Explorer of Teyvat

"The teacher pursues the most perfect creation, but the life she originally created has more or less flaws. The same goes for that guy. If you can't give him what he wants, you can't appease him and make him awaken to good thoughts. And I don't want to Destroy him directly, after all, he is my relative."

"I want to let him understand what [a person] is first, and then let him become a [person]."

Albedo's tone was a little slow, and it could be heard that he had some special feelings for the fake Albedo.

Oh...maybe it's family affection.

As the most perfect creation of 'Gold', he has no conventional brothers or sisters.

The remains of the sleeping dragon at the foot of the mountain and the fake Albedo in Mondstadt City are the ones who can best be regarded as relatives of Albedo besides Keli.

"So, you want to slowly let him understand that he is a separate [person]?"

"If you understand it this way, it's not wrong."

"Okay, it's all your business anyway." Wang Dao nodded, not going to go any further on the topic of fake Albedo.

He came to Abedo this time, saying he was reminiscing about old times, but in fact, he really wanted to ask about something.

"Can you tell me about your teacher?" Wang Daoyi looked at Albedo with a little desire in his eyes.

After a moment of silence, Abedo raised his head and stirred the bonfire with branches, making the bonfire more intense.

Then he looked at Wang Daoyi,

"I know what you want to ask, but I'm very sorry. Ever since I can remember, I have been exploring the deep realm of secrets with the teacher. As for the matter of Kanria, the teacher has never mentioned it to me."

Although he didn't have much contact with Wang Daoyi, Albedo could also see that Wang Dao's thirst for unknown knowledge, just like his pursuit of the mysteries of the world, was endless.

The existence of Kanrea can be regarded as a relatively big unknown in this world.

It's a pity that Abedo really doesn't know, because when he was born, Kanrea had already reached its end, and Abedo had never been to the land of Kanrea.

As the most perfect creation, he was sent into the secret realm by Reindot when he was born. He has been following Reindot to explore the secret realm and has never left.

Hearing this, Wang Daoyi was a little disappointed. He thought he could get some tips from Albedo.

He did not doubt Abedo's words. Just as Abedo understood Wang Daoyi, Wang Daoyi also understood Abedo.

If the other party really knows, he will definitely tell you. Even if he can't tell Wang Daoyi, he will tell you that he can't tell you. He will never lie or conceal anything.

"In that case, let's talk about your teacher alone. Before, I met an unknown existence that seemed to be related to the 'Witches' Coven'. This time, in addition to looking for you, I also wanted to find out about the astrologer. The Witch Council exists.”

"Witches, I don't know much about this association, but my teacher is indeed one of them, and Kelly's mother, the great adventurer Ms. Alice, is also one of them. The astrologer you mentioned, He should be the descendant of one of them, these are the only three that I know about."

"I am not familiar with the story of Ms. Alice and the astrologer, but, my teacher, I can indeed tell you about it."

Wang Daoyi's eyes lit up and he sat up straight, pretending to be listening.

After looking at Wang Daoyi’s serious look,

Abedo nodded secretly, although he was willing to share his story with Wang Daoyi,

But if Wang Daoyi is very casual, he will also be unhappy.

On the contrary, as soon as Wang Dao appeared to listen carefully, Abedo was very satisfied.

However, Abedo did not show any of this, and his face remained calm.

"In my eyes, the teacher is a cold and strict woman. She raised me and taught me a lot of profound knowledge."

"At that time, life was really monotonous. I didn't have to think about complicated things. I just accompanied Master every day, completed Master's instructions, and fulfilled Master's expectations. Now that I think about it, I really wasted a lot of time at that time. ah."

[Abedo told Wang Daoyi about his time with Huang Jin, which was mostly spent exploring secret realms and repeating boring experiments. 】

"And suddenly one day, Master found something in [the depths of the world]. It was a sacred relic called [Heart of Naberish]."

"Not long after that, Master left in a hurry, leaving me a note, a letter, and a classic."

"Oh, there is one more special thing. Master said that I can leave the army and gave me the title of [Son of Chalk]."

With some memories, Abedo slowly finished telling the story about himself and his teacher,

Then a slight apology appeared on his face: "I'm sorry, I say it's the teacher's story. In fact, most of it is about me. I don't know much about the teacher."

Wang Daoyi shook his head, these things can bring him some ideas, they are all useful 'knowledge',

"No, these are very helpful to me."

At least Wang Daoyi can figure out some things.

For example, after the destruction of Kanria, the 'Golden' Reindot did not die, but was still active in some secret realms.

She was even active in [the depths of the world] and found something in it.

If it weren't for Abedo's narration, Wang Daoyi might never know these things.

Although Wang Daoyi may not be able to use these things for the time being, this kind of secret close to the depths of the world will be used sooner or later.

"I've finished telling my story. As for you, it seems you are close to that position." Abedo added more firewood to the campfire.

Although neither of them was afraid of the cold, there was another one sleeping next to them.

Xingqiu was probably really tired, and after a while, he actually fell asleep.

