The matter of D'Artagnan and the whale has naturally become the most important thing right now.

After some discussion, everyone felt that the direction of things was becoming clearer, and there were two key issues to focus on now.

First, it is about how D'Artagnan was exonerated and how he regained his freedom.

Second, the edict ordered that the abnormality of the cardinal should be resolved as soon as possible.

Both points one and two are important. In Su Hao's view, the first point is the key to advancing the plot: D'Artagnan's arrival in Fontaine is not a coincidence.

Arecino may have known this, which is why she agreed to let him participate in the plan.

Of course, Su Hao certainly didn't expect that it was actually D'Artagnan who, after learning of the existence of whales in Fontaine, shamelessly forced his way in.

The second point is also very simple. It is unclear whether the decree to decide the cardinal is just acting erratically this time, or if it will continue to do so.

In any case, Funina was going to check out the Cardinal of Decree and see what was going on with it.

And so, the next day arrived.

The weather in Fontaine is really unpredictable! It rained all night, but today the sun is shining brightly.

Su Hao enjoyed the beautiful weather, then lay down in the courtyard and watched Tadalia and Shen He fight.

Both Tadalia and Shen He felt a bit stifled after arriving in Fontainebleau.

Regardless, both of them were eager for battle, but after arriving in Fontainebleau, one of them did not encounter any strong opponents.

One of them hadn't even fought at all! Now that the two of them can fight to their hearts' content, they naturally want to have a good fight.

Shen He skillfully used spear techniques and celestial talismans, employing all sorts of methods to attack Tartaglia, who was armed with the Demon King's weapons.

Tadalia laughed heartily, like a masochist, letting Shen He unleash his full power, as he could endure even more.

Gan Yu, Jiu Qiren, and Shanhu Gongxinhai silently replenished the barrier's power. If the barrier was damaged, the three women would repair it promptly.

It should be noted that both Shen He and Tatalia are not weak. If no barrier is set up and they are allowed to perform freely,

Their battle could very well destroy a large portion of Fontaine.

Yes, this is no joke; it's a serious matter that deserves to be taken seriously.

Just as Shen He and Dadalia were fighting, Su Hao sensed something and looked to the side, just in time to see Vilette push open the door and walk in.

"Su Hao, you were looking for me?" Because they were very familiar with each other, Na Vilet sat down next to Su Hao and watched as Dadalia and Shen He sparred in front of them.

Navelette glanced at the surrounding barrier, frowned slightly, but didn't say anything more.

Because fighting is strictly prohibited in almost every city!

After all, the wielder of the Eye of God, who can wield elemental power, can cause immense destruction to the city.

In Liyue, there are also non-Liyue officials who are not allowed to fight or use elemental power within the city.

If discovered, in addition to paying a huge amount of Mora, they will also face legal sanctions from Liyue.

Similar regulations and laws exist in other countries as well; in any case, no one can fight freely in a city—this is an ironclad rule.

However... in Fontaine, once someone buys a house, they can move around freely and do whatever they want in their own home.

As long as it doesn't break the law or infringe on the legitimate interests of others, anything is permissible, including fighting.

Of course, knowing this was one thing, but looking at Dadalia and Shen He fighting in front of him, Vilette was still somewhat worried, after all, the two of them were too powerful.

If the barrier is damaged, the aftershocks of the battle could very likely harm people nearby.

Although I know Su Hao and his group are there, and it's impossible for this to happen, what if it does?

However, out of politeness, Villette didn't say much, only frowning slightly.

"Here, have some water," Su Hao said, offering water to Vilette.

Navelette nodded slightly, reached out and picked up the glass. He didn't drink the water immediately, but instead took a whiff of it.

"Oh?" A rare look of surprise appeared on Vilette's usually indifferent face as he looked at Su Hao. "This is spring water from Liyue? And its quality is excellent."

"Su Hao, did you manage to go back to Liyue? That's really kind of you. Actually, tasting water is just a hobby of mine, you don't need to go to so much trouble."

Even before drinking it, Vilette could smell that it was spring water from Liyue, and of the highest quality.

"Can you smell it?" Paimon asked, quite shocked. It was the first time she had ever seen someone who could smell the source of water.

Although Ying knew that Navelette was good at tasting water, she didn't expect that the other party was actually that good.

Gan Yu, Jiu Qiren, and Shan Guogong Xin Hai, who were maintaining the barrier, also cast surprised glances over.

No?! You knew that before you even tasted it?! Is this the true value of a water connoisseur?!

"It's not that complicated, but how did you smell Vilette?!"

Su Hao was quite surprised, saying that this thing was sent to him by Gui Zhong, who said he wanted Vilette to give her some feedback.

Gui Zhong ran to the vicinity of the residence of the True Lord of Liuyun Borrowing Wind and got spring water from the mountain next to her.

As for why Gui Zhong went to find Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhen Jun, it was because she had gained a different understanding of Mechanical Ruo Tuo and hoped that he would stop his seclusion and come out to improve Mechanical Ruo Tuo with her.

Because of this, Gui Zhong also brought some spring water for Su Hao.

Similarly, when Su Hao was hosting Vilette today, he also offered her the water.

