Chapter 119: Black Lines
"Albedo... Is there something else he is hiding from us? Why would this nun be so defensive about him? When Rosalia was gone, Pai Masked spoke to Ying with a worried face.
"Let's ask him again when we see him after this incident, and we'll carry this idiot back first." Finally, there were no other extraneous things, and Ying returned to the camp of the Adventurers' Guild with Anping on her back.
Sucrose was still there to keep the statistics, and the frustrated Timaus had not yet returned, under the pretext of walking and fishing.
However, Sucrose was completely obsessed with data reports and didn't notice Ying, who came back with Anping on his back. It was also the adventurer who had just led the newcomers down from the snowy mountain, and Cyrus, the vice president of the Adventurers' Association, attracted Sucrose's attention with a voice.
"Ah, young adventurer and her good companion, it's a pleasure to see you here, and I hope this bitterly cold mountain range hasn't caused you too much trouble! But it looks like you're already in trouble. "The petite Ying carried the big Anping, and it was hard for Cyrus not to notice.
"It's not a hassle to deal with anything!" Paimon replied.
"Hahaha, that's right! I love your confident speech! Cyrus laughed heartily, and that was his usual style of speaking.
It's obviously old, but he still looks like a hot-blooded young man.
"But it's still too anxious to bring newcomers to Snow Mountain, all the newcomers I led were stopped by the Frost Armor Hill King not far from the entrance, I don't know how the usually quiet guy can be so irritable hahaha... Where are you in trouble? β
"We were attacked by the Fatui in the Valley of the Sleeping Dragon." Ying had already figured out how to deal with these people's statements.
But not far from the entrance is the grumpy frost-armored hilichurl... Ying feels that this newcomer's painful journey seems to have something to do with them, and she can't help the newcomers of the Adventurers' Guild.
"Have you all been to Sleeping Dragon Valley?! These damned Fatui! Newcomers! Do you hear it, cheer up, even if the hilichurl king blocks the way, is robbed to the point of abandoning the stronghold, and makes a fire in the icy snowdrift to cook, don't give up, the trip to the snow mountain will definitely be an unforgettable experience for you! Hahaha! Vice President Cyrus's laughter sounded like the devil's laughter to the ears of newcomers to the Adventurers' Guild.
"At this moment, even if you complain about me and hate me in your heart, you will thank me for this memory in the future, this is the inheritance of adventure!" The voice of Cyrus, who was not intended to be noticeable, now caught the attention of almost everyone in the camp.
It's really terrible. But Cyrus is such a character, even if Ying ignores him, he can continue to talk about himself.
I can only blame that the chain reaction caused by the hilichurl king was not solved at that time... Finally, Cyrus went to rest with the newlyweds who had been sinned, and Sucrose, who Ying was most worried about, came over.
After all, she is Albedo's disciple, and Ying is worried that she can also see that something is wrong with Anping.
"That's... Mr. Anping... You okay? β
"It's okay, it's just a coma, it's not a big deal." Ying was really worried that if the news of Anping's possession of Doolin's vitality spread through the news, he would become a thorn in the side of the people of Mondstadt.
"I have some medicine here to help restore the body, when he wakes up, you can let him drink it." Fortunately, Sucrose didn't have Albedo's eyesight, or she wasn't very interested in anything other than alchemy.
Seeing that Anping was fine, he relieved his heart and asked about another thing he cared about.
"Traveler, I, may I ask?" Sucrose saw Ying nodding and continued.
"Have you met Mr. Albedo? I asked you to investigate what Mr. Albedo was hiding, and it went well? "Albedo is hiding a secret?
Ying remembered what Rosalia had said to her again. Let's not think about these things just yet.
"Well, I did. But secretly, we didn't have time to investigate before we ran into this accident. However, Albedo has been struggling with two subjects lately, one is an out-of-world seed, and the other is a cursed sword, and I wonder if he is hiding your secret is one of them. "Ying is telling you the truth.
"Out-of-the-world seeds? This Albedo teacher told me, and I also discussed with him whether it was to let the seeds grow and grow their own hands... But the cursed sword! It's the first time I've heard of it! What kind of sword is that! As soon as Sucrose talked about alchemy, she spoke with confidence, and her eyes behind her glasses shone brightly.
"If you want to see it, you can come to my tent later... But don't touch itβ" Ying's gaze drifted to Sucrose's ears, which had fluttered from the beginning.
Although it may not feel as good as the horn, it must have a unique taste to the touch...
"Hmmm! I'll come to you when I'm done sorting out the data! Sucrose nodded excitedly, then ran back to get back to work.
Ying also found an open space to set up her and Anping's tent.
"Whew, it's really hard." Yingdu hadn't spoken yet, and Paimon, who was just watching from the side, sighed.
Get used to it, don't complain about her... Ying kept silently reciting in her heart. After stuffing Anping into his sleeping bag and throwing it back into his tent, Ying and Paimon went to eat dinner and went back to their tent to rest.
As a result, Ying waited until the middle of the night and didn't wait for Sucrose to come to her to see the sword. I don't think Sucrose will see through his thoughts... Ying is also worried about the decline in reviews.
Ying woke up the next morning, thinking that Anping should have woken up too. But when he lifted his tent, he saw that the guy was still asleep.
Wouldn't it be like Liyue had been sleeping for days? Ying went into Anping's tent to check his physical condition, he seemed to be sweating all over last night, and his hair hadn't dried up until now... Something is wrong, how can it be that there is so much sweat under the snowy mountains, how can it not be frozen?
Ying hurriedly went and stroked An Ping's forehead. Not surprisingly, it's very hot. And when did he hit a bag on his forehead, he should have been quite gentle when he put him in yesterday.
"Anping? Anping? Can you hear me? Ying called twice, but An Ping just moved his mouth and didn't make any sound.
It seems that he has not lost his will yet. But doesn't such a body temperature burn out the brain? Is it the sequelae of digesting Doolin's vitality?
Need to take him to the doctor? Anping's situation is completely outside the scope of cognition, and Ying doesn't know what to do.
At the same time, Ying noticed that diamond-shaped black lines appeared on Anping's neck, which looked like scales.
Won't this really be a problem?
