King Ember's Journey to Tevat

Chapter 792 The Cardinal’s Decree
"I suddenly felt that it didn't matter whether I was in the dock or not. It seemed that they could judge me even if there was no defendant."

Hearing the noise below, the young master stood up and let out a melancholy sigh.

"Since we're here, let's at least finish this first." Yu Jin expressed his deep agreement. He also stood up and patted the young master's shoulder.

"Look! Isn't the defendant still here?"

"I said that a big shot like the executive officer would never run away without dignity."

"Why do I feel that this executive officer doesn't look very confident? Could it be that he has anticipated his own outcome?"

……

Seeing the young man's head popping out from the dock, the audience below started to make noise again.

But this time their voices didn't last long.

"quiet!!!"

"Boom!"

The scepter hit the floor in front of him heavily, and the loud sound instantly suppressed everything.

When Yu Jin turned his head, he found that Villette was already standing on the judgment seat above the big scale.

Noticing Yu Jin's gaze, Villette simply nodded to him. As the highest judge, he had already examined all the information on both sides of the case before the trial.

He had expected that Yu Jin would be the young master's agent, so when he saw Yu Jin in the dock, he didn't have much reaction.

In other words, there should be no overreaction at all. No matter what the relationship between the plaintiff and the defendant is with Navillatte, as the highest judge, he should treat them impartially.

"This trial is to clarify the main responsible parties and punishment measures for the Fontaine public safety incident a few days ago."

"Both the plaintiff and the defendant are present. Please make your accusation."

"Hey, hey! I accuse this kid of committing a crime against the public! The explosion a few days ago was so huge, if it happened somewhere else, it would be unimaginable!"

As soon as Villette finished speaking, Finina, who was sitting on the sofa, jumped out impatiently, pointed at the young master and said a lot of things proudly.

The young man had only one question to ask the girl in front of him, whose hair was jumping and whose face was full of pride.

"No? Who are you?"

He didn't remember who he had hurt during the fight? How come a specific plaintiff suddenly appeared out of nowhere?

"You don't even know me? It's the famous goddess of justice, Furninna!" Furninna put her hands on her hips, tilted her head up, and gave the young master a look that said "experience it yourself".

"Wuhu! Lord Water God is still so confident!" A few shouts came from the audience seats below at the right time. It seems that Funina is quite popular in the hearts of the people of Fontaine.

"Uh……"

Young Master and Yu Jin looked at each other. The Water God... is a little special.

"Does the defendant have any other comments?"

"Well, since he is the water god, that makes sense." The young man spread his hands and accepted the explanation.

The water god can completely represent Fontaine, and it is reasonable for him to accuse himself with her as the plaintiff.

"Okay, Furninna, please show me the evidence you have against Tartaglia."

That Villette looked at Furninna and signaled that she could continue.

"Evidence? That's too much!" Furninha sat back on the sofa, crossed her legs and gave a look to Clorinde beside her.

Seeing this, Clorinde stepped forward from behind, with a pile of photos in her hands.

"These are the pictures taken when the crime happened, and Tartaglia's face is clearly visible in them."

"I don't think there's a need to show too much. There are even photos in the audience that have a better angle and clearer image than what I have."

Clorinde showed the photo in her hand and then handed it to the security guard who came over.

At the same time, her words caused quite a stir in the audience below.

"That's right! I remember that the headlines these days were all about this executive's headshot. It made me want to vomit."

"That's too much. I witnessed the entire case with my own eyes. Not only that, I have many photos that the newspaper doesn't have!" "There's no suspense. The accusation is completely established. It's not exciting at all."

……

The audience chattered about their opinions. Apart from some who showed off their presence and had many secret photos, most people actually sighed that the trial process was too dull and boring, without any ups and downs.

"Hey, it seems that there are still many people who hope that you can overturn the verdict." Yu Jin naturally also heard the sighs of the audience below, and he immediately poked the young man next to him with his elbow.

"Haha, then I really have to thank them." After hearing this, the young master just responded with a forced smile.

Didn't he know what these Fontaine people were thinking? They hoped he could overturn the verdict, just to have more fun. Being treated like a monkey, the young master couldn't be happy anyway.

The audience below was still talking, but the young master was getting impatient. He glanced at the indifferent Navelette and said in a half-annoyed and half-confused tone:

"These people are so noisy, why didn't that guy just now tell them to shut up?"

Just now, when there was a little noise, Villette would maintain order. This usually worked well, and the people of Fontaine seemed to respect the Supreme Judge even more than Funina.

But now this place is as bustling as a vegetable market, and he actually doesn't care. How can the young master not be surprised?
"Have you ever heard of that thing?"

Yu Jin was not as impatient as the young master. As he spoke, he walked to the edge of the dock, looked at the large scale below and asked.

"I only know that this thing is called [Cardinal Oracle and Judgment], and I don't know anything else." The young man shook his head. He didn't know what this big balance was used for.

Hearing the young master's expected answer, Yu Jin did not feel regretful. He was just asking casually.

What's more, he seemed to have figured out a little bit of the effect of this thing.

"Close your eyes."

"What?"

The young master did not close his eyes, but it was almost the same - because Yu Jin had already covered his eyes with his hands.

The darkness in the field of vision lasted only a moment and then ended. Yu Jin's hand moved away, and when the young master looked at the opera house again, the scene he saw was very different from before.

Countless blue dots of light floated in the air. Their source was the noisy audience below, and their destination was the Cardinal who gave orders in the middle of the opera house.

The young master rubbed his eyes, and more blue spots appeared.

"What is this thing?"

He pointed to the air and asked in surprise.

"If I'm guessing correctly, it's something like emotion. And it's about the emotion of this trial."

"Well...it looks like the results will be out soon."

Sure enough, after Yu Jin said this, the young master saw spots of light in the sky rushing towards the Cardinal of Oracle and Judgment at an astonishing speed.

At this moment, the Cardinal of the Oracle also emitted a faint blue light that was visible to the naked eye.

"Kakaka!"

The sound of the gears turning was so clear in the human voice, and blue light began to fill the groove on Funina's half of the scale.

Correspondingly, the Cardinal of the Oracle also began to lean towards Funina.

It was Villette who first noticed the change in the Cardinal's authority, so he knocked the ground with his scepter again.

"quiet!!!"

The crowd fell silent instantly, and then Villette continued:
"The cardinal and I agree in the decree. Judging from the current situation, the charges are in favor of being proven."

After that, he looked towards the dock and asked:

"Then the defendant Tartaglia and his agent Ember, do you have anything to say in your defense?"

"If you want to defend yourself, please start now. There is no need to defend yourself. We will move on to the conviction phase next."

"Of course!" ×2
Upon hearing this, Yu Jin and Gong Zi both raised their arms.
