Chapter 146 Court Opens! The Truth Revealed to the People of Fontainebleau

"Oh~ then tell me what's wrong with it?" Los Saint looked at the expectant Barbatos with a half-smile.

"This, I..." Barbatos hung his head in a daze, his lips moving for a long time but he couldn't say anything coherent. He couldn't very well say something like, "Lord Tenri, why did you break your promise?"

"Hehe... Don't look like you're about to die. It's just that Fontaine is in a bit of a hurry, so we're using the moon as a temporary transit point." Los Saint said with amusement, looking at Barbatos who seemed like a punching bag.

"Really!" Barbatos instantly perked up and let out a long sigh of relief. I knew it! How could someone of Lord Tenri's stature possibly break a promise?

"No problem, absolutely no problem, I fully support you."

The moon is so big that Mondstadt couldn't possibly use it all, so using it as a transit point would be a good thing for both him and Mondstadt.

If the seven kingdoms of Teyvat all transit through the moon, then even if the planets of the seven kingdoms are far apart in the future, they will still have different relationships with the moon to varying degrees, which will benefit Mondstadt.

"Are we going to move Fontaine there right now? Aren't you worried that the people won't cooperate?" Barbatos asked the water god.

“If they don’t want to cooperate, then they don’t have to. I respect the choice of every Fontaine. I will reveal part of the truth, tell them their identities and that the world is about to be destroyed. If they want to leave, they can leave; if they don’t want to leave, I won’t force them. I respect everything they say,” Funina said without hesitation.

Although she wanted to bring all the Fontaines there, she couldn't ignore their own thoughts.

Navelette nodded: "That's right. Even if we force those who don't want to leave to go, they will resent us in the future. We think it's good for them, but they don't think so, so we shouldn't force them to do anything."

"..." Barbatos looked at Vilette and Funina with a strange feeling. How come your ideas are so in line with 'freedom', even more so than mine, the god of freedom and breeze.

"Lord Tianli, how much longer will it take for Mars to undergo ecological restoration?" Zhongli asked after a moment's thought.

“Mars is the next planet to be terraformed, and it’s almost here, within the next ten days, maybe even sooner, or within seven days if we’re lucky,” Los Saint said with a smile.

When the terraforming of the moon began, Bai Yuekui had already sent the spacecraft to Mars, which happened to be during the period when Mars was closest to Earth.

With the original human space travel technology, it would take at least six months to travel from Earth to Mars using a gravity slingshot. However, Bai Yuekui developed a supersonic rocket, and a supersonic spacecraft that only pursues speed. The original six-month journey to Mars was reduced to just over twenty days.

Bai Yuekui has a great interest in spacecraft research, and has even developed a 'controlled nuclear fusion' engine to mount on a spacecraft, increasing the speed of space travel by more than ten times.

At Bai Yuekui's research and development speed, he will probably be able to visit all the planets in the solar system in less than a year.

"Within seven days, that's fine. I'll wait another seven days and then we'll move to Mars in one fell swoop." A weight was lifted off Zhong Li's shoulders. He was actually a little worried that the large-scale disappearance of the population in Fontaine would provoke a reaction from Sky Island.

Sky Island has been largely inactive for the past five hundred years, and even the four maintainers have not turned their attention to the mainland for decades.

But one can't be too afraid of the unexpected. Although he wasn't afraid of those four, he was only not afraid. If they really fought, even at his peak, he probably wouldn't last more than twenty moves.

"Lord Tenri, I wonder if, besides humans, my Liyue Rock Dragon Lizard clan is also able to travel to your world?" Ruoduo asked.

“Most of the dragon lizards nowadays lack intelligence. If they did, I certainly wouldn’t refuse,” Luo Sheng said.

Currently, there are very few intelligent dragon lizards outside of Nata.

If non-intelligent elemental beings were to choose, a vast number could be created on Earth; would there be a need to import them from Teyvat?

Are we just going to import them from Teyvat to be farmed by humans as monsters? That's way too much trouble.

Ruo Tuo sighed silently. Although he was the king of the Rock Dragon Lizard clan, there was nothing he could do about it since it lacked intelligence. After all, according to the principles of nature that favor humans, a life without intelligence was no different from a wild beast. Even he himself had never looked down on a dragon lizard without intelligence.

"Then, you can go about your business." With a thought, Luo Sheng blurred the surrounding space and was back in the tea room of Mo Mang Palace in the next moment.

