Original God: The Eternal Lord of Bliss

Chapter 296: The Confrontation between Egolia and Remus (3)

After ordering Fortina, Remus hurried to find Egolia.

"Egolia, explain to me, why did you appoint Futina as a fifth-level noble but not let her manage the village she was supposed to manage?"

Facing Remus' questioning, Egolia spoke slowly, "Because Futina doesn't know how to govern humans, it's that simple. Fukaros learned a lot of ways to govern humans from me, but she was unwilling to accept it, so I temporarily handed over the management of that village to another level 5 noble."

Remus frowned, "What's the matter with the annual salary? Futina didn't go to manage the territory, but you still gave it an annual salary. And the fifth-level noble who helped Futina manage it, will his annual salary be doubled?"

"Futina's annual salary is naturally that of a fifth-level noble. As for the noble who helps with management, his annual salary remains the same as before." Egolia replied.

Remus was annoyed: "Egolia, look at yourself, do you still look like the God of Fairness? You let a pure water elf with no management experience and no assessment become a nobleman to manage humans. You did not let it go to the village it should go to, but continued to let it stay in Fontaine, and even did not reduce its annual salary. You also asked other nobles to help Futina manage the village that he should not manage.

Did you know that Futina just wanted to build a 33-meter-long swimming pool balcony, occupying the sky of several households!"

"What qualifications do you have to accuse me?" Egolia stood up suddenly. "You said I don't look like the God of Fairness, then do you look like the God of Fontaine?"

She took out a pile of documents from the drawer and slapped them on Remus' face: "Look at what you did. A brothel in the sewer, you really know how to have fun. Isn't the sewer a place where people live? Not only did you allow the sewer owner to open a brothel, you also cooperated with Guili Orobas. You knew clearly that I had already ordered a ban on opening brothels!"

Remus didn't expect that Egolia would find out about this. He cursed Orobas in his heart and said, "Do you think I want to open a brothel? After you banned the opening of brothels, in just two years, the number of violent conflicts in Fontaine has increased several times compared to before. If I hadn't acquiesced to the opening of brothels, Fontaine wouldn't be so peaceful now!"

"Okay, okay, you admit it, right? I will arrest you now as the Water God and bring you to court!"

"If you want to arrest me, I will also sue you as the water god. You have completely lost your responsibilities as a god."

The two gods started a verbal battle on the high tower in the center of Fontaine, accusing each other of wrongdoings. Finally, Egolia gasped and pointed outside the door: "Get out of here, go back to your room, and wait for me to serve you an indictment!"

"That's the only thing you're fair about." Remus sneered and turned away.

Outside the door he ran into the pure water elf, Fucaros.

He was just going to leave after just a quick glance, but unexpectedly, Fucaros called Remus: "Master Remus, I have something to say to you."

"Okay, come with me." Remus thought about it and nodded in agreement.

After returning to his residence, Fucaros spoke first: "Lord Remus, I know it's a bit impolite for me to say this, but I still want to ask, do you think that Lord Water God has begun to disobey the laws He has set?"

"You just discovered it now." Remus smiled contemptuously.

"Well, I thought Lord Water God was worried that we wouldn't be able to integrate into human society, so he did this, but now it seems that Lord Water God has gone too far." Fucaros said worriedly, "And Lord Remus, you have also violated the laws of Fontaine many times in order to fight against Lord Water God. Gui Li once said well, if the superiors do what the superiors do, the inferiors will do what the superiors do. As gods and demons, you have trampled on the laws of Fontaine so much, so how will the nobles below view it?"

Fucaros' words were like a heavy hammer that woke Remus up suddenly. Yes, in the past ten years, in order to oppose Eugolia's decision, he had done many things that violated Fontaine's laws. Many of these crimes could be directly and unconditionally convicted by the cardinal. Including just now, he and Eugolia quarreled and said they would send each other to court, but the result was nothing.

"Fontaine is a country of justice. Even gods can judge before the Cardinal of the Oracle."

When the Cardinal of the Oracle was created, Egolia once said this to Remus, and Remus firmly believed it at that time. However, after the pure water elf turned into a human, he and Egolia no longer took the law seriously and began to trample on it wantonly. What was going on?

Remus looked down at his hands, thinking back to what he had done in the past ten years, and held his head in his hands with some regret: "Me, what's wrong with me?"

Fucaros looked at Remus's actions and hurried forward: "Lord Remus, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I just feel weird." Remus took a deep breath, "The transformation of Egolia and I was too fast and too weird, as if we were bewildered by something in the past ten years."

Ten years may be a long time for humans, but for long-lived species like the Demon God, it is not worth mentioning at all. Remus and Egolia have changed a lot in ten years.

"Fate?" Remus forced himself to calm down, but there seemed to be another voice in his mind speaking: You did the right thing, only in this way can Egolia change her approach to the pure water elves.

"No, that's not right!" Remus gasped and stood up quickly. "Thank you, Fukaros. If you hadn't said that, I wouldn't have realized this. I'm going to find Egolia now and explain the situation to her."

Having said that, Remus went straight to Egolia's residence, and without waiting for Egolia to speak, Remus explained the situation to her.

Eugolia listened to Remus' words, was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "Remus, you are right. In the past ten years, my personality has indeed changed a lot. I have become contemptuous of the law."

Remus breathed a sigh of relief: "The root of all this is not you or me, nor the pure water spirit. I strongly suspect it is the prophecy from that year."

"The root of the problem lies with Guili's Yongle!" Suddenly, Egolia's words made Remus freeze in his tracks. "If he hadn't obstructed my actions in every possible way, you and I wouldn't have ended up like this. So, Remus, I've decided to sever ties with Guili. From now on, our Fontaine is no longer a vassal state of Guili, and we won't let Guili people set foot in our Fontaine again!"
