Chapter 344

Hearing this price, the people present collectively gasped.

The starting price was actually one hundred million.

However, the next second, one voice after another rang out one after another, instantly pushing this auction to a climax.

Time passed quietly, and in the end, only two voices rang out one after another on the entire Pearl Galley.

"Five billion Mora!"

"Five point one billion Mora!"

Childe stared at a merchant not far away with an ugly expression, his face icy.

Childe truly hadn't expected that such a guy would "kill his way out" halfway through.

When it soared to over ten billion, almost no one could bid with him.

As a result, a guy appeared who increased the bid by one hundred million Mora each time.

Where did this Liyue merchant get so much Mora?!

One must know that even if Liyue merchants were wealthy, it was impossible for them to casually take out several billion Mora!

He had the support of the Northland Bank, but the other party was just one person.

Five billion Mora was not a small amount for him.

While Childe's expression was ugly, the people around looked at each other, constantly swallowing saliva, and whispered: "My god, I thought this thing would top out at over ten billion Mora; I didn't expect it to be close to one hundred billion."

"This is too exaggerated; one hundred billion Mora, how exaggerated must that be? Who is that guy? He can actually call out a high price of several billion Mora."

"I don't know him; there's no reason for us not to know such a wealthy merchant in Liyue."

"Although I know the other Fatui Harbinger, this guy has the Northland Bank behind him; the Northland Bank is his, so I'm not surprised at all that he can take out so much Mora, but his opponent, a merchant, is actually so rich; it's too far beyond my expectations."

"It shows that there are many hidden talents in Liyue."

One person after another whispered, occasionally sizing up Childe and Childe's bidding personnel.

"The current price has exceeded five billion Mora; next, both parties can take out other things to add to the bid."

While everyone was discussing, before Childe could continue to grit his teeth and maintain the price, the courtesan suddenly spoke: "When the Mora reaches a certain number, it is enough. The value of a divine artifact cannot be measured by Mora. If you have other additional bids, you can also increase them."

"There are two private rooms behind me; you two can come in, state your maximum bid, and finally, I, the Pearl Galley, will judge who this shattered divine artifact will go to."

"No problem."

Hearing this, the merchant bidding with Childe nodded readily: "Small problem."

Saying this, he stood up directly and walked toward the back of the courtesan.

"Damn it."

Seeing this, Childe's expression was also incomparably ugly.

But he still stepped forward.

"So it's not public anymore?"

And the onlookers seeing this scene looked at each other in dismay.

So it wasn't public anymore?

"How could it not be public? This is the two parties directly deciding the winner."

Someone shook their head and said: "Don't forget, when the Mora reaches a certain amount, it loses its meaning, and you can't let them keep bidding at this price. If other conditions aren't added, who knows how many billions of Mora it will bid up to, and how long we have to wait? So the Pearl Galley wants to save time, and that is to decide the winner in one blow."

"We just need to wait."

"That's true; what you said makes sense."

"I get it now."

Hearing this person's explanation, the people present were instantly enlightened.

Time passed quietly.

While everyone was waiting.

On the top floor of the Pearl Galley, Yelan chuckled: "Now we can conclude that this Polar Star is Childe's weapon. Ningguang's goal has been achieved, and today's mission is perfectly completed."

Everything was as Ningguang had envisioned; the final result was not wrong.

"However, the only pity is that we haven't figured out who shattered this weapon. Sigh."

Saying this, Yelan sighed: "Ningguang asked me to investigate, but so far there has been no clue, and I haven't been able to investigate it. The Rite of Descension is approaching, and if this matter at the Golden House isn't clarified as soon as possible, it will be very troublesome."

After all, such a dangerous force must be noticed by Liyue.

The Rite of Descension is Liyue's annual big festival; if this isn't clarified, it will be troublesome if something happens.

If the location of the incident hadn't been at the Golden House, how could Liyue have paid such attention?

Lin Mo: "...."

Collei: "......"

"What's wrong?"

Noticing the strange expressions of Lin Mo and Collei, Yelan was surprised and raised an eyebrow.

Why were they suddenly making this expression?

If she remembered correctly, when they were at Liyue Harbor, Collei and Lin Mo's expressions were also this strange.

"Um, this weapon was actually shattered by Brother Lin Mo."

Seeing Yelan bring up this question again, just for the sake of the layout, just for the sake of pursuing this answer.

Collei couldn't help it; she looked at Lin Mo and then reminded him softly: "At that time, when we passed by the Golden House, we saw that Fatui Harbinger holding a Millelith soldier, and then that Fatui Harbinger turned into a strange appearance and wanted to grab me and Brother Lin Mo."

Collei felt that Yelan was so good to her and took care of her, so this matter could be told completely.

And Yelan had mentioned it twice and seemed to have a headache; she had just decided to say it when she looked at Lin Mo, deciding to say it to put Yelan's mind at ease.

"What?!"

Hearing Collei's words, Yelan's pupils shrank violently, and she subconsciously looked at Lin Mo, full of shock.

Lin Mo did it?

The weapon Polar Star was shattered by Lin Mo?

The answer she had been trying to track down was right by her side?

Yelan was shocked.

Yelan had thought Lin Mo was very powerful, but she hadn't thought Lin Mo would be this powerful, actually being able to shatter a divine artifact, and also crushing Childe, ending the battle in such a short time.

Thinking of what Ganyu said at the time, from the beginning to the end, it didn't take long at all, and the mess at the scene hadn't recovered even now.

All of this was actually done by Lin Mo.

Yelan was shocked.

【Your behavior has caused shock in others, influence +50】

While Yelan felt shocked, Lin Mo looked at the influence points that appeared and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

There were actually fifty points; compared to the ten points at the beginning, it had increased a lot.

"It was actually done by you."

After Yelan was shocked and came back to her senses, she punched Lin Mo's shoulder in annoyance: "Why didn't you tell me at the time?"

The reason she had been trying to pursue was actually right by her side; this was too far beyond Yelan's expectations.

After the expectation, thinking of the power Lin Mo had displayed, Yelan felt it didn't seem unreasonable.

Thinking of Lin Mo "hiding" it from her, Yelan looked annoyed.

"You didn't ask either."

Lin Mo rubbed his temples and said: "At that time, after beating Childe up, I noticed many people rushing here, so I took Collei and left immediately. If I had stayed at the scene, I don't know what kind of trouble it would have caused."

"Afterward, I didn't see you, and I didn't have a chance to say it, and you didn't ask."

"I only found out about this auction today, and only then did I know that your Liyue alchemists had repaired this shattered Polar Star and taken it out for auction to lock onto the fact that the owner of this weapon is Childe."

Hearing Lin Mo's words, Yelan also rubbed her temples.

Lin Mo was indeed right; she hadn't come to Lin Mo to communicate about this matter these past few days, so she couldn't get the news from Lin Mo in time.

If she had come to Lin Mo to communicate yesterday, she might have already known, and wouldn't have needed to set up this auction to fish for Childe.

"But this can also be considered a good thing."

Looking at Yelan rubbing her temples, Lin Mo spoke slowly: "It looks like you wanted to make a big profit from Childe through this thing; the value of this thing is priceless to Childe, and he must get it no matter what."

"Actually, we didn't intend for Childe to get this thing back in the first place."
