Chapter 338
"It's a pity I don't have enough influence points to copy the ice-attribute power for now."
Feeling the refreshment, Lin Mo sighed inwardly.
He was still lacking influence points; he had always wanted to copy attribute powers.
For example, ice attribute, thunder attribute, and so on.
Today he had obtained another Word Spirit Art, which also consumed influence points; just thinking about it made Lin Mo sigh in his heart—he lacked time and influence points.
While Lin Mo was thinking this, Jingliu had already stood up and tidied her clothes.
Lin Mo also stood up, looked at Jingliu's clothes, and pondered: "Is this the only set you have? I'll go to the Guangyun Sleeve side to buy some for you."
"I already have a few sets with me."
Hearing Lin Mo's words, Jingliu shook her head gently: "They are all in my storage space."
"So that's how it is."
Lin Mo realized.
But the next second, Lin Mo looked Jingliu over carefully and didn't see any storage items on her.
However, Lin Mo didn't ask, instead watching Jingliu leave.
"If you want to find someone, you can go to the Alchemy Commission and take a look."
Watching Jingliu head out the door, Lin Mo thought of something and pondered: "Being able to escape from the Shackling Prison, it's very likely their state is not right and they need the help of the Alchemy Commission's medicine; compared to Exalted Sanctum, the Alchemy Commission is more likely, but you should also be careful."
Ever since he saw Kafka at the Alchemy Commission, Lin Mo had made a preliminary guess that Blade might be in the Alchemy Commission's cave.
After all, Kafka wasn't injured, and even later, it was for the sake of treating Blade's physical state.
Now that he could see Kafka at the Alchemy Commission, it was highly likely that Kafka and Blade were there.
"The Alchemy Commission?"
Hearing Lin Mo's words, Jingliu's footsteps paused; she nodded thoughtfully: "I understand, I will pay attention to that side."
Saying this, Jingliu's figure dissipated, instantly leaving the spot.
Lin Mo walked into the room and headed toward the mirror.
This mirror could only be seen by him and only used by him.
When he first came back, the feeling was as if he had been bound to it.
This was also the reason why Jingliu hadn't noticed this mirror while coming and going these past two days.
"I don't know what kind of thing it is to be so magical."
Thinking of the situation he had learned about before, Lin Mo shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
If he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't think about it; anyway, it wasn't a loss for him.
When Lin Mo returned to Liyue.
It was already evening in Liyue; the setting sun hung on the horizon like a red sun, its afterglow dyeing the sky of Liyue a golden red.
Those clouds undulating on the skyline seemed to have been ignited, their edges painted with layers of gradient orange-yellow. A breeze blew past, bringing a hint of coolness yet not losing its warm touch, announcing the end of the day and the prelude to the night about to unfold.
The lanterns on the streets were gradually lit, and the lights of Liyue Harbor began to flicker, reflecting the last rays of sunlight in the sky, making the entire city look as if it were surrounded by golden radiance.
The footsteps of pedestrians on the roadside were unhurried, vendors began to set up their stalls one by one, and children played to their hearts' content in the last light, enjoying this precious time before the end of the day.
"Collei isn't here."
Looking at Collei's open room, Lin Mo looked at the main gate again and found that Collei wasn't there.
This meant Collei didn't know where she was playing either.
The time he returned today wasn't too late, though.
Lin Mo thought this while walking toward the street outside.
Just as he walked out, his gaze caught the bustling crowd, as well as the Liyue Tower located in Liyue Harbor, illuminated by the evening glow in the distance.
The spire of the tower gradually became blurred, as if about to merge into the coming night.
At this moment, Liyue was no longer just a busy commercial port; it was more like a flowing scroll, telling the gentlest story of the day.
As the sky gradually darkened, the first batch of stars began to twinkle in the firmament, the night curtain lowered, and the busiest moment of the day was about to arrive.
Lin Mo felt the unique charm of this city, a vitality that remained dazzling even after sunset.
"Brother Lin Mo?!"
The next second, a voice of surprise rang out.
He saw Collei walking from afar, and upon seeing Lin Mo, she immediately ran over with a joyful expression.
