time flow,

When Xingqiu woke up from sleep,

Surprised to find yourself surrounded by a mess of things,

What hilichurls with missing arms and legs, snow boars with rock armor on their backs, little foxes with wind and snow wrapped around their bodies,

All kinds of strange things surrounded him, but without exception, they were all filled with the aura of elemental power,

Xingqiu was shocked, thinking that a monster had invaded the experimental camp.

With a flip of his right hand, a gorgeous sword appeared in his hand, and the water elemental quickly converged on the sword

was about to kill, but found two people talking about something not far away.

"There is still a problem with the transformation of flesh and blood elements, although the elements make up the current Teyvat continent, but the rejection reaction between ordinary material life and elemental power is still beyond the normal limit."

The blonde-haired young man held a snow fox common in the snow mountains in his hand, but this snow fox exuded the fluctuation of the ice element all over his body, and a burst of cold air broke out from time to time.

With indifference in his eyes, Albedo exerted his strength slightly, and the light of alchemy shrouded the painful snow fox, and the flesh and elements dissipated, turning into the original black earth,

Albedo gave Snow Fox a less painful finish.

And beside Albedo, is the royal road that reveals part of the truth,

With white hair and golden eyes, he also has the light of alchemy in his hands, and in the dark soil, tiny insects are born and die.

Wisps of elemental power were guided by Wang Daoyi to invade the black soil, wanting to influence those tiny insects, giving them elemental power from the moment of the origin of life.

"Oh, can we elementalize from the embryonic beginning, and if we do it from an early age, can the adaptability of living beings allow them to gradually adapt to the elemental forces?"

Looking at Wang Daoyi's movements, Albedo shook his head, he had tried this kind of thing before:

"No, our subject is to transform material life into elemental beings, not to cultivate elemental beings, although the two are very similar, but the uses are completely different."

Looking at the monsters derived from the black soil, Wang Dao's eyes were flat, it was just another failure, looking at the twisted creatures all over the ground, he knew that he had failed many times.

Not affected by the failure, Wang Daoyi thought about it for a while and proposed a new direction:

"Well, that's true, but adult material life is also adaptable, can it artificially create a closed environment so that its elements are out of balance, which can be used to affect the elemental affinity of the test target, and then elementalize?"

"Is that so? It's worth a try. Albedo nodded, stretched out his hand, and the lotus blossom bloomed, forming an independent space,

And Wang Daoyi also snapped his fingers, and the rock elements converged, continuously invading that independent space.

It wasn't until the diffuse rock element had completely squeezed out the other elements out of the lotus space that Wang Daoyi stopped injecting the rock element into it.

Looking around,

After discovering that Xingqiu was coming, Wang Daoyi nodded slightly at him, but he didn't speak, but picked among the twisted creatures all over the ground, found a few snow pigs that had been experimented with rock elementalization before, and threw them into Albedo's lotus space.

Albedo and Wang Daoyi looked at the lotus space, observing whether there would be any changes in the material life struggling in it.

And Xingqiu watched the two of them communicate constantly, all kinds of brilliance bloomed in their hands, and from time to time, strange creatures were thrown into the lotus space by the two.

Obviously, the 'monsters' he saw just now were made by these two people, and they all looked like 'consumables'.

"These two are so 'terrifying'!"

Looking at the scene where the two of them refined into creatures out of thin air and then transformed into elements,

Xingqiu couldn't help but think of some light, medium and big villains,

Those imaginary villains always set up evil test bases in their lair,

And there's always some weird guardian in the lair, oh... The twisted creatures these two made were very similar.

After looking at it for a while, Xingqiu couldn't help but ask, "You guys. What's going on? ”

"We?" Albedo glanced at Xingqiu, with no surprised look, obviously sensing that Xingqiu was coming, "We are studying the topic." ”

"Research. Problem? ”

Xingqiu looked at the twisted creatures all over the ground, and then at the creatures that were struggling in the lotus space, but couldn't escape, no matter how he thought about it, it didn't look like a serious compliance research project.

"[Regarding the feasibility of transforming material life into elemental life], this is the subject of our research, but at present, only the lowest level of small insects can do it, and slightly larger material life, such as mice, rabbits, and foxes, these cannot be completely transformed."

Wang Daoyi opened his mouth to explain.

"To be precise, the transformation of small insects is not perfect, after the transformation, although they have elemental bodies, they do not have the previous logic of action, just like newborn elemental creatures."

Albedo explained.

However, Xingqiu was still at a loss,

Although he is gifted and intelligent, and well-read (scripts)

However, this kind of high-level subject involving the transformation of material flesh and blood elements in multiple ways is completely out of step for Xingqiu.

Not to mention Xingqiu, even the laureate scholar of the Akademiya came over, and he couldn't keep up with the progress of Wang Daoyi and Albedo's experiments.

Normal experimentation requires a lot of trial and error and time to accumulate experience.

And Wang Daoyi and Albedo, there is no need at all, as long as there is a little different fluctuation in the experiment, the two can directly deduce the final result,

Those twisted creatures are the products that two people are halfway through the experiment, find that the experiment has gone wrong, and then stop the experiment.

