When she first appeared and gave a declaration to welcome the travelers, both the travelers and the crowd seemed somewhat indifferent, which made Funina a little anxious. Was she not performing well enough?
Later, someone in the crowd brought up the topic of "good show," which led Funina to change the welcoming ceremony into a duel invitation.
This shows that Funina's decision was, to some extent, influenced by those around her, but no one noticed this.
She had originally intended to welcome the travelers and let them make their presence known, but she was encouraged by the people around her.
But because she always appeared very confident, as if she had everything under control and that everything was within her plan, no one thought of this and assumed that she was deliberately trying to cause trouble.
The welcoming ceremony has now turned into a courtroom duel invitation, but the traveler hasn't committed any crime, so how can she be tried in court?
Although she stole, vandalized public property, attacked deities, and started a revolution, she was a good person.
What are the grounds for the trial? Funina smiled and said:
"Heh, of course there are reasons for judging you, and they're quite obvious, aren't they?"
Is it an obvious violation of the law? What is it? Could it be because the traveler overheard someone say that the Water God is a 'mascot,' which constitutes eavesdropping on Fontaine's secrets?
[Furina continued, "According to Fontaine's laws, no one is allowed to fly any objects within Fontaine's city limits for the first three days of each month. You have violated this rule."]
This bizarre law has left foreigners speechless. Who exactly is this law in Fontaineble aimed at?
For a moment, I didn't know whether to praise Furness for her excellent memory in remembering all the laws, or to criticize Fontaine's inexplicable laws.
Did Idia, the water sprite, leave Fontainebleau not because of water quality issues? Was it actually because they, as water sprites, were constantly flying and were illegally expelled?
This is where Seno's lame joke comes in: Paimon, hurry up and eat some plums.
The movie will be shown after Nasita's birthday, which is in early November, exactly the first three days of each month, so it's a 4D experience.
[Furina said, "That's right. If you two have no objections, I will issue an arrest warrant for you in the name of the Water God."]
With her hands on her hips, Funina smiled again, clearly steer the conversation into her comfort zone.
She talked about arrests, but it didn't make anyone panic about being arrested at all, because she was so cute.
The girlish charm practically overflowed the screen when she said those four words, "I'll arrest you all."
However, the traveler, who was about to be arrested, was clearly not in the mood to care about Funina's cuteness; she was already thinking about whether Yanfei could memorize the Fontaine Law before the trial.
At this moment, Linni stepped forward and said, "Excuse me, Lady Frinina, this might be a bit of a mood killer, but please allow me to interject..."
"...I don't think Paimon should be classified as a flying object, right?"
Linni took two steps forward, drawing everyone's attention, including that of Funina.
[Furina asked, "Oh? Great Magician Linni, my dear subject, I grant you permission to refute me, but how will you prove it is not a flying object?"]
Not everyone knew Linni's identity. Funina's words reminded the audience that Linni was a magician, which explained why he wore a big hat.
So here's the question: as a magician, did he have ice in his hat?
Whether there's ice or not, let's see how Linni answers Furnessa's question first.
Linni said: This is not a flying object, it is an ideal, and the travelers and I are ambitious young people who are releasing our ideals in the port of Fontainebleau!
Ahem, Linni certainly wouldn't use words like that; he'd use magic tricks.
With a snap of his fingers, Linni caused the Eye of Vulcan behind him to light up, and then fire elemental power ignited in the Traveler's hand.
The fire elemental force formed a thin line that connected to Paimon's back, like a rope.
Now Paimon isn't a flying object, but rather a traveler's dog—I mean, a balloon.
Fontaine law stipulates that "flying objects are prohibited for the first three days of each month," so Paimon being "held in the hands" by travelers does not count as being released.
This 'magic trick' was something Linni had prepared long ago; he secretly tampered with it when he shook hands with the traveler.
He had long anticipated that Paimon, the flying object, would run into trouble in Fontainebleau, so he made preparations in advance. A magician never fights a battle unprepared.
