Original God's Dark Priest

"Name..." Ying felt a little dizzy. She felt like she had forgotten something. What was the name the two women mentioned? Why couldn't she remember it?

When she opened her eyes, what she saw was a desolate and lonely scene with ruined scenery everywhere. The whole world seemed to be shrouded in a gray veil, giving people a feeling of despair.

"Where is this..." Ying wanted to speak, but only hoarse sounds came out of her throat. Her throat felt as if it was burning on fire. She knew that this was a physiological reaction caused by lack of water.

This body craves a drink.

She searched around and soon found a pond.

"Water..." She murmured as she walked forward unconsciously, trying to bend down and swallow the water in the pool in big gulps.

However, when she reached the edge of the pool and saw her reflection on the water, she froze. It was a dragon head that looked like it was made of toy blocks. A huge panic spread within her.

At this moment, she forgot who she was and only knew that she shouldn't be like this.

Consciousness fell into confusion again.

When she woke up again, her perspective was high in the sky, and she felt like she was diving downwards.

"This is... Star Track Royal City." Ying recognized the castle below, and at the same time, the people in the castle also recognized her.

"It's the evil dragon! It's the evil dragon that destroyed the building block mine!" Someone shouted in horror, and everyone fled frantically as if they were risking their lives.

“Help! Help—!”

The entire Star Track Royal City fell into chaos.

Ying frowned. At this time, she had gradually realized that she was not turning into an evil dragon, but like many times before, she was reading memories.

The evil dragon's memory is not madness, nor hatred, but a heart filled with unrelieved sadness and despair.

It doesn't want to.

Ying felt that her idea was a bit absurd, but she felt that she was not wrong. This evil dragon just didn't want to do that.

"Soldiers! Pick up your weapons! Destroy him!" A determined man began to shout, and one after another, the building block figures lined up in rows and rushed towards her with weapons.

This is a counterattack from the Star Track Royal City.

Ying sighed deeply. If things continued to develop like this, the hatred would deepen step by step until it became a life-and-death struggle.

But she was powerless to stop it, because she was just a spectator and all this was just a memory.

But, unexpectedly, the evil dragon did not take action. It just took a deep look at the soldiers rushing towards it, then spread its wings and flew away.

The memory ends here, and Ying gradually wakes up from the dream.

She got up from the ground and found that Navia and Nilu had also woken up. She didn't know if it was because they hit their heads or for some other reason, but they were both covering their heads and looked in pain.

"Finally you woke up... It seems that the purple mist has not seriously eroded you. I was originally thinking about purifying you, but since you don't seem to be in danger, it's better to wait a while." Saphir's voice came from above.

They looked up and saw that she, Krevy, and Paimon were slowly descending.

Paimon also covered his head with his hands, his face full of confusion.

Seeing Paimon like this, Saphir rolled his eyes: "I told you they would be fine, why did you insist on rushing down."

"I'm sorry." Paimon scratched his head and said, "Speaking of which, I saw some strange things just now... It's like, it's like..."

Krevy understood: "It's the evil dragon's memory, right?"

The incident happened suddenly just now, and Saphir only had time to protect himself and little Paimon, and no one else could take care of him. Then Paimon rushed down because he was worried about Ying.

Fortunately, Saphir was quick and nimble, and he caught several people when they were unconscious and about to fall to their death. Otherwise, this Shimulanka adventure would have come to an end.

This also led to everyone except her seeing the evil dragon's memories.

"So everyone saw it." Navia looked at everyone. Except for Safir, everyone else looked thoughtful.

But it doesn't matter, because Saphir actually knew some of the inside stories here from the beginning, so it wouldn't matter even if he didn't see the evil dragon's memory.

Paimon recalled the scene he had seen, feeling somewhat disappointed: "This dragon seems to be different from our impression.

When I watched it, I felt a little sad for some reason..."

Navia nodded: "What happened in this world doesn't seem that simple."

