridor, the scene inside the castle finally came into the eyes of Saphir and Ada.

Looking at the area in front of her that should be the hall, Ada sighed: "This castle is quite large. There must be a lot of good things hidden in it."

"It's okay. Zoya's search ability is still trustworthy. With her around, basically nothing will be missed." Although Saphir doesn't like Dotore, he still trusts Zoya very much.

Being able to work under Dottore for such a long time requires some ability.

Walking up the stairs to the second floor, Cassiodoro said, "Many people used to live here, and there were more than one person."

"Oh?" Saphir was interested again. "Besides people, have other things lived there?"

"You..." Cassiodoro wanted to ask her why she wasn't afraid, but then he thought that strong people are generally brave, so it's not surprising.

It jumped onto a table and placed one of its front paws on a box. The box looked unusual, emitting a luster that only belonged to treasure.

Seeing the box, Saphir raised an eyebrow: "What is this?"

"This is a music box, but it's not just any music box. It has more functions than ordinary music boxes," Cassiodoro said, seeming somewhat proud. "With this, even someone who knows nothing about music can harness the power of movement. We'll need it later."

Ada scratched her head and asked, "Does your Excellency need this? I remember that you are quite accomplished in music."

Safire reached out to stop her from continuing and explained, "It has nothing to do with musical attainments. It means that from now on, this thing is mine."

"Meow meow?" Cassiodore was confused again. The style of this hero...isn't it a little bit wrong?

Saphir reached out and picked up the music box, looking at it carefully. It was indeed an exquisite toy.

She just played with it briefly and put it back without putting it away.

Cassiodoro looked at her actions with some surprise: "I thought you would put it away directly. Judging from your behavior just now..."

Saphir chuckled and shook his head: "Are you trying to say that I'm greedy for money?"

Cassiodoro neither admitted nor denied it, but just looked at Saphir quietly.

Saphir was not annoyed, but just stretched out his right hand and gently stroked the music box.

The material of this music box is somewhat special. It feels warm to the touch, not cold, and has a soft and smooth touch. It is an excellent material and is indeed very collectible.

She didn't explain, but asked, "How do you use this thing?"

"Just now, we took the strings from the harp in the ruins. That is the music score recorded. As long as we load it into the music box, the music box will start playing automatically." Cassiodoro spoke concisely and Saphir understood immediately.

She took out the chip-like string, found a socket under the music box, and inserted the string.

After the strings were inserted, the lid of the music box slowly opened, revealing the structure inside.

There are six buttons inside the music box, probably corresponding to six different movements. Now the first button has been lit, indicating that this movement has been activated.

Safire pressed the button and a soft and crisp sound rang out. The sound was very smooth and the timbre was somewhat similar to that of a music box. The tune was very nice and reminded people of the joy of harvest and the cool autumn breeze.

Soon, the short music score was finished, the music box closed automatically, and the strings were pulled out.

"It's a very cheerful song. The person who composed it is very talented." After putting away the strings, Safire did not hesitate to give his praise.

Cassiodoro was visibly relieved. "Great! The music box is not damaged and can function normally."

"Don't you know if it can be used? Such a risky action is not wise." Ada frowned slightly. The reason why she followed Saphir wholeheartedly was because she always handled everything with ease.

No matter how dangerous and difficult the task is, she will always have a certain control over the overall situation. Ada likes the feeling of being in control, and that's why she likes Saphir.

But Cassiodore's brainless adventure was obviously difficult for Ada to accept.

Cassiodoro explained softly, "I'm just not completely sure. After all, many things can't be judged solely from the outside, right?"

It looked at Safir. In its opinion, someone in a high position like Safir should be able to understand what it meant.

Saphir said nothing, but took out something that looked like a bell.

Under Cassiodor's puzzled gaze, the bell floated up by itself, swayed gently, and the same tune as before began to sound.

This made Cassiodoro unable to help but open his heterochromatic cat eyes wide.

"The Cleansing Bell, my work, is just a simple performance, and it can do the same. So, whether the music box is intact or not, we can keep moving forward." Saphir naturally knew that the perfect preparations that Ada wanted could not be achieved every time.

The risky behavior that Cassiodoro mentioned is actually always inevitable. After all, few people can predict the future. Even Withefnir, who has the ability to speak, cannot assert the existence of Saphir, right?

Omniscience and omnipotence do not exist, and crossing the river by feeling the stones is the norm. Safire has always been able to control the overall situation only by relying on his foresight of the plot and the habit of making some arrangements in advance.

If she really encounters some unexpected events and has to take risks, she will not hesitate.

But now, of course, she couldn't refute Ada's words and agree with Cassiodora. People of different distances should be treated differently. Of course, she couldn't lie with her eyes open, so she chose to use the dust-cleansing bell instead of the music box to tell the two of them.

Even if the music box was broken, she still had a way to control the music, and unnecessary arguments would not continue.

Ada nodded. She knew that her thoughts were a little too idealistic and that her master was giving her face.

So she simply changed the subject: "Okay, so what should we do next?"

Cassiodoro didn't intend to continue the previous topic. He thought for a moment and then said, "In any case, the disordered music must be here. If we can find its location, perhaps we can recover the souls of the townspeople who were taken away."

