Bai Ye, You Are Cleansing the Abyss

After Bai Ye and Hu Tao came out, they never expected that two more people would appear here.

These two people are both acquaintances of mine.

A one-sided acquaintance.

Cute Klee...

And then there's Albedo hair volume is surprisingly healthy.

Why are those two here in Liyue Harbor?

Bai Ye was still wondering, Klee was looking at the stone pillars by the roadside.

"Brother and sister, were you born from this stone pillar?!"

Klee, recalling some fairy tales Albedo had told her, asked with a hint of excitement.

"Born from a stone pillar, wouldn't I become like Monkey King?"

Bai Ye Klee say that, Yoru was both amused and exasperated.

"Monkeys? What are those? Could they be like my brother, who is a gaiter?"

Klee looked up at Bai Ye and couldn't help but feel a sense of closeness.

At this point, according to the story, I first encountered Dodoco, and now I'm meeting my older brother and sister who appeared from the stone pillar. Should I go and deal with the Great Demon King?

With Dodoco, Albedo, this 10-year-old brother, and an older sister who looks like a great human, we'll eliminate even the Demon King.

Klee thought to herself.

Albedo, having seen many such things, pointed at the stone pillar and asked, "Is this some kind of spatial Adeptal Art from the Liyue?"

"Yes, that's right, that's a space formed by immortal magic."

Bai Ye nodded.

"Klee, they didn't come out of this pillar," Albedo said, explaining the structure of the pillar to Klee.

"I see." Klee felt slightly disappointed after hearing Albedo's explanation.

This means I can't go on an adventure with the older brother who's been watching.

However, this disappointment was fleeting. With her childlike nature, she still looked around, her face filled with a desire to see everything.

Mondstadt and Liyue Harbor are completely different styles, Klee has a strong sense of wonder about the architecture of Liyue Harbor.

Albedo, seeing through Klee's thoughts, couldn't help but smile indulgently and said to her, "Well, in that case, after we deliver the official documents, I'll take you Klee, to stroll around Liyue Harbor."

"Uh-huh."

Klee nodded vigorously.

"Official documents? You two came all the way from Mondstadt to deliver official documents?" Bai Ye asked, hearing Albedo's words.

Is there something in Mondstadt that you need Albedo and Klee to deliver?

If it's something important, we can send out members who can act more quickly; but if it's not urgent, Albedo and Klee's status and importance in the Knights of Favonius are no small matter.

"Yes, we're here looking for some help."

Albedo said frankly.

"Is there anything Mondstadt needs Liyue's help with?"

"Bai Ye I asked, puzzled."

"Well, it's not really Mondstadt asking for help right now. It's just some personal matters of my own..."

Albedo thought for a moment, then said to Bai Ye, "My name is Albedo, and I am an alchemist from Mondstadt. I have come to Liyue to seek someone's help."

He could see clearly that both Bai Ye and Hu Tao possessed Adeptal Art.

Possessing both Adeptal Art and the Genshin Eye, these two individuals undoubtedly hold a high position in Liyue.

Perhaps finding these two people could save him some trouble.

"Albedo? That name sounds familiar..." Upon hearing the name Albedo, Hu Tao showed a thoughtful expression.

Then she clapped her hands.

"You're the chief alchemist of Mondstadt!?"

Upon hearing Hu Tao guess Albedo's name, Klee immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Yes, sister, you're so smart! Albedo is the most powerful alchemist in Mondstadt!"

Albedo didn't say much.

After introducing Albedo, Klee also introduced herself.

"My name is Klee, and I am a knight of the Knights of Favonius."

"You, a knight?"

Hu Tao looked at Klee with a surprised expression.

At this age, to become a knight of the Knights of Favonius? What are the Knights of Favonius for?

"Hu Tao, some people can't be judged by their appearance."

Hu Tao might not be a match for Klee yet.

"Mmm, mmm..."

Klee heard what Bai Ye said, Touka nodded excitedly.

This older brother not only looks at things in a strange way, but he also speaks in a strange way.

