Genshin Impact: Starting with Jingyuan Character Card

"Hmph, I'll let you go this time." Yingmei reluctantly let go of the hand that was kneading Paimeng. In fact, she just liked the feeling of bullying Paimeng and was not really blaming Paimeng.

"Hehe, Paimon knows that travelers are the best."

Paimon chuckled, clumsily picked up a small stick, and took the initiative to help Yingmei adjust the temperature of the campfire. Seeing her clumsy look, Ying couldn't help but chuckle.

Soon, the carrot and vegetable soup was freshly prepared. Yingmei first served herself a small bowl, and then pushed the rest of the pot in front of Paimeng. The latter muttered, "I'm not a glutton," while drinking it in big gulps, not afraid of being burned by the soup.

Looking at how little Paimeng was eating, Yingmei also picked up her bowl, gently blew away the hot steam on it, and started to enjoy it happily.

"It seems I'm a step too late." A calm and indifferent voice pulled the two back from the quiet and peaceful atmosphere. Ying was startled and summoned the Dawn Sword given by Kaia, pointing it at the owner of the voice, a brown-haired boy.

After taking a closer look at the person, Ying breathed a sigh of relief and moved the sword away. She had met this person once at Fengshen Square. Although she was not familiar with him, he was definitely not a bad person.

"Hello again, Honorable Knight." The young man greeted her.

"Sorry, you are..." Yingmei was a little embarrassed. She had only seen the man in front of her once after he woke up from a coma, and had never spoken to him, so she didn't know the boy's name.

"I am Albedo, the chief alchemist of the Knights of Favonius."

"I noticed the treasure-stealing group's camp here not long ago, but I didn't have time to deal with it due to research issues. Thank you for solving these troubles." Abe thanked. Although his tone and expression did not have much ups and downs, it did not affect his sincerity.

"Research? What kind of research is it? Can you let us take a look?" Paimeng's curiosity suddenly piqued.

"Paimon!" Ying called out to Paimon. Her behavior was really impolite and would be misunderstood by others.

"Hehe, sorry." Paimon scratched her head a little embarrassedly. She was just curious for a moment.

"It's okay, come with me. This is not some shameful research, and I think you may be able to provide me with a lot of help." Albedo shook his head and invited the two. He was also very interested in Ying, a visitor from another world. If I remembered correctly, she should have a close relationship with Yun Fan and might know something.

Seeing that Albedo had already taken the lead, Ying and Paimon looked at each other, thought for a moment, and finally decided to follow.

Soon, they arrived at Albedo's research camp on the hillside of Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain.

Incomprehensible elemental potions, randomly placed research instruments, and thick alchemy books stacked like a pyramid. The entire camp is filled with an atmosphere of deep research.

At the very center of the camp is a huge research table with several neatly arranged ice blocks placed on it. Unlike regular ice, the ones on the table are obviously clearer and covered with a halo visible to the naked eye.

"What are these..." Ying asked in confusion. She felt that these research materials looked familiar. Wait! Isn't this the ice wall that Yun Fan summoned at that time? It turned out that Albedo was not cleaning up the ice wall, but collecting research materials. But what can these be studied?

"These ice cubes are created by a very special energy. I am trying to separate the energy, but there has not been much progress so far." Albedo explained to Yingmei.

In fact, it is normal that there has been no progress in the research. After all, only about two days have passed since these materials were obtained. It would be a miracle if we could really figure out anything.

"Honorary Knight, place your hand on it and try to feel the energy."

"Special energy?" Yingmei placed her hand on the ice, trying to feel the energy fluctuations inside, but unfortunately, all she felt was biting cold.

Ying did not intend to give up. She immersed her consciousness in it and tried to seek help from the "feather" in her otherworldly sea.

The 'feather' emitted a little golden light in her sea of ​​consciousness, responding to Ying's request. Time passed by, and Albedo and Paimon did not disturb her, but just waited quietly.

Finally, Ying closed her eyes and felt with her heart and caught a pulse of energy she had never seen before.

"I got it!" Ying squeezed hard, and a ball of purple energy separated from the ice and was caught in her hand. The ice that originally served as the carrier turned into a pool of water.

"What is this power?" Seeing that Yingmei really succeeded, Albedo rarely showed a happy expression. He stretched out his fingers and wanted to touch the energy.

But at the moment his fingers touched it, this seemingly docile energy suddenly spread upwards along his fingers. Albedo frowned, pulled his hand back, and at the same time mobilized a large amount of elemental force to fight against it. It took a lot of effort to finally expel it.

"A terrifying power." Albedo commented with his arms folded at his elbows. He could see that this power was far more corrosive than the power of the abyss. If not used properly, it would be a disaster for the entire continent of Teyvat.

But why was the Honor Knight who held this power not corrupted? Was it because the body composition of the aliens was different from that of the people of Teyvat, or was there another reason?

Just as Albedo was thinking, the "feather" in Ying's sea of ​​consciousness emitted a wave, absorbing all the Honkai energy in her hand.

Seeing this, Albedo was stunned for a moment, then he became more certain of his thoughts. He said solemnly: "Honorary Knight, please let me study your body."

fluorescent:? ? ?

Yingmei crossed her arms and looked at Albedo with vigilance. She didn't expect this guy to be this kind of person.

"Sorry, I expressed myself incorrectly. I just want you to cooperate with me in doing some tests to see what the difference is between people from other worlds and people from the continent of Teyvat." Albedo explained to Ying with a slight apology.

“Although I really want to help, I still need to go to Liyue to participate in the ceremony of inviting the immortals. If I miss it, I will have to wait another year.” Ying refused hesitantly.

"Are you going to participate in the ceremony of inviting the immortals? Then why come to Dragonspine Snow Mountain?" Albedo asked curiously. Could it be that these two people were going to cross the Dragonspine Snow Mountain to Liyue?

"Um, this..." Ying was a little embarrassed to speak. She couldn't say that the two of them had taken the wrong path, right?

Ying didn't answer for a long time, and Albedo understood the reason, so he said: "I can take you two across the snowy mountains to Liyue, how about that?"

Yingmei said nothing, but she was already somewhat moved.

"In addition, I can pay you a sum of Mora as your reward." Albedo continued to add.

"I agreed."
