Each of the Fatui Harbingers has their own subordinates. For instance, Bai Luo's subordinates are the Debt Collectors.
And this Igor was a subordinate of [The Regrator], Pantalone.
When Her Majesty the Tsaritsa began to lay her plans across the seven nations, The Regrator was quick to cast his net into every country. Igor was one of The Regrator's idle pawns.
However, Watatsumi Island turned out to be more... barren than anyone had imagined. As a result, The Regrator lost interest in the place, and Liyue became his target instead.
And Igor... was abandoned by The Regrator.
But Igor did not lose heart because of this. To prove himself to The Regrator, he managed to secure a foothold for the Fatui on Watatsumi Island all by himself.
Later, when the Vision Hunt Decree was belatedly implemented, and Watatsumi Island began to form a resistance, Igor seized the opportunity and made a spectacular comeback. Even The Regrator's attention was drawn back to him.
To have developed to such a scale on Watatsumi Island on his own, Igor was a clever man. He knew that The Regrator's renewed interest was not because of how well he had done, but purely because of the trade between Watatsumi Island and Liyue.
But he never expected that the Battousai would also arrive at Watatsumi Island on a ship from Liyue.
In fact, with his public identity, he was not qualified to participate in today's banquet. But due to the uncertain factor of the Battousai, he had taken the risk of potential exposure and squeezed himself onto the list.
Fortunately, he had also mimicked others' enthusiasm for the Battousai in his daily life, so his behavior was only seen as that of a fan, and no one suspected anything.
But he never, ever expected that this nameless ronin who had shaken all of Inazuma was actually the Twelfth of the Fatui Harbingers—Lord Instructor!
"Mr. Li, you should head back first."
After the initial excitement, Igor calmly sent the old man with the goatee back.
He could see that the Instructor did not quite trust this native of Watatsumi.
He could understand this. After all, Lord Instructor had maintained the identity of the Battousai for so long; he would never dare to expose it.
Even though Mr. Li had expressed his loyalty multiple times, he was, after all, not from Snezhnaya.
Mr. Li was also a clever man. He didn't connect Bai Luo's identity to a Fatui Harbinger. He only assumed that Bai Luo had seen through their Fatui identities and wanted to make some kind of deal with them.
And this deal was something that he, a native of Watatsumi Island, could not know about.
So he tactfully left.
"Igor of the Fatui's Third Special Affairs Division pays his respects to you, Lord Instructor!"
Igor's voice was low, but filled with power.
If not for the special circumstances, he would have definitely roared out these words with all his might.
No wonder... no wonder this Battousai could touch the realm of the gods with a mortal body.
If he was a Harbinger, then everything could be explained.
If there was anyone in this world who could shake the position of the gods, it was definitely those twelve Harbingers.
At least, that was what the Fatui believed.
Because each of these twelve Harbingers held authority bestowed by the Tsaritsa herself.
"You are not to tell anyone about my affairs, not even the person you trust the most. Treat me as you normally would. Understood?"
"Yes, my lord!"
Igor's heart was beating fast. He knew what the Instructor's words meant. It meant that the other party trusted him very much.
And he would definitely live up to that trust.
"What is the current situation on Watatsumi Island?"
After giving his instructions, Bai Luo began to ask about the state of Watatsumi Island.
Judging by the spies at the banquet, Watatsumi Island should have been severely infiltrated.
"Reporting to you, my lord. Through our efforts, we have developed our own insiders within both the army and the Watatsumi resistance. Even among the shrine maidens of Sangonomiya Shrine, we have our people. If you wish, my lord... we can even take down Sangonomiya Shrine completely within five days and change the leadership of Watatsumi Island."
"..."
Hiss... a bit scary.
Bai Luo had thought that the Fatui had only infiltrated a part of Watatsumi Island. Now it seemed... the blood flowing on Watatsumi Island probably had a Fatui component.
But... was Watatsumi Island really that easy to infiltrate?
He didn't think that Divine Priestess was so easy to fool.
"In the next few days, find a way to deliver your plans to my room. Remember to use coded language. I will consider them carefully."
"Yes!"
In fact, even if Bai Luo hadn't taken the initiative to ask, Igor would have found an excuse to present these things to him.
He had worked so hard on Watatsumi Island purely to prove one thing to his superiors: he was by no means incompetent.
Unfortunately, although he had prepared a lot of information, his direct superior, The Regrator, had no intention of looking at it.
Originally, Lord Instructor and Lord Scaramouche were in Inazuma City, but Lord Instructor was transferred to Mondstadt by the Tsaritsa, and Lord Scaramouche was not interested in such things.
Now that he had found an opportunity, how could he possibly miss it?
"By the way, is there any news from Sumeru recently?"
Bai Luo was about to leave, but he seemed to have remembered something. He stopped and asked Igor.
For someone like Igor, information should be relatively accessible.
"Hmm... there is, but it's not good news."
Igor seemed to have thought of something, and his expression became a little strange.
He became hesitant, as if he didn't dare to say something.
"Speak. What is it?"
"The girl Collei you sent to Sumeru, along with a Liyue woman who controls Hydro, infiltrated one of our Fatui strongholds in Sumeru and killed an ambassador and a counselor on the spot."
"..."
"L... Lord?"
Seeing the gradually silent Bai Luo, Igor didn't know how to comfort him.
After all, this kind of thing could be considered a family misfortune, right?
"Really..."
Bai Luo punched the seashell next to him, and the seashell shattered on impact, causing Igor to look on in amazement.
This was a seashell created by the Great God of Watatsumi with his divine power. Its hardness was not comparable to that of an ordinary seashell.
It was said that it could even withstand elemental power, but it had been shattered by Instructor.
"Lord Instructor, actually..."
"Well done, little Collei!"
Igor: "???"
Seeing the smile on Bai Luo's lips, Igor finally understood. This Instructor wasn't angry because his student had killed his own subordinates. He was clearly happy for his student's growth.
That's right, that was exactly what Bai Luo was thinking.
Even with outsiders present, to be able to take down a stronghold, and to do so with a diplomat and a counselor present, was enough to prove that he hadn't been wrong about her.
The last person to accomplish such a feat was called the Darknight Hero.
Did this mean his student also had five-star potential? That she could also get into the gacha pool!
What? She killed Fatui?
Does my student killing Fatui have anything to do with me being a Fatui Harbinger?
