Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

After hearing this question, Ying connected all the clues mentioned during the communication with Shao Yun along the way and identified Alfonso as a member of the Fatui.

Facing Ying's accusation, Alfonso was startled for a moment, then turned around, a sad smile appeared on his face, and he slowly said: "Everything you said... doesn't seem to be able to prove my identity..."

However, Ying just stared at him coldly with an expressionless face, and responded in a calm tone: "Yes, this doesn't prove anything, but it doesn't matter."

Hearing this, Alfonso could not help but sigh, nodded slightly to show his agreement, and said with deep emotion: "It is indeed as you said. Only the strict law will be obsessed with the so-called 'evidence'."

"And a 'hound' as sharp as you can just follow that suspicious scent and capture your target accurately."

Then, Alfonso raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a slightly sarcastic smile, and said slowly: "Of course, smart hounds can always keenly perceive which smells they should not smell, so as to cleverly avoid danger and avoid encountering the ferocious and terrifying dragon at the end of the tracking clue."

"What a pity. Judging from your past actions, you are obviously not the kind of person who knows how to protect yourself."

After that, his eyes slowly moved to Shao Yun behind Ying, revealing a trace of complicated emotions, and he said with great emotion: "However, when I saw the man standing behind you at this moment, everything became clear to me."

"I know very well that it would be easy for you to take my life now. The man behind you is absolutely sure that he can wipe me out completely!"

Ying listened to Alfonso's words quietly, without much expression on her face. She just asked calmly, "Since you have admitted that you are a member of the Fatui. Then, what is the matter with the mysterious disappearance of those children in Weimo Manor?"

Alfonso knew that he would not be able to escape this time, and that he would die anyway, so he might as well tell the whole truth.

So he took a deep breath and said slowly: "Well, now that things have come to this, I will no longer hide anything. It was indeed me who ordered the Fatui to capture those missing children."

As soon as these words came out, Ying's eyes widened in disbelief. Her voice unconsciously rose an octave and she shouted angrily, "You...you are actually related to this matter! Why on earth did you work for the Fatui! Why did you do such a cruel thing! "

All along, Ying always believed that Alfonso might have been forced to do so by the Fatui.

But now, hearing him admit with his own mouth that he had done all this on his own initiative, she found it hard to accept. She was eager to find out the real reason why Alfonso did this.

Hearing Ying asking him "why", Alfonso smiled bitterly and sighed softly, "Why? Oh, the reason is actually very simple, because I am the Fatui!"

When Ying heard that Alfonso was actually a member of the Fatui, she screamed, "What? How is this possible!"

However, Alfonso did not avoid Ying's questioning gaze, but frankly revealed his true identity.

"Alfonso, this name was given to me by my blood relatives, but unfortunately it has long been buried under the freezing cold snow. Now, the name given to me by the Hearth House is Trofen Snownetswich."

After saying this, he stared at Ying quietly, waiting for her response.

Sure enough, when Ying heard that special surname, she showed an unnatural expression.

Alfonso keenly caught Ying's momentary loss of composure, and understood what was going on in his heart. He slowly asked, "Judging from your reaction, I guess you have met my 'brothers and sisters' before..."

At this moment, a figure quickly flashed through Ying's mind—Katarina, whom she met in the Layered Abyss.

So she nodded subconsciously and replied: "I have seen her, she is very enthusiastic..."

Before she could finish her words, Alfonso, or Trofen Senetsvich, changed his expression and quickly waved his hand to interrupt her.

"Oh, no, don't tell me who you met, and don't tell me their details. Since they chose to reveal their identities to you..."

"If the brothers and sisters who have been exposed are still doing well, then they must have betrayed Her Majesty the Queen. If they have died... I don't want to hear such news."

Ying was very curious about the term "Heathouse House" and she always wanted to learn about it.

So she took this opportunity to ask Trofen Schnetsevich a question.

"I have heard about Hearth House from your brothers and sisters. Can you tell me more about this place?"

Trofen closed his eyes, recalled deeply, and then began to tell the story.

"Heartland House is an orphanage set up by the 'servant'. The children living in Hearth House are orphans without blood relatives. However, we have found more precious 'brothers and sisters' here."

"When we kids grow up, those with qualifications will be selected and trained to become spies. Then, we will be sent to various places, lying in wait, waiting for orders... I was considered a 'qualified kid' at the time."

