People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 428 Barbara, Full of Guilt, Returns to Xumi
".Are you feeling better?"

"I'm sorry, this is indeed my oversight."

"It's been so long that I almost forgot that the perspective of the law can bring pressure to the soul."

In the orderly alchemy workshop filled with various experimental equipment, the green light in Lin Feng's hand was very conspicuous.
He tried his best to repair Albedo's spirit that was damaged in the process of looking directly at the law.

While Lin Feng expressed his apologies, he was also thankful that Albedo's consciousness was much more stable than that of ordinary people:
——My perspective is too high. When performing many operations, I am used to starting directly from the rules.

Beyond ordinary "vision", he can see much more than the average person.

When I was sharing my experience just now, I subconsciously shared what I saw from my first-person perspective.

Once, Mona only glimpsed part of the law in a state of high inspiration and almost began to "gradually understand everything".
Even though he protected him in time, the fact that Albedo could withstand the massive amount of information pouring in at that moment was far beyond his expectations.

After a while, at the long table for rest,
After the immediate adjustments, the light blonde chief alchemist of Mond slowly returned to normal.

Lin Feng handed him an alchemy potion to calm his mind. Thinking of Albedo's evaluation of his alchemy level just now, he spoke thoughtfully:
“So this level is already good enough?”

".The more I study life reshaping, the more I realize that there are many situations where I have not prepared for them. I thought I was far from mastering alchemy."

I found that my level of character creation might be much higher than expected.
Although it was a little unexpected, Lin Feng, who had been staying up late to make up for his lessons recently, suddenly felt that his efforts were not in vain:

——Ever since he promised Nashida that he would bring the previous Buyer back to accompany her, his workload during this period has seriously exceeded the limit. In order to avoid accidents, he has been frantically deducing various small-probability possibilities.

Although I was a little too prepared, I had noticed this when I resurrected Andrius.

But now, after being reminded by Albedo, the supreme masterpiece of "Golden Rhinedort", he finally put his mind at ease.

“No matter how hard an ant tries to climb, it will never be able to see the entire tree like a bird.”

"The world you see is completely different from that of ordinary people. Learning technology is like going back to the roots. You have an extremely high starting point from the beginning."

"After this "repair", it will not be difficult for you to create a new life based on the broken soul."

I paused for a moment. I had never thought that the world and knowledge could be presented in such a straightforward way.
Albedo recalled the moment just now, when countless pieces of knowledge seemed to rush into his mind, and suddenly he understood why his master had made that choice.

"."

"Huh, well, it's about time."

"It's useless to keep preparing. Regardless of whether I succeed at once or not, at least I'm sure I won't make the situation worse."

After chatting for a while, we reviewed the process of resurrecting Andrius several times.

Now that he had some ideas on how to deal with the Tree King, Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his hard days were finally over.

Seeing that the purpose of coming to the Knights this time had been almost achieved, Lin Feng nodded to Albedo and stood up from the table.

Seeing that it was almost noon outside,
After calculating the day when the Wind Flower Festival would begin, he decided to rest for a day and then go to Xumi to discuss with Nashida how to find materials on the World Tree.

"."

Say goodbye politely and leave.

But when he was about to reach the door, Lin Feng suddenly paused and remembered something Albedo had mentioned before:
"I remember you mentioned before that you hoped to get some alchemical materials from me, and you also emphasized that this matter was very important to you.

Now that you suddenly stop mentioning it, have you given up?"

"."

"Yes, Your Excellency is right. I have given up that plan."

After a slight silence, Albedo shook his head helplessly as he thought of a fact he had just found out.

"I remember that you asked for the materials before in order to interfere with Durin on the snowy mountain. Then why did you give up?"

When he first came to Mondstadt, Albedo spent most of his time in the snowy mountains and never came back.

After spending some time together, Lin Feng knew best his obsession with the dragon.

Now, I was a little surprised to hear that he had given up the plan that was about to be used on Du Lin.

".It hasn't been long since then. Your Excellency must still remember what I wanted at that time, right?"

"Remember, my "one drop of blood."

Lin Feng nodded. He would naturally not forget such a thing.

".My expectations were seriously wrong. I never imagined that I would have the opportunity to come into contact with an existence of your level."

