Genshin Impact: I don’t have much time left, can we meet again?

Chapter 40 Hearing the Leyline Crying

The icy Longji Snow Mountain.

This place seems to be in a different world than Mondstadt at the foot of the mountain.

In recent days, the temperature in the mountains has been getting lower and lower.

Last night, there were snowflakes on the mountain for a while.

Many hunters from Qingquan Town and adventurers who entered the mountain hurried down the mountain.

This morning, it started to snow.

But the sunshine on the mountain was as cold as if it had been soaked in the cold river water, and there was no warmth.

The young man with his head tied in a twist-like pattern emerged from the tent. It was Abedo.

Those blue-green eyes were calm, quiet, and a little confused.

The chimney protruded from the hole on the top of the tent, and the faint black gas caused by coke was quickly blown away in the wind and snow.

"Look at the wind direction, it will snow tonight..."

Abedo shook the snowflakes off his shoulders and murmured:

"There are strange fluctuations in the ground veins near Longji Snow, which affects the local climate of the snow mountain. But why is this happening?"

"It's because, wuwu..."

There was a choking sound in the tent.

The little girl wearing a red beret rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked out of the tent sadly. She said with tears in her eyes: "Mr. Su Luo... he is about to... die!"

"Kelly, wake up."

Abedo knelt down, fastened the buttons on Keli's clothes, and held her in his arms.

Keli's warm tears flowed down his neck.

It was warm at first and a little itchy.

For a moment, it turned into a trace of coldness, crawling on the skin.

After the death of Master and Alice, Keli became his dependent relative.

No matter where he goes, he will take Kelly with him.

Of course, Keli also likes to come to the mountain to find him from time to time——

Although a big reason is that Captain Qin always puts her in solitary confinement because of Keli.

"Brother Abedo, my mother used to take Keli to play in the snowy mountains."

When the word "mom" was mentioned, Xiao Keli's words were filled with pride.

As she grew older, she gained a richer understanding of her mother's power.

Almost every night before going to bed, she would ask Albedo to read her the Teyvat Tour Guide.

She told Albedo that when she grows up, she will become a great traveler like her mother.

"Mom said that the climate of Longji Snow Mountain is very sensitive to the earth's veins. If the power of the earth's veins changes, the climate of the Snow Mountain will change."

Aunt Alice's research on earth veins is second to none in the entire Teyvat continent.

She said this, and it was basically certain that the recent abnormal climate changes in the snowy mountains were due to the disorder in the power of the earth veins.

This is also in line with Abedo’s previous speculation.

"But... woo..."

Keli buried her little head on Albedo's shoulder.

"Keli knows that the flow of the earth's veins has changed because brother Su Luo is about to... die."

Abedo asked her: "Why."

"After Brother Su Luo came to Mondstadt, Keli often had strange dreams every night when she went to bed. In her dreams, those elemental powers were crying."

Keli inherited her mother's powerful gift of elemental power.

Before the Heavenly Law was overthrown, at a very young age, Keli obtained the Eye of God that countless people longed for. Therefore, she was regarded by everyone as the darling of the elemental power.

Captain Qin usually had strict requirements on her. On the one hand, he was entrusted by Alice, and on the other hand, he wanted to train Keli and urge her not to waste her talent.

The scene Keli saw in her dream may be caused by her terrifying elemental power talent, which sensed abnormal changes in the earth's veins.

Although the things in dreams are often illusory, one thing is certain -

Mr. Su Luo can indeed affect the earth's veins.

"The Savior of Teyvat Continent", this title is not meant to be flattering.In the decisive battle three years ago, Mr. Su Luo seemed to be recognized by the will of the Teyvat continent, and the elemental power of the entire continent converged on him.

Now, Mr. Soulo is about to die.

There is a high possibility that the power of the earth's veins will cry for him.

A person like Mr. Su Luo is destined to be a great and immortal legend.

Born ordinary, in the end he transcended the gods.

Even if the whole world mourns for him, what's wrong?

Abedo held Keli quietly and comforted her for a long time before Keli's choking voice stopped.

Her eyes were red from crying, and there were crystal tears on her eyelashes.

"Brother Abedo, can the bionic doll you made last night save brother Su Luo?"

The idea of ​​the bionic doll was actually proposed by Keli.

In Keli's opinion, as long as Su Luo is given a new body, he can get well again and regain his former invincible demeanor.

save?
Hearing this word, Abedo fell silent for a moment.

He couldn't bear to tell Kelly the truth.

Mr. Sulo's death was inevitable.

He agreed to make a doll just to fulfill her little wish.

The fact is just like what Lord Su Luo said in response to Yura in the Knights of the West Wind——

He himself is the best doctor in the continent of Teyvat.

No one can save him except himself.

The bionic doll created by alchemy is enough to contain the souls and consciousness of the Seven Gods, but it is ineffective against Mr. Su Luo.

This has nothing to do with the level and technique of alchemy, but only the physical condition of Mr. Su Luo.

Just like the day before yesterday.

Master Fengshen sent an order to send sugar to Barbara to help Mr. Su Luo reduce his fever. At the same time, Master Fengshen also said that Mr. Su Luo's body and soul were decaying at the same time.

That is an irreversible process.

"Brother Abedo...why don't you speak?"

Kelly's voice sounded in her ears again.

Abedo recovered from his contemplation and explained casually: "I was a little tired from making bionic dolls last night."

"Really?" Keli stared into his eyes, "Why are there tears in your eyes?"

Curiosity and fear——

Keli's heart was filled with two emotions at the same time.

She had never seen Abedo cry before, and this was her first time, so she was full of curiosity.

Abedo did not answer her question directly and shed tears, which indicates that the bionic doll may not be able to save Mr. Su Luo.

What she feared and feared the most was exactly this outcome.

"Tears?"

Abedo was stunned.

He turned back and took out a small mirror from the tent and looked at himself in the mirror.

In the mirror, there were a few snowflakes falling on his hair.

In addition, there were a few drops of clear liquid hanging from the corners of his eyes, which was cleaner than the melted water of snowflakes.

"Is this... a by-product of human grief?"

Abedo murmured to himself in disbelief: "The feeling of sadness just now...is what the teacher called tears?"

After the snow, the mountains and fields are peaceful.

Only snowflakes were falling from a nearby branch.

Abedo looked up at the sky and said silently in his heart:
"Teacher, you once said that when I cry one day, I will be a real human being."

"I...will cry."
