Pantalone, the "Rich" Harbinger of the Fatui in Snezhnaya.
Hearing this name!
The Tsaritsa raised her head and said in a cold tone, "Let him in."
The maid replied seriously, "As you command!"
A moment later!
When the maid walked back into the palace, a gorgeously dressed young man followed closely behind her. It was none other than the "Rich" Harbinger, Pantalone.
Upon entering the palace!
Pantalone first bowed respectfully to the Tsaritsa.
Then, a faint smile appeared on his face. "Respected Her Majesty, have you read the light novel I sent you a few days ago?"
Clearly, Pantalone attached great importance to the contents of that light novel.
He even believed that it had the potential to change the overall situation of the entire Teyvat continent, which was why he had presented it to the Tsaritsa.
But unexpectedly, after waiting at home for two days, he found that the Tsaritsa had given no response whatsoever.
So he had taken the initiative to come here himself.
Hearing the "Rich" Harbinger's question, the Tsaritsa's face remained as if covered in a layer of frost.
Still cold!
She replied in an icy voice, "Do you think I am idle enough to spend my time reading light novels?"
Clearly, the Tsaritsa had no interest in light novels.
And she did not know the importance of this particular book's contents.
Hearing this, Pantalone's expression turned serious. "Her Majesty, this is no ordinary light novel. The content inside is extremely important!"
"Because of this light novel, Tartaglia is being controlled by several gods and cannot return!"
"Because of this light novel, Signora has directly defected from the Fatui!"
"Please, you must take a look!"
Pantalone had already read the contents of the light novel and attached great importance to it.
Hearing these words!
A hint of surprise appeared on the Tsaritsa's icy face. "Fine. Since that is the case, I will look at it now."
She was slightly curious in her heart!
What kind of story could possibly be in this light novel?
That it could make Pantalone take it so seriously.
The next moment!
Under the Tsaritsa's command, the maid brought the light novel forward.
The Tsaritsa slowly took the light novel and opened it to the first page.
What came into view was the story of the Raiden sisters.
Seeing these contents, the Tsaritsa was slightly surprised. "If I remember correctly, that Yae Publishing House is an organization from Inazuma, right?"
"Freely fabricating stories about the Raiden Shogun, doesn't that puppet do anything about it?"
Although she had not been in contact with Raiden Ei for five hundred years.
But...
Snezhnaya's intelligence network spanned the entire continent.
She knew perfectly well about Raiden Ei creating the puppet Raiden Shogun and entering the Plane of Euthymia.
Pantalone said seriously, "Please continue reading."
The Tsaritsa nodded slightly!
And continued to flip through the pages!
She discovered that it not only contained the story of the Raiden sisters, but also the story of the Anemo Archon, Barbatos?
And the story of the dragon Durin?
And the stories of the Liyue adepti?
And Signora's story?
Before reading these stories, the Tsaritsa had dismissed them, assuming they were all fabricated nonsense by the editors of Yae Publishing House.
But... after finishing all the stories.
Even the Tsaritsa herself could no longer distinguish what was true and what was false.
Especially after finishing the story of Rostam.
She was absolutely certain that the truth behind Rostam's death, and the process of Rosalyne becoming Signora, were completely real.
No wonder Signora had defected!
But... there was one point the Tsaritsa found deeply puzzling. Was this so-called reincarnation actually real?
How could such a heaven-defying ability exist in this world?
After finishing these contents, the Tsaritsa said seriously, "Some of the content here is true, but other parts, even I cannot judge as true or false."
Pantalone, however, stated firmly, "All the stories above are true!"
The Tsaritsa: "Uh???"
Pantalone's expression turned grave. "Because... the main characters in these stories have all gone to that inn, verifying the authenticity of the stories!"
"Even the Anemo Archon, Barbatos, and the three Raiden sisters are there listening to the storytelling!"
To outsiders, this might seem like an ordinary matter.
But... for Snezhnaya, this was a major event.
If Liyue, Mondstadt, and Inazuma were to unite.
It would create a massive obstacle, or even a devastating blow, to all of the Tsaritsa's plans.
The Tsaritsa also grew serious!
But upon hearing "three sisters", she said coldly, "You said three Raiden sisters? Where did a third sister come from?"
Pantalone replied, "Raiden Ei, Raiden Makoto, Raiden Shogun... that is how the author of this light novel refers to them!"
The Tsaritsa's gaze grew heavy. "Isn't Raiden Makoto long dead?"
Pantalone said seriously, "According to Tartaglia's letter, Raiden Makoto has resurrected without warning for some unknown reason!"
Actually, it was not just the Tsaritsa.
When Pantalone first learned of Raiden Makoto's resurrection, he was also immensely shocked.
What kind of power could directly resurrect a god?
Since such power exists!
Then could the ability of repeated reincarnation also be real?
Until this moment!
The Tsaritsa finally understood just how important this light novel was.
If it was truly as written in the light novel.
After repeated reincarnations, if that reincarnated person truly returned, it would shock the entire continent of Teyvat.
When that time came...
All of Snezhnaya's schemes would likely fail outright.
Thinking of this possibility!
The Tsaritsa said coldly, "Pantalone, I am sending you to Wangshu Inn in Liyue to investigate the situation. I will follow shortly after."
Before leaving Snezhnaya, she had to arrange many things.
Pantalone, however, shook his head. "Your Majesty, there is someone more suitable than me to investigate the situation."
The Tsaritsa was taken aback. "Who?"
Among all the Fatui Harbingers.
The one the Tsaritsa trusted the most was probably the "Rich" Harbinger, Pantalone.
He not only earned vast amounts of Mora for Snezhnaya, but also helped the Tsaritsa solve many problems.
He was the least likely to betray her!
Pantalone's face returned to a smile. "Scaramouche... or rather, you could call him Kunikuzushi! Compared to me, he is more suited to go to Wangshu Inn and meet his old friends!"
Hearing this, a faint smile appeared on the Tsaritsa's icy face. "Pantalone, you are very right. Raiden Ei would definitely want to see Scaramouche too."
"Let Scaramouche go."
After saying this!
The Tsaritsa waved her hand, dismissing the "Rich" Harbinger, Pantalone.
She then summoned Scaramouche.
And issued her orders to the "Scaramouche" Harbinger.
To go to Wangshu Inn in Liyue to investigate the situation, and prepare for the Tsaritsa's arrival in Liyue.