With a long sigh, Albedo also shook his head:
"——Although I still haven't figured out how to deal with Durin, the so-called plan is just a rough assumption."

"But originally I thought that 'God's Vitality-Rich Blood' was a material on the same level as 'Humic Power', so I planned to keep it for future use."

"The only thing I can be thankful for is that I understood your true life level before all this started, so I didn't cause an irreparable disaster."

After a brief pause, thinking about the previous experience that he didn't even know how to describe, Albedo, who was a little scared, continued to speak:
"——If Your Excellency really gave me a drop of blood, and this drop of blood was regarded as the neutralization of the life force equivalent to the humus force,

When I, who was unaware of this, used it as a material for equivalent exchange in the future, I had no idea what the final product of the ritual would be."

If the strength of vitality is equal to that of humus, then it is possible that the Master's creation will fade away from madness and return to normal.

The strength of vitality is far greater than humus, so it will go from one extreme to another.
Immortal monsters, infinitely increasing deformed embryos, or mobile disasters that indiscriminately distort all life forms around them
There are predictable miracles and unpredictable disasters. Alchemy has never been a technology without risks.
If Durin got hold of such a drop of blood, based on Durin's ability, even if he only roughly imitated the master's appearance, Mond would probably pay an unimaginable price for it.

".Is that so? Okay."

"It will take some time for Dulin to recover now. You still have plenty of time to think about how to deal with it."

I nodded, thinking that the reason why Albedo gave up was understandable.
Now the principle of "equivalent exchange" in alchemy is very clear.

Even if we ignore the doubts about ourselves, just looking at this "human body" that has compressed three ancient dragon powers, a lot of authority, and the power of the abyss,
Lin Feng didn't think that using his own blood as alchemical material was something that most people could handle the risks of.
Given human beings' ability to commit suicide, if something evil is mixed in, if one is not careful, one could end up destroying one's own country.

"However, speaking of the alchemical material with the highest risk," he closed the door, paused, and looked from afar at a treasure-stealing weasel that was no longer with him.

Lin Feng shook his head slightly, and suddenly felt that the self-destructive ability of something like biological alchemy seemed to be really among the best.

Southeast corner of Mondstadt, on the second floor of the residential area of ​​the Ordinance House.

It was unclear where the owner had gone, but a prayer priest with a snack basket in both hands had been waiting here for a long time.

Putting the snack aside, she twirled her light blonde hair at the end of her ponytail with her hands, feeling a bit bored.
Barbara looked down at her priest's robe, which seemed to have become a little tighter, and suddenly wondered if she had accidentally eaten too many desserts recently.
——Since she got the alchemical item that can reduce her presence, she, who had been afraid to leave the church before, can finally go out shopping like a normal person.
In addition, she had promised to find the most delicious dessert in Mondstadt, and she had tasted countless desserts with this as an excuse, but she always felt a strong sense of guilt in her heart.
"Well, there's nothing I can do. Since I've promised to do it, I have to do it well.

Besides, after I take a bite of the dessert, no one else will be willing to eat it except myself."

"So, I'll save my weight management until after the Wind Flower Festival. For now, I'll just eat less."

I was taught not to waste food since I was a child, but I have to taste the desserts myself.
After taking a bite of those various muffins and cakes, the remaining parts could not be given away or thrown away.

Because of his strong sense of responsibility, and the value of this alchemical tool far exceeded his imagination,
Barbara, who wanted to repay the other party a little more, recently visited various stores and accidentally ate a lot of small cream cakes without attracting attention.
"Boom, boom"

The sound of footsteps on the wooden stairs instantly brought Barbara's attention back.
Take your mind off weight anxiety for a moment.

Barbara, who had come here to deliver snacks as agreed, was cheered up.
After tidying up her clothes, she walked forward, wondering if the person coming was the one she had been waiting for.

"."

"Hmm? Barbara? How long have you been waiting here?"

“——Huh?! When?”

!!!

I was looking forward, but the voice came from behind me.
Barbara shook her head violently, feeling as if there was someone behind her, and then she felt as if her ponytails on both sides accidentally hit something.
A moment later, inside the room.

After entering the door, put the prepared snacks and purchase location information on the table as quickly as possible.

