Rosalia was definitely not joking, she knew very well that the look was exactly like her own.

How could she feel at ease when Xing looked so unguarded?

Although, this should be considered a good thing for her. After all, what she thinks in her heart is not very presentable.

"Okay, okay, don't worry." Xing was very confident in Rosalia.

"However, let's not go to Albedo's place." Paimon couldn't help but say to the two of them.

Rosalia's words just now obviously frightened her. Although she wanted the so-called generous reward, she also didn't want Xing and Ying to become irrational monsters.

"It's okay, let's go and take a look first. Maybe she's just trying to scare us." Ying completely sneered at Rosalia's words.

Although her current strength is only one tenth of what it was, she is still no match for an ordinary adventurer.

Even if there was really something wrong with that Albedo, she could deal with it easily, at least she wouldn't be easily defeated.

"I also think it's probably just to scare us." Xing nodded and said.

Putting aside the issue of strength, as the chief alchemist of the Knights of Favonius, Albedo should not attack the hero who saved Mondstadt for no reason.

If that's the case, how should he explain it to the Knights afterwards?

"Anyway, just go and see for yourself."

After making a decision, they walked along the mountain road towards Albedo's camp.

But where they couldn't see, Rosalia, who should have left early, suddenly appeared behind them. After they walked away, she followed them.

Chapter 4: Will it be fluorescent? [K -in-]

Following the path Rosalia pointed out and continuing up the mountain, they soon found Albedo in front of a cliff.

It looks like he just finished sketching.

As Sucrose said, Albedo is a gentle and scholarly person.

If you look at it from this perspective, there is actually no need for Sucrose to describe Albedo in detail. Albedo is very unique and can be recognized at a glance when standing in a crowd.

"You... are the Honorary Knight and Miss Xing, right?" Albedo turned his head and looked at Xing and Ying. Without much thought, he quickly recognized the two of them.

"It's us." Xing nodded and looked at the other party for a moment.

Albedo is very unique, and this uniqueness does not lie in his temperament or appearance, but in something else.

To Xing, it felt like the other party was some kind of... non-human creature?

"Hello, Mr. Albedo." Paimon waved and greeted him.

"Hello, I seemed to have heard you arguing with Sister Rosalia just now..." Albedo's voice was steady and calm, and no special emotion could be heard.

"Uh, it's just a little misunderstanding." Xing said awkwardly.

"Humph, there is no misunderstanding between us..." Ying said in a low voice with some dissatisfaction.

"Really? I'm glad you're okay." Albedo pretended not to hear Ying's words. He looked at the two of them carefully, and his gaze then stayed on Paimon for a moment.

"What do you want to see me for?"

"Sugar asked us to come here. She said that you had encountered difficulties in your research and might need our help." Paimon took the initiative to speak, and then showed a money-grubbing expression, "She also said that you will give us a generous reward."

"Is that so? Well, if it's you guys, you should be able to give me a lot of help." Albedo touched his chin and thought for a while, then nodded.

He had always been very curious about the traveler who did not have the Eye of God but could use elemental power, but he had never had the chance to meet him.

As for the other one...Albedo was a little unsure.

He couldn't see through this girl at all, and there seemed to be something dangerous inside her body. Albedo instinctively didn't want to get close to her.

"As for the reward..." Paimon looked at Albedo expectantly.

"Of course I won't let your help be in vain." Albedo came back to his senses, nodded to Paimon, and then looked at Xing and Ying.

"Traveler, I have heard about your performance during the dragon disaster, whether it is your extraordinary control over elemental forces or your physique that can purify the curse."

"As for Miss Xing, although there are no special rumors, I can already feel the difference between you and others after meeting you this time."

"I'll just state my conclusion directly - you two must have come from another world, right?"

Although Albedo was asking, his eyes were unusually firm, and it seemed that he was very confident in this conclusion.

Of course, the facts are indeed as he said.

"Your knowledge is indeed well-deserved." Ying nodded, and there was a hint of surprise in her eyes when she looked at Albedo.

The two of them had not taken the initiative to tell anyone else about their journey through the worlds, but Albedo could see through their differences at a glance.

He is worthy of being the chief alchemist of the Knights of Favonius.

"Well, in this case, my research will surely make great progress."

"So, what kind of research is it?" Xing couldn't help but ask.

"Ah, sorry, you must be confused now. Where should I start? No, it's better to let you see something instead of words." Albedo took out a branch from somewhere.

"For example, awakening life and giving dead branches new life."

The dead branch actually began to grow gradually under the power of Albedo, and even sprouted new branches in the snow.

Xing was dumbfounded. The alchemy she had seen before had never reached Albedo's level.

"Alchemy can actually do this kind of thing!" Paimon also looked surprised.

"It's amazing..." Ying was much calmer than the other two.

"However, there is a special seed. The previous method is not so effective." Albedo paused here and took out the special seed. "This seed is the same as you. It comes from another world."

"I want it to take root in this world. If I observe you from another world carefully, I may be able to find the answer."

"I see..." Xing looked at the seeds in Albedo's hand.

"However, perhaps compared to Miss Xing, the Honorary Knight is more valuable for reference." Albedo suddenly changed the subject.

"Huh? Why?"

"Although they are from another world like Miss Xing, the Honor Knight can use the elemental power of this world and does not even need a magical organ like the Eye of God."

