Chapter 348: Life is Born in the Black Soil (5k)
"The teacher pursues the most perfect creation, but the life she created in the first place is more or less flawed, and that guy is the same, if he can't give him what he wants, he can't be appeased and let him awaken good thoughts, and I don't want to destroy him directly, after all, he is also my relative."
"I think. Let him understand what a man is, and then let him become a man. ”
Albedo's tone was a little slow, and you could hear that he had some special feelings for that fake Albedo.
Oh.. Maybe it's family affection.
As the most perfect creature of Gold, he has no regular brothers and sisters.
The remains of the sleeping dragon at the foot of the mountain and the fake Albedo in Mondstadt are the ones that can be considered Albedo's relatives the most, apart from Klee.
"So, you want to slowly make him understand that he is a [man] in his own right?"
"There's nothing wrong with that."
"Well, it's all your business anyway." Wang Dao nodded a little, and he was not ready to go deeper on the topic of this fake Albedo,
He went to Albedo this time, saying that he was reminiscing, but in fact, he really had something to ask.
"Can you tell me about your teacher?" Wang Dao looked at Albedo with a little longing in his eyes.
After a moment of silence, Albedo raised his head and stirred it up with a twig to make it more vigorous.
Then he looked at Wang Daoyi,
"I know what you want to ask, but I'm very sorry, since I can remember, I've been exploring the secret realm with my teacher, and as for Kanria, my teacher has never mentioned it to me."
Although he has not had much contact with Wang Daoyi, Albedo can also see that Wang Daoyi's thirst for unknown knowledge, like his pursuit of the mysteries of the world, is endless.
And the existence of Kanriya can be regarded as a relatively large unknown in this world.
It's a pity that Albedo really didn't know, because when he was born, Kanria was already at the end of the road, and Albedo had never been to the land of Kanria.
As the most perfect creation, when he was born, he was sent into the secret realm by Reindot, and he has been following Reindot to explore the secret realm and never leave.
Hearing this, Wang Daoyi was a little disappointed, he thought he could get some hints from Albedo,
He didn't doubt Albedo's words, just as Albedo knew Wang Daoyi, Wang Daoyi also knew Albedo,
If the other party really knows, he will definitely say it directly, even if he can't tell Wang Daoyi, he will say that he can't tell you, and he will never lie or hide it.
"In that case, let's talk about your teacher alone, before, I met an unknown existence, it seems to be related to the 'Witch Society', this time, in addition to looking for you, I also want to find the astrologer to understand the existence of the Witch Society."
"The Witch Society, I don't know much about this association, but my teacher is indeed one of them, and Klee's mother, the great adventurer Lady Alice, is also one of them, and the astrologer you mentioned should also be the heir of one of them, and I know that's all there is to them."
"I am not familiar with the story of Lady Alice and the astrologer, but my teacher, I can tell you about it."
Wang Dao's eyes lit up, and the whole person sat up straight, making a listening appearance.
looked at Wang Daoyi's serious look,
Albedo 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 made the appearance of listening carefully, Albedo was very satisfied.
However, Albedo did not show all this, and his face was still calm.
"In my eyes, the teacher was a cold, strict woman who raised me and taught me a lot of profound knowledge."
"At that time, the days were really monotonous, I didn't have to think about anything complicated, I accompanied the master every day, completed the master's instructions, and met the master's expectations.
[Albedo tells Wang Daoyi about the time he spent with Gold, most of which were days of exploring secret realms and repeating boring experiments. 】
"And suddenly one day, Master found something in the depths of the world, and it was a holy relic called the Heart of Naberis."
"Soon after that, Master left in a hurry, leaving me a note, a letter, and a book."
"Oh, there is another special thing, Master said that I can become a teacher, and awarded me the title of [Son of Chalk]."
With some memories, Albedo slowly finished telling the story of himself and his teacher,
Then a little apology appeared on his face: "I'm sorry, it's the teacher's story, but in fact, most of it is my business, and 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, that's going to help me."
At least, Wang Daoyi can figure out some things,
For example, after the destruction of Kanria, the 'gold' Reindott did not die, but was still active in some secret realms.
Even, she was active in the depths of the world, and found something in it.
If it weren't for Albedo's account, Wang Daoyi might never have known about these things.
Although these things may not be needed for the time being, this kind of secret close to the depths of the world will be used sooner or later.
"After I finished my story, what about you, looking at your appearance, it seems that you are already close to that position." Albedo added some wood to the campfire,
Although neither of them is afraid of the cold, there is one sleeping on the side.
Xingqiu was probably really tired, and after a while, he actually fell asleep.
"yes, I'm close to that position, and I'm almost going to take that step after the Liyue Lantern Festival." Wang Dao nodded slightly, and there was some 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, when the time comes, do you want to come to the ceremony? I don't know what will happen at that time, but it may be helpful for your research. ”
Originally, Wang Daoyi was not going to let anyone watch his ascension to the gods.