"Next time you meet it, try to communicate with it naturally," Nilu suggested.

This is the optimism of outsiders. Precisely because they have not experienced those conflicts and hardships, they can sit down calmly and wishfully believe that negotiations are possible.

Saphir watched all this quietly. She actually already had an idea of ​​the direction of development of this world, but she also wanted to see how these people planned to deal with it.

Nilu's idea was recognized by the others. They discussed the topic again and then began to analyze the current situation.

Navia clicked her tongue: "It was like a fairy tale world up there, but now, it's like we've fallen into the next page of the book..."

"I feel the same way." Krevy nodded, then said, "There's no point in discussing this now. We can only keep going until the end."

Led by Krevy, the group began to look for a way out. They walked along the alleys separated by houses of various styles, found a device similar to a ladder, activated it, and finally left this place that was a bit like a slum.

When you step out of this area, the first thing you see is a breathtakingly gorgeous castle.

Seeing the brightly lit castle, Paimon was surprised: "Wow - the scenery here is very different from the dragon's lair up there."

In fact, this is true. This castle is not a dragon's lair. On the contrary, there are many Lego figures here.

With the help of the building block men, they gradually went deeper and finally saw the ferocious building block dragon head again in the backyard of the castle.

The evil dragon became hysterical upon seeing them: "You shouldn't be here!"

Paimon was so scared that he shrank back into Sapphire's arms again: "He...he, he, he seems very angry!"

"We want to have a good talk with you!" Navia held down her hat to prevent it from being blown away by the wind breathed out by the evil dragon. She shouted as loudly as possible, trying to persuade.

Saphir sighed lightly and said nothing.

The situation is actually very clear. When facing a hysterical person, simple verbal persuasion is unlikely to work.

No matter how skilled a negotiator is, he cannot persuade a vicious criminal with just eloquence.

The main reason why there are so many successful cases is that there are troops holding sniper rifles behind the negotiation experts.

The so-called negotiation has never been a collision of eloquence and intelligence, but pure suppression by force.

If you are strong, then every fart you say is the truth. If you are weak, then you have no right to speak.

This principle applies to any world, but in some worlds it is not demonstrated so vividly, while in other worlds it is applied more thoroughly due to the relaxation of legal constraints.

And Himlanka, or Teyvat, is a barbaric world where laws are less important than personal force.

Navia didn't think too much about it. After all, she had lived in Fontaine since she was a child, and she still had a filter called naivety when it came to laws and rules.

She tried to approach the evil dragon, but the evil dragon roared, "Don't come near me again!!!"

As it finished speaking, the entire castle turned into a battlefield where the evil dragon unleashed its attacks.

Under the evil dragon's endless and bizarre attacks, Ying and his group were caught in a dilemma and looked very embarrassed.

Sapphire flew high with little Paimon in his arms, looking down at everything from the sky.

The purple mist spread out again, drowning out everyone's figures. Little Paimon became nervous again: "Ah! It's that purple mist again!"

"Don't worry, it's okay." Saphir did nothing this time because she could feel that Ying and the others were still conscious, so there was no problem.

Paimon's face was filled with worry and confusion: "If Saphir takes action, he can subdue the evil dragon, right?"

Saphir was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then nodded: "That's not difficult."

"Then why don't you take action?" Paimon was a little puzzled.

Sapphire thought for a moment and then asked, "Does Paimon think this dragon is a criminal so evil that he must be destroyed?"

"Well... well, although it brought a lot of harm and panic to the residents of the royal city, after seeing its memories, I suddenly felt that it was not so hateful." Paimon said honestly.

Saphir chuckled. "So, the measure to be taken against it is never to eliminate it, but to reform it, right?"

"Um... yes." Paimon thought for a moment and nodded vigorously.

Safire asked another very important question: "But you only decide your attitude towards it based on its painful memories. Have you ever deeply understood what it did?"

"What?" Paimeng was confused. Her little brain didn't allow her to think about these things.