"Where did you play today?"
Seeing Collei run back, Lin Mo said with a smile: "Looks like you had a good time."
With just one glance, Lin Mo judged that Collei hadn't taken a nap this afternoon.
"I was taken by Hall Master Hu Tao to the Yunhan Society, where I met Sister Yunjin."
Hearing Lin Mo's words, Collei's face was flushed: "Then I listened to Liyue opera; I didn't expect to run into you, Brother Lin Mo, as soon as I got back."
At this moment, Collei only felt that her return was very timely.
If she had come back any later, she wouldn't have met Lin Mo.
"That sounds pretty good."
Hearing Collei's words, Lin Mo immediately smiled and said: "Didn't Yunjin ask you to stay for dinner?"
For Collei, being able to meet more Liyue girls was also a good thing.
"She did, but I thought you would be back in the evening, Brother Lin Mo, so I thought I'd come back first."
Collei hugged Lin Mo happily and said: "Luckily I came back, otherwise I would have missed you, Brother Lin Mo."
"Since that's the case, let's go have dinner now."
Hearing Collei's words and seeing Collei, who was so dependent on him, Lin Mo rubbed Collei's little head.
"Mm-hmm."
Hearing Lin Mo's words, Collei was full of happiness: "Everything as you say, Brother Lin Mo."
"We won't go to Wanmin Restaurant tonight; let's go stroll around and find a small restaurant."
Lin Mo chuckled, and while speaking, he walked forward.
Collei hugged Lin Mo's arm very affectionately, following by his side.
The two walked along the street in front, following Liyue Harbor ahead, where they could see rows of huge sailing ships docked.
Their masts towered into the clouds, and the hulls were wide and stable, like floating fortresses.
Under the dim lights, the figures of sailors shuttled back and forth on the decks; they were either checking the firmness of the ropes or moving the cargo that had just been unloaded, everyone busy, but their faces were full of anticipation for the upcoming rest time.
On the pier, the clanging sounds came one after another; it was the workers doing their final work.
Seagulls circled between the ships, occasionally flying low over the water to catch fish.
The lights on the ships and the streetlights on the shore reflected each other, making the sea surface of the port sparkle, as if covered with a golden carpet.
Lin Mo and Collei strolled through this busy and orderly port, feeling a vibrant sea breeze, carrying a faint salty taste and the call of the distance.
The shops around gradually lit up, emitting the aroma of food, attracting them to explore the small restaurants hidden in street corners that only locals knew about.
On such an evening, Liyue Harbor appeared exceptionally charming; it was not only a prosperous commercial port but more like an old friend full of stories, no matter where you went, it would always warmly welcome your return.
"Have you heard? The auction held by the Feiyun Commerce Guild is being held on the Pearl Galley tonight."
"What? Held on the Pearl Galley? Then we're done for; that's not a place we ordinary people can get onto."
"I wanted to see if I could join in the fun, but I didn't expect the auction to be held on the Pearl Galley. Sigh, it's a pity I can't witness this auction."
"Who's to say? I thought it was being auctioned at the Feiyun Commerce Guild."
At this time, passersby were discussing it, many talking about the auction they had learned about in the morning.
As they chatted, many sighed.
"Making a fuss over nothing."
Regarding some people's sighs, a passerby wasn't surprised at all and said: "Don't forget why this auction is being held; it's for a divine artifact, so it must be placed in a place like the Pearl Galley that has an entry threshold."
"Exactly, bidding for a divine artifact on the Pearl Galley is not surprising. No wonder so many Millelith soldiers are patrolling Liyue Harbor today; I wonder who will end up with it."
"It will definitely be auctioned for a high price. Ordinary rechargeable weapons that Vision holders can use are already worth a fortune, let alone this legendary divine artifact; I wonder what it looks like."
"As far as I know, even the sword held by Lady Yuheng of the Liyue Qixing is not a divine artifact."
"But I do think the speed of this auction is a bit too fast; it was only advertised for less than a day before it started."
"Sigh, the Pearl Galley; if only I could get on it, that would be great."
