Landed Xumi: There is no problem with my numbers!

"Well, I guess maybe you were so engrossed in your conversation that you didn't notice?

But it’s not important.”

"Anyway, I came here to discuss something with Mr. Albedo, so I can't leave now.

When we are both free later, we can invite you two to get together after a long absence."

I casually brushed off my sense of harmony with the world.

Looking at Paimeng, whose eyes lit up when he heard that there was food to eat, Lin Feng shook his head, feeling that this guy was still as easily distracted as ever.

Simply say goodbye to Ying and Paimon who are about to leave,

Lin Feng and Albedo were the only two people left in the originally busy laboratory.

Looking at the Chief Alchemist who had fallen silent for some reason,

Having just listened to their conversation for a while, Lin Feng finally remembered the physical test that Albedo performed on the little yellow-haired boy in the snowy mountains in the game:

——Although there are many different testing methods and the process seems to be more reasonable,

But after a lot of fancy testing, I finally came to the conclusion that the little yellow-haired boy was "ordinary".

I shook my head, temporarily suppressing this very distant memory.

He knew best how tough the little yellow-haired boy was, and based on this point alone, he thought that Albedo must have missed a few items in the test at that time.

"."

While Lin Feng was reminiscing, Albedo said nothing.

But this was not out of politeness as to not interrupt others, but because he didn't know what to think of the person in front of him:

——Unlike the two travelers, he felt an indescribable "harmony" in this person.

It was like the highest alchemical masterpiece that the master had been pursuing from the beginning to the end.

He didn't know what had happened in such a short period of time, but the little breath of life emanating from this person had reached a level that he could not understand.

".I couldn't tell last time, but who are you, Excellency?"

"Oh, you noticed it? As expected of the chief alchemist of the Knights."

"But what I am is not that important, just like who you are."

"Now it seems that you haven't fully grasped all the special features of this body?"

After mastering the three powers, the cycle of elements has taken shape.

With a deeper understanding of the nature of life and the world, Lin Feng could easily discover that Albedo's body in front of him was not so "perfect".

".As I told the two travelers, my mastery of alchemy is far from the level of my master.

Looking at your current condition, I am afraid I am not qualified to provide guidance in the field of "Life Alchemy". "

——It was as if he had seen his own finished product. Albedo felt that the one in front of him could even be called the pinnacle of "living things".

Even though he didn't know that the power of the grass element would make the essence of life more perfect, he had roughly guessed the true identity of this person based on some of the rumors he had collected before:

This is probably one of the two gods who governs Xumi.

"——It doesn't matter. I don't have much energy to delve deeper into alchemy right now. It won't have much impact if I don't learn some things for the time being."

“There are actually only two parts that I want to know the most:

——Mapping and containing the soul, and transforming and shaping the power of the "abyss."

!!!

He paused, realizing that the person in front of him had a much better understanding of the "Black Earth Technique" than ordinary people, and was even interested in the same things as his master.

Albedo was about to explain that these two techniques were too dangerous and he couldn't master them.

Then he heard the other party make an offer he couldn't refuse:

"——In the future, I will use this technology to try to rebuild the body of the soul of a deceased demon god in Mondstadt.

And under the premise of ensuring absolute safety, carve some new, commandable abyssal creatures."

"——And in these actions, if you are willing, then I will not refuse you to participate in it."

"."

"."

A long silence,

But just as Lin Feng predicted, this might be the only chance in the entire Teyvat to come into contact with this level of practical operation.

In the end, although Mond's chief alchemist was a little hesitant, he still nodded with difficulty and gave an affirmative answer.

Chapter 409 Ying: What’s going on? Do I have to queue up to invite someone to dinner?

A moment later, deep inside the laboratory.

As the two figures approached,

The exquisitely shaped wall-mounted alchemical lamps on both sides of the road also lit up on their own as if they had life, emitting bright white light that was no less bright than the sun.

Although due to objective work needs, this alchemy laboratory is one of the most closed areas in the Knights,

But under the care of Albedo, who uses this place most frequently, there is miraculously none of the oppression and dimness that is unique to secret rooms.

"."

Following the guide in front, Lin Feng walked forward while visiting with great interest.

After all, for a long time in the past, he basically did everything by hand. In most cases, he just gave the requirements and watched the elements play out on their own.

Therefore, even though he had consulted some alchemy books in the Order Institute, Lin Feng was still curious about the alchemy equipment of these different schools:

——In his opinion, the things Albedo used were actually closer to the instruments used by the Life Theory School than the "alchemy" of Xumi.

