—Later, they could even produce a reaction like, "How should I know? Don't look at me!" This is exactly what happened.
Because she really doesn't know it at all!
Although the "Cardinal of Decree and Judgment" is a creation of the water god, it has absolutely nothing to do with me, the acting water god!
For this reason, Furnessa didn't even dare to take advantage of the "Cardinal of Decree".
Because she had learned a similar lesson the hard way—if you really claim to be very knowledgeable about the "Cardinal Decree," how do you explain it to the people at the Research Institute? What if it breaks down and they ask you to fix it?
If that happens and it can't be fixed, then there's no need to even pretend; it's basically game over!
While Funina was filled with anxiety, the much-anticipated Funina remained calm, gently opening her small hands, which were partially covered by white silk gloves:
"Navilette, give me the verdict."
Navelette paused for a moment, then nodded, casually handing the judgment to Clarinde and presenting it to 'Furina'.
Just as everyone was wondering what 'she' was planning to do, Funina's eyes widened:
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Looking at 'Funina' who pulled out a pen from who-knows-where, Miss Fufu was still startled, even though she was wondering where the pen came from since she didn't have one with her. She was quite surprised to see the other woman writing and drawing on the judgment document with the pen.
That's incredibly audacious! That's a court ruling!
As a primary tool of judgment, this thing only appears in the hands of the judge and is then filed and sealed along with the case. This is the first time in five hundred years that someone has dared to scribble on it!
"All right."
After a brief exchange, 'Furina' handed the judgment to Clorind, who glanced at it, twitched her lips, and seemed somewhat puzzled, but still acted as a messenger to deliver it to Navelette.
He glanced at the contents and frowned deeply.
“Ms. Furna, the Opiclay Opera House is not a place for you to fool around.”
On the pristine judgment document, two crosses were clearly drawn over the two verdicts, making it look exceptionally absurd.
Navilette was somewhat angry—but to be honest, there didn't seem to be any law in Fontaine prohibiting painting on a judgment.
—No normal person could possibly come into contact with this thing!
Navilette was already planning to add this clause to the law after this trial concluded.
Graffiti is not allowed on the judgment—not even on the water god!
"Of course~ but the 'Cardinal Decree' is my creation—shouldn't I have the right to interpret it?"
Navelette paused for a moment, not denying it—this thing, supposedly obtaining absolutely correct results through human 'power of faith,' has actually been criticized to death long ago.
If right and wrong could be determined simply by engaging in such absurd debates and observing the tilt of the scales, then there would be no possibility of a large number of wrongful convictions in Fontainebleau.
It also won't result in a situation where the outcome is clearly one-sided but completely opposite.
The endorsement of the water god supports the "Cardinal Decree".
However, because Frynn has acted so absurdly over the past five hundred years, everyone regards her separately from the "Cardinal of Decree"—but even so, if the "Cardinal of Decree" fails to make a judgment, people will still look to Frynn, and the reason is self-evident.
"It seems you're alright. In that case—please abandon the 'Cardinal Decree' and make your own judgment, Vilette." The girl seated on the throne shrugged, speaking with remarkable composure.
"The laws of Fontaine don't cease to exist just because the 'Cardinal Decree' has been lost, don't you agree, my Supreme Judge?"
Just like the script of the white-haired guy next door facing the yellow-haired guy, Jiang Ningna, as the 'Water Goddess', looked at Navelette, the 'Supreme Judge' appointed by her.
It has to be said that such a thing is indeed extremely lethal to a simple dragon.
After a long silence, Navigette struck her cane with a crisp sound that echoed throughout the Opiclie Opera House.
"Due to the unusual circumstances surrounding the 'Cardinal Decree' and the numerous doubts surrounding this case, I, as the Supreme Judge, hereby declare that this case will be decided after a more thorough investigation and evidence gathering!"
Chapter 245 After all, I'm just an absurd water god.
"Isn't that a bit ridiculous?"
Seeing this turn of events, Fu Ningna was somewhat dumbfounded and a little annoyed. She looked at 'Jiang Ningna' sitting on the throne to the side and couldn't help but complain.
To deliberately interfere with Fontaine's trial is extremely troublesome for Fontaine, because the justice and law that Fontaine seeks are essentially 'procedural justice' and 'reasonableness within the law'.
In this process, the "Cardinal Decree" acts like a dumping ground, handling and legitimizing all the things that are difficult to explain.
As a result, this guy actually directly copied the judgment issued by the "Cardinal of Decree" and handed over the power of judgment to Navilette. Although this cannot be said to be directly handing over the legal authority of the water god to Navilette, it is reducing his own power and increasing the authority of Navilette, the supreme judge.
"Isn't it better to do it this way?"
The girl in blue and white rested her chin on her hand and asked this question. Funina hesitated, "There's nothing wrong with it, but this is just too..."
