Chapter 179: A New Subject for Sucrose
After preparing lunch for Fischl, who was unwell, Li Qiuzhi went out and walked through the streets and alleys where people came and went.
The brick-paved pavement had cracked a few times under the long pressure of the wagons loaded with large quantities of goods.
The building next to it was slightly damaged by the wind some time ago, and there is still a construction team repairing it.
Mondstadt is a big city, and suddenly there are so many houses to be repaired, and the construction staff is limited.
If you want to restore the whole city as before, it will take a month or two.
After a long time, Li Qiuzhi came to the fountain square.
Just as I was about to turn right and walk down to the Adventurers' Guild, I happened to see a few people around the alchemy platform, which seemed to be a little lively.
Albedo, the chief alchemist with pale blonde hair, appears to be painting.
Sucrose, the bespectacled Sucrose, Timaius, and the cavalry captain of the Knights of Favonius, Kaeya, were watching.
With the keen intuition of an adventurer, Li Qiuzhi smelled that something was happening, and maybe there would be something that needed the help of his honorary knight.
After all, they are all commissioned tasks, and Mora can earn anywhere.
With this thought, Li Qiuzhi walked towards the alchemy platform.
"Good morning, everyone!"
Li Qiuzhi greeted with a smile like a spring breeze.
Hearing his voice, everyone else looked at it except Albedo, who was distracted.
found that it was Li Qiuzhi, who had not been seen for a long time, and Sucrose was a little surprised, because Timaus worked in the alchemy table, but occasionally met him and chatted a few words.
For example, about the progress of his project of "extracting raspberry pigment to make non-fading dye".
"Oh? Isn't this a knight of honor, has you been in the thick of anything good lately? ”
Cavalry Captain Kaeya quipped with a smile on his swarthy face.
"Well, it was yesterday when I was on an adventure that I was lucky enough to get a two-handed sword prototype......"
Li Qiuzhi told him about entrusting the blacksmith shop to build weapons.
"I see."
Kaeya nodded in surprise, there wasn't much stock of weapons in the Order.
When she applied for a two-handed sword embryo for the apprentice knight Noelle and asked the craftsmen to build the Zephyr sword, it took a long time for the surplus to come out for her to use.
At this moment, Albedo suddenly stopped what he was doing, looked at the picture on the canvas, and showed a hint of thought.
"What's the matter, Albedo-sensei, is it possible that the dye I researched is not good?"
Timaus asked, a little confused.
His indelible dye had been developed, and the dye Albedo was developed by him.
Unfortunately, raspberries are yellow, and the dyes they have developed are only yellow, so if you want to use them in your paintings, you need to use them as a base material to remix other colors.
This is naturally not difficult for Albedo, a professional painter.
"It can be improved.
"However, it wasn't this that struck me strangely, but I found that the beast hound I had drawn seemed to be nothing more than a form.
"Even if you create it, you can't study anything, but it's because you don't know enough."
Albedo lowered his gaze and fell into deep thought again.
As a master of "creation and alchemy", it is difficult to create things that do not exist in the world without "reproducing" things that already exist.
After all, the former can be understood according to one's own understanding, while the latter needs to know enough about what already exists.
“……”
With such a high-end question, Timaius could only touch his head and couldn't interject at all.
"Painting the Beast Realm Hound? Are you guys researching something? Li Qiuzhi asked curiously about the girl with emerald hair.
"Ah, yes, Mr. Albedo wanted to study a way to deal with the corrosive power of those monsters, so he wanted to see if he could draw one alive."
Sucrose, who had round half-rimmed glasses on her fair nose, replied in a still shy tone.
Is this the case, worthy of you Albedo teacher, if you don't have research materials, you can create one yourself.
Li Qiuzhi was stunned and thought, and then felt a little strange: "Since you want a living beast realm monster, why don't you go to the wolf and catch one?" ”
With Albedo's strength, wouldn't it be easy to catch those monsters?
"This has already been tried, the general physical restraints have no effect on them who can travel in space, and the special potion will also be eroded and decomposed by the demon blood in their bodies, so there is no other way to make this decision for the time being."
Albedo replied with a shake of his head.
"So, isn't there a lack of Mora now, if you can help Albedo catch a beast realm monster, presumably the chief alchemist will not be stingy with Mora."
Kaeya said with a smile as she spread her hands.
"Kaeya, don't be kidding, how can I do something that is difficult for Mr. Albedo."
Li Qiuzhi glanced at him helplessly.
If his spiritual power was a little stronger, he might be able to stun them with his invisible spiritual tentacles, but with the strength of breaking the soup spoon now, it wouldn't have much impact on the consciousness of those monsters.
In addition to interfering with real objects, his invisible spirit tentacles can also attack the enemy's mental consciousness.
"No, the guerrilla leader had already sent the corpses of a few monsters yesterday, though they disappeared so quickly that I couldn't study the erosion.
"But I'm already a little bit of an eyebrow about the way they attack and cause the wound to be incurable."
Albedo said, holding his arms.
Ever since he saw these monsters, he felt that they were dangerous, and it was imperative to develop a way to deal with the forces of "erosion".
If they pop up one day, it will be a disaster for humanity.
"Well, in addition to Mr. Albedo, I have also opened a new topic related to 'biological alchemy' for myself.
"It's about developing something like a smearable healing ointment that heals wounds quickly.
"This way, when someone is bleeding non-stop, the bleeding can be stopped quickly."
Sucrose moved her fluffy emerald ears and said with a smile on her fair face.
"Oh, I see."
Li Qiuzhi nodded thoughtfully, it seemed that the Knights of Favonius were already very aware of the danger of the "Bloody Dog".
"But you're so clear that you need help with something?"
Li Qiuzhi looked at the somewhat shy girl and said with a smile.
"Hehe, as you can see, if you want to develop and make that kind of ointment, you need a fungus called 'Cranberry Mushroom', which can only be found in the forest.
"It just so happens that you are here, can you please come with me. Well, it's just around the Whispering Forest, don't worry, I'll get paid. ”
Sucrose touched her ears a little embarrassedly, and her fair face showed a shy redness.