Su Hao originally planned to give Navelette some water from Inazuma, but considering that the water quality in Inazuma wasn't very good, he gave up on the idea.

"Ah."

Navelette nodded slightly, gazing at the water glass before him, and calmly said, "Perhaps it's because I am the Water Dragon King, and my senses are different from others."

"I can clearly see that there is a faint fluctuation of geo elemental energy in this glass of water, and of all the water I have ever drunk, only the water from Liyue has this effect."

"As for why I could smell that it was spring water, it's probably because my nose is too sensitive."

As he said this, Vilette took a sip, a hint of joy on his face, as if the fatigue of the past few days had been swept away by this mouthful of spring water from Liyue.

"Wow~ It feels just like when I drink a beverage." Paimon looked at this scene and felt it was somewhat familiar. Wasn't this the same expression he made when drinking a beverage?

“Perhaps for Mr. Navelette, drinking water is similar to us drinking beverages.” Ying nodded slightly, agreeing with Paimon’s words.

But Gan Yu added, "Perhaps, it's just like how the Emperor likes to drink tea. Different waters and different tea leaves can create different flavors when mixed together."

"Mr. Navelette probably prefers to drink pure water."

Navelette nodded slightly, agreeing with what the people around her said; they were all right.

Soon, Navelette turned his gaze to Su Hao and said calmly, "Su Hao, is there something you want to tell me?"

"I still have three trials to attend to today. After you finish your business here, I should head to the Opicclay Opera House."

"Hmm? Why are there three trials to handle today?" Su Hao didn't mention his own affairs first, since he could put his plea for D'Artagnan aside for now. These three trials were quite unexpected.

Although Su Hao hadn't been in Fontainebleau for long, he had learned something through Navia, Charlotte, and Chiori.

That is the trial in Fontaine. There are basically no two trials a day. There is only one trial every day, and it is a very stable one.

Unless it's a heinous case, such as a Fool's Enforcer committing murder in the street, or the main culprit in a series of missing girls appearing, a trial will not begin immediately.

Otherwise, the Fontaine Trials were scheduled, with one trial per day, and each trial would last for about two to four hours.

Simply put, an afternoon just flew by like that~

But if there are three trials in one day, doesn't that mean Villette has to work all day long?

“There are two reasons.” Navelette took another sip of water to moisten her throat and continued, “First, although Vasher is dead, the things he left behind still need to be dealt with.”

"And his accomplices and partners will be tried. In fact, this trial should have been held yesterday evening."

"But the trial was postponed because of the decree ordering the cardinal."

The fact that the Cardinal Decree found D'Artagnan guilty is big news, and Frynn has said that she will check with the Cardinal Decree.

But after sightseeing with Su Hao, Naxi Da, and their group yesterday, she was so tired that she went straight to sleep after returning to Mo Mang Palace.

It wasn't until this morning, just now, after I finished washing up, that I went to check the decree to the cardinal.

Su Hao was clear on the first point: Vashes was able to become a local bigwig in Fontainebleau because he must have had partners, and his subordinates were selling Les and kidnapping girls for him.

These guys, Navelette certainly won't let them off easily.

After all... any evil will be brought to justice!!!

But Su Hao was curious about the second point, and he asked it out.

"The second point is that Linni wants to perform a magic show and needs to rent a venue, which she needs to use tomorrow."

Navelette said calmly, "The time was booked two months ago. I would not deliberately delay other people's schedules unless there are special circumstances."

Su Hao was somewhat moved by what Villette said.

No wonder Navelette is respected by so many people; there's a reason for it. At the very least, he doesn't maliciously block other people's dates.

Even when unexpected situations arise, he chooses to work overtime himself rather than let others bear the burden of the unexpected.

"Linnie?! A magic show?! Tomorrow?!?!" Paimon was very excited at this moment. She had known Linnie since back in Liyue.

At that time, Linnie and Lynette introduced themselves as the magician and the assistant.

Linni was tasked with building good relationships with travelers, so he was quite attentive to Paimon.

There's a saying that goes, if you want to win someone over, you must first win the favor of those around them.

That's why Linni performed several magic tricks for Paimon, leaving Paimon completely bewildered and only able to clap his hands in amazement.

Lynette, on the other hand, said that her brother's skills had not yet been fully displayed, and the stage was not big enough. She said that Paimon would only see what "magic" was when he had a real stage.

It was from that time on that Paimon began to look forward to Linney and Lynette's performance.

I never expected to see the siblings perform so soon after arriving in Fontainebleau! It was absolutely fantastic!

Ying's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt as she fell into a brief moment of thought, since Linni and Linette were members of the Fools.

Their father is Arecino, the Executor of the Fatui. Back in Liyue, Luminous had met Arecino and knew about her style of doing things.

During the mission, Linnie and Lynette are unlikely to do anything pointless.

Magicians and magic assistants are indeed their identities, but they probably won't use that identity when faced with a mission.

The logic is simple: when it comes to official business, who would use their personal identity?

Take Gan Yu for example. She came to Fontaine for tourism, but she certainly didn't come as a secretary of the Liyue Sept.

Because if she visits Fontainebleau under this identity, the nature of the visit will completely change.
