Chapter 296 Doesn’t it hurt when you walk?
As soon as you step into the territory of Fontainebleau, you will be greeted by the scent of water. The cool breeze blows away the heat from the desert, making you feel relaxed and happy.
Jiang Xun, like a traveler, sat on the boat slowly sailing towards the port of Fontaine. He was a little anxious the last time he came, and he had not yet had a complete experience, so this was a good opportunity to make up for it.
Although the boat ride takes some time, I believe Fucaros won't mind.
Jiang Xun got off the boat. There was a lot of boat traffic in Fontainebleau, and people from many countries could be seen coming and going. However, one could tell exactly what they were doing from the clothes they were wearing.
Of course, if you say that you can’t tell just by looking at the clothes, then Jiang Xun can only say that it depends on the person.
For example, the group of people in front of him are obviously Inazuma people. It’s not because he has broad knowledge, but because he happens to know some of them.
"Wow, is this Fontaine? It's so beautiful!"
The girl with golden hair looked around, very curious about everything around her. She seldom traveled far, and the last time she went on a trip was to Xumi.
"Yeah, I think so too. Just being here is refreshing."
Kamisato Ayaka also nodded in agreement. This time they came here on behalf of Inazuma to exchange ideas. Although they were here to exchange ideas on the surface, there was also a tourism element to it. It was okay to relax a little, as long as they didn't forget their business.
Jiang Xun knew the two girls, but he was not familiar with the handsome man behind him. However, since there were guards around them, he temporarily gave up the idea of saying hello. What's more, since the other party came all the way from Inazuma to Fontaine, it was impossible for him to leave after only staying for a day or two.
It's no bad time to reminisce about the past.
After standing there for a few seconds, Jiang Xun turned around, got on the elevator and returned to the city.
As the elevator door opened, another woman with obvious Inazuma features walked out of the elevator. She was very beautiful, with red pupils and legs wrapped in black stockings, all of which showed her charm as a woman.
But the shoes on his feet attract more attention than the person himself.
"Doesn't it hurt to walk in these shoes?"
Out of curiosity, Jiang Xun still asked a question. Qian Zhi glanced at him indifferently, then said two words "It doesn't hurt" and turned away. It seemed that the other party lacked interest in chatting.
Jiang Xun didn't care much about it. He got in the elevator and left.
"Ms. Qianzhi, thank you for coming to pick us up in person."
"You're welcome, Miss Kamisato."
"By the way, Ms. Chiori, is the person who just spoke to you your friend?"
Xiao Gong suddenly interrupted their conversation. She just inadvertently saw Jiang Xun's back and felt that she had seen him somewhere but couldn't remember where for a moment.
"We're not friends, he just asked me a question and I answered it."
Chihiro crossed her arms over her chest and raised one hand as she explained calmly.
"What's wrong, Xiao Gong?"
"Nothing, I must have seen it wrong."
Xiao Gong shook her head and didn't dwell on this topic any more. Suddenly, she noticed Qian Zhi's shoes and asked subconsciously, "Miss Qian Zhi, doesn't it hurt when you walk in these shoes?"
Chiori: ...
After returning to Fontaine, Jiang Xun first went to Momang Palace. He wanted to find Villette to ask about Fucarlos's location, but he didn't expect that Villette was not in the office. Instead, the real owner was sitting in the other's chair, flipping through the files in a serious manner.
"I haven't seen you for a few days. Has the Supreme Judge of Fontaine been replaced?"
Upon hearing this, Fucaros put down the file and then lay down on the table, looking as if he had lost all hope in life.
"Then how does Villette manage to look at these things every day without getting bored?"
Fukalos complained like a little girl, and then she explained why she was sitting there.
It turned out that Fucaros was bored and came to the Momang Palace to wander around, but because Villette had to work, she was asked not to make any noise. Unconvinced, she immediately made a bet with the other party, wanting to prove that it was easy to deal with these things and there was no difficulty at all.
As a result, she replaced Navilette as the chief judge for half a month, handling some previous cases, while the other party took a long vacation after a long absence.
Originally, Fucaros was also a god, so if it were just some small cases, it would not be difficult for her. However, the causes of some of these cases could be traced back to more than ten years or even dozens of years ago, which meant that she needed to look at all these cases again.
This wave is really shooting itself in the foot.
"How long do you have left in your bet with him?"
"Just five days later."
Jiang Xun nodded seriously, and a glimmer of hope appeared on Fucaros' face. He hoped that Jiang Xun could stay and help her so that he would not feel so uncomfortable.
"Then I'll come back to see you in ten days."
However, the other party turned around and left without any intention of helping.
"Hey, wait, wait, aren't you going to stay and help me?"
"Although I want to, I can't. After all, I am not from the Fontaine Judiciary and have no right to view these cases."
Now you know how to obey the law? Then what was the point of making a scene in the court before? !
"Please, please, this is too much. I can't handle it."
Although he was complaining in his heart, he was still polite.
Seeing the other party's pleading, Jiang Xun chose to help him share the pressure. Then, under Fucaros's happy gaze, he picked up a roll of toilet paper, sat down aside, picked up the black tea and pastries on the table and began to pretend to look at them.
"you....."
Seeing that Fukaros wanted to say something, Jiang Xun interrupted and said, "Don't you want my help? Then I'm leaving."
Jiang Xun put down the toilet paper, stood up and pretended to leave, and this action made Fucaros lose his confidence instantly.
"Thank you, Master Jiang Xun."
With a bitter face, he kept the other person and returned to his work, comforting himself that the current situation was better than before, at least there was someone by his side.
Although... this person might just be here to eat and drink for free.
"By the way, is there any festival in Fontaine recently?"
After finishing the snacks, Jiang Xun asked Fu Carlos.
I felt something was not normal when I saw Kamisato Ayaka and the others just now. When I just arrived, I saw a lot more equipment on the street. I think there is a festival to be held soon.
"You are talking about the Shadow Festival, right? But I don't know the details. As you know, I have been in the Oracle for five hundred years, and I know most of what is happening outside through the trials of the Inquisition."
