Chapter 939

There are those I like and those I dislike.

But overall, it's still split down the middle—not so extreme.

But when it comes to Scaramouche, the criticism is far more common.

Still, for Han Feng, it's the same old saying.

As long as you come and read the manga properly, nothing will happen.

But if you cause trouble, then the Doctor is a cautionary tale.

Of course,

if someone uses the rewards to go after Scaramouche, that's a different matter.

The Fatui of Snezhnaya are a massive force, with influence in all seven nations.

For instance, the Lady booked out the Goth Grand Hotel in Mondstadt,

while the Young Master runs the Northland Bank in Liyue.

Still, the Fatui running rampant in those two places also has to do with the local beliefs.

Mondstadt, for example, is the City of Freedom.

So naturally, no one can stop the Fatui from booking out the Goth Grand Hotel.

Liyue is the nation of Contracts.

As long as I don't cause trouble and fulfill the contract in good faith,

then you can't do anything to me either.

But Inazuma is different.

This is a place where a god exists—and actually governs!

And given the Raiden General's conviction toward Eternity, she truly dares to draw her blade!

Take the Lady from the game's storyline, for example.

Even though her case was due to losing a duel before the throne,

it still speaks to the Raiden God's temperament.

She says she'll cut you down—she will absolutely never let you off!

Precisely because of this, the Fatui in Inazuma only dare to stir up trouble in the shadows,

and on the surface, they don't dare show themselves in Inazuma City.

So the base is also hidden somewhere outside Inazuma City.

At this moment, a special guest arrived here.

He was seen wearing an outfit resembling a kabuki performer's, with a market woman's hat adorned at its center by a kumadori mask.

A conspicuous round gold ornament hung at his chest, and a purple cloth bundle was slung diagonally across his back.

The triple tomoe of thunder and the Fatui insignia printed on the bundle also attested to this person's extraordinary identity.

At this moment, a Fatui officer stepped forward and bowed.

"Lord Scaramouche!"

"I have come at the command of the Tsaritsa to take over this place. Tell me the latest intelligence on Inazuma."

Scaramouche said softly.

Originally he had planned to head over to Mondstadt to take a look—he'd heard some interesting things had happened there.

But the Cryo Archon had ordered him to come to Inazuma to obtain the Raiden God's Gnosis.

The Tsaritsa's command was naturally something he could not disobey.

So he had made his way here.

Although he was very familiar with Inazuma, that was, after all, a thing of the past.

He still needed to get a grasp on the latest situation.

"Yes, Lord Scaramouche!"

The officer nodded, then proceeded to report what had recently happened in Inazuma.

Intelligence-gathering was something they had always been doing, so it was no great effort.

Scaramouche remained expressionless through the earlier intelligence, but when it touched on the Raiden General, his brow furrowed slightly.

"You're saying that yesterday, in front of the Thousand-Armed, Hundred-Eyed Statue, the Raiden General and Yae Miko got into a fight?"

"Yes, Lord Scaramouche! Many people witnessed it at the time, so this subordinate is absolutely certain."

The officer nodded repeatedly as he spoke.

"Why would they fight?"

A flicker of puzzlement crossed Scaramouche's eyes.

As far as he knew, Yae Miko was a familiar of the Raiden Shogun!

Even if she opposed the Vision Hunt Decree, she wouldn't likely do something like that in plain sight, would she?

There must be something off about this.

But even after pondering for a long while, he couldn't figure out what had happened.

That's perfectly normal!

How could an ordinary person possibly imagine that the soul within Yae Miko

is, in truth, the Inazuma's Raiden Makoto from five hundred years ago?!

"Besides that, is there anything else out of the ordinary—anything at all?"

Scaramouche decided to start from the intelligence.

There must be something that was overlooked.

"Hmm, there are two more, but I'm not sure if they count as special."

After recalling the intelligence in his mind, the leader's expression turned peculiar.

"Speak!"

The stray soldier said grimly.

"One is an object that suddenly drifted over Inazuma City last night, resembling a dwelling."

"The other was when the Thundering General fought Yaegami Kamiko; the Thundering General was no match and was pushed back, finally falling into the arms of a black-haired boy."

"Then rumors spread that the two women fought over that black-haired boy."

The leader hurriedly spoke out.

But then he remembered something and added further.

"By the way, I heard the Young Lady of the Kamisato family is also inquiring after the black-haired boy's whereabouts, so rumors say it's three women vying for one man!"

"Black-haired boy?"

The stray soldier's eyes grew thoughtful.

He wouldn't believe a word of that three-women-vying-for-one-man nonsense.

Just folk gossip.

But this black-haired boy had appeared repeatedly in these reports.

Clearly, the man must have something special about him.

"Looks like I need to go to Inazuma City and inquire further!"

The stray soldier murmured to himself.
