Lin Ye and others set off, while Albedo and Bennett stayed behind, the former for the original experimental project, and the latter continued to look for Joel's father.
Before leaving, Lin Ye suddenly remembered that Xingqiu had asked him to give a letter and a pile of manuscripts to Mr. Bai Ke in Mondstadt, saying that it was the latest volume and required Mr. Bai Ke's exquisite illustrations.
Lin Ye knew that Albedo was Mr. Bai Ke, so he simply handed it over to Albedo.
As an illustrator, Albedo did not think of hiding it, but no one asked him, so he did not tell anyone. Albedo was curious about how Lin Ye knew that he was Mr. Bai Ke.
Xingqiu has never met Albedo, and he is a pen pal with Mr. Bai Ke. Every time he sent his manuscripts, there was someone to collect them. However, the other party went back to his hometown to get married, so Xingqiu asked Lin Ye for help.
Lin Ye said that he learned it from the married person. Anyway, the other person is not in Mondstadt now, so there is no need to worry about Albedo asking.
After Lin Ye left, Albedo glanced through the manuscript and was attracted by the words at first sight.
"Beautiful bearded man?"
Xingqiu was just an elegant name for the Hu Zha bandit.
…………
Noon, Mondstadt.
Lin Ye said goodbye to Amberyula, and the black-robed man No. 1 was taken away by them.
Next, Lin Ye is going to buy alchemical materials with Sucrose. According to Sucrose, some high-end auctions will be held in the evening.
Therefore, Lin Ye went back to the hotel to catch up on his sleep. Shen He was not sleepy, but seeing that Lin Ye was a little tired from the long journey, he accompanied him back to the hotel.
Sugar returned to her own nest, while Ruarua fiddled with the cute bones she had collected~
In the evening, when the agreed time arrived, Lin Ye and Shen He went out, first went to the Deer Hunter Restaurant for dinner, and then met Shatang under the statue of the God of Wind.
There is a shop in Mondstadt called "Wind of Glory". It collects seals of wind and usually sells some alchemical materials. It also sells rare items such as badminton, organs, etc.
The auction mentioned by Sucrose is similar to a larger version of "Wind of Glory".
As for an auction, as soon as you hear the name, you know that it is a place where rare items are sold, and the auction method is adopted, so the price cannot be fixed.
Before leaving, Sucrose confirmed again and again whether Lin Ye's budget was sufficient. She estimated that it would cost at least 200 million Mora to buy all the needed alchemical materials.
Even though the conversion ratio between the Mora in Teyvat and Lin Ye's previous life is a bit high, 200 million Mora is still not a small number. Lin Ye remembered that when he was a traveler, there were only 10 million Mora in his backpack.
Lin Ye recalled the budget given by Lin Xiaofeng, and felt relieved. He made an OK gesture to Shatang.
At this moment, even Sugar, who didn't care about money, couldn't help but smile.
After all, she will be the one who handles the purchased high-level alchemical materials, and she has never touched such expensive alchemical materials before.
At the same time, at the diplomatic mission stationed in the Kingdom of Winter.
"Hmph!" After reading a letter, the lady snorted in annoyance, and then the letter in her hand was burned to ashes and scattered on the ground.
"You guys." After the lady got angry, she looked at the Fatui members. The lady was tall and had an even more overwhelming aura. When she looked at the Fatui members who were afraid to lower their heads, she was looking down from a perspective.
"My lady, what can I do for you?" the Fatui member immediately looked up and asked.
“I’ll give you a list… Never mind, it’s boring to stay here all the time, why not go to the auction with me?” The lady was about to order someone to run errands, but then she thought about something and muttered to herself.
Chapter 213: Just Million Mora
[Madam] Rosalin Cruzshika Lowfat, the eighth executive officer of the Fatui, ranked higher than Tartaglia. Before joining the Fatui, [Madam] was called the [Incineration Witch of Flame].
Rosalin has platinum hair, a tall and plump figure, and a striking black butterfly-like facial decoration. She often looks arrogant and disdainful, and her voice is clear and sharp.
Rosalin's position in Mondstadt is the representative of the diplomatic mission of the Kingdom of Winter. The previous person in charge was "Doctor", who passed away and was replaced by Rosalin.
In the game, she used the Black Tiger Heart-Ripping Technique to take away the Heart of the God of Wind. Naturally, she could not stay in Mondstadt any longer. The lady went to Liyue earlier than the Traveler and made a deal with Morax on behalf of the Queen's will.
Now the lady hasn't attacked Wendy, which means she still has a chance of survival.
Although players jokingly said that Tartaglia was temporarily leaving Winter City, sooner or later he would be razed and leave Winter City forever.
