The girl staggered, feeling someone supporting her, and she tried hard to focus her eyes.

In fact, there is no need to focus, the flamboyant red hair that does not match the owner has already announced the identity of the visitor.

"Diluc...sir?"

The girl waved her bloody palm at Diluc: "Why are you here?"

"I'm responsible for patrolling this area."

Hearing the respectful but distant address, Diluc couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but he still grabbed the girl's palm and wrapped the wound with the handkerchief he brought with him.

"What are you doing?"

"Look."

The girl pointed to the disappeared siltation, leaving only shallow traces on the ground.

"I think I have a solution to all this."

"I'm going to the next siltation point."

The girl's complexion was not good, and Diluc even suspected that she would fall if he let go of his hand.

"No."

Realizing that his tone was too harsh, Diluc tried to soften his voice: "You are in a very wrong state now..."

"I can, Master Diluc."

The girl was a little anxious, her expression was like a kitten showing its fangs, and she purred from her throat to threaten others.

"……I go with you."

The girl felt as if all her senses were fogged up, and even Diluc's voice became unreal.

The monsters in this area were almost cleared by Diluc, so Diluc almost watched the girl constantly tearing open the wounds on her palms and pouring blood onto the ferocious siltation.

He couldn't see the purple light emitted by the siltation penetrate into the girl's body, he could only find that the girl's condition was getting worse and worse.

"Is this the last siltation point in this area?"

The girl wanted to stand up, but her whole body felt weak and she fell to her knees again.

Diluc, who had always kept his distance, walked to the girl's side in a few steps. With dark eyes, he reached out his hand and carefully and reverently picked up the fallen girl.

"Yes, I will take you back."

The girl's body temperature was already very low. The moment he picked her up, Diluc even wondered if he was holding a piece of ice.

"cough--"

The girl suddenly covered her mouth, but the scarlet oozing out from between her fingers was particularly eye-catching.

Diluc hugged the girl tightly and rushed towards the knights as quickly as possible.

"Diluc..."

"Thank you."

The girl's voice was almost inaudible, and she wasn't sure whether Diluc heard it, but her spirit could no longer support her from being awake.

Diluc didn't hear it.

It doesn't matter, there are always people who meet just to miss it.

"Master Diluc."

Halfway through, Diluc met Albedo who was coming. His goal was extremely clear, which was for the girl in his arms.

"what happened?"

Abedo stretched out his hand very naturally - asking for the girl in Diluc's arms.

Diluc tightened his arms and finally handed the girl over.

"She put blood on the siltation."

"……it works."

Feeling the girl's frighteningly low body temperature, Albedo's expression darkened.

What a nonsense.

"Thank you, Master Diluc. I have to take her back."

"Thank you for bringing her to me, please."

Even though he was holding the girl in his arms, his anxious and worried expression was palpable. Albedo's etiquette was still too considerate to fault. On the contrary, Diluc's usually calm mask seemed to have cracks.

"In addition, please keep today's matters confidential."

"it is good."

Watching the two of them go away, Diluc stared at his hands in despair.

She'll be fine, right?

"Mr. Abedo, I have done all the treatments I can, but..."

Barbara's face was full of guilt, and her voice even had a trembling cry.

Abedo looked at the pale girl and placed a bottle of medicine on the bedside.

"Miss Barbara, could you please take care of her? I'll go to the laboratory. You can feed her this first."

"Leave it to me, don't worry!"

He came in a hurry, and almost all the experimental materials were on the snowy mountains. Albedo returned to the laboratory without having time to think too much.

"Use blood...to eliminate stasis?"

Abedo poured some of the blood he had taken out earlier onto the sludge and plugged the lid. He saw that the sludge dissipated quickly at first, but then accumulated again after a while.

"hateful……"

Abedo rarely felt irritated, and for the first time he wanted to spurn his own incompetence.

"Again."

Same result.

Variable, is it a wound?

Abedo tried to cut open his palm, dripped the girl's blood again, and then applied the bottle mouth to his wound.

It stings at first, then swells and becomes hot, but eventually, siltation still appears at the bottom of the bottle.

"So, something has entered her body?"

Abedo suddenly became enlightened.

The girl proposed to him two months ago, when the siltation first appeared——

She also has ley line energy in her body.

The essence of siltation is the leyline energy that is blocked in one place and does not flow. In other words, she has absorbed that part of the energy.

Abedo breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he has a solution.

By the time Albedo returned to the church with the potion, it was already late at night, and the girl woke up at some point, sat up, and looked out the window calmly.

She seemed to be the darling of the moonlight. Even if the silky moonlight passed through her hair, it could only serve as a foil for her. Her hair was silvery white, like rime hanging on the branches in an extremely cold place, hanging down on her hair. There was a gentle coolness on his face.

She is like a painting.

Abedo just stood at the door and watched quietly - he had no pen and paper at hand, and just wanted to remember this scene as firmly as possible.

"Albedo?"

The painting moved.

The gentle and fragile voice flowed along the moon, making Abedo wake up from a dream.

Even though the girl was already awake, Albedo unconsciously walked lightly and walked to the girl's bed.

"Well, are you feeling better? I made some medicine."

The girl smiled brightly: "It's much better. The emergency medicine Albedo left behind is very useful."

As if to praise him, Albedo gently rubbed the girl's head, and then opened the potion: "This can help you regulate the energy in your body."

"It will be a bit unpleasant to drink. I added some sweet flowers."

"Thank you, Teacher Abedo."

The girl took the potion, sniffed it gently, wrinkled her nose, and drank it all in one gulp: "Teacher Abedo..."

"Ok?"

Abedo took the empty bottle and sat down by the bed: "What's wrong?"

The girl lowered her head, like a child who is always ready to be scolded: "I'm sorry...I made my own decision, which made everyone worry and caused you a lot of trouble."

"I……"

"Ha," Albedo chuckled, and then lightly flicked the girl's head, "You are just assisting me in the experiment, you are not selling yourself to me. You have the right to make your own decisions, so what's the point of making your own decisions? Woolen cloth?"

"But -" Abedo held the girl's face with both hands, "I still hope that before you make any decision, you must think through the consequences and carefully estimate the range of what you can bear."

"You're like this today...I'm worried."

There was a bit of vulnerability in Abedo's serious expression, and the girl who had just been relieved felt a little guilty again.

Gently grab Albedo's hand, then put his face close to the palm of his hand and rub it gently.

This was a gesture of weakness and relief - although Abedo had gloves on his hands, the girl didn't know if Abedo could feel her apology.

"I have thought about the consequences."

"My body is actually a container of energy, and that energy is not clean either."

"If I keep absorbing it, my body may not be able to withstand the energy and get damaged, or it may be contaminated by the energy and then get damaged again."

The girl's voice was very soft, like the wings of a butterfly trembling gently in the night breeze.

"I don't know where my limit is, but at that time, I just wanted to protect everything in Mondstadt."

"This place... is so good."
