Speaking of this, Klee hesitated for a moment, thinking that Lin Mo hadn't asked her to keep it a secret, and Albedo had already investigated this far.
It seemed that proactively mentioning it wasn't out of the question.
She immediately continued in a low voice, "Then Klee pestered Brother Lin Mo to help make Klee's bombs even more powerful."
"Just as I hypothesized."
Hearing Klee's words, Albedo nodded slightly, his eyes showing no surprise.
He had already deduced this hypothesis.
He just wanted to confirm it with Klee.
Recalling the power of those bombs, Albedo continued to ask, "Then how did he do it? Is it convenient to say? It's okay if it's not convenient."
"I obtained the Whopperflower's corpse, and I also need to purchase from him."
"The Whopperflower's corpse is of great value. I will definitely have to meet him to discuss it, and then I can ask him about it."
"Hmm, Brother Lin Mo just touched it."
Hearing Albedo's words, Klee scratched her head, "He didn't really do anything."
Albedo: "??????"
Chapter 53: Acting Grand Master Jean's Astonishment: Klee is the Culprit? Why Didn't This Happen Before?
"He... just touched it?"
Albedo's voice suddenly paused for a moment.
A trace of extreme confusion flashed in his golden eyes.
He even blinked subconsciously, as if he had misheard.
He had originally thought that the sudden increase in Klee's bomb power might be due to Lin Mo using some special Alchemy, elemental resonance,
or even some deep-level energy fusion technique. But the result...
He just touched it?!
"Klee, are you serious?"
Albedo composed himself, trying to confirm again, "He didn't use any tools, nor did he perform any Alchemical processing?"
Klee looked at Albedo's shocked expression and shook her head innocently, "Mhm!"
"Brother Lin Mo really just touched it!"
"And then the bombs became more powerful, Klee thinks it's amazing too!"
Albedo: "..."
Albedo immediately fell into a brief contemplation.
His brows furrowed slightly, and his fingertips habitually rubbed his chin.
This completely defied logic.
Even Alchemy couldn't achieve this level.
Even he couldn't significantly improve an item's performance just by touching it.
This meant that Lin Mo possessed some extremely special ability.
And this ability could not be explained by traditional Alchemy or elemental manipulation.
Some unanalyzed power?
Or... was it a higher-level energy conversion?
Countless possibilities flashed through Albedo's mind.
While he was thinking, he also subconsciously recalled the Whopperflower's corpse—
The Whopperflower's corpse retained an unusual destructive energy, identical to the aura left at the scene of the Fatui elite's deaths in Mondstadt.
There was no source for this type of energy in Mondstadt's known system.
Had the Abyss Order discovered some unknown power?
But if it was an experiment, shouldn't they have gone somewhere else?
Why here in Mondstadt?
And even if it was here, it was so casual, even strengthening bombs for Klee and letting Klee play with them.
What was the purpose?
Moreover, if Lin Mo truly achieved this by "just touching it,"
then his abilities were far more mysterious and unpredictable than he had imagined.
Albedo's expression was unprecedentedly solemn.
"Who exactly is this guy?"
"Brother Albedo?"
Klee looked at Albedo, who was deep in thought, and couldn't help but tilt her head, her small face full of curiosity.
Albedo was pulled back to his thoughts by Klee's voice.
"It seems it's not suitable to make contact in the short term?"
Albedo fell into contemplation.
His first priority was to see if he could analyze the energy on the Whopperflower's corpse.
If he could analyze it, then it would be easy to deal with.
If he couldn't analyze it, he would definitely have to meet Lin Mo.
The other party had not shown the slightest trace of concealment, proving that he didn't care even if others knew about the lingering aura of the bombs.
If it were the Abyss Order, there would be no reason for them to do this.
At the very least, the lingering aura at the scene should have been cleared.
Or could it be that the power Lin Mo possessed was unrelated to the Abyss Order?
But if it was unrelated to the Abyss Order, how did the Fatui elites die inexplicably within Mondstadt City?
And with Delusions, no less.
Even he didn't believe Lin Mo could deal with these Fatui elites who possessed Delusions.
But if Lin Mo really was the one who solved it,
then Lin Mo's potential danger would significantly increase.
Albedo's gaze was profound as he sank into thought.
Then, Albedo came back to his senses.
He didn't ask Klee any more questions, but instead ruffled her head and smiled slightly, "You continue to be busy. When I'm free, I'll help you make some new bombs."
"Really?"
Hearing this, Klee's eyes immediately lit up, and she excitedly grabbed Albedo's arm, "Then Klee wants bigger bombs! More powerful bombs!"
"Mhm."
Albedo responded faintly.
He didn't give a clear answer.
But there was a hint of deeper meaning in his expression.
He stood up, adjusted his clothes, and turned to walk towards the door.
It seemed it was time to go have a good talk with Acting Grand Master Jean.
Acting Grand Master Jean's office was not far from Klee's room.
Knights of Favonius Headquarters.
Acting Grand Master Jean's Office.
The moonlight of the night streamed into the office through the tall windows.
Candlelight flickered, illuminating the heavy documents and maps.
The air was filled with a faint scent of ink and the rustling sound of papers.
Night had already fallen, and the streets of Mondstadt City gradually returned to peace.
Only the stationed Knights of Favonius were still patrolling, maintaining order in the city.
At this moment, Acting Grand Master Jean was engrossed in handling official business.
The documents on her desk were piled high, but she maintained her usual rigor and efficiency.
She took a sip of coffee and was about to continue working when Acting Grand Master Jean suddenly heard a knock at the door.
