Although they had already found the real Albedo and temporarily driven away Albetwo, Su Yuan still had many doubts in his heart at this moment.
For example, how did that Albetwo, who disguised himself as Albedo, know so much about Klee?
Could it be that, like the little Dendro Archon Nahida, he could read minds?
And also, why, after being exposed, did Albetwo not choose to continue fighting but instead fled right away?
Based on earlier assumptions, wasn't Albetwo supposed to already be controlled by the Eerie force, possessing overwhelming combat power?
If he properly used the power of the Eerie, directly suppressing everyone's ability to move and then instantly wiping them out, that shouldn't have been difficult at all, right?
Most importantly—what exactly was Albetwo's goal?
If his purpose was only to completely kill Albedo and then replace him, after all these days, with his Eerie-transformed strength, could he really not accomplish that?
And why did he kill Durin?
Durin only had a heart barely still beating, posing no real threat at all…
Su Yuan felt that Albetwo still carried far too many secrets, waiting for everyone to uncover.
"Everyone, Dragonspine is Albetwo's home ground. These days I have been trying to track his whereabouts, but to no avail."
At this moment, Albedo suddenly spoke up:
"Today, it was only because of your arrival that I finally got to face Albetwo."
"Given the current situation, and in my judgment, it would be better for us to return to Mondstadt first."
"After all, if Albetwo is determined to remain hidden, and with his ability to change his appearance, then searching for him in the vastness of Dragonspine would no doubt be like looking for a needle in a haystack."
Hearing this, Su Yuan frowned slightly.
He couldn't help but feel that something wasn't quite right…
Normally, when faced with a hidden threat, shouldn't one go all out to eliminate it?
Why then, was Albedo suggesting they return to Mondstadt?
In Su Yuan's impression, Albedo wasn't the type of person who would casually give up just because something was difficult.
On the contrary, as an alchemist, Albedo should be the kind who fears no hardship and pursues the matter until he finds a solution, right?
Su Yuan suddenly had a strange feeling—as if this Albedo had just been waiting for them to come to Dragonspine, find him, and then head back to Mondstadt together.
"Mm…" Hearing Albedo say this, Klee also responded thoughtfully, "Although our main purpose in coming to Dragonspine this time was to find Brother Albedo and figure out what happened here…
But when we passed by the camp earlier, we promised Joel that we'd find his father, Mr. Joserf…"
"Even though that Mr. Joserf turned out to be Albetwo in disguise, Master Jean told me that if you promise someone something, you must make sure to keep it!"
"Yes." Eula also spoke up.
"Since we've come to the mountain and now know about Albetwo, how could we just ignore this threat and let it be?"
"If we don't eliminate this hidden danger, even if we return to Mondstadt, I won't be able to sleep peacefully!"
Hearing their replies, Albedo only smiled faintly and said, "Very well. I don't particularly mind myself—it's just that I was worried you might not be able to endure the harsh cold of Dragonspine."
"Since you all feel that we shouldn't return to Mondstadt for now but instead continue searching for Albetwo, then let's go with your judgment."
After that, the group searched Dragonspine together, trying to find any trace of Albetwo.
But after searching for a long time, they still found nothing, and the sky gradually grew dark.
"Everyone, since the sky is getting darker, let's end today's search here!"
Looking at the dimming sky, Albedo suggested:
"Let's gather some ingredients, then head back to my research outpost to light a fire for warmth—and perhaps have a barbecue."
"Eh! Barbecue tonight?" Klee instantly perked up with interest.
She glanced at the nearby frozen lake and asked Albedo: "Brother Albedo, can I go fish-blasting now? Just in time—tonight I want to treat everyone to grilled fish!"
"Of course, Klee." Albedo nodded with a smile, but didn't forget to remind her: "Be careful when blasting fish, Klee. Don't fall into the ice hole."
"Once you accidentally fall in, in such cold weather and icy water, you'll catch a cold very easily!"
"If I don't take good care of you, Master Jean will definitely hold me accountable!"
"Don't worry, Brother Albedo! When it comes to this, I'm a veteran!"
Klee blinked, gave Albedo a big thumbs-up, and declared with full confidence:
"No one—knows more about fish blasting—than me!"
Saying this, Klee skipped her way right to the center of the frozen lake.
With precise control of her Pyro abilities, she cut open the ice, made a huge hole, and tossed in a bunch of her Jumpty Dumpties before hurrying back to shore.
A deafening boom followed.
Water shot high into the air from the hole, flinging plenty of plump fish out of the lake.
Some fish were outright blasted out, while others were stunned by the shockwaves.
As the spray subsided, they slowly floated to the surface.
"Hooray, it's a huge catch!!!" Klee exclaimed in delight.
"Maybe because I've never blasted fish here before, the fish here are super abundant!"
Hearing this, Su Yuan couldn't help but quietly complain in his heart: So, Klee, you actually do realize that the sudden disappearance of fish in some places… has something to do with you, huh?
After that, the group carried their bountiful haul of fish back to Albedo's research outpost.
They built a campfire, warmed themselves up, and enjoyed a delicious grilled-fish meal.
Su Yuan was genuinely surprised—Klee's grilling skills were actually excellent!
So practiced and natural… it showed just how many fish she had blown up and cooked before.
No wonder Jean often got headaches over this.
Once everyone was full and satisfied, Albedo suggested, "Everyone, you can rest here in my research outpost tonight. Tomorrow, we'll continue searching for Albetwo's traces."
"I'll keep watch tonight, so all of you can rest easy."
Hearing this, Su Yuan thought for a moment before replying, "Albedo, the one who truly needs a good rest should be you. After all, you've been chasing Albetwo's trail in the snowy mountains for days—you must be exhausted, right?"
"As for the night watch, there's no need for you to shoulder all of it alone… The Traveler, Eula, and I can take turns keeping watch."