But the lady who ranked higher was the first Fatui executive to be killed. When she was in Inazuma, she was killed instantly by General Raiden with one sword. Of course, the lady had already been defeated by the Traveler by then, and her strength was not much left. However, she was arrogant and reckless, so she was finally killed.
The lady's good colleagues, the other Fatui executives were worried that she would be lonely, so they held a meeting in front of her coffin. The [girl] even sang while hugging her coffin! The [girl] must have sung a funeral song! Hmm!
Although the lady was sent away during the Inazuma period, she was already dead as the Witch of Fire about five hundred years ago. Rosaline is now filled with anger and hatred.
The witch set that players often brush is the gold coins dropped by ladies.
Rosaline was not the resentful, cynical and cold-hearted person she is now. She used to love singing and had rich and tender emotions, such as admiration. Unfortunately, the person she loved died, and Rosaline turned evil. She was good at using the element of fire, so she spontaneously combusted and became a pitiful and terrifying monster.
The lady also has the evil eye, but her evil eye is of ice attribute, which suppresses the fire of anger and heat in her body.
Now [Doctor] asks the lady to help with shopping, and the bored lady becomes interested in shopping and decides to go to the auction.
…………
The people who came to the auction were either rich or noble, and they all dressed appropriately and formally. Lin Ye Shen He and Sha Tang were dressed casually, and their clothes looked out of place.
However, Lin Ye and Shen He are able to surpass the others in terms of temperament, and Satang also has a unique charm.
There will be waiters waiting in front of the auction venue.
A waiter saw that Lin Ye and the others were unfamiliar, so he stepped forward and asked if it was their first time.
First-time guests are required to go through registration procedures and have their assets assessed.
Lin Ye calmly took out the black card representing Changhong Bank. After the waiter recognized it, he smiled and asked Lin Ye to fill in the formalities.
After completing the formalities, Lin Ye became a VIP and had an exclusive box.
Sucrose saw the power of money, but she was more concerned about the alchemical materials. She asked the waiter for the auction list, and after reading it, she breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Lin Ye.
“It’s all here.”
Lin Ye heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.
In order to get free drinks, Lin Ye Shenhe and Shatang waited for the auction to officially begin.
In the box next to Lin Ye, the lady led four members of the Fatui, also waiting boredly for the start.
This was Lin Ye’s first time at an auction and he felt quite curious. In the fantasy novels he had read, there would always be scenes involving auctions. The plot was often that after the protagonist made a purchase, he would be followed by someone who wanted to kill people and rob the goods, but was eventually killed by the protagonist.
After the auction started, Sugar selected the alchemical materials needed for the auction, while Lin Ye and Shen He drank their drinks silently. They didn't understand this.
The process went smoothly, mainly because Lin Ye's Mora was in place. Although Sucrose wanted to save money, she learned the amount of money in the black card from Lin Ye, and when she looked at the alchemical materials that she had always wanted to get, she had no scruples when bidding with others.
However, when it came to a key alchemical material, someone was fighting fiercely with sugar.
Lin Ye's spirits perked up. Here it comes. This is a routine he knows. Whenever the protagonist buys something from the auction, there will be someone competing with him for something.
The lady next door was curious about who the rich man was, so she started a dispute with her. The lady purchased according to the doctor's list, and everything went smoothly at first. Those who competed with her gave up after a few rounds.
Although there is no Northland Bank in Mondstadt, the operating expenses of the Fatui executive officers are all reimbursed by the "rich", and it is not their own money that is spent, so the lady does not feel bad at all.
The lady did not care about [the doctor’s] commission;
As a result, an alchemical material worth 5 million Moras soared to 30 million Moras.
Everyone present gasped and exclaimed how horrifying it was.
Mora was not blown by the wind. After all, Mora was created by the rock god Morax, not their wind god.
"Should we continue?" Sutang felt painful for the price of 20 million Mora and looked at Lin Ye, seeking his opinion.
Lin Ye thought about it, if he were Lin Xiaofeng, for Mu Xiaojin...hmm.
This time, Lin Ye raised the price by directly pressing the bell for an increase of 10 million Mora.
Suddenly, there was an uproar.
Some people who claimed to be gentlemen could not help but whisper Mond swear words.
So rich?
The lady was stunned, and then she was about to frantically press the bell to increase the price by 20 million Mora, when a quick-eyed and quick-handed Fatui member stopped her.
"My Lady! We are running out of funds for this activity!"
When the lady heard this, her fingertips were just one centimeter away from the bell button.
The activity funding and the like are lies. The Fools have [rich people] and have never been poor, but ladies also need to take into account the feelings of [rich people] who complain.
