Genshin Impact, Teyvat's own beloved immortal.

He opened his palm, and a powerful stream of water gushed out from his palm.

Dartalia, relying on the speed boost provided by the Demon King's Armor, nimbly dodged the jets of water and charged forward fearlessly.

At the same time, the clones had already attacked Lu Sheng from all directions.

However, in the next instant, the water column suddenly started to spin.

Fontaine Chapter: Chapter 158: Silky's Hasty Escape

The powerful current of water is completely devoid of the gentleness that water elements usually possess; it will ruthlessly churn, push aside, and blast away anything that stands in its way.

In less than a second, all of Tartaglia's phantoms were swept away by the Dragon King's shockwave, leaving only his true form.

After being swept several times by the Dragon King's shockwave in a short period of time, the Demon King's Armed Forces lost their initial sharpness, and their surging momentum was forcibly suppressed, unable to advance even an inch.

Even more frightening is that Lu Sheng's rotation speed is still increasing.

The powerful current of water covered almost 360 degrees of the surrounding space, leaving no blind spots, and Dadalia was hit more and more frequently.

The rotation speed continues to increase.

"Holy crap! Is that a spinning top?! I can't tell if it's a jet of water or a wall of water anymore!"

Such a comical and absurd scene in the dueling arena caused the audience to involuntarily stand up from their seats.

Clarind: "What kind of move is that?"

Funina: "I feel a little dizzy..."

Navilette: "..."

Finally, even the formidable Demon King Armor couldn't withstand being slapped more than a dozen times in a second, and was once again sent flying in a sorry state, barely managing to regain his footing with a somersault in the air.

When he looked at Lu Sheng again, he was surprised to find that although the water column was still spinning, the person in the center had disappeared.

"You already lost when you were knocked off the duel arena, so I don't need to let you win any more."

Lu Sheng's voice rang in Dadalia's ears.

He shuddered violently, and before he could react, he was struck in the chest with an incredibly powerful and domineering blow.

The force pierced through the Demon King's armor, and the sound of ribs breaking was clearly audible.

The energy sphere formed from the essence of the abyss on Tartaglia's chest shattered silently, and the entire Demon King Armor set dissipated in an instant.

He had never felt the approach of death so intensely.

His combat-savvy mind went blank, rendering him incapable of any resistance.

At the critical moment, D'Artagnan crushed the crystal his master had given him.

In his heart, he cried out with utmost sincerity, "Master! Please save me!"

Suddenly, everyone in the courtroom heard a low, ethereal cry, like the mournful cry of a whale in the deep sea.

The person closest to Tartaglia was the first to sense a powerful force about to be released from Tartaglia's body.

He quickly withdrew and retreated.

Navelette also noticed something was wrong, her expression changed drastically, and she was almost about to make a move.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the sky above the courtroom, and a girl with long, light purple hair and red eyes appeared from the crack, holding Tadalia in her arms.

A cold, murderous gaze swept across the courtroom as the girl coldly declared, "You ignorant ants, if anything happens to my disciple, I wouldn't hesitate to raze the entire Fontaine to the ground."

“Master…I’m sorry…I’ve disgraced you…” Dadalia said weakly.

"It's alright, with your master here, no one can touch you."

Navelette stared at the girl who had appeared out of nowhere. He could feel that the terrifying power that was about to erupt in Dadalia's body had been suppressed by this girl.

Similarly, the aura emanating from the girl was enough to prove that she was a formidable powerhouse.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the courtroom?"

"Heh, you are not qualified to inquire about my identity. Proud water dragon, have you already fallen in love with the humans of Fontaine? If you see all your people submerged by the tide in the near future, will you shed tears?"

"What do you mean by that? Explain yourself!"

The girl ignored Villette's questions and focused her gaze solely on Lu Sheng.

That smell...it's him!!!

The girl's calm expression suddenly changed. Without daring to linger for even a moment, she fled back into the abyss crevice as if she had seen some ferocious god, concealing all her presence.

She knew better than anyone that if she hesitated even for a moment, she would never be able to leave.

It wasn't until they had fled a long distance through the abyss that Skykirk finally felt relieved, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it was in her throat.

That aura is absolutely true!

The guy who almost killed Tartaglia! He's the alien that his master, the Evil Knight, was talking about!

Lu Sheng, who single-handedly killed the prophet and injured his master, the Evil Knight, and the Moon Hunter!

I never expected him to appear in Fontainebleau...

After her master, the extremely vicious rider, was seriously injured, he instructed her to find Lu Sheng's whereabouts. She searched almost all over Teyvat, but she never expected to meet him here.

It's not shameful for D'Artagnan to have been defeated by him; it's even a miracle that he survived.

