Original God's Dark Priest

Chapter 858 The King Appears

After writing the letter, Safire put the letter paper into an envelope and arranged for someone to mail it out. The recipient's address was very simple, just send it back to the address that Columbia sent the letter from.

After doing all this, Safir took out the Dongtian Pass and contacted someone.

As soon as the call was connected, the person on the other end started complaining: "Why are you looking for me at this hour? Don't you know it's my break time now?"

"I know." Safir didn't feel guilty at all, but rather took it for granted.

The person on the other end was so angry that his voice cracked: "Then why are you bothering me?"

Saphir chuckled and said, "If I choose to contact you at night, will you answer the call?"

"That's impossible. No one can disturb me when I'm doing research." The other party refused without hesitation.

After saying that, both sides fell silent.

In the end, the opponent's concentration was a little weaker, and he couldn't help but ask, "So what's going on?"

"I heard that you were exiled to Nordkale? I came to ask about the situation and see if I can be of any help." Safir kindly expressed his willingness to help.

Hearing this, the person on the other end suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. After a long while, he replied: "Are you so kind?"

"Because you spoke up for me." Saphir picked up a pen on the table and turned it between his fingertips.

There was silence again. Just when Saphir thought he was about to fall asleep, a voice came again: "She... went to see you?"

"Not really. Columbia is quite wary. She's probably afraid I'll just pin her down here. She won't rush into a meeting with me until she's sure of my stance." Saphir was very clear about this. "I'm not looking for you this time because of that guy. I have something I want to ask of you."

"I won't do it." He said the refusal without hesitation.

A vein on Saphir's forehead twitched, but he still said kindly, "Sandoni, I should have told you that learning to speak well will always be beneficial to you."

"Don't tell me these nonsense. I have helped you several times. We are not close enough to each other to help you unconditionally." Sandoni also stood firm and would never suffer any loss.

Saphir sighed deeply and slowed down his tone. "You might encounter a very difficult enemy this time. Columbia said her mission is complete. I don't think she has much strength left. If it's just the two of you, you won't be able to defeat that enemy."

"Who wants to join forces with her? Besides, Rosaline will come here with us this time. I don't believe you can just watch Rosaline fall into danger and do nothing." There was a hint of pride in Sandoni's tone, and he refused to compromise with Safir.

Safir's eyebrows raised slightly when he heard this, and the pen in his hand flew out. "Are you so confident that you can control me? You've finally put something other than research into your wooden head."

"What do you mean? Do you want to fight, Aurora?" Sandoni was anxious.

Safir held the Cave Heaven Pass a little further from his ear and closed one eye, "Tsk..."

"I appreciate your kindness. If you could help me with my research, I would certainly welcome it. But if you want to help me deal with the enemy, I would decline your offer.

I admit that I'm not as strong as you freaks, but I won't give up easily. Pronya will elbow all the enemies away!" After saying that, Sandoni hung up the phone.

Looking at the disconnected Cave Heaven Pass, Saphir sighed softly, "It's really... not cute at all."

But she didn't take it to heart. After all, there was still some time before the Nordkale incident, and she could make preparations before that.

Since Sandoni insisted that he didn't need help, there was no need for her to rush over. This was a good opportunity for him to test the quality of the Moon Hunter.

By the way, what she wanted to request was actually to investigate matters related to Lelier and the Nordkalai Abyss. Since she already knew that Lelier was one of the five sinners, he must be closely related to the abyss.

Unexpectedly, the arrogant Sandoni refused outright without giving Safir a chance to explain. Judging from the process, Sandoni refused.

But looking at the results...

It seemed that the puppet master had chosen to work unconditionally. After all, now that things had come to this, no matter how arrogant Sandonnie was, he would be cautious and would definitely take the initiative to investigate the matter of Lelier. Thinking of this, Saphir couldn't help but chuckle.

This Sandoni... Forget it, I'll give her some benefits next time I have the chance.

Shimulanka, outside the Star Track Royal City.

"Help! Help...Oh! Goddess of Prophecy, can you please kind people help us?" The little building block man who cried for help seemed to see a savior after seeing Ying and his group.