Seeds from another world cannot take root and sprout in this world, but the Honor Knights from another world can use elemental power, so it is normal to say that Yingcai has more research value.

"So...it actually has nothing to do with me?" Xing touched his head and asked.

"That's not the case. Perhaps it can be used as a control experiment." Albedo shook his head.

What he didn't tell Xingming was that he actually didn't dare to do any in-depth research on Xing.

The dangerous feeling coming from her body made Albedo feel very uncomfortable, and he didn't even want to get close.

For safety reasons, it is better to put the star aside to prevent anything from going wrong and endangering the safety of Mondstadt.

"It's okay, Xing. We will give you an equal share after we get the reward." Paimon spoke to comfort Xing.

"Um, thank you..." In fact, Xing didn't really care about the reward.

Next, the experiment on fluorescence began.

Albedo first asked Ying some very strange questions, such as whether Ying had a second heart, a fourth stomach, and whether Paimon was connected to Ying's body.

After getting all the negative answers, Albedo nodded and decided to attract some slimes over so that he could observe the flow of elemental power in Ying's body during the battle.

Xing could only watch and became a little bored for a while.

A few ice slimes were naturally no match for Ying, and the battle ended quickly.

"So... do you notice something wrong?" Xing looked at Albedo who was in deep thought and couldn't help but ask.

"Not yet. The elemental force flows smoothly and the elemental reactions are reasonable. Nothing special has been observed." Albedo shook his head.

“If there are no problems with external mobility, then we can only look at the situation with internal mobility.”

"Internal flow? How to do it?" Ying put away his edgeless sword, walked up to the two of them and asked.

Obviously she also heard the conversation between the two just now.

"It's very simple. I can use alchemy to make a potion that extracts elemental power. If the elemental power is stored or accumulated in your body in a physiological way, it will produce an elemental reaction with this potion."

"Uh, will it crystallize in the stomach?" Ying's mouth twitched slightly, and she couldn't help but ask.

"Listen, that sounds terrible..."

"It's okay. If everything is normal, it will only cause brief discomfort and will not cause any harm to the body." Albedo shook his head.

If that situation really happens, he is well prepared to ensure that no danger will occur.

"Okay." Ying nodded. Although she felt a little uneasy after drinking the unknown potion, with Xing here, there shouldn't be any major accidents.

"Well, in that case, please follow me back to my camp. On the way, we need to collect some star silver ore to make a catalyst for the potion."

--------------------------------------------

While walking on the road, Xing used her baseball bat to knock out a lot of minerals, which was one of her few contributions in this experiment.

After all, the entire experiment was aimed at Ying and had nothing to do with her.

"We're here, my camp is right ahead."

Xing looked up and saw a small camp appeared in front of them.

There were several shelves here, the kind that were very common in every shop in Mondstadt, and they were filled with all kinds of bottles and jars that Xing couldn't understand.

I guess if it was accidentally broken, she would have to pay a lot of money.

Albedo first put the starsilver ore into the potion furnace and began to refine the potion mentioned earlier.

"Mr. Albedo, you're back." Timaus ran over and was a little surprised to see Xing and Ying and others beside Albedo.

"This is Timaeus, my assistant, you should already know him."

"Yeah, indeed, we see it often." Xing nodded.

Before, she would always go to sell some materials dropped by monsters, and as for Ying, she would go to the crafting table almost every day, so they were quite familiar with each other.

"Hello, I didn't expect you to come back with Mr. Albedo." Timaus greeted with a smile.

"Timaeus, organize these data. These two are currently cooperating with me in an experiment." Albedo handed several documents to Timaeus.

"Okay, Mr. Albedo." Timaus took the experimental data, glanced at them briefly, then walked to the other side of the question board with a serious face and started his own research.

While they were talking, Albedo's potion had already been refined.

Albedo first took out a bottle and drank it all in one gulp.

"Well... as expected, it's drinkable." Albedo took another bottle of potion and handed it to Ying.

Looking at the bottle of potion, Xing actually thought it might taste quite good.

Unfortunately, that thing is probably of no use to her, and she doesn't know what will happen if she drinks it.

Ying took it. Seeing that Albedo drank it all in one gulp, he must have done it to reassure her, so Ying did not hesitate too much, opened the bottle and drank it.

"..."

"How is it?" Paimon looked at Ying with some concern.

"If you feel uncomfortable, take a deep breath." Albedo couldn't help but remind him.

"Hmm...it seems like, no feeling?" Ying licked her lips, savored it carefully, and then shook her head.

She really didn't feel anything, it was like she had drunk a bottle of water.

"No feeling?" Albedo frowned, a little surprised.

"No, this medicine injects elemental power into the body. Under normal circumstances, it should cause some rejection reaction..."

"Could it be that because Ying's physique is rather special, the medicine has not yet taken effect?" Xing made a guess.

"It is also possible that this potion just has no effect on her... But no matter what, we need to observe it for a while longer." Albedo looked at Ying, then at the sky that was gradually getting darker.

"I would like to ask you two to stay here at least until tomorrow morning to avoid any accidents."

"Well...it's not impossible." Ying touched his chin and then nodded.

They originally came to explore the snowy mountains, or as Ying herself said, to open up maps.

I haven't made a reservation for when to go back, so it's no problem to stay a little longer.
