Original God's Dark Priest

Yuanxia Palace, Dragon Hunting Weapons Research Institute.

"The data analysis of the hunting horn is complete. It's just as you said. This thing contains a trace of strange energy..." Holding a report in his hand, Oropus showed a surprised expression.

Saphir wasn't surprised at all and shrugged. "Can you analyze specifically what this energy is? I don't want to use any dangerous weapons."

The hunting horn is a more auxiliary and functional dragon hunting weapon developed by Saphir. It has an official name among the weapons that Saphir promised to forge for Inazuma: Iyanagi.

That’s right, it’s ranked first among all dragon hunting weapons. It’s the first weapon fused with the power of Seraph. As the weapon in the entire series with “life” as its proposition, the importance of the hunting horn far exceeds that of other weapons.

Its most important ability is not simply to kill enemies, but even ordinary people can heal the wounded by playing it. This is its most powerful aspect.

However, after forging this prototype, Saphir felt a special energy from the hunting horn. Admittedly, she successfully defeated Remus with this inexplicable energy, but she would never allow such uncontrollable factors to appear in the official weapon.

The power of the Seraph is magical. Who knows what kind of uncontrollable mutation will occur to the hunting horn after the fusion of the two energies?

Whether good or bad, it is ultimately uncontrollable. Such works are failures and cannot be used to justify film production.

What Ying needs is forging skills and blueprints, standard weapons, not special products produced under extremely accidental circumstances.

Oropus had anticipated Saphir's desire to thoroughly investigate this strange energy. He hesitated for a moment, then said, "I had a hunting horn rebuilt, and nothing similar happened this time. This proves it's just an isolated incident."

"Has this never happened with other weapons?" Safir asked.

Orobas nodded and said, “As for the weapons that have been delivered so far, you were personally in charge of the delivery of Suaki Tsume and Oyama Tsume. You know the details better than I do.

The last time Narukami came, she left her power behind. We used it to forge the Mitake Narukami to replace the ordinary katana used by Yomiuri, and nothing unexpected happened.

There is also Shina Touyan, forged with the help of Barbatos, who is also very stable in the hands of Kujo Sara.

As for the insect-controlling stick used by Fushe, it lacks the core of the Grass God and has not yet undergone the fusion of divine patterns, so its ability to become intelligent is still uncertain.

The only problem is the hunting horn."

Safir fell into deep thought. Was it really just an accident?

The hunting horn had a strange sound, but it shouldn't have seriously affected a demon with a deep understanding of music. She hadn't thought much about defeating Remus due to her emotional state, but when she recalled it later, she felt something was amiss.

It was obvious that Remus was in a state of great mental influence at that time, especially that sentence.

"Your victory does not mean you are right..."

Saphir murmured to herself, she even suspected that Remus suddenly knew something. But that was impossible.

How could a person who chooses to live in a small house because of failure and is obsessed with the past understand those things?

It was because of this doubt that she carefully studied the hunting horn and discovered something wrong.

There was an energy lingering in the hunting horn, like a leech, impossible to remove, which made her even more curious.

The hunting horn used before has been sealed for research. However, it is normal that Orobasi cannot produce much results after half a day.

She sighed and felt that she was a little impatient. She decided to wait for two more days to see the final result.

Thinking of this, she waved her hand: "Go do your thing, I'll think about it."

"Okay." Orobasi didn't say much. He was not a master in weapons research, but was better at genetic research.

Saphir's meaning was very clear, which was to let Orobas continue his research on dragon atavism.

After Oropus left, the office returned to silence, with only Saphir's fingers tapping on the table intermittently.

"Memory...mumbling...the power of the dragon...or previous experiences?" Saphir's thoughts kept wandering as she recited different words. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to her mind. When she was about to blurt out something, the door was knocked again.

His thoughts were interrupted, and Saphir frowned somewhat unhappily, but still said softly, "Please come in."

