Knights of the West Wind, Laboratory.

Looking at the mysterious words slowly crawling on the study table, Ningzhe really didn't know what to do for a while.

Based on his understanding of these ancient books, this kind of picture-like writing should be something that only appeared in the Emirate society and before. According to this, these writings should come from a country older than Mondstadt.

But then again, [Shar Fendenir] is a branch from Mondstadt, and before they settled here, this was a snowfield, and it was impossible for any civilization to survive here.

In addition, the old man has not yet woken up, so Ningzhe was really confused for a while about what this kind of writing was.

Seeing that Ningzhe was lost in thought, Albedo also picked up a plant and placed it in another empty glass jar.

He didn't do anything after discovering this strange phenomenon, but after searching many ancient books and knowledge, he still couldn't find any clues.

"No matter what, since this thing was found in the ice-cast hall, it must have an inseparable relationship with the Snow Country."

After a long silence, Ningzhe stretched out his hand and covered the black words, quietly feeling their movements.

This kind of touch is very delicate. The black liquid will retract the moment it touches Ningzhe's palm, but will soon stretch out again, and then retract again.

If they are a species with some intelligence, this behavior only proves that their thinking seems to be fixed and resets every few seconds.

"Where are you going to go next, back to Liyue or to Dao Wife?"

After placing the plant properly, Albedo raised his head again and looked at Ningzhe.

"Um?"

Hearing this, Ningzhe was stunned for a moment, then showed a smile, and then said: "Whether it is in an official capacity or a private capacity, I must go back to Liyue first."

"As the head of the advance delegation, I am not the permanent envoy stationed in Mondstadt, so Liyue will send a new professional diplomat to Mondstadt."

"But I can guarantee that the newly appointed diplomat is definitely trustworthy and will not cause any diplomatic problems."

After saying these words, Ningzhe suddenly frowned, and then he raised his hand, and those black liquid objects actually clung to his palm.

Strange... hasn't this kind of thing always been repulsive to foreign objects? Why is it actively attached to it at this moment?

And more importantly, Ningzhe didn't feel anything abnormal in his body. On the contrary... he felt a steady stream of warmth coming from his palms, which was a completely positive touch.

"I'm not interested in diplomatic issues, but if you are going to Inazuma, you can let me know in advance."

Abedo shook his head and didn't seem to notice that Ningzhe's hand was covered with a black substance.

"Recent news came from Inazuma's Yaedo Hall. It is said that Inazuma's country's lockdown order has changed greatly, and they officially invited me to participate in an exchange seminar."

"Wait a minute, the lockdown order has changed a lot?"

Hearing this, Ningzhe immediately left the black matter behind and looked at Albedo with all his attention.

No, I haven’t made any arrangements in Inazuma in the past few years. Sora is still in Mondstadt and has not gone to other places. There is no sign of any change in my communication with Yae Shenzi...

It's impossible for General Raiden to figure it out on his own and run away from the Pure Land, right?

"That's right." Abedo nodded, with a calm expression, "I don't know the specific changes, but since I can go to Inazuma as a painter, I guess there have been changes in the lockdown order regarding foreign visitors."

"That's it..."

Hearing this, Ningzhe nodded in sudden realization, and at the same time began to think in his mind.

If you think about it carefully, it's not right...

Given the supreme status of "Tadokoro Koji" in the world of Inazuma's light novels, if this happens, there's no reason why Yae Kamiko shouldn't invite (force) him to organize offline activities!

but......

Ningzhe touched the pink guard hidden on his waist in a very subtle way, and Ningzhe suppressed the idea of ​​asking.

Abedo didn't know that he was "Koji Tadokoro" yet. If he asked at this time, the famous detective might become suspicious. After a while of reasoning, he found the truth.

"Well...I just discovered that you actually got the Eye of God?"

Although Ningzhe's movements were extremely subtle, Albedo still saw them, but his attention was on the green Eye of God.

"Ah... yes, maybe my pursuit of freedom moved [Wind God]. When I woke up today, I found this Eye of God on the bedside."

Seeing Abedo mention this matter, Ningzhe didn't care about it and directly took off the Eye of God and put it in the palm of his hand.

Then, the Eye of God began to emit a faint light, and an extremely gentle breeze began to blow throughout the laboratory.

This gentle wind element...

"That's it, I understand."

Looking at the extremely delicate Eye of God in Ningzhe's hand, Abedo nodded slightly, and then set his sights on the research table again.

But as soon as he let it go, his brows furrowed.

What about that black liquid?

At this time, Ningzhe raised his hand and showed the black liquid object already attached to his palm.

In Ningzhe's left hand is placed the Eye of God that shines with faint light, while his right hand is attached to this black liquid object. At a glance, there is an inexplicable feeling of mutual repulsion.

It's like...the Eye of God is incompatible with this black liquid object, and they will repel each other.

But at the same time, they coexist in Ningzhe in perfect harmony, which is a strange phenomenon.

"It's really interesting... Ningzhe, can you take the initiative to peel these things off your body?"

Abedo showed a rare curious look. Such contradictory and compatible things have always deserved his attention.

"certainly......"

Ningzhe didn't hesitate. With a thought, the black liquid objects attached to his right hand peeled off and fell back on the research table, forming the mysterious font again.

It was at this time that Ningzhe frowned. He suddenly felt that he could understand the specific meaning of those fonts...

"Chasing...protecting...the future?"

Looking at the awkward fonts on the research table, Ningzhe spoke word by word.

"Um?"

Hearing this, Abedo looked at Ningzhe with some doubts.

"I'm talking about the meaning of those fonts... After putting down these objects, I seem to be able to understand what they mean." Ningzhe stared at the fonts carefully, then slowly shook his head, "But I can only see

There doesn’t seem to be a very strict logical relationship between a few scattered words.”

"Chasing, protecting and the future."

Having said this, Ningzhe paused for a moment, and then continued: "But what I can guarantee is that these fonts are definitely not left by [Shar Fendenir]."

After finishing speaking, Ningzhe turned his attention to the black liquid object again.

Of course... Ningzhe still has one sentence he hasn't said yet.

These fonts have another meaning, but it is not a word, but a name - [Clemmons].

That is, the old man’s name.
