Genshin Impact Simulation: Starting with Melsin's Friend
Chapter 33 Is this your justice? Nawilette! (Part 1)
"The case concerning the murder of a nobleman at the Grand Hotel de Bois is now in the trial stage."
Fontaine, Opicclay Opera House.
The Opicley Opera House was packed to capacity, with countless residents spontaneously flocking to the opera house, eagerly awaiting the trial of this landmark case.
On the high platform, after the Supreme Judge Navelette and the woman beside him, Funina nodded to each other, Navelette slightly adjusted her clothes and then solemnly announced the opening of the court.
With the crisp sound of gears turning, the judgment machine on the high platform shone with the blue light of scales, announcing the start of the trial with the symbol of balance.
"Court is in session."
Navigette tapped her scepter, and the whispers in the Opiclie Opera gradually subsided.
"Now, we invite the plaintiff to make their statement."
Several minor nobles then appeared in the plaintiff's seat, tearfully accusing the murderer of killing their beloved relatives and siblings in an extremely cruel manner.
Navilette, standing on the platform, remained noncommittal, glanced at the seemingly absent-minded Furness, and then calmly announced the appearance of the defendant.
Mu Feng sat high in the dock, looking down contemptuously at the pretentious nobles, as if mocking the overestimation of these clowns.
Mu Feng's contemptuous attitude clearly angered the group of minor nobles, and several of them immediately began clamoring for severe punishment of the perpetrator.
"quiet."
Navilette tapped her scepter forcefully, then asked expressionlessly:
"Defendant, do you admit to the crimes alleged by the plaintiff?"
"Of course, it was me."
Mu Feng easily took all the blame, causing the scales of the judgment machine to tip slightly, which immediately aroused gasps in the opera house.
"quiet!"
Navigette once again maintained the solemn atmosphere of the opera house and then proceeded with the questioning methodically:
"Then, please state your motive for committing the crime."
Mu Feng, sitting in the dock, suddenly burst into laughter, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
"Hahahaha... Vilette... you're so funny... hahaha, you actually asked me about my motive... hahahaha..."
"Defendant, please remain serious and state your motive for the crime."
Navelette on the platform remained expressionless, unaffected by Mu Feng's exaggerated performance, and then solemnly reiterated the question.
"it is good!"
Mu Feng suddenly stopped smiling exaggeratedly, and a sharp, cold light shot out from his eyes as he coldly scanned all the audience members in the opera house.
"That's my motivation."
Immediately, Mu Feng swiftly took out a small recording device from his clothes and turned it on before the law enforcement officers could react.
The next second, a nobleman's slightly trembling voice rang out throughout the Opiclay Opera House, recounting their attempt to frame Caroline, the captain of the Shadow Court.
The recording immediately caused a huge uproar in the opera house, with whispers rising and falling, almost drowning out the sound of the recording itself.
As the recording was released, the scales of the adjudicating machine slowly tipped upward, restoring a delicate balance.
"This is slander!"
Seeing the situation was turning sour, the minor nobleman in the plaintiff's seat blushed and roared:
"This must have been recorded under duress by the murderer!"
The clamor in the opera house grew even stronger with this rebuttal, with both sides sticking to their own arguments and arguing endlessly for a time.
"quiet!"
Navelette had to step in once again to maintain order, and then calmly pronounced her verdict:
“Under the laws of Fontainebleau, documents that may have been enacted under duress cannot be presented as evidence in court.”
The nobleman on the side secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then adopted a smug posture and pressed his advantage, attempting to pinpoint Mu Feng's crimes:
"The so-called framing is utter nonsense,"
"I'm sure you're all familiar with the basic facts of the case,"
"Then I'd like to ask, how did we manage to make the man in black that the Shadow Chasing Court captain mentioned disappear?"
The commotion in the opera house gradually subsided, and it seemed that many people were beginning to believe the nobleman's seemingly flawless explanation.
After all, how can a person just disappear into thin air?
The scales tipped again, and seeing the situation gradually turning unfavorable, Mu Feng remained calm. Instead, he sneered and spoke with composure:
"I wonder what everyone here is like,"
Have you ever heard of the 'prophecy of the sinking'?
Upon hearing this, Navelette and Funina on the high platform immediately showed expressions of slight shock.
Especially Funina, who had seemed listless just moments before, was now staring intently in Mu Feng's direction in disbelief, her body seemingly trembling slightly.
However, the audience in the opera house did not notice the Water God's unusual behavior at all, and they all showed slightly confused and puzzled expressions.
