Chapter 417: Tartaglia: Let Lumine become a Harbinger?
Yes, what kind of help could he offer her?
For a moment, Lumine couldn't think of anything either.
The relationship between her and the Fatui was not only poor, but also fraught with significant conflict; she had even caused trouble for some Fatui in the wild.
Whenever she encountered the Fatui bullying others, Lumine would step in to deal with them.
As a result, having to ask the Fatui for help now left Lumine feeling conflicted. If she were asked to turn a blind eye to the Fatui's misdeeds later, she absolutely would not do it.
After all, in Lumine's view, no matter how close someone was to her, if they did something wrong, she would have to stop them.
Even if it were her own brother, Lumine wanted to defeat him so he could properly atone for his sins.
What the Abyss Order was doing was wrong, and it had to be stopped!
No matter who did something wrong, even if that person was her brother, she could not accept it.
"If you help Lumine become one of the Qixing, she can give you a fair chance later, at least so you won't be targeted in every way like you are now," Seeing Mu Yang said, implying something. "The Fatui have indeed done many bad things."
"This is true in both Sumeru and Inazuma. Even you would find it hard to deny these things, right?"
"Indeed!" Tartaglia nodded in deep agreement. "Even I cannot forgive what Scaramouche and Dottore have done. If they weren't fellow Fatui Harbingers, and if I weren't unable to beat them, I wouldn't have let them off either."
Tartaglia couldn't empathize with what Scaramouche had done, so he could ignore it; after all, that was Inazuma's business.
He was from Snezhnaya, and that was enough.
It was just that Scaramouche had interfered with their acquisition of the Gnosis, and there was a possibility of triggering a war between Snezhnaya and Inazuma, which was something Tartaglia had to care about.
But what Dottore had done was different; that guy never viewed people as living beings.
If he weren't a Fatui Harbinger himself, he would probably have to worry about when his younger siblings might become Dottore's research subjects.
Dottore didn't care about the lives of the people of Snezhnaya either, and he wondered how the Jester had ever found him.
Fortunately, Dottore was dead now; it was truly a cause for universal celebration.
Lumine's mouth twitched slightly; for some reason, she felt that this Tartaglia was unexpectedly straightforward.
Could it be that the Fatui weren't all bad people?
"Because of those events, the Fatui have been heavily targeted. If Lumine becomes a Fatui Harbinger, she won't be able to give you too much help or special treatment; that is a given."
"Otherwise, the other Liyue Qixing wouldn't sit idly by, and she might end up being targeted just like the previous Qixing."
"But she can provide you with a relatively fair environment, which I believe is what the Fatui and the Northland Bank need most right now," Seeing Mu Yang said, implying something.
"Is that so?" Tartaglia nodded thoughtfully. "That seems to make a lot of sense. However, this isn't something I can decide, nor is it something that guy currently at the Northland Bank can decide."
"This requires internal discussion within the Fatui."
"After all, this concerns many matters of our Snezhnaya."
"Hmm, after all, that Zhiyi is a pawn of Pantalone," Seeing Mu Yang nodded in deep agreement. "If you want to deal with Zhiyi, you do indeed need Pantalone's approval."
"What?" Tartaglia was completely dumbfounded at this moment.
That Zhiyi, whom Seeing Mu Yang considered Lumine's rival, was actually Pantalone's pawn?
Why he himself did not know, he could not say, but looking at Seeing Mu Yang's expression, it seemed he had known for a long time.
And he was saying it out loud now—what did this mean?
Was he threatening Pantalone?
Tartaglia's mind was racing; his brain wasn't exactly sharp, but it wasn't completely useless either.
He naturally understood Seeing Mu Yang's meaning: the pawn Zhiyi could no longer be used. If Pantalone was reluctant to part with Zhiyi, Ningguang might use this as a pretext to make trouble later.
After all, Seeing Mu Yang was ostensibly Ningguang's advisor.
He just didn't know when Seeing Mu Yang had gotten involved with their Snezhnaya.
Is it such a big deal that Liyue has beauties!?
Is this bullying them because Snezhnaya has no beauties!?
Just kidding. One must know that their Tsaritsa is definitely one of the top beauties on the Teyvat continent. But he couldn't think like that; he was loyal to the Tsaritsa!
But thinking about it carefully, it seemed Seeing Mu Yang was indeed worthy of their Tsaritsa.
Wait!
Suddenly, Tartaglia looked at Lumine not far away. It seemed Lumine was also quite a beauty, and her strength was decent. If he could pull Lumine into the Fatui, becoming a Harbinger wouldn't be a problem.
Then, if he made Lumine Seeing Mu Yang's woman, wouldn't the Fatui and Seeing Mu Yang be linked together?
While Tartaglia's thoughts were flying, Zhong Li and Zhong Kui exchanged a subtle glance.
That guy Pantalone really would stop at nothing.
Even now, Pantalone was still thinking about how to infiltrate Liyue, even interfering in the competition for the Liyue Qixing. This was enough to make Zhong Li and Zhong Kui unhappy.
They would have to properly discipline Snezhnaya later; did they really think Liyue had no temper!?
【Zhong Li: "Ningguang, Zhiyi is a spy for Snezhnaya. Investigate him thoroughly later."
"If you find evidence, use it to properly discipline Snezhnaya."
Ningguang: "I've already had people investigating. Zhiyi is indeed colluding with the Fatui ambassador Yosupov."
"However, I still want to catch more fish, so I haven't taken action against Zhiyi yet."
Zhong Li: "Since that's the case, keep observing. The pressure on the Northland Bank cannot be reduced."
Venti: "Ehe, old man, you eat from the Northland Bank and drink from the Northland Bank, yet you don't hold back when suppressing them!"
"If Tartaglia knew, he'd probably cry to death!"
Seeing Mu Yang: "Tartaglia shouldn't care. After all, the Northland Bank is Pantalone's property, although it is true that the Northland Bank has provided a large amount of funds for the Fatui."
"By the way, focus the investigation on Yosupov's adjutant, Teofan."
Ningguang: "Does this Teofan have a special identity? I understand. I will investigate him later!"
"By the way, Snezhnaya previously submitted an application to us, wanting to explore The Chasm together with us. Should we reject it?"
Zhong Li: "When was this?"
Ningguang: "About three days ago, but it only reached my hands this morning."
"They seem interested in something beneath The Chasm, and are willing to sacrifice the lives of Fatui soldiers for it."
"If I didn't know what was under The Chasm, I would probably be tempted too."
Can The Chasm be moved so easily?
That is the entrance to the Abyss, and also the place where the Geo Archon and the others farm points. It seems that ever since he entered the chat group, the Geo Archon hasn't gone to the Guili Plains to farm points, but has been in The Chasm, farming all the points there.
From this, one can see how rich the Abyssal energy is there.
It can even be described as endless. ===== CHAPTER 419 =====