Bai Ye also introduced himself to Albedo.

"This is Hu Tao, the head of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. Um, I hope you won't need to see her..."

Hu Tao heard what Bai Ye said, she put her hands on her hips in protest.

"My name is Bai Ye, and I'm currently just a Bounty Hunter."

Bai Ye casually introduced himself.

"Hey, I'll take you to Liyue Harbor to find the Seven Stars. One of them is still working."

I can guarantee that Keqing Bai Ye still be working hard.

I'm sure I can find her if I just go there.

However, he didn't expect that after he said that, the two of them didn't rush to let him take them to find Keqing, but instead looked at him.

What are these two people doing?

A question lingered in Bai Ye's mind.

Just then, Klee looked up at Bai Ye and said happily, "Big brother, you're Bai Ye! We came to Liyue to find Bai Ye."

"Looking for me?"

Bai Ye pointed to himself in confusion.

But the next second, he immediately realized who had 'betrayed' his secret.

There will be no one else but Venti, the Anemo Archon Venti.

He was not pleased with Venti's 'betrayal'.

He knew very well that Venti must have her own reasons for doing this.

"Yes, I came here seeking your help."

Albedo nodded slightly.

Albedo wasn't worried at all about Bai Ye's disguise. Although he was an alchemist, his centuries of life had given him some knowledge of Liyue's Art of Automata. Albedo knew that Bai Ye was a master of Art of Automata, and if someone was impersonating him, he would naturally be able to identify them.

Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, Bai Ye said to Albedo:

"We can find a place to discuss this in detail. This place isn't really suitable for talking about things."

"Um."

Albedo nodded.

Even Albedo wouldn't talk about his own affairs in the street.

And...

Klee was hungry too.

On the way back to Liyue Harbor, Klee kept glancing at Bai Ye with a curious look in her eyes.

This surprised Albedo.

Is Bai Ye's allure a little too much?

It was only their first meeting, yet Klee felt an instant connection with him.

Moreover, this is still an innocent child. Albedo paid attention to Hu Tao, whose eyes seemed to be ready to devour Bai Ye at any moment.

Meanwhile, Bai Ye was also deep in thought.

Albedo came to me for help? Does he want me to solve the problems that are spiraling out of control in his life?

He still supported Albedo when he came to him for help.

Albedo is an extremely skilled alchemist. There are many similarities and complementarities between Art of Automata and alchemy. If he could master some alchemy, it would be of great help in creating his own mechanisms.

Especially since he was about to create a mechanism to harness the power of the Gods.

This can increase the chances of getting a lucky draw, so you have to work hard at it.

Moreover,

Aside from alchemy, Albedo's body was far more important.

As a creation of 'gold', Albedo's body will be of great help when he creates a body for his teacher in the future.

Currently, the only relatively complete homunculus on Teyvat that Bai Ye is aware of are Albedo, Raiden Shogun, and the Scaramouche.

Scaramouche's terrible character, if I were to suggest exploring his body, we would probably have already started fighting.

As for Raiden Shogun, that's not even a question of fighting; I reckon she'll just hack him to death.

Albedo's body is currently the most suitable target for research.

The group arrived at the Liuli Pavilion.

Since the purpose of this discussion is to address matters, the noisy Wanmin Restaurant is not suitable.

And...

"This is a voucher for the Liuli Pavilion. Please arrange a private room for me."

Every year, the Liuli Pavilion Liyue Qixing and Ganyu, among others, receive VIP invitations. The Seven Stars may choose not to use these invitations, but the Liuli Pavilion wouldn't dare refuse. Currently, Bai Ye's status is the same as the Seven Stars'; whatever the Seven Stars have, Bai Ye naturally possesses as well.

Bai Ye was quite looking forward to blatantly freeloading at the Liuli Pavilion.

"Since you've come to Liyue, we should at least give you a proper welcome."

If it could help his teacher's rebirth, Bai Ye would certainly not be stingy.

Several people entered the private room.