"I don't understand it at all, but it looks like it." Xingqiu looked at the struggling material life in the lotus flower, and there was a trace of unbearability in his eyes.

Wang Daoyi directly captured the pity in Xingqiu's eyes: "It's cruel? ”

Xingqiu couldn't help but nodded, he was definitely a little cruel,

However, he is not a mother of overflowing love, and even if he is a little unbearable in his heart, he has no intention of saying anything to stop the experiment.

"Ha, these test objects are all alchemical creatures, in a sense, they were born to test." Wang Daoyi didn't say anything high-sounding, just explained the origin of these creatures.

No matter how you explain this kind of thing, people who don't like it just don't like it, people who dislike it will still be disgusted, and people who can't bear it will still be unbearable.

Before Xingqiu could speak, Albedo on the other side suddenly spoke: "There has been a change, and the rock elementals have stopped eroding life and have begun to merge into their flesh and blood. ”

Teyvat's elemental forces are known to be harmful to ordinary life,

Living in an environment with a high concentration of elements, life will be eroded, and eventually life will wither.

And now in the lotus space, there has been a rock element that stops eroding flesh and blood, and instead merges into flesh and blood.

This represents the initial hope.

Wang Daoyi was also attracted by the scene in the lotus space,

Wisps of rock elements slowly merged into the body of a snow pig with rock armor on its back, making this snow pig go from a painful struggle to a comfortable hum.

However, Wang Daoyi can see that with the integration of the rock element, the life of the snow pig is also speeding up.

"No, the erosion is still there, the speed of integration is not as fast as the erosion, and it will be under erosion until the snow pig fully adapts to the rock element."

Before Wang Daoyi's words were finished, the snow pig, which was originally humming and chirping, gradually turned from flesh and blood into rocks.

Not the rock of elemental life, but the dead rock statue.

The snow boar, under the erosion of the rich rock element, was lithified from material life into a statue.

However, Albedo, who saw this scene, was not disappointed, but a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes,

"The speed of integration is slower than the rate of erosion, then, as long as you find a way to speed up integration, or slow down erosion, you may be able to get a material life that is completely adapted to the elements, and at that time, you can carry out the perfect transformation of material life and elemental life."

"It's not that simple, different species have completely different resistance to different elements, which is a very big issue." Wang Daoyi shook his head, wanting to perfect the transformation of flesh and soul and elemental was still an unattainable goal.

"At least there's hope, isn't it?" Albedo didn't care, his lifespan, his time, his energy were enough for him to perfect the subject.

"Ha, yes, but we can stop for a moment today." Wang Daoyi agrees that they always have enough time for this kind of subject.

"Okay, that's all for today's research, do you guys have anything to do?"

Albedo nodded, looked at the rock statue in the lotus blossom space, waved his hand, the lotus blossom dispersed, and the originally rich rock element lost its restraint and immediately collapsed towards the surroundings.

"I don't have anything else to do, communicating with you is my goal, and now it's been achieved." Wang Daoyi shook his head, he was able to communicate with Albedo about Kanria's [Black Earth Alchemy], and the purpose of his trip to Mondstadt this time had been fulfilled.

"I, I'm going to have to go to Mondstadt to check out the silk business of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, and I'll be fine after reading it."

Xingqiu was stunned for a moment, and then spoke,

I was so stunned by the magical methods of these two people just now that I almost forgot that I still had something to do.

"Alright, then I'll send you to Mondstadt, and then I'll send you back to Liyue after seeing what the business is all about."

Wang Daoyi stretched, then waved his hand, and a dark blue leyline channel appeared, and then looked at Albedo, "Do you want to go back together?" ”

Looking at the leyline passage, with a little thought in his eyes, Albedo raised his head and shook his head: "No, he is still in Mondstadt, I will go back now, if someone is seen, there may be an accident, and besides, I have made an appointment with him, if there is no accident, it will be changed every 5 days." ”

If Albedo is still in Mondstadt, if Albedo goes back at this time and is seen with two Albedo, maybe there will be some rumors.

Don't underestimate the gossip ability of the people of Mondstadt, this country of freedom, the country of fine wine, this kind of surprise is the most delicious.

"Okay, let's go first, goodbye."

"Goodbye, Mr. Chalk!"

The two waved at Albedo, said goodbye, and then slipped into the blue leyline passage, disappearing into the snowy mountains.

Seeing the two leave, Albedo turned back to the experimental camp, looked at the twisted creatures all over the ground, and began to continue his previous experiment.

Outside Mondstadt, at the exit of the Whispering Forest,

A dark blue leyline passage appeared, and Wang Daoyi walked out of it with Xingqiu.

"Woo~ This thing, can't it be improved, is it more comfortable?" Feeling the churning sensation in his abdomen, squatting on the ground, Xingqiu complained with a pale face.

"Heh, maybe your body is too weak, if Chongyun comes, there will definitely not be such a big reaction."

For Xingqiu, Wang Daoyi sarcastically said unconcernedly.

gave Wang Daoyi a roll of his eyes, Xingqiu didn't continue to complain, and after calming down the churning in his abdomen, he stood up and looked at the city wall in the distance.