"Yes, we are close to that position. After the Liyue Sea Lantern Festival, I will almost take that step." Wang Dao nodded with a sigh in his tone. The last time he came to Mondstadt, he still felt that the road to God was long. ,

Suddenly, Wang Daoyi remembered something,

"By the way, will you come to watch the ceremony then? Although I don't know what will happen at that time, it may be helpful to your research."

Originally, Wang Daoyi was not prepared to let anyone watch his ascension to the gods.

However, Wang Daoyi felt that Abedo was someone he could invite.

Among the people he knows, there are many people who like to do research, but he can get along well with Wang Daoyi.

Only Albedo and Dotore,

But Dotore definitely can't invite him. If that guy comes, he might do some strange experiment.

Moreover, that guy is an enemy.

Therefore, Wang Daoyi could only invite Albedo to see if he could see anything interesting from the fact that he was a god.

Although Wang Daoyi is a person who has ascended to the gods, outsiders may not be able to fully see the scene at that time.

The term "dark under the lamp" has some truth no matter where it is used.

"Want to watch the ceremony of ascending to the gods?"

Abedo's eyes lit up.

Although his research on the world has surpassed most existences, he still knows nothing about gods, the most mysterious existence in the world.

Observing the arrival ceremony of a new god might really bring some new progress to his project.

Oh, Albedo’s project is the last homework left for him by ‘Golden’ Reindot.

[Final topic: Show me the truth of the world and the meaning of the world! 】

Regarding this subject, even now, Abedo has made almost no progress. In Abedo's self-perception, this subject has completely exceeded his capabilities.

However, even so, Abedo never thought about giving up. Instead, he continued to explore new cognitive paths, hoping to find an effective path that would allow him to glimpse into the nature of the world.

Therefore, after Wang Daoyi sent out the invitation,

Abedo has decided in his heart to agree to Wang Daoyi's request.

However, he deeply understands that everything has a price. The price may be big or small, but it must exist.

Therefore, Abedo looked at Wang Daoyi: "So, what's the price?"

"The price." I, Wang Daoyi, pondered for a while, then raised his head and looked into Albedo's indigo eyes, "Then use your alchemy knowledge in exchange. I have admired the alchemy you mastered for a long time. .”

The [Alchemy] mastered by Albedo is different from the existing technology in any of the seven countries of Teyvat.

His apprentice was from a country outside the Seven Kingdoms—Kanria.

As the perfect creation of 'Golden' Reindot, he also inherited 'Golden' Reindot's understanding of the alchemy of Camria.

Canria is hidden deep underground and has very few natural animal species.

Therefore, the [Alchemy] it holds focuses more on the branch field of [Creating Life], which is the art of nurturing life - [The Art of Black Earth].

The advanced level of [Black Soil] is [Chalk].

In a sense, compared to those cultivators, relic dragon beasts, or those super treasures left on the land of Xumi,

Albedo is the highest creation of Kanria alchemy.

After listening to Wang Dao's description of the price, Abedo thought for a moment, then nodded slightly:

"The teacher's country has denied the gods countless times, but is still destroyed by the gods. This can be seen that compared to the knowledge of Kanreya alchemy that I have mastered, the unknown gods' information is indeed more valuable. In this case, I promise you Invited."

After saying that, Abedo stretched out his hand, and wisps of light bloomed in his hand.

"Then, I will show you the secret of Kanria alchemy now!"

"The universe is the black essence of the real starry sky, and the stratum is the accumulated memory of time and life. Chalk is the unsullied soil and the material of primitive man, while black soil is the etymology of alchemy and the foundation of life."

The radiance in Albedo's hands is constantly transforming, and the different divisions of existence in the alchemy of Canria are easily embodied by Albedo.

Tiny insects are born in the dark soil, and those insects are the first life,

As Abedo continued to control the black soil to evolve, the tiny insects also began to evolve continuously.

From tiny bugs to crawling crawlers,

And when this crawling reptile continued to absorb nutrients from the black soil under Albedo's control, finally, a beautiful butterfly appeared in Albedo's hands,

The butterfly flaps its wings and flies up slowly, just like insects that have been in nature for thousands of years.

There is no way to tell that it was just created.

Wang Daoyi's eyes were filled with surprise.

Compared to using elemental ascent and sedimentation to create elemental creatures,

Abedo's alchemy of creating life out of thin air is indeed a level that Wang Daoyi cannot currently reach.

"It's really amazing!" With words of admiration, Wang Daoyi also stretched out his hand, and the original black pupils turned into golden eyes under the rendering of gnosis.

He was imitating, imitating Albedo's previous actions,

Soon, wisps of alchemical brilliance gathered in Wang Daoyi's hands and turned into black soil.

Looking at the soil in his hand, Wang Daoyi confirmed that this was not the actual soil, but the embodiment of a certain concept. However, under the visual perception, this embodiment looked like black soil. Same.

Continue to imitate Albedo's movements,

They are just the tiniest insects in the dark soil. These tiny beings have no intelligence. They rely solely on their desire for life to find the energy to survive and evolve in the dark soil.

