Original God's Dark Priest

Chapter 872 The Possibility of Leaving This World

Alice, who was far away in Mond and was communicating with this side via remote communication, naturally had no idea what dangerous things Safir was thinking.

She was still full of energy. "Hello, Ying, and all my new friends. Hello to you too, Du Lin. You've really changed."

She spoke these words as if she could see Du Lin.

Safir said nothing, but showed a mocking expression. Wasn't all this arranged by this old witch?

"Looking at this, maybe I should call you Little Durin?" Alice said to herself, completely ignoring Saphir's somewhat dangerous expression.

Upon hearing this, Du Lin muttered, "Little Du Lin..." Then it nodded vigorously, "Yeah, I like it. A smaller size is good."

If it's smaller, it's less scary. People won't worry about it squashing them into pulp if it moves a little, nor will they worry about what will happen if it goes berserk because of its huge size.

Big means oppression, while small means peace. This is a misunderstanding at first impression, but many people firmly believe it.

Nilu stared at the lamp in front of her: "Are you the Goddess of Creation, one of the three goddesses of this world?"

"Hmm...that's right. Although the name sounds impressive, actually, the three of us contributed roughly the same amount of effort back then." Alice was very pleased with the title and accepted it directly. "If you've read M's story, you'll know how fascinating the world inside is, so fascinating that you'll want to go and see it for yourself.

So I brought B along, and with M's consent, we created this world called Himulanka."

She spared no effort to promote the fairy tales written by M.

But these words sounded a bit humorous to Safire.

She admitted that M's stories were good, but the world in M's stories was not so beautiful. Although M's stories were fairy tales, they were not suitable for children to read, because there were always many deep meanings hidden behind these stories, and they also had some dark colors.

This is something M cannot avoid as an adult, because this is the adult world.

Paimon interrupted Alice: "Wait, wait, wait, why are you talking so much? Why don't you explain why you are here? No, why are we here?"

"Hahaha, of course I will tell you everything. You are heroes who have experienced adventures, so you naturally have the right to ask questions to the witch." Alice chuckled and agreed.

She paused, then said, "Let me start. I just felt a particularly strong magical power from the book, and I couldn't help but come in to take a look."

"It was when we blessed little Durin." Navia guessed.

Alice agreed with Navia's guess: "Yes, in the world of fairy tales, language and emotions are sometimes more powerful magic than any spell.

Thanks to your magic, little Doolin is what he is today. Say hello to me? Oh, he's so cute.

At this time, Qi Liangliang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "Could it be that our appearance in this world was also arranged?"

"I don't like the word 'arrangement'." Alice denied it, but Saphir could imagine Alice's self-righteous look over there, "If you ask me, it's more like fate.

When Durin of Himulanka made a wish to the goddess of fate, there happened to be a few friends from another world holding M's fairy tale in their hands...

And they just happened to have noble and kind souls, so they were chosen by the goddess of fate to save the world of Shimulanka."

She used the word "fate" to cover it up, explaining everything as beautiful and easy.

Navia thought about it carefully and nodded slightly: "Come to think of it... I seemed to be reading a book a few days ago... Oh, right, I was reading fairy tales to the children of Gray River!"

"I think I just picked up an old book and used it as a cushion to sleep in the box... hehe..." Qi Liangliang laughed embarrassedly as he said this, feeling a little awkward and uneducated.

Paimon sighed after hearing this: "Is it such a coincidence... Eh? No, why do other people have identities in the story, but we don't? Before we came in, we were..."

She and Ying looked at each other and both remembered.

"We saw a strange book in the library of Yuanxia Palace, and then we ended up here..." Paimon said, and began to look between Deng and Saphir with a suspicious look, "Who put that book there, deliberately waiting for us to take the bait?"

Alice immediately started to put the blame on Saphir: "The library in Yuanxia Palace...that must have been put there by little Saphir on purpose! She did it! That's right!"

"Hmm..." Saphir took a long breath and then slowly exhaled, "Alice, how many seconds do you think it will take for me to appear beside you?"

"Uh... hehe..." Alice immediately admitted her mistake, "Actually, it was me who put it there. I placed a restriction on the book so that ordinary people couldn't see it. I was planning to ambush her.

Who knew you could see it too... what a mistake."

Ying was so upset, she thought to herself: Could you please not involve me in your play?

But she still calmly asked: "What is the purpose of us coming here?"

"Well...how should I put it? Actually, there is no special purpose. Maybe it's because you think a good story always needs someone to read it? Whether it's you or little Saphir, you are all Adventers, that is, witnesses of this world, so, coming to watch the ending of this story is the best choice, isn't it?" Alice's explanation this time was very serious.

Ying was very pleased with these words, as they immediately put her and Saphir on an equal footing, which made her unconsciously feel a little happy.

Alice continued, "I can sense that the blessing you bestowed upon little Durin is very special. With blessings beyond the story, he might even be able to travel to other worlds."

When Krevy heard this, she perked up: "You mean, he can go to Teyvat?"

"It's not just Teyvat," Alice said mysteriously, "In fact, when creating Himulanka, M told us that he hoped the residents here would one day go out and explore the wider world.

I have the same idea. Why should people in our world be confined to this world?

All stories have an ending, but once a story becomes reality, it should have the power to choose its own path."

Ying was a little confused for a moment. What did Alice mean?

Navia didn't think too much about it. She simply thought it was a way to keep the story going: "In other words, the tracks under the feet of the residents of this world... will actually disappear sooner or later."

Paimon couldn't care less. She only cared about one thing: "Since they can all go to other worlds, how should we get out?"

"Can't you guys always go out?" Alice asked back.

