Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 1173 Replica of the first meeting with Tartaglia

Shao Yun squatted down and checked the dragon's nest, then used the "Eagle Eye" that Xitrali had upgraded for him to check for traces of phlogiston around him.

The traces of phlogiston in the air were chaotic, with countless breaths intertwining and overlapping, making it impossible to tell which one was left by Keya.

"The traces of phlogiston are too messy," Shao Yun turned off "Eagle Eye" and shook his head helplessly.

"It seems that many velvet pterosaurs have passed by here recently. Their scents have mixed together, making it impossible to distinguish Keya's whereabouts."

Chaska was originally still holding out hope, but when he saw that even the usually reliable Shao Yun had no clue, he suddenly became even more anxious.

"Even you have no clue? Damn it... Is something really wrong with my sister? Who the hell kidnapped her?"

The more she thought about it, the more worried she became, and her brain began to heat up.

At this moment, Tartaglia, who was looking for the whereabouts of Dr. "Dottore" nearby, happened to pass by here and saw Chaska at a glance.

Tartaglia had heard of Chaska, the mediator of Tralocan and the terminator of countless disputes. He must be very powerful!

So, the martial arts fanatic immediately walked over and said in a somewhat abrupt manner, "Look what I found! It's actually the Huayu Society's strongest mediator and..."

But when Tartaglia's eyes fell on Shao Yun, the excitement on his face froze instantly.

Damn, a human-shaped disaster suddenly appeared out of nowhere. My luck is too good.

He covered his forehead and sighed, "No way? Why do I keep running into you wherever I go? My luck is so unlucky."

Shao Yun looked at Tartaglia, who suddenly appeared with a look of disappointment and melancholy, and couldn't help but roll his eyes. He complained, "What's with that expression? It's like I'm some kind of monster, like a disaster."

When Tartaglia heard this, she immediately straightened up, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Isn't it?"

Chaska carefully observed Tartaglia's face, his eyes gradually narrowed, and he said warily:

"You are... a member of the Fatui! I've seen you before. Are you the Fatui executive officer? Did you capture my sister?"

After all, the sudden appearance of an Eluded executive in this remote place inevitably made Chaska point the finger of suspicion at Tartaglia.

When Tartaglia heard this, he immediately became anxious and quickly waved his hands to explain, acting so innocent.

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't spit blood at me! How could I possibly do something like kidnap a Velvet Pterosaur? I'm looking for someone, not trying to catch a dragon!"

As he spoke, he pointed specifically at the clothes he was wearing.

"Look at me dressed like I'm here to catch a dragon. I'm here on a serious mission!"

Chaska was clearly not convinced, his expression remained unfriendly as he continued to interrogate:

"Then why did you end up here? This is Keya's nesting ground, and outsiders rarely come here. Don't tell me it's just a coincidence."

Tartaglia spread his hands helplessly and sighed.

"It's no coincidence, it's a mission necessity! Doctor Dotore, the second-in-command of the Fatui, lost contact with us some time ago. You were there at the time!"

"Alechino sent me to Nata with a team of Fatui to find him. I was just searching for clues nearby and happened to pass by."

In order to prove his innocence, Tartaglia quickly turned around and looked for help at Shao Yun who was beside Chaska.

"Mr. Shao Yun, you've dealt with the Fatui before. You can vouch for me. What I said is true, right?"

However, Shao Yun had no intention of helping him out. He put one hand on his waist, raised the corner of his mouth with a playful arc, and said what was really in his mind.

"I'm skeptical."

"After all, your Fatui's style of doing things has always been unpredictable. Previously, you conducted experiments on Xumi and stirred up unrest in Mondstadt, Liyue, and Inazuma. Now, even if you kidnapped a Velvet Dragon, it wouldn't be surprising."

Tartaglia looked at Shao Yun, who was deliberately making up stories, and said helplessly, "Stop joking now, okay? I'm really looking for Dortorei!!!"

Chaska stared at Tartaglia's face for a long time. Her face was full of anxiety and innocence, and she didn't seem to be lying. Moreover, she was also present at the beach confrontation some time ago...

That guy named Dottore is indeed missing...

But she couldn't let go of her guard against the Fatui and couldn't make up her mind.

She turned to look at Shao Yun beside her, seeking his advice.

"So, Mr. Shao Yun, do you think this Fatui named Tartaglia is the murderer who kidnapped my sister?"

Seeing that Chaska was truly worried, Shao Yun put away his joking expression, turned serious, and spoke frankly:

"Probably not. Although this guy is an executive officer of the Fatui, he is essentially a brainless martial arts fanatic who only thinks about finding someone to fight."

"Unless he suddenly changes his nature and likes to eat Natalosaurus flesh, there's no need to go through the trouble of kidnapping a pair of Velvet Pterosaurs."

"What dragon meat?" When Tartaglia heard this, he was stunned and looked at Shao Yun with a puzzled expression.

"When did I ever think I was going to eat dragon meat? Don't make false accusations against me!"

