Section 218

"Okay, from now on, I probably won't be able to see you for a long time." The person in the mirror said.

"Ah? Are you leaving?" Finina was a little flustered, "But the method to fight the prophecy..."

Everyone will melt in the sea water, leaving only the water god crying on the throne... Terrible prophecy, but the person in the mirror said that there is a way to fight it.

"Don't worry." The person in the mirror smiled, "My departure is to make the final preparation to fight the prophecy. Don't worry, even if I'm not here, I will always be with you."

"Is that so? Well, although it's still a little lonely, but... Well, it doesn't matter!"

In the past, only here could I not play the role of a god, and I wouldn't be so tired.

But now I can also confide in Reid, so I won't be so sad.

"Then, goodbye~"

The person in the mirror said goodbye.

"Goodbye."

Finina waved.

Until the other party disappeared in the mirror, she exhaled, and her heart suddenly felt a little empty, as if a best friend had gone far away and it would take a long time to meet... Frustrated, lost, in short, very sad.

Just when she was about to go talk to Reid, the guard suddenly knocked on the door.

"Lord Water God, someone from the Tribunal is here."

Funina was stunned. Tribunal? Oh, there is another new case to be tried. Did they invite me?

Huh~ Huh~

She took a deep breath, came out of the emotion of her friend's departure, and then turned into the confident and arrogant Lord Water God that the people of Fontaine usually saw.

Walking out of the room, two persons in charge and a small team of guards came to the Tribunal.

The guard who knocked on the door opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopped.

"Let's go." Funina said with a smile.

Just like usual.

Strange, why is the atmosphere of these people not right...Funina walked out of Momang Palace and walked towards the Tribunal accompanied by everyone. She played her own role, from the tone of voice to the posture, but what was different from usual was that everyone seemed to be silent.

Funina felt puzzled, but still followed the usual rhythm. When she entered the Tribunal, she walked to her seat.

However, a steady voice soon came from the judge's seat.

That position was the highest judge of Fontaine - Villette.

He looked at the girl and said calmly: "Ms. Funina, your position this time is not in the audience, but in the dock."

As soon as the voice fell, the atmosphere in the audience was instantly ignited.

"oooooh!"

"Here it comes."

"Wow~! Trial of the water god... This is simply the most amazing scene in the history of Fontaine!"

"I didn't expect that I could see such a thing in my lifetime. It's really worth my life!"

"But... Is this kind of thing really okay?"

"As long as it is allowed by the law, it's okay? Doesn't the law say that the water god cannot be judged?"

There were waves of excited, surprised, or nervous discussions in the audience.

"Huh?"

Funina was stunned and even forgot to disguise herself for a moment... Trial of the water god? Trial of me? This is still...

The lights on the stage were turned on, and the interweaving of light and darkness formed a sharp contrast. Standing under the lights, Funina instantly became the focus of everyone present. She had long been accustomed to this situation, but this time she was not playing the role of a solo dancer, but the "sinner" being judged.

A majestic voice came from the judge's seat——

"The court is in session."

...

Chapter 127 Funina, don't cry [w-word request for monthly tickets and full subscription! ]

Fontaine, one figure after another ran towards the direction of the courtroom.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Something big has happened!"

"Lord Water God is going to be tried!"

"Oh my God, what's going on? Who is so bold as to try Lord Water God?"

"Of course the trial was done by Lord Villette, but it is said that the plaintiff is Dean Arya of the Academy of Sciences."

"Rumor has it that it seems to be related to Lord Water God's plan to build the Opikle Opera House."

"What does this have to do with the Academy of Sciences?"

"You'll know when you go there... But trying a god is so exciting, it's like a drama."

The new God of Water has only been in office for two months, and it's really shocking that such a thing has happened.

And so far, most of the people of Fontaine who have seen Funina have a good impression of her. She is arrogant and confident, and always maintains a surprising drama. It has to be said that every time Funina's "performance" is very contagious, people can't help but fall into her rhythm.

There is no need to delve into divinity, but to fight against humanity... Funina has been studying the image of the God of Water in the minds of the people of Fontaine, and her performance has been very successful so far.

So in this situation, the trial of the God of Water appeared.

In addition to shock, there was also confusion, and a strong expectation for the upcoming scene that was both a trial and a drama.

"——The court is in session."

When the voice fell, the lively courtroom suddenly became quiet.

That Villette sat in the judge's seat.

He was wearing a black coat with blue stripes, and his handsome face was full of solemnity, giving people a sense of calm and serious majesty.

