Genshin Impact, Teyvat's own beloved immortal.

Claudia has lost!

"Hmm... how could this be..."

Clarinde struggled to sit up, her face filled with disbelief. She crawled with all her might to pick up her sword, but when she actually touched the hilt, she suddenly threw the sword away in frustration and surrendered.

This is the rule of the duel: once either side loses their weapon, regardless of whether they still have the strength to fight, they have already lost.

Moreover, he had just lost his only chance to win because his body suddenly became extremely sluggish.

Despite her resentment, Clarinde had to admit that she could never be a match for Sherlock.

Justice Navelette, who was high and mighty, had a very strange expression on her face at that moment.

The outcome of the duel was certainly unexpected, but what terrified him even more was the strange resonance he felt in the roar he had just heard.

The roar sounded like the language of a dragon, but he couldn't understand it at all.

However, the tremor of the dragon soul within his body was real.

Could he... be a dragon?

Fontaine Chapter: Chapter 145: Clarind, go investigate Sherlock

Now that things have come to this, there's no point in being unwilling anymore.

It is a fact that Sherlock won the duel. As the Lord Chancellor, Navigette could not violate the laws of Fontaine and could only declare Sherlock innocent in court and release him.

As for who he really is, Zhu Yingting will investigate and find out gradually.

He loudly silenced the noisy crowd and solemnly announced: "The outcome of the duel is decided. According to the rules of judicial duels, Mr. Sherlock Moriarty, I, Judge Navigette, declare you innocent and release you in court."

He then added, "But be aware that although your charges have been cleared, your actions will still be bound by Fontaine law and subject to the supervision of Fontaine Court. If you do anything that violates Fontaine law after leaving the courtroom, your next duel opponent will be me."

There was silence.

The fact that the Supreme Justice Navalette became the duel's proxy was unprecedented!

This was also a form of restraint Navelette placed on Sherlock, and a guarantee to the people of Fontainebleau.

After all, the fact that a suspect who caused the bombing was released in court would undoubtedly cause widespread panic in Fontaine.

By demonstrating its own strength, it is enough to dispel public concerns.

Lu Sheng readily agreed: "Okay, can I go now?"

"can."

And so, in front of everyone, Lu Sheng swaggered out of the courtroom.

"Today's legal battle has ended. Please leave in an orderly manner and do not linger."

All procedures have been completed, and the courtroom has begun clearing the audience.

In the end, only the Chief Justice Navelette and the water god remained in the courtroom.

“Ms. Funina, what are your thoughts on this matter?” Navelette suddenly asked Funina.

Funina cleverly replied, "My opinion? I have no opinion. Isn't this in line with Fontaine law? The winner of a judicial duel can be exempted from trial and declared innocent. There's no problem with that."

"I'm referring to Sherlock Holmes. What's your opinion of him?"

Funina hesitated for a moment, then said, "He's very strong."

After a brief silence, Navelette asked, "Is that all?"

"That's all! He was always very strong. Even Clorind wasn't his match. I can say he's very strong, right?"

Navelette sighed. "Aren't you worried that he might endanger Fontaine's safety? After all... his origins are still a mystery."

"Uh...it's alright, I'll take care of finding out the truth! I'll keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't do anything to harm Fontaine!"

It's like the sun rising in the west. It's unexpected that Funina would be interested in something like this.

In the past, she would usually avoid doing anything adventurous.

Villette didn't think much of it; it was probably because Sherlock's existence did indeed threaten Fontaine that the Water God took it seriously.

"Please be careful, this person... is quite dangerous. I will also send people to investigate him, Ms. Funina. I hope you can find out the truth as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Having said that, Navelette left the courtroom and took a boat back to Momon Palace.

"Ugh! This is so annoying! What on earth is that guy doing?! He's driving me crazy!"

Funina complained a few times, jumped off the throne, and stomped her feet to calm herself down.

"Well, things have already come to this point, it's not a bad thing that he was exonerated. At least I can talk to him openly now."

After a harrowing night, Funina was exhausted, sleepy, and hungry. All she wanted to do was go back, eat some cake, and get a good night's sleep.

After she wakes up, she will be Detective Funina!

Later that day, at Mo Mang Palace.

Clarinde, having lost the duel, was summoned by Navigette and arrived at Mormont Palace with a feeling of utter shame, knocking on the door of the High Judge's office.

"Please come in."

A calm and steady voice came from inside.

