Chapter 79

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

Seeing people from other nations become so strong still made Andre feel somewhat uncomfortable.

In his heart, Snezhnaya was the strongest.

If there were a conflict in the future, the thought of your enemies being able to ride swords through the air was enough to give him a headache.

"No, when I retreated, I tested the other Millelith, and I discovered that they have not mastered this sword technique; they don't even know of it."

Hearing the words of Andre, the manager of the Northland Bank's Liyue branch, Childe shook his head gently: "So I suspect that only that one Millelith knows how to ride a sword. This is also why the Yuheng, one of the Liyue the Liyue Qixing, would personally seek him out."

"If it is only that one Millelith who possesses such a miraculous sword technique, then there is no threat."

"Although this sword technique is incredible, it also has major drawbacks and is not impossible to counter. If I used my full strength, I could completely take him down, perhaps even before the opponent has time to ride their sword."

"What I am more interested in now is who this person is, where he came from, and how he came to master such a sword technique. His identity remains a mystery to this day; it seems even Liyue has not been able to investigate it."

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

Which nation does this person actually belong to?

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

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

"The other Millelith don't know it?"

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

He immediately let out a sigh of relief: "That is truly great. If only one person knows it, then there is no threat..."

Moreover, Lord Childe had just said that only this Millelith knew the sword-riding technique and the others did not, which made him feel much more at ease.

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 sword-riding technique from him, I believe my Master would be surprised as well."

"From now on, spare some manpower to keep an eye on him."

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

"Yes."

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

He was obedient to Lord Childe's words.

Besides, the fact that this Millelith could ride a sword sounded incredible.

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

"That ability to ride a sword is indeed incredible, but if he has no power, how is he manipulating it?"

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

As Andre, the manager of the Northland Bank's Liyue branch, left, Childe fell into deep thought, thinking about Lin Mo's sword-riding technique.

How exactly did the other party manage it?

Could it be that he is a disciple of an Adeptus from Jueyun Karst?

That didn't make sense either.

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

She resides in Jueyun Karst and only comes 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 sword-riding method from Lin Mo.

"Perhaps I can just buy it."

Thinking of this, Childe pinched his chin and narrowed his eyes: "If this method can be bought, then it would be a huge profit. It's worth a try."

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

Mainly because when he returns to see his Master in the future, he could present this sword-riding method as a gift.

If it couldn't be bought, he could try to trade with him and see what he needs.

While Childe was thinking this.

On the other side.

Liyue.

In a small teahouse on a remote street.

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 upturned, 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 in dark gray and gold. The robe had intricate gold patterns as embellishments, especially near the cuffs and collar.

In the center of the robe were four classic buttons, evenly spaced.

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

The next second, a light laugh rang out as Yelan walked in from outside and sat down in front of the middle-aged man.

"Sigh, I'm tired."

Hearing Yelan's words, the man known as Uncle Tian shook his head gently: "It's not like 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 it with the other the Liyue Qixing, and we have decided to abdicate and make way for others. However, there is no candidate yet, so I need your help and intelligence."

"So soon?"

Hearing Uncle Tian's words, Yelan narrowed her eyes: "In my opinion, you could work for at least another five years. There's no need to step down so quickly."

"When a person gets old, it's best to let the young people have their stage early."

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

"Count me out; I'm not suited for this."

Hearing Uncle Tian's words, Yelan shook her head gently: "But there's no problem with you needing intelligence. Once you've scouted someone, you can come find me, and I'll help you check their background."

"However, it won't be possible in the short term. I'm heading to The Chasm tomorrow. Ningguang asked me to investigate there, and this trip will likely take quite some time."

"The Chasm? The seal there has had problems. I didn't expect you to be the one sent 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 smiled.

"But I still hope you'll bring one or two helpers with you."

After thinking for a moment, Uncle Tian pondered: "Besides you needing to rule out major accidents there, there is also the situation of Hilichurls flooding into the area beneath The Chasm. You need to investigate all of this, and if necessary, you can break the seal."

"Break the seal?"

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

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