Chapter 1000: Stolen, Diligent, Reading Always New
After the joke, Albedo asked Paimon why he was so nervous.
"I see. The sights and sounds on the snowy mountain may come from animals or thieves." He said, "Things that can't be discovered by you must be very good at hiding. Everyone should be careful to avoid any losses."
He also asked Ying and Paimeng what was the matter with coming to the snow mountain?
"I want to make juice and keep the sunset fruit fresh. Sugar recommended me to come to you. I was going to find Jiang Yi, but he didn't listen to me. Then we came to the snow mountain and found Amber, met Eula, and met you on the mountain..." Paimon briefly summarized.
"Well, his thoughts and language are quite confused." Albedo stroked his chin, "Is it because the divine thunder from the other side of the sea hit his head?"
"Damn it, I mean, we came here to find you." Paimon stomped his foot.
Ying resisted the urge to laugh at Paimon and looked at Albedo. Albedo seemed to be in a good mood, which was different from the last time he saw him.
"Ignore Paimon's weird request." Ying rejected Paimon's unrealistic idea of keeping freshness. "We just came here for a walk, and then we found that the Adventurer's Association was holding an event in the snowy mountains, so we decided to help together."
She told him what had just happened at the camp at the foot of the snow-capped mountains.
"Well, you participated in the event, and then handed the work over to Amber and Eula, and ran out to be lazy." Albedo discovered the essence of the matter at a glance.
"This is clearly humility!" Paimon defended. Although he did have the idea of being lazy, who would be so stupid as to say it out loud?
"By the way, wasn't Jiang Yi walking ahead of us? He said he came to give you a gift and lend you the alchemy workshop. Where is he? Did you meet him?" She remembered something. It was clear from Albedo's expression that he did not meet Jiang Yi.
"Jiang Yi?" Albedo said, "After I finished a research project in Mondstadt, I found that some of the drawings commissioned by some friends were not finished yet, so I came to this secluded place in the snowy mountains to find inspiration and collect some raw materials."
"I was looking for ore outside just now, and I didn't meet Jiang Yi." He turned around, "Maybe he has gone to the alchemy workshop in the snow mountain. Let's go and take a look."
"Yeah!" Ying nodded.
On the way, Paimon asked enthusiastically what kind of minerals could be used to make pigments. She also wanted to learn and find inspiration.
As for learning to paint, there is no need for that. Just let Ying learn it.
When you have nothing to do at night, you can draw something memorable to capture that moment.
"Why do you want me to learn it?" Ying asked in surprise.
“What’s wrong with you learning it? You can draw me after you learn it!” Paimeng made a suggestion that he thought was very tempting, “You can also draw Jiang Yi’s emoticons on the jade slip, hehehe!”
Ying immediately raised her hand and fell into deep thought.
"Emoji package?" Albedo was confused for a moment, but he could guess the general meaning. Is it not to draw the body, but only the expression of the person?
The changes in a person's facial features can most directly reflect his or her emotions. It seems very efficient to only draw facial expressions to understand a person's emotions.
There are painting materials in the camp.
The three returned to the camp. They didn't see Jiang Yi, but they saw that the whole camp looked like it had been robbed.
"Some of my alchemy notes are missing..." Albedo checked the missing items.
"Can the Alchemy Notes be sold at a high price?" Paimon's first thought was that the thief wanted to make money.
"To outsiders, it's just a pile of waste paper, but to those who know the subject... the knowledge recorded in it is more precious than treasure." Albedo said.
"Jiang Yi stole it?" Paimeng spread his hands. "There are only adventurers, thieves and monsters on the snowy mountain. The number of people who know alchemy can be counted on one hand! You, and then Jiang Yi."
"Who is it? You are saying bad things about me?" A voice came faintly, "Paimon, you have committed the crime of slander and rumor-mongering. You should go to hell and make amends to me."
Jiang Yi emerged from the snowstorm and said, "I am going to ask my lawyer Yan Fei to handle this case."
"Paimon, everything you say next will be used as evidence in court."
"Uh--!" Paimon's face turned pale with fear, "I was just joking!"
"Pay me the compensation for the loss of my reputation, and then I will dispel the rumors about them." Jiang Yi stretched out his hand for money.
"Haha!" Ying looked at Paimeng, thinking that he was caught saying bad things about Jiang Yi again.
"Ahem, what we just did was just an inference of the crime scene." Ying felt that it would be better to protect Paimeng, otherwise he would have to pay for the loss of reputation himself.
"Jiang Yi!" Albedo turned around and looked at Jiang Yi coming from the other side of the sea with interest. "The mystery of life is reflected in you, which is difficult for me to understand."
"You want to borrow my alchemy workshop?" he asked.
"Yes, test some items I got from the earth veins." Jiang Yi said.
"Okay!" Albedo nodded.
"Next, will you stay and help watch over the camp? Ying and I will go look for the thief," he said.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of it." Jiang Yi has a lot of people with him, so he can easily guard the camp tightly.
As for why we don’t use a barrier, it’s naturally because the barrier can easily affect the observation of research results and interfere with experiments.
Albedo's experiment is to study the mysteries within the snow-capped mountains, so naturally it requires open air.
