Chapter 247: The Emptiness of Social Death
"What! Paimon is Paimon! Not something weird! Paimon, who was hiding in his clothes, protested.
"I'm sorryβ" Realizing that he was offended, Albedo simply apologized.
Walking through a col, Albedo led the two to his camp, "My camp has arrived." β
Arriving at the fire, Paimon slipped out of his plush coat, "Wow! What a big cave! β
"This is where I study." Albedo opened the pot that had been kept warm by the fire, took out two bowls of vegetable stew with thick sauce, and poured hot water on the two of them.
"The conditions are simple, eat something to warm up."
Paimon and Sora sit by the fire and happily drink a bowl of hot soup, feeling the cold around them be dispelled.
I have to say that in such a cold weather, it is a beautiful thing to be able to drink a bowl of hot soup.
Albedo sat on the side, fiddling with the fire to make it burn brighter.
"I've heard a lot about your performance in the Dragon Calamity, and I'm very interested in your extraordinary control of elemental power and many mysteries......
Airspace looked at him to see what Albedo was trying to say, "I wonder if you're willing to help me with some research, I'll pay you accordingly." β
"Research? What kind of research? Is it the kind of research that swoops to make flowers like you did before? Paimon was curious.
Albedo shook his head, "There is something relevant. He looked at Sora and asked in Sora's puzzled gaze, "Did you come all the way from [the other world]?" β
Sora was stunned, he didn't expect to be seen through so easily by this person who had only met him once.
"How do you know?"
Not many people know about this at the moment, and there are only a few people, and this Albedo is obviously not in this category.
"You, like a friend of mine, have the smell of the sea of stars on you."
"Friends? Can you tell me who it is? Sora was curious about the friend Albedo was talking about.
Could this friend be Ying?
Albedo did not rush to answer him, but fell into thought.
For now, not many people knew Jiang Bai's identity, and as far as he said, only him and that Mr. Zhongli, even his hall master, didn't know about this matter.
And judging from the false god eyes he carried with him, he probably didn't want people to know about his peculiarity.
Thinking, in Sora's disappointed gaze, he shook his head, "I'm sorry, I can't reveal his identity without his permission." β
"What kind of research are you going to do?" Sora asked.
Albedo pulled out a seed, "This is the one I got from out of this world before, with the help of my friend, I've got a little idea to make it bloom, but I still need more experimental samples." β
"I have a question, what will grow from this seed when it sprouts?" Paimon floated over.
"I don't know, but I think the focus is not on the result, but on the process. If I can use alchemy to awaken a life that does not belong to this world in Teyvat, my understanding of the nature of life should be further advanced. After that, even if it is created, it is not impossible......"
Having been able to create, he will be able to bring his own life form one step closer, and he will no longer be different from human beings in the essence of life.
"I don't understand...... But I only care about one thing, how much will you pay us? Paimon rubbed his hands in anticipation.
Albedo thought for a moment, "Well, in terms of value...... Wouldn't a million Mora be a bit less? β
"A million Mora!" Paimon's eyes changed to Mora's shape, and he agreed without thinking, "No problem!" We took this commission! β
The corners of the empty mouth twitched, but it was too late to stop it.
Judging from Albedo's words, they could have raised the price again, and two million or three million might be possible......
But Paimon's words cost him two million.
If Jiang Bai was here, he would definitely make Albedo doubling his madness, but this was empty, he couldn't do this kind of thing, so he could only suffer this loss silently.
"Let's take a break, let's start the first study......"
"What was the first study?"
"It's about elemental forces. I'd like to see if you use elemental forces in the same way as my friend, and before I can do that, I need to ask you a few questions. β
Sora nodded, indicating that he was ready.
Albedo took out his notebook and prepared to compare Jiang Bai's situation at that time.
"First of all, do you have organs that no one else has? Like the second heart, the fourth stomach and so on. β
"Probably not."
"Are your organs different from normal Teyvats? Strength, activity, healing power...... These, is there a difference? β
Sora was suddenly asked.
He couldn't answer this question at all, because he didn't know how strong and active the Teyvat organs were.
"I don't know ......"
"Then wait a minute."
Albedo stepped into his lab bench and quickly dispensed a bottle of potion.
"This bottle of potion can detect the activity of your internal organs."
Paimon was a little nervous, "There won't be any danger, right?" β
"No, although there are a few side effects, it is not harmful to the body." Albedo shook his head.
"What kind of side effects?"
"It will put the human body into a state of gas excretion for a period of time."
This potion is a bit similar to what Jiang Bai drank last time, but it is not the same. That is, after the last time, he has improved this series of potions a lot, although the side effect is also gas excretion, but after the improvement, the excretion is normal gas, and there is no taste.
The empty commander drank the potion suspiciously.
The potion has no taste, and the taste is very watery, and there is no difference in drinking water.
But soon, he felt a puff of gas swim through his body, swimming through his limbs, and finally found an entrance.
"Poofβ"
A loud, long fart resounded through the cave, like the sound of a balloon being released for half a minute.
Sora rubbed from his neck to his face and became congested, like a roasting boar, red and red.
Albedo and Paimon tried to keep their composure, but they shrugged their shoulders and endured hardship.
Just when I was trying to find a snowdrift to bury myself, this long fart finally ended.
He was like a dehydrated fish at the moment, slumped in his chair, losing any energy.
For the sake of a million Mora, he was completely dead......
"Didn't you say it's just gas excretion! How so! Paimon was upset about the death of the society.
"I'm sorry, I ignored ......," Albedo apologized sincerely.
The side effect of the medicine given to Jiang Bai before was to fart in stink, and he learned a lesson and improved it, although the taste was gone, it obviously caused more damage to the physical and mental health of the experimenter......
The next bottle should be improved again, and it may be a good choice to promote gastrointestinal peristalsis.
