Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

Chapter 567: You don’t trust Villette so much?

"Five hundred years ago, I invited Navillatte to serve as the Supreme Judge so that he could witness mankind's eternal pursuit of justice. This was the path I chose for him, the Water Dragon King, to understand the essence of life."

The suspended water droplets reflected the scene inside the Cardinal's Chamber of Oracle and Judgment, and countless golden threads were transforming the emotions of the people of Fontaine into mixed energy of compensation.

Fucaros touched the mirror lightly with his palm, and the memories of the past five hundred years slowly unfolded before the three people's eyes, like a painting covered in dust by time.

Five hundred years ago, the embers of war in Kanreya had not yet been completely extinguished, and the entire continent of Teyvat was still shrouded in chaos and unrest.

At that time in Fontaine, the death of the first water goddess Egolia was like the disappearance of a superstar, causing this land to fall into a brief but deep confusion.

Amid the anxious gaze of the people, Fucaros took over the authority of the God of Water. It was an honor, but also a heavy responsibility.

And Villette, the newly born Water Dragon King whose power is still immature, with his ignorance and curiosity about the world, was sincerely invited by Fucaros to step into the legendary land of Fontaine.

He had a natural desire to explore the operating rules of all things in the world, and he also held a unique insight into justice, so he readily agreed to serve as the highest judge of Fontaine.

At that time, he was like a bystander outside the grand chess game, and had no idea that he was about to be involved in a shocking plan that concerned the life and death of Fontaine.

When she first arrived at Fontainebleau, Villette was attracted by its unique temperament.

In the streets and alleys, the concepts of law and justice are like invisible monuments, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Their persistent pursuit of fairness is passionate and pure.

Villette sat at the bench, day after day, facing complex cases that were the result of the interweaving of all kinds of situations in the world.

At first, human behaviors driven by desires, emotions and interests were like a fog that confused him.

He was used to analyzing everything in the world with absolutely rational thinking, but the logic of human behavior often deviated from his cognitive track, which made him fall into contemplation countless times.

In a seemingly ordinary business dispute, the plaintiff and the defendant each held a different view, and the evidence presented by both parties was difficult to discern and intertwined with each other like a tangled web.

During the trial, Villette deeply realized for the first time how cunning and persistent human beings can be for the sake of profit.

But at the same time, he also saw that even in this quagmire full of disputes, there were still some people who adhered to their inner justice, like stars shining in the darkness, trying to dispel the fog and pursue the truth.

At that moment, he gained a new understanding of humanity's relentless pursuit of justice.

And the time spent with Funina made Villette even more confused.

In his eyes, although Furninna was the goddess of water, her behavior was too lively and playful, even exaggerated to the point of being absurd.

Her every move and every word was in stark contrast to the solemnity and majesty that Villette had in mind for a god.

At a grand public celebration, in order to liven up the atmosphere, Funina performed a series of hilarious actions that made people laugh, but made Villette frown slightly.

In his understanding, gods should be otherworldly and detached from the mundane world, but Funina is like a girl who always retains her childlike innocence and freely expresses her joy, anger, sorrow and happiness.

"The behavior of the water god is really puzzling." Villette thought to himself, but he did not delve into it too much. After all, the trial work occupied most of his energy.

He immersed himself in the world of law, trying to use rational rules to sort out the complex context of human society.

As time passed, Villette's position in Fontaine became more and more solid. Each of his trials was like the bell of justice, echoing in this land and winning the people's sincere respect and trust.

But he also gradually discovered that behind this prosperous country, there were many unknown secrets.

Driven by interests, some forces secretly collude in an attempt to manipulate the scales of law and play with justice.

And he, as the supreme judge, is like a lonely guardian, trying his best to maintain the dignity of the law and the balance of justice in this intricate entanglement of interests.

While investigating a major corruption case, Navilette encountered unprecedented resistance.

Forces from all sides intervened, either by intimidation or bribery, trying to stop him from digging deeper into the truth.

But he stood firm like a towering mountain. Relying on his strong strength and rock-solid belief, he gradually uncovered the dark secrets behind the case.

When he finally brought the corrupt officials to justice, the whole of Fontaine was shocked.

The cheers and admiration of the people surged like a tide, and in this thrilling contest, he also realized more deeply the heavy responsibility he shouldered.

"In the past five hundred years, Villette has witnessed all the joys and sorrows of mankind, and has also understood the true meaning of justice. His strength and faith have continued to grow over the years." Fucaros' voice echoed in the room, like an ancient bell, carrying the weight of time. "And now, he has become an indispensable and key part of our plan."

"But he still knows nothing about our plan. How can we get him to cooperate?" Funina asked softly, eyes full of worry.

Fukaros raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile: "When the time comes, he will know everything. I firmly believe that when he knows the truth, he will stand on our side."

Su Xun nodded slightly, "I also think that with Villette's character and his persistence in justice, he will definitely not sit idly by and watch the crisis in Fontaine."

Funina was still worried: "But what if he can't accept the fact that we have been hiding it from him?"

Fukaros showed a strange look: "No way, Fu Nina, after knowing each other for so many years, you don't trust Villette so much?"

"Uh..." Furninna was speechless for a moment. She pursed her lips and said with some entanglement, "It's not that I don't trust him, but this matter is too serious after all. If he thinks that we have been using him and creates a rift, then wouldn't it be even more difficult to implement our plan? Moreover, if he resents us because of this and is no longer willing to work for Fontaine, what should we do?"

After all, it was the loneliness and disguise of the past five hundred years that made Funina too cautious about the important matter of Fontaine's survival.

She knew very well that this plan could not afford to fail, and any slight mistake could lead to Fontaine's doom.