Yes, every indigenous person in Fontainebleau has heard this prophecy to some extent when they were a child.
It declared that everyone in Fontaine would eventually dissolve in the water, leaving only the water god weeping alone on his throne.
But aren't those just legends that adults use to scare children?
However, the nobleman, who thought he had the victory in the bag, couldn't help but show a panicked expression when he heard Mu Feng's words, but he quickly hid it.
Damn it, how did he know that?
"Lady Navelette, I protest!"
"This has absolutely nothing to do with this case!"
Navelette on the high platform was about to speak when she was interrupted by Funina beside her.
"Let him continue."
"This is related to the defendant's motive and is not related to the case."
For the first time, the usually eccentric Funina revealed the majesty befitting a water goddess. She stared intently in Mu Feng's direction, cleanly and decisively interrupting the nobles' protests.
Mu Feng glanced at Funina meaningfully before continuing his statement.
What I want to say is…
That's not a fairy tale.
Mu Feng paused, then raised his voice and said:
"The bodies of the Fontaine people will dissolve in the waters of the primordial womb sea."
"The torrential rain conveniently concealed the water stains left after the body had dissolved."
"And this is the truth behind the disappearance of the Men in Black."
wow——
Mu Feng's words immediately provoked a strong reaction in the opera house, with noise and debate filling the air, demonstrating the shock people felt at what Mu Feng had said.
The most vehement reaction came from a group of nobles in the plaintiff's seat, one of whom roared at the top of his lungs:
"Ridiculous! How can such a baseless rumor be used as evidence in a case?"
The audience below the stage were also skeptical, with only a few people showing a thoughtful expression.
After all, Mu Feng's words were too outlandish and hard to believe.
The nobles seemed to have anticipated this as well, and they were confident that Mu Feng could not produce any evidence to convince everyone.
The scales tipped again, and the situation once again developed in a direction completely unfavorable to Mu Feng.
Navelette remained silent in the dock, while the water goddess Funina stared intently at Mu Feng, as if trying to see right through him.
Mu Feng also stared intently at Vilette's reaction, and said softly:
"Your Honor, what do you think?"
"According to the laws of Fontaine, the Supreme Judge may not interfere with the trial of a case."
Navelette remained silent for a long time, but responded to Mu Feng's question with a completely irrelevant answer.
But Mu Feng understood what Villette meant.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Mu Feng burst into laughter once again. His manic laughter echoed throughout the Opiclie Opera House, startling all the audience members.
Mu Feng pointed in the direction of Vilette, laughing so hard he could barely breathe, but his voice was filled with boundless sorrow.
"Hahahaha... Na Vilette!"
"As the Dragon King of Water, don't tell me you don't understand the function of the Primordial Sea of Conception water!"
"Just because of rigid rules that mean nothing, you allow your family members to be bullied by others, and they don't even dare to speak up and testify!"
Is this your idea of justice?
"Answer me! Navelette!"
The questioning echoed in the quiet opera house, and Mu Feng's seemingly desperate madness plunged the opera house into a deathly silence.
Navilette on the platform remained expressionless, but the slight tightening of his knuckles gripping the scepter revealed his inner turmoil.
"Shut up! How dare you slander Lord Villette's justice!"
The nobles on the other side, however, seemed to have seized a weakness in Mu Feng and seized the opportunity to attack him.
Mu Feng stopped his maniacal laughter, looking down with disdain at the jumping nobles, as if he were a god looking down on ants on the ground.
Suddenly, Mu Feng smiled, a smile that sent a bad feeling through everyone present.
"You need evidence, right?"
"I give."
With lightning speed, Mu Feng took out a small glass bottle from his hidden pocket. The bottle contained a transparent liquid, which faintly revealed a bewitching blue-purple light under the lamp.
These are the pieces of evidence that Mu Feng found in the nobleman's house.
On the high platform, Violet's slender dragon eyes contracted sharply, then transformed into a streak of water light that rushed towards the defendant's dock.
But, it's too late.
"Hahahaha! Noblemen of Fontainebleau! I'll be waiting for you in hell!"
In the shadows cast by the lamplight, the boy's face was blurred. He laughed wildly, as if taking his final bow at the end of a grand performance, and downed the liquid in his hand in one gulp.
The next moment, amidst gasps of surprise, the boy's body melted away like ice crystals under the scorching sun, leaving only a puddle of unremarkable water as proof of his existence.
In the last moment before his consciousness faded, Mu Feng smiled and looked towards the entrance of the opera house, as if it were a mixture of regret and relief.
Look, Caroline.
everything is over.
