【Two-in-one chapter】

"Ah, I never thought that the recent uproar over the [Liyue homework case] would be a rumor. I actually quite liked her report."

"Who said it wasn't true? She was just unlucky and was caught as an example. I personally think that the sentence against her is too severe. After all, fake news is not uncommon in our Fontaine. Even big newspapers like Steambird have made mistakes, but they have never been punished so harshly."

"Hey~, I think your point of view is wrong. If you are wrong, you are wrong, and you should admit your mistake. You can't take it for granted just because some individual cases were not punished before."

"Well, what you said makes some sense, but I think..."

“…”

"Hey, do you remember that a singer from Fontaine said a few months ago that he would hold a unique concert somewhere outdoors this month, but January is almost over and he hasn't revealed the time or place."

"Oh? You mean that who? Who? Who was it? Never mind, I can't remember the name."

"How could you still think of him? He hasn't released any new songs, and there haven't been any activities. According to our Fontaine rules, if he's not alive, he's the same as dead. I guess he saw that the popularity of the [Fontaine homework case] was too high these two days, so he didn't dare to show up again to embarrass himself."

"Well, there is some truth in that. Maybe that's the case."

“…”

"Dear passengers, we have arrived at [Mojie Station]. Please check your personal belongings before leaving."

"Although I will take everyone's left-behind items to the lost and found office, it's very troublesome to handle the corresponding paperwork. After all, it's really difficult for us, Meilushin, to hold a pen."

As the tour guide finished her words, the noisy chatter beside Chao Ke stopped, and the passengers on the [track patrol ship] began to disembark one after another.

Chao Ke stood up from his seat, responded to the tour guide with a smile, and followed her down.

[Mojie Station] is quite a distance away from [Opiclay Opera House].

People need to go through several long corridors and pass the [Lujing Fountain] before they can reach the foot of the [Opiclee Opera House].

But fortunately, the scenery along the way is beautiful.

Both sides of the corridor are filled with natural flowers and plants, rolling mountains, and the vast sea in the distance.

Every few steps you take, you can see clear fountains gushing out in this winter season.

They spray water, showing the splendor of Fontainebleau, the water kingdom, at every moment.

Chao Ke looked at the people around him, many of whom were tourists from foreign countries.

They stopped here and admired the exotic scenery.

A young lady dressed as a mercenary from the Xumi Desert attracted Chao Ke's attention.

She stood on one side of the corridor, mesmerized by the rich beauty of the waters of Fontainebleau.

This scene also reminded Chao Ke of the time when he had an intense sexual intercourse with senior Falushan and she told him about the customs and habits of Xumi while the senior snuggled in his arms.

...

【Xumeru】This country is actually full of contradictions.

It contains two extremely contrasting landforms: desert and rainforest.

What's more troublesome is that the different civilizations born on these two different landforms have not had a pleasant relationship in recent centuries.

In the eyes of the residents of the [Desert] region, both "water" and "fountains" are things that are worth cherishing. However, for the [Rainforest] region, which has many ports and rivers, this is not taken seriously at all.

Just like water, the desert people who were born in the [desert] area have never been truly treated well by the people in the [rainforest] area.

Due to the accumulated grievances, there is no shortage of fountains and rivers even in the [rainforest] area of ​​Xumi, but people in the [desert] area always feel that the dew from [Fontainebleau] is sweeter.

Even the fountain in Fontainebleau is friendlier and more beautiful than that in the Rainforest area.

Perhaps it is the distance between civilization and geography that creates a sense of beauty, causing many desert people to look at the [Fontainebleau] on the other side of the ocean with some of their own fantasies about the "ideal country". They not only believe that the dew of Fontainebleau is pure sweet rain, but some even believe that the air there is full of sweetness.

......

That night, Chao Ke laughed for a long time in bed.

I wonder if Navellette, who tasted the domestic sewage from the people of Fontainebleau, the gathering place of many waters - the Fountain of Lujing, would agree that this water is sweet dew?

I wonder if those children who were imprisoned in underground cages and used for entertainment by the Fontaine nobles could smell the sweetness in the air?

If the people of [Sumeru] really want to pursue sweet rain, instead of going to [Fontainebleau] to pursue the so-called dew soaked in justice, it is better to go to the Chenyu Valley in [Liyue] to taste the fairy charm called [Rule of Man].

At least there, the expansion of [House of Hearth] encountered unprecedented resistance.

......

The trial at the Oprykle Opera House went on as scheduled.

Chao Ke also arrived on time before the trial began. He looked at the ticket in his hand and walked to the corresponding seat, which was the empty seat next to the girl Qianzhi.

"coming?"

Qianzhi looked up at the person who came and found it was Chao Ke, so she greeted him in a somewhat lazy voice.

After all, she is still a young girl. After receiving the ticket to the highest-standard opera house in a foreign country, Qianzhi could not suppress her curiosity and entered the venue early to observe.

But no matter how exquisite the architectural art is, it will still become tiring after continuous scrutiny.

And Qianzhi is at this stage.

"Ah."

He nodded slightly to Chao Ke, as a response to Qianzhi's greeting.

After sitting down next to Qianzhi, Chao Ke asked with interest, "How do you feel about the Opikle Opera House? Did it give you any inspiration for costume design?"

"Hmm....this question..."

Qianzhi frowned slightly, lowered her head and thought, and after a while she gave Chao Ke's answer.

“If you want to talk about inspiration, you can’t say there is none.”

“Even if you take just a little bit of the elegance and complexity of the Oprykle Opera House, it’s enough to support the design of a set of clothes.”

"But the ideas I have gained now can only be called some flashes of inspiration at best. They are still a little short of true inspiration."

He smiled at Ke and said warmly.