She had no objection to the transfer of the Water God's lineage. After all, during her five hundred years of rule, the main operational decisions of Fontaine were made by the Supreme Judge, Navilette, and she trusted Navilette quite a bit.
He also believed that one day in the future, if he was no longer the water god, then everything belonging to the water god would definitely have to be handed over to Navelette.
But that's the future—
Currently, Funina, who is still worried about the prophecy, cannot think that far into the future. After all, if the prophecy comes true, Fontaine will be destroyed. What would be the point of handing over the Water God's lineage to Vilet then?
"Some things should be done in advance. If you wait until the last minute to do them, it will only create more problems."
"That's true..."
Fu Ningna muttered to herself. Although she might be seen as a mascot by most people, she actually had experience in governing.
After all, she did not possess the strength to match the title of Water God. If she did not do her best to fulfill her duties as Water God, she was afraid that even she herself would not be able to forgive herself.
However, as time went by, she felt increasingly powerless and under increasing mental pressure due to the looming impending doom. It was clear that she could no longer take on any management role.
After all, being a manager is a very demanding job, and right now, she's already exhausted just playing the role of the Water Goddess in front of others. How could she possibly have the energy to do anything else?
"not to mention......"
"?"
"Just like people say, 'I' am a ridiculous water god~" The blue-and-white-haired girl chuckled, emphasizing the words "I" and "ridiculous" in her speech.
Funina was completely stunned by what she saw.
You actually managed to cover it up?!
She originally thought that 'Jiang Ningna' would be completely different from her image in people's eyes, and that the so-called 'absurdity' of the past would be a thing of the past. However, Jiang successfully maintained the persona of "Queen of all waters, all directions, all peoples and all laws" without giving up the sense of absurdity that Fu Ningna left in people's minds.
But this is completely different, okay?!
Looking at her own slender figure, Funinga felt a pang of pain.
No one knows a person better than themselves—if her absurdity was purely for theatrical purposes, to divert people's attention through drama in order to defend her title as a water goddess.
So this guy just had a 'spur-of-the-moment' idea. He found it interesting, so he incorporated it into the story in a way that felt completely natural and unremarkable, like... an absurd and inevitable outcome.
Miss Funina felt a deep sense of frustration. Why is there such a big difference between people?
"Alright, let's go and meet that lone traveler lady."
Rising gracefully, 'Funina' spoke calmly and casually.
"Seriously, are you that thirsty?"
"That's a very easy way to misunderstand. Oh dear, look, it really has been misunderstood!" 'Furina' sighed helplessly at Fairy Ellie's displeasure, and waved her hand after sensing Furina's gaze.
"Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry. Do you think I'm the type to give in to my physical instincts?"
"Besides, this is your body, you should have some confidence in your own body." There was a hint of teasing in his words—Furina rolled her eyes at his words, thinking, "It's because you're in there that I'm a little worried!"
"Seriously, what exactly do you want with that girl?"
She wasn't worried about anything; Funina's main concern was her confusion and curiosity. Although she was somewhat weak in combat, five hundred years had given her an unimaginable amount of experience and knowledge. Just like how she could tell that Old Deng was definitely not a normal human being as soon as she met him, she could also vaguely sense that there seemed to be something important in the chat group and the little she learned during conversations.
"Okay, then I'll reveal a little bit, but only a tiny bit."
"—That child is a very important asset to the future you are pursuing."
The gentle, elegant voice of a young girl, which belonged to her, rang in her ears, causing Funinna's pupils to dilate suddenly.
Of course, she also wondered if the news was accurate, but considering Jiang Qiao's familiarity with the truth, Fu Ningna subconsciously believed the former's words.
"What are you waiting for!"
Upon receiving this answer, Funina, who was concerned about Fontaine, became even more anxious than Jiang, and grabbed Funina's hand to rush backstage.
The blue-and-white girl, who was being dragged along, looked somewhat helpless.
"Honestly, wait for me!" Fairy Ellie followed behind, somewhat annoyed.
—According to Navigette's trial, Ying will next undergo an investigation by the security forces to confirm her innocence.
"Lady Funina." Melusin Tristan, who belonged to the guard unit, was somewhat surprised to see Jiang Ningna being pulled by Fuchsia, but still took the initiative to bow.
She stared at 'Fuch' with great curiosity. Although Lady Fuchina was incredibly close to humans, no matter how much she resembled a mascot, there were probably very few people in the entire Fontaine who would actually dare to hold Fuchina's hand, let alone drag her around like this.
What's wrong with humans?
“Trista, we also need to join the investigation of this case, and we also need to speak with her alone.” With a good memory, Funina was no stranger to Trista and took the initiative to say her request in a somewhat hurried manner.
The result is--
"what?"
