Chapter 106: The Heartbeat of the Snow Mountain
"So can you help me find out what Mr. Albedo is hiding? I'm so curious! Please, please! Sucrose clasped her hands together and made a sincere request.
It can be seen that she should be very familiar with Ying and Paimon.
"Hmm, what do you think?" Paimon looked at Ying.
"We're going to Snow Mountain anyway, since it's Sucrose's request..."Ying didn't have any reason to refuse.
With two votes agreed, it was useless for Anping to oppose even if he wanted to.
"Wow - that's great! Thank you. Sucrose was very happy, and her ears were cocked.
"But you haven't met Mr. Albedo, he's a mild-mannered young gentleman, a scholar... And then... Sorry, I don't know how to say it more clearly, but you should be able to recognize him when you see him. Sucrose then began to introduce Albedo's characteristics.
"Wait, I have a question, don't you know that Mr. Albedo or Paimon?" Anping sensed that something was wrong, interrupted Sucrose's speech, and turned to look at Yinghe Flying Cotton Ball and asked.
"Yes, it's not the first time we've heard Sucrose talk about her teacher, but we've never met Mr. Albedo." Paimon took it for granted.
“… So if we steal other people's things like this, won't they really be regarded as thieves?! Anping also thought that Paimon and Ying agreed to Sucrose's request on the premise of knowing Albedo.
"Huh?! That's not true! I'm not asking you to steal Mr. Albedo's things! I just hope you can help me keep an eye on the secret that Albedo is hiding! Sucrose hurriedly shook his head and explained in a panic.
"Ah, sorry, I misunderstood... But Sucrose, as his student, he won't tell you, can we really find out what results if we go? Ignoring Paimon and Ying's disgusted eyes, Anping asked Sucrose again.
"It's definitely no problem, Mr. Albedo's recent research seems to have hit a bottleneck, and when I see him, he always looks sad... You are the legendary ones who fought off Stormterror and the Demon God, and a series of extraordinary experiences will certainly be of particular interest to Mr. Albedo, which will provide him with a lot of inspiration, and many things that he can't tell me and Timaus, he will certainly not hide from you! "Sucrose is sure of it.
"I didn't expect that I would become a legendary character when I was stained with the light of the screen..."An Ping felt that it was a bit exaggerated.
In this way, Anping and Ying, who undertook the commission of Sucrose, embarked on a journey to the snowy mountains. After crossing a broken bridge, you officially entered the realm of Longcrest Snow Mountain.
The already low temperature suddenly dropped again, and even Ying and Anping felt the biting cold.
When stepping on the snowy mountain, An Ping suddenly felt a strange pulse coming from the ground, and a powerful heartbeat sounded in his ears at the same time.
"Huh?" An Ping looked up at the gray and black sky sprinkled with snowflakes, feeling abnormal and confused.
"What's wrong?" Seeing An Ping stop and look around, Ying asked.
"Did you just hear anything?"
"No, did you hear anything?" Ying shook her head and asked.
"The inexplicable sound of a heartbeat... But it soon disappeared. "It can't be an illusion, but Ying didn't hear it... An Ping frowned.
"This is the place where the dragon Durin fell five hundred years ago, the dragon that polluted Dvalin, so it's not surprising that there is anything out of the ordinary... Try to be careful, and let me know as soon as possible if you feel unwell. Just after stepping on the snowy mountain, Anping heard an inexplicable heartbeat, which made Ying also begin to be alert, this snow-capped mountain may be more dangerous than imagined.
An Ping nodded. Then the two continued to climb upward, during which Anping did not hear his heartbeat again, but the land gave him the feeling of a faint vitality that spread.
It was as if there was blood flowing down there.
"By the way, Ying, how did you know Sucrose?" As far as the eye can see, there is a mixture of white snow and pitch-black rocks, except for the mysterious heartbeat at the beginning that made An Ping nervous for a while, the climbing road began to be boring, so he had to find some topics to talk to Ying.
"When venturing outside, you often have to use the alchemy table and some basic alchemy, and occasionally you see Sucrose guarding the alchemy table in Mondstadt, and you will become familiar with it after coming and going."
"I see, I really didn't expect you to know how to do alchemy..."An Ping silently sighed that Ying was worthy of being an elder whose body spanned many worlds.
"Actually, the basic alchemy may be a little simpler than cooking, just add various materials to the alchemy table in proportion, it's not as mysterious as you think, if you want to learn, you can find Timaeus to learn it, but don't go to Sucrose or her teacher Albedo..."
"Why?"
"There's a good chance you won't understand a word of what they're saying..."
“… Understand. "As Sucrose said, up the mountain road, one of the research sites of her teacher, Mr. Albedo, was in a cave on the mountainside, and he should be able to meet him there.
Anping felt that He Ying had been walking for a long time, and he hadn't seen where Sucrose's so-called cave was. But the higher you go, the more likely you are to encounter danger.
Anping didn't know how many times he had been attacked by Ice Slim. It's already very cold, and these guys don't know which piece of snow they are blowing two breaths of cold air, and they just feel like their blood vessels are going to freeze!
The Ice Slim that bred in this icy and snowy land is far more dangerous than the ordinary Slim encountered in the wild.
Later, Anping was already in the wind, and the grass and trees were all soldiers, as long as he saw the ice lump that was suspected of being Slime, he would go up and poke a sword first.
"How does it feel to be on your first adventure?" The tip of Ying's nose was red from the cold, but it made her feel a little closer and cute.
After all, the usual Ying looks a little too distant.
"It's really a workout, I haven't taken these slimes seriously since I was ten years old, I didn't expect to cause me such a big obstacle here." Anping, who had been blown several times by Slim, was about to shake into Paimon.
As for Paimon, he didn't know where he had gone since he went up the mountain.
"The test has just begun, do you see the hilichurls over there?" An Ping looked in the direction of Yingzhi, and suddenly sighed in his heart.
Is that guy covered in hairy calves the size of his whole person and like a hill a hilichurl?
It was the first time Anping had seen the king of the hilichurls.
"Go, forbid the use of elemental power to attack, use the sword in your hand to fight it."
"Ying, you're kidding me... Let's go to Mr. Albedo first, and don't lose time. "This thing isn't an easy opponent to deal with, even with elemental power... An Ping wanted to mix in for a while with a hippie smile, but Ying Ke was not used to it, and directly kicked An Ping in front of the Frost Armor Hill King.