Looking at these insects, Wang Daoyigang showed joy,

The dark soil in my hand suddenly fluctuated,

The tiny insects that had started to evolve were completely wiped out in an instant.

The weak fire of life was extinguished in an instant as if blown by the wind.

"this"

Wang Dao was stunned for a moment.

"The mood swings you just had affected the internal environment of the black soil, which is like a hotbed for life. Suddenly experiencing violent storms, those tiny lives cannot withstand these, so you failed."

Abedo stood aside and looked at the dark soil in Wang Daoyi's hand. He gave the answer before Wang Daoyi asked.

"Do mood swings also affect the refinement of life?"

"Of course, creating life is not a power that ordinary people can control. Maintaining a stable mood when doing work is the most basic quality."

After saying that, Abedo suddenly showed a strange expression, as if he remembered something,

"Speaking of which, when I first came into contact with Life Refining, it was also because of the joy of success in the first step that it led to the failure of subsequent steps. The sentence just now was what the teacher taught me at that time."

There was a little nostalgia in his tone,

For his teacher, the mother who is not his mother, "Golden" Reindot, Albedo has special emotions in his heart, either family affection or mentorship.

Or the feeling of admiration,

In short, thinking about what happened with the teacher, Abedo felt a little confused.

On the side, Wang Dao looked a little strange when he saw Abedo talking and then suddenly losing his mind. He didn't expect Abedo to lose his mind sometimes.

However, Wang Daoyi had no intention of disturbing him and continued to experiment with [Black Earth Life Alchemy].

Calm your mind,

Soon, tiny insects were born again in the dark soil, and a new life was born again, and soon began to evolve under Wang Daoyi's control.

Starting from the first sprout of life in the dark soil, those tiny insects greedily absorbed everything in the black soil,

From a worm to a reptile, to a cocoon, and finally to a butterfly.

This time, Wang Daoyi kept his mind calm and there were no surprises.

The butterfly engraved with beautiful patterns slowly flew up from Wang Dao's hand, and then fell to the ground with a clatter.

"Ah this."

Perhaps it was Wang Daoyi’s words that woke up Albedo.

He looked at the surprise on Wang Daoyi's face, and then at the butterfly on the ground.

He stretched out his hand, picked up the butterfly, and observed it.

"It has only the appearance, but no inner part. Its body structure is completely different from that of a normal butterfly. The trunk is too fat and the wings are a little thin. Moreover, why are these patterns engraved on the wings? I saw them, they are not runes, they just look good. meaningless."

Abedo simply checked and pointed out Wang Daoyi’s problem.

In a word, it has only its form but hardly its soul.

Probably Wang Daoyi has not studied in depth such a small creature as a butterfly and does not understand the inner nature of a butterfly.

Therefore, by replicating Albedo's movements, he successfully created the butterfly out of thin air.

But because of Wang Dao's lack of knowledge about butterflies, this butterfly can only look at it and cannot fly.

"Is that really the case? Although I have read a lot of knowledge about the Biophysics School of the Teaching Council, it is just theory after all. I really don't know much about the internal details of biological research."

"However, there is another way to make it fly." Wang Dao thought of his elemental creation circle.

Abedo raised his eyebrows slightly. He was also very interested in the method Wang Daoyi said. He stretched out his hand and handed the fluttering butterfly in his hand to Wang Daoyi.

Reaching out to take the flightless butterfly, Wang Daoyi's elemental power surged in his hand, and an elemental creation array was formed in the void. Even in the snowy mountains, there were still endless rock elements that responded to Wang Daoyi's call and continued to flow towards them. Elemental Creation Array,

The rock element wrapped the flightless butterfly, rising continuously under the influence of the magic circle. The fragile butterfly body collapsed under the influence of the elemental force.

Turn into little bits and pieces and rise together with the elemental power,

Finally, a small crystal butterfly appeared on top of the elemental creation circle, but...

The crystal butterfly flapped its wings, and this time, it slowly flew up.

"Oh, through the transformation of matter and elements, the butterfly is briefly transformed into elements, and then the elements are lifted up to gather them into crystal butterflies. What a good idea!"

"Unfortunately, the transformed butterfly seems to have changed its logic. It no longer maintains its original insect habits, but has become a true elemental life logic."

Abedo saw through Wang Daoyi's methods and saw some loopholes, but he also showed an interested look.

The method of converting material life into elemental creatures, even if it is only used on a butterfly that cannot fly, cannot conceal the advanced nature of this method.

"If the butterfly is replaced by another more advanced creature, can you still transform it?"

There was curiosity in Abedo’s eyes;

Albedo can also transform matter and elements, and even Wang Daoyi's transformation of matter and elements is, in a sense, learned from the knowledge left by Albedo in the West Wind Secret Book.

However, the elemental creation array is not knowledge that Abedo has mastered.

Although he can also create crystal butterflies through other methods, he does not know how to create an elemental formation.

So Abedo is very interested in this unknown knowledge.

"Haha, you taught me the alchemy of Kanria, then I will teach you the art of elemental creation."

"What's the price?"

"You know."