However, for Albedo, Wang Daoyi felt that he was a person who could be invited.
Among the people he knows, there are many people who like to study, but they can talk to Wang Daoyi.
Only Albedo. and Dotore,
But Dotore certainly can't be invited, and when that guy comes, he might make some strange experiment.
And, that guy, the enemy.
Therefore, Wang Daoyi can only invite Albedo to see if he can see anything interesting from the time he ascended to the gods.
Although Wang Daoyi is a person who ascended to the gods, he may not be able to see the scene at that time as comprehensively as outsiders.
The word black under the lamp, no matter where it is, has some truth.
"Observe the Rite of the Ascending God?"
Albedo's eyes lit up,
Although his study of the world has surpassed most existences, he can still be said to know nothing about the gods, the most mysterious existence in the world.
Observing the advent of a new god may really bring some new progress to his subject.
Oh, Albedo's subject, the 'golden' Reindot's final assignment,
[Final Topic: Show Me the Truth of the World and the Meaning of the World!] 】
Albedo's progress on this subject has been almost none, and in Albedo's self-perception, the subject is completely beyond his ability.
However, even so, Albedo did not think of giving up, but continued to open up new cognitive paths, hoping to find an effective path that would allow him to peek into the nature of the world.
So, after Wang Daoyi sent out the invitation,
Albedo has already decided to agree to Wang Daoyi's request in his heart,
However, he deeply understands that everything has a price, and the price is big and small, but there must be one.
So, Albedo looked at Wang Daoyi: "So, what about the price?" ”
"The price." I pondered for a while, then raised my head and looked into Albedo's indigo blue eyes, "Then exchange your alchemy knowledge, I have admired your alchemy for a long time." ”
Albedo's alchemy is different from the existing technology of any of the Seven Kingdoms of Teyvat.
His teacher is the kingdom beyond the Seven Kingdoms - Kanria,
As the perfect creature of 'Golden' Reindot, he also inherited 'Golden' Reindot's understanding of Kanria alchemy.
Hidden deep underground, there are very few natural animal species.
Therefore, the [Alchemy] it holds is more focused on the sub-field of [Life Creation], which is the art of nurturing life - the [Black Earth Technique].
And the advancement of [Black Soil] is [Chalk].
In a sense, compared to those cultivators, ruins dragon beasts, or those super treasures left on the land of Sumeru,
Albedo is the supreme creature of Kanria alchemy.
After listening to Wang Daoyi's description of the price, Albedo thought for a moment, and then nodded slightly:
"The country where the teacher is located has denied the gods countless times, but it is still destroyed by the gods, which can be seen that compared to the knowledge of Kanriya alchemy that I have mastered, the unknown information of the gods is indeed more precious, in this case, I agree to your invitation."
After speaking, Albedo stretched out his hand, and a ray of light bloomed in his hand,
"Now, then, I'll show you the mysteries of Kanria's alchemy now!"
"The universe is the essence of the black nature of the real starry sky, and the strata are the memories of time and life. Chalk is the unsullied earth, the material of the primordial man, and the black earth is the etymology of alchemy and the foundation of life. ”
The brilliance in Albedo's hands continued to transform, and the different divisions of existence in Kanria alchemy were easily manifested by Albedo.
Tiny insects are born in the dark soil, and those insects are the first life,
As Albedo continued to control the black soil for derivation, the tiny insect began to evolve.
From the inscrutable insect to the wriggling crawler,
And when the wriggling reptile continued to absorb the nutrients in the black soil under Albedo's control, eventually, a beautiful butterfly appeared in Albedo's hands.
Butterflies flap their wings and fly slowly, just like insects in nature that have been passed down for thousands of years.
It's completely unrecognizable that it has just been created.
Wang Daoyi's eyes were full of surprise,
Compared to his use of Elemental Ascension and Settlement to create elemental creatures,
Albedo's alchemy of refining life out of thin air is indeed a realm that is currently difficult for Wang Daoyi to reach.
"It's amazing!" Uttering words of admiration, Wang Daoyi also stretched out his hand, and his originally black pupils turned into golden eyes under the rendering of gnosis,
He's imitating, imitating Albedo's actions before,
Soon, wisps of alchemy brilliance converged in Wang Daoyi's hands and turned into black soil,
Looking at the soil in his hand, Wang Daoyi confirmed that this was not really the embodiment of the soil, but the embodiment of a certain concept, but this embodiment was like black soil under the perception of sight.
continues to imitate Albedo's movements,
The tiniest insects in the dark soil, these tiny beings have no intelligence, and they rely on the desire of life to find the energy in the dark soil to support them to survive and evolve.
Looking at these insects, Wang Daoyi just showed joy,
The dark soil in his hand suddenly fluctuated,
The tiny insects that had begun to evolve were wiped out in an instant,
The faint flame of life is like being blown by the wind and extinguished in an instant.