Looking at the two little figures with strange postures, everyone looked at each other in confusion. Although it was a fairy tale, such a scene was still too weird.

Paimon was a little confused: "What happened here? Why is there someone hanging in the air?"

"It's better to hang on than to fall and break into pieces. I told him to be careful..." The little building block man named Blefan subconsciously started to complain, then he immediately reacted and shook his head, "No, this is not the time to talk about this.

Dear kindhearted people, please help me move the spring over there. I will explain the details to you later."

Blefan couldn't move, but the spring he was talking about was very conspicuous, not far to his left.

Krevy walked forward and wound the spring a few times. Then, a magical scene happened. The building block figures that were just hanging in the air magically returned to the top of the cliff, but as the spring started to turn again, the two building block figures began to continue what they had done before.

The dangling man fell off the cliff again, and time stopped again.

Seeing this scene, Ying's eyes widened slightly, and Krevi also showed an interested expression.

"Interesting... It's like... fate." Krevy analyzed, "Is this the power of the Goddess of Fate?"

Nilu didn't understand any of this. She was just thinking about how to save the little man who had fallen off the cliff. "Let's not think about what this power is for now. Saving him is the most important thing."

Krevy nodded: "Ms. Fairy is right. As a hero, I should do what a hero should do."

"Oh, don't make fun of me." Nilu's cheeks flushed slightly, and she felt a little embarrassed.

Krevy chuckled and her eyes fell on the barrier at the edge of the cliff. Soon, she had an idea.

Under her command, Nilu wound the spring, and Ying changed the position of the barrier after the little man returned to the top of the cliff, setting it up behind the little man who fell.

This method was indeed effective. The little man who was originally about to fall off the cliff was stopped by the barrier and successfully avoided the fate of falling off the cliff.

After being rescued, the reckless little Lego figure named Blesch came to the group with lingering fear and said, "Oh, thank you... Thank you everyone..."

Looking at the rescued Bloesch, Paimon was very surprised: "What was that just now? It was like time went backwards."

Only now did Blefan notice that these people didn't seem to be locals. He walked over and said, "Is this your first time seeing the magic of the Goddess of Prophecy? It's not surprising that you misinterpreted it as time reversal."

Simply put, this is a gift bestowed upon Star Track City by the goddess of prophecy, who controls the trajectory of all things. It allows citizens who have strayed from the path of life to find a chance to get back on track…”

Hearing this, Krevi and Ying looked at each other. The so-called fate is actually a very mysterious thing, but there is indeed an arrangement in the dark.

Just like Krevy herself, if she had followed the original trajectory, she would have died, but the fact that she is standing here alive now shows that her life trajectory has been changed.

There are many similar people, most of whom are related to Safire. This person is like a lever that easily pries open the lives of others and makes the world start to run along another trajectory.

Nilu frowned and thought, "The trajectory of life... Is this something that is determined from birth in Star Track City?"

"You sound like you think this is a bad thing..." Blefan was a little puzzled. In his opinion, this was a very normal thing.

Blesch suggested, "I think you haven't explained enough. The citizens of Star Track City naturally have their own lives, just like I can decide whether to use olive oil or sesame oil for my face mask this morning.

But if something happens like I just did, where I almost fell to pieces, this magic will be activated around us."

Paimon understood a little: "In other words, it's magic that protects your lives, right?"

"Although it will be activated at certain special times, your understanding is correct." Blefan nodded, agreeing with Paimon's understanding.

Nilu always felt that things were not that simple, but she gave up looking into it. After all, these two building block figures would not know any more.

So, she shook her head and said, "Anyway, I'm glad you're all okay."

Krevi and Ying thought more about it.

What Ying thought of was the essence of this fairy tale world, just like the incident at Narcissus Cross Welfare Home, which also had an established story line. From the beginning to the end, everything had a fixed route.

And what Krevy thought of was Teyvat.

Alechino once told her that Saphir had been trying to go against the will of the world. Krevy originally thought that this meant that Saphir was going against the laws of nature, but now it seems that this may not be the case.

