From the information in the tent, Bai Luo has basically figured out what the Fatui stationed here are doing.
It cannot be said that the Fatui on the mountain were careless. If it were not for the executive officer, it would be impossible for a document of this level to be taken out so easily.
"We have almost discovered it, but we don't know how to extract it completely."
After Waking bowed, he reported.
The Fatui gathered in the snowy mountains for none other than to kill the poisonous dragon Durin who was buried there.
The poisonous dragon Durin is one of the creations of [Gold].
When talking about gold, we actually have to start from the level of alchemy.
On the continent of Teyvat, alchemy is mainly divided into four stages.
Black soil, chalk, red clay, and gold.
As the information on the other three is not very detailed at present, we will not read too much into it. (For fear of backstabbing)
Let’s mainly talk about black soil for those who don’t know.
Black earth is the etymology of alchemy and also the original state.
The alchemy that Albedo mastered is called the Black Earth Art.
Compared with other alchemy, Black Earth Art focuses more on the branch of creating life.
Even Albedo himself is a creation of the Black Earth Technique.
The Black Earth Technique itself is also divided into several stages.
Judging from the material description of the Beast Hound in the game, the black soil stage is divided into at least three levels.
The eluvial layer, the humus layer and the chalk layer.
The wolves in the beast realm, which we jokingly call bloody dogs, are the lowest level of the eluvial layer.
The poisonous dragon Durin is a masterpiece of the humus layer.
The ultimate masterpiece is the Cretaceous layer.
Among the many creations of [Gold], Durin of the Humus Layer can be said to be second only to Albedo of the Cretaceous Layer.
At the same time, this is also the reason why Albedo always gives people the feeling of having a knife in the game.
Durin under the Cretaceous layer can fight with Tevarin, let alone the Cretaceous layer that is more advanced than it
Perhaps one day, we will really have to fight the Sons of Chalk.
Durin is the enemy of the God of Wind. Even though he cannot reach the level of a god, he also possesses extraordinary power.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an existence that can rival God or an existence related to God.
When the Executors seized the power of the gods, their advance troops began to collect some things related to the gods on the continent.
Even though the poisonous dragon Durin died in the conflict a hundred years ago, the bones he left behind still have special value to the Fatui.
This is one of the reasons why the advance team gathered in Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain.
Chapter 400: Roar in the Night
"Don't be nervous. I came to the snow mountain this time for other things. I won't interfere with your work."
Compared to Anastasia, who likes to control everything, Vagin doesn't care much about the power in his hands.
What he cared more about was whether Bai Luo would interfere with his plans.
He would feel very uncomfortable if his plan failed due to the other party's interference.
What he fears most is that the other party will put the blame on him again.
Although it is natural to take the blame for your boss, no one wants to take the blame for no reason.
After Bai Luo's assurance, Wa Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
There was just one thing he didn't know: on the continent of Teyvat, Bai Luo's promises were the least trustworthy.
After inspecting the work, Bai Luo also started to busy himself with his own business.
Even if he could find Albedo's sketching camp on his own, how could he not use it when he had his subordinates
Besides, there is no guarantee that Jean will be able to contact Albedo in some way and ask him to move his base.
But what surprised him was that Vagin actually knew about Albedo's existence.
"Master Executor, are you talking about the chief alchemist of the Knights of Favonius?"
That makes sense. Albedo is a frequent visitor to the snowy mountains. If Vagin and the others were on the snowy mountains, they would inevitably run into each other.
He just wondered why there was no conflict between the two sides.
"In fact, we met that guy when we were searching for Durin's remains. However, due to his identity as the chief alchemist of the Mondstadt Knights, we were afraid that it would affect the lady's layout in Mondstadt, so we did not take the initiative to cause trouble. It seems that he also had the same purpose, so we have been living in peace for so long."
Waking was also a man who knew what was important. He knew that his main target was the poisonous dragon Durin, so he did not provoke the other party.
As for whether Albedo has the same purpose as him... Bai Luo doesn't know.
After all, the guy who looks like a prince is actually a super black-bellied person.
The phrase "Have you committed a crime?" is still widely circulated today.
"Then do you know where his camp is?"
Since Vagin and the others have met Albedo before, they should know where he lives.
In this way, many problems become much simpler.
"You want to go find that boy?"
Bai Luo was happy, but Wajing felt very disappointed.
You just said you wouldn't cause trouble, how come you suddenly take the initiative to get involved
They all saw how much trouble that alchemist was.
Especially in recent days, there have been bursts of roars coming from the direction of the enemy camp from time to time.
Even at night there is no peace.
There are also alchemists among the Fatui, and they know that this is caused by the failure of alchemy.