The person who came in was Valentina, holding an envelope in her hand: "Master Saphir, there is a letter for you."

"For me?" Saphir took it with some doubt, opened the envelope and started reading.

"Dear Aurora,

Hello everyone! It's been a while since we last met. How are you doing? I didn't want to write this letter, but after giving it some thought, I feel like I have something to say.

Our meeting seems like yesterday, and I still remember all the details, but I'm afraid our friendship as colleagues will end here.

I once told you that good and evil are not within my consideration, and I don’t care what the people around me think. I just want to find a home.

But... unfortunately, the Fatui are not my destiny. I have fulfilled what I promised the Queen, and it is time for me to leave.

After the Doctor's death, you inherited everything from him. I guess you will be arranged to capture me later. If it is you, I am willing to surrender, but I still hope that the next time we meet, we can have a drink and chat happily.

I'm not optimistic about the captain's mission this time. That man possesses a repressed mind far beyond the pale. If you reach Nata, don't stop him. Consider this my final request. Although you've always been reluctant to obey, this is the only thing I hope you'll consider carefully.

The Fatui's internal situation is not peaceful, and there are too many waves hidden that make it difficult to calm down. I still don't recommend that you stay here.

However, you already have the ability to deal with various difficulties and setbacks.

I won't waste any more time on nonsense. This time I wrote to you mainly to tell you that there is indeed trace of that person in Nordkale. I know you are worried about Alechino, so if you want, I will wait for you here.

Finally, I wonder if there are any omissions in my imitation of Liyue's wording? If so, please feel free to correct me.

Sincerely, Columbia."

Saphir read the contents of the letter quietly, and gradually, her eyes grew colder.

Valentina, who was standing in front of her, clearly felt the change in Safir's aura and couldn't help but shiver.

After finishing the letter, Saphir slapped the paper against his palm with a loud bang, his eyes filled with various emotions.

"Lord Safir?" It was the first time Valentina saw Safir like this, and she was a little scared.

When Safir heard the voice, he subconsciously looked up at Valentina, but he did not have time to subside the murderous intent in his eyes.

Stared at by Safir's cold gaze, Valentina felt her legs go weak and she was about to fall to the ground.

"You go down." Safir took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and let Valentina leave.

Valentina ran away as if she had been pardoned.

After she left, Saphir reread the letter and sighed: "Columbia... Is this your choice?

And that person…"

A name popped up in Saphir's mind: Moon Hunter, Lelir.

"So it's in Nordkale?" Saphir put away the letter silently. Columbia chose to leave the Fatui, but encountered some resistance, which means that she has not escaped yet.

Therefore, in the short term, Safir will not receive any missions to hunt down or retrieve the girl.

As for the captain mentioned in the letter, Safir frowned and thought, what could make Columbia not be optimistic about the captain but not want him to interfere?

The captain was obviously hiding something. Due to his aloof personality, he didn't interact much with other people. Even Safir had very limited understanding of the captain.

"It seems that it is necessary to go to Nata. In any case, I should ask him first so that I can have a better idea." Saphir made up his mind secretly.

Then came the thing that concerned her most, the doctor's death.

Saphir knew that modifying the World Tree would not change everyone's cognition. She just didn't expect that Columbia also had immunity. Is this guy of such a high status?

She admitted that the murderous intent she had just revealed was directed at Columbia. The matter of Dotorre was one of the biggest secrets for her. If someone revealed this in front of her, she would kill that person.

But then she changed her mind and felt that there was no need to take action against Columbia. This guy was about to leave the Fatui, so she would not care about some of the Fatui's internal affairs.

In this case, there is no need for Saphir to fight to the death. After all, the relationship between the girl and the doctor was not that good to begin with.

Although they don't engage in tit-for-tat confrontation, their daily politeness and distance are not fake.

Looking at the letter in his hand, Saphir suddenly raised a playful smile: "Columbia is not the type of person who would write to me, but she still wrote it. Did anyone give her any advice?

