Chapter 114

"Wow, a fried giant lizard!" Klee looked at Mu Yang with eyes shining with excitement.

She had secretly run off to Liyue to fry giant lizards before, but she was afraid of being discovered by Acting Grand Master Jean. If it were this big brother, surely Acting Grand Master Jean wouldn't refuse, right?

Klee looked at Jean with eyes full of expectation.

Seeing this, Jean gave a wry smile: "Klee, if you want to go to Liyue, you can follow Mr. Mu Yang there for a while to play, but you must not mess around or cause trouble for Mr. Mu Yang!"

"Klee understands! Setting off cannons in the city means reporting to the solitary confinement room, bombs hurting people means Jean comes knocking, and setting fire to the mountains means Klee is finished!" Klee nodded repeatedly. Being able to go to Liyue openly and honestly was simply too wonderful.

Besides, Acting Grand Master Jean hadn't let her go out for the past few days.

If Jean hadn't had her making special bombs these past few days, Klee would have been bored to death!

"But come to think of it, the high command of the Knights of Favonius doesn't seem to be limited to just these few, right?"

"What about Kaeya and Amber?" Mu Yang asked with some curiosity.

He had been in Mondstadt for so many days, yet it seemed Mu Yang hadn't seen Kaeya or Amber even once.

It couldn't be that these two weren't in Jean's inner circle, that was impossible!

Although Amber, the Outrider, was a bit of a slacker, she was the only Outrider left.

But Amber could also be considered one of Jean's confidants.

The same went for Kaeya, the Cavalry Captain. Why the Cavalry Captain had no horse was a matter for debate, and while he liked to slack off and fish in troubled waters, Kaeya was actually quite diligent at critical moments.

"Amber and Kaeya are currently patrolling the city defenses!" Mentioning Kaeya, a flash of embarrassment crossed Jean's face.

There was no helping it; Kaeya was truly a bit of a headache.

Damn it, she and Diluc were out there fighting for their lives, and that guy Kaeya was drinking at Angel's Share all day!

(╯)╯┻┻

At this moment, Jean didn't even know what to say.

If she didn't have a shortage of manpower, she would have wanted to make an example out of Kaeya.

As for Amber, she was truly out scouting and didn't have time to come over!

"Is that so?" Mu Yang nodded thoughtfully, though he didn't pay it much mind.

He still had some interest in Amber, though not because he was lusting after her; Amber didn't quite hit his mark.

But he was interested in Amber as the Traveler's first friend. After all, Amber was indeed very good to the Traveler—she was the first to treat the Traveler to a meal, gave the Traveler a wind glider, and helped the Traveler find tools.

It was just that after Amber joined the team, she became a mere tool character, serving only to solve puzzles at the beginning, and later, once there were more companions, Amber was left to gather dust.

It was just that there were too many wives.

Mu Yang turned to Albedo and said: "Mr. Albedo, you should already know about the matter regarding Liyue. What is your take on it?"

Upon hearing this, Albedo fell into silence; it seemed Jean had already sold him out earlier.

Of course, it was only for a few years. Liyue seemed to want him to conduct research. Regarding this, Albedo didn't actually mind. For a long-lived being like him, a few years was nothing more than the blink of an eye.

However, he still asked: "May I ask what kind of research you want me to do?"

"That is naturally fine! You should have some impression of the thing we want you to develop; it's somewhat similar to Miss Alice's Dodoco Communications Device, called a mobile phone..." Mu Yang briefly outlined the concept of the mobile phone to Albedo.

This also made the eyes of Jean and the others light up involuntarily.

It seemed this was feasible!

Especially Jean; although they had a chat group they could use, the people they could contact through the chat group were limited to those in the group.

But if they could research such a mobile phone, it would be of immense help to them.

It was just that the research results would belong to Liyue, after all, it was Ningguang and the others who were paying for the research, and Albedo had merely been lent out.

This was awkward!

Jean felt she would need to discuss this matter thoroughly with Ningguang later; they needed mobile phones too!

Although there were no patent rights in this world, if Albedo were to give these things to Mondstadt after helping others finish a research project, it would violate industry rules!

Albedo himself would not do such a thing.

(Readers should have noticed that it is currently 3,000 words per update! When the author first started writing, I actually liked 2,000 words per update, then it became 1,600 words, and last year it became 1,600 words again. My previous books were 5 or 6 updates a day, which was about 10,000 to 12,000 words. Now 3,000 words per update is popular, and the author is also working hard to update. After going live, I will maintain three updates daily, and if I'm in a good flow, four updates, and the word count hasn't decreased. If you don't like it, the author can go back to 2,000 words per update and pretend I'm updating a lot.)