"I want to go out and see what the world is like."

After all, once the seven nations of Teyvat moved to the solar system, the world would no longer be the way they remembered it.

Los Saint walked out of the tea room, where the tea that Villette had brewed for him was still warm, with half of it remaining on the table.

The three gods bowed slightly to show their respect as Luo Sheng left.

“I apologize to the three of you. I should have treated you to a meal, but the situation is urgent, so please make yourselves at home,” Navelette said, looking at Barbatos, Zhongli, and Ruoduo.

"This is the first time I've ever seen gods and dragons from other countries, and I never expected it to happen at such a critical moment." Funina looked at Zhongli and Barbatos with some fear.

Although she has been recognized as the Water Goddess by Lord Tenri, she is still essentially an ordinary human. She was still very nervous in front of the two highly respected seniors when Lord Tenri was not around.

For her two predecessors, her comical portrayal of the water god over the past five hundred years must have been quite amusing.

Seeing that Funina's eyes were filled with fear of him and Barbatos, Zhongli did not show contempt. Instead, he said sincerely, "Ms. Funina, you don't need to worry about me. I will not interfere in anything concerning Fontaine. If you need help, I will do my best to lend a hand."

"When we travel to unfamiliar universes in the future, the seven nations of Teyvat should be more united and have more sincere friendships."

“The old man is right,” Barbatos said with a grin. “We seven gods have always been friends. Besides, Lady Funina, you are a remarkable goddess. The wind has already told me your story.”

"If I were in your position, I couldn't do what you do, so I really admire you."

"Really?" Funina was deeply moved as she looked at the Wind God and the Rock God, who were full of kindness towards her. It was wonderful to be recognized by her seniors as a junior.

“Of course it’s true.” Zhongli nodded. Even though the woman in front of him, Funina, was just an ordinary person, he still thought she was a qualified water goddess, at least better than Barbatos, who would wander around Liyue all the time.

"I... I'm not as good as the two seniors say," Funina said, but her confidence instantly surged.

"Then I shall take my leave now. I will prepare a banquet to entertain you two seniors after this matter is over. Please do not refuse."

Barbatos's eyes lit up: "A banquet! Oh my, there's going to be a feast! I'm so embarrassed. I've heard that Fontaine's fruit wines are also very diverse. Just thinking about them makes my mouth water."

Barbatos, that's his thing, but even if he's the god of wind, he can't just freeload off his people.

So he could only return to his old job as a bard, earning so little each day that he couldn't even afford a single cup of wine, and the people didn't offer him, the god of wind, any wine on a regular basis.

He didn't actually have much alcohol to drink, and he couldn't drink as much as he wanted; he lived a very frugal life.

"..." Zhongli looked at the shameless Barbatos and wanted to take a few steps away from him.

“Then I’ll take my leave,” said Funina, turning and leaving, with Villette calmly following behind. “Grandpa, you’re busy too, I’ll go for a stroll in Fontaine,” Barbatos said to Zhongli, before also leaving the tea room.

For him, opportunities to openly and legitimately wander around other countries are few and far between.

Even Liyue, where he often goes for walks, has to let the old man know first, lest the old man misunderstand that a meteorite has been thrown at him.

“Fontaine, I really haven’t been anywhere except Liyue,” Ruoduo said.

Zhong Li didn't say anything, and walked out with his hands behind his back like an old man.

For him, it was also a unique experience, walking openly and legitimately in cities of other countries.

Before Funina and Navelette had even left the Momang Palace, a group of people ran towards them, led by Navia, the young lady of the Thorn Rose Society.

"Supreme Judge Navelette, and Lady Funina, I have found the culprit in the decades-long 'serial disappearances of young girls' case, and all the evidence!" Navia exclaimed, unable to contain her emotions, even before she reached Funina.

"Please begin the trial immediately. I want to expose all the truth and crimes to the public."

"What? The killer in the serial disappearances of teenage girls has been found?" Fu Ningna was somewhat taken aback, especially at this time.
“That’s right, Lady Funina, our Rose Society has found the murderer.” Navia was breathing heavily from the strenuous exercise.

Navia's voice attracted the attention of the surrounding Fontainebleau residents, who were all incredibly surprised and excited.

"What? The truth behind the serial disappearances of teenage girls has been found?"

"Has this 20-year-old cold case finally been solved today?"