Shao Yun shrugged and explained slowly, "The 'sister' Chaska was talking about wasn't a human, but a velvet pterosaur named Keya. She disappeared shortly after giving birth to her dragonets."

"Things are a bit complicated here, so she suspects you."

Only then did Tartaglia realize that he had been mistakenly kidnapped a dragon!

He breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest.

"It turned out to be a Velvet Pterosaur! I was so scared! I was just wondering when I'd ever done something so despicable as kidnapping someone. If this gets out, won't my reputation be ruined?"

Shao Yun looked at his relaxed expression, and suddenly his mind twitched. He asked, "So, you haven't kidnapped anyone, but you have captured a velvet pterosaur?"

As soon as these words came out, the air froze instantly.

Chaska's nerves, which had been slightly relaxed, suddenly tensed up. She suddenly took out her bow and arrow, "Star Eagle Red Feather", and in the blink of an eye, she bent the bow and drew the arrow. The sharp tip of the arrow pointed directly at Tartaglia's head, and her eyes were full of murderous intent.

The posture was to open his eyes directly and let Tartaglia cosplay Erlang Shen on the spot.

"Have you ever caught a Velvet Pterosaur?!"

Chaska's fingers were already on the bowstring, and as long as Tartaglia dared to say "yes", the arrow would be shot immediately.

Tartaglia was so frightened by this sudden change that he almost lost his soul. He quickly raised his hands and stepped back repeatedly, his face full of panic:

"No! Absolutely not! Are you kidding me? I've never caught a Velvet Pterosaur in my life!"

"I've been looking for Dotore. Since I came to Nata, I haven't even gotten close to the Velvet Winged Dragon's nest!"

……

Chaska stared at Tartaglia for a few seconds, and seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, he gradually let down his guard.

She slowly loosened her fingers on the bowstring, retracted the arrow, and then neatly retracted the "Star Eagle Red Feather". The whole set of movements was crisp and neat, revealing a sense of boldness.

"If I find out you're lying, I'll cut off your tongue first and then torture you to death."

Chaska said something and turned to look at Shao Yun.

"Mr. Shao Yun, let's go. Don't waste time here. Let's go look for clues about my sister somewhere else."

Shao Yun nodded and was about to turn around and leave with Chaska, but Tartaglia hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to stop him:

"Hey, hey, hey, don't leave so quickly! We still have something to discuss!"

Shao Yun turned around and looked at Tartaglia. Seeing his eager look to keep him, he suddenly felt familiar, as if he had seen a similar scene somewhere.

"Why, you want us to stay? Do you want to treat me to a meal?"

When Tartaglia heard the words "please have dinner", he was also stunned for a moment.

Why did this conversation sound so familiar? He subconsciously responded, "Eating is fine, but the main thing is, do we want to cooperate?"

As soon as these words came out, Shao Yun and Tartaglia were both stunned.

A thought suddenly flashed through Shao Yun's mind: Isn't this the scene when he first met Dartalia in Liyue?

This guy also proposed cooperation so suddenly at that time, and even his tone was exactly the same!

He forced a smile and pretended to be puzzled before asking, "No, cooperation? What's there for us to cooperate with a Fatui executive like you?"

I hope Zhongli doesn’t suddenly appear, otherwise it would be a replica of the famous scene.

Tartaglia also realized that his words and actions just now were exactly replicating the scene in Liyue.

He cleared his throat, put away his teasing expression, turned serious, and said in a low voice:

"Don't joke, I'm serious."

"I have an important piece of information to share with you. Dr. Dottore's purpose in coming to Nata this time is not to join us other executives in seizing the Heart of God, but to study Nata's phlogiston."

"He mentioned it to me before, saying that the dragons of Nata are very suitable as experimental subjects."

When Chaska heard Tartaglia say that Koya’s disappearance might be related to the doctor, his pupils suddenly shrank.

"You mean to say that my sister, Keya, might have been captured by your Fatui's 'Doctor' and used as an experimental subject?"

When Chaska thought about how Koya was captured for experiments right after hatching the dragonets, the anger in her heart instantly clouded her mind.

Tartaglia looked at the rage burning in Chaska's eyes, his desire for battle, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. He said with a hint of provocation:

"I'm not saying it was definitely the doctor who caught him, but given his style, he's capable of doing something like this, so it's not impossible."

He deliberately slowed down his speech, as if he was deliberately provoking Chaska.

After all, he had been curious about the strength of "Hua Yu Club's emphasis on stopping people" since they met just now, and now was a good opportunity to test it out.

"You fools...you are really going too far!!!" Chaska couldn't bear it any longer and roared with his teeth bared.

Tartaglia's nonchalant attitude completely ignited her anger.

Seeing that Chaska was completely enraged, Tartaglia's eyes instantly lit up with a strong fighting spirit. He moved his wrist, and the joints made a "crackling" sound. He smiled and said:

"Oh? Apparently, the Huayu Clan's strongest mediator wants to fight me?"

"I'm so tired of looking for Dotorei, I don't mind stretching my muscles a bit. Let me see how strong you are!"

As he spoke, his hands were already glowing with a faint light of water element, and he was obviously ready for battle.