Looking at Lin Feng who was pouring water for her, Barbara, who was dressed in a priest's uniform, looked around and lowered her head slightly, obviously feeling a little embarrassed about what had just happened.

".Um, sorry, I got scared just now, I didn't mean it."

After hesitating for a moment, he finally apologized politely.
Barbara thought about her overly stressful reaction just now and was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say.

"No, it's my fault, Miss Barbara, don't worry about it.
I was so used to saying hello to a guy like this that I forgot that not everyone can see who is behind them. "

Put the calming scented tea on the table.
Lin Feng, whose face was just covered with ponytail, shook his head, thinking that staying with a drunkard for a long time would indeed lead to some bad habits:

——After all, they were both owners of the power of the wind element. When the drunkard greeted him, nine out of ten times he would appear behind him.

In addition, the social circle around him is quite special, and after a while, he almost feels that being able to see who is behind him is common sense.

"Eh?! Can't everyone see who's behind them? Could it be that there are a lot of people behind them?"

Barbara keenly sensed the hidden message in the words and forgot about the embarrassment for a moment. She blinked and suddenly became curious about who the other party usually dealt with.

"No, there shouldn't be that many. I just happen to know some of them."

There are very few people I interact with on a daily basis who are 100% normal human girls like Barbara.
After summarizing his social circle, Lin Feng found that he was almost losing his common sense in such a daily life.

"Well, I'm still sorry, but it seems like you know some pretty impressive people."

After taking a sip of the scented tea in the cup, I found that my mood magically calmed down.

Barbara looked at the room, which was obviously many times larger than the outside world, and blinked. Suddenly, she realized something:
".The people I know are all very impressive, living in this magical room, and suddenly appearing behind me,
Could it be that you are really like those immortals in Liyue?"

"Don't think too much about it. Just treat me as an ordinary scholar like before."

He shook his head and poured himself a cup of tea.

Thinking of the mistake just now, Lin Feng felt that he had better learn from the experience of the old man and that drunkard, otherwise he never knew when his common sense would go completely astray in the future.

"Well, I'm not as smart as my sister. I'm not very clear about these things, and I probably can't guess them accurately."

I sighed slightly and gave up thinking about this problem.
Barbara, who had shifted the focus of the conversation, also opened the cover of the snack basket on the table. Her eyes sparkled, and she introduced it to Lin Feng with rare confidence:

"——Here, the agreed reward! These are the best snacks I selected after visiting most of Mondstadt. I also consulted the steward in charge of purchasing for the banquet at Dawn Winery about the locations of some of the shops.

Although my tasting speed is limited, so I haven't tried all of them, the ones I gave to other nuns have received high praise.

Overall, I think there shouldn’t be anyone who doesn’t like all the desserts with so many flavors.”

".You tried all kinds of desserts yourself? Ahem, you've worked hard."

It is clear how much Barbara takes her weight management seriously.

Even if someone had screened the food beforehand, Lin Feng would still be impressed as long as he thought of the "Mondstadt idol" in front of him going from store to store and tasting the food himself.
Suddenly I understood why I could see that she felt a little guilty and anxious when I first arrived.

"Eh? It's obvious that I'm not fat, right? I'm trying my best to exercise and reduce my normal diet."

Noticing that the gaze on the other side was a little strange, Barbara looked down anxiously, a little afraid that her sister would also notice that she had gained two sizes of weight.

"Anyway, since I've agreed, I'll send you the remaining desserts that I think are good in the next few days.
Outside of Mondstadt. I will try as much as possible outside of Mondstadt."

Barbara hesitated and added a little more work to herself. With a full sense of responsibility, she decided to add some weight loss exercises after returning.
"No, these should be enough for now. I'll take them over first.
Miss Barbara, don't worry. I may not be here for the next few days, so you can take a rest first."

"Well, of course. If you really have a work-related injury due to eating too much dessert, I will find a way to help you solve it."

Barbara did not have any financial pressure, and her father had a very high position in the church.

I am a little worried that with the sense of responsibility of this priest in front of me, he might try all the desserts found in the surrounding countries, and then have some subtle changes in his image due to excessive calorie intake.

In order to avoid being targeted by Barbara's fans in Mond as the culprit, Lin Feng decided to take some responsibility in this matter.
