Xingtie: My mission master joins the chat group.

"call!"

Sandonne exhaled. "You don't ask me, you ask me."

Where is Columbia?

"Why don't you go ask her?"

Sandonne laughed in exasperation. "If I knew where she was, would I be here asking you?"

Lin Mao said, "I'm not entirely sure either, but it's within the territory of the Frost Moon Child, within the area of ​​Xixi Island. You can try looking there."

"But why did you suddenly contact her?"

"Remind her to be careful not to die."

Sandonne said irritably, "My servant contacted me saying that Dotole has been keeping a low profile lately, and I suspect he's plotting something in secret, so he asked me to warn Colombia to be careful."

"The task of collecting the moon marrow was also ordered by Dottore to be carried out by the Fools."

"Dottore? You're asking for this? I thought you wanted lunar marrow research."

Lin Mao said.

Nordkare only has one Fools Executor, Sandone, who is also a scholar, making it hard not to associate the Fools' attempt to seize the Moon Marrow with her.

Sandonne curled his lip and said:

"Me? I established a base in Nordkalai simply to study the lunar moment force and the remnants of the ancient moon here."

"How many people here have seen me leave the base? Yet everyone is starting to suspect me."

"Lunar marrow...who cares about that piece of junk?"

"Want it?"

"?"

Sandonne looked up at Lin Mao, and in his outstretched palm, a sphere resembling the moon slowly emitted a soft light.

Sandonne was taken aback when he saw what Lin Mao was holding.

After a moment, her expression returned to calm. "It's fake."

“Pronia did not detect the power that the lunar marrow should have.”

Do you really think she won't be able to tell if you make a fake one?

Even if it were real, let alone fake, she wouldn't be tempted.

"Alright, we originally went out to find Columbia, but we were unexpectedly stopped by that kind of guy, wasting so much time outside, which has slowed down our research progress..."

After glancing at Lin Mao, who was silently dissipating the fake moon marrow, Sandone spoke:

"You should be able to get in touch with Columbia and tell her to be careful."

"Received, she will definitely know about your concern."

"It was the servant's concern for her; it had nothing to do with me."

Sandonne said solemnly.

Lin Mao nodded, "Understood, the servants' names should also be included, right?"

Sandoni: "..."

I have no desire to communicate with this kind of 'stupid person'.

"Pronia, let's go!"

Sandoni turned and walked away, but stopped after a short distance and turned back to ask a question.

"What question did you want to ask me? Since you helped pass on the message, I'll spare a little time to answer you."

Lin Mao was somewhat surprised that Sandoni would stop because of this.

"I just want to know, just how realistic are you?"

Lin Mao's question was unambiguous; he was genuinely curious about the realism of Sandone, or whether she was a pure human.

However, it doesn't quite resemble a human, and it also doesn't quite resemble a doll.

However, if it is a doll, you can't see any trace of what a doll should have.

Only the giant wind-up key in his back makes Sandonne look like a delicate wind-up doll.

The Black Tower figures have obvious mechanical structures at their joints such as shoulders, wrists, and knees, while Sandone lacks all of these features.

As Sandone said before, she would answer questions she wanted to answer, and naturally she wouldn't answer questions she didn't want to answer.

Unfortunately, Lin Mao's question fell into the category of those she didn't want to answer.

After hearing Lin Mao's question, Sandone said nothing and directed Pronia to leave the place that had trapped her for several days.

……

“Mr. Lin Mao,” Nefer said.

"Hmm? Go ahead." Lin Mao paused for a moment and looked at Nefer, waiting for her to continue.

Nefert hesitated, then said, "I've already agreed on the one million Mora with Ms. Alice, but what about your payment for this trip..."

"Didn't we agree that we wouldn't need to?"

Lin Mao shook his head.

"Even if you gave me Mora, I wouldn't be able to use it. The currency used in the area I'm active in isn't Mora, and besides, I tricked Frinina before... cough cough, I still have a lot of Mora that I earned before, but I have nowhere to put it, it's just taking up a room for nothing."

I heard about occupying a house from Möbius.

Mora has always been in her possession.

After all, it wouldn't be of any use to Lin Mao.

If you're craving food in Teyvat, just look for Nasita, Funina, or Grandma Obsidian.

Mora will not be lacking.

"If you really want to give it to me, you might as well spend money to improve the infrastructure of Naxia Town. Compared to giving it to someone like me who doesn't lack Mora, this is obviously more meaningful."

Lin Mao shrugged.

These remarks did not offend Nefer or make her think Lin Mao was pretentious; on the contrary, they strengthened her resolve to befriend him.

What's truly repulsive are people who don't put their words into action.

Since Lin Mao was willing to come and help Yakoda, someone she had only met once, Nefer wouldn't feel any aversion towards him.

"As for the information you want to know... well, I can only say that what I just dealt with was only one fragment of the Moon Hunter. It is possible that other fragments will regain their own consciousness and continue to pursue their own fragments in the Wild Hunt, just like he did."

“However…” Lin Mao glanced at the void where the Moon Hunter was sealed, “Even if he finds all the remaining fragments, he will never find this fragment that I have dealt with.”

His words were full of confidence.

Leaving aside whether he can regain consciousness, finding all the remaining fragments is no easy task.

Moreover, to become complete, it still needs to get past Lin Mao.

This is no simpler than facing the truth of the world.

"Alright, everyone." Alice clapped her hands. "I asked my old friends to 'work' for me in Nordcala while I was away, so I can't keep them waiting, or they'll start gossiping about me behind my back."

Let's say goodbye here!

Alice exploded with a 'bang,' and smoke billowed out. When the smoke cleared, a doll was left on the ground.

It looks like Dudu Ke.

"This is for you, as a token of our friendship."

Goodbye everyone!

"As expected of the legendary Witch's Guild..."

Nefer shook her head, glanced at Lin Mao, and seeing that he wasn't interested in the dolls, took a step forward...

A chill ran down Yakoda's neck as she picked up the Dudu doll.

My body trembled slightly.

This familiar feeling...

Yakoda turned around and, sure enough, Nefer was staring at her with a kind expression.

Yakoda looked distressed and presented the Dudu doll with both hands. Nefer checked it and, after confirming that there was nothing wrong, returned it to Yakoda.

"If you've got it, you can have it. Just be careful not to lose it; it's a priceless gift from a witch."

"Do you know Alice?"

Lin Mao asked in surprise.

How did Nefer know that Alice was a member of the Witch's Guild?

When she spoke with Alice before, she didn't show any sign that she knew Alice's identity.

Alice didn't mention it either.

After leaving, he immediately revealed Alice's background.

"..."