With that person around, even if the Star-Devouring Whale really appeared today, it probably wouldn't cause much of a stir...

Now that things have come to this, we should hurry back and tell our master the news.

Meanwhile, an unexpected incident plunged the entire courtroom into panic.

The people of Fontainebleau turned pale, shocked by the words of the mysterious girl.

The entire population of Fontaine was submerged by the tide... What does that mean?

Could that prophecy, which people often talk about over tea, really come true?

"Don't panic! Please stay calm! Don't be swayed by unfounded rumors and cause unnecessary panic! Fontaine has always been safe, and it will always be!"

Navilette loudly reassured the crowd.

"The trial continues! Everyone, please return to your seats! I declare the plaintiff, Ms. Furina, the victor of this duel! According to the rules, the defendant, Marcellus, please now stand in the dock to accept your trial!"

Seeing that the panic had not subsided, Funina stepped forward to continue to reassure the public.

"Please do not believe such rumors! With me, the Water God, here, no one can harm the people of Fontainebleau in the slightest!"

"Please be quiet! I am about to reveal the truth behind the Carles murder case! And... the truth behind the disappearances of girls over the past twenty years!"

The water god's personal pronouncement, coupled with the allure of the truth behind the girl's disappearance, had a remarkable effect. The panicked crowd quickly quieted down and awaited the trial.

Navelette nodded to Funina with great satisfaction.

"Then, the trial will continue. Ms. Funina, as the plaintiff in this lawsuit, please speak first."

Fu Ningna switched to a serious demeanor and clearly stated the investigation results.

"After my personal investigation, the truth behind Kares's murder of his friend has come to light. In the name of the Water God, I announce the result—Kares is innocent!"

Navilette: "Please provide evidence to support your claim."

Funina showed photos of the Les factory and explained, "As everyone knows, twenty years ago, a drink called Les suddenly appeared in Fontainebleau. It is extremely addictive, and once you get into it, it is almost impossible to quit."

"At the time, Carles, who was the president of the Rose Society, discovered this drink and strongly resisted it, which aroused the hatred of the creator of Les."

"So who exactly is behind the production of this contraband? Please look at the photos. This is the factory that manufactures L'Oreal, which is still operating secretly and producing L'Oreal. And the mastermind behind this illegal factory is none other than Marcellus, who is standing in the dock!"

Fontaine Chapter: Chapter 159: The Cunning Furina

Click!

With a crisp mechanical click, the scales of the massive cardinal decree in the center of the courtroom slid down one step toward Funina.

Navelette looked at Marcellus. "Defendant, are you going to defend yourself?"

“Of course!” Marcellus exclaimed. “Lord Water God, how can you prove that this factory is mine based solely on these photos? This is no way to frame someone.”

"I have witnesses!"

"Bring your ID card up."

Soon, Melusin escorted the criminals who had been caught on the black market the night before to the courtroom.

Marcel's face darkened, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

Navelette questioned the perpetrator: "Can you prove that the factory is the property of the defendant, Mr. Marcellus?"

The perpetrator immediately shook his head, "No, I don't know anything about any factory."

"What?!" Funina was furious. "That's not what you said last night!"

The witness's sudden recantation caught Funina and Navia completely off guard.

"What? I didn't say anything last night..."

The perpetrator kept feigning ignorance, confident that Funina and her group would be powerless against him in court.

Navelette emphasized again seriously: "You need to make sure that everything you say is true. If you are found to have secretly covered it up, the sentencing standard will increase exponentially."

These words made the criminal's expression freeze for a moment, but he immediately made up his mind and gritted his teeth, refusing to admit that he had said those words.

After all, it wasn't a fair trial, there were no records, and it's impossible to verify that he actually said it.

Click!

The decree ordered the cardinal to fall toward Massel, balancing the scales.

In the first round, Funina, who was confident of victory, suffered a great loss.

Navia whispered a reminder from the side, "That person must have come into contact with something while he was locked up, forcing him to deny what he said. Lady Funina, the enemy's infiltration of Fontaine seems to be more serious than we thought..."

"Don't rush, I still have crucial evidence. Marcell can't escape. Now let's prove your father's innocence."

Funina continued, "Alright, let's put the ownership of the Les factory aside for now and get back to the Carles case."

“According to my investigation, Carres and the victim Jacques attended a banquet hosted by Marcel on the day of the incident. They went out together and the tragedy occurred shortly afterward. However, as far as I know, Carres and Jacques were very close friends, a fact that can be testified to by Jacques’ family and the elders of the Rose Society.”

"This is also the most puzzling aspect of the case. How could two close friends suddenly draw their guns on each other and even kill one another for no reason?"
