Chapter 406: The Child of Bai Luo
As for the alchemy notes, Bai Luo specifically had Vadim hide them in a concealed location.
He even especially instructed him that if the alchemist from Mondstadt came looking for them, he should simply say Bai Luo wasn’t around.
Looking at the books and notes his subordinates had hauled back, Vadim’s face looked utterly despairing.
He understood very clearly that the one who would ultimately suffer the alchemist’s wrath definitely would not be the Harbinger.
It would be him.
Wasn’t the agreement that no trouble would be caused?
Wasn’t he supposedly just delivering a message?
Could it be that the alchemist had been so reluctant to part with him that he gifted him all these books before leaving?
But outwardly, Vadim naturally didn’t dare say any of this.
He could only force a smile while ordering his men to hide the notes away.
What else could he do?
The other party was his superior, after all.
After dealing with the alchemy notes, Bai Luo returned to his tent.
Upon entering, he discovered that the person he had brought back from Durin’s heart was still deeply unconscious, while the clothes the Fatui had prepared for him were neatly placed nearby.
Which made sense, after all, even that sly fox Yae Miko had remained unconscious for a full day after eating it, let alone this young one.
Lifting the blanket aside, Bai Luo picked up the Fatui uniform nearby and began dressing him.
After all, he couldn’t exactly let the person walk around naked.
But halfway through dressing him, a casual glance caused Bai Luo to freeze.
"...What the hell?"
Was it because of a gender issue?
Yes and no.
The reason Bai Luo had assumed this person was a boy was because of the connection with Albedo, combined with the influence of the game.
But now it seemed... this person was not actually male.
Why say that?
Because the person wasn’t female either.
Like one of those cheap dolls sold in stores for a few dozen mora, the body was completely flat.
Bai Luo even touched experimentally to confirm.
There was really nothing there.
After hesitating for a moment, he continued helping the person put on clothes.
Remember the story mentioned before?
This youth had been abandoned by "Gold" as a defective failure.
Could this so-called "defect" refer to that?
No... Bai Luo felt it could not be that simple.
Thinking back to the three Albedos in the original story, Bai Luo suddenly had a bold idea.
After all, Albedo himself had once said that this "defective product" had changed his face and even his body shape to become identical to Albedo.
He had also found a mimicry-capable snow mountain plant and modified it with dragon blood and alchemy.
Did this mean that after this artificial human had been created, no gender had been assigned before "Gold" discarded them?
And now, through alchemy, this artificial being could potentially choose an appropriate gender for themselves? frёewebnoѵēl.com
Bai Luo felt this was entirely possible.
After all, very few people would willingly waste valuable materials and effort on a "defective product."
After leaving the Fatui camp with the unconscious artificial human, Bai Luo arrived at the hidden storage location for the books under Vadim’s guidance.
After settling the person down, Bai Luo picked up one of the books nearby and began carefully studying it.
Alchemy was a discipline that could be learned even without a Vision.
Although, without Albedo’s guidance, much of it still sounded incomprehensible to him, the foundational knowledge the Doctor had previously given him allowed him to at least understand some of the simpler concepts.
After conducting a few basic experiments, he had already become capable of converting crystals of different elemental properties.
While Bai Luo was fully immersed in studying the notes in his hands, movement suddenly came from nearby.
The abandoned "defective product" had awakened.
Sitting up with a confused expression, the youth instinctively looked around.
Then he noticed Bai Luo nearby.
The moment he saw Bai Luo, he lunged forward, swinging a fist the size of a sandbag straight toward Bai Luo’s face.
But to his surprise, his punch passed directly through Bai Luo’s body.
Before he could even stand back up after crashing to the ground, someone grabbed the back of his neck from behind.
The familiar sequence of events made him instinctively cover his own mouth.
Unexpectedly, what was placed before him this time was not one of those deceptively sweet-looking fruits, but a half-finished bowl of porridge.
It’s leftovers from Bai Luo.
Who knew why the guy had chosen to wake up at this exact moment? Bai Luo hadn’t prepared any food at all.
"Can you still speak?"
The fact that this person could learn Albedo’s alchemy in an extremely short period of time indicated one of two things:
Either his intelligence far surpassed ordinary people, or "Gold" had inherently implanted a certain degree of alchemical knowledge into these artificial humans during their creation.
Either way, the most urgent matter right now was establishing communication.
"..."
The youth looked at Bai Luo, then at the porridge being offered to him. He swallowed hard, but still said nothing.
Which made sense.
After sleeping within a dragon’s belly for so long, the fact that he could still walk normally was already extraordinary enough.
If he could also speak fluently right away, that would have been even stranger.
"Go ahead and eat. There’s nothing wrong with the porridge."
Bai Luo pushed the bowl slightly closer to him, then added more firewood to the campfire and took out some beast meat.
Under normal circumstances, someone in his condition shouldn’t eat meat immediately.
Liquid food was the best option.
But this artificial human clearly wasn’t an ordinary person.
Last time, an ultra-sour Sunsettia had only knocked him unconscious for a few days.
Surely he could handle this as well.
Carefully, the youth dipped a finger into the thick liquid and gently brought it to his mouth.
After realizing the porridge didn’t contain that strange, horrifying sourness and instead carried a faint sweetness, he finally picked up the bowl and gulped it down noisily.
Eating was one of the abilities granted to him by the mother who had created him.
But ever since his birth, he had been thrown into the dragon’s belly.
This was his first time actually eating food.
Hm?
You ask about the Sunsettia?
Did that even count as food?
"Eat... eat..."
The sensation of hunger reignited his long-dormant language functions.
After licking the bowl completely clean, he looked toward Bai Luo again, longing written all over his face.
"Wait a moment. You should know raw meat can’t be eaten."
"Raw... meat..."
Holding the bowl Bai Luo had handed him, he crawled closer beside Bai Luo, his eyes filled with hope as he stared at the fragrant roasted meat above the fire.
He looked just like an innocent infant unfamiliar with the world.
At the beginning of life, human nature is good.
As for artificially created lifeforms, Bai Luo didn’t know whether their nature was inherently good or evil.
But someone who had suffered unfair treatment from the moment of birth would naturally become twisted inside after seeing Albedo—another "creation of Gold"—living a completely different life.
However...
What if someone guided him down another path instead?
Would his personality, his fate, even his entire life change as a result?
Bai Luo found the idea extremely interesting.
