Original God's Dark Priest

Chapter 53 Star Silver Buried in the Snow



The three of them walked together and came to Qin's office. This is the second time Safire has come here. The first time he came here with Lin Yi, he only stayed briefly, and then left here to support Ying because of Tevalin's attack.

Qin motioned for the two of them to sit down, and she also pulled up a chair and sat next to her. She did not choose to sit behind her desk, probably because she wanted to communicate in a lower posture.

"You two, please forgive me for not preparing tea in my office." Qin probably felt that she had not treated her well enough, so she was embarrassed. Normally, these things are left to Noelle. She would get up early every day to boil hot water, then put it in a sealed thermos bottle and deliver it to each office.

Now that Noelle is still outside following Kaia and the others from their crusade against the secret realm, no one has done these things. This gives Qin a headache. The Knights are really short of people, and their daily work is somewhat difficult to operate.

Safire glanced at Wendy, who was a little awkward next to him, and knew that he couldn't count on this alcoholic poet. Wendy really had no hope, he was still thinking about the wine he got from Saffir. As for Qin, she was sitting upright with her hands on her knees looking nervous.

"I happened to be planning to visit Captain Qin today, but unexpectedly, it was Captain Qin who found me personally. Should I say that this is also a tacit understanding?" Safire discovered some problems from Qin's attitude. As a An excellent knight and the acting head of the knights, she seemed a little reserved at the moment. This restraint could not be because of her, so it was obvious that she was so restrained because of Wendy.

But what Safir didn't know was that most of Qin's psychological pressure came from her, the executive. The information obtained from Diluc changed Qin's impression of Safire drastically. Captain Qin, who had always been conscientious and conscientious despite difficulties, met for the first time a man who looked younger than himself. The girl felt fearful.

If she hadn't heard the song she sang in the morning, Qin probably wouldn't have had the courage to go up and speak. Instead, she would have chosen to leave directly and wait for the knights to have more strength before negotiating with her.

Qin showed a smile: "It seems that as Miss Saffir said, we do have a tacit understanding. Why don't you tell me what you want to do with me first, and I will try my best to satisfy you within a reasonable range. After all, there are many fools. We can also be considered strategic partners with Mondstadt.”

The strategic cooperation that Qin refers to actually refers to the Winter Kingdom's conscription in Mondstadt. It is really said that this matter was promoted by Dr. Dottore. It caused a lot of damage to Mondstadt. Qin deliberately mentioned it. Just to see Safier's reaction, she wanted to confirm whether there was any grudge between the Dark Priest and the Doctor. If there was really any grudge, it would not be impossible to use it. After all, for now, Safiel, the Dark Priest, did not No behavior was done to harm Mond.

The scarlet eyes under Safire's mask flashed sharply: "Captain Qin seems to be quite complaining about some previous things." She showed a playful smile, and she naturally knew what Qin was referring to, "If If you want some explanation, you may be disappointed. The tasks between the executive officers are relatively independent, and there is relatively little interference with each other. I was previously responsible for rice-related affairs, and it is also my first time to come to Mondstadt. , I’m afraid I can’t give you any explanation.”

Hearing Safire's answer, Qin couldn't help but frown slightly, and was put off. Some things couldn't be said openly. Once the words were spoken clearly, it would be a rift. Qin didn't want to, and couldn't do it at this time. Breaking up with Safire, a dangerous person, and seeking cooperation was already a tightrope walk. To break up with him would be to jump into a pit of fire. At this moment, she suddenly felt a little powerless. She shook her head and gave up trying in this area. No way, the force value is too different.

Wendy looked on with cold eyes. He had just woken up not long ago and had no idea what had happened before, so he couldn't say anything. But generally speaking, he could analyze some things. It seemed that the Fools had tricked Mondstadt once before. Thinking of this, Wendy looked at Saffir again, and then shook her head. Although this girl was a little weird, she was not bad at heart, and she didn't look like someone who would do that kind of thing.

His perspective on things is different from others. He prefers to analyze a person as an individual, rather than pre-labeling and interpreting based on the organization he belongs to. This is Barbatos's cleverness. He knows the place very well.

After adjusting her mood slightly, Qin recovered: "So, Miss Safire, why are you looking for me?" After the temptation failed, Qin no longer hesitated. It was better to listen to what the other party planned to do first. Then wait until the others come back before making plans.

Saffir did not hesitate. She repeated to Qin the plan she had talked about with Albedo in the Snow Mountain yesterday, including the plan to explore and excavate Mianlong Valley and Fendenir.

Qin frowned and thought after listening to her plan. To be honest, this plan did not have much impact on them. Although it was not profitable, it also required less manpower, and it only required guerrillas stationed in the snowy mountains. squad, which is undoubtedly good news for the short-handed Mondstadt.

