"The member of the Ninth Company of Fatui, the Lightning Mage Katarina Xuenaitsevna, salutes you, Executor!"
"You're welcome, Katarina."
His eyes moved slightly downwards, looking at her breasts which could be described as barren, as if they had been stolen by Ksenia. Bai Luo immediately thought of her.
Well, his ability to judge people by their chest has not regressed.
"You came here alone?"
Asking the staff around him who were saluting to continue carrying the supplies, Bai Luo, accompanied by Katarina and Yefim, entered the cooperative supply point.
"I brought a few brothers with me. Sir, you have made some new discoveries recently, so you took the captain a little deeper. I have been the one to collect the supplies recently."
Following behind Bai Luo, Katarina answered respectfully.
I don’t know if it’s a habit she developed here at Tartaglia, but Katarina is now more calm than before.
There is also a bit more heroism in his confident steps. If he returns to Winter Solstice in the future, he will probably achieve something.
The premise is that nothing will happen under the abyss.
"Is the situation in the Chasm very serious?"
This captain had appeared in Yefim's mouth several times.
If he remembered correctly, this person should be the highest-ranking person among the Fatui stationed in the Chasm, except for Tartaglia.
Moreover, he spent most of his time in the rear carrying out command and supply work.
Some people may ask, since he is in the highest position, why does he have to go and collect supplies in person
The biggest difference between the Chasm and other places is food and water.
As for moisture, you can use water slime as an emergency measure, but this is not a long-term solution.
The situation with food is even more serious.
Due to geological reasons, no edible plants grow here, and they dare not eat the animals here. After all, no one knows whether those black things are edible, so this captain attaches more importance to supplies than anyone else.
He even has to lead the team personally every time to ensure safety.
"I don't know either. I haven't been too deep into the area I'm responsible for, and I only have a vague understanding of the situation inside. The captain seems to be deliberately hiding something."
After actually going to the battlefield, Katarina was no longer the little girl who couldn't help crying when she saw the executive officer injured.
She also had her own opinion on the captain's words.
If it were someone else, she would definitely not tell her guess, even to other executives.
But Katarina trusts Bai Luo very much.
She didn't know why, maybe... it was the trust she built during the time she followed Bai Luo in Liyue.
"So Tartaglia is now deep in the Chasm?"
Bai Luo released his perception and checked Tartaglia's location based on the mark, then asked.
From his own feeling, although Tartaglia was some distance away from him, this short distance was not that far.
"As for the young master, he just happened to come back today, but the captain didn't seem to be with him. The order to come here to collect the supplies was given by the young master."
Shaking her head, Katarina explained aloud.
"Is that so..."
After pondering for a moment, Bai Luo's face showed a thoughtful expression.
As soon as he came back, he asked his men to come and get supplies, and it was Katarina who had never done this before, which meant that the situation must be very urgent.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been allowed to come.
Could it be that my plan to go to Inazuma has to be postponed again
"Excuse me, have the supplies we took last time been used up?"
While Bai Luo was pondering the reason, Yefim, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
"Yes, when the young master came back, he ate three bowls of rice in one go. It looked like he had been hungry for a long time."
Katarina explained out loud.
This is also one of the reasons why she rushed here in a hurry.
But Tartaglia personally told her to get more supplies.
"That doesn't make sense. The supplies that the Captain took away last time should have been enough for them to eat for three months. It's only been less than half a month, how could they have run out?"
Yefim was in charge of transporting supplies, so he knew how much supplies the Ninth Company had taken away.
Even if there are big eaters among them, it is impossible for them to use up all the food in just half a month.
"I don't know either. Maybe it's lost?"
The situation in the Layered Rock Abyss is no different from other places. Even the young master would be injured when fighting here, so it is not surprising that some special situations would occur.
"After you bring the supplies back, tell Tartaglia that I will be staying at the cooperative supply point for one night. If he has time, come and see me."
After having a general understanding of the situation below, Bai Luo spoke out.
Instead of asking Katarina, it would be more convenient to just call that guy, Young Master, over.
"Aren't you going with me?"
Katarina was stunned for a moment and asked aloud.
She thought Bai Luo would go down with him.
"No, I'll just stay here. Remember to pass on my words."
What a joke, if he goes down there, it will be difficult for him to leave.
Instead of asking for trouble, it would be better to just not go down.
This can also avoid a lot of trouble.
He did not forget what the main purpose of his visit was.
"Okay, I'll bring your will to you."
Chapter 818 Tired Tartaglia
Even the most amazing sights can get boring eventually, and the same is true for the breathtaking scenery of the Layered Abyss.
After nightfall, the cool night breeze swept the mist, echoing in the abyss, making a creepy sound.
