Chapter 65 - Chapter 65

Oh, Albedo Gege, you've come at just the right time!

Klee doesn't have enough bombs today!

I wanted to make more, but the gunpowder ratio always feels a bit off... Klee still needs a lot of bombs tomorrow.

Klee said, shaking Albedo's arm, her voice soft and full of anticipation: "Albedo Gege, if you're not busy, can you help Klee make some more bombs?"

Albedo: "..."

"Let me see your bomb."

Albedo said, picking up Klee's bomb and examining it.

In an instant, Albedo realized this was just an ordinary bomb.

It lacked the destructive aura of the original.

For a moment, Albedo fell into contemplation.

Klee and Lin Mo are close.

And Klee's bombs are connected to that strange destructive aura.

He needed to figure out if it was a coincidence or if there was something more to it.

Thinking of this, Albedo sighed softly.

Looking at Klee, who was watching him expectantly, Albedo raised his hand and ruffled her soft golden hair, smiling slightly: "We'll talk about the bombs later. First, I have a few questions for you."

Hearing that the bombs could be 'discussed later,' Klee instantly cheered up, her little face full of anticipation, and she nodded obediently: "Okay!"

"Today, the Adventurers' Guild sent me a Whopperflower corpse. Katheryne told me you brought it back. Did you deal with this Whopperflower?"

Albedo asked directly.

"Yes."

Hearing Albedo's words, Klee nodded without hesitation: "Klee blew it up. Klee threw several bombs, and that monster was blown down."

Albedo watched Klee silently, his golden eyes flickering slightly.

His gaze fell on the excited Klee.

Watching her proudly and unguardedly admit, 'Klee blew it up,' Albedo didn't show the slightest surprise.

Instead, he narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke thoughtfully.

"Klee."

Albedo's tone was gentle, but his gaze became a bit more serious: "Are you sure... it was just an ordinary bomb?"

Klee froze for a moment, blinked, and tilted her head slightly: "Eh? Yes, it's the kind of bomb Klee always uses."

Albedo sighed softly, extended his finger, and gently gestured in the air, quickly simulating a scene in his mind.

"Ordinary bombs, even Pyro bombs, can indeed cause significant damage to Whopperflowers."

Albedo said slowly, "But the problem is that Whopperflowers are mimetic monsters, especially Cryo Whopperflowers, which have extremely high elemental resistance."

"Pure Pyro attacks are simply not enough to blow it up into that state in a short time."

"The outer layer of the petals of special Whopperflower monsters has an extremely strong resistance, capable of withstanding explosion impacts for a short time. With your control over your Pyro Vision, you couldn't have made the Whopperflower suffer so badly."

Speaking of this, his gaze lowered slightly, staring into Klee's eyes, and he said slowly: "So, your bombs... are not ordinary."

Hearing Albedo's words, Klee's heart skipped a beat.

She clenched her small hands, trying to appear nonchalant, but her expression stiffened for a moment.

Albedo observed her reaction without a change in expression and continued: "Moreover, it's not just this Whopperflower; the bomb explosion at Cider Lake before also had far greater power than usual."

"That bomb was made by me personally."

Albedo said softly, with a hint of certainty in his tone: "I can be very sure that its original power was far from that level."

Klee's little face instantly fell, her mouth slightly agape, but she didn't know what to say.

She had admitted to the Cider Lake bomb.

She had been confined for a whole day.

And now Albedo Gege had discovered this.

"Have your bombs been modified by someone?"

Albedo continued to ask, his voice still calm and gentle.

Klee's little face instantly crumpled.

Albedo Gege is so smart; he's already figured out the reason.

And when Albedo saw Klee's expression, he nodded slightly, a guess forming in his mind.

Klee's bombs are related to Lin Mo.

Thinking of this, Albedo said softly: "Is it related to Lin Mo?"

As soon as this question left his lips, Klee's heart thumped, and her pupils constricted slightly.

Klee's face instantly became even more flustered.

Her small hands instinctively went behind her back, her toes anxiously drawing circles on the ground.

Like a child who had done something wrong, she dared not look into Albedo's eyes at all.

Her silence had already confirmed the answer for Albedo.

"It really is him."

Albedo sighed softly, as if he had expected it, but the contemplation in his brows deepened a bit.

He straightened up, the smile on his face fading slightly, and his tone became more serious: "Klee, Mondstadt has been very dangerous recently, do you know that?"

"Eh?"

Klee suddenly looked up, her face full of confusion: "Dangerous?"

"Because the successive explosions have already attracted the attention of Acting Grand Master Jean."

"And the bomb traces at Starfell Lake have even made Kaeya rush over to investigate."

Albedo said slowly, scrutinizing Klee's changing expression: "Eula also sent a message."

"Kai, Kaeya Gege?!"

Klee was stunned.

"Hmm." Albedo nodded, his expression grave: "The impact of this matter is more serious than you imagine."

"If the power of the bombs gets out of control, it could hurt many people."

"And in Mondstadt... too many people have already noticed this matter."

"Ah?"

Hearing this, Klee scratched her head, looking bewildered: "Bombs... are they really that serious?"

Aren't they just bombs?

How could they attract attention?

She only wanted to make the bombs more powerful to fish, but she never thought it would affect so many people around her.

"I'm not blaming you."

"And these are all very obvious signs."

"You don't need to feel like you're hiding information, because there's no point in hiding it."

"Because Lin Mo doesn't care; otherwise, there's no reason he wouldn't deal with the residual aura after the explosion."

"I just want to understand the situation and how to invite him to join the Knights of Favonius."

"Can you tell me how you met Lin Mo?"

Seeing the somewhat bewildered Klee, Albedo rubbed his temples: "As far as I know, he's a genius swordsman in Mondstadt and an Adventurer from the Adventurers' Guild. How did you come to interact with him?"

"Klee was surrounded by Hilichurls and wolves outside Mondstadt."

Hearing Albedo's words, Klee scratched her head: "Then I met Lin Mo Gege. Lin Mo Gege's swordsmanship is amazing; he dealt with the wolves in just a few moves. Klee thinks it's even better than Acting Grand Master Jean's swordsmanship."

"Swordsmanship even better than Acting Grand Master Jean's?"

Hearing Klee's words, Albedo's eyes showed surprise.

He looked at Klee with a hint of suspicion.

Is it real or fake?

However, considering that Klee wouldn't lie to him, and Lin Mo's reputation, this explanation was plausible.

He hadn't expected Lin Mo to save Klee once.

"Then Lin Mo Gege helped Klee, so Klee took Lin Mo Gege to Starfell Lake to fish."

"After Lin Mo Gege touched Klee's bombs, they became very, very powerful."