The price is slight and acceptable, then the question lies in profit. Qin looked at Safire seriously and asked: "How do you consider the distribution of benefits?"

Safire had already guessed that she would ask this question, and said decisively: "We have invested more in this matter, so we should take the lion's share."

Jean nodded: "That makes sense. Please continue."

Safire continued: "The things I need are mainly two specialties. I wonder if you have heard of them. One is called 'Crimson Chalcedony' and the other is called 'Dark Red Stone'."

"Are they specialties from the snowy mountains? If I remember correctly, these two materials were once circulated on the road. However, because it was too difficult to mine and the scope of use was too narrow, they disappeared after that. Later, because of the magic dragon Dulin, As a result of the disaster, Longji Snow Mountain has become a restricted area, and no one cares about these materials. What does Miss Safire want these things for?" It has to be said that although Qin is a qualified knight, she is definitely not a qualified businessman. Now everything on the snow mountain can actually be counted as a bargaining chip for her, but she has actively lowered the value of her own chips.

Safir almost laughed after hearing what she said. Wendy on the side was also helpless. She could only say that as a young believer, she had never experienced the dangers of people's hearts. The Gunnhild family protected her very well.

Safir thought for a while before saying: "Alchemy materials. I am more interested in the composition of these materials. I plan to mine a batch and go back to study, and try to develop the possibility of other uses." This is a perfect answer, this world Any substance in the world can be used for alchemy experiments, there is nothing wrong with that. Of course she wouldn't tell the actual situation. What if she did tell the other party that she would be wary?

Qin always felt that something was wrong, but couldn't find anything wrong with it. Finally, she gave up her plan to insist on this aspect: "What about other things? I want to hear what Mondstadt can get."

Safire probably didn't want to trick him too hard, so he took out a gorgeous sword and placed it on the small table in front of Qin. Qin picked up the sword and touched it gently: "This is it?"

"Star Silver Buried in the Snow." Safire said the name of the sword. "It comes from Fendenir's lost forging technology. How does it feel?"

Qin reluctantly put down the big sword in her hand and nodded: "It's very good, if it can be like the West Wind series weapons..."

Before she could finish speaking, Safire interrupted Qin: "It can be mass-produced. There are forging drawings, but there is a problem."

"What's the problem?" Qin had already seen the value of this drawing and couldn't wait to ask. Mondstadt's current armament is not perfect. The lethality of the standard weapon West Wind series is not high, and it is more towards the direction of elemental affinity. This is This resulted in a serious shortage of knights in the Mondstadt Knights.

Compared with the West Wind Great Sword, the most outstanding feature of this snow-buried star silver is its sharpness and sturdiness. She can even feel the ice element energy contained in the sword. If this sword is given to Yura to use, her combat effectiveness will increase by more than one level.

"The forging material of this weapon is a problem. It requires the use of star silver ore. This thing is a specialty ore of the Snow Mountain. I have never seen it elsewhere. I asked our advance team to collect this sword from the Dragon's Back Snow Mountain. It was only made after getting enough star silver ore." Safire had no intention of hiding it. She knew that Qin would definitely use this shortcoming to lower the price after learning this, but equally, she also knew very well that the Knights must have Considerable reserves of star silver ore. It's just that I can't find a place to use it and can only put it on hold temporarily.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Qin felt a burst of ecstasy in her heart. She knew very well what the Star Silver Ore was. This thing had been gathering dust in the Knights' warehouse for many years, and was only used when making thermos bottles. With a little use, there are now far fewer commissions for star silver ore. Without demand, there is no market. This is an eternal truth.

However, Qin's next move was beyond Safir's expectations. She decisively agreed to Safir's proposal, saying that the Knights of the West Wind would try their best to cooperate with the Fools' plans for the development of snow mountains and the establishment of supply lines.

This made Safire a little confused. Qin explained: "This drawing is very important to us. It can greatly improve the overall combat power of our knights. I have no reason to refuse."

After a moment of silence, Safire said: "Qin, you are not suitable to be a leader."

"I never think that I am a qualified leader. Everything I do is what I think is right. I don't understand the intrigues. Maybe many people will think that I am rigid and do not know how to adapt, or that I am stupid, but So what? What Mondstadt needs has never been a leader, just a guardian." Qin lifted up her hanging hair and looked at Safire with a smile.

Safire looked at her smile and laughed too. He seemed to understand what Qin meant, but he didn't seem to understand. She could probably feel that Qin was deliberately giving her benefits. Qin never took the initiative in this negotiation. Striving for more benefits, is this a sign of goodwill? or……

Safir couldn't figure it out, maybe Qin's purpose was what she said from the beginning. Just like the words that surfaced in her heart when she first obtained the Eyes of God, Qin has been practicing them and has never forgotten them to this day.

"Eternal Protector of Mondstadt."
