She had this reaction simply because Qin Yu had specifically said that a guy wearing a mask and always smiling was actually a super villain!
This is also the reason why she looked at Bai Luo with curiosity while hiding behind Albedo.
In her opinion, this adult with a smile on his face seemed more approachable than Brother Albedo. He didn't look like a bad person, did he
"Can you wait until I finish this painting?"
After noticing that Bai Luo stopped, Albedo knew that the other party was looking for him.
But he did not stop what he was doing. After comforting Kelly, he continued his painting.
"Of course, I wonder if I would have the honor of viewing Mr. Albedo's paintings?"
"The work itself is for appreciation. Please feel free to use it as you wish."
Was it because he was confident in his own strength? Or was it because he was sure that Bai Luo would not hurt him
In short, Albedo was not too wary of Bai Luo, and even took the initiative to let Bai Luo come over.
"Is this... mint?"
After getting closer, Bai Luo discovered that what Albedo was painting was not the landscape painting that Bai Luo had imagined, but a snow mountain mint swaying in the wind and snow.
However, what is surprising is that the mint is portrayed in great detail in this painting, even some small details are clearly depicted.
But he was very perfunctory about the grass and snow scene next to it.
The blades of grass are even replaced by just a diagonal stroke.
“It’s amazing, isn’t it?”
Perhaps noticing Bai Luo's curiosity, Albedo explained.
"While other plants have changed their characteristics to adapt to the environment, only this plant has stubbornly maintained its own nature. The most precious thing is that it has adapted to this extreme condition without changing its own nature. Perhaps this is also part of evolution?"
Unlike some bards who forced themselves to embellish their words for the sake of singing poetry, Bai Luo could feel that Albedo was sincerely explaining to him the difference of this mint.
Chapter 403 I Trust Alice
On the continent of Teyvat, each country has its own specialties, which usually grow in specific areas.
For example, the Mufeng mushrooms under the eaves of Mondstadt, the colorful flowers of Liyue, and the Mingcao of Inazuma.
But there are three things that every country has and are said to be everywhere.
That's Mint, Sweet Flower, and Fools.
Um
Bai Luo also counts.
"I'm sorry, I often give lectures to students, so I spoke a little more without realizing it."
After finishing drawing the mint in his hand, Albedo realized something.
Standing next to him was not one of his former students, but an executive from the Fatui.
In fact, after reading the letter Qin wrote to him, he didn't have a very good impression of Bai Luo.
This is also one of the reasons why he protected Klee behind him.
But after they actually met, Bai Luo gave him a different feeling.
If Albedo had not seen the other person's portrait and confirmed that he was the executive that Qin mentioned, he would have thought that it was another alchemist who came to him to learn.
Bai Luo gained enough respect from him because the other party did not interrupt him when he was painting and explaining.
"Mr. Albedo's lecture was very good and I benefited a lot from it."
When it comes to life and evolution, Albedo's insights are different from what Bai Luo has learned before, and are also different from the doctor's theory.
Although he was confused about many things, this lecture did provide him with a lot of useful knowledge.
He has enough enthusiasm for knowledge, which may be one of the reasons why the doctor values him.
After all, the motivation of today's so-called "scholars" to learn knowledge is no longer so pure.
Especially those old guys in the Ministry of Education, who always say that others are stubborn, but in fact they are the ones who are conservative.
"What is your name?"
In order to confirm that he had not recognized the wrong person, Albedo asked.
"Bai Luo, as you can see, is an executive officer of the Fatui."
Unless he is in another profession, Bai Luo usually does not hide his identity.
Because there is no need at all.
The moment he became an executive, many prominent organizations basically got his information.
"So, Mr. Bai, what do you want from me?"
After simply polishing up the other lines, Albedo asked aloud.
Although his depiction of the grass is relatively simple, it was actually influenced by some works of art.
He had only seen fakes of the work titled "Sketch of Reeds", but he greatly admired the artistic accomplishments in it.
The weeds in the painting "Snow Mountain Mint" were partially influenced by "Reed Grass".
"Actually, the main reason I came here this time was because of her."
Bai Luo looked at Ke Li next to him and spoke.
And his words also made Albedo's eyes become sharper.
There are not many people or things that Albedo can take good care of, but Klee is definitely someone he would risk his life to protect.
He would never allow anyone to hurt this little guy in any way.
Although Qin sent a letter to warn him to be careful of Bai Luo, he did not specify what the other party would do. If he had known that the other party's target was Klee, he would not have been so bold to discuss academic matters with the other party.
"Don't worry, I'm not targeting her. I'm just here to tell someone something."
After Bai Luo noticed that Albedo's eyes had changed, he began to explain.
