“...Take it seriously. Tell Navelette that it was me who said it.”
“Let’s use this person as a model to set an example. I won’t get involved in this matter myself. Let’s leave it to our Supreme Judge.”
The biggest problem in Fontainebleau is that it is somewhat conservative in its sentencing decisions.
Although Jiang Qiao didn't like resorting to physical extermination at the drop of a hat, the purpose of a prison—this facility—was for labor reform and ideological reform.
There's no need to waste money on stubborn people like Duguirre who are heinous and have virtually no chance of reform—keeping such people around will only drive up rice prices!
Listening to Jiang Ningna's energetic arrangements, Leosley couldn't help but marvel. As the prison's administrator—who was originally just a prisoner himself—it was this god who personally observed his trial.
At that time, our deity was quite 'unproductive' and 'happy'.
But looking at it today, it seems like he's still quite capable.
Leosley had absolutely no objection to the arrangement of 'Furina'.
Because of prison regulations, he, who was very law-abiding, couldn't kill that old Deng, so he could only do something illegal—torture him in the same way Duguirre tortured people, and carry out vigilante justice. But now things are a little different.
"Could we postpone it for a while? I want him to suffer a bit."
"I don't recommend that you break the law; such a person isn't worth it."
“...Never mind, here you go.” The blue-and-white-haired girl frowned and thought for a moment before handing over a one-handed sword engraved with irises to Leosley.
“I have left the power of justice in this. If you think it is necessary to hold criminals accountable for their crimes, use this. It will punish the sinners in the most just way.”
Well, this doesn't count as vigilante justice.
It's all about justice!
A moment later, Jiang Qiao saw 'Fu Qiao'—Miss Fu Ningna was diligently tightening screws.
Miss Fufu was stunned the moment she saw him.
next moment--
She suddenly grabbed the fairy Ellie and forcefully pulled at the latter's face:
"You deserter!"
"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Being so rough with a cute fairy will get you punished!"
"Retribution? I think you are my retribution!"
"And you-"
After venting her anger at the fairy Ellie, Funina glared at 'Funina'—Jiang Qiao—and accused her with a wronged expression: "You bad guy!!!"
She originally wanted to complain about Jiang making her take the blame while he went out to have fun, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized that she had forgotten to remind him about Fairy Airi, and she had also forgotten about the situation when the scallop incident happened... In short, it must be this guy's fault!
Like a pufferfish, Fulina inexplicably discovered that the biggest problems seemed to lie with her. However, the thought that she could only sullenly work as a screw-driver in Mero Petersburg, while that wicked Jiang Qiao could run off to the beautiful Sumeru, made her feel unbalanced and furious.
So—he continued to pull at the fairy Ellie's face, and then glared at her!
It's impossible for Furina to tear off her own face; she's not stupid—that's my face, Furina's!
But the fairy Ellie is different. This little ungrateful girl is not only disloyal but also a rival. The angry Miss Funina can't be polite to her at all!
Miss Fukaros, who was inside 'Fninna', was quite enjoying herself while sucking on it.
That's right! Tear this little bitch apart!
Chapter 283 Could he really be Fucarus?
Despite her resentment, Funina didn't pursue the matter too much, since Jiang Qiao quickly came to her rescue—the magnanimous Lady Funina should reluctantly forgive her!
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the experience in Melo Petersburg was quite novel.
Previously, as the Water Goddess, she lived a life of luxury, spending her time speaking, conversing, and observing, except for occasionally handling some documents that she had to organize herself.
While screwing in screws in Mello Petersburg was a bit tedious, Funina found the feeling of enjoying the fruits of her labor after all the hard work quite enjoyable.
"Aside from the occasional scoundrel who is unbearable, this place is pretty good."
"This is a prison after all, but to receive such a rating means that the reform of prisoners at Melo Petersburg has been relatively successful."
"Leosley did a really good job... Seriously, stop talking about work! Can't you just let me relax for a bit?" Funina, who was chatting with Jiang Qiao, realized what was happening and was quite dissatisfied—she was actually enjoying this time when she didn't have to carry any burdens and could be herself again.
"Hey, that little guy over there is called Paimon."
“She’s quite like you, hmm, just as noisy.” Fou scolded the fairy Ellie, who puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction: “Noisy? That’s just the liveliness of a fairy, but…”
"What an adorable little guy..."
