Chapter 450: A Promise to the Future
"Well, from this perspective, he doesn't sound like a simple person. Maybe his words are meant to disrupt our judgment or make us suspicious of each other."
Albedo agreed with Gu Sanqiu's judgment: "However, I still think he really knows you, otherwise there is no need to make that expression in front of two strangers."
"It would be a miracle if he knew me."
At Dai Yin's age, if the other party directly said that he knew Gu Shaochong, he might actually believe it.
Gu Sanqiu grinned. The Sword of the Last Light, the boss of the palace guard, Dainsleb, also known as Little Paimon, was the travel companion of the Golden-haired Princess of the Abyss when she traveled through the Seven Kingdoms.
But at the end of the journey, the two had conflicts over some things and finally chose completely different paths to fight.
However, the parting of ways between these two was quite hardcore. Dain seemed to be trying to achieve good results by causing trouble for the Abyss Cult all day and all night.
If the princess is the big star, then Dain is the sick stalker who is causing headaches for the security brigade called the Abyss Cult, and this stalker wants to chop down the security brigade as well.
If there was a fantasy-style "cult kill list" within the Abyss Cult, Dain would definitely be on the list, and even at the top.
After all, it is definitely unlikely to be the first. Judging from the style of the people below, the first place can only be the leader of Tianli.
"Let's go. I stayed here this time because I wanted to see him. Although I didn't get a clear answer, I still have some clues."
Albedo said: "This kind of guy hiding in the gray area, whose identity and whereabouts are unclear, is really disturbing."
"With your strength, do you still feel uneasy?"
Gu Sanqiu yawned and said, "Do you need me to take you back? At my speed, if we run away now, we can still go to the Knights' Order and have breakfast tomorrow."
"No, I want you to go somewhere else with me."
Albedo walked towards the heart cave: "It's in there, I have something to tell you."
"Tsk, what can't be said outside? You didn't set up hundreds or thousands of alchemy arrays in here to kill me, did you?"
Gu Sanqiu said some fancy words, but still followed Albedo into the heart cave.
"You are also an expert in formations. If I set up so many alchemy formations in such a small place, you will definitely be able to see it."
Albedo found a random rock to sit on and said, "Relax, I just want to chat with you."
Gu Sanqiu complained: "You asked me to relax and chat for a while, and you had to change the place. It's like a doctor reassuring you that it won't hurt before treating you."
"The original perfection of flaws. Do you know why the people of the Abyss Cult call me that?"
Albedo pointed at himself and said, "This is the flaw. It proves that I am just a creation of my master, Reindort, and not a real human being."
"Okay, that's enough."
Gu Sanqiu reached out to stop Albedo from suddenly getting to the point.
"I remember the name Rhinedot. Let me guess why you told me this. You think you are not a real human being, so you are still confused, right?"
"Yes, the right identity, the right knowledge, the right relationships, these are what I think are necessary to become a human being. From this point of view, deep down in my heart, I actually don't consider myself a human being."
Gu Sanqiu rolled his eyes and said, "Don't be so mean. Your way of dealing with things in a proper way is something that many politicians cannot master even if they want to."
"politician?"
"Oh, to explain it roughly, it is a group of people who use existing policies and regulations as a basis and use means and relationships to seek benefits for themselves and the forces behind them."
Gu Sanqiu spread his hands: "However, since we have already used the word politician, we can't simply describe the other party as good or bad. After all, everyone is for their own interests and to make a living."
"But if this is the case, disorderly and faithless political struggles will lead to destruction, just like the top leaders of the Knights Templar back then."
"I don't care if it will be destroyed or not. Before it is destroyed, maybe I will watch the world change. If there are people around me, I will joke with them. If not, I will think about their smiles and then raise my middle finger to the end that is invading me."
Gu Sanqiu shrugged: "It doesn't matter whether you are human or not. What matters is that someone thinks you are."
"One of my ancestors who worked as a seven-star secretary at Yuehai Pavilion was a Qilin incarnation, but he still thrived in Liyue Harbor with the body of a fairy beast. However, relying on the fairy beast's physique to drive internal circulation in the direction of sudden death of employees is not advisable."
"You are the alchemy master and the captain of the investigation team. Although you are a little boring, everyone will definitely praise you when they mention you after you go out."
The major events in the plot are life, but major events are not all of life. There are not so many world-destroying things in a person’s life.
It's just that those things have left a deep enough impression in your heart that you remember them still fresh.
Unlike Albedo and Timaeus Sucrose who are pure apprentices, he is also a person holding a public office. Many improvements in Mondstadt are made by him, or he provides technical support.
Even if some people think that the identity and character of this Son of Cretaceous, who is gradually deepening his ties with Mondstadt, are somewhat out of reach, they will still remember his efforts.
The people of Mondstadt will not disappoint anyone who has good intentions towards the Kingdom of a Thousand Winds.
Oh, except for a few Mond people.
Albedo thought carefully: "Maybe you didn't understand what I meant, but it doesn't matter. If it were you, I could explain it clearly."
"All things in the world will eventually return to the elemental cycle and the earth veins in the process of wear and tear. This is one of the ultimate laws of the world."
"But for mortals who live their lives in just a few decades, the existence of wear and tear is of little significance to them, because that thing coincides with birth, aging, illness and death."
Albedo continued expressionlessly: "My birth was aimed at original perfection, but unfortunately, my perfection is ultimately flawed."
"That is, when I am worn down, I may become more powerful and unstoppable."
"And you seem to have forgotten that I was artificially created, which means that if my mother, or creator, needs to, I will absolutely obey his will."
"Sanqiu, from now on, just treat it as something I ask of you, my dear friend."
Albedo became serious: "If one day I lose control due to wear and tear or if I am forced to do something I cannot accept due to a command, I will leave everything to you."
"Stop me, or even kill me."
"Even if I die, I will die as Mond Albedo. For my future, please wait at the crossroads of choice."
"If Ms. Alice hasn't come back by then, I'll leave Kelly in your care."
"When Keli grows up, tell her that her brother can no longer accompany her on the rest of the journey. If she cries and gets into trouble, you will have to help her solve the problem."
"However, if the battle between you and me ends in some unknown corner, please help Klee plant a Cecilia flower at Cape Lookout before you take her away from Mondstadt."
"Tell Klee that her brother Albedo is just on a long journey. I will come back when Thousand Winds sets out from Cape Lookout and circles Teyvat once and returns. When the Cecilia flowers bloom, I will return."
“When the time comes, I will personally use the Cecilia flowers she planted to make a wreath for my most lovely sister, and decorate her future with a sea of flowers.”
