Chapter 929: Tartaglia's Goal
"Mm!" Tartaglia nodded thoughtfully. Although his brain wasn't particularly sharp, he wasn't a complete idiot either.
It seemed he truly needed to pay Mr. Zhong Li a visit. He hadn't seen Mr. Zhong Li for 39 hours and twenty-seven minutes; he missed him!
What should he eat with Mr. Zhong Li this time?
Oh, right, Tonya had previously arranged for some Snezhnayan specialty delicacies to be sent to him. He hadn't even been able to bring himself to eat them; they would be perfect to bring to Mr. Zhong Li.
"I'm going to find Mr. Zhong Li first; we'll talk about this matter when the time comes." Tartaglia thought for a moment and continued to remind Arlecchino: "You should be careful yourself. If Pierro starts plotting against me, you will very likely be next."
"After all, to him, we are both unstable factors."
Having said that, Tartaglia strode outside.
Arlecchino frowned upon hearing this. This was indeed something she was worried about. That old dog Pierro would absolutely never rest; no one knew how he was currently thinking of persecuting her.
This resulted in Arlecchino not daring to go anywhere during this period.
It was fine here in Liyue; with the Geo Archon present, she wasn't afraid. Given the friendship between the Geo Archon and the Tsaritsa, the other party would protect her.
But once she left Liyue, she wouldn't necessarily have any guarantees.
Oh, right, there was also Mu Yang!
If their Fatui had Mu Yang's help, wanting to resolve these rebels like Pierro should be a very easy matter.
It was just a pity that although Mu Yang had already killed three Fatui Harbingers, he hadn't taken action himself to resolve Pierro. If Mu Yang wanted to, killing Pierro shouldn't be a difficult task. When the time came, the Tsaritsa emerging to set things right shouldn't be a problem.
Of course, Arlecchino actually understood the logic; it was likely that the Tsaritsa herself was unwilling to do so.
After all, no one knew now exactly how many people within the current Fatui were related to the Khaenri'ahns.
If they really did that, the entire Fatui would need to be thoroughly investigated, and perhaps even purged. After all, Pierro was the Director of the Fatui; if you really counted it up, almost all the Fatui were related to Pierro.
Arlecchino rubbed her head. There was no help for it; who let their Director have an incident?
Now she couldn't even return to Snezhnaya; everything was a bit difficult to handle. Should she go ask Mu Yang for help?
At worst, at worst, she could just play matchmaker between Mu Yang and her Tsaritsa.
Looking at the Tsaritsa's attitude, she seemed to trust Mu Yang very much as well.

Wanting to find Zhong Li was not a difficult task for Tartaglia. Before long, Tartaglia found Zhong Li drinking tea at the Three Cups 'o Drink.
"Mr. Zhong Li, so you're here!" Tartaglia greeted the people around him heartily, then sat down beside Zhong Li and smiled.
"Nothing to do today, the weather is just right. However, you seem to have something on your mind?" Seeing Tartaglia wanting to say something but finding it inconvenient to speak here, Zhong Li asked directly.
At the same time, he altered the surrounding space, making it impossible for the people around them to notice him and Tartaglia.
Well, he was Mr. Liyue after all; it wasn't worth being surprised that he knew such methods.
Sure enough, upon seeing this scene, Tartaglia revealed an 'as expected' look. This Mr. Zhong Li was truly miraculous.
However, Tartaglia didn't feel strange that Zhong Li could do this; this was an adeptus respected even by the Tsaritsa.
"Yes, regarding the situation of our Fatui, I suppose Mr. Zhong Li knows a thing or two, right?" Tartaglia asked with some helplessness.
Zhong Li nodded slightly: "I know a little."
Could it be that something had gone wrong inside the Fatui?
But he hadn't heard the Tsaritsa say anything in the chat group.
Currently, the Tsaritsa had already begun preparations; she now seemed able to quietly leave the ice coffin.
But it seemed nothing had happened, right?
"Mm, the headquarters previously sent a transfer order, telling me to head to Fontaine. As for what exactly I'm supposed to do, they didn't tell me; it seems they just want me to go to Fontaine. Do you think I should go?" Tartaglia asked, full of expectation.
Tartaglia truly admired Zhong Li.
Under Zhong Li's guidance, Tartaglia's martial arts had also made no small amount of progress.
Although Skirk was his master, in Tartaglia's heart, Mr. Zhong Li was also someone who was both a teacher and a friend to him.
He was someone he needed to admire.