His silver pupils watched everything in the court.

At the moment of entering the trial, his emotions were as calm as a calm lake, but the occasional ripples proved that his mood at the moment was not calm.

After all, the one being judged now was the Water God who originally invited him to become the Supreme Judge. However, the Water God now seemed slightly different from that time.

Although Navilette did not participate in the discussion among the people of Fontaine on the authenticity of the water god, as Funina took office longer and longer, some of the behaviors she showed were spread to his ears. For outsiders, He commented that he was "more of a star than a god", but he actually had some doubts in his heart.

Which one is the real Funina?

Or rather, it's just that as a water goddess, outsiders can't see her true side.

These thoughts flashed through my mind, and then the trial began in earnest.

In the plaintiff's seat, Arya appeared in everyone's sight.

The light in the entire theater became dim, leaving only two rays of light falling on the plaintiff and defendant respectively. Compared to Arya who looked calm and smiling, Funina walked into the defendant's seat in ignorance. They were all a bit unresponsive.

No matter how much she practiced in secret and how much she imagined possible emergencies, she never thought that such a thing would happen!

Woohoo...what the hell is going on? How could I be judged? Do gods also have to be judged? What to do, what to do...Funina, who had recovered from the downtime, suppressed the panic and anxiety in her heart and comforted herself that it was okay. She was just completing a performance under the spotlight... But when her eyes met the one she was sitting on, When those people in the audience faced each other, their bodies couldn't help but tremble.

The silence and the gathering of suspicious glances made her feel unnatural.

In the past, they were all the people they met during daily inspections. They were aroused by Fu Nina's speech and the atmosphere created by her. Everyone's expressions were filled with excitement and admiration. But when the identity of the Water God faded away and she was replaced by the identity of the 'judged person', Funina felt that everything had changed.

"Why does Lord Water God look so uneasy?"

The people in the audience are always careful enough to notice that unlike the highlight moments where they usually bloom with emotions and infect others, at this moment, Lord Water God, who is standing under the spotlight, looks a little thin, even pitiful and helpless.

"Lady Funina!"

At this time, the silent theater was broken by Arya's voice.

"I sincerely apologize and feel deeply panicked about this trial. I never thought that one day I would stand in the courtroom and challenge Fontaine's most beloved Water God, but I had to do it!"

Her voice was loud, like an actor reading lines on stage, which startled Funina.

"Huh? Lady Funina, haven't you reacted yet?" A flash of doubt flashed in Arya's eyes, "This is the trial court, a place where justice is above all else. You who are most familiar with trial and justice should know What does the current situation mean?"

Although there are many rumors about 'the water god is fake', Arya had never doubted it before, but now she can't help but have some doubts after seeing Funina's performance... This is also the thought of everyone in the audience.

"It's a bit out of shape."

"No way, are you confused just by standing in the dock?"

"Didn't you say that you still have to judge the gods? This little mental endurance is not enough."

"Don't be like this, I'm still looking forward to a wonderful showdown."

The buzz is getting louder and louder.

Drama, in Fontaine, the trial is also a drama.

Compared with giving it justice, many Fontaine people have obviously stronger expectations for its process.

What they want is to enjoy a wonderful showdown in the court and experience the ups and downs and plot twists. As for the final justice, that is the matter of the supreme judge.

This attitude towards trial has been long-standing among Fontainebleau people, and it may seem a bit wrong to outsiders, because the trial itself is to enforce justice for crimes.

at this time.

Everyone's eyes fell on Funina.

Just win? ...If an opponent doesn't even have the desire to fight, then defeating him is effortless. Arya couldn't help but think, and then suddenly felt a little excited and looking forward to it. Anyway, to be able to defeat the Water God in a trial, What a high honor it would be.

"Hahahaha..." At this moment, Funina, who had been hanging her head, suddenly let out a series of laughter, "Hahaha~ You guys, you won't be fooled by me like this, right? It's a shame that I had to do it before. I was looking forward to it, wondering if you would be more vigilant after what happened last time, but... well, my people, you can't fall in the same place a second time."

Funina raised her head, her expression was arrogant, her eyes were bright, her hands on her hips and her head held high, she was not as weak and helpless as before.

Everyone was shocked.

Then it dawned on me.

"So that's it. This is Lady Funina's performance again."

"Hey, let me tell you, Lady Funina is the Goddess of Water. How could she be frightened by a mere trial?"

"Hmph~ I think she is just pretending. This guy must be fake."