"It's okay, just watch it for now."

"After all, this good show in the afternoon hasn't even started yet."

"Is it?"

Chiori answered, bracing herself.

"It seems I should look forward to this trial more."

"Don't worry, with that guy here, this trial won't be boring."

As Chao Ke spoke, he looked up at the tuft of blue and white hair that emerged from the VIP seat. Well, it's a wonderful thing.

Although Chao Ke's gaze did not attract Furninna's attention, the [Supreme Judge] Navillatte, who was sitting next to her, had already noticed Chao Ke in his seat.

"Have you come out of [Mello Petersburg]..."

"Yes, as far as the security forces of [Mello Petersburg] are concerned, they can't stop him at all. As long as he wants to go, the way is right under his feet."

Although Villette had already discovered Chao Ke, he did not take any immediate action to capture him.

On the one hand, we have to consider the series of impacts brought about by arresting Chao Ke in public. On the other hand, since Chao Ke chose to sit in the Opikle Opera House openly, and there has been no news of any vicious jailbreak in Melo Petersburg recently.

From this point of view, Chao Ke’s outing was most likely approved.

It would be better to send a letter to the person in [Mello Petersburg] to ask first.

While Villette was thinking, the trial of this case officially began.

A team of lawyers formed by relevant departments of Liyue and the school involved filed a complaint against the woman surnamed Mao.

Although the woman surnamed Mao hired a professional lawyer to defend herself, she did not hold out any hope of winning the case.

Because whether in [Fontaine] or [Liyue], there are complete laws to punish rumormongers.

Because it is difficult to define rumors and the phenomenon is extremely complicated, relevant laws are rarely implemented.

To the extent that these laws have reached the point where they are being ignored by the relevant practitioners.

But when the authorities really want to control this chaos and catch an example, these ignored laws will undoubtedly become the sharpest swords.

The trial of the case was almost one-sided. Fortunately, Funina's several interesting speeches made the trial have several ups and downs, so that it did not become too dull.

However, everyone present in the field has actually already made a judgment on the outcome.

Finally, after hearing the speeches of both sides, the defense of the agents, the testimony of the witnesses, and the emotions of the audience, the scales on the [Cardinal of Decree] completely tipped in favor of one side.

And the [Supreme Judge] Navillatte also stood up and made the final judgment.

"I pronounce sentence..."

"Mao Yili, guilty!"

As Villette finished speaking, Chao Ke also perked up.

In addition to expressing his apology to Chiori, Chao Ke also had an additional purpose for this trip to the Opikley Opera House.

That is, through the complete observation of a trial, we can examine how the so-called "Cardinal of Decree" collects people's belief in "justice" and transforms it into "law compensation".

It would be great if we could detect any trace of [Fucaros] again.

As Chao Ke focused his attention, he vaguely felt a little bit of energy floating beside him and gathering in the direction of the [Cardinal of Oracle and Judgment].

It’s just that the energy fluctuation of this “power of faith” is too weak, or in other words, the energy fluctuation that Chao Ke can perceive is too weak.

It was like seeing flowers in the fog. Chao Ke couldn't even observe the form of this energy carefully, so how could he observe Fukaros, the so-called "Goddess" who was staying in the "Cardinal of Oracle and Judgment"...

"Bang. Bang. Bang..."

Suddenly, Chao Ke, who was trying hard to observe, felt a sudden beating in his heart.

A thought suddenly popped up in Chao Ke's mind.

"As long as you use the [Demon God Authority] of the water element, you can see the light and see everything here clearly."

"Hoo~ho~ho~"

Chao Ke took a deep breath and immediately closed his eyes, finally breaking free from this inexplicable impulse.

Qianzhi, who was standing by, noticed the change in Chao Ke's breathing rhythm, nudged Chao Ke with her elbow, and asked with some concern.

"Are you okay, Brother Chao Ke?"

"Well...I guess it's okay."

He shifted his attention away from Chao Ke, no longer looking at the Cardinal of Instructions and Judgments, and suppressed the throbbing in his heart.

Are you kidding? Using the [Demon God's Authority] without any disguise at this distance is equivalent to telling Villette that I also hold the [Demon God's Authority] of the water element in my hands...

How should I explain after being discovered by the Water Dragon King?

"Is this the power I gained from [Outside the World] that can rival that of [the World]?"

He shook his head and stopped thinking about this possibility.

Inside the opera house, as the Cardinal Decreed made his final decision on the case, the defendant Mao was helped out of her seat by the staff.

What awaits her next is a short period of life under the sea and a stain that she will carry for the rest of her life.

As the trial ended, the audience in the opera house gradually dispersed.

Sitting in the VIP seat, Funina yawned, stood up from the soft chair, rubbed her belly, and thought about which flavor of cake to try for afternoon tea later.

As for Navillet on the other side, after organizing the documents related to the case at hand, he also planned to return on a special ship with Funina to the office of [Momang Palace] to continue processing the work that had not been completed today.

Today's trial should have ended as usual, just like the trials that have been repeated over the past few hundred years.

But Furninna and Navillaette, who were about to leave, were shocked and stood there in a daze.

One by one, documents filled with case details slipped from Villette's hands and floated down to the stage of the opera house from a height like heavy snow.

In this unique "snow scene", Chao Ke, who had already walked to the exit of the Opicle Opera House, suddenly turned around and looked at the Cardinal of the Oracle and Judgement in the opera house.

This time, there was a hint of aura in Chao Ke's pupils that symbolized the power of authority.

Under the gaze blessed by the [Power of Authority], the goose yellow power of faith is no longer blurred, and it is intertwined with the scattered "snowflakes" to form a beautiful scene.

And at the end of this scene, there stood the figure of a lady.

"Fukalos..."
