Chapter 254 Inferior Product?
Chapter 254 Inferior Product?
(Brain Twitch typed a few more words in the last chapter, and they have been changed. The ones with the imprint are the real Abedo, and the ones without the imprint are the fake Abedo.)
Following the footprints, Abedo and the traveler walked towards the door.
Along the way, they wiped out several Qiuqiu people's camps guarding the treasure chests. When they walked up to the mountainside, they found that the footprints extended into a cave.
"Did you go to the cave? You can't escape, you wicked thief!"
Pai Meng said in a righteous and stern manner.
But just as the traveler was about to enter, he was stopped by Abedo.
"Wait, traveler, can I trouble you to stay here and guard the entrance of the cave?"
"This cave has two exits, and there is a shortcut inside. I may be able to reach the other exit before him."
"In this way, he will have nowhere to escape."
[So that's it, I understand. 】
Abedo nodded.
"In that case, I will trouble you."
After speaking, he walked into the cave.
The Traveler and Paimon stood guard outside the cave.
But not long after, Abedo came out again.
Paimon approached suspiciously and asked.
"Huh? Abedo, why did you come out here? Did you find the prisoner?"
Kaiya took a closer look at 093.
"There is no mark on the neck.
"Sure enough, as Wendy said, there really is a fake Abedo on the snow mountain."
When the fake Abedo saw the two of them, he didn't show any surprise, but pretended to be similar to the main body and spoke in a tone of voice.
"Sorry, I didn't catch up. The speed of the other party seems to be faster than I thought."
【It doesn't matter. 】
Travelers feel nothing.
On the contrary, Paimon looked very angry.
"Oh! It took so long. If it weren't for the thief, travelers would have learned to draw."
"It's all to blame on that guy!"
Fake Abedo smiled.
"Yeah, it's all because of that guy."
"By the way, notes are very important to me. Let's look for them along the way. Maybe where did the other party throw them?"
"no problem."
After finishing speaking, little Paimon seemed to think of something again.
"By the way, do you want to choose the star silver mine you just mined here and throw away the useless ones?"
"Defective ores can only be made into inferior pigments, and the luster and brightness of these ores are not good enough, so they are useless at all, and it is a waste of effort to bring them back."
"Why don't you just throw it here?"
What Paimon said seemed to have stepped on the sore spot of fake Abedo.
Every time Paimon said a word, his face became indistinguishably gloomy.
In the end, he sighed and managed to regain his composure.
"Yeah, people are very realistic creatures, they only like good things. Once they learn to distinguish between good and bad things, they can't help but keep comparing them in their hearts."
"Useless stuff.....shouldn't have been kept in the first place!"
When he said this, the fake Abedo unconsciously clenched his fist with his right hand.
"Um?"
Rosalia is already good at observing words and expressions, not to mention the fake Abedo's expression is hardly concealed.
So she quickly found out that something was wrong, and looked at the other party up and down.
"This guy, Paimeng was clearly talking about ores and pigments just now, but his reaction was a bit unexpected.
"He seems to be particularly sensitive to the words [defective] and [inferior product]."
"So, what does this mean?" Kaia asked.
Rosalia blinked.
"People are always very sensitive to their own shortcomings or strengths.
"As long as you hear related words, even if you are not talking about yourself, you will always feel that the other party is implying your own shortcomings or advantages."
"So I always feel inexplicable anger and joy when I touch the corresponding vocabulary."
"The emotion he showed was blatant anger."
"So, this fake Abedo may have certain aspects (aeei) that can be greatly related to [defective products] or [inferior products]."
"It is even possible that he himself is another [inferior version of Abedo].
"That's why Paimon's emotions fluctuated so much when he said he wanted to throw away the low-quality ore."
Diluc frowned.
"You mean, he may be a product of the same alchemy as Abedo?"
"It's possible." Rosalia nodded.
Kaya said with a "hiss" and frowned.
"If that's the case, then we don't find anything wrong and it makes sense."
"Two people have the same body, the same appearance, and the same breath, it's normal if you can't find it.
"Then he stole Abedo's alchemy notes because he wanted to remake himself?"
"Want to push yourself further?"
"It's possible." Di Luke agreed with Kaiya once in a while.
The three of them wanted to ask Wendy's opinion, but after taking a look, they found that he fell asleep on the ground at some point.
Helpless, can only give up these two ideas.
While several people were discussing, a familiar cry for help suddenly came from the side.
"Help!"
"Help!!!"
"Is anyone around here?"
The three of them tensed instantly, thinking that they were about to enter a battle.
But the next moment, Di Luke listened attentively, made a little identification, and recognized the owner of the voice.
"The voice seems to be.....Bennett?"
"Oh, Bennett, he must have fallen into some trap again.
Both Kaia and Rosalia relaxed when they heard it was Bennett.
"It's him, it's all right."
But before a few people had time to tease, when they turned their heads, the fake Abedo who was standing next to the traveler had disappeared.
It seems that they should have found an opportunity to escape in the plot.
After hesitating for a moment, they decided to follow the plot first.....
Just as Rosalia was struggling with whether she should go with Barbatos on her back or wake him up first.
Di Luke came over.
"It's not that troublesome."
He grabbed the cloak behind Wendy, then his feet sank, and with a sudden force, Wendy was thrown to the frozen lake in front of him.
poof!!
The not-too-thick ice layer broke through instantly, and the bitingly cold ice water instantly wrapped Wendy.
The next moment...Wendy woke up with a start, and immediately regained her ability to move.
"Wow!! So cold! So cold! So cold!!"
Seeing this, Di Luke clapped his palms and said calmly.
"Okay, let's go."