Now it was everyone else's turn to be confused.

"Whether you're riding a small boat on the Broken Sea or touching the large bookmark on the Cliff of Prophecy, you can get out as long as you silently think of where you want to go." Alice said the way to leave this world.

Paimon's defense was broken: "You didn't tell us this at all!"

"Eh? No? Hehe, I think with your abilities, these are just small problems, right?" Alice would never admit that this was her mistake, and attributed everything to: trust.

She then explained, “As for the other friends who were summoned here, I guess the goddess of fate didn’t tell you because she wanted you to appreciate the story better.

Who says she is a reflection of M? Maybe she also inherited some of the habit of leaving suspense when writing stories?

Okay, I think I've said everything I need to say. What are your plans for the future?

Du Lin spoke first: "I...I'm going to apologize to the people here first...and then protect this world like my mother told me."

Paimon stroked his chin and thought for a moment: "Hmm... now that I know I can leave at any time, I'm suddenly not so anxious to go back..."

"Well, it's rare to come to such a magical world. I also want to travel around more." Qi Liangliang also agreed.

Hearing their thoughts, Alice smiled and said, "Haha, as long as you like it, I might invite some more friends to come and play.

By the way, little Doolin, I'm glad to see you've made new friends. I think M will be proud of you too.

Finally, please accept my best wishes. I hope your future will be as complex and colorful as M's many stories."

After saying this, the lamp went out and Alice left.

At this point, Shimulanka's adventure has come to an end. The old story has temporarily ended, and a new story is about to begin. Everyone begins to look forward to a new day together.

Everyone was discussing what to do next, but Saphir was the only one who carried the lamp and went alone to where the statue of the goddess of fate was.

Coming to the feet of the goddess statue, Saphir placed the lamp in a safe place and then sat cross-legged.

The light that had been extinguished came back on, and Alice's voice came out again: "Alone?"

"Yeah." Saphir responded, then took out a wine jug and three wine glasses.

Seeing what Saphir took out, Alice chuckled: "We all like to drink tea, but you like to drink wine."

"Not only me, but also Ivanovna." Safir picked up the wine jug and poured wine into three cups. The clear wine poured into the cups, splashing tiny droplets and emitting a rich aroma.

Hearing the name Ivanovna, Alice rarely revealed a nostalgic tone: "I haven't heard this name for a long time. When was the last time it was mentioned?"

"During the Windblume Festival, the winter came to that little girl." Saphir said without blinking.

Alice thought about it and denied it: "No, Scarlett was talking about Witch J, not calling her by her name."

"There is no difference." Saphir thought it was meaningless because Witch J was Ivanovna.

Speaking of Ivanovna, both of them had complicated feelings. As far as the Witch Club was concerned, they were all good friends, and good or evil was not important. But when it came to their reputation outside, Ivanovna's reputation was not that good.

As the first mayor of Winter City, she is behind many things.

But there are two things that are talked about the most. One is that she killed her own man, which made her known as the Black Widow. The second is that she led the liquidation of the fairy nobles, leaving the fairy tribe with no foothold in Winter Solstice.

I heard that because of this decree, goblins have almost become extinct and are rarely seen.

This was a cruel order, and the person who issued it would have to bear the subsequent responsibilities, even if she was the one being ordered.

"Are you worried?" Alice suddenly asked after sensing Safir's silence.

Saphir took a sip from his glass and asked, "What am I worried about?"

"You see your own shadow in J." Alice said firmly.

In her opinion, both Safir and Ivanovna served the Kingdom of Winter and the Ice Queen.

Ivanovna did a lot for the empress, and even after her death she was cursed for it. She thought Saphir would have doubts about this.

But Saphir just smiled faintly and shook his head: "No one can force me to do anything I don't want to do.

Besides, I’m not J, I have a background.”

Her tone was relaxed, and Alice seemed to have just remembered and said, "That's true. Who can force you? Morax has a bad temper."

"Hehe..." Safir didn't comment and just drank quietly.

The two of them fell silent. After a long while, Saphir finally spoke: "Are you still in touch with Rhine?"

"Well... I guess it's over. I was shocked when she suddenly came to see you last time." Alice said frankly.

Ever since devouring Naberis, Rhinedot has not contacted the members of the Witch Society. Even she cannot disturb them unless Rhinedot takes the initiative to contact them.

"Is that so?" Saphir nodded and said nothing.

This is a good thing. At least it shows that Rhinedort still cares about something and is not completely heartless.

Although I can't be sure, she was sincere when she said that she would hand the child over to Safir.

Saphir drank the wine in the cup in front of him, then picked up another cup and slowly poured it at the feet of the statue of the goddess of fate.

Alice remained silent.

Not until all the wine had spilled onto the ground did Saphir speak: "Shimuranka is a testing ground. If the idea of ​​bringing Durin to Teyvat can be realized..."

"It's not that other people can't leave Teyvat," Alice said.

Saphir nodded: "We are on the same page."

The Eye of God that she bestowed upon Beidou and the others was such a blessing, and with it, Beidou and the others had the potential to leave this world.

It was as if Du Lin had received the blessings of Ying and others.

"I think I've said too much nonsense, Anya." Saphir looked up at the tall statue of the goddess of fate. "I saw that child, Dulin. He's growing up well and healthy, but he's suffered a little injustice."

She clasped her hands together and spoke to the statue, as if Witch M was right in front of her.

Alice didn't interrupt and waited quietly.

At the top of the Star Track Royal City, there was a miniature tea party belonging to the Witch Society. One person was drinking, and one was watching, and they were thousands of miles away.

There was another person who had already left, leaving behind only a shadow, smiling and listening to what happened after she left.
