Chapter 70

~8 min read 1,497 words

But today, this inheritance has almost dissipated to nothing.

Lin Mo is so young, yet he knows it.

"I also didn't expect that you would actually give me this sword."

Lin Mo touched the sword gently with his hand and squinted his eyes: "The meaning represented by this sword itself is not ordinary."

This is a sword personally created by the Geo Archon, Morax.

It symbolizes the solemn contract of the Lord of Geo at that time, and the person holding this sword, to a certain extent, represents...

"Although it has a representative meaning, a sword is a weapon, and a weapon is meant to be used."

Keqing said softly: "It's not that no Liyue the Liyue Qixing has held this sword before, but in the end, it went around and returned to the hands of Liyue, sealed in Liyue's treasury."

"You have made contributions to Liyue. Although you haven't been in Liyue for long, I believe I won't misjudge people; you are suitable to hold this sword."

"Originally, in my thoughts, I wanted to give you another sword, but that sword is not in my hands. Considering that you currently need a powerful weapon, I decided to give you the Summit Shaper first."

"As for the other sword, I will give it to you after I get it later."

"However, it won't be given to you so easily."

Speaking of this, Keqing's mouth curled up with a little pride: "I can only tell you that it is a sword not inferior to the Summit Shaper."

"A sword not inferior to the Summit Shaper?"

Hearing Keqing's words, Lin Mo raised an eyebrow, and the image of a certain weapon flashed in his mind instantly.

The next second, Lin Mo chuckled: "Then I am looking forward to it."

"This sword is indeed extraordinary."

Saying that, Lin Mo picked up the Summit Shaper. The Summit Shaper emitted golden light in the sunlight, looking very extraordinary at a glance.

Even just getting his hands on it, Lin Mo could feel that the Summit Shaper itself carried a kind of energy, which made Lin Mo's expression surprised.

Is this a sword that comes with elemental power?

"Actually, for those who possess a Vision, this sword is a handy weapon."

Noticing the expression on Lin Mo's face, Keqing continued: "Especially for those who possess a Geo Vision, this is a supreme treasure. Driven by Geo elemental power, it can exert the special effects of this sword and the hidden power carried by the sword itself."

Hearing Keqing's words, Lin Mo nodded gently.

He couldn't obtain a Geo Vision, but if he had enough influence points in the future and encountered a target with Geo attributes, he could also copy it.

Just like the Ice attribute power mastered by Yanqing, as long as he had enough influence points, he could master it.

However, getting the Summit Shaper was indeed very helpful to Lin Mo.

This was almost an indestructible weapon, personally created by Morax back then.

Lin Mo tried to use the sword-controlling technique to make this Summit Shaper fly, and immediately felt that this sword was different from the other Millelith longswords.

It even contained more powerful energy than Keqing's personal sword, which needed to be guided out.

"Your sword."

While controlling the Summit Shaper, Lin Mo handed Keqing's personal sword to Keqing.

Now that he had the Summit Shaper, it was just right to return Keqing's personal sword to her.

Keqing gladly took the personal sword handed over by Lin Mo, and touched her personal sword gently with joy in her eyes.

Her personal sword was held tightly in her hand, the blade emitting a faint light.

Feeling its weight and the smooth blade.

Keqing swung it gently, sword energy condensed instantly, and cold light flashed on the blade.

This personal sword was her partner, witnessing every step of her growth, and now it had returned to her hands, as if declaring a new beginning.

The next second, Keqing looked at Lin Mo with high spirits: "Let's continue to spar. I have time this morning."

"Alright."

Hearing Keqing's words, Lin Mo nodded.

He still had to keep his appointment with Yanqing in the afternoon, so naturally, he needed to practice with the sword to warm up in the morning.

Immediately, Lin Mo began to spar with Keqing on swordsmanship.

Rather than sparring, it was more like using the sword-controlling technique to guide Keqing's sword moves and so on.

At the same time.

On the other side.

Liyue.

