Chapter 257: "Only One Can Live"
The Fatui, an organization that spans seven nations.
When Shi Lan traveled through the Seven Kingdoms, there was hardly a place where he was not infiltrated by the Fatui.
They are carrying out many unknown plans under the leadership of their respective executives, all of which are evil and contain filth.
Years ago, he had helped Amber save a Sumeru girl who had escaped from the Fatui Research Institute, which contained a cruelty and madness that Shi Lan could not describe in words.
What he couldn't agree with was the ruthlessness of the Fatui towards their partners.
Of the ones he had seen, Tartaglia was the most.
Just to prevent the matter from being implicated in himself, he killed his own compatriots.
It was what Shi Lan had witnessed, and he couldn't accept the bloody and cruel picture, as well as his ruthlessness towards his compatriots, which brought great shock to the young Shi Lan.
Even after experiencing a more cruel picture than this, Shi Lan can't forget that scene of Tartaglia.
Each executive has a group of loyal subordinates, although they are the same organization, they are distinct, but the Fatui in different groups are very indifferent, and it is common to see death and not save them, and it is even more common to stab them in the back.
This made Shi Lan extremely disgusted with this organization, and he was afraid of their uncompromising means to achieve their goals.
It's just a bunch of crazy people.
"I thought it was strange from the beginning, but after seeing you I understood." Shi Lan faced Tartaglia, "Your purpose is a traveler, right?" ”
"The people under my hands are disobedient." Tartaglia naturally wouldn't admit it, "Thank you for helping me educate him, otherwise I wouldn't have known that he was so useless." ”
Shi Lan just smiled.
"I know some of your plans... Seeking power... But what I want to say is, don't do it yourself. ”
"Not necessarily." Tartaglia smiled confidently: "As long as it is what the Fatui want, no matter what accidents happen in the middle, we can always get it, right?" ”
Shi Lan gathered his elemental power: "Do you always think that you have everything in your hands? ”
"Hehe......" Seeing Shi Lan's movements, Tartaglia's eyes changed, and he put away his relaxed demeanor, "Without full certainty, the Fatui will not act rashly." Just like you, Shi Lan, I can talk to you here because I know you well enough. ”
Tartaglia said meaningfully, "After all...... I watched you grow up......"
Shi Lan furrowed her brows.
He sensed something in Tartaglia's words.
"Hahahaha...... The words were a little more serious. Tartaglia turned around and boldly turned his back towards Shi Lan, "All in all, I appreciate you, little brother Shi Lan, this has not changed. I know what you think, but don't worry, I'll give you this opportunity. At the same time, it is also to fulfill a small wish of mine. Hopefully, by then, one of us will survive......"
"That's it, goodbye~"
Tartaglia turned and smiled at Shi Lan, took two steps back, and fell off the cliff with open arms.
Shi Lan didn't chase it, and naturally he didn't think that Tartaglia would do if he jumped like this, it was just a way for him to be handsome.
"All the time...... Are you looking at me......"
Tartaglia's words gave Shi Lan a great shock.
"Know me well enough? Scold... That's a bit crazy... I don't know enough about myself. ”
Shi Lan looked into the distance, flicked his cloak, and disappeared in place.

"I never thought you'd break your head, Tartaglia." On the beach, a slender woman quipped.
Beside her, Tartaglia, with a bandage on her head, was a little speechless.
He pretended to cough twice to hide his embarrassment: "I didn't expect a crooked neck tree to grow on the cliff." ”
"Why didn't you just kill him?" The woman said.
Tartaglia said crisply, "I can't beat it." ”
The woman was surprised: "Isn't the stronger the person, the more you can inspire your fighting spirit?" ”
"If I can kill him, then why can he get out of the palace? Retreat from the hands of a few of you. Well? Rosalyn? The man glanced at the woman and said sarcastically.
Rosalyn pouted: "It's just a fast run, there's nothing really capable." ”
"yes, I can't catch up, how dare I say I can kill him?"
Rosalyn was stunned, then sneered, "Heh, Tartaglia, you've been in Liyue for a long time, and you're getting more and more talkative. ”
"To deal with Shi Lan, you need a special opportunity to make him willing to fight you to the death, instead of startling the snake." Tartaglia smiled, "I don't like your unbelievable attitude, Rosalyn. As a colleague, I kindly advise you, don't underestimate every one of your opponents, otherwise, you will die a miserable death......"
"Why not underestimate it?" Rosalyn had a chess piece hovering in her palm, full of arrogance: "Even the heart of God can be obtained so easily...... God, perhaps, that's all there is to it. ”
"If you really think that the wind god is capable of that, I didn't say that."
"My goal has been accomplished. On the other hand, how many years has someone been here? Even Morax couldn't figure out where he was. ”
Tartaglia was unmoved: "Be careful to make the ship of ten thousand years." This is the strongest god, and not everyone has the same self-righteous mindset as you do. I want to live a little longer, don't you? ”
Rosalyn said coldly, "I'm already dead. ”
"Heh, I can't tell you about it."