If you haven't been here for a long time, you will definitely be scared when you hear such a strange sound.
So at this time, not many people would care about the scenery here.
Katarina has already gone back, and it can be seen that she is still reluctant to part with Bai Luo.
It’s not that the relationship between them goes beyond the level of superiors and subordinates.
The Ninth Company has a total of sixty-four people. Thunderfire mages like Katarina who are in the advance team are usually assigned some patrol and guard tasks.
Just like Ksenia whom Bai Luo met in Inazuma, this kind of mission was boring and tedious. If Tartaglia hadn't happened to meet Katarina and assigned her the task of collecting supplies, she might not even have the chance to come out.
She finally met an acquaintance, and also a superior she was familiar with. How could she be willing to leave
If Bai Luo hadn't needed her to pass on a message and if Tartaglia hadn't been waiting for her to deliver supplies, she would probably have talked to Bai Luo until late at night before leaving.
"Sir, are you from Liyue?"
When Bai Luo was sitting on the cliff outside the cooperative supply point and staring into the depths of the abyss, a stranger's voice came from behind him.
That was a Liyue person.
Although this cooperative supply point is mainly managed by the Fatui, there are also people from Liyue here.
After all, it is impossible for Liyue to trust the Fatui 100%, so it is normal to have such an arrangement.
"At least it used to be."
Touching the mask that was worn diagonally on his forehead, Bai Luo realized that he had subconsciously lifted the mask when talking to Katarina.
Naturally, his identity as a Liyue person was also exposed.
"Yanbo."
Handing the glass of wine in his hand to Bai Luo, Yanbo took the initiative to introduce himself.
"Bai Luo."
Bai Luo took the cup handed to him and frowned slightly.
Having spent so much time in the winter, he could tell that the wine was kerosene with just a simple sniff.
He actually doesn't like this stuff, he prefers jam.
"Why did you go to Zhidong?"
After taking a sip, Yanbo asked.
However, he did not intend to question or complain. It was more like he was talking to Bai Luo as a friend.
Just this point alone made Bai Luo feel a little wary of him.
With such rhetoric skills and the fact that he could be dispatched to a cooperative supply point dominated by the Fatui, this Yanbo should not be a simple person.
"The Fatui saved me, so I'll consider this as a token of my gratitude."
This is not wrong. He joined the Fatui because he was nearly drowned while saving people in the glacier. He was then favored by the Fatui and joined the Fatui.
The people who pulled him out of the glacier at that time were the Fatui.
"Repay a favor? A man who knows how to repay a favor is a real man."
Although he said this, Bai Luo could feel that the other party didn't really believe what he said.
However, he did not want the other party to believe him. After all, he was only staying here for one night and would not have any interaction with the other party.
Yanbo should have also realized that Bai Luo had no intention of talking to him, but he shamelessly kept trying to get in touch with Bai Luo.
He also said a bunch of meaningless nonsense.
It's just that among these nonsense, there are occasionally some traps for Bai Luo.
This way of speaking, which seemed very familiar to Bai Luo, also reminded him of someone—Ye Lan.
"So, do you know anyone in Liyue now?"
After taking another sip of kerosene in a serious manner, Yanbo asked.
However, he kept drinking during this period and the alcohol didn't go down his throat, which was a miracle.
"There are actually a few people I know."
Bai Luo said after glancing at the other person.
"Oh? What's his name? Tell me, maybe I know him."
After hearing Bai Luo's answer, Yanbo's eyes suddenly lit up. After trying to trick this guy for a long time, this guy finally fell into his trap.
"Hmm... Emperor Yanwang, Guardian Yaksha, True Lord Liuyunjiefeng, True Lord Gechenlangshi, Osair, Ningguang, Keqing, and... Yelan."
When he said the last name, Bai Luo showed a half-smile on his face.
No matter whose decision it was for this man named Yanbo to come to him to get information, Bai Luo was certain that this guy definitely had a certain relationship with Ye Lan.
When Bai Luo said the first few names and code names, the expression on Yanbo's face was already very interesting. When he said the name Ye Lan, beads of sweat the size of beans flowed directly on his face.
Just when he was about to give up, he caught a glimpse of a figure walking towards him in the night fog.
"Um... there's someone coming over there. Is he the friend you're waiting for?"
As if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, Yanbo pointed at the person in the mist and spoke.
"Well, it seems so."
Although he said "it seems", Bai Luo no longer teased Yanbo and took the initiative to walk towards the person in the mist.
Judging from the markings, the person walking slowly towards us was Tartaglia.
"Long time no see, Bai Luo."
Tartaglia, wearing a cloak, is still as confident as ever. There is a hint of frivolity on her face, which looks even more childish than Bai Luo.