Of course, it's also possible that because he, as a magician, often releases pigeons, he was once arrested for this offense and learned his lesson.
For a moment, I didn't know whether to say he understood Fontainebleau's laws or the nature of the water god.
No one was bothered by this anymore, because the aloof girl with black stockings and cat ears spoke up.
Lynette said emotionlessly, "Ding ding—"
That loud 'thump-thump—' jolted the audience awake, even though Lynette's voice was cold and soft when she shouted it.
But the contrast between that cool voice and the cute onomatopoeia is so striking that it's breathtakingly adorable!
No wonder Linnie is a great magician. What does every great magician need most?
That would certainly make her an excellent and attention-grabbing assistant!
Chapter 862 Fengdan's Prophecy
For Fontaine audiences who are used to seeing Linnie and Linette's performances, they pay more attention to the overall effect.
This isn't magic; it's a lame joke! Can Lady Furina accept this excuse?
Yes, not only did she laugh out loud, expressing her approval of Linni's wonderful performance.
[Furina spoke up: "In that case, the trial shall end here. The God of Justice cannot wrong the innocent."]
Her forgiveness seemed somewhat casual, but it wasn't surprising once you understood the reasons behind it.
She never intended to do anything to the travelers; she was simply put on display by the onlookers for the sake of the show.
Now that Linni has offered the steps, Funina naturally lifts her little feet and follows them down.
However, this performance is somewhat awkward to those who are unaware of the truth. Their mouths open involuntarily, and they look completely bewildered. Is this the water god?
Was the performance just now...wonderful...? It felt like we were still playing house with Klee.
But thinking about it, it makes sense; the people of Fontainebleau have already designated her as a 'mascot'...
But even mascots have 'dignity,' and Funina wanted to maintain her divine authority, so she continued to boast:
"But... as long as there's a reason, I can judge not only travelers from foreign lands, but even gods from other countries, hehehe..."
"Hot!" Funina covered her mouth and frantically glanced at the gods sitting on both sides.
I never imagined the gods would hear me when I said that! Help, I'm sitting right in the middle of them right now!
How did the gods react upon hearing this?
Wendy glanced at Furnessa, then her small eyes darted around and she suddenly had an idea.
"Oh dear, I thought we were good friends. Now you want to judge me? How sad." Wendy looked dejected.
How to describe his acting skills? He acted very realistically. If you didn't know his personality, it would seem like the real person.
Funina coughed lightly and said, "Wind God, there's no need to panic. I will not fight against a god without a reason."
Furnessa was genuinely panicked; she hadn't even considered whether Wendy was acting. Now, it seemed both of them were putting on an act.
Wendy continued, "Ugh, I'm still so sad. I feel like my mood won't improve unless I drink some delicious 'Lake's Refreshment' and 'Clear Water.'"
Even if Funina had forgotten to think, she could tell there was a problem as soon as she heard those words. Wasn't this just an attempt to extort money from me for drinks?
No problem, no problem. My savings are top-notch; a bottle or two of wine is nothing to me.
Furness breathed a sigh of relief, relieved that the Wind God wasn't going to hold it against her. She immediately patted her chest and promised that she would definitely treat Wendy to drinks later.
She meant to have a little something to drink then, but she didn't realize that Wendy meant something else entirely.
As for Zhongli, he was much more composed, only finding the child quite interesting.
Zhongli shook his head inwardly at Wendy and Furness's conversation, and decided to say, "I... seem to be a little sad too."
I was just thinking of going to Fontainebleau, let's go together and have a free meal.
Shadow's thoughts were much more direct: You want to judge me? Bring it on, I couldn't be happier!
Nasita didn't have any particular thoughts; she was watching most intently but didn't care about Funina's words.
Compared to the gods' attitude, Navelette was very satisfied with Fryna's performance.
"I can even judge foreign gods," well said! I love hearing that! Say it more!
