Chapter 412: Waiting and Arrival
Albedo folded his arms and said, "Moreover, this judgment is based on the premise that there are other places that can give you special perceptions. If it is just a two-way connection between here and the statue, to be honest, it doesn't make much sense."
When Gu Sanqiu was transmitting elemental power to the air just now, Albedo had also observed it, and then he had the same idea as Gu Sanqiu.
The traveler seemed very weak.
The total amount of elemental power infused was not particularly exaggerated, and was at a level that both he and Gu Sanqiu could easily accomplish. However, this foreign traveler was unable to reach this level and was lacking in strength.
But the question is why an unknown creature would contact such a traveler.
Albedo held his chin with his hand. This question was indeed very attractive. Judging from the style of the summoned creature, it was definitely not a modern product and had been around for quite some time.
But why is it that this statue that can help people teleport cannot sense any Mond people, but instead reacts to a foreigner whose background and origin are unknown?
Or is it that this traveler has some secret, or is he not a so-called foreign traveler at all?
Albedo looked at Gu Sanqiu. This guy seemed to know something.
From the conversation at the table, we learned that the traveler had just arrived in Mondstadt not long ago, and then met Amber and his friends in the wild, with a bard with his hat tilted next to them.
The description of the last existence almost made Albedo feel suffocated. Wasn't that the God of Wind who appeared when he and Gu Sanqiu were fighting last time and almost couldn't control his strength?
Moreover, judging from some interesting views of Diluk as told by Captain Kaeya, the appearance of this blond traveler is also very consistent with the so-called "Gu Sanqiu Law".
Master Diluk once said in a private gathering that although he didn't know the reason, strange things would happen every time Gu Sanqiu came to Mondstadt.
This time it's even more outrageous, with a weird lineup of Gu Sanqiu and the God of Wind.
If Albedo knew that the Ice and Fire Brothers had been called by Gu Sanqiu to investigate the snow mountain, he would probably be more determined in his thoughts.
No wonder Albedo didn't know about Kaeya's movements. That guy was a mystic. Even Captain Jean probably didn't know what the other party was arranging before some things were completed, not to mention Albedo, a pseudo-social phobia.
It is even more impossible for Diluk. As an "ordinary" Mondstadt man, unless Albedo knew about what happened back then through some channel, he would not pay much attention to Master Lu.
Let's get back to the present. A Liyue person and the Ruler of Wind, two people who have nothing to do with the foreign visitors, and both of them have very special identities. They established contact with Golden Hair at the first time.
If this was no problem, Albedo felt that he would push the head of the person who was speaking into the lake of fruit wine to sober him up.
After informing the young couple of some precautions, Gu Sanqiu yawned and prepared to go to bed. He had to say that the facilities of the Goethe Hotel were really good. At least there was no strange feeling when sleeping on the bed.
When they first came to Mondstadt, the Fatui handed over some empty rooms to the Liyue delegation purely for the sake of face.
But things were different after that. It seemed that those guys learned from some kind of internal intelligence network that he had obtained the evil eye, and it was a genuine "Sublime Eye". After that, the way they looked at him suddenly changed.
Once he even heard someone talking about the Doctor's "great achievements", saying that he was worthy of being one of the executives for being able to develop such an important person into a friend of Winter.
These words made Gu Sanqiu himself a little confused. Wasn't it me who took the initiative to ask Yaya to deliver a letter to me? How did I become the subordinate of the doctor ?
But it's okay. When you stay in a hotel, there will be Fatui who will come to ask if you need meals and replace hotel supplies. It can be considered as enjoying the life of a master.
"Wait a moment."
Albedo placed his right hand on Gu Sanqiu's shoulder: "How about we find a place to have another ? I have something to ask you."
Gu Sanqiu turned around, but still couldn't detect anything from Albedo's expressionless face.
"Although I don't understand what you want to ask, I always have a vague intuition that what you want to ask is not a good thing."
Albedo let go and slowed down his pace: "Let's go, it will do you no harm."
Outside the city , in a temporary base used for Albedo's research, the two men placed the wine and food on the table, and then sat in silence facing the table of snacks, as if they were observing a moment of silence.
Gu Sanqiu suddenly spoke up: "That traveler is a big problem. Do you want to talk to me about this topic?"
"That's right."
Albedo nodded: "Alchemy may seem magical to those who don't understand it, and it has many wonderful changes, but in the eyes of experts, it still has its own laws."
"But what happened just now does not follow any rules in a broad or narrow sense. It is even a point of view that only exists in unofficial history and miscellaneous records."
Gu Sanqiu smiled and then shook his head.
"That's not right. How come there isn't any pattern? Or something that clearly gives the answer?"
Albedo picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "I'd like to hear more about it."
Gu Sanqiu extended his right index finger: "Wait and come."
Albedo thought for a moment: "Well, it's an acceptable argument, but relying solely on that wonderful statue cannot serve as a reasonable support. Do you have other information?"
"Or do you really know something?"
Gu Sanqiu smiled and said, "A few days ago, there was an elemental fluctuation in Mondstadt that was quite large in scale but ended in failure."
"He is the source? Or one of the sources?"
If this was true, Albedo admitted that he would like to cut the golden retriever open for more research.
"That's right. When you heard Wendy and I run into a golden retriever while we were having dinner, you must have suspected something."
Albedo put down his glass and said, "That's right. If you were the only one acting alone, I would pay some attention to this matter, but I wouldn't care too much."
"But if it's you and the God of Wind, the nature of this matter is different, and it's very likely that he dragged you along. Am I right?"
"You guessed it right."
Gu Sanqiu shrugged. "Also, don't ask me the reason or purpose. To be honest, I am completely confused myself. I originally thought that I would not be able to come to Mondstadt this time."
"Oh? Why?"
"Haha, the chess game of the gods is not something that a social idler like me can easily participate in. Before leaving the border, I always thought that the adults at home would take me back directly."
"The chess game of the gods... a very heavy topic, or rather, a heavy one."
Albedo looked at Gu Sanqiu: "So, what is your choice?"
"My choice? It's as if everything will go according to my wishes after I make my choice."
Gu Sanqiu spread his hands in a disgraceful manner: "It's like ordinary people with no status discussing a country's policies. Do you think anyone really cares about their ideas? They don't even have the qualifications to be vigilant."
Gu Sanqiu pointed at himself, then at Albedo.
"It's obvious that although we are powerful in front of ordinary people, we are still ordinary people with no status in front of the top ones."
