Tartaglia Loses His Foul Legacy!
13: Chapter 13: Master Jean’s Social Death!
Tartaglia Loses His Foul Legacy!
This public execution and resulting social death made Master Jean want to flee the planet entirely.
She desperately wanted to speak up and clarify things, but she quickly realized her chat function was currently muted.
Only then did she finally understand how the Traveler felt when his embarrassing secrets were suddenly exposed on video.
It was incredibly frustrating to be branded a scumbag by everyone without any way to defend oneself.
However, the moment she recalled those intimate scenes between herself and Traveler Aether in the video…
Jean’s face flushed so violently that she wanted to dig a hole and bury herself right then and there.
Despite feeling utterly humiliated and flustered, she still gathered the courage to check everyone else’s reactions.
As soon as Jean opened the Live Stream Room screen, she saw that the comment section had already exploded.
Everyone was gossiping wildly.
Sucrose: “I feel like I’ve just been force-fed dog food again!” Kaeya: “Hahahahahahahaha!
Klee, you did an absolutely fantastic job!” Klee: “Hehe, Klee is getting shy from all this praise!” Albedo: “I never expected Master Jean to secretly do such things with the Traveler.” Lisa: “Ara, ara~ The Traveler and Jean actually make quite a lovely couple.
Watching that ‘Kissing Game’ makes me want to play along too.” Keqing: “It feels like watching a romance movie, I’m getting a little jealous.” Nilou: “True.
If the Traveler were loyal enough, this kind of love story would indeed be highly desirable.” Kamisato Ayaka: “Hmm, yes.
Absolutely!” Kamisato Ayato: “Ayaka, do you agree with the ‘Traveler being loyal’ part, or the ‘desirable love story’ part?” Kamisato Ayaka: “(￣_,￣) Brother, I’ve noticed you’ve been talking way too much lately!” Cloud Retainer: “So, Shenhe and Ganyu, when are the two of you going to find yourselves a partner?” Shenhe: “I’ve found one, but I haven’t acquired him yet!” Cloud Retainer: “What do you mean?
Your master does not quite understand.” Shenhe: “Umm…
it’s hard to explain in words.
Master, it’s better if you ask Senior Sister first.” Ganyu: “I-I also yearn for a romance this sweet…
But matters of the heart depend on fate.
When the time comes, it will happen naturally.” Cloud Retainer: “I was almost fooled by the two of you.
Let’s do this: if you’re really having trouble finding a match, I think this Traveler is a fine choice.
He is strong enough to protect you both.
Besides, isn’t it perfectly normal for an exceptional man to have multiple wives and concubines?” Shenhe: “I see.
So there is a solution like that!” Ganyu: “Master, please stop.
This is so embarrassing!” Amber: “That actually sounds…
somewhat reasonable.” Kamisato Ayaka: “Cloud Retainer’s words remind me.
In Inazuma, the practice of polygamy for powerful men is also still common.” Nilou: “We have traditions like that in Sumeru too!” Ei: “Mortal emotions are indeed difficult to comprehend.
If it were me, I wouldn’t bother with these kinds of romantic affairs.” Kuki Shinobu: “Anyway, what’s the answer to the question?” Xingqiu: “A.
Master Jean!
B.
Thick Butt!
C.
Dandelion Knight!
D.
Lion of the South!
It seems option B is completely ridiculous and makes no sense, so we can eliminate it right off the bat.” Xiangling: “Isn’t her title Master Jean of the Knights of Favonius?
The answer must be the first option!” Chongyun: “I don’t think it’s that simple.
Besides, everyone already knows that title.
Why would the system put such an obvious answer as an option?” Zhongli: “A quite reasonable analysis.” Arataki Itto: “Hahahaha!
I say the answer is definitely A!
Trust me, my gut instinct is always spot on!” Tartaglia: “Hey, I’m pretty smart, you know, I’ve already figured it out.
You’re right, the option must be A!” Arataki Itto: “It’s not a guess, it’s because my intuition is never wrong!” The thinking time was up, and the scramble to answer began in the Live Stream Room.
The viewers started mashing the answer buttons.
Not long after, the first person who successfully secured the turn to answer appeared on the screen.
[Congratulations to Tartaglia for successfully securing the chance to answer!] [Participant Tartaglia, please provide your answer!] Tartaglia: “Hahaha, it turns out I’m the one who got it this time?
What great luck.” As one of the Fatui Harbingers, Tartaglia possessed a vast intelligence network.
He had incredibly detailed information regarding the powerful figures across the Seven Nations, and Master Jean of the Knights of Favonius was no exception.
Tartaglia knew perfectly well that although Jean held the position of Acting Grand Master, she had actually inherited the title of Lion of the South.
Many people in Mondstadt knew this fact.
He also knew that the Traveler was currently in Mondstadt, so the blonde young man had to be aware of that honorary title.
Therefore, he was absolutely certain this option couldn’t be wrong.
Tartaglia immediately called out with full confidence, “I choose D, Lion of the South!” [Incorrect Answer!] [Punishment: The power of ‘Foul Legacy’ will be forcibly confiscated for one month!] Tartaglia’s eyes widened in shock.
“Wrong answer?!
How is that possible?
Jean obviously holds the title of Lion of the South!” The next second, the live broadcast of the punishment execution played on the screen.
Tartaglia, who was currently at the Northland Bank, was instantly spotlighted and appeared on the stream room’s screen.
He could even see his own reflection on the broadcast.
Tartaglia laughed out loud arrogantly.
“Interesting!
Very interesting!
I’d like to see how you plan on taking my power!
After all, this is a combat technique I learned from the Abyss.
Both the skills and the power have completely merged with my body.
It’s impossible for anyone to forcefully take this power away!” However, in the very next second, Tartaglia’s arrogant expression instantly warped into a look of excruciating agony, bringing him to his knees.
Cold sweat poured down his entire body.
He felt an immensely tormenting pain in every inch of his body.
His internal organs felt like they were being burned alive.
Then, the dark energy of the Foul Legacy began to detach and fade from within him, vanishing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Tartaglia gritted through the pain with great difficulty.
But once he realized his power was gone, he was struck by sheer horror.
He truly couldn’t feel even a spark of his Foul Legacy energy anymore.
In fact, his muscle memory and the techniques of his lethal moves were instantly forgotten, as if they had been erased from his brain with no way to recall them.
“How is this possible…?” he muttered in disbelief.
“My power is truly gone?
Even my memories were snatched away?!”
