Rhine opened his eyes again. The soft sunlight had already spread to every corner of Mond, and was wandering in the streets with the gentle morning breeze.

"Good morning, dear Captain Qin."

After waking up, Rhine went straight to the Knights.

"It's Rhine."

Qin was sitting behind the desk in the head's office, her eyes full of fatigue. It was unclear whether it was because she didn't get enough rest last night or she hadn't slept all night.

"I didn't expect you to come to the Knights Templar so early in the morning. Is there something wrong?" Qin put down the quill in her hand and asked with concern.

Mr. Albedo, the chief alchemist of their Knights Temperance, also came to the Knights Temperance early in the morning and gave Jean a bottle of alchemical potion that was much more powerful than coffee in refreshing his mind.

Although it doesn't taste as good as coffee.

"I'm here to find Albedo."

Rhine raised the Mora meat in his hand and said, "Would you like one?"

Although Mora meat is a specialty of Liyue, it is natural that big cities like Mondstadt also sell this kind of food.

However, the taste may have been modified according to Mond's taste, and there is no Mora logo printed on the bread.

Qin tactfully rejected Rhine's proposal.

Although such a high-calorie food is delicious, it is generally not among her breakfast choices.

After leaving the captain's office, Rhine went straight to the library of the Knights of Tu.

After greeting Lisa who woke up early for some reason, and having his suggestion to taste Mora meat rejected again, Rhine finally met Albedo.

A platinum-haired boy in a white robe sat in a corner of the library, writing obscure alchemy notes. The sunlight shone on his face, making his deep blue eyes shine slightly.

"There's an old saying in Liyue: One day without seeing you feels like three years have passed."

Rhine walked around behind Albedo and finally greeted him after he finished writing a long note.

"You came."

Albedo turned to look at the person who came, only to find that Rhine was looking at his alchemy notes.

"This is the textbook I wrote for Timaeus. Of course, it's only a small part, but it's enough for him to study for a while. If you're interested, you can also study it."

Albedo flexed his fingers. Although alchemy could help him complete most of the actions in daily life, he occasionally liked to do things the normal way.

For example, pick up a pen to draw or write.

Rhine shook his head.

He recognized all the words in the notes, but once they were put together by Albedo, they seemed to become an extremely niche language that was difficult for him to understand.

At least that's the case for Rhine.

Rhine took out the Heart of God, placed it on the table, and said with a smile: "I still prefer to learn alchemy in a simpler way."

Alchemy should be a kind of knowledge, but if we consider its function, it is not too shabby to call it a kind of power.

But for Rhine, who doesn't want to use his brain, alchemy can only be the second option.

"Okay, let's do it here."

Albedo nodded and waved his fingers lightly, and pieces of materials that Rhine had never seen before appeared on the desk.

"Doing it in the library? Isn't that a bit too exciting?"

Rhine raised an eyebrow.

What if there’s some big noise in the library and the books stored there are damaged? Don’t forget, Lisa is here too.

If anything unexpected happened, Lisa would definitely not forgive them.

"Don't worry, there won't be any problem. Just let me guide you."

Albedo waved his hand.

He knew what Rhine was worried about, but before he performed alchemy, he had already set up restrictions around him, so that the inside and outside of the restrictions would not affect each other.

Therefore, for Albedo, an experienced alchemist, the special nature of the venue is unnecessary for this level of alchemy.

Besides, he had other things to deal with later and had no time to look for a suitable place.

Not to mention that some folk alchemists have to take a bath and change clothes before conducting experiments.

The platinum-colored wall of light surrounded the two of them, isolating the space of the library and forming an absolutely safe alchemical barrier.

Rays of light gathered together and transformed into alchemical materials that filled the desk.

As the last piece of material that looked like a sweet flower made of diamonds appeared, a strong blue light suddenly erupted with Rhine and Albedo as the center.

When the light faded, Rhine discovered that it was actually the Heart of God floating between the two of them.

The alchemical materials on the desk shattered, half of them turned into black magazines, falling on the table like dust, and the other half turned into solid golden lines, swimming around the Heart of God, almost wrapping it into a golden sphere.

"Is alchemy so cool?"

Rhine stared at the scene in front of him. Under the guidance of such a powerful alchemist as Albedo, even the operation of alchemy became a dazzling scenery.

The golden lines revolved around the Heart of God. Rhine could only guess based on his limited knowledge that it should be the essence of those materials.

Finally, the golden lines wandering around the Heart of God gathered together and attached to the Heart of God. Like golden paint, Albedo dyed the Heart of God golden stroke by stroke.

"Don't move." Albedo reminded.

The golden Heart of God flew to Rhine's forehead and lightly touched it.

The gold on the Heart of God was stripped off and written into scattered runes, which entered Rhine's skin from his forehead and shuttled across his body.

That is the key to unlock the shackles.

At this moment, Rhine felt as if a feather soaked in mint juice was wiping his whole body, causing a slight itchy and cool feeling.

This was just the feeling of Rhine's body. At the same time, his mind gradually became clearer, and it seemed that many memories that did not belong to him had been added. They were like the memories when waking up from a dream, as if they could be grasped in an instant, but were so hazy that it seemed as if they could never be recalled.

When the last touch of gold on the Heart of God flowed into Rhine's body, Albedo reached out and grabbed the Heart of God, looking at Rhine calmly.

"How is it?" Albedo asked.

Although with his ability, as long as he knew the process, there would be no problem even if it was his first time doing the alchemy ritual, he still asked subconsciously.

Rhine was the only exception among Rhinedort's alchemical creations. Even though its formation was far from the result she wanted, it was not destroyed by her.

Rhinedort did spend a lot of effort in creating Rhine, as if he wanted to create an assistant to a top alchemist.

Unfortunately, Rhinedort's expectations were dashed, and the alchemical life without thoughts was just a hollow puppet.

But now Rhine not only has thoughts, but also has the alchemical property engraved in his body by Rhinedort.

Albedo looked at Rhine in front of him. Although he was not jealous, he felt a little sad that he had never been treated like this. He didn't know what those defective products would think if they saw the person in front of him.

"Well, I feel fine."

Rhine rubbed his forehead. It seemed that there were many more things in his mind, but he couldn't remember them clearly.

Albedo put one hand on Rhine's forehead and stroked Rhine's hand with the other hand: "Do you still remember what Cecilia Flower looks like? Think about it carefully."

Rhine recalled the appearance of Cecilia flowers, pale green and yellow petals, brown stamens...

The image of the flowers in his mind became clearer. Rhine could even see a Cecilia flower growing on the edge of a cliff. Its leaves swayed in the breeze, and even the fine hairs on the petals were clearly visible.

Under Albedo's deliberate guidance, a warm current passed through Rhine's palm, and a leafless Cecilia flower, blooming alone on its stem, condensed in Rhine's hand.

Rhine's eyes widened: "Fuck!"

Did it work? !

Without paying attention to Rhine's untimely sigh, Albedo said softly: "This is the result of my personal guidance. If you try it alone, you can only create a completely lifeless entity.

Of course, if you don’t learn more later, this simple life creation should be your limit.”