"Let's go, go to the deer hunters, and I'll invite you to dinner."

"That's a good feeling!"

The two chatted casually as they headed towards Mondstadt.

When I came to Mondstadt, it was just the middle of the day.

When I came to the Deer Hunter Restaurant, there were many people eating, but it was not as crowded as Wanmintang.

Wang Dao looked at the people in line, his eyes lit up, and he saw a blue figure, and immediately walked towards her.

Xingqiu was stunned: "Daoyi, you have to line up!" ”

He also thought that Wang Daoyi wanted to cut in line.

"Hey, there are acquaintances, there is no need to queue up, come and pay." Wang Dao waved his hand without looking back, and then walked all the way to the blue girl and shouted, "Astologis Mona Megistus!" ”

Xingqiu, who walked to Wang Daoyi's side, was stunned, what was that big section just now?

Then I saw the girl wearing a big hat in front of me turn her head and look at Wang Daoyi: "Hey, just now, were you calling me?" ”

Mona, who received the manuscript fee, was originally thinking about having a full meal, but suddenly heard a shout, and it was still her real name, and when she turned her head, she found that it was two teenagers she didn't know.

"That's right, Mona, the great astrologer, I'm calling you." Wang Daoyi smiled and nodded, I didn't expect it, I originally wanted to find this girl to learn about the [Witch Club], but I met it this time.

I have to say, it's fate.

"Are you looking for me, is there anything wrong?" Mona looked at the two teenagers, there was a starry sky flickering under her eyes, and then she seemed to see something dazzling, and a wisp of tears couldn't help but slip from the corner of her eyes, "Hey, you are."

"Haha, I'm Wang Daoyi, he's Xingqiu, I'm looking for you for something, but let's order first, today. A treat in the autumn season! ”

Wang Daoyi hurriedly stopped Mona's words, who knows what she saw, and then continued, "Don't worry, it's not about astrology, you can accept it with confidence." ”

In order to ensure the purity of astrology, Mona will not accept it if you give her a favor just to ask her for astrology.

Hearing Wang Daoyi's words, Mona reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, calming the tingling sensation in her eyes,

Then he nodded and looked at Wang Daoyi: "Okay!" ”

Wang Daoyi smiled: "Then let's go over there and sit down first, Xingqiu, you can order food, it must be enough for three people to eat." ”

Leaving a word for Xingqiu, Wang Daoyi pulled Mona to the side of the table.

After sitting down, Mona slowly spoke: "This... Your Highness, I don't know what you are looking for me? ”

Mona pondered for a while before choosing to use the word His Royal Highness to address Wang Daoyi.

Obviously, she did see something just now, although she couldn't see it really, but her guess was pretty much the same.

"Your Highness. This title is somewhat interesting. Wang Daoyi accepted this title with a smile, did not refute, and looked at Mona, the great astrologer Mona, who seemed a little nervous, "Don't be nervous, I'm looking for you, I just want to know about the [Witch Society]." ”

Don't be nervous?

Mona rolled her eyes inwardly,

It's the same as when you buy food on the side of the road, and suddenly someone calls your name, and then you see, WCO, it's the big leader of the country,

In this case, can you not be nervous?

If you are not scared to cry, you have a strong quality in your heart.

"The Witch Society? That's the old woman. My master is in the association, and I am not familiar with it. Calming the waves in her heart, Mona shook her head and said.

"Huh?" Wang Daoyi showed a hint of disappointment, "Don't you know at all?" The members of the Witch Society, the idea, the purpose, etc.? ”

Mona still shook her head: "I'm just a disciple of the old woman, the old woman is not dead, and I haven't inherited her title, so, for the Witch Society, I just know that there is such an association, as for what they do and what abilities they have, I don't know at all." ”

After speaking, Mona's eyes lit up, as if she remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Speaking of which, in the Knights, there is also a descendant of a witch!" ”

Wang Dao looked strange and raised his eyebrows: "You mean Klee?" ”

"Yes, while Klee certainly doesn't know anything, her brother, the alchemist Albedo, might know." Mona nodded, her meeting with Klee was a bit oolong, but now she was also a good person in Klee's mouth.

Wang Daoyi was silent for a while before he spoke: "Before meeting you, I had just separated from Albedo, and he didn't know much. ”

"Ah~" Mona didn't expect it to be like this.

Just as the two were communicating, Xingqiu came over with a large plate of food.

"It's too busy, Miss Sarah asked me to bring it myself."

Putting the food on the table, Xingqiu explained, and then looked at Mona: "Although it is the first time we have met, but, since Daoyi knows you, then we are friends, please feel free, I have a treat today, if it is not enough, you can add it." ”

Xingqiu's atmospheric words attracted Mona's attention: "Really? ”

"Of course!" Xingqiu nodded affirmatively, he is the second young master of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, can't he afford a meal?

An hour later

Looking at the stacked plates,

Xingqiu's eyes were full of shock,

This girl, that flat belly doesn't even have any ups and downs,

How did she eat so much food!

In Xingqiu's shocked eyes,

Mona raised her hand: "Miss Sarah, another sweet flower stuffed chicken!" ”
