Navia nodded, her expression hardening again: "You're right, I will never let these evil people go unpunished, not only for them and my father, but also for the justice in my heart!"
Li Xiao extended his hand to her and said, "Then let's go find Fukaros together and explain this to her."
Without hesitation, Navia stepped forward and took Li Xiao's hand.
Li Xiao led her and Shen He back to Mo Mang Palace.
At this moment, Funina and Fucarus had just finished lunch and were preparing to take a nap.
The sudden appearance of Li Xiao and his two companions startled Fu Ningna once again.
Furina yelled angrily, "Why didn't you knock again?!"
Li Xiao apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I have something urgent to discuss with you."
"Urgent?"
Fukalos got up from the bed and sat up, looking at the three of them.
"Is such that....."
Li Xiao gave a brief explanation of Marcel's crimes.
Fukalos's expression immediately turned serious.
Furnessa stood up and headed for the door, saying angrily, "I'm going to inform Navelette right now. I want to put that guy named Marcellus on trial!"
Li Xiao didn't stop her. This matter was going to be reported to the Supreme Judge Navelette anyway, so it was fine for Funina to go.
They didn't have to wait long before everyone gathered at the Opiclie Opera House.
The last time Li Xiao came here was when he was rescuing Fontaine. He still remembered kissing a large group of beautiful girls that time.
Although Navelette, who arrived with Funina, remained calm, the light rain outside suggested that he was not in a good mood.
"I have already learned about the matter from Ms. Furina. The trial will begin in an hour."
Li Xiao was curious about something else, "After Fucarus left, can the Cardinal Decree still be used?"
Fukalos shook his head and said, "That can no longer be used. The judgments in the cases during this period were all discussed and decided by Navilette and me."
"Hmm? So, what do you usually do, Funina?"
He heard that the current rulers of Fontaine acknowledge that the two water goddesses, Funina and Fucarus, govern Fontaine together. Why doesn't Funina discuss these matters with them?
"Um... this..."
Fu Ningna looked away guiltily.
Fukaros explained, "Frinina isn't really suited for these things."
She had tried involving Funina in these matters, but the results... were hard to say.
So every day she would arrange for Funina to visit the trial and do some things she liked.
"Oh~ I understand."
Li Xiao feigned sudden realization and looked at Funina with a hint of pity.
Noticing his gaze, Funina immediately panicked, "What are you looking at?! What kind of look is that? I'm not stupid!"
I didn't say you were stupid.
Li Xiao wanted to laugh; he hadn't even used his basic attack yet, and Fu Ningna had already used her ultimate.
That's what your eyes mean!
If Shen He hadn't been following Li Xiao closely, Fu Ningna would have pounced on him and bit him.
"Alright, Li Xiao, stop bullying Funina too much."
At this moment, Fukaros spoke up to mediate. After so much testing, she knew exactly how much to tease Fryna, so when she felt it was about time, she stepped in to smooth things over.
Li Xiao and Fukaros exchanged a glance, understanding what was going on. Li Xiao then apologized to Funinna: "I'm sorry, Funinna, it's my fault."
"Humph!"
Seeing Li Xiao back down, Funina proudly raised her head, feeling extremely smug.
Navigette, watching their conversation, felt somewhat out of place.
Indeed, human emotions are still too difficult to understand.
After the jokes, everyone began to discuss the details of the trial.
Fukalos said with some worry, "Masele's matter is easy to handle, but those nobles are more difficult to deal with."
Li Xiao didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with it, and casually said, "What's so difficult about dealing with it? Why not just kill them all?"
"Sigh... If only it were that simple." Fukaros sighed.
“We certainly have the right to deal with those who have solid evidence of guilt, but many of them are just insignificant members of their families and are clearly being used as scapegoats.”
We lack evidence against the true masterminds behind the crimes, making it impossible to bring them to trial.
Hearing this, Li Xiao was speechless.
“Fukaros, I have a question for you.”
“Hmm? You go ahead,” Fukalos replied.
"Are there any noble families among you who are stronger than you or Vilette?"