Fifty million Mora is nothing to the [rich], but the [rich] will feel like they are being cheated and will definitely feel bad.
After that, the prodigal son [young master] in the [rich man’s] mind was no match for the [lady] who could spend money.
The lady quickly calmed down. After all, she and the [rich man] were colleagues. In order to prevent the [rich man] from cutting expenses on activities in the future, the lady mercifully ended her competition with Lin Ye.
But the lady wants to see, which rich man dares to compete with the fools, listen to the sound of the bell, is it coming from next door?
Could it be that righteous man?
At this time, Lin Ye had no idea that he had made an enemy with the lady, nor did he know whether his competitor was the Fatui or the lady with big breasts and a mean heart.
However, even if he really came into a fight with the lady, Lin Ye would not panic. He estimated his own strength. Even if he couldn't beat her, he could still run away. He would then go to the Knights of Favonius. Lin Ye didn't believe that the lady would dare to turn against Mondstadt before getting the Heart of God.
After buying all the high-level alchemical materials he needed, Lin Ye filled in his address, and someone from the auction would deliver them to his door.
Lin Ye stretched lazily. He spent so much Mora tonight, but it was not his, so Lin Ye just felt it was a string of numbers and did not feel anything.
Lin Ye and others left the auction, and Shatang wanted to say goodbye to Lin Ye.
"Wait a moment." Lin Ye said.
Lin Ye and Shen He looked at each other and understood what each other was conveying.
Being followed.
Chapter 214 Old Auntie
Who is the stalker?
Lin Ye guessed that it was the neighboring competitor at the auction. Was he angry out of shame? Was he not as good as me in terms of money? Was he anxious?
If it were in his previous life, if Lin Ye found himself being followed by an unknown person, he would be nervous and run to a crowded place.
In this life, Lin Ye can take on the role of a tracker. After all, when he was a bandit in Ao Zang Mountain, tracking and following was a professional quality!
In addition, Lin Ye had some confidence in his own strength. There were not many masters in Mondstadt, and Grand Commander Falga took four-fifths of the knights away on the expedition. In Lin Ye's impression, the only evil forces in Mondstadt were the Fatui and the Cult of the Abyss, and the latter had not yet sneaked into Mondstadt.
Therefore, the most powerful enemy Lin Ye faces is the Fatui.
"What's wrong?" asked Sugar in confusion.
"How about walking around?" Lin Ye asked himself.
Shatang was stunned for a moment, but she was not stupid. She realized that Lin Ye meant something and suddenly became nervous. She stopped the urge to look around, hummed, and chose to believe Lin Ye and Shen He.
After the auction ended, it was already late and there were not many people on the street, so Lin Ye deliberately walked towards a remote alley.
In the alley, Lin Ye suddenly felt a slight breeze behind him.
Without any hesitation, Lin Ye kicked back and kicked the debt collector who wanted to launch a sneak attack without using martial ethics directly away.
Shen He also reacted. Unlike Lin Ye who kicked away, Shen He turned slightly, grabbed the debt handler's arm with one hand, and turned his wrist slightly. There was a click, and that was not over yet. Shen He grabbed the debt handler's head with his other hand and smashed it down hard.
"Bang" sound.
The debt collector's eyes rolled back and he fainted on the spot. Even if his skull was not broken, he would have suffered a severe concussion.
This set of movements is smooth and natural.
Sandang gave the weakest feeling and did not attract a sneak attack from the debt handler. Her petite body stayed beside Shen He, trembling and completely stunned.
Shen He's expression remained unchanged, as if she was used to it. In the past, when she dealt with people who pestered her with bad intentions, she used this most convenient way of "dealing with" them.
Simple and straightforward, no need to talk, and especially worry-free.
At this time, the sound of high heels tapping on the floor came from outside the alley.
Lin Ye narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the person who came. He guessed it would be [Madam], so he was not too surprised. He felt a little sad that his meeting with [Madam] was also a surprise attack by the debt handler.
However, the current Lin Ye is much stronger than Yingmei, who just arrived in Mondstadt and mastered the power of an element. The sneak attack is useless against Lin Ye!
"You do have some skills." The lady snorted coldly. She first glanced at everyone with disdain, then realized something and glanced at Lin Ye a few more times.
The lady remembered that in the list given to her by the split monster [Doctor], there was a photo attached, and it seemed to be the boy in front of her.
"Excuse me, Auntie, what is your name? Why did you stop the three of us?" Lin Ye clasped his fists and asked politely.
"Auntie?" The lady was stunned.
"Um...Auntie?" Lin Ye asked tentatively.