This wasn't a simple transfer of intelligence, but more like... a pledge of allegiance. A pledge from Sandoni, using Columbia as a bargaining chip.

Or is it a surrender letter? Do you think it's safer here? Ha, Sandoni, you... you are really a textbook example of tsundere behavior. "

Columbia has made it clear that she wants to leave the Fatui, so her next choice is crucial: support, opposition, or just watching from the sidelines. Different choices will inevitably lead to different results.

As for Saphir's own thoughts, she would rather the elf-like girl leave. The Fatui are a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones, and are not suitable for Columbia.

But if it is true as the other party said, the captain will do something terrible to Nata. If it only affects Nata, she would not use such a tone. So, does Columbia think that the captain will be in trouble?

That man who is as strong as a monster will encounter a crisis in Nata that is so serious that it may even cost his life?

If someone else said this, Saphir would just sneer and say, "What a joke! The captain is a Kanriya who is cursed with immortality. It would be great if the curse could be lifted so easily."

But considering the captain's feelings, Saphir felt that this was not impossible. What if the captain was really looking for a way to kill himself?

If that were the case, after losing the first seat, the old man would definitely make her make a choice, and many of the things that were originally the captain's responsibility would fall on her.

Therefore, the girl's stay or departure must be carefully considered. She represents the will of the second, fourth and eighth seats, and she absolutely cannot be ignored.

Considering Sandoni's attitude, Safire had no doubt that Sandoni would follow his side without thinking.

This made her opinion even more important. She couldn't remain silent on the matter.

But if he allowed Columbia to leave, he would probably end up in opposition to Rooster and the others.

But if you ask the other party to stay...

"That guy won't come back." Safire rejected the idea.

Thinking of this, she felt a little headache, and suddenly she began to understand the Clown and the Queen. The people under their command were all troublemakers, and she, Safir, was the biggest troublemaker.

What to do if you feel a little ashamed?

"Forget it! If it rains, it will rain. If my mother gets married, what can I do about it?" Safir snorted and gave up.

No matter whether the girl stays or leaves, she doesn’t care. She just wants to be an ordinary scientist, study her own things, and not get involved in other things.

Although he said irresponsible words, he had actually made the decision. Since he couldn't keep her, he would let her go. The girl wanted to leave, and the Dark Priest agreed. Not only the Dark Priest agreed, but the servants, ladies, skirmishers, and puppets all agreed!

You rooster has a problem with the rich? Sorry, that doesn't work with me!

Young Master? Who is Young Master?

unimportant.

As for the Harlequin, Saphire didn't think it was an obstacle at all. At worst, he could kill a Moon Hunter to liven up the atmosphere, and the Harlequin would agree.

Thinking of the Moon Hunter, Saphir's eyes began to reveal murderous intent again. He was one of the five sinners and the one she urgently wanted to get rid of on her hunting list.

It’s hard to say about others, but as for Vesefenir and Leliel…if they dare to come, she will fight them regardless of the consequences.

After figuring this out, Safir opened the drawer, took out a piece of letter paper, and began to write on it.

Start with a simple format.

"Dear Columbia,

The letter has arrived, and I can see the color. I am very happy that you have made good progress in learning Liyue culture.

First of all, I would like to say that on the issue of your staying or leaving, if the Queen allows you to leave, I will agree with the Queen and will not interfere too much. My small group also has the same opinion, so don't worry.

Then, I will investigate the captain's affairs. If he is determined to die, I will not force him. But the Heart of the God of Fire must be obtained. This is related to the duty of the Fatui, and we cannot slack off.

As for the internal atmosphere, this is not something we can change, and I deeply regret that you cannot adapt to it.

Finally, please pay close attention to the news about that person. Believe me, this will be a very valuable bargaining chip for both of us.

Thank you for your intelligence and honesty.

Yours sincerely, Aurora."