After Ying listened to Trofen's introduction to the "House of Hearth", she returned to the point and continued to ask: "Did you let the Fatui kidnap the child in order to lure out Lanaro?"

Trofen nodded. He recalled Lannaro and showed a relieved smile on his face. Then he said, "That's right. Lannaro did show up. Lannaro's power is really magical. He was able to rescue them from the heavily guarded camp without alerting anyone..."

At this point, Trofen Schnetsevich seemed to be at a loss for words. He suddenly laughed, with a hint of helplessness and sarcasm in his voice, and said, "Mr. Doctor, you really have set your eyes on something extraordinary. Hahahaha..."

Ying asked with a confused look on her face: "Doctor? Who is he?"

Trofen explained patiently, "He is the second-in-command of the Fatui. I believe you will have a chance to meet him soon..."

Before he finished speaking, Trofen seemed to realize that he had revealed too much information, so he quickly changed the subject, coughed lightly and said, "Ahem, I may have said a little too much. Now it's my turn to ask questions."

Then, Trofen raised his questions directly without waiting for Ying's consent.

"Why did Lanaro erase the memories of Caius and Sudabei being kidnapped and rescued? Was it because he was worried about his own safety and afraid of exposing some secrets?"

After hearing this, Ying sighed softly and replied, "Lan Lana is not worried about her own safety. She just doesn't want those children to remember these unpleasant events."

When he heard that Lanaro's name was called "Lan Lana", Trofen Shenetsevich was stunned for a moment, and then said with emotion: "So that's it... That Lanaro's name is 'Lan Lana'."

"It sounds very similar to Lana's name. What a great name. If you have a chance, please help me convey a 'thank you' to her."

When Ying heard this, she asked in even greater confusion: "Why should we thank her?"

Trofen expressed his thoughts on his days at Weimo Manor.

"Vimo Manor is like a real home. To me, Lana and Yudan are like the relatives I should have had...Kaus and Sudabai are also my precious brothers and sisters."

"I hope they can grow up healthily and become upright and kind adults."

"So, although it has caused me a lot of trouble in my 'work', I am very grateful to Lan Lana for doing it..."

"Children, there are some things that you should not know. They are full of darkness and uncleanness." Trofen Shenetsevich closed his eyes and recalled, and the words in these memories came out of his mouth involuntarily.

"Young man, when you are still a child, you should enjoy happiness, let your heart be filled with joy, do what you want to do, see the sights you want to see. However, you must also remember the dark days..."

"This is the teaching of the Hearth House. Because you will inevitably face darkness when you grow up, you should be prepared when you are young."

"That way, when you grow up and face those dark moments, you can protect yourself and the people you hold dear."

After saying these words, Trofen Schnetsevich seemed to wake up from a dream.

He opened his eyes with a trace of reluctance and helplessness, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said: "I can understand that you want to kill me. However, if I had not grown up in the Hearth House and had not become a spy stationed in Weimo Manor... If I had been born in Weimo Manor, how great it would have been."

Ying gritted her teeth and said in a low voice: "What's the point of saying this? I only know that you kidnapped the child of Weimo Manor!"

After listening to Ying's words, Trofen's expression remained calm, and he responded calmly: "I know very well that everything I said is meaningless, but deep in my heart I can't help but feel deep regret."

"I really want to be Alfonso forever, instead of Trofen Schnetzwich.

"Because only when I am 'Alfonso' can I become a true brother to Youdan."

Trofen Shenetsevich raised his head slightly, looked at the sky with a confused look, and continued to mutter to himself: "I have fantasized countless times that if possible, I would like to become Lana's relative and become the family of those lovely children.

"But the reality is so cruel and ruthless. I already have a 'home' that I cannot betray no matter what. It is this so-called 'home' that has bound my hands and feet and made me unable to control myself."

Having said this, Trofen Shenetsevich slowly turned his head and looked at Ying with eyes full of envy and helplessness.

"You have two trustworthy and extremely loyal companions by your side, and you have extraordinary strength. More importantly, you belong to neither any city nor any country."

"Even though I am a member of the Knights of Favonius, I am only a free knight of honor."

"I'm afraid that a free and unfettered life like this is something I will never be able to achieve in this lifetime, so I'm afraid you can't understand my current mood and situation at all..."
