Original God's Dark Priest

Chapter 896 Confession Bureau

That evening, a very eye-catching platform was erected in the hot spring plaza of Liuquan Zhizhong, which was to be used to promote Yaedo the next day.

Ada and her team are already busy here, preparing for tomorrow's promotional event.

Saffir had originally intended to come here to prepare after recovering, but was instead taken back to the Holy Flame Arena by Mavica.

“I’ve done what I needed to do, so there’s no need to go back now, is there?” Saffir said, sitting on the back of Mawika’s gear cart.

Mavica replied, "Your identity as Su Jin won't last long. It can't go on like this forever. I think it's time to be honest."

“Sydralli won’t help us, you know that.” Saffir felt uneasy; regardless, she wanted to complete the task assigned by her captain.

“I will persuade her!” Mavica said firmly. “You have done me a great favor. The Fools are Nata’s allies, and I will help you as well.”

Saffir remained silent for a moment after hearing this, and only spoke when they were close to the Olympic Arena: "Do you know what we're planning to do? On this matter, we are on opposing sides."

“Aurora, are you willing to believe me?” Mavica suddenly asked seriously.

Saffir did not answer, not because she thought Mavica was untrustworthy, but because she herself did not believe Mavica would succeed in this matter.

Only four of the six heroes have been confirmed so far. Even Marani, who was confirmed before, only officially awakened because of this incident. How many of the remaining heroes have been confirmed but not yet awakened?

Where are the other two that are still undetermined?

This is a matter of national destiny, and even the future of the entire Teyvat. How can it be treated lightly?

Sensing Saffir's hesitation, Mavica suddenly laughed: "Hehe... I know you think this plan is very unreliable, but... I also know that the captain is in charge of the Fools' operation in Nata, right?"

"If I can convince the captain, will you stop stopping me?"

"Only if you can convince the captain." Saffir didn't think the captain was that easy to convince.

But Mavica was confident: "Yes, as long as he also wants to save Nata."

"Do you know something?" Saffir felt that the Vulcan's words were a bit strange, and gave her an odd feeling.

Mavica smiled without saying a word.

A short while later, the two returned to the Holy Fire Arena, where Ying and her group had already begun receiving treatment from Aoi.

Upon seeing Mavica and Saffir return, Citrali was the first to rush over, pulling Saffir up and down for a thorough examination.

Sapphire had changed his clothes by this time. Although he was no longer wearing the clothes of the Fatui, his style of dress had changed to the Liyue style.

She wore a jade-green silk dress and even styled her hair in a bun with a hairpin tucked in. At first glance, she really did have the air of a lady from a noble family.

When Ying saw Saphir for the first time, she almost choked on her own saliva.

Saffir rolled her eyes at the girl's stupid look. She didn't want to wear this outfit either, but unfortunately, Noelle had taken out and washed a lot of her clothes.

Then, because of the promotional event, all her clothes were still soaking in water and hadn't dried yet. Saffir was too lazy to bother with it, so she simply took out the clothes that Zhongli had prepared for her and wore them.

I have to say, this old guy at least has a good sense of style; the clothes he bought are really nice, but... well, they're not suitable for fighting.

“Now I believe you’re from Liyue. People from other countries would never wear these clothes.” Sylvanas’s attention had long been drawn to the clothes.

Mavica coughed and then asked, "Aiko, have you examined everyone?"

“Yes, Lord Vulcan, you all ventured deep into the Kingdom of the Night God, so you all have varying degrees of abyssal corruption within you… Ying, on the other hand, doesn’t.” Aoi briefly explained the examination results, then frowned deeply.

Mavica noticed her hesitation and asked, "Is there something you can't say? Is there a problem you can't handle?"

“No, actually it’s Kazina…” Kui Ke glanced at Kazina with a complicated expression.

The little girl's heart jumped at that look, and she asked nervously, "What's wrong? I feel perfectly fine, there shouldn't be any problem."

“It’s precisely because there’s no problem.” Kui Ke pursed her lips. “Logically speaking, Kazina has been in the Kingdom of Night for so long, so she should be more severely corrupted by the abyss, but… I couldn’t find any traces of abyss corruption on you.”

