Chapter 1042: Arlecchino's Brainstorming

"If you were truly loyal to the Tsaritsa, you wouldn't be capable of doing such things to a loyal subject like me.

I haven't seen you do anything for the Tsaritsa either," Tartaglia snorted coldly. "You even intend to trap me here."

Seeing Tartaglia in such a state, Arlecchino's gaze flickered slightly. It seemed Tartaglia also knew that something had gone wrong within Snezhnaya.

He even knew what kind of problems existed regarding this trip to Snezhnaya.

It was just that the person Tartaglia was targeting was Pierro, not the Tsaritsa. Clearly, the Tsaritsa also knew that Pierro had problems.

It was highly likely there would be a battle of wits and power between the two sides.

Under normal circumstances, Arlecchino wouldn't suspect the internal situation of Snezhnaya; after all, she hadn't even resolved the issues in Fontaine, so how could she have the time to manage Snezhnaya's affairs?

After all, Snezhnaya was not Fontaine, and in Arlecchino's heart, Fontaine was the most important.

Now that the flood problem in Fontaine had disappeared, she had the time to resolve other issues.

For example, the problems in Snezhnaya.

The Fatui and Snezhnaya were also a huge threat to Fontaine.

At least for the moment, it was a huge problem. The Tsaritsa's plan was only aimed at the Heavenly Principles and Celestia; she would not harm other nations. At least according to the intelligence Arlecchino had originally obtained, that was how the Tsaritsa had arranged it.

But plans change; perhaps the Tsaritsa herself did not know that Pierro would actually betray her.

There were some things she didn't know, but Tartaglia seemed to know something.

Arlecchino was well aware of this point. Although her rank as a Fatui Harbinger was higher than Tartaglia's, and on the surface, it seemed Arlecchino had more power than him.

But Arlecchino still had self-awareness; Tartaglia belonged to the Tsaritsa's inner circle, a loyal supporter.

She herself was not considered a true "insider" to the Tsaritsa, and Arlecchino was well aware of this.

If the Tsaritsa and Pierro had already fallen out, then she needed to plan accordingly. As long as internal strife occurred in Snezhnaya and the Tsaritsa and Pierro went to war, given the current situation in Snezhnaya, it was necessary to make Snezhnaya fall into chaos.

Whether from a rational perspective or other aspects, Arlecchino hoped the Tsaritsa would win.

And once Snezhnaya split or even went to war, it would be best for Fontaine.

During this period, she could also secure more benefits for Fontaine.

It was fortunate that the other Fatui Harbingers and the Tsaritsa did not know Arlecchino's thoughts; if they did, they probably wouldn't know how to react.

After all, the Tsaritsa considered herself to have been quite good to Arlecchino.

Even knowing that Arlecchino's heart was with Fontaine, the Tsaritsa had still bestowed her own authority upon Arlecchino, never treating her with the slightest unfairness, and even agreed to help Arlecchino resolve Fontaine's flood problem.

Yet Arlecchino, this double agent, still thought only of Fontaine, even going so far as to want to plunge Snezhnaya into internal chaos.

Of course, Arlecchino also knew that the Tsaritsa had to win; otherwise, if Pierro won, Teyvat would also fall into crisis.

Even at this moment, Arlecchino did not favor the Tsaritsa.

Although the Tsaritsa was the Cryo Archon and Snezhnaya was her nation, Pierro had controlled Snezhnaya for hundreds of years, and behind him stood Khaenri'ah.

Thinking of these possibilities, Arlecchino did not believe the Tsaritsa had much of a chance of winning.

It seemed she would also have to join the battle to help the Tsaritsa deal with Pierro.

On one hand, it was to repay a debt, and on the other, it was for Fontaine.

It seemed she needed to enter the game herself to help the Tsaritsa resolve some troubles.

Arlecchino's gaze flickered slightly as she looked at Tartaglia; this guy seemed to still have value to be utilized.

"Alright, I'll send you over first." Mu Yang glanced at Tartaglia, waved his hand, and Tartaglia's figure disappeared before everyone's eyes.

Focalors also spoke up at this time: "Then I shall leave first; I also need to go gather some intelligence."

After speaking, Focalors transformed from her Super Focalors state back into her Furina state, and her aura also returned to that of the original Furina.

Seeing this scene, Arlecchino became increasingly certain that the previous appearance was actually the true form of the Hydro Archon Focalors, while the Furina appearance was Focalors' disguise.

To be precise, Furina was likely using special means, or even her authority, to use her power to investigate various intelligence in Fontaine, and even carry out some plans.

Arlecchino agreed with this point.

In order to protect Fontaine, Focalors had dispersed her power, which also resulted in the usual Focalors not having much strength.

Although it was somewhat dangerous, if someone were to harm Focalors, she could still maintain her Archon state.

Arlecchino felt she might have found the truth.

But the more she knew the truth, the more she had to keep it secret for Focalors.

It would be bad if a powerhouse from the Abyss were to take advantage of the time when Furina had dispersed her power to harm Focalors.

Thinking of this, Arlecchino felt a wave of guilt; she had even scared Furina back then to test Focalors.

At that time, Furina probably didn't have much power left, and the reason she appeared afraid was because recalling her power was not an easy thing, nor could it be done in the blink of an eye.

Once she died, Fontaine would likely run into trouble, which was why Furina had shown that fearful side at the time.

This was something everyone would fear.

It seemed she had gone too far before.

However, because of her actions, it had given Focalors a reminder, leaving behind a portion of her power, and even taking out a Vision as an aid.

Although it was a bit strange for an Archon to use a Vision.

But for Focalors, who only had a portion of her power left, it was a huge boost.

With the help of the Vision, Focalors' strength was no longer weak.

Facing ordinary opponents, she was capable enough, at least enough to hold out until her power returned.

Thinking of this, Arlecchino couldn't help but sigh; Focalors was truly amazing!!

The divine power that had erupted before, in her view, was even above that of the Tsaritsa!