Saphir shook his head: "Nothing, let's go over there too."

After that, she rushed into the purple mist with little Paimon.

This time she did not use hand gestures to evade, but actively read the memory fragments that permeated the mist.

These are things that have happened here in the past.

From these memory fragments, the group learned an important thing, that is, this so-called evil dragon has never hurt anyone.

People fear it and call it the evil dragon simply because it is an alien in the eyes of these building block people, and everything comes from fear.

Saphir smiled. "As expected...it really is...developing like playing house."

In fact, abandoning the fact that existence means disaster is a matter of course. In terms of inner thoughts, both Durin and Erinus are like this. They have never tried to harm anyone.

Their mere existence means disaster, so they must die.

Safir didn't think there was anything wrong with this. It wasn't because of the life-for-life argument, but because the war had already begun when they hurt others.

The people who suffered losses will not give up, and the dragon is unwilling to surrender. In the end, it all depends on who is stronger. This is a contest of strength, so simple and pure that there is no other logic.

Now, the evil dragon here does not harm other people, so it can be "redeemed" and is worth Ying and the others' effort to save it.

Saphir took Paimon and walked in the purple mist, looking for traces of Ying and others.

Paimon nestled in Sapphire's arms, still talking.

"I feel really sorry for it. It's always misunderstood." Paimon looked up at Sapphire. "We will save it, right?"

Seeing the little guy's worried look, Saphir nodded: "Yes, we... will save it."

save…

Safir felt that this word was actually not appropriate, and she thought of Durin on the snow-capped mountains again.

On the surface, the difference between these two Durin is that one caused damage to the outside world, so he must die, while the other did not affect the outside world, so he can be saved.

But Safir knew clearly that things were not that simple. There were many factors that led to Du Lin's death. It was not simply that he killed someone and was killed.

The first is the timing. Durin's impact on Mond coincided with the destruction of Kanria, which appeared along with the Legion of the Abyss.

Then there is the issue of energy. Durin is an abyssal weapon, and his body contains extremely strong virtual power. Even if he is dead, he will become a hidden danger that endangers Mond, not to mention when he is alive.

Finally, its harm is that it killed many people, even if it was unintentional, but those people did die at Durin's hands.

However, many people just think that Durin killed many Mond people, so Barbatos killed him. This understanding is too superficial, but most people have this understanding.

Thinking of Alice's commission, Saphir began to think that the heart of Durin in the Sleeping Dragon Valley had not lost its activity. It could be said that its vitality should have exceeded that of Erinas. However, Erinas still had a residual soul, while Durin's residual soul had dissipated.

Has it really dissipated?

Saphir felt that he should already know the truth.

From the beginning to the end, Du Lin was not actually dead, he was just sent to this place.

Stripped of the abyssal energy and discarded the shell of the past, he has stayed in Shimulanka for so long, waiting for a brave man to free him...

This guy Alice really posed a difficult problem for Safir.

If Rosalin knew about this, she would have no way to defend herself. Durin was the culprit who killed Rustam, and she wanted her to "save" Durin?

This isn't something that can be forgotten with a smile...

While thinking about these things, Saphir also found Ying and the others.

Several people have passed through the fog and arrived at the deepest palace.

Krevy saw Saphir coming and nodded at her: "It's just ahead. What should we do next?"

Saphir looked at Krevi and said, "Sister Weiwei, you are the hero. Now is the time for you to make the decision."

Krevi was a little conflicted. She had thought a lot along the way. The reason she asked Safir was because she realized the conflict between Du Lin and Safir.

To be fair, she firmly stood on the side of Saphir, but this little dragon was really pitiful.

She wanted to save it, but that made her feel like she was betraying Saphir, and this thought made her very conflicted.

Saphir knew what she was struggling with and smiled nonchalantly: "Do what you want to do, Sister Weiwei. I support you no matter what."

As for Rosaline, she will give an explanation.
