Chapter 373 Albedo, Abe Shao, Huabedo
joke!
If he hadn't been beaten, would he have come here to avoid disaster?
"You can't beat her?" Diluk thought for a moment and asked curiously.
"She is a pure-blooded god, and she has a self-defense weapon left by her father. What on earth makes you think that I can beat her?"
Kaeya looked speechless, as if asking if Diluk was serious about his question just now.
“That’s right.” Diluk said thoughtfully, “You can’t even beat me, let alone those pure-blooded descendants of God?”
"...Do you feel that what you said is offensive?" Kaeya looked at Diluk with empty eyes.
“No.” Diluk shook his head and stood up. “Okay, enough small talk.”
"You are here to avoid disaster and attend the Wind God Celebration this time, right?"
"That's right." Kaia nodded.
"In that case, then come with me." Diluk said this and snapped his fingers, removing the soundproofing barrier.
"In such a hurry?" Kaia was a little surprised. "With the teleportation array, shouldn't it be easy to reach Mondstadt?"
"...I am the heir of the Leggenfend family, and also the vice-captain of the Knights of the South Wind." Diluk said faintly.
"Okay, I see." Kaiya raised his eyebrows slightly, "People with jobs are troublesome, unlike me, who can be idle at home every day."
"This is my home." Diluk corrected Kaeya's mistake.
"…Don't mention this, we are still good friends."
……
In the specially built alchemist's residence in the Mondstadt Snow Mountain, two young men who looked almost identical were looking at each other calmly.
"Hua Beiduo, do you want to participate in this Wind God Festival?"
Albedo looked at the boy in front of him who looked exactly like him, with a hint of complexity in his eyes.
"I won't participate." Hua Beiduo's eyelids drooped slightly. "What does a human festival have to do with us inhuman beings?"
"Albedo, five hundred years have passed, and you seem to have forgotten your identity."
"You, me, and Abe-shao, we have never been human beings, but 'artificial humans', just a creation of mankind."
"...Are you still resenting Master?" After a few seconds of silence, Albedo uttered these words with a complicated expression.
"Why are you talking to me about her?" Hua Beiduo's movement of flipping through the pages of the book paused slightly, and then asked as if he didn't care.
But his instinctive trembling hands betrayed his mood.
"..."Albedo didn't say anything, just looked at Hanabedo silently.
"...It was His Majesty Decarapian who took me in, so now I naturally have to follow that Majesty." Feeling uncomfortable under Albedo's gaze, Albedo was silent for a few breaths, closed the book, and answered seriously:
"So, you don't have to come anymore, Albedo."
"Both Abe and I are failed creations. We both have 'defects' in our bodies, but you are different. You are the most perfect, so you are her disciple and her son."
"And we are just byproducts."
"You have not been abandoned." As if unable to face Hanabedo's gaze, Albedo shifted his gaze to the alchemical product that was reacting not far away.
"We haven't been abandoned?" Hua Beiduo raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes full of sarcasm. "Since Abbe and I were born, in the past five hundred years, has she ever come here to visit me once, or gone to the Lemuria Sea Country to visit Abbe once?"
"Not once!"
"Albedo, you think she has never abandoned us, but whether in the past or now, she has never valued us."
“……” Albedo opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, his face full of guilt.
Perhaps for Albedo at this moment, it was his existence that caused his two "brothers" to be abandoned.
"Leave, Albedo." Huabedo took a deep breath, and the icy air spread around him. Frost flowers fluttered in the space around him. "Leave here before I kill you."
As he said this, he threw the book in his hand back to where Albedo was.
"Tell that old woman that her "Secret Book of the Great Ceremony" is already outdated. The current use of the power of the abyss and the research topics of the Future Ocean Research Institute of the Lemuria Sea Country far exceed her forbidden alchemy."
"A self-righteous woman researching answers that were already available more than a thousand years ago...it's ridiculous."
"The truth about the world?"
"To answer this kind of question, you only need to look for that sacred ruler. The answer you or we have researched is just one of thousands of answers."
“He is omniscient, therefore He is omnipotent.”
"Oh..." Albedo sighed deeply, knowing that this time he probably couldn't achieve his goal.
The situation in the Red Moon Dynasty is a little complicated now.
First, the King of the Red Moon, who was blessed by the God of the Sea, possessed the highest authority and power. While exerting the power of the "Fire of Two Worlds", he was also able to understand the mysteries of the ocean and deep space.
Next are the four great nobles, representing the four pillars of the country.
Then there is the Council of Sages, which is on par with the four great noble families.
[Council of Sages]: "Sage" Helotadi, "Gold" Rhinedot, "Dreamer" Vidofnir, "Abyss Knight" Surt'loki, "Son of the Moon" Lelier and "Holy Sword" Dainsreb.
(Because the world line has been greatly modified, time cannot be seen by mortals, so the "prophet" disappears and the "visionary" is born)
(The original "Moon Hunter" was also changed to "Son of the Moon", "The Evil Rider" was also corrected to "Abyss Rider", and "Sword of the Last Light" was also corrected to "Holy Sword")
Some members of the Council of Sages were born from the four great noble families, but they are full of rebellion against the four great noble families, so they are targeting the four great noble families in all aspects of development today.
The four great noble families have embarked on the wrong path in their development over the years. The sages intend to correct them, but the Red Moon Royal Family, which is above the two, sits back and does not help anyone.
Logically speaking, any force that dares to choose neutrality will basically be the first to be defeated.
But the question is, after Pervilli, the Princess of the Crimson Moon, took the Grand Princess of Holy Lemuria, Furnia, and the Princess of the Whirlpool Reef, Olivia, on a tour of the Crimson Moon Capital, would the Council of Sages and the four great nobles dare to have any extra thoughts?
Of course not!
If something happens to these two in the Red Moon Capital, or if it is caused by the four great nobles and the Council of Sages... guess how many lives these two forces have enough for them to kill?
And now, Rhinedot thought of Huabedo and Abeshao, who were deliberately placed by her in the Kingdom of the Fierce Wind God and the Lemuria Sea Kingdom in the past.
Today, Huabedo has two identities, one is the adopted son of Diocletian, the god of wind, and the other is the leader of the Knights of the South Wind.
Either of these two identities can change the current somewhat rigid situation in the Red Moon Dynasty.
As for Abe...
A fourth-level researcher at the Future Ocean Research Institute, who is about to be awarded the title of scientific research professor!
This holds a very high status in the Lemuria Maritime Kingdom!
His words are something that will gain the attention of the adopted daughter of the sea god, Enoer!
Therefore, Rhinedot, who currently lacks everything, plans to bring back his two escaped cubs in order to increase the weight of the Council of Sages within the Crimson Moon Dynasty.
But unfortunately, how could the two abandoned children accept the belated apology and concern?
So there is a high probability that Albedo will return empty-handed this time.