He also had no intention of changing the experimental environment of Albedo's camp.
"There are a few footprints on the snow outside the camp. Ying, let's follow them and take a look." Albedo pointed at the barely perceptible footprints in the snow.
"Albedo, I'll give you this communication jade slip. You have to teach Albedo how to use it!" Jiang Yi threw out the gift.
"I understand!" Ying watched Albedo take the jade slip and follow the footprints with Paimon.
Jiang Yi's heart was filled with desire for knowledge and power, so he sent Xue Nu and Shiranui to guard the door.
When he came to the alchemy table, he didn't rush to take out the items to study them, but read the book first.
I didn't read very advanced books, but started from the basics.
For example, "Introduction to Magic", twelfth edition.
The most authoritative guide to magic introduction in Teyvat today.
Then there is The Secret Book of West Wind.
He had actually read these books in the library, but they were always new to him and were suitable for his research on the power of wind.
Foundation is the cornerstone of strength. The correctness of the foundation determines whether you have gone astray.
Being able to spot other people's mistakes is a testament to one's own knowledge.
This edition of "Introduction to Magic" added new content in line with the development of the times and revised the typos in the eleventh edition, but it caused great controversy when it was first published.
Many people have noticed that the book was not peer reviewed before being finalized, let alone tested.
"Chapter 7: Principles of Application of Wind Element" goes against common sense, and the basic content about water element and thunder element contains many errors and omissions.
Jiang Yi did not immediately judge whether the above knowledge was right or wrong, but instead thought about it.
The second book, "Secret Codex of Favonius", comes from Lisa. It is a secret code circulated among the magic scholars of the Knights of Favonius, recording the principles and power of elements and matter.
It is inlaid with crystalline jade formed by the accumulation of elements. Only scholars who have truly mastered the mysteries of elements can refine this kind of crystalline gem.
Make this collective wisdom manifest.
"Reviewing the basic knowledge is to move to a higher level!" A green breeze surrounded Jiang Yi's hands, and elemental gems full of perfect colors appeared between his fingers.
Next book.
"The Secret Spells of the Imperial Clan".
Powerful books are magical tools in themselves. This magical tool has the power of concentration, which allows people to concentrate when casting spells and reading. It is extremely precious.
The owner of this book was a court magician who served under the nobles who once ruled Mondstadt.
It records the court magician's magical research, as well as equally detailed historical stories.
The position of the court magician is equivalent to the current Inazuma's shrine maiden, Onmyoji, who is responsible for regulating the local soil and water and repelling the invasion of monsters.
Moreover, they were also teachers of the nobles.
So the book contains a considerable amount of knowledge about history, governance, management, and culture.
Whether it is magic or other things, many contents in the book are still forward-looking today.
Jiang Yi experimented with the techniques one by one and deduced the secrets of the elements.
Hundreds of years of exquisite books, treated with wax, have withstood the aging process without corrosion or insect damage, and have been sublimated in knowledge and heritage.
The court magician forgot his responsibility to guide the nobles to do good, and instead colluded with them. After people overthrew the rule of the nobles, they were expelled, but their knowledge remained.
When you read a book, you can understand every aspect of the book both inside and outside.
One after another.
Jiang Yi read from basic reading materials to advanced reading materials, and finally recalled "The Sky Volume".
The cloud atlas records the wind and clouds in the northern sky, contains the power of the blue sky and the long wind, and symbolizes the wind dragon and its master, the god of wind.
There are one hundred thousand chants, each chant is a wisp of cloud, a wisp of wind, and each has a different name.
The cloud map gave shape to the wind, and the ode gave it a unique character.
Having seen thousands of winds and clouds, you will know thousands of winds and clouds.
Therefore, you can enter the high sky.
The piles of books are the stairs leading to the path of divinity. The power of wind stands high on them. It is gradually analyzed and turned into a stream of mysteries that makes people dizzy.
Wind is also an element that does not exist alone. It can combine with the ice element to turn into an extremely cold north wind; it can combine with the fire element to turn into a scorching gale; it can combine with the vortex tornado of the water element to turn into a tornado storm; it can also combine with the thunder element to turn into a thunderstorm hurricane that connects the sky and the earth and causes thunder.
This is the diffusion of wind.
Even, space and time.
There is also a pure wind.
So there are a thousand kinds of wind, so there are a thousand laws of wind, a thousand powers, a thousand mysteries, a thousand - true names.
And beyond these thousand, there are countless winds.
The wind cannot be seen, they let the clouds tell you their shape and the leaves tell you their arrival.
Knowledge in Jiang Yi's eyes was like the sea, and the wind and clouds were changing in his body.
The power of the wind was activated again and again, and the memories of the demon soul washed through the mind along with hatred.
Their jumbled memories are like the turning of pages in a book.
Read the book a hundred times and its meaning will become apparent.
Thousands of times, ten thousand times, a million times, tens of millions of times, changing the perception of time according to the laws of dreams.
The ability to dream is indeed a great step towards becoming the God of Wisdom.
Jiang Yi was finally able to deduce some divine knowledge about wind from his power and condense a trace of the divinity of wind.
The sound was like the murmur of someone waking up from sleep.
"If you only need one more divinity, I can tell you...what that bird is."