Tartaglia had always been very respectful toward the strong.
"Go to Fontaine?" Zhong Li revealed a thoughtful look upon hearing this.
Even he didn't know at this moment what Pierro wanted Tartaglia to do by heading to Fontaine.
But he could analyze it through clues.
"The person in charge of the Fatui in Fontaine seems to be the Knave, Arlecchino, right?" Zhong Li asked Tartaglia after thinking for a moment.
"Yes, the Knave is the Fourth Harbinger of the Fatui and also the manager of the House of the Hearth.
However, to be honest, I don't dislike people who have their own plans.
After all, I joined the Fatui to gain more opportunities for battle. But this person, I don't like her. If betrayal could yield benefits, she would swing her sword at Her Majesty without mercy. There is only madness in her eyes." Tartaglia said after weighing his tone.
"Madness, is it?" Zhong Li nodded slightly upon hearing this. This child Tartaglia, although his brain wasn't particularly sharp, his intuition was quite accurate.
This point was actually very similar to Mu Yang's feeling.
Mu Yang had previously seemed to say that Arlecchino wasn't actually very reliable; this woman was a thorough lunatic.
Arlecchino had previously wanted to defect to Mu Yang.
However, Mu Yang himself felt that Arlecchino wasn't very reliable.
Perhaps this was also related to Arlecchino's childhood experiences; if it were anyone else with Arlecchino's experiences, they wouldn't be able to trust their own god either.
After all, in Arlecchino's view, their Hydro Archon Furina indeed couldn't be considered a very excellent god; she was just like a celebrity.
Back when she was persecuted by those damn nobles, she didn't see the Hydro Archon Furina come out to do anything.
Sometimes, faith is such a thing; the more one believes, the more one tends toward blackening once they discover their faith has collapsed...
It was already quite good that Arlecchino hadn't become Furina's lifelong hater.
And regarding this point, Furina expressed that she was also wronged; she even wanted to off herself for Fontaine's sake, where would she have the time to manage these trivial matters?
After all, for Fontaine, Arlecchino's affairs were truly not worth mentioning.
"Mm, I feel Arlecchino is a very crazy person, and I even suspect that Arlecchino and Pierro are collaborating; they might be about to make a move on Fontaine." After pondering for a moment, Tartaglia said to Zhong Li: "But I don't know why they called me over.
My strength is considered decent, but if they really want to make a move on a god, I don't seem to be enough."
Tartaglia's strength had also improved a lot during this period, but having fought Osial once, Tartaglia also understood that there was still a gap between him and a god.
And the Hydro Archon Furina, although not the original Hydro Archon, her strength shouldn't be bad.
He probably couldn't beat Furina yet. Of course, if he could challenge her, Tartaglia wouldn't refuse.
He was just worried about being used by Arlecchino and Pierro.
He was belligerent, that was true, but he wasn't a fool.
"The Hydro Archon Furina?" Zhong Li's mouth couldn't help but twitch. As one of the few people who knew the truth, he also knew about Furina.
He even held a lot of goodwill for her; the other party was just Furina's personality, which was to say, someone without any strength.
She still needed to pretend to be a god; although Furina could indeed be considered half a god, she had no power!
And that Furina could persist for five hundred years was already very commendable. Even a god would feel pain when facing erosion, let alone Furina. That five hundred years of pain, she had no one to tell.
Even as a human, this will was already comparable to a god's.
"That is indeed a very great existence." Thinking of this, Zhong Li couldn't help but sigh.
"Mr. Zhong Li, have you met that Furina?
I've heard that her evaluation among the people of Fontaine isn't particularly good, at least not like the Geo Archon and the Raiden Shogun.
I didn't expect Mr. Zhong Li to have such a high evaluation of her!" Hearing Zhong Li evaluate Furina this way, Tartaglia's face revealed an eager look.
There was no help for it; who let him have a belligerent personality.
Moreover, Mr. Zhong Li didn't even think much of the Geo Archon, often criticizing the Geo Archon, yet now he was praising the Hydro Archon Furina.
It seemed this Hydro Archon must be a very powerful and great god.
If there was a chance, he must challenge her.
"However, I also know that I am not Furina's match right now. If there is a chance, I want to challenge Fontaine's Iudex, Mr. Neuvillette." Tartaglia then said with burning eyes: "I heard he is the strongest in Fontaine besides the Hydro Archon Furina.
Such an existence, I imagine his strength won't be too weak."
Looking at Tartaglia like this, Zhong Li opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.