Clarin gritted her teeth, pushed open the door, and bowed her head to Navelette's desk. Before he could speak, she said self-reproachfully, "I'm sorry! I've disappointed the Shadow Court and the Inquisition! Lord Navelette, please believe me, I have done my best. I did not hold back in this duel."

Villette placed her hands, fingers interlaced, on the table, and comforted her, "It's not your fault, Clarind. Everyone knows you're the best Shadowhunter. No one expected this duel to end this way, not even me..."

"Your Honor, please dismiss me from my post. I am no longer worthy to be the dueling agent of the court, much less a Shadow Hunter."

As she spoke, Clarinde gripped her sword tightly.

How could she possibly accept defeat, especially in such a humiliating way...?

"You have done nothing wrong, so why should you be punished? Legal battles are inherently cruel."

Claude looked up. "Then why did you summon me here?"

Navelette met Clorind's resentful gaze with calm eyes and said, "I want you to approach Sherlock and investigate his origins and intentions."

“What? Me?” Clorind was taken aback. “You want me to investigate him as a loser? I'm sorry, I…”

“Not a loser, but a Shadowhunter.” Navelette emphasized, “Don’t forget, you are the best Shadowhunter, the best candidate to lead the Shadowhunter in the future. No one else can do this job.”

"In addition, the water goddess Funina has also launched an investigation into Sherlock. You need to cooperate with each other and try your best to find out all his secrets."

......

After careful consideration, Claurind accepted the task.

"Please rest assured, I will do my best to complete the mission!"

After the duel, Sherlock became a celebrity throughout Fontaine.

His victory over the strongest dueling agent, Clarinde, was so impressive that his name quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of Fontaine.

Charlotte, the legendary reporter for Steambird, was thrilled and quickly wrote an article, which was published as an extra edition.

In order to capture the hot topic and not be beaten to the punch by her competitors, Charlotte even went so far as to go looking for Sherlock himself, carrying a full set of equipment, hoping to conduct an exclusive interview with him.

Charlotte, in a flurry of energy, rushed through the coffee shop, attracting the attention of a young nobleman who was drinking coffee.

"What's going on? Why are the people of Fontainebleau suddenly becoming agitated?"

D'Artagnan put down his coffee and randomly grabbed a passerby to ask.

When Dardaria learned that someone had defeated Clarinde in a judicial duel, he was instantly thrown into a frenzy.

Are there any experts? !

He had just fought with Clond not long ago. This legendary dueling agent who had never been defeated was indeed living up to her reputation. Her strength was comparable to his own without the Demon Lord Armor. However, before he could have a good time, Clond was summoned away by the Inquisition.

He had been planning to have another fair duel with Clorind, but he never expected that Clorind's undefeated legend would be broken so soon.

Who in Fontaine can defeat Clarinde?

Sherlock... I've never heard of such a person!

Tartaglia was itching to fight.

"I knew I came to the right place! Fontaine is so much fun!"

Fontaine Chapter: Chapter 146: The Old Man Pushing the Cart

Lu Sheng rented a room on a relatively remote street corner in Fontainebleau.

It didn't cost much mora, because the landlord suddenly became very gentle and humble after hearing his name, and directly gave him a 50% discount on the original price, promising never to raise the price in his lifetime.

Little did they know that the landlord was sweating bullets when they rented the room.

A powerful figure who can defeat the strongest dueling agent wants to rent his house, and he still dares to speak loudly?

8. Is it deadly spicy?

Besides, many people outside are offering high prices for information about Sherlock. If we sell the information, the rent will be recovered indirectly.

When the landlord asked Sherlock what he was going to do in Fontainebleau, the answer was absolutely unexpected.

"Then let's open a detective agency."

Lu Sheng said.

He's named himself Sherlock, so opening a detective agency isn't too much to ask, is it?

Moreover, it can pave the way for Furina, allowing her to re-enter the public eye of Fontaine as a wise and insightful ruler who can solve cases with divine insight.

The first step in nurturing her is to get Fu Ningna out of her comfort zone, stop her obsessing over her dream of becoming a B-list celebrity, and force her to face difficulties and dangers head-on.

But before that, he had something even more important to do.

They must be frantic on the other side of Mount Sumeru right now; we need to hurry and send a message back to report.

Moreover, I probably won't be returning to Sumeru anytime soon. Some basic tasks need to be assigned to people, so I'll have the goddess Lisa and Apep temporarily oversee the kingdom for a while.

We'll call them over to help when we need them.

Lu Sheng finished writing the letter, addressed it to Ms. Lisa, and went to the post office in Fontainebleau to mail it.
