After the trial of the water god, Navillatte was able to see the real Fukaros at last, and thus learned her true plan.

When the power accumulated by the Cardinal of the Oracle was about to be released, a girl named Nangong Ya broke in.

That Villette did not hide Nangong Ya's power, nor did he hide the existence of the Seven Dragon Kings, because when fighting against the invasion of the abyss before, people from all countries had more or less witnessed the existence of the seven elemental dragons, headed by Xumi, who was protected by the Grass Dragon.

That Villette can regain the power of the complete Seven Dragon Kings after being touched by Nangong Ya. The disadvantage is that he will temporarily turn into a child.

Once he turns into a toddler, he will have no power and you will have to either wait a month or two for him to recover on his own, or kill him and make him recover immediately.

But the crisis of the dissolution of the Fontaine people is imminent, and Villette can't wait...

In the end, Navillet chose to kill his infant self with his own hands, thereby gaining the power of the complete Water Dragon King, thereby forgiving the original sin of all the Fontaine people, turning them from pure water elves into real humans, and saving them from the fate of being dissolved by the original fetal sea water.

"I see. It's the kind of plot where if we sacrifice one person, we can save the world!"

"Well, although the person who sacrificed himself was Lord Villette himself..."

The people of Fontaine loved drama, and soon someone saw the highlight of this case.

"Well, before the trial begins, Villette, you have one chance to defend your honor by duel."

At this moment, Funina in the VIP seat suddenly stood up and pointed at Clorinde at the edge of the stage.

Clorinde: "..."

"No need, thank you Ms. Funina, the trial will officially begin."

That Villette shook his head. He just wanted to give his younger self justice through the trial.

At the accused seat, Ying touched his chin and thought, then gestured to Paimon beside him to speak on his behalf.

"Hehe, now it's Detective Paimon's turn to speak. May I ask this Supreme Judge, if one kills oneself, is it considered murder?"

Paimon pushed his glasses on his nose and asked Navelette.

"Well... Fontaine's laws do not forbid suicide. Of course, it is an irrational act and I highly recommend it. If there is any injustice, we will help you find it out."

That Villette shook his head in response to Paimon's question.

"Hehe, please wait a moment, then Lord Villette and Lord Paimon."

At this moment, the criminal at the prosecution table suddenly pushed up his glasses and spoke with a smile.

This criminal, who had just been convicted of killing a colleague over a conflict, was exiled to Melotti-Petersburg for ten years.

"Before you ask the question just now, I need to ask you a question."

"If your enemy is transformed into a child in front of you by the same ability, would you choose to brutally kill the child directly, or wait until he turns back to normal before killing him?"

Then the criminal pointed at Ying and Paimon and asked.

"Ah, traveler..."

Paimon shrank his neck and looked back at Ying.

Ying was silent for a moment, recalling the powerful enemies he encountered along the way.

Tevarin, Rosaline, Tartaglia, Osel, King Rodra, General Thunder, Skirmishers...

Although some of them had not been transformed into infants, she was unable to attack the infants Tevarin and Rosalin at that time, even if she did not intend to kill them.

"I can't do that to a toddler."

Ying shook her head and admitted it.

"Very good, you are full of the radiance of humanity."

The criminal clapped his hands.

"Since you think so, can you prove one thing? Do you think that when a person loses all his memories, he is no longer the same person?"

"At least that's what I think. The existence of memory determines what kind of person a person is. When young Lord Navelette lost his memory, he had a new personality, a new child, and was destined to face death at birth. He had no choice."

The criminal expressed his opinion to refute Paimon's claim of "suicide".

"Wow, this person... doesn't feel right!"

Paimon was unable to refute for a moment, so he had to look at Ying and let her do it.

Ying stroked his chin in thought.

Although I didn't watch the last trial, it's obvious that the criminal is an intellectual, and it's really troublesome to argue with such a person.

"How do you prove that memory determines what kind of person a person is?"

After thinking for a while, Ying looked up and asked the criminal.

“Haha, that’s not difficult.”

"Xumi once had an inhumane experiment. A crazy scholar extracted all the memories of his deceased wife from her brain and injected them into the brain of a young girl who had accidentally lost her memory in the form of canned knowledge. This way, the girl was influenced by the memories and thought that she was his wife."

"And the girl knew nothing about this, and lived as a wife for more than ten years. She only discovered the experiment after she accidentally hit her head and recovered her original memory."

"The existence of memory constitutes a person's personality. After the child possessed the memory of Master Navrette, he became Master Navrette."

"But if I inject my memories into him, he can also be me. If I inject your memories into him, he can also become you."

"But before he lost those memories, he was an independent personality, just himself."

The criminal cited the example of Xumi and spoke with great confidence.

Ying opened her mouth. How could she know anything about memory?

"But it is Villette's body after all."

Paimon said weakly.

"Really? Then let's ask that Lord Villette, do you think killing this child is suicide?"

The criminal looked at Villette and asked.

"…It wasn't suicide, so there's this trial."

Navelette nodded.

His words also made Ying and the others realize that they were looking in the wrong direction. There was no point in proving that the young Villette was himself, otherwise there would be no trial.

If the cardinal decree was still functioning normally, the scales would have tipped towards the guilty side by now.

Even if the boy's life was short, he should have been able to enjoy a month or two without worries, although it was brief, but he would not be killed.

That Villette has the memories of her childhood, so she naturally remembers "herself" at that time. Her only reaction to death is fear.

After a while of arguing, Ying was finally speechless and could not say any more words to exonerate herself.

Sacrifice one person to save all of Fontaine. As one of the people of Fontaine who were saved, the people also support innocence. However, the people's opinions cannot directly affect the fairness of the verdict. Everything depends on the testimony of both parties.

"Since the defense has no more testimony, I hereby declare Villette guilty."

Navrette announced after banging the gavel.

"Then, the Water God will make the final judgment."

Then, Navilet looked at Funina who was sitting in the VIP seat.

Since the Cardinal's Decree was suspended, the procedure for the Cardinal's Decree was changed to being decided by Fukalos himself.

"Don't ask me. I have used the last bit of energy left in the Oracle. It should be able to run for one last time. Let it make the judgment."

Finina, or rather Fukalos, shook her head and pointed at the Cardinal of Decree and Ruling, which had been shut down but not dismantled.

"it is good."

Navelette nodded and then referred the case to the cardinal for judgment as usual.

"According to the decree, the outcome of the cardinal's judgment shall be determined."

"That Villette, guilty."

"..."

Navilette read out the contents of the verdict, but paused with a frown when he read the verdict.

"Sentenced to prohibit you from communicating with any Melusin for six months."

Then Navilette read out the verdict.

"...???"

"Wait, wait! Isn't this too much of a joke?!"

The criminal at the prosecution table, who had already declared victory, became a little restless.

"I also committed murder, and he also committed murder! Why is the sentence so light?"

The criminal looked angrily at Funina who was sitting in the VIP seat.

"According to the logic of the Cardinal decree, Villette murdered the second personality that had arisen in his body, not an independent child."

"So guilty, but only a little."
