She knew of the existence of the elixir; according to Amber's grandfather, it was a magical medicine made by the Liyue immortals from various spiritual herbs.
Mr. Xia gifted me something so precious, which shows how much he cares for me.
With such friends, what more could one ask for?
Afterwards, we all went out for breakfast together.
Rosalia and Diona parted ways with the others to train new employees at the pet tavern.
The rest of the group walked together toward the Knights of Favonius's inquisition.
Upon arriving at the courtroom, Yura went into the inner courtyard alone.
As the others were looking for seats in the outer courtyard, they heard someone shouting.
"My dearest friend, over here!"
It was Wendy and his group.
Xia Zhi walked over: "Why are you all here too?"
Wendy laughed, "Come and see what's going on?"
Xia Ci said, "Then you've arrived quite early."
The Dragon King nodded: "Come early to grab a seat. I heard the Lawrence family isn't well-liked by the Mondstadt people, and many will come to see us make a fool of ourselves today."
Wendy held out a hand to Xia Zhi: "My dear friend, the promised wine!"
Xia Zhi sighed a little and took out a bottle of wine, handing it over: "Here you go."
"Ten bottles!"
"understood."
Wendy received the wine, looking completely satisfied.
The Dragon King patted him on the shoulder: "My dearest friend..."
Wendy handed him five bottles: "Here you go."
The Dragon King looked satisfied: "That was great..."
Xia Zhi reminded him, "Don't drink here."
Wendy waved her hand: "I know, I know. If the smell of alcohol gets out, we can forget about holding this trial today."
The Dragon King looked at the stage: "Why hasn't it started yet? Hurry up..."
"Not everyone has arrived yet."
"Come on, everyone, let's play a game of Auto Chess. We're short seven players."
After a while, the courtroom became more crowded.
The time has come, and the court session begins on time.
Xia Zhi never expected that Qin would be the one presiding over this trial.
She's so busy, yet she still came all this way to do this...
It seems that my phone call to her last night really worried her about Yura, and she was so concerned that she put aside her official duties to come and personally preside over the trial.
Two Knights of Favonius brought Schubert and Sergei with them.
Qin began to recount the crimes they had committed.
Those in the courtroom were filled with righteous indignation upon hearing this.
Qin raised her head, looked at them, and said, "Do you plead guilty?"
Sergei shouted, "This is slander! I demand diplomatic immunity!"
"Rejected. The testimony is complete, and the crime is conclusive."
"This testimony was obtained under torture! This is perjury!"
"Please bring up any eyewitnesses."
Rosalia is the executioner, and her identity needs to be kept secret. She will not appear in public unless absolutely necessary.
Yura walked into the court alone and began to recount her eyewitness account without embellishment.
Almost everyone in the audience knew Yura and her kinship with Schubert, and their faces immediately lit up with expressions of amusement.
Schubert, who had been quiet, became agitated upon hearing Yura's words: "Yura! You traitorous wretch! How could the family produce such a disloyal traitor like you..."
Qin frowned and said, "Silence!"
But Schubert did not listen and continued to hurl insults at Yura.
Yura looked at him coldly and said, "Is this what Uncle calls aristocratic manners?"
Schubert was momentarily speechless.
Yura snorted and said, "I thought that as an elder of the family, you would have profound insights when you spoke in public, but I didn't expect you to utter such vulgar words."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the people in the courtroom became strange.
Especially the Dragon King and the Water-Shuttering Moon, why does this sound so much like Liyue?
Yura narrowed her eyes, recalled her lines, and said, "I have something to say, please listen carefully. The Lawrence family rose to prominence at the founding of Mondstadt, with the glory of following the Wind God in his expansion, a long and continuous history. However, there were wicked individuals in the family who attempted to seize power and rule Mondstadt, but were ultimately brought to justice. The Lawrence family declined as a result, regarded by the world as a snake in the street, avoided at all costs and hurled insults at them, causing our ancestors to lose face and our name to be disgraced. At this time of crisis for the family, Uncle, as a key member of the family, what will you do?"
"You! You!" Schubert exclaimed angrily.
"Shut up!" Yura interrupted him directly. "I know everything about my uncle's life! You were born with high hopes placed on you, but you are dissolute, immoral, and incompetent. You failed the first trial in the family trials. You should have served the family from then on, but you are lazy and only know how to take without ever working a day. You wander the streets all day, considering yourself a nobleman, and using this as an excuse to draw up city defense plans, attempting to collude with the Fools to overthrow the Knights of Favonius. With such sinister intentions, aren't you trying to plunge Mondstadt and the family into utter ruin once again?"
"you you!"
"You are forty-six years old this year, and have lived half your life in vain, achieving nothing. Even if you repent in time today and apologize here, what face will you have to face your ancestors?!"
"me!"
"A spineless dog, not daring to cower and tuck its tail between its legs, yet it insists on barking wildly. I have never seen such a shameless person!"
Schubert's face turned red, and he looked as if he was about to vomit blood.
Yura looked at him and said again, "It is lamentable that even today, my Lawrence family still has so many heartless and treacherous people. After a thousand years, they still do not know how to repent. The founding family has fallen into ruin in a single day!"
"How dare you speak of your own family like that!?"
"Ha! A family like that! I'd rather not stay here!"
"Yura! You! You'll regret this!"
Schubert was interrupted by a sudden gust of wind before he could finish speaking.
He saw a dazzling wind-elemental divine eye suddenly appear before Yura.
Yura seemed to be taken aback for a moment, then she reached out and caught the Eye of God.
A gust of wind then arose around her body.
The people in the courtroom all stood up, their expressions shocked.
Someone shouted, "This is the will of the Wind God! He has approved Miss Yura's words!"
The crowd immediately began to discuss it.
Schubert felt a sudden darkness engulf him, and finally coughed up a mouthful of blood, collapsing to the ground.

Although there were some unexpected events during the trial, the final outcome remained unchanged.
The prisoner was found guilty and taken to jail, to the cheers of the crowd watching from the courtroom.
After the court session ended, Qin glanced at the wind-type Eye of God in Yura's hand, and then at Xia Zhi and Wendy over there.
She recalled the phone call Xia Zhi had made to her the previous night.
Xia Zhi said on the phone that he knew a little bit of the inside story. Could this be what he meant?
Qin herself possesses the Eye of the Wind, so she has a very keen sense of wind elemental power.
When Yura reached out and caught the wind-elemental eye of the god that fell from the sky, the power that spread out from her body was indeed the elemental power of wind.
However, this does not necessarily mean that Yura was controlling the Eye of God.
Perhaps it was Wendy, the Anemo Archon, who stepped in to help.
After all, there has never been a true dual-wielder of the Eye of God in Teyvat from the past to the present.
Qin had some doubts, but she was too busy. It was already a bit of a splurge that she was able to squeeze in a trip this morning. Now she had to rush back to the office to continue handling official business and didn't have any extra time to ask Yura.
Even if this Eye of God might be a fake, Lord Barbatos is here, and He didn't stop Yura from obtaining the wind-type Eye of God, which means He approved of her actions. So, even if it's fake, it's still real.
After a brief greeting to everyone, Qin hurriedly left.
Among the crowd below the court were other members of the Lawrence family, who were looking at Yura with a complex mix of shock and anger.
Yura calmly met their gazes, ignoring the various stares from the surrounding crowd, and walked up to Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi said to her, "Miss Yura, you did a great job just now."
Yura stroked the Eye of God in her hand, feeling its smooth texture was strangely similar to a glass ball.