Rosalyn put away her heart and turned around impatiently, "You're going to move a little faster." If you don't get the Heart of the Rock God this year, the Empress will be disappointed in you......"
Tartaglia looked at the sea and twisted his fingers: "Soon it will be fine... Soon fine. ”
As he thought, everything was going well within his plan.
But there was only one exception.
As if sensing something, Shi Lan suddenly terminated Sumeru's plan to go to Fontaine and returned to China directly. Tartaglia thought he would go straight back to Liyue, but he didn't know what the hell he was up to, so he made a big detour and went to Mondstadt to do some trouble, liberating Dvalin, inflicting heavy damage on the Abyss Sect, and nearly ruining Rosalyn's plans.
After returning to Liyue, he suddenly attacked the Nantianmen, so that "Slic" didn't have time to react, and was killed by the kid on the spot......
It's a grimace.
So, Tartaglia knows very well that this guy just doesn't play according to the routine.
He knew Shi Lan too well, and the more he knew, the more he knew that he would definitely bring uncontrollable surprises to the whole plan.
The thought of Shi Lan made Tartaglia feel a headache.
He wanted to eliminate this instability more than anyone else, but in the end, he couldn't get around that topic, this kid ran too fast!
If you can't beat it, you can run, but you can't catch up!
You know, Shi Lan was the first guy to steal from the Queen's Palace, and he got out of it!
As if seeing what Tartaglia was thinking, Rosalyn suddenly said: "Also, that Shi Lan is very eye-catching, if you can't deal with it, I may be able to help you ...... it."
"He's mine." Tartaglia squinted slightly, turned his head to look at Rosalyn, and said with a smile: "If you spoil my good deeds, it is between you and me, there can only be one life." ”
Rosalyn's smile froze on her face, her expression became gloomy, and she left angrily.
"Maniac!"
Tartaglia shook his head, turned around and sat down directly on the beach, stretched, rubbed his head, picked up a star snail, and threw it into the sea.
Looking in the direction of the Lonely Cloud Pavilion, he muttered to himself, muttering, "Aren't we all crazy......
※※※
Eating Tiger Rock Square, the crowd was full of voices, and everyone thanked the heroes for their appearance.
But Sora is embarrassed.
Kuaidao Chen pulled him pitifully, "Little brother, although I'm grateful to you for beating this guy, but my shop is gone... This is a hand-down from my ancestors..."
Sora looked at Paimon, who secretly counted Mora in the money bag, and shook his head with a bitter face: "I can't afford to lose ......"
In fact, they are still a bit Mora, but as soon as Paimon combines the report that Shi Lan just wrote, this amount of money may only be worth a few stone slabs, not to mention the house.
"Do you want to borrow money from the stone man?"
Paimon came up with a tricky idea......
"Brother Chen, you have found the wrong person for compensation."
Just when the two didn't know what to do, Shi Lan appeared.
He held a stamped report in his hand, and said to Kuaidao: "I have already found someone to help you set the price for the specific loss, and you can go to the General Affairs Department to get compensation tomorrow." ”
When Kuaidao Chen took it and looked at the amount of compensation, his eyes were about to pop out, and he changed his face at the speed of light, and turned his head to hold his empty hand: "Oh, little brother, you are welcome to Liyue......
With a confused face, he subconsciously said: "Guest... You're welcome......"
"What, I'll go first, you watch the demolition of my hut, it doesn't matter, it's mainly to help everyone get angry, what is my loss!"
I was confused, and I was very curious about how much compensation was set on that report to make a person who had just been destroyed in his "ancestral home" become like this.
Kuaidao Chen took the loss report and walked away happily, judging by the direction he was going, he should be going to Wanmin Hall to celebrate.
Paimon pouted and complained, "Tsk, the power of money is still great......"
Sora didn't forget to thank Shi Lan: "Thanks to you, otherwise I would have to lose a poor egg......
"I can still understand the youthful frivolity and enthusiasm." Shi Lan seemed to see his former self from the emptiness.
In fact, he is not much worse than in the past, it is just that he will think about it before doing things.
"But it's someone else's ancestral home, and even if you can get the money, the meaning of that house is gone...... "Sora still blames himself.
"Which family's ancestral home? He's only been there for seven or eight years. Have you ever seen an ancestral house built with four pillars and a shed? Shi Lan was very surprised: "It has collapsed several times in the past seven or eight years, if he hadn't had something to do with Xingqiu, I wouldn't have bothered to help him ask for so much money......
Paimon was shocked: "This ...... Is this how the people of Liyue do business? ”
"What is this, you haven't seen Ningguang use too many clever means to cheat me out of money."
Paimon was curious, "Clever enough?" How clever is it? Who can cheat you out of your money? ”
"What, this sentence is a little late, but it's just right." Shi Lan digressed the subject, "Welcome to Liyue, Traveler... Hahaha..."
Paimon: "......"
