Chapter 985: Tartaglia: Everyone is Targeting Me

~7 min read 1,283 words

Once bitten, twice shy.

The current Tartaglia was no longer the naive guy he was before.

Back then, Tartaglia thought Keqing wasn't strong, but the other party's strength was above his.

Tartaglia once thought Mu Yang had no strength and was just a pretty boy, but Mu Yang's strength exceeded everyone's expectations, and even the Doctor and the others suffered in Mu Yang's hands.

Even Diluc, whom he once looked down upon, was said to have become very strong now.

In the incident of the Stormterror's attack on Mondstadt, Diluc displayed astonishing strength. A preliminary estimate was that the strength Diluc burst out at that time was enough to rank in the top eight of the Fatui...

This also made Tartaglia very helpless. It seemed that without realizing it, many people's strength had been significantly improved.

Was it that he hadn't discovered they were strong before, and his eye for talent was problematic, or was it that the speed at which these guys became strong was somewhat unreasonable?

Despite expressing doubts about Clorinde's strength, Tartaglia still wanted to challenge her.

It was hard to challenge Furina. After all, she was the Archon of a country. Even if he was a Fatui Harbinger, naming and challenging the Hydro Archon was somewhat rude.

Some things could be done in the dark, but they couldn't be done in the open.

Neuvillette couldn't be challenged. After all, he was an existence that even the Tsaritsa needed to be wary of. He couldn't provoke Neuvillette at will.

But if it were Clorinde, it didn't seem impossible.

Moreover, Fontaine also had quite a few experts.

It was said that the Duke of the Fortress of Meropide, Wriothesley, had very good strength, and he also had strength not inferior to Clorinde's.

Besides that, the famous expert in Fontaine seemed to have become—Lyney...

This character made Tartaglia's heart very complicated.

Within the Fatui, Lyney was highly valued. It was said that Arlecchino even cultivated Lyney as her successor, and Lyney's strength was also quite extraordinary.

There were even rumors that as long as Lyney made a little more contribution, he could become a new Fatui Harbinger.

In other words, in the eyes of some people, he, Tartaglia, and Lyney were on the same level.

Tartaglia hadn't had the chance to see Lyney before, and Lyney also had Arlecchino behind him.

If he challenged Lyney at will, Arlecchino wouldn't sit idly by.

But now it was different. Although he, Tartaglia, was still only the eleventh seat, he now had the confidence to challenge the top five seats, or even challenge the fourth seat, Arlecchino.

Mu Yang: Nonsense, how many Fatui Harbingers have been wiped out by me? You've already laid flat and entered the top eight, okay? Work hard to enter the top five; isn't that a very normal thing? As long as you guys solve the internal chaos of the Fatui, even the top four isn't impossible!

He didn't know if he would have the chance to see Lyney after coming to Fontaine this time and have a good fight with him.

Tartaglia was imagining the future and did some disguise for himself, um, just putting on a trench coat and then turning up the collar to cover his face.

In Tartaglia's view, this was enough. After all, it was his first time coming to Fontaine. He wouldn't be targeted as soon as he arrived in Fontaine, right?

He wasn't the Doctor and the others, who were heinous and became the object of countless people's spurning.

He was an honorary citizen of Liyue, a proper good citizen, okay?

How could he capsize in the gutter in Fontaine?

It was just that what Tartaglia didn't expect was that before he even walked to the restaurant, he was intercepted by a group of people.

"Fatui Harbinger Childe Tartaglia, please come with us," Clorinde said to Tartaglia in a serious tone.

"Who are you?" Tartaglia searched for the other party's identity in his mind: "Fontaine's Duelist, Clorinde?"

He never expected that he hadn't even gone to find Clorinde yet, but Clorinde had found him first.

How did the other party know his tracks?

Logically speaking, not many people should know the information about him coming to Fontaine.

Signora? Impossible, he and Signora were both the Tsaritsa's people. At this time, Signora couldn't betray him.

Mr. Zhong Li? Even more impossible! How could a thick and honest elder like Mr. Zhong Li sell his information?

Moreover, he hadn't done anything in Fontaine yet.

As for Mu Yang, he didn't seem to have the need to sell him out, and Mu Yang was also a friend of the Tsaritsa.

Very quickly, Tartaglia realized the truth!

Pierro, you bastard, you actually designed me like this!

"Hello, Mr. Tartaglia." Clorinde nodded slightly to Tartaglia: "We received a report before saying that you extorted several Fontaine citizens for millions. Please come with us."

"Σ(Д), what? You say I extorted?"

"And it was only millions? Who are you looking down on?" Tartaglia was instantly angered to laughter.

Damn it, when he went out to eat with Mr. Zhong Li, it occasionally cost millions of Mora.

Would he extort for a few million Mora?

This is slander!

He was designed!

Tartaglia soon thought of Pierro. Damn it.

Damn Pierro, can't you finally hide it anymore?

"Miss Clorinde, you should know my identity. Do you think I need to extort for millions of Mora?" Tartaglia took a deep breath and said to Clorinde in a deep voice.

Clorinde nodded slightly: "I am naturally willing to believe you, Tartaglia, but the other party has produced human and material evidence.

So please come with us.

Otherwise, the current situation is very unfavorable to you."

"Hmph, you ask me to go, and I go? Wouldn't I have no face?" At this time, Tartaglia also heard it.

Tartaglia himself was not a person with a good temper. Although he had been cultivating his character with Zhong Li during this period, being targeted like this, Tartaglia couldn't stand it either.

Moreover, for such a thing, if he followed Clorinde away, he probably wouldn't be able to get cleared.

After all, Pierro should have prepared his "evidence of crime" neatly.

If it were in Liyue, he could still hope that Signora, Zhong Li, and the others would save him.

Moreover, he also had a pretty good relationship with Keqing and Ningguang, and he could ask them to clear his name later.

This kind of thing could be seen at a glance that someone was framing him.

But Fontaine, what kind of stinky fish and rotten shrimp are these!?

When he knew he was coming to Fontaine, Tartaglia had also studied the information about Fontaine.

Hydro Archon Furina, this is a fun-loving person who likes to watch trials.

Whether such a god is reliable, Tartaglia didn't know. He only knew that he absolutely couldn't entrust his fate to Furina.

If the Tsaritsa had Furina's personality, he wouldn't be able to follow the Tsaritsa either.

Once something happened to him in Fontaine, wouldn't Pierro and the others be able to do whatever they wanted to him?

In that case, what about the Tsaritsa?

Tartaglia didn't believe Arlecchino would come to save him. Even this act of plotting against him was arranged by Pierro for Arlecchino to complete.

So, he had to fight.

Seeing Tartaglia like this, Clorinde also took out her long sword and asked Tartaglia in a serious tone: "In that case, you want to resist?" ===== CHAPTER 987 =====

Seeing Tartaglia in such a state, Clorinde also drew her longsword, looking at Tartaglia with a serious tone as she asked, "So, are you saying you want to resist?"
