Genshin Impact: Reincarnation as a Hilichurl

"Then I'll go look for it in the Knights' Order first."

He left as soon as he said he would. After putting the healing potion on the synthesis table into his left waist bag, Wang Chen headed for the Knights.

Although he didn't know where Albedo's laboratory was, he could ask Lisa and visit her whenever he wanted to maintain their relationship.

When I pushed open the door of the library, I saw Lisa sitting at the front desk flipping through a thick book with a cup of black tea beside her. Noticing the movement at the door, she raised her emerald green eyes and glanced at it briefly.

Lisa must be good at alchemy too. Maybe I can just ask Lisa for help, Wang Chen thought as he walked towards her.

Then he asked without any politeness.

"This is different from the alchemy direction I specialize in. I suggest you ask Albedo."

"Then do you know where Albedo's laboratory is?"

Seeing Wang Chen change his target without hesitation, Lisa knew what he was thinking. She took a sip of black tea and said faintly, "So you came to me just to ask for directions."

"No way, Sister Lisa, if you want to do anything, just call me and I will definitely accompany you."

"Oh? Then you should memorize this book, "Introduction". It's only about 800 pages long."

Wang Chen was delighted. Isn't this just walking into trouble?

"Okay! Do you want to hear it recited forwards or backwards?"

"Haha~ I was just joking with you, but you took it seriously. Albedo's laboratory is about one thousand meters southeast of the Knights. There's a flag of the Knights at the door. You'll definitely be able to recognize it when you get closer."

"Then Sister Lisa, bye?"

"Walk slowly without sending."

Following the direction indicated by Lisa, Wang Chen found a two-story building with Mond's usual red-tiled roof. The overall look was ordinary.

Usually, places like this would have a sign on the door saying "xx restricted area, no entry for unauthorized persons" but there isn't one here.

"There's a flag of the Knights of Favonius at the door. This should be it, right?"

"Knock, knock, knock!" Wang Chen knocked on the door politely.

"Thump, thump, thump!" There was a familiar sound of shoes hitting the wooden floor.

The door cracked open and a little head poked out.

"Hello, little friend." The moment he made eye contact with Keli, Wang Chen touched his nose awkwardly.

"Big bad guy! Big bad guy!" The door was closed, and one could even hear the sound of it being locked from inside.

"What's wrong?" Another girl's voice came from the room.

"There are big bad guys out there who are lying to people." One can imagine Ke Li making faces while describing Wang Chen.

"No! I'm a good person!"

"That's what bad guys say!"

"But I really am a good person. I am an honorary knight of the Knights Templar!"

The room was quiet for a moment, and then another sound of footsteps approached.

"Kelly, be good, let me open the door and see who's here."

"Well……"

The door opened again, and a girl whose height, body shape, and hair color were very similar to the Leiying Warlock appeared in front of Wang Chen.

She pushed up her round-framed glasses so that she could get a better look at the suspicious figure in the black cloak standing at the door.

Whether it is Klee's evaluation of him or this outfit, it is worth being more careful. But this Duduko on his cloak... is he someone Klee knows?

Sandang was a little shy, but still asked: "Can you please explain your identity first?"

"Well, my name is Chen, and I'm a newly promoted honorary knight of the Knights Templar. Although I haven't met Albedo yet, I heard from Kaia that he was the one who recommended me for this position."

Sucrose breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she had indeed seen the internal notice before, and it was indeed related to Klee and Albedo. "Hello, what can I do for you?"

"I need Mr. Albedo's help with something. Is he here now?"

"He is busy, but will be ready soon. Please come in and wait for a moment." Shatang made way for Wang Chen to enter the house.

Wang Chen stepped into this ordinary-looking laboratory and saw Klee pouting behind Sucrose and a room full of strange instruments, but no Albedo.

He looked towards the stairs leading to the second floor again and heard some faint explosions.

Albedo is not on the first floor, so he is doing experiments on the second floor.

After Shatang closed the door, she pulled a chair for Wang Chen and brought him a cup of tea. As a result, Keli also pulled a chair and sat opposite Wang Chen, staring at him without blinking.

She couldn't help but be curious, so she asked Wang Chen, "Mr. Chen, do you and Ke Li have any problems?"

Wang Chen laughed: "These are all misunderstandings. I was entrusted by someone to act out a play."

Klee: “Hmph!”

