Chapter 453

Lumine expressed that she wanted to help Mu Yang solve those worries; Sumeru is clearly a loophole, and she wants to help Mu Yang solve it.

Perhaps in Irminsul, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata has quite a few subordinates, maybe even legendary Pokémon, but solving enemies and hidden dangers is never wrong.

Therefore, in this operation, Lumine also showed amazing strength.

And Lumine's strength was also seen by some forces that paid special attention to her.

Just as Mu Yang and Lumine thought, Pierro had indeed been paying attention to Lumine.

"Pierro, the person you asked us to pay attention to now has strength comparable to a weak god. Are you sure we can still win her over later?

She has killed quite a few of our people!

Any Fatui who stayed in Sumeru, as long as they were encountered by her, were dead; she didn't even give them a chance to speak or surrender." In a meeting within the Fatui, Arlecchino said to Pierro full of dissatisfaction.

Although Arlecchino has chosen to defect to Mu Yang now, as the manager of the House of the Hearth, Arlecchino actually cares quite a bit about the life and death of the Fatui.

At least she doesn't want to see them make meaningless sacrifices.

Of course, the most critical thing is that Arlecchino wants to test Pierro's attitude.

During this time, Arlecchino has also had quite a few small actions, and whether Pierro knows about these small actions and what his reaction is, this is what Arlecchino cares about very much.

Pierro was also silent upon hearing this. According to his agreement with Aether, he needed to give Lumine some stimulation and let the Fatui Harbingers give Lumine some training.

For this, Pierro had even prepared to sacrifice a few Harbingers who didn't listen to him, dying at Lumine's hands.

This would be good for Lumine, give Aether an explanation, and make it easier for him to control the Fatui.

But now, Lumine's behavior of slaughtering the Fatui at every turn also made Pierro silent.

Moreover, the other party's intelligence capability is too terrifying; even if the Fatui hide in the desert, they can find the Fatui in the first instance.

Is there a traitor on his side?

Or does the other party have a way to deal with the Fatui?

Pierro scanned all the Harbingers present and fell into deep thought; the current plot seems to be a bit inconsistent with what he had planned at the beginning.

I don't know if the Tsaritsa is like him now, influenced by the Abyss?

Tsaritsa, you said you want to fight against the Heavenly Principles, but your strength is not enough; only the Abyss can deal with the Heavenly Principles!

In Pierro's eyes, the Tsaritsa is a person who is easy to control and easy to deceive.

Even though the Tsaritsa is a good god, even he, a Khaenri'ahn, highly recognizes such a god.

If Khaenri'ah hadn't been destroyed, perhaps Pierro would also recognize the Tsaritsa.

But Khaenri'ah is gone, and a Teyvat without Khaenri'ah has no meaning to exist.

Why can the people of the Seven Archons' nations live, and why can't the people of Khaenri'ah live?

This is unfair!

Just because they have the Seven Archons, and just because Khaenri'ah brought the Abyss?

This is unfair; even without Khaenri'ah, the Abyss would still come to Teyvat!

However, he still needs to hide now. Pierro doesn't intend to expose his true face; even in front of high-level Fatui like Arlecchino, Pierro intends to hide his face.

He doesn't know whether Arlecchino is on his side or the Tsaritsa's side.

Oh, no, to be precise, Arlecchino is no one's person. For Arlecchino, stopping that ridiculous prophecy in Fontaine is the most important thing.

Whoever can help Arlecchino solve that problem, Arlecchino can work for anyone.

But Pierro said he couldn't solve this problem, and the Tsaritsa didn't seem to be able to solve this problem either!

It's impossible to let the Tsaritsa go to Fontaine and explode the power of the Cryo Archon to freeze all the seawater in Fontaine, right?

From then on, Fontaine belongs to Snezhnaya?

Hmm, think about it carefully; if the Tsaritsa has this ability, it doesn't seem impossible. If the Hydro Archon Focalors cannot protect the people of Fontaine, then as a transaction, it can really be traded from Focalors for what he wants.

But now the Tsaritsa is not in her prime state either.

Moreover, Pierro cannot let the Tsaritsa appear outside; if the Tsaritsa comes out, wouldn't he be exposed?

In the current Snezhnaya, there are still quite a few Harbingers who are actually loyal to the Tsaritsa; they don't follow him.

If he tells them what he did to the Tsaritsa, at least half of the Fatui would fight him to the death.

Even Pierro doesn't know whether to be happy or helpless; the faith in the Tsaritsa in Snezhnaya has no problems, and he has made good use of it.

"The warriors of Snezhnaya have no reason to retreat in the face of difficulties." After hesitating for a while, Pierro still said: "Moreover, Sandrone has already headed to Sumeru."

Arlecchino frowned upon hearing this: "Sandrone, can she do it?