If Heaven's Law itself is a character in a story and must act according to the logic of the story, then who is Saphir fighting against?

He is the person behind all this.

For a moment, Krevi felt her scalp tingling, as if countless thin threads were wrapped around her body, forcing her to do certain things and follow her destiny to the destined ending. And behind all this there was a will.

That will was what Saphir had been fighting against. Krevy felt terrified at the thought and hurriedly threw the thought out of her mind. It was too horrible. She didn't want such a thing to happen.

Just as Krevy was feeling a bit dazed by the chaotic thoughts in her mind, Blesch spoke up, "Are you guys going to Star Track Royal City?"

Paimon nodded: "Yes, do you know where the gear ladder is?"

Blesch laughed. "Of course." He pointed in a direction. It was a wooden platform with a clockwork-like mechanism on it. "That's the one in the front with the key in it."

Seeing this platform, everyone hesitated, and Paimon even questioned directly: "Ah? Um... can they really send us there?"

"Don't worry! Star Track City is made almost entirely of gears and tracks, and is protected by the Goddess of Prophecy," Blefan assured him. "In other words, their tracks are fixed. If a car is marked to move forward, it can't move backward."

"It's just like Fontaine's clockwork toy." Paimon exclaimed.

Ying nodded in agreement.

Hearing this, Nelue was a little curious: "Is it like the music box with dancing figures? I remember Klee has one."

"That's a music box, a gift from Saphir to Klee." Paimon nodded, "It was indeed made using Fontaine's clockwork technology.

Anyway, I feel more at ease knowing it won't fall down suddenly, so let's go."

Everyone stepped onto the gear ladder and turned the spring on it. The ladder made a dull sound and began to move slowly. After a while, it carried everyone across the cliff and arrived at the Star Track Royal City.

The Star Track Royal City is worthy of being a royal city. It is full of building block figures gathered together. Compared with the Blessed Forest, it is much more lively.

Not only that, the buildings here are also much taller. Compared to the Blessed Forest, where there is only a tavern and a few small houses that can barely be considered buildings, this place is a complete city for human habitation.

Paimon looked around and exclaimed, "Wow, what a prosperous city! It's worthy of being the place where the king lives!"

"Next, we should go to the top of the royal city and seek oracle from the goddess of prophecy. I hope the king doesn't mind us climbing up his castle..." Nilu began to pray.

Krevy patted her shoulder and soothed her, "Let me make a bold guess. Since the Fairy Warriors were all played by outsiders, then the important role of King might also be played by someone from outside."

"That makes sense." Paimon agreed.

As they were talking, a team of building block soldiers came running over with weapons in hand. They moved in unison and lined up in front of Ying and her group, three on the left and two on the right, and then waited.

Just when everyone was confused, the lagging soldier soon appeared. He ran forward in panic, and then...

"Bang..." He fell down.

Everyone's eyes were focused on him. Seeing this, the soldiers on the right who were already standing hurried forward to help him up and put him into line. At this point, the soldiers' square formation was completed.

The leading soldier shouted with full energy: "The King has arrived—!"

"Ah? King? Why at this time... Could it be that he is angry because he knows we are going to enter his castle?" Paimon was a little scared.

Krevy narrowed her eyes slightly. "Don't be afraid, Paimon. If conflicts and contradictions are unavoidable, we can still resort to force."

"Silence!" the soldier began to introduce. "The one who will stand before you is the ruler of Star Track City, the guardian of order and a thousand stars, the king who descended beneath the meteors—"

All the building block people started cheering. It seemed that this king was quite popular.

Paimon complained: "What a long name..."

Then, a bright yellow figure with a crown on his head appeared with a familiar and clear voice, saying in a very heroic manner: "Welcome, guests from afar!

I have long heard of your deeds, the fairies who brought rain to the forest, and the prophesied... uh..."

The woman in yellow was stuck for words. She stared blankly at the guests in the audience. They all had speechless expressions. Ying and Krevi even rolled their eyes.

Only Paimon looked shocked: "Nana...Navia?"