Marani was also extremely faint, almost nonexistent, so clean it was as if... as if she had just passed through the entrance.

“This…” Mavica instinctively wanted to say it was impossible, but she quickly realized that it was Saffir who had done it, so she looked at Saffir who was still being pestered by Sitrali with questions.

Sensing Mavika's gaze, Saffir nodded to her: "That pendant can purify abyssal energy and stimulate human potential, achieving a similar effect to Fluor to some extent."

"That's amazing? If everyone had one..." Kui Ke covered her mouth again, "These pendants must be very precious, right? I was just overthinking it."

Saffir shook his head without speaking. Kazina's pendant was special; it was engraved with the power of the Four Saints and was made from the most precious grade of amber.

You should know that piece of amber was Zhongli's prized possession. Ordinary people would never even see it, let alone take it. Only a shameless fellow like Saffir could take it out, carve it at will, and give it away.

The blessing of the Four Saints is something even Sapphire cannot easily bestow, as the materials required are extremely limited. Therefore, the value of such a pendant is immeasurable. It can only be said that Sapphire treats this nominal grand-disciple very well.

At this moment, an old man who had just returned home from listening to music at the Moonlight Tavern stared into deep thought at his empty shelf where he displayed his exquisite amber.

"By the way, there's something I feel I need to tell you all, and that's about Su Jin's identity." Mavica finally got down to business.

Saffir's face was full of helplessness. Was it really necessary to talk about this?

Cecilia scratched her head: "Is there something wrong with Professor Su Jin's identity? Isn't she just a member of the Witch Association?"

Ying stood with her hands on her hips, looking down at everyone with an air of having seen through everything.

“Alright, since Mavica insists on saying it, then so be it. I am indeed a member of the Witches' Guild, that’s not a lie. And I am also the Executor of the Fools’ Clan, the one you mentioned before, Aurora.” Saffir confessed. Mavica was right; often, only mutual honesty can lead to better cooperation.

"You're Aurora?!" The unsuspecting crowd exclaimed in unison.

"Kiko! Where's my ritual staff? Hurry, the Fools are attacking!" Chaska jumped up, ready to fight.

Aoi looked at Chaska with a helpless expression: "Lord Vulcan is still here..."

"Oh, oh..." Chaska finally regained his senses and calmed down, but his eyes were full of vigilance as he looked at Saffir.

Compared to her, Ian Shan was much calmer, showing no intention of making a move. It wasn't that she wasn't wary, but rather that she had already been beaten once and was very clear about the difference between the two of them. Well, she gave up.

"Eh...Eh?" The two sisters, Kazina and Marani, reacted in unison, stunned the moment they heard the news.

Kazina was still somewhat incredulous. She clutched the pendant hanging around her neck, her eyes filled with confusion: "So, I was able to return unharmed simply because I received help from the Fools?"

Even this pendant is…”

Her worldview was shaken.

Only Sitraly didn't react much, simply staring intently at Saffir.

Saffir looked back at Cetalli: "I'm sorry to disappoint you."

"Why do you say that?" Sitale asked calmly. "Just because you're a member of the Fatui? Hmph, I already knew that!"

This person is being stubborn.

Saffir and Mavica exchanged a glance and shrugged in unison. The old woman's strong sense of pride... Oh well, let her be.

After revealing her identity, Sapphire also cleaned up the Abyss Corruption on the others. Her method was simple: she used the power of holy light to blend with the primordial water to make bottles of potions and distributed them to them.

Chaska and the others were a little hesitant to drink, while Ying was very unhappy because she didn't get any.

Marani, however, drank it all in one gulp, and after finishing, she wiped her lips and commented, "It's sweet and quite delicious."

"I added some sweet flower nectar to flavor it." This is her habit. The portion that was previously sold at Bubulu was not flavored with it. Later, she received feedback that it tasted no different from water, and some people doubted its medicinal effects.

The idea behind adding Atractylodes macrocephala is to add some of the juice from Qingxin and Liuli Bag. Both of these are bitter, so the drink will have a medicinal taste, which will make customers feel that they are actually taking medicine, and it will also provide psychological comfort.

But Saffir rejected the proposal, preferring that the product be positioned as a health supplement. Which health supplement company would deliberately make it taste bitter?