The details are the most important.

Just from the fact that the styles of the tools are so different, we can see that the alchemy preserved in Kanreya and the alchemy today can be said to be two completely different systems.

???

".This is?"

Halfway through the walk, I suddenly discovered a small laboratory table that was wrapped in layers of protective materials and was extremely airtight.

Lin Feng looked at the bright red and white colors and the several lizard tails on the material table and felt that this was obviously not something Albedo would use.

".Well, this is Klee's special lab table. Generally, she uses it to make some weird explosives."

As if thinking of something troubling, Albedo, who had always had a calm expression, also showed some helplessness that was visible to the naked eye.

But after all, he had already spoken, so he continued to explain very conscientiously:

"——I think you have met Klee before, and she once mentioned you to me."

“In short, for some reason, I am now one of Klee’s guardians.

The reason why this lab table was placed here was because she had blown up the confinement room twice before.

In order to let Klee go to another place to research bombs, Jean asked me to help arrange these things.

Don't worry, Klee is extremely lucky, and the explosives in her hands will hardly explode unless she wants them to. Just ignore it."

"."

After hearing Albedo's introduction, Lin Feng remembered that when he first came into contact with the outside world, he seemed to be induced by Alice to agree to take care of Klee.

It is said that after agreeing to this, Albedo's available research time was directly reduced by 80%.

"——Well, here we are.

This is where I keep some of my manuscripts.”

Before Lin Feng could estimate how many poor lizards Klee had harmed over such a long time,

Albedo's words also drew his attention back.

"."

".These? Is this the research you did earlier on soul mapping and shaping?

Well, it seems that the number of files is much less than expected. "

Lin Feng was a little surprised.

".Difficulty and risk are one thing, but the most important reason is that there are no opportunities to practice.

Even if we put aside the public’s fear of this technology, if we want to map the soul, we must at least be able to find the soul.”

“But obviously,

Compared to some other countries, Mondstadt, where there are almost no wandering souls in the outside world, is not a suitable place for practical operations in many aspects. "

It seems that because he has already agreed to something more dangerous, Albedo's answer at this time is closer to that of a pure researcher.

Before this, although he would never use his alchemy in research directions that would hurt others,

But considering the low level of acceptance of alchemy among the people of Mond, he would definitely be more tactful in his expression.

".Is that so? That's understandable."

It is also clear that except for extraordinary individuals, it is difficult for the souls of humans and other species to exist in the outside world for a long time.

Apart from the fact that the boundary between life and death in Liyue is somewhat special, so much so that an exorcist is needed to help dispel the evil spirits.

In most other areas, things like "ghosts" can only be regarded as folk legends.

Unless one actively kills intelligent creatures, it will be impossible to find it. The first step of the whole process will be stuck, not to mention the subsequent refining of the body that can be called "taboo".

".Well, I'm sorry, if I talk about soul mapping, I guess I have some experience.

As for the body shaping, there are only some documents left by the master that can be studied at present."

"Whether it is to bring the will of the outside world to Teyvat, or to allow the dead to move again in the world,

My master has warned me about this level of "taboo".

According to her, unless I reach her level, these experiments should not be carried out casually and must be kept within certain limits.

The conditions for research on the abyss are even more stringent."

Albedo honestly stated his current level, without any intention of hiding anything.

Because the source of his alchemy is so special,

Referring to Kanriya’s past ending, he has always taken his master’s warnings very seriously.

"enough."

"In fact, we have plenty of 'time'.

With these theories and the experimental data left by predecessors, it is not impossible to reproduce it from scratch."

“As for the taboos.”

Noticing this unavoidable restriction, Lin Feng paused slightly.

Finally, he looked forward and told Albedo his solution in a surprised look:

"——Well, don't worry too much, just do your research normally.

I can assure you that there are no taboos around me.”

"."

".Okay, I will fully cooperate."

The stories spread by the outside world and what he saw with his own eyes corroborated each other, and Albedo had no doubt about the power of the man in front of him.

Since the other party has promised with the credibility of the gods that their research will benefit the entire Teyvat,

Albedo, who got this opportunity, would no longer be timid:

——As a creation of "Golden Rhinedot", he could not understand why his master would abandon him like this.

But unfounded thinking will not bring answers, but will only make the thinker more confused.

According to their parting words, his only chance to see his master again is to improve his alchemy skills and find the "meaning" of the world.