The Snezhnayan diplomatic department stationed in Liyue, Yusupov, the diplomatic envoy representing Snezhnaya.

Upon seeing Childe arrive, he immediately hurried to welcome him and said quickly: "Lord Childe, why are you here? If there is anything, you only need to order someone to notify me."

Although he was the representative envoy voluntarily stationed in Liyue, in front of Childe, he was still not enough.

Childe had absolute command over him.

"Enoch and the others were sent out to gather information yesterday and didn't return all night. I heard people say this morning that some Fatui were arrested."

Childe got straight to the point: "So I want you to represent Snezhnaya and ask Liyue if Enoch and the others were the ones arrested, and if so, why they were arrested."

"Enoch was arrested?"

Hearing Childe's words, Yusupov's expression changed: "I will go to the General Affairs Office to inquire immediately. Please wait a moment, Lord Childe."

He was quite familiar with Enoch, who often passed intelligence to him here.

But they had never been arrested by Liyue before, so why were they arrested this time?

Without the slightest hesitation, Yusupov quickly bid farewell to Childe and headed to the General Affairs Office to inquire about the situation immediately.

No matter what, Yusupov had the right to know about Liyue arresting the Fatui.

Watching Yusupov leave in a hurry, Childe frowned and whispered: "They were just investigating the actions of the Liyue the Liyue Qixing. It's not like they hadn't investigated before, and they weren't arrested. Why were they arrested this time?"

Childe couldn't understand why anyone would be arrested here.

As Fatui spies active in the City of Liyue, they knew Liyue's laws by heart.

As long as they didn't actively violate Liyue's laws, there would be no issues at all.

Yet this time, they were arrested.

While Childe was waiting, time passed quietly.

When Childe was getting a bit impatient, Yusupov ran back in a hurry.

"How is it?"

Seeing Yusupov return, Childe asked quickly: "What did you find out?"

"Lord Childe, Enoch and the others were indeed arrested."

Yusupov smiled bitterly: "The reason is that they were suspected of harming the Millelith of Liyue. They have now been locked in the Liyue prison, and no one can visit them. They definitely won't be able to come out in the short term."

"Suspected of harming the Millelith of Liyue?"

Hearing this, Childe's eyelids twitched: "How is that possible? I specifically ordered them not to take action against the Millelith of Liyue. Even if the Millelith of Liyue took action against them, they were not to fight back. How could they be suspected of harming the Millelith?"

He had given orders.

The reason he had been so stable in Liyue until now was because he could endure and would not actively violate Liyue's laws.

Liyue was also helpless against him.

After all, he was a Fatui Harbinger of Snezhnaya, and since he hadn't violated Liyue's laws in Liyue, Liyue couldn't arrest him for no reason.

Although Liyue gritted its teeth at the appearance of the Northland Bank, there was nothing they could do.

He also knew deeply that Liyue looked down on him, but for Her Majesty the Tsaritsa, he was willing to stay in Liyue to complete his mission.

As for his subordinates, he had specifically ordered them not to actively violate Liyue's laws or harm the Millelith.

The Fatui who could stay in the City of Liyue should all be clever people.

"I don't know either."

Hearing Childe's words, Yusupov said in a deep voice: "This time, they don't even have the qualification for visitation. I suspect that Liyue wants to take action against us Fatui, directly fabricating a charge to arrest our people."

In the past, even when their people gathered intelligence, they hadn't violated Liyue's laws.

Why were they arrested this time?

"Perhaps the problem lies in the direction of the investigation."

Hearing Yusupov's words, Childe pondered: "If Liyue wants to take action against the Fatui, there must be a reason, and this reason must be established."

"I asked them to investigate the Yuheng Star of the Liyue the Liyue Qixing and a Millelith soldier, and they were arrested. The problem still lies with the Yuheng Star or that Millelith soldier."

Thinking of the mission he ordered Andrei, Childe quickly analyzed the reason.

"Investigate the Millelith?"

Hearing Childe's words, Yusupov's expression was astonished.

What is there to investigate about the Millelith?