"This"
Wang Dao was stunned for a moment.
"Your mood swings just now have affected the internal environment of the black soil, just like a hotbed of life, suddenly experiencing a violent storm, those tiny lives can't bear this, so, you have failed."
Albedo stood aside, looked at the dark soil in Wang Dao's hand, and gave an answer without waiting for Wang Dao to ask.
"Do mood swings also affect the refining of life?"
"Of course, creating life is not a power that mortals can grasp, and maintaining a stable mood when doing homework is the most basic quality."
After speaking, Albedo suddenly showed a strange expression, as if he remembered something,
"Speaking of which, when I first came into contact with the refining of life, it was also because of the joy of the success of the first step, which led to the failure of the subsequent steps, and the sentence just now was taught to me by the teacher at that time."
There was a hint of nostalgia in his tone,
For his teacher, not his mother's mother, 'golden' Reindot, Albedo has a special emotion in his heart, or family affection, or teacher's kindness,
Or admiration,
In short, remembering what happened with the teacher made Albedo a little distracted.
On the side, seeing Albedo talking and suddenly losing his mind, Wang Dao had a trace of strangeness at his eyes, but he didn't expect Albedo to be distracted.
However, Wang Daoyi didn't mean to bother, so he continued to experiment with the [Black Earth Life Alchemy] by himself,
Calm your mind,
Soon, tiny insects were born in the dark soil again, and new life was born again, and soon under the control of Wang Daoyi, it began to evolve.
From the first sprout of life in the dark soil, those tiny insects greedily absorb everything in the black soil,
From insects to reptiles, to cocoons, and finally to butterflies,
This time, Wang Daoyi has been calm and has not had any accidents.
The butterfly engraved with beautiful lines slowly flew up from the hands of the king, and then. Snap fell to the ground.
"Ahh
Perhaps it was Wang Daoyi's voice that woke Albedo,
He looked at the surprise on Wang Dao's face, and then looked at the butterflies on the ground,
Reach out, pinch the butterfly, and observe it.
"It has only the appearance, not the inside, its body structure is completely different from that of a normal butterfly, the trunk is too fat, the wings are a little thin, and why do you engrave these patterns on the wings? I read it, it's not a rune, it's just good-looking, meaningless. ”
Albedo just checked it briefly and pointed out Wang Daoyi's problem,
In a word, it is in vain in form, and it is difficult to have its soul,
Probably because Wang Daoyi has not studied the butterfly in depth, and he does not understand the inner nature of the butterfly.
Therefore, his reproduction of Albedo's action is a successful creation of a butterfly out of thin air.
But because of Wang Daoyi's lack of knowledge of butterflies, this butterfly can only be seen and can't fly.
"Is that so? Although I have read a lot of knowledge about the Akademiya's school of life, it is only a theory after all, and I really don't know much about the inner details of living things. ”
"However, there is another way to make it fly." As soon as Wang Dao thought of his Elemental Creation Circle,
Albedo raised his eyebrows slightly, he was also very interested in what Wang Daoyi said, stretched out his hand, and handed the fluttering butterfly in his hand to Wang Daoyi,
Reaching out to take the butterfly that could not fly, the elemental power in Wang Daoyi's hand surged, and an elemental creation circle was formed in the void, even in the snowy mountains, there were still endless rock elements that responded to Wang Daoyi's call, and they continued to flock to the elemental creation array,
The rock elemental enveloped the flightless butterfly, rising under the action of the magic circle, and the fragile butterfly body collapsed under the influence of the elemental force.
Turning into stars and rising with the elemental force,
Finally, a small crystal butterfly was on top of the Elemental Creation Circle, but,
The butterfly fluttered its wings, and this time, it slowly flew up.
"Oh, through the transformation of matter and elements, the butterfly is temporarily converted into an element, and then through the elements rise, it gathers into a crystal butterfly, which is really a good idea!"
"It's a pity that the transformed butterfly seems to have changed logically, it no longer maintains the original insect habits, but has become a real elemental life logic."
Albedo saw through Wang Daoyi's methods and saw some loopholes, but he also showed an interested look,
The transformation of material life into elemental beings, even if it is only used on a flightless butterfly, cannot conceal the sophistication of this means.
"If you swap the butterfly for something more advanced, can you still transform it?"
Albedo's eyes were filled with curiosity,
The transformation of matter and elements, Albedo will also, and even Wang Daoyi's transformation of matter and elements will be learned from Albedo's knowledge left in the Zephyr Secret Codex.
However, the Elemental Creation Circle is not Albedo's knowledge.
Although he could also make a crystal butterfly in other ways, he really wouldn't be able to create an Elemental Creation Circle.
So Albedo was very interested in this unknown knowledge.
"Haha, you teach me the alchemy of Kanria, then I'll teach you the art of elemental creation."
"At what cost?"
"You know."