"Although the 'Injustice of Carles' case a few years ago caused the Rose Society to decline from its peak, they have indeed been investigating the 'serial disappearance of girls' case."

"Big news, this is really big news!"

"This is indeed big news. It's a pity that the Water God has not yet repaired the 'Cardinal Decree'. Is it really okay for the truth of such a big case to come to light?"

"Indeed, this is really worrying."

Navelette frowned slightly. At such a crucial moment, the truth of such a major case had come to light, which put him in a bit of a dilemma.

After thinking for a moment, Funina quickly said, "Alright, such a big case must be tried immediately." As she spoke, she looked at the Rock God and the Wind God who came out.

"Hmm?" Barbatos instantly understood what Funina was trying to do: "Don't worry, Ms. Funina, I will help you."

The water god intended to use this sensational trial in Fontaine to reveal the origins of the Fontaine people and the impending destruction of Teyvat, thereby directly urging the Fontaine people to travel to another world.

As the god of wind, he knew very well about the 'serial disappearances of girls' case; the wind would tell him everything.

“I will also provide support,” Zhongli said with his hands behind his back. If Barbatos could see through it, he could naturally see through it as well.

"Thank you so much." Funina's eyes were full of gratitude. She then coughed lightly, stepped forward, and looked at the growing crowd of Fontainebleau citizens. She opened her arms and shouted.

"The elegant, kind, and lovely people of Fontainebleau."

"At this moment, I am very glad that the truth of the 'serial disappearance of girls' case, which has lasted for decades without finding the killer, has come to light."

"What is the truth? How did Navia, the young lady of the Rose Thorn Society, find this decades-old mystery?"

"Then please have all newspapers announce this important matter: the trial will begin promptly at nine o'clock tomorrow!"

"Not only that, I will also reveal to everyone the truth of the long-standing prophecy that Fontaine will be submerged in water, all the people of Fontaine will dissolve in the water, and only the water god will be left to weep on his throne."

"Therefore, as the beloved and revered queen of all waters, all directions, and all laws, and the goddess of justice, I will also invite Morax, the Geo Archon of Liyue, and Barbatos, the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt, to attend the Trial Court."

"Rejoice! Celebrate! Spread the word! Tell everyone, my people of Fontaine, this will be a turning point in everyone's destiny."

As soon as Funina finished speaking, the Fontaine people gathered around her fell silent, staring at her in disbelief for a long time before they could process what they had just heard.

"What?! They're going to reveal the truth behind that bizarre prophecy too!"

"Not only that, they're also inviting the Geo Archon of Liyue and the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt! Good heavens!"

"It is said that the wind god of Mondstadt has not shown its face for a thousand years."

"Yes, even though the Geo Archon of Liyue appears every year, no one has ever seen his true face."

"Incredible! Since two deities have been invited to attend, could the prophecy be true?"

"Oh my god, if it's true, Fontaine will be submerged. Inviting the Geo Archon and the Anemo Archon... could it be that they're planning to immigrate to Mondstadt and Liyue before the disaster strikes?!"

"That's very possible! Does revealing the truth now mean that Fontaine is about to be submerged?"

"This is really big news, super big news!" A pink-haired girl wearing a red and white outfit and a newsboy cap kept pressing the shutter button on her camera, her mouth watering with excitement.

"This isn't just news that's making headlines in Fontaine; this is a super, super big news story that's going to shake the entire Teyvat!"

"Shocking!!! Three gods have gathered in the court of judgment. What truth will they reveal? What turning point will this be for the people of Fontaine? Where will the future lead? I've already come up with the headline!"

"I'm the only reporter here right now! I, Charlotte, will definitely become famous throughout Teyvat because of this candid photo of Lady Frynn!"

Los Saint never left. This scene was actually within his calculations. He had been waiting for this moment when he told Navia the truth.

“A decree to the Cardinals? At a time like this, let’s get it moving and tell the people that you’ve fixed it.” Los Saint’s voice rang in Frynn’s ears.

Funina paused for a moment, looked around, and was pleasantly surprised. She quickly addressed the excited and noisy crowd: "For such an important event, the decree to adjudicate the cardinal has been repaired by me, so there is no need to worry about whether it is fair or not."

Besides, with the Rock God and the Wind God present, the people wouldn't feel there was any injustice.

Navelette said seriously, "Court of Law, Court of Shadows, now take all the suspects into custody based on Miss Navia's information, so that they do not disappear before the trial begins."