Ellie, the fairy holding a magic wand, flew to Paimon's side, looked him up and down, and nodded in satisfaction: "But he's still not as cute as me."
"Hey...you're so vain..."
"Ying, who do you think is cuter?"
Paimon was very dissatisfied, and then looked directly at Ying, who was present. Ying was silent for a moment, her gaze shifting, but it was faintly fixed on the fairy Ellie.
"Hmph, you have good taste~ I'll give you a compliment."
"Ying...! Humph, I'm angry."
"And you, why are you staring at me like that? Is there something on my face...? That's so rude!" Paimon, hands on her hips, noticed the gaze and looked at the blue-and-white-haired girl who had been staring at her, complaining in a soft voice.
But the latter said nothing, only calmly gazing at the latter—
"This little guy..."
Both Fukalos and the Tree King, sharing each other's gaze, stared intently at Paimon.
Just as Paimon appears as a balloon connected to Sky Island by a thread in Melusin's unique perspective, the same thing can be seen by this [Frinna].
Furthermore, because the Tree King is the essence of the World Tree, and Ergolia is the heart of the Fetal Sea—as the original administrator assisting the laws of nature—they have both discovered, to varying degrees, the inner workings of the creature called Paimon.
“Fatuna’s projection…?! Is it to guide this descendant called Luminous?” Agoria murmured.
The original Phanes was a very xenophobic person. After all, the order of heaven that he brought was a constant order that was very afraid of being disturbed, and external factors could easily cause this 'system' to go in an unknowable direction.
Therefore, He stripped the seven dragon kings of their titles and created Egolia to replace the water dragon king in suppressing the womb, preventing it from giving birth to new life.
But they all knew that after that great war, the Heavenly Principles had been severely damaged and were unable to maintain the Heavenly Order. They could only scatter the fragments of Fanes to create demons and use the remains of the Third Descendant to create the 'Heart of God' to promote the order of the seven gods represented by the 'Seven Rulers'.
Sky Island has been asleep for over five hundred years. If another descendant were to appear, in order to prevent him from leading the fate in an uncontrollable direction, we would have to use some 'guiding' methods to ensure that the fate is steered in the direction we desire.
In fact, the seven gods probably all had some idea about it to some extent.
However, the three gods, who are currently inside [Funinna] and supported by Jiang Qiao's 'data', will be more perceptive and clearer.
"...I really can't stay idle."
The blue-and-white-haired girl sighed, and then—a dazzling one-handed sword appeared in her hand.
"Hey...you, you, what are you doing?!"
Seeing 'Furina' walking towards him with her sword drawn, Paimon panicked and was frightened, so he hid behind Luminous.
Although Funina and the fairy Ellie found it a bit strange, they didn't say anything—at least they believed that Jiang Qiao would never draw her sword without a reason.
If he did that, then there must have been a reason.
As for Ying, she was somewhat wary, but she did not draw her sword.
"Don't move."
Following those chilling words, a flash of sword light streaked across the sky—
'Swish'
Snap! At that moment, it seemed as if something broke.
Paimon also plummeted instantly, but was caught by 'Frinna'.
Looking at Paimon, who was like a puppet without a power source, he curled his lip—the ball of light in his hand disappeared into it.
"what have you done?"
Ying, regaining her senses, was very puzzled.
"It's nothing, we just gave her back her 'freedom'."
Jiang Qiao calmly described 'Funinna' as she casually disassembled the holy sword she had conjured.
A person's character determines their destiny.
Heaven uses this method to plan the fate of humankind, ensuring it operates according to a predetermined path.
Paimon, which is connected to Fatuna, is undoubtedly the same kind of entity.
Paimon, who had taken flight again, shook his head, then glared at Jiang Qiao with some annoyance: "Don't scare me like that!"
"how do you feel?"
"Ah... How does it feel?... Oh, I suddenly feel much more relaxed than before."
"That's good."
He certainly didn't know what Tianli expected of Paimon, but Jiang Qiao wouldn't hesitate for a moment when it came to what she was going to do.
Regardless of whether Skye Island is good or evil, as long as it is clear that the future of this land will ultimately be in the hands of its people and they can choose for themselves, that is enough to take action.
