When Famas was buried, it was on the other side of the Dragon's Back Snow Mountain.
Albedo walked in front of him, leading the way for Ying and Paimon. He was silent along the way, looking back from time to time, wondering what he was thinking.
It wasn't until a few people approached the alchemy room in the mountains that he spoke: "Ying."
"Um?"
Ying answered blankly, tilting his head, still a little confused. There was already a little layer of snow on his blond hair, and Paimon was trying hard to pat Ying's hair.
Abedo looked back again, and after making sure that Famas was not following, he continued: "Do you know... Famas' past?"
The chalky boy considered his words.
However, what they got was affirmative answers from Ying and Paimon.
"Um!"
"Of course we know!"
Ying still gave a faint hum, while Paimon danced and proudly showed off to Albedo.
When Abedo introduced paintings and alchemy just now, Paimon couldn't say a word, which greatly affected her self-esteem as a guide. Now Abedo's cautious inquiry gave Paimeng a kind of "Do you have any?" "When you know it", he excitedly said to Albedo.
"Hehe, if Albedo wants to know, call me Lord Paimon and I will tell you."
However, Paimon's disapproval only received a look of disgust from Albedo.
Ying looked at Albedo, who was leading the way, and had to say that Albedo's well-proportioned figure seemed to have been exquisitely designed before he was born, and his face seemed to be covered with ice and snow, with a slight chill. But this kind of ice and snow is not the kind of unmelting snow that has lived in severe cold places for a long time. It is ice and snow that evaporates warm patches under the warm sun. This makes him neither too friendly nor too too friendly. Cold.
Like a piece of crystal that has been carefully carved, it has an elusive depth.
"Since you know, I won't ask."
Abedo answered coldly, but after walking for a while, he couldn't help but ask the person next to him: "Famas... was the former lord of Munata, did you know?"
There is no doubt that Albedo, who has a cold face and a warm heart, is still worried. He avoids Paimon and quietly asks Ying, who is observing around him.
"Know."
Ying's answer was quick and brief, as if she was too distracted by the wind and snow to speak.
"Then he... was once a cruel and cold god, do you know that?"
Abedo thought for a while and added once.
"cruel?"
Ying asked curiously, while Paimon, who was hiding in Ying's arms, looked at Albedo with a naive look, and asked doubtfully: "Although the bastard has fought in the war, he has always been a very good person."
Ying and Paimon simultaneously recalled the scene they had seen on the uninhabited island, the all-powerful figure sitting on the throne.
War will definitely kill people, but as far as Paimon and Ying know, Famas has never done anything cruel.
In addition to harvesting Timmy's doves on time.
But Ying does this sometimes.
Hearing the answers from Ying and Paimon, Albedo showed a true expression and said to them very solemnly: "You have been deceived. He is the former war lord of Munata. He is cruel, bloodthirsty, and insensitive." …”
Abedo began to use a series of derogatory words to describe Famas. After his teacher left, Abedo searched for records about the tyrant Munata in some extremely secret places. Famas had killed a large number of people. Prisoners of war and soldiers are absolute demons.
Combining the legends he found with what his teacher said, Albedo could come to the conclusion that this Famas, who pretended to be kind, was actually an unscrupulous tyrant.
Although making guesses based on legends is a bit arbitrary, in line with the principle of staying away from danger, Albedo still told Ying and Paimon some of the information he found.
"Really?"
"I do not believe!"
Although Paimon and Ying were shocked when they heard what Abedo said, it was still difficult for the two people who were already familiar with Famas's character to connect the person Abedo said with the boy in red who was now causing trouble everywhere.
"In this case……"
Abedo said helplessly, "Then, I will be fully prepared. The next time I meet him, I will expose his disguise..."
"etc……"
Ying just wanted to say that the fisherman Fengshen and Famas were good friends and they had met several of them, but seeing the serious Albedo, Ying decided not to persuade him anymore.
It wasn't until Albedo mentioned it that he realized that he really didn't know enough about Famas. Apart from the clips he saw from the uninhabited island and the few words Wendy said, there seemed to be no more news.
"Oh, yes, and in the bathroom..."
Thinking of this, Ying's face suddenly turned red, which was even more prominent against the backdrop of ice and snow.
"Here we are, this is my laboratory."
A calm voice came to her ears, awakening her from her imagination.
Only then did Ying notice that the three of them had arrived in a cave with a bonfire, a huge alchemy platform and medicine preparation equipment.
On both sides of the cave are several huge bookshelves and wooden counters where alchemical medicines are stored. There are still steaming potions in the distilling vessels, as well as an alchemist with short brown hair and a somewhat unkempt appearance standing next to the alchemy table.
"This is my camp. This is my student, Timaeus, the person you are looking for."
Albedo walked up to the focused Timaeus, glanced at the potion he was brewing, frowned, and sighed softly.
"Timaeus, if you add too much ice crystal butterfly in the potion, it will affect the compatibility between the elements. Add a few dried flame stamens. Don't add it all at once, it will explode."
Albedo appeared quietly behind Timaeus, and his soft voice frightened Timaeus' hand holding the beaker to shake, causing the potion in the bottle to almost spill out.
"Ah...Teacher Abedo, you are back."
Timaeus carefully followed Albedo's instructions and added small amounts of flame stamens into the beaker in his hand. The color of the medicine in the bottle changed from ice blue to normal light purple, which made Timaeus breathe a sigh of relief. After putting down the potion, he wiped his sweat and finally turned his head.
"Thank you, Teacher Abedo, I was worried about the color of the potion..."
"Hey, are they Honor Knight and Paimon?"
Timaeus just turned around, wanting to discuss alchemy issues with Albedo, when he suddenly saw Ying and Paimon following his teacher, and was stunned for a moment.
"You guys chat."
Abedo shook his head, made room, and walked to the bookshelf in the cave camp, seemingly looking for some information.
"Hey, you didn't expect that, did you? Have you finished writing Mr. Timaeus's love poem? We are here to collect homework on behalf of Wendy!"
Paimon suddenly rushed to Timaeus, holding his hands in his arms and shaking his body triumphantly.
"Uh...I'm very sorry, I haven't had time to write..."
Hearing Paimon's words, Timaeus just smiled bitterly, spread out his hands, leaned into Paimon's ear, and whispered: "I just came down from West Wind Square, and Teacher Abedo dragged me to the snowy mountains to do research. ...I didn’t have a chance to write.”
"Eh? Is alchemy so mysterious? Does it require so many experiments?"
"There is no way. Teacher Abedo has been troubled by a mysterious seed for many days. No matter how he cultivates it, he can't make it germinate. But according to the results of the life test, the seed can grow..."
Timaeus grabbed his hair in difficulty and pointed to the book on the alchemy table.
"Although I really want to help the teacher...but these things are too difficult to understand, I, I can't understand them!"
Paimon and Ying approached the books at the alchemy table together and tried to read the words on them.
"The redness of plants comes from the degree of compatibility of elements. According to the art of chalk..."
The two of them read the text in the book with confusion. Although they knew every word, when combined together, they were completely incomprehensible.
"So, when will Timaeus turn in his homework?"
After giving up reading the words on the tree, Pamon landed on Ying's shoulder and whispered.
"...If Mr. Abedo solves the problem of seeds, he will let me return to Mondstadt. At that time, I will be able to find time to compose love poems, right?"
Timaeus looked timidly at the wolf-tailed boy on the other side of the cave, beside the bookshelf, who was looking for some information.
"found it……"
At this moment, Albedo took out a thick book from the bookshelf, spread it out, took out a page, and waved it at Ying and Paimon.
"Records about Famas!"