You know, the strength of that Traveler is probably not inferior to a god; even if I encounter the Traveler, I might not be able to win."

A smile appeared on Pierro's face: "Perhaps Sandrone's strength is not as good as that Traveler, but as long as the Lesser Lord Kusanali of Sumeru doesn't take action, there is no problem for Sandrone to leave.

Moreover, there are countless mechanisms in the desert of Sumeru. Sending Sandrone over this time is actually for those mechanisms. If Sandrone can cleverly use those mechanisms, even the Traveler will find it difficult to defeat Sandrone."

Arlecchino nodded slightly upon hearing this; she also expressed confidence in Sandrone's ability to control mechanisms.

It's not that she wants Sandrone to defeat the Traveler or anything, but she is just concerned about Sandrone.

Since becoming a Fatui Harbinger, Arlecchino has also investigated some Fatui Harbingers; Sandrone is Arlecchino's main investigation object.

Sandrone seems to be from Fontaine like her, and she seems to be related to the Narcissenkreuz Ordo five hundred years ago.

The other party might be related to the previous Hydro Archon, which also makes Arlecchino care very much about Sandrone.

Over the years, Sandrone seems to be interested in the research results of the late researcher Dr. Mosso of the Fontaine Research Institute, ordering her subordinates to look for his information and entrusting it to her. Clearly, this is very important to Sandrone.

Although Sandrone's strength is not as good as hers, Sandrone's ability is very special. If Sandrone is willing to help her, help Fontaine, perhaps it is not impossible to save Fontaine.

Perhaps after this incident is over, she should have a good talk with Sandrone.

I don't know if it's her illusion, but Arlecchino feels that the time in the prophecy is coming soon, maybe in less than half a year.

"Alright, Knave, we must also show trust in the Jester." At this time, Pulcinella said meaningfully to Arlecchino.

Unlike other Fatui Harbingers with vague positions, Pulcinella is solidly on Pierro's side.

Although he might not know what Pierro is planning to do, for Pulcinella, this doesn't seem very important; he just needs to support Pierro.

After all, many things he usually does wouldn't be recognized by the Tsaritsa, and Pierro is the one covering for him.

"Hmph, it's not that I don't trust the Jester, but some things are of great importance.

The Traveler will be in Fontaine soon, and I need more information about her.

Moreover, the Traveler seems to be related to that Mu Yang, right?" Arlecchino snorted and said pointedly.

At this, Pulcinella was also silent; Arlecchino indeed didn't do anything wrong in this regard.

If it were him, he would also ask Pierro for information about the Traveler.

"The Traveler's strength is improving rapidly. Arlecchino, you should be careful later; don't go to Fontaine and find out you are not the Traveler's opponent. That person doesn't have any good feelings for our Fatui." The Regrator also said pointedly at this time.

Although they don't know why the Traveler is so ruthless to the Fatui, they haven't really provoked Lumine, have they?

It is said that Childe and Lumine have a pretty good relationship; in Does Does Liyue, Childe even helped Lumine fight against a god.

Thereby earning a favor from the Traveler.

For this, that guy Childe almost lost half his life.

However, regarding Childe's behavior, others actually supported it; after all, this is a favor from Lumine. Regardless of the other party's identity, just considering Lumine's future strength, if they don't intend to kill her, befriending her is inevitable...

Even the Regrator didn't care at all about Childe using his Mora to befriend Lumine.

He does like Mora, but if this Mora can play a corresponding role, the Regrator is still very willing to take it out.

"Has anyone of you provoked her?" Pierro also rubbed his head.

He naturally wouldn't provoke Lumine. Originally, he wanted to use Signora to stimulate Lumine, and then let Lumine kill Signora.

But he didn't expect Mu Yang to kill Dottore and Scaramouche directly.

The Fatui's high-level combat power suffered heavy losses. At this time, Pierro naturally wouldn't go and kill Signora.

It's no problem that Signora doesn't recognize him.

In Pierro's view, as long as Signora is loyal to the Tsaritsa, it's fine.

As everyone knows, he, Pierro, is the Tsaritsa's number one confidant; as long as one is loyal to the Tsaritsa, they will recognize him, Pierro, and work for him.

"Perhaps this matter is related to Mu Yang? It could also be related to Scaramouche and Dottore." After pondering for a moment, Arlecchino reminded Pierro.

"Although Dottore and Scaramouche are dead now, you must know what they did in various countries, right?

What's more, that Traveler is now an Honorary Knight of Mondstadt, a Tianshu of Does Does Liyue, and a General of Inazuma.

Now she knows the Lesser Lord Kusanali of Sumeru; clearly, Lumine might also know what Dottore did in Sumeru.

In those countries, except for Does Does Liyue, Dottore has offended them all miserably." Arlecchino snorted coldly.

For Dottore, even Arlecchino didn't have a good attitude.