"How about this, Klee? I'll take you to make bombs, eat a whole fish banquet, and watch a circus, and then all our grudges will be written off, okay?"

"Hmph! I've had enough fish, I've developed a new bomb, and I'm tired of the circus for now. Now I just want to go painting with Brother Albedo."

That won’t work. I also want to use your brother Albedo.

"By the way, is the alchemy matter you want to ask Mr. Albedo for help with? My name is Sucrose, and I'm Mr. Albedo's assistant. If it's alchemy, I can also try to solve it." Sucrose wanted to break the disharmonious atmosphere between the two, so she asked again.

Wang Chen described his needs to Sugar, who touched his ear a little embarrassedly and said, "If there is anyone in Mondstadt who can make a prop like this, it would probably be Mr. Albedo."

Hearing this, Klee chuckled. Although she didn't understand what the big bad guy wanted, she had to ask her brother Albedo for help.

"I've made an appointment with Brother Albedo to go painting this afternoon, and tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and forever and ever after that!"

"Ah! Isn't it only this afternoon?" Sucrose was surprised. She still had to learn alchemy from Albedo.

Klee jumped off the bench and ran to Sugar, covering her ears and whispered, "Sister Sugar, I was lying to this bad guy."

Unfortunately, Wang Chen heard it.

The furry ear of some unknown species was blown by the airflow from Klee's whisper. The ear on the other side of Sugar trembled unnaturally, and her cheeks visibly warmed up.

She and Wang Chen looked at each other, their eyes revealing helplessness and embarrassment, "Ke Li, this is not a good thing to do."

"It doesn't matter. I was wrong last time."

Wang Chen said to Klee in a serious tone: "Klee, besides painting with Albedo, if you have anything else you want or want to do, I will help you realize it, and our grudges will be written off, okay?"

"Hmm, can you bring my mother back?"

Wang Chen suddenly had an idea: "How about I tell you a fairy tale. The protagonist of this fairy tale is also called Alice."

"What fairy tale can you tell? Can it be better than "Fairy Tale in the Box"? " Hearing that Wang Chen was going to tell a fairy tale, Keli shook her head confidently.

"Maybe? If you don't like it, then you don't have to reconcile with me, how about that?"

Ke Li crossed her arms, tilted her head, turned a blind eye and said, "Then I'll listen reluctantly."

Wang Chen silently paid tribute to Hans Christian Andersen, Jacob Grimm, and Wilhelm Grimm in his heart, and then to Lewis Carroll. Although their works have passed the copyright protection period and are in a different world, one still has to have a bit of respect when plagiarizing them.

Then he slowly told the story of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland according to his memory: "The protagonist of the story is also a little girl, she is only seven years old, her name is also Alice, she also has a pair of cute elf ears and beautiful long golden hair. She wears a red and white dress, chases a talking white rabbit with a pocket watch, and walks into this story."

"A talking rabbit?"

"Yes, the talking rabbit."

…………

As Wang Chen told the story, Klee was gradually attracted to the fairy tale, and even Sugar listened with great interest.

Wang Chen discovered that Albedo had already stood on the staircase leading to the second floor. The slight pause allowed Klee and Sucrose to notice him.

"Non-birthday tea party, very interesting, please continue." Albedo walked down the stairs holding the stair railing, poured himself a cup of tea, and sat in the 'audience seats'.

By the time the whole fairy tale was finished, an hour had passed since Wang Chen's visit.

Klee then asked a lot of questions that had been accumulating: "What is a dodo?"

"It is a creature that is similar in shape to a duck, but much larger than a duck, and it has a hooked beak."

"And the Queen of Hearts?"

"A playing card with a mouth, nose and eyes? You can imagine what she looks like."

"Are there really animals that can talk and foods that can grow bigger or smaller after eating?" When Klee asked this question, Sugar's eyes lit up and were full of anticipation.

But Wang Chen could only tell the truth: "I think probably not."

"Why haven't I heard of such a magical fairy tale before?" Keli tilted her head, unable to understand.

“Because I haven’t published this book yet.”

“?” Klee and Sucrose were both surprised.

Only Albedo seemed to have expected this. He held his chin with one hand and asked, "What's the title of the book?"

"Alice in Wonderland."

"Fairyland!" Sugar exclaimed softly.

Is this someone else's wonderland? Although it is somewhat different from my own, it is still very valuable for reference.

Albedo continued to ask: "You are not 'Ashes'?"

"uh-huh."