"In fact, I have a baseball friend in Inazuma who is also a friend of mine, and she also happens to know Ms. Alice. After Ms. Alice knew that I was in Mondstadt, she wrote me a letter and asked me to tell her daughter a message."
Bai Luo's words made Albedo relax his vigilance a little, because based on his understanding of Alice, this seemed to be her style.
But he still had his doubts.
Because of the relationship between Klee and Alice, you can find out if you pay a little attention.
He didn't believe that the fools would not know these things.
"Wow! Did mom send me a message? What did mom say!"
It was different for Keli. She had never been wary of Bai Luo, but when she heard her mother's name, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Although she did not succeed in running to Bai Luo's side due to Albedo's restrictions, she still raised her head and looked at Bai Luo with expectant eyes.
"She said... [Mom prepared a big surprise for Little Sun in the summer]."
"Wow! It's a surprise! Brother Albedo! Mommy prepared a surprise for Klee!"
Little Sun's enthusiasm could hardly be contained.
And the last trace of vigilance in Albedo's eyes had quietly disappeared.
As the best adventurer in the entire continent, Alice left an impression of mystery and elegance on ordinary people.
Only those who are familiar with her will know her true nature.
And such a sentence is completely Alice's style.
"It seems that Mr. Albedo trusts me this time?"
After noticing Albedo's change, Bai Luo teased him.
"No, it's not you I trust, it's Alice."
Just like he said, respect is respect, but he has never truly trusted the Fatui.
If he had Alice's blessing, even if Bai Luo was a fool, his attitude would change a lot.
How to say it... ... Even when talking about his relatives, the first person he thought of was his master.
But now, the people closest to him, apart from his master, should be Klee and Aunt Alice, right
Even though he found it ridiculous that she always wanted him to call her mom, he had already regarded Kelly as his own sister.
"Come to think of it, Mr. Albedo is also a teacher, right?"
Seeing that the relationship between the two had eased a lot, Bai Luo began to ask casually.
"Well, as the chief alchemist of the Knights of Favonius, I always answer questions from others. This is one of the reasons why they call me teacher."
In fact, before Albedo came to Mondstadt, the art of alchemy was in a lost state.
If it weren't for him, the Mond people's understanding of alchemy would be just some small tricks that were not presentable.
"What if I want to learn it? Do I have a talent for it?"
With that deceptive smile on his face again, Bai Luo asked.
His original purpose of going up the mountain, in addition to finding Klee, was to discuss information related to the Eye of God with Albedo.
But the young man lying in the tent made him change his mind.
Although I have promised many people that I will never cause trouble in Mond.
But for Bai Luo, causing trouble is not an active skill, but a passive skill.
If I didn't take the initiative to cause trouble, then it's not my fault!
"When learning alchemy, the most important thing is not talent, but whether you have the corresponding patience and strong willpower. After all, when configuring the materials, you have to be precise to the last digit."
Albedo did not directly speak of Bai Luo's talent, but from his tone, it seemed that he was still willing to guide Bai Luo.
Chapter 404 Sunset Fruit Bomb
Just like you don’t know how much rain, dew and frost will be on the tree-lined path in the early morning.
Albedo will never know that beneath Bai Luo's thirst for knowledge, there is a sour fruit hidden.
After a brief communication with Bai Luo, he had almost understood whether Bai Luo had talent in this area.
Putting aside other things, just the pursuit of knowledge has made Albedo very satisfied.
More importantly, although Bai Luo has not had much exposure to alchemy, he still has some basic knowledge of it.
According to him, he once conducted research with a top scholar, so it's no wonder that he has such a foundation.
With a solid foundation, all he needs is extraordinary patience and a certain amount of practice.
After Albedo decided to perfect the "Snow Mountain Mint" in his hand, he took Bai Luo back to his camp and began to teach him some introductory courses.
During the time he was perfecting his painting, Bai Luo had already become good friends with Klee next to him.
“Is this a bomb?”
Keli tilted her head and looked at the sunset fruit in Bai Luo's hand, her face full of confusion.
To her, sea bass is the most delicious thing in the world.
But my mother also said that good children cannot be picky eaters.
So in addition to the delicious perch in the Fruit Wine Lake, the sweet sunset fruit is also one of her desserts after the meal.
bomb
No matter how you look at it, the fruit in Bai Luo's hand is just an ordinary sunset fruit, right
"Wait, I'll show you."
Seeing that Keli didn't believe it, Bai Luo looked around and finally his eyes were fixed on the tall figure sitting under the cliff.
That is a being called the Hillock Frost Armor King, a huge Hillock man respected by his fellow countrymen as [Lawa].
The body that has been trained to the extreme has merged with the overflowing ice elements on the snow-capped mountains, and the bulging muscles look tough.
Around it, there are two Ice Hill Shamans and several ordinary Hillmen.
