"Alright, we'll help you figure something out these next few days. How much we can gather is unknown, but we should be able to get you at least sixteen hundred."
Lyney promised, even though he didn't understand the meaning of that number, but over a thousand wasn't too difficult to get.
He knew for a fact that several children from the House of the Hearth had some, and he just needed to find a way to get them.
"As for you saying you want 'them' to help you too, I think your bargaining chip isn't enough!" Lyney frowned. This person was truly dreaming, wanting all the Fatui to help him get Primogems.
"Oh, it seems I really need to meet a few important people," Alex said, shaking his head. He truly didn't know how to get them to help him. The only one he knew who was easy to talk to was Childe Tartaglia.
Alex looked at Furina in the distance, as he needed to speak with Lyney and Lynette alone about magic secrets.
So, she was currently by the sea, playing with a sunbathing Blubberbeast.
Therefore, without beating around the bush: "The Damselette's servant, where is Marionette?"
Good heavens, Lyney exclaimed. This Alex was incredible, stringing together the Harbingers' names into a single sentence. And he didn't mention any of the male Harbingers.
"Preferably, could the Damselette's Marionette let me see her?" Alex really wanted to meet these two in advance.
He was already in Teyvat, and there was no Paimon saying, "Let's explore this area later." He didn't need to be limited to the known; exploring the unknown was fine.
"I can only contact Father. And are you sure you want to deal with her? For small matters like collecting Primogems, she probably won't bother with you, and neither will the others," Lyney said, shrugging his hands, indicating helplessness.
"Alright," Alex pouted… It was time for another monster-slaying session. After walking for a whole morning, Alex and the others still hadn't found a Ley Line overflow.
"At the end of that road ahead is Poisson. You can rest there for a moment," Lyney said, pointing to the intersection where pedestrians were coming and going.
"What do you mean?" Alex was puzzled. This seemed to imply… "Are you leaving?"
Lyney took off his hat and bowed: "Yes, I need to take Lynette back now."
"A day has already passed; we really should go back. We also have a new magic show to prepare, and we need to help you, don't we?"
"Although it's sudden, it's fine. Get those Primogems quickly! I'll be waiting for your good news." Alex stroked his chin: "Let me think, if it's hard to contact… Let's meet at the Opera Epiclese. When are you free?"
Lyney thought for a moment and gave a time limit: "Three days."
"Okay, then in three days," Alex nodded.
"No problem," Lyney also nodded. Their magic show was also in three days, so they would be near the Opera House all day and didn't ask for a specific time.
Lyney turned and started to leave. Lynette silently followed behind him.
Alex waved, and Furina beside him also waved goodbye.
"Wait!" Alex suddenly called out to the two.
After they turned around, Alex said to Lynette in the distance: "One more thing… Lynette, find some time to get a little kitty with me!"
"!!!" Lyney was alert. Why was that sentence so ambiguous? It shouldn't mean that, right? "My sister won't 'get' with you."
"I can, but you need to pass my special training first," Lynette, usually a woman of few words, replied.
Lyney paused. Good heavens! It was the rare Lynette special training.
It was a pity that he didn't know as much about cats as Lynette did; otherwise, Lyney definitely wouldn't want Lynette to interact with someone who had ideas about her, and he would have helped him himself.
As the two walked away and disappeared from sight, Alex couldn't help but sigh again.