So she thought of Vitamin C chewable tablets. She remembered that she liked to eat them like candy when she was a child and never had any problems. Why didn't she try to improve upon this method?

Anyway, hopefully there won't be any side effects. The worst that will happen if you drink too much is that you urinate more, which is a diuretic, so it's a good thing. Since there are no side effects, if you make it taste good, you can drink it like a beverage, right?

So, the hope product with added honey was developed and put on sale at Bubulu.

Believe it or not, this change did boost sales. With Bai Shu's endorsement, the people of Liyue didn't think there would be any problems with Hope. Many children wanted to drink beverages, but their parents were worried that drinking too many beverages would be bad for their health, so they bought some Hope to keep at home.

The bright, sweet hope brought joy to many children's dreams at night. For this reason, Saffir lowered the price of hope again and again, finally bringing it down to 200 Mora a bottle, which is only slightly more expensive than Teyvat eggs, making it very affordable.

"Anyway... the raw material is just a little bit of sweet flower, it's not much trouble." This is what Saffir said when finalizing the price.

Because of this incident, Bai Shu held Safiel in even higher regard. Since the pollution of the Layered Rock Abyss still existed, miners who used to have to be extremely careful could now drink a bottle of Hope after going down into the mine, and drink another bottle after returning. Their backs and legs no longer ached, and even Bu Bu Lu's business improved a lot.

Previously, it was because people were constantly being corrupted by the abyss and had no choice but to come to the doctor; now…

They all come to buy drinks. Bai Zhu sometimes thinks about taking over another shop and selling drinks.

After Marani finished drinking it, the little bit of Abyss Corruption in her body completely disappeared. Seeing this, the others also took a deep breath and drank Hope with the determination to die.

Then, faint black mist began to emanate from Ianshan and the others, and they returned to normal.

Only Chaska, after drinking Hope, had a solemn expression, and the black aura emanating from her body was much more solid than the others. However, the effect of one bottle of Hope was limited and not enough to remove the remaining abyssal power from Chaska's body.

Saffir saw through this, but remained silent. This person must be extraordinary to be able to endure such severe abyssal corruption while maintaining his sanity. She suspected that Chaska might very well inherit the name [Wuka].

"That should be fine. Let Kui Ke check you all again in a few days." Saffir checked the group again and nodded.

Aoi blinked and pointed at herself: "Me?"

"If it wasn't you, was it me? Someone as busy as me needs to personally give you follow-up examinations? How dare you!" Saffir said, tilting his head back as if he were something special.

Paimon complained, "Uh... she started speaking rudely as soon as her identity was revealed. Could she at least pretend for a little longer next time? I prefer you when you're more polite."

"Paymon's food allowance will be halved next month," Saffir declared directly.

Paimon immediately panicked upon hearing this: "Hey! No, no! Oh, I love Saffir the most, I love you no matter what you look like!"

“Really?” Saffir opened one eye and glanced at Paimon.

Paimon immediately thumped his chest loudly: "More real than real gold! I swear to Mora."

The little guy is a money-grubber, and his swearing to Mora shows he's really sincere.

Kui watched the two bickering with a smile, then looked at Mavica and said, "Then I'll take my leave first. There are other patients who need my care."

"Thank you for your hard work, little sister." Chaska's attitude towards Aiko softened considerably.

Hearing Chaska say this, Aoi shrugged, clearly used to this kind of turn of events. She said, "Alright, even if we have different opinions, no one means any harm. Let time do its work, things will get better someday."

“Hmm.” Chasca nodded.

After Kuiko left, Saffir watched her departing figure and then asked Chaska, "You... have a conflict?"

"..." Chasca wasn't quite used to a Fool being so affectionate with him, but he still replied, "It's just some ideological conflict, a family matter."

“Family…” Safiel looked up, seemingly lost in thought.

Seeing her like this, Chaska became curious: "Do you have family too?"

“I wasn’t born from a rock, how could I not have family? I have a very, very big family, with many brothers and sisters…” Saffir was referring to the people in the Hearth House.

Chaska knew immediately: "Is it an orphanage?"

“Yes.” Saffir nodded. “Actually, I do have family.”

I had an older brother…
