Chapter 146

~7 min read 1,275 words

For a moment, Andrei, the manager of the Northland Bank Liyue branch, couldn't help but worry: "Have the Millelith of Liyue become this powerful? Lord Childe, this is not a good thing."

Seeing people from other countries becoming so strong, Andrei still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

In his heart, Snezhnaya was the strongest.

If there were conflicts in the future, and your enemy could fly by sword, just thinking about it gave him a headache.

"No, when I retreated, I tested other Millelith soldiers and found that they had not mastered this sword art, and didn't even know about it."

Hearing the words of Andrei, the manager of the Northland Bank Liyue branch, Childe shook his head gently: "So I suspect that flying by sword is something only that one Millelith soldier can do, which is why Lady Yuheng, one of the Liyue Qixing, would personally seek him out."

"If only that one Millelith soldier has mastered such a miraculous sword art, then there is no threat."

"Although this sword art is incredible, it also has major drawbacks and is not impossible to restrain. If I used my full strength, I could completely take him down, or even prevent him from flying by sword in time."

"I am now more interested in who this person is, where he came from, and how he mastered such a sword art. His identity remains a mystery to this day; it seems even Liyue hasn't investigated it."

Speaking of this, Childe squinted his eyes, becoming increasingly curious about Lin Mo.

Which nation did this person belong to?

He had never heard of anyone from other nations mastering similar sword arts.

Sumeru, Fontaine, Natlan—none of them had ever seen such techniques.

"Other Millelith soldiers can't?"

Hearing Childe's words, Andrei, the manager of the Northland Bank Liyue branch, was stunned.

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "That's truly great. If only one person can do it, then there's no threat..."

Moreover, Lord Childe had just said that only this Millelith soldier could fly by sword, and the other Millelith soldiers couldn't, so he immediately felt much more comfortable.

In this way, the Millelith were not as full of threats as he had imagined.

"Actually, I quite want to become friends with this person, but unfortunately, he doesn't seem to think much of us Fatui."

Childe sighed lightly: "If I could obtain that miraculous Art of Sword Flight from him, I believe my Master would be surprised as well."

"Next, assign some people to keep an eye on him."

After thinking for a while, Childe said: "Send people to the Sea of Clouds, find a hidden place, and build a small base."

"Yes."

Hearing Childe's words, Andrei, the manager of the Northland Bank Liyue branch, nodded with a solemn expression.

He obeyed Lord Childe's words.

Moreover, this Millelith soldier could also fly by sword, which sounded incredible.

"A person cannot just appear out of thin air."

"That ability to fly by sword is indeed incredible, but if there is no power, how is it mobilized?"

"Could it be related to the Adepti of Jueyun Karst?"

As Andrei, the manager of the Northland Bank Liyue branch, left, Childe thought of Lin Mo's Art of Sword Flight and fell into deep thought.

How on earth did the other party achieve it?

Could it be a disciple of the Adepti of Jueyun Karst or something?

That didn't make sense either.

Isn't the disciple of the Adepti of Jueyun Karst that woman with the Cryo Vision?

That person lived in Jueyun Karst for a long time and only came to Liyue Harbor once every ten days or half a month.

Childe shook his head gently, unable to figure it out.

If possible, he really wanted to obtain that method of sword flight from Lin Mo.

"Perhaps, I can just go and buy it."

Thinking of this, Childe pinched his chin and squinted his eyes: "If this method can be bought, then it would be a huge profit. I can try."

Thinking of Lin Mo's method of sword flight, Childe felt tempted.

Mainly because when he goes back to see his Master in the future, he can present this method of sword flight.

If it can't be bought, then he can try to make an exchange with that person and see what he needs.

While Childe was thinking this.

On the other side.

Liyue.

In a remote street, in a small teahouse.

A middle-aged man with short silver-gray hair and a long beard of the same color was sitting quietly.

His features were deep, his eyebrows straight and slightly raised, and his eyes revealed a sense of depth and wisdom.

There were no obvious wrinkles on his face, but from his deep gaze, one could see his sophistication and experience.

He was dressed in a Liyue-style robe, dark gray and gold in color. The robe had intricate gold patterns as embellishments, especially near the cuffs and collar.

In the center of the robe, there were four classic buttons, with an even interval between each button.

"Hehe, I didn't expect Uncle Tian to come looking for me."

The next second, a light laugh sounded, and Yelan walked in from outside and sat down in front of this middle-aged man.

"Sigh, it's tiring."

Hearing Yelan's words, the person called Uncle Tian shook his head gently: "You don't know my work. I came to find you this time because I want you to keep an eye on Liyue. I have discussed with the other Qixing, and we have decided to abdicate and give way to others, but there is no candidate yet, so I need your help and intelligence."

"So fast?"

Hearing Uncle Tian's words, Yelan narrowed her eyes: "In my opinion, you can work for at least another five years; there's no need to abdicate so quickly."

"People are getting old; it's best to let the young people have a stage to show their talents early."

Uncle Tian shook his head gently: "Actually, I would rather hand over the position to you, but looking at you, you don't seem willing, so I can only find someone in Liyue myself, and I will need your help later."

"Forget about me; I'm not suitable for this."

Hearing Uncle Tian's words, Yelan shook her head gently: "But there's no problem with you wanting intelligence. When you have identified someone, you can come to me again, and I will help you check the intelligence."

"But it won't work in the short term; I'm going to The Chasm tomorrow. Ningguang asked me to go there to investigate, and this trip will probably take a lot of time."

"The Chasm? The seal there has problems; I didn't expect you to be the one to investigate."

Hearing Yelan's words, Uncle Tian had a look of surprise in his eyes: "Ningguang said she would send someone, but I didn't expect it to be you. However, if you are going, then I believe it will definitely be resolved."

Speaking of this, Uncle Tian had a smiling face.

"But I still hope you'd better take one or two helpers with you."

After thinking for a while, Uncle Tian pondered: "Besides needing you to eliminate major accidents there, there is also the situation of Hilichurls flooding into The Chasm. These all need you to investigate, and if necessary, you can break the seal."

"Break the seal?"

Hearing Uncle Tian's words, Yelan frowned slightly: "Has the matter reached such a point? Once the seal is broken, it means opening The Chasm, and now is not a good time to open The Chasm."

"Because that seal has already started to have problems."
