The next morning, rays of warm sunlight streamed through the window onto the dining table, brightening the room. Prince Hao, Zhongli, and Hu Tao gathered around the table, enjoying a sumptuous breakfast. As they savored the food, they chatted and laughed, creating a relaxed and joyful atmosphere.

After dinner, King Hao carefully dressed, looking remarkably refreshed. Once ready, he set off with Zhongli and Hu Tao to the Oprykle Opera House to attend the trial of the two attackers.

[Eat "Delicious Baisong Soup" to gain experience points]

[Eat Teyvat Omelette to gain 50 experience points]

[Eat "Sule... No, Fengda" to gain 200 experience points. You idiot, why did you call Fengda "Suleda"? I almost thought this wasn't Teyvat.]

King Hao was secretly delighted. Every time he ate, he could gain a certain amount of experience points, which made him feel very satisfied. These experience points could not only be exchanged for various items in the system, but also for Mora, which meant that he had a steady stream of wealth and no longer had to worry about making a living.

Walnut said excitedly: "Fontaine's Judgment Civilization is located in the continent of Teyvat. Today I finally have the opportunity to witness it with my own eyes." Her eyes were full of curiosity and anticipation.

Prince Hao prayed silently, deeply worried that Hu Tao would distribute flyers for the Hall of Rebirth in such a solemn place as the Courtroom. If that happened, it would undoubtedly cause a huge uproar, bringing enormous trouble and negative consequences. After all, the Courtroom was a solemn and dignified place. If Hu Tao really distributed flyers there, it would be a real "funny"!

[Path-type mission activated. Successfully stop Hu Tao from distributing flyers. Failure will result in the system controlling you and causing you to perform an even more insane action.]

King Hao: ...

Zhongli nodded: "After this experience, when I return to Liyue Harbor, I can share some interesting experiences with my friends." I wonder what changes have taken place in Judgment after so many years.

Inside the opera house, the staff, audience, and criminals were all in their places. Villette checked his watch, realizing it was almost time. He tapped the ground with his cane and said, "Silence!"

At this moment, a sea otter suddenly appeared in King Hao's mind, and its behavior was consistent with that of Villette.

People in the opera house were talking to each other and making a lot of noise. Despite the staff's reminders, they still found it difficult to quiet down quickly.

The guards shouted, "The Supreme Judge is about to begin the trial. Please remain quiet."

The water goddess, Fernina, slowly walked to a higher place and quietly gazed at the two criminals in the center of the stage. Her eyes revealed a kind of majesty that made people feel awe.

Narvilette turned to look at the Water God, who nodded slightly, agreeing to begin the trial. Narvilette took a deep breath and then announced loudly, "Now, the trial officially begins." His voice echoed throughout the opera house, allowing everyone to hear it clearly.

As Villette finished speaking, the opera house fell silent, and everyone turned their eyes to the two criminals in the center of the stage.

"Ah!" The criminal looked around and found that Li Jian suddenly appeared beside him. He couldn't help but tremble.

Navrette looked sternly at the two men before him and said in a cold tone, "George Miller, Richard Taylor, you are accused of illegal trading, possession of abandoned police weapons, and murder. According to Fontaine law, you have the right to rebut and apply for a defense. If you require legal assistance, you can apply to the court."

However, the two criminals remained silent, as if they hadn't heard Villette's words. Their eyes were fixed on the ghost circling around them—Li Jian. Li Jian was mumbling something as he circled around them, but it made them sweat profusely and their skin crawl.

Navrette frowned and reminded again, "If you continue to remain silent, it will be deemed that you have automatically waived your right to refute and apply for defense."

The two criminals looked at each other and nodded, indicating that they understood their rights and chose not to argue.

Navrette folded his arms across his chest, staring coldly at the two men before him. He said sternly, "According to Fontaine law, Les is classified as a prohibited substance due to its hallucinogenic and addictive properties. Are you aware of this?"

The two nodded quickly, with horror on their faces.

Navrette continued, "Knowingly breaking the law will result in severe punishment. The crime of smuggling contraband carries a 10-year prison sentence. Next, the crime of possessing abandoned security equipment. How did you obtain the security equipment?"

One of them replied tremblingly, "The boss arranged this a long time ago. We don't know anything else."

Villette frowned slightly and asked, "Oh? Then who is your boss?"

Another person hurriedly explained: "We have never met the boss in person. We have only been in contact with him through letters and have always followed his instructions."

Villette stared at them sharply and warned, "If you choose to harbor or cover up this crime, you will be punished more severely. Are you sure?"

The two looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and answered in unison: "Sure."

"Well, the charges of possessing guard weapons and harboring a criminal are punishable by 20 years in prison. Next, the charge of murder. A joint operation between the Liyue Hall of Rebirth and the Chasing Shadow Court has uncovered two bodies in your hiding place: one is a Liyue adventurer, and the other is the missing girl from Fontaine. Now, explain how you committed the crime."

George Miller: "That girl was something we... (omitted) didn't have time to deal with."

Villette's voice was cold and firm, and his eyes revealed a hint of majesty: "Then add the crime of 'harmony'."

"Host, every sea otter knows that such criminals must be severely punished. Each of these crimes represents a serious violation of social order and the safety of others, and must not be let off lightly. Therefore, you must successfully stop Walnut, or you will go to Mello Petersburg."

King Hao: What's wrong with this damn system? Is it trying to control me? Uh, sorry, Master, for my own reputation... But Hu Tao is doing fine now, and doesn't seem like she'd cause any trouble.

Finina's face was filled with disgust, as if she had seen two lumps of disgusting feces. Frowning, she looked at George Miller and his companions with disgust, her heart filled with indignation at their crimes. She was furious that these people had committed such a heinous crime. Although there had been many such cases in the past five hundred years, she simply couldn't get used to it. If there was a death penalty, she would have personally beheaded them, so that the world would fear the water god and respect justice.