Unfortunately, no matter how much Villette loved listening to Frynn, she stopped talking. Linni had given her an opening, and she was determined to seize it.
[Furina waved her hand and said, "Alright, Mr. Linnie, Miss Linette, I'm really looking forward to your performance at the opera house. That's all for today, goodbye everyone."]
Funina jumped off the small wooden box and ran away with her personal guards, without looking back.
Unfortunately, the camera didn't show the box under Fufu's feet, so the audience didn't know if someone had carried it away.
In fact, the key point of Furnessa's words was 'the performance at the opera house,' implying that Linni had another performance to come, but the audience did not notice.
The main reason is that Funina's performance was too eye-catching. As a god, I never expected her to have this kind of personality. It's such a contrast to the gods before her.
Everyone's attention was drawn to Funina's cuteness, but she spoke as if she were playing around, causing everyone to not listen attentively.
As if knowing everyone would ignore this information, Paimon brought it up again:
"By the way, Linnie, I just found out you're a great magician, and you're even going to perform at the opera house?"
With this opera house performance mentioned repeatedly, it's hard to ignore it now.
Lin Qiu's prophecy book has one characteristic: he will not write about unimportant things, unless it is a 'red herring' that he deliberately releases.
But since this point has been mentioned repeatedly, this performance is probably not a very important piece of information. Let's write it down.
While the audience was still remembering this information, Linni had already dropped the next bombshell.
On the way to distribute the 'magic pockets', Linni explained to the travelers why he did so.
Linni said, "I don't know when it started, but a prophecy has been circulating in Fontaine ever since..."
"Every Fontaine is born with 'sin,' which cannot be erased no matter how much the righteous nation of Fontaine judges them."
The image is a simple black and white sketch depicting the water goddess Funina, seated on her throne with a single, striking tear in the corner of her eye, surrounded by the sea.
"Until one day, the sea level in Fontainebleau will begin to rise, and those burdened with sins will gradually be submerged by the sea..."
"...In the end, everyone will dissolve into the sea, leaving only the water god weeping on his throne. Only then...will the sins of the people of Fontaine be washed away."
Furina's heart raced. Yes, it was this prophecy! She was working hard to break this prophecy.
Is there a way? Funina looked at the gods around her. At this moment, she was no longer in the mood to act, and the expectation in her eyes was overflowing.
Now that this prophecy has been made public, do other gods have a solution?
Unfortunately, the other gods were also powerless to help; it was 'fate'.
Funina's enthusiasm cooled down, but she quickly masked it, regaining her composure with a faint smile on her lips.
It's okay, just keep going. Lin Qiu will find a way; he promised me.
Unlike Furina's trust in the prophecy, most Fontaines remained skeptical about it.
Even though there has been a recent phenomenon of rising sea levels, most people treat it as a normal natural phenomenon and don't take it to heart.
Maybe the water level rose because the water dragon cried too much.
Water dragon, water dragon, stop crying.
Chapter 863 On Prophecy
One reason why the people of Fontainebleau don't believe in prophecies is that there's actually not much sea around Fontainebleau.
As Lynette mentioned earlier, 'Although people always refer to the waters around Fontainebleau as the sea… they are actually just inland lakes filled with fresh water.'
How can a country surrounded by inland lakes be submerged by seawater?
If this freshwater lake were to rise, it would first flood the Sumeru Desert, which is currently experiencing a water shortage.
Besides, another reason is that even if it goes up, it can't just jump up all at once, right? By the time it slowly rises, I'll be old and dead...
Given the reasons mentioned above, it's understandable that the people of Fontainebleau don't care about this prophecy.
However, those are the thoughts of the Fontaines in this storyline; the real Fontaines would not think that way.
Because Lin Qiu had solved the serial disappearances of teenage girls, they truly knew that people could be dissolved by water, so they couldn't calm down anymore.
So why is it said that Fontainebleau people are born guilty? Even the people of Fontainebleau themselves don't understand this.