But hasn’t he been failing too often recently
In order to prevent his men from being accidentally injured by the other side, he has been strictly prohibiting his men from approaching the other side during this period of time.
He was not worried about whether the executor would be accidentally injured by the other party, because in the eyes of most Fatui, the executor's martial arts skills were comparable to those of gods.
but
Oh, never mind, after all he is my boss.
Originally, according to Wajing's idea, he should directly arrange some people for Bai Luo and take him with him.
But his proposal was rejected by Bai Luo.
Bai Luo just wanted to cause trouble this time... to pass on the message. If he brings too many people, many things will be inconvenient.
Vagin had no choice but to give up and sent someone to prepare a map for Bai Luo, marking the location of Albedo's camp.
After getting the location of Albedo's camp, Bai Luo was not in a hurry to leave.
Reality is not like games. In games, you can run to the snowy mountains at any time, but not in reality.
At night, the snowy mountains are much more dangerous than usual.
And this danger does not come from monsters or villains, but more from the snowy mountain itself.
Even during the day, you may not be able to confirm whether the snow-covered area in front of you is a mountain road or a deep pit, let alone at night
So Bai Luo decided to rest in the camp for one night and then go find Albedo the next day.
The food for the advance troops was already good, and Bai Luo's arrival also made Vagin take out the refrigerated meat that he only ate during festivals.
The north wind was biting fiercely outside, but inside the tent there was singing and dancing, laughter and joy. It was hard to tell that we were on a snowy mountain.
Amidst the noise, a roar sounded from somewhere in the snowy mountains, causing all the Fatui leaders present to be stunned at the same time.
"here we go again... ... "
Waking put down the kerosene in his hand, with a look of helplessness on his face.
The expressions on the others' faces were similar.
Only Bai Luo showed a thoughtful expression.
If he remembered correctly, Vagin said it was the explosion of Albedo's failed experiment.
Before, he thought it was the noise when Klee used the bomb.
But now it seems that this noise is not the sound of something exploding, but rather
Knocking sound
In short, this is definitely not the sound of an explosion!
However, he did not reveal this matter to the people present until the few high-ranking members of the Fatui who had come to have dinner with him returned to their tents. Only then did Bai Luo quietly put on his fur cloak and disappeared into the night.
The blessing of the God of Wind, coupled with the fact that he seemed to have escaped into another dimension after becoming invisible, made him feel more at ease than ordinary people on the increasingly cold snowy mountains.
The roar continued, and the Fatui near the camp seemed to have become accustomed to the sound and were too lazy to even look when they heard it.
Only Bai Luo was there, walking towards that direction with one step deep and one step shallow.
Walking on the path on the snowy mountain, Bai Luo was getting closer and closer to where the sound came from.
There were also many Hilichurls and the like along the way, but Bai Luo avoided them all.
Walking along the broken stone steps covered by snow and passing through the ruins of the ancient kingdom, the scene in front of Bai Luo suddenly became clear.
Standing on the edge of the cliff, you can have a panoramic view of the scene below.
In the blizzard, several objects similar to rock pillars stretched across the entire valley, covered with ice and snow, making them look like the ribs of some creature.
No... ...or rather it was the rib of some creature.
And it is the rib of the poisonous dragon Durin!
With the help of the Broken-Winged Angel, Bai Luo jumped down and landed on a skeleton.
The skeleton, completely covered by ice and snow, has lost the texture of bones and looks like rock.
Directly below the skeleton are the Fatui's tents, carriages, chevaux de frise and other items.
But no one stays here at night.
Although Du Lin is dead, his influence on the surroundings is still there. If you stay here for a long time, you may be affected.
After all, its poisonous blood has tormented Tevarin for hundreds of years, and its power is evident.
These were all what he saw from the documents when he was in the tent.
“Boom—”
The roar sounded again, this time clearer than before.
"Is this... the sound of a heart beating?"
Chapter 401 The Boy in Du Lin’s Belly
Judging from the traces at the scene, the Fatui cleaned up quite neatly after get off work. Apart from some worthless carts and a bonfire for heating, there were no tools left at the scene.
However, in just less than one night, the snow and wind had already buried the open space cleared by the Fatui nearby.
If the soldiers of the Fatui had not been accustomed to this kind of wind and snow in winter, they would definitely have cursed loudly.
Following the traces that had not yet been completely buried, Bai Luo walked to a cave with obvious signs of artificial excavation.
Before people even enter, a wave of heat already hits them in the face.
Blood-red veins meandered out from the depths of the cave and clung to the cracks in the rock.
The Fatui clearly intend to protect this vein, and when they clean up this vein, they will intentionally preserve it.
Perhaps due to the influence of this vein, even the grass leaves at the entrance of the cave looked covered with a layer of blood red.