Bai Ye asked the chef at the Liuli Pavilion to prepare more dishes.

All four of them were a little hungry and needed to eat more later.

Then he looked at Albedo.

"Mr. Albedo, could you please tell me about your situation? I also need your help with something."

"Um..."

Albedo nodded, then looked at Klee.

Although Hu Tao's gaze was fixed on Albedo Bai Ye, she still noticed Abedo's gaze and immediately spoke to Klee:

"Hey, Klee, right? Before the food arrives, I'll take you to buy some Liyue specialties."

Some wondered what Bai Ye was saying to the alchemist, but Hu Tao understood the alchemist's concerns, so she decided it was more important for Bai Ye to finish his own business.

"Klee, go with Miss Hu Tao." Albedo took out a lot of Mora from his pocket and handed it to Klee.

"Uh-huh..."

Klee nodded.

"Sister Henren, shall we go out?"

"You idiot, although I am indeed an idiot, why were you able to recognize me at a glance..."

Seeing the two of them leave, Bai Ye Albedo, "Now, Mr. Albedo, can you tell me about your situation?"

"Well, I came here to see if you've resolved my out-of-control situation..."

Albedo recounted his story to Bai Ye.

This includes his own identity as a homunculus and the matter of the Dragon Durin.

Finally, Albedo hoped that Bai Ye could help him resolve this potential loss of control.

Upon hearing Albedo recount his story, Bai Ye wore a thoughtful expression, and at the same time, he activated the Hagintos in his mind.

"Teacher, this time when this happened..."

He told Hagintos everything about Albedo.

"It seems that the Dragon Durin was created relatively late and was Abyss influenced by the Abyss, which is why it went out of control five hundred years ago. This Albedo in front of us is obviously not as affected, so when it was created, the 'gold' must have been influenced by the Abyss as well."

At this point, Hagintos's expression immediately changed, and he warned Bai Ye, "You must never get involved in anything related to the Abyss. Even if you're going to study the Abyss, you need to take precautions. If you get tainted by the Abyss, we're all doomed."

Previously, Bai Ye had used the powers of Gods to repay evil spirits, Hagintos wasn't worried at all. Bai Ye could even bear the burden of his own remnant soul, so what problem would there be with him bearing the powers of Gods?

At most, it's just a matter of being a little full.

Karmic obstacles are even less of a concern; they are merely the condensation of the Archon Residue.

If faced with the power of the Abyss, Hagintos was worried that the Bai Ye might be corrupted by it.

Even during the Archon War of the past, the power of the Abyss was a power that the Gods greatly feared.

"Okay, I understand. I plan to start by gradually making contact with them from the outside."

Hearing his teacher's advice, Bai Ye nodded in agreement.

Hagintos was relieved.

Even if we're going to experiment with the Abyss, we have to do it little by little.

Abyss Mage also possess some Abyss power, albeit a weaker version. Bai Ye could try to make contact with such beings first.

"Okay, you can try making contact now. I'll be watching closely, and I'll stop you immediately if anything goes wrong."

Hagintos said to Bai Ye.

"Um."

Bai Ye nodded.

Then he looked at Albedo.

"Albedo, now I'll try to touch your power and see if my abilities can help you. However, for safety's sake, I must try it little by little from the outside."

"Um."

Albedo nodded.

He supports this point; necessary experiments are important.

"Alright, I'll give it a try."

Bai Ye made Albedo expose one of his forearms, and then pressed his hand on it.

He wanted to see what would happen after he came into contact with the Abyss.

Bai Ye's palm touched Albedo's arm.

Instantly, a sharp pain came.

Bai Ye quickly withdrew his hand.

Just now, I only felt as if my hand was being pressed into hot water, and a sharp pain was coming from my palm.

On the other side, Albedo's brows were furrowed, and he looked like he was enduring even greater pain.

He clenched his teeth tightly, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"What... what happened?"

"You, your power, to vanish, to eliminate the Abyss..."

Albedo endured the pain while answering the Bai Ye.