"This... there shouldn't be one."
Both she and Navelette possessed god-level combat power, while the nobles were merely mortals, with at most a few holding the Eye of God.
"Then why are you still giving them face? Just kill them. Those involved in these crimes deserve to be executed ten times over."
“But we cannot do this without trial; it would be against the justice of Fontaine!” Fukaros insisted.
Li Xiao stared at her and said seriously, "So-called justice is built on might. And might is power! Since they can't defeat us even if they combine their strength, then we are the righteous ones."
"this......"
Although Fukalos thought what he said was nonsense, he didn't know how to refute it.
At this point, Navelette spoke up: "If we continue to suppress the people with violence, it will definitely provoke a backlash."
Li Xiao shook his head and chuckled, "It seems that you, Vilette, still don't understand humans. If you oppress humans, there will definitely be individuals who resist."
But if you indulge them too much, they will take advantage of you.
Therefore, as long as we act with moderation, possess absolute power, and do the right thing, they will naturally accept it.
Moreover, if we manage public opinion well, they might even praise us.
"Phew... then let's do as you say."
Fucarus was persuaded by him.
Li Xiao patted his chest and said confidently, "Leave it to me!"
Not long after, led by Chavolle, the guard escorted Marcel to the Opiclie Opera House.
The audience, who had rushed to the scene, were already in place, ready to enjoy this new round of trials.
Li Xiao sat between Fucaros and Funinna, waiting together for the trial to begin.
Unfortunately, having learned from her experience watching the trial with Li Xiao last time, Funina had become smarter and expanded her private stands several times over, adding a few more chairs.
This action also meant that Li Xiao could no longer sit on the same chair with the two of them as before.
"quiet!"
Navigette sat in the seat of the Supreme Judge, her face solemn.
He looked down at Marcellus and said, "Defendant Marcellus, do you have anything to say about the accusations made against you by Fengshen Li Xiao?"
Marcel looked dejected. "Reporting to the Supreme Judge, I plead guilty."
Navilette then said, "Then please state your crime."
Marcellus repeated what he had said to Li Xiao and the others before.
When the conversation turned to the collusion with nobles, many people in the audience changed their expressions.
After listening, Navelette continued to ask, "Is what you said true?"
"Everything I said is true, and I have brought the evidence with me."
As Marcel spoke, the security team below the stage brought up more than a dozen boxes of documents.
With a wave of his hand, several documents flew automatically into his hands.
After glancing at it symbolically a few times, Navelette nodded. "The information is accurate."
At this moment, Fucarus stood up and said, "Marcel has committed multiple crimes, including kidnapping and murder. Supreme Judge, I propose that Marcel be sentenced to death."
Navelette chimed in, "I agree with Ms. Fucarus. I sentence Marcellus to death!"
"Wait a minute! Your Honor, I have something to say!"
Marcel then shouted.
Navilette: "Please speak."
“Those nobles were also involved in these matters. I remember many of their names, and there is a lot of evidence. Please make sure they are tried as well!”
Of course, Marcellus herself would never say such a thing, all because Li Xiao's hypnosis had never been turned off.
"Marcel! What nonsense are you spouting!"
Immediately, some people in the audience couldn't sit still and angrily denounced Marcellus.
Seeing this, Li Xiao asked with interest, "What's your name?"
Upon seeing that it was Li Xiao who spoke, the person who spoke immediately said respectfully, "Greetings, Lord Wind God, my name is Eugene Burnett."
“Burnette? I remember Marcellus mentioned that surname just now, didn’t she?”
Eugene immediately broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly retorted, "Lord Wind God, you are wise! That was all nonsense from Marcell!"
Li Xiao countered, "Then can the evidence lie?"
“This…” Eugene hesitated for a moment, “Then it’s possible that someone in our family did something wrong on their own. Please rest assured, I will investigate this matter thoroughly when I get back.”
“I’m telling you…” Li Xiao drawled, looking down at him coldly, “Trying to lie in front of the gods, aren’t you being a bit too presumptuous?”
