Mondstadt, Starfall Lake.

In Abedo's helpless look, Ningzhe and Keli had a delicious meal of grilled fish.

Although it's a bit strange to say this, the fish fried by Keli with a bomb is actually edible... Although the taste is not as delicious as that cooked by regular means, it is still very good as a way to satisfy hunger.

Seeing the fish skeleton in his hand, Ningzhe let out a long breath.

The fish didn't have the burnt smell he imagined, nor did it smell like gunpowder when he took a bite...

"Keli, it seems that after so many years, your bomb composition has been refined a lot."

Looking at the cute girl next to her who had eaten her fill of fish and was squinting her eyes in comfort, Ningzhe spoke with some emotion.

"Kelly's bomb was specially made and improved by Aunt Alice. Compared with the previous style, it has a qualitative leap in terms of power and controllability."

After hearing Ningzhe's emotion, Abedo shook his head slightly and explained.

"Alice...sister? Has she been back to Mondstadt in the past few years?"

Ningzhe originally said "aunt" casually, but in the end he suddenly changed his words to "sister" as if he remembered something.

Abedo didn't pay attention to the details in Ningzhe's words. He just spread his hands with a helpless expression: "Yes, Aunt Alice came back two years ago... She brought a book called "Weird Things and Strange Stories"

"The rice wife novel, said to reproduce some things in it..."

"Weird Stories"?!

Ningzhe swallowed imperceptibly, staring at Albedo, waiting for his next words.

"But Aunt Alice recreated the things inside not for research, but for... [to blow up those damn disgusting monsters with bombs], well... these were her exact words."

"I also read that novel. The author is indeed very imaginative... Just like you, he almost completely broke the novel framework that exists in Teyvat and found his own path."

Abedo looked at Keli lying on the lawn enjoying the breeze, and then said with some humor: "It's just that Aunt Alice seems to have noticed it and brought herself into the protagonist..."

"Haha... This author is the only one who can see this famous mainland adventurer like this..."

Hearing this, Ningzhe laughed twice and agreed with some reluctance.

"Yeah...those fantastic ideas, if there wasn't a laboratory here, I would have started researching them a long time ago."

Perhaps because Ningzhe was beside him, Abedo didn't have any scruples and spoke directly.

In fact, he has long wanted to join in the research of some ideas for this book like Alice... But unfortunately, he mainly stays in the Dragon's Back Snow Mountain now, and it is absolutely impossible for the Knights to help him in the Snow Mountain.

Setting up a laboratory.

In addition, he also tried to directly contact the writer named "Tasoko Koji" through Yaedo's relationship... But unfortunately, Yae Kamiko himself rejected his request, and he did not have the opportunity to meet this writer.

Grandmaster.

"actually......"

Seeing Abedo's fascinated expression, Ningzhe hesitated for a moment and opened his mouth to say something...

However, at this moment, a very strong aura suddenly appeared behind them.

"Um?!"

Ningzhe and Abedo turned back almost at the same time. Ningzhe subconsciously summoned [Chaotic Source], while Abedo also put his hands behind his back with a serious expression.

"Ah... It seems that my appearance offends you two too much?"

The visitor had a gentle voice, but the words he spoke had an inexplicable chill.

"Inazuma's wanderer...?"

Abedo frowned when he saw this man's attire.

Kabuki-like costumes, wearing a city girl hat with a Kumatori mask in the center...

"I just heard two people talking about Rice Wife. I was a little curious, so I came over to take a look..."

Through the thin sandpaper, one could see the gentle smile of this wandering man, but even so, Ningzhe and Abedo could not feel a trace of sincerity.

"What on earth are you..."

Ningzhe clenched the gray brush in his hand and closed his eyes. Then, he discovered that there was a badge on the back of the wanderer that was very familiar to him...

"Are you a fool?"

The moment he said these words, Ningzhe poured his mental power into [Chaotic Source], and the next second, a golden barrier suddenly emerged, protecting him, Albedo and Keli in the middle.

"Well...you have really good powers of observation. You are worthy of being the envoy of Liyue who has been granted the highest authority."

Seeing Ningzhe's actions, the floating man showed a satisfied smile. It looked like... Ningzhe's reaction was very much what he wanted.

"..."

Abedo quietly lowered his hand from behind, and golden power poured into the ground.

After doing all this, Abedo raised his head and looked at the wanderer with a calm expression.

"...If I guess correctly, you should not be an ordinary member of the Fools."

"oh?"

These words made the floating man interested. He looked at Albedo with an interested expression.

"There are not many people with your aura among the fools... plus your clothes, it's easy to guess your identity."

Abedo crossed his arms and looked as calm as ever.

"The Executor of the Fools [Skirmler]...is that right?"

"Hahahahaha... Albedo, the captain of the investigation team of the Knights of the West Wind... is really a good character."

Hearing Abedo's words, the wandering man burst out laughing, but in the next second he regained his composure and said with an indifferent expression: "But... my name is [Guobeng], it's just a code name.

"

The executive's facial expressions and emotions changed so quickly that Ningzhe was confused.

Although he knew that all the executive officers of the Fools were not normal...but it was still a bit strange for him to see them.

"So...executive of fools, what is your purpose?"

Abedo waved his hand gently, and Ningzhe immediately understood, and the golden shield covering them gradually dissipated.

"Purpose? Haha... I don't have any purpose. I am different from other executives. I am free."

Facing Abedo's question, Guobeng still maintained an indifferent expression, but there seemed to be a hint of joking in his indifference.

"but......"

Guobeng slowly raised his right hand, and a dark black energy mass gathered in his hand.

The dark black energy group exuded an unknown and strange aura, as if it could directly affect the surrounding creatures, and even the wind stopped flowing around him.

"..."

However, neither Ningzhe nor Abedo made any move, and Ningzhe even put away [Hunyuan].

"hehe..."

The next second, Guobeng clenched his right hand into a fist, and the dark black energy mass suddenly collapsed and disappeared.

"As expected of [Doctor], he is the person whom [Doctor] should pay special attention to...If I have the chance, I would really like to fight with you two."

The wanderer returned to the gentle smile he had at the beginning, as if everything just happened was just a dream and nothing actually happened.

"Then...I won't disturb you two."

With these words behind him, the executive disappeared in an instant.

"..."

Feeling that the floating man's breath had completely left, Ningzhe turned around and looked at Albedo.

"If I remember correctly, the executive officer of the Fools in Mondstadt should be [Ms.], right?"

"Yes."

Abedo nodded and answered Ningzhe's question.

"So......"

Ningzhe didn't continue speaking. After waiting for a while, he let out a long sigh.
Chapter completed!