"In other words, there is no clue at the moment and we have to conduct a carpet search?" Saphir heard the hidden meaning.

Cassiodora turned his head away awkwardly, not daring to look at her: “Not entirely. According to my memory, there are many wonderful rooms in this castle. Maybe we can go and investigate them first.

In addition, there is a magical stage in the hall at the center of the castle, although no performances are performed there now...

But in the past, it was an entrance that led to deeper underwater. The power of the music still remains there, and we need to confirm whether any abnormal changes have occurred."

When Saphir heard Cassiodoro mention a deeper place, the first thing that came to his mind was the Old Sea.

But since Cassiodora didn't say anything, she didn't bother to ask any more questions. She directly called Zoya and handed her the Dust Cleansing Bell: "There are several magical movements in this castle. Use it to capture them and bring them to me when you find them."

Afterwards, he gave the music box to Ada and asked Ada to take a group of people to look for it.

There is strength in numbers. Now that you have brought your subordinates here, wouldn’t it be a shame not to make good use of them?

Soon, an entire advance team conducted a carpet search of the castle. They first picked up the books left everywhere, and then sent them into the Chen Ge Pot according to categories.

In the Dust Song Pot, Noel had already received instructions and took his men to assist the people outside in transporting the books.

The books sent into the Dust Song Pot were soon transported back to the Abyss Palace and handed over to Valentina. Afterwards, they were taken over by Borisova's people, who began to carry out restoration, maintenance, translation and photocopying work.

The ones that had been maintained were placed by Valentina in the treasures section of the Supreme Library, while the translated copies were placed in the general category of the library, waiting to be read.

Soon, half a day passed, and Yuanxia Palace was still busy in full swing. After all, there were too many books to be collected this time, and Valentina and the others would probably be busy for a while.

As for Saphir, she has already obtained the rest of the music captured by Zoya and Aida.

After returning to Chen Ge Hu for dinner, Saphir was kind enough to bring a portion of Vitality Cat Rice for Cassiodoro.

Looking at the cat food that Saphir brought, Cassiodor's eyes widened: "You have this kind of skill?"

This energetic cat food is actually quite attractive to humans and not too delicious, but it is hard for cats to resist.

Safir placed the cat food in front of Cassiodore and watched it eat it voraciously.

Speaking of which, it was quite accidental that I got the recipe for this energetic cat meal. The reason was that Xiao Gong had been staying at home for too long and began to miss the days of traveling to Fontainebleau.

So she persuaded Kamisato Ayaka, and the two of them hit it off and went out to travel.

I don’t know what these two girls were thinking. They were so impulsive that they insisted on going on a pilgrimage to the holy land. Where is this holy land they chose?

The chosen location is Qinglai Island, which is known as the most tragic battlefield site of Inazuma so far.

Yes, it was the Qinglai Island where Saphir was hacked half to death by General Lei Dian.

The Qinglai Island was almost completely destroyed, so naturally there wasn't much to see. However, the two of them found the Qianlai Shrine by chance, and then met the black cat Qinzi there.

Qinzi hoped that they could help make some cat rice for the kittens, but they didn't know how to make it. After some contact, she learned from Fischl that someone from the Adventurer's Association had obtained a recipe for cat rice from Kinan Restaurant.

After several twists and turns, this cat rice recipe was included in the recipe collection of Chen Gehu Canteen.

When Saphir first saw this thing in the recipe collection, she was suffering from paranoia. After all, she was tricked by Fucaros in Fontaine and turned into a cat for a while. Now she saw this in the recipe collection of the Dust Song Pot Restaurant.

What's this for? Who should I call?

Fortunately, she was not an impulsive, irritable or petty person, and after understanding what had happened, she didn't say anything more.

However, she still remembered this energetic cat fan firmly in her mind. There was no way, the impression was too deep.

I happened to meet Cassiodoro today, so Safir suddenly had an idea and asked someone to make one and bring it over.

After all, it was a meal tailor-made for cats. Cassiodore ate it all in one breath. Seeing this, Saphir began to wonder if he could resist the temptation if he encountered this cat food when he turned into a cat?

The answer is obviously no, because at that time she didn't even have self-awareness, let alone cat food, she had even eaten cat food.

Shaking his head and casting aside all distracting thoughts, Saphir walked onto the stage below.

Cassiodoro, who burped after his meal, naturally followed suit.

"You look nostalgic?" Saphir glanced down at Cassiodore, who was obviously lost in his memories.

Cassiodoro sighed and shook his head: "It's all in the past. It doesn't make sense to miss it or not.

Instead of thinking about the past, let’s look at the present…

I could smell a lingering hint of discord in the air, as if some unsettling presence had visited this place.

But to be more specific, I'm afraid we need to play the music here first to confirm it."

"A cacophony of harmony?" Safire looked at the wall in the background of the stage. "The music score... is on this wall?"

She stared at the wall, at the shifting patterns, trying to find any discord.

But unfortunately, the score is music and cannot be distinguished with the naked eye. In other words, she has to play it first to find the discordant parts and then try to correct them.
