Chapter 729 I Like Big Scenes
When Fu Ningna saw that Xu Ning did not continue to ask about the prophecy, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but then her attention was drawn back to the debate below.
Xu Ning casually found an empty seat in the VIP section, sat there drinking, and pondered the cause and effect of this series of events.
Marcel, also known as Vacher, had come to the Palace of Momeng and the Court of Justice for help twenty years ago when Vinier dissolved in the small pool of that ruin.
According to the information he obtained from Charlotte, the prophecy truly became popular when Fontaine experienced its first flood season, which was at least four or five hundred years ago.
Logically speaking, neither Funina nor Navelette could remain indifferent to this prophecy that has been circulating for hundreds of years and foretells the destruction of Fontaine; they would probably have already begun an investigation.
So why did they remain indifferent to such a crucial clue provided by Vasher?
Xu Ning glanced at Funina standing in front of her. This water god, who clearly lacked the authority of a water deity, was someone she probably couldn't command at all, the legendary authority that permeated the water system.
Even if she investigates in secret, her power is probably quite limited.
The judge Navelette, on the other hand, not only wielded great power but also had a group of exceptionally talented Melusins who practically regarded him as a father, making him both loved and feared by everyone.
Is it possible that he didn't know either?
Kong and Paimon obtained the name of Vashe at Lu Jingquan. With this information, which was very likely from a witness to the dissolution, they went to find Navelette. What did Navelette say?
Kong said, "Navilet is quite certain that the name Vasher has not been mentioned in any of the cases in recent years, neither in the files nor in his mind..."
Does Navette's "in recent years" include twenty years ago?
Did he consciously conceal certain key information without lying?
And most importantly, what exactly is this Navelette? And what is his relationship with Funina, the water goddess?
While Xu Ning was pondering, the trial below continued.
With all the witnesses and evidence present, Marcel, also known as Vacher, had basically nothing to hide.
Not only the serial disappearances of teenage girls, but also the Carles murder case, including the previous Vaughn dissolution case, were all revealed in detail.
The Fontainebleau residents in the stands suddenly felt a familiar sense of fullness; it was another day of eating melons until they were sick of them!
"This...this Gabriel Merchant Guild is simply wicked, they've done so many evil deeds. I'm starting to miss the death penalty in other countries."
"Wait a minute, there shouldn't be more than just these charges. Weren't many powerful figures, including members of parliament, also purged by them?"
"Tch! You call that a crime? That's called a reduced sentence..."
Since the murderer confessed to the crime, Villette didn't say much. She simply sorted out the whole truth, made a guilty verdict, and then waited for the imperial decree to make the final judgment.
"According to the decree of the Cardinal, Mr. Václav—is guilty!"
The guards came up and took Vasher away.
The young master stood up from the audience and applauded, saying, "Great! The real culprit has been caught, the injustice has been redressed, and everyone is happy... Since I've been able to enjoy such a good show, I won't blame you for arresting the wrong person. I have other things to do, so I'll be leaving now!"
Navelette gestured and said, “Please wait a moment, Mr. D'Artagnan. According to the trial procedure, this case arose because of you, and ultimately, a verdict must be reached on your guilt.”
The young master chuckled, "Isn't this redundant? What a hassle, standing here, huh?"
Navelette nodded. "After...the trial, it was found that Mr. D'Artagnan had no direct connection with the serial disappearances of the girls. The murderer is someone else, and Mr. D'Artagnan should be found innocent...Finally, the final decision shall be made by the Cardinal of the Decree."
"Another farce is over. I never want to listen to any more court hearings. It's so boring, just playing house with these villains."
Xu Ning stretched and said, "Let this young master take me to find that 'father.' I should also see what role the Fools are going to play on the grand stage of Fontaine."
"According to the decree ruling on the Cardinal's trial, Mr. D'Artagnan... is guilty."
"guilty?"
The entire theater suddenly erupted in noise.
"Hey, hey, hey, this isn't funny anymore. When I confessed, they wouldn't let me, they insisted on proving my innocence. Now that I'm leaving, you're handing me a guilty verdict. Are you sure you're not just messing with me?"
The young master immediately objected.
This Teyvat dares to treat himself like a joke? The Fontaine Inquisition is the first... the second. Are you ready to face my wrath?
Navelette spoke slowly, "Subject to the decree of the Cardinal, we will adopt the guilty verdict. Guards, proceed with the proceedings!"
The guards could tell that the young master did not want to be captured, so they immediately released the mechanical guards responsible for the arrest.
The young master sneered, "So, the grand scene I've been waiting for has finally arrived? Since you're using such absurd principles to condemn me, then I'll follow my own principles."
Pulling down the mask on his forehead, the young master's entire body suddenly unleashed a torrent of lightning power, like a purple lotus blooming, directly maximizing the power of the Evil Eye.
Xu Ning had already reached the edge of the second floor by this time, but he did not look at the young master.
Those mechanical guards were nothing but chickens and dogs in front of the executive officer, and Xu Ning couldn't be bothered to care about the guy's safety at all.
He glanced at the Water God first.
Very good, "Silly Fufu" has just come online. It seems that the result of the decree to judge the cardinal was not due to her behind-the-scenes manipulation.
So it's the judgment given by the oracle itself. Xu Ning glanced at the huge scales. This is interesting.
Of course, there's an even more interesting show coming up next.
"So the question seems to have come back to my original one. If the law enforcement can't punish the person who committed the crime, then what should their crime be called?"
Xu Ning could tell that after getting rid of the Eye of God, the young master's strength had actually increased rather than decreased. Not only was the power of the Evil Eye being activated more, but he was also using his Demon King Armor more skillfully.
This guy immediately activated all his buffs and unabashedly unleashed his hostility towards the Supreme Judge's seat, clearly wanting to test the Supreme Judge's mettle.
Navelette's face darkened, and she slowly but quickly stood up, her hands resting on the armrests of the high-backed chair.
Before the light blue figure could even stand up completely, it had already transformed into a streak of light and shot straight towards the young master in the arena.
A tremendous sound of the tide suddenly echoed over the opera house.
At the same time, a thunderous roar suddenly erupted from the VIP section on the other side.
Two enormous sounds collided and clashed in the center of the stage.
