Original God, Teyvat's own Great Love Immortal

"Ok?"

He looked up and suddenly noticed that there was one person missing from this trial.

Funina, who usually rushes to attend the trial, was unexpectedly absent today.

This is not common sense. Given her personality and the fact that there have been few cases recently, she should be very enthusiastic about participating in the trial.

Just when Villette was confused, Finina suddenly appeared.

"Ah~~~" She yawned and lazily came to the courtroom. As per convention, she sat in the highest seat in the entire courtroom.

"Ms. Furninna, did you not sleep well last night?"

Seeing Furninna's bloodshot eyes and tired face, Villette asked with concern.

"Ah... yes! I don't know why, I couldn't sleep last night, hehe..."

Villette didn't doubt it too much and turned to the business, "Have you heard about the prison break last night?"

"What?! Prison break! Who did it? Who has the guts to break into the Fontaine prison?"

Funina's acting is perfect, without any flaws.

"It seems that you don't know about this yet. I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. Today's trial will be cancelled."

"How could this happen...Have they caught the criminal? Don't let him escape!"

"Don't worry, the Enforcement Court and the Shadow Chasing Court have already blocked all the main traffic routes and elevators. As long as they are still in Fontaine, they will definitely not be able to escape. It is only a matter of time before they are caught."

Funina breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. The laws of Fontaine can't be trampled on so easily. Since today's trial has been cancelled, I'll go back and catch up on some sleep."

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the courtroom, and many mechanical guards and Melusin hurried out.

After a while, a Melusin ran in, sweating profusely, and reported to Violet and Funina: "Chief Justice! Lord Water God! There is an emergency!"

"Speak." Villette said calmly.

"The prisoner who escaped last night! That Sherlock! He came back by himself!"

Upon hearing this, Violet and Finina's eyes widened at the same time.

Funina's face turned pale, and she murmured in her heart, "How could it be? Didn't I tell him to stay there? How on earth did he get out from the bottom of the sea?"

After the two of them communicated last night, Furninna accepted Sherlock's help, but this help could only be done in secret. On the surface, he was still a wanted criminal in Fontaine, so she let him stay safely in the secret room on the seabed and communicated with him secretly.

But it wasn't long after that and he appeared outside the courtroom in such a refreshing way?

That idiot, does he know what stupid things he is doing? !

Gu~ Is he going to betray me?

The noise was getting closer and closer, and Sherlock walked into the courtroom calmly, surrounded by a group of mechanical guards.

Lu Sheng's eyes swept across the huge courtroom, stayed on Funina for a second, and then focused on Violet.

"Chancery, do you know me?"

The sudden question left everyone scratching their heads.

Navillatte narrowed his eyes and stared at the suspect who had returned.

"I know him, Sherlock Moriarty, suspect in the Fontaine bombing, prison escapee." His voice was steady and emotionless, just like he was during previous trials.

"You had already escaped, but you suddenly chose to return to your own trial seat. I am very curious about this. What is your purpose for coming back?"

It seems that Shuilong didn't recognize himself, which means that he didn't survive the divine punishment of justice.

Lu Sheng's doubts were dispelled, and he said loudly: "I am here to exonerate myself! I am innocent! So there is no need to run away!"

That Villette raised his head and looked at Lu Sheng. "Whether he is guilty or not is not up to you alone to decide. The answer will be given through the trial and the final decree of the cardinal."

Lu Sheng shook his head, "I am innocent, so I don't need to be tried. No one can judge me!"

"Can I understand this sentence as you want to resist the trial and resist the laws of Fontaine?"

"No, I came back because I respect the law."

"You claim to respect the law, but you are unwilling to stand trial. What is your purpose for coming here today?"

Lu Sheng solemnly declared in front of the entire courtroom: "I demand a judicial duel!"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

"Legal duel? I haven't heard these words for a long time."

"Is he crazy? This is not an ordinary case. The plaintiff is Fontaine!"

"That guy looks so weak. Duel? Ha! Don't make me laugh!"

Judicial duels are part of Fontaine law.

Simply put, one of the plaintiff and the defendant can reach an agreement before the trial begins to replace the trial with a duel.

Or if one is dissatisfied with the trial result, he can apply for a duel to escape guilt, but the duel opponent will be replaced by the cardinal who makes the judgment, that is, Fontaine.

Both parties can appoint a duel agent to conduct the duel. Regardless of the outcome, both parties must accept the result and are not allowed to have any complaints, otherwise it would be a stain on the Fontainebleau law. If they retaliate privately, they will be directly convicted by the Fontainebleau Court and imprisoned.

In the past, judicial duels were common, but gradually, with the rise of duel agency business, judicial duels changed.

Whoever has money and connections and can afford a powerful duel agent can escape sanctions.

Therefore, Fontaine is also deliberately preventing duels from happening. The method is very simple and crude, which is to train a group of powerful duel agents to fight on behalf of the court.

The most famous among them is the female swordsman named Clorinde.

Since her debut, she has never lost a game and has maintained an undefeated streak to date.

And this time, the prisoner named Sherlock dared to challenge the court to a judicial duel in public, which was simply seeking his own death!

This case is not a minor civil dispute, but a major case that endangers the national security of Fontaine. The plaintiff represents the Fontaine court!

In other words, Sherlock's duel opponent must be Clorinde, the proxy duelist who has never lost once.

"Don't jump to conclusions yet. Maybe that guy hired a very powerful agent. Otherwise, how could he have the confidence to come back?"

"Interesting! So interesting! I thought it was just another boring trial, but I didn't expect there would be a duel to watch!"

"It's been a long time since I've seen a duel! I'm already excited!"

"Boring! I want to see a river of blood!!!"

As spectators, the audience's enthusiasm was very high. After all, compared with the boring trial session, the bloody duel can stimulate people's nerves more.

While the audience was discussing, Chief Justice Villette asked, "According to the Fontaine Law, you are indeed qualified to initiate a duel. So, Mr. Shylock, who will you choose to be your duel agent?"

Lu Sheng smiled calmly, "I choose myself."

Fontaine: Chapter 143: Have you ever been defeated?

Hearing this, a solemn expression finally appeared on Villette's calm face.

In fact, he did not want anyone to resolve disputes through judicial duels, as that would inevitably lead to wrongful convictions.

Only the final result of the trial by the cardinal after the decree is convincing.

But this was the law of Fontaine, and as a mere chief justice he had no right to change the rule.

Furninna felt that there was nothing wrong with this rule.

"Mr. Sherlock, you need to be responsible for what you said. I will ask you one last time, do you want to participate in the judicial duel in your own capacity? You still have a chance to change your mind now."

Villette was really afraid that Clorinde would accidentally kill him. After all, judging from his appearance, this man didn't look like a strong man at all. He didn't even have the Eye of God.

This sentence was his final hint. If the other party still insisted on his own way, then forget it.

"I say, don't you people of Fontaine understand what I'm saying? Why are you dithering? I've already said that I'm participating in a judicial duel on my own behalf. Who is my opponent? Hurry up and serve it."

The whole place was in an uproar again.

"What an arrogant boy!"

"This is too much! He doesn't take us Fontaine people seriously at all!"

"Damn it! Let Clorinde kill him!"

......

When the commotion subsided, Villette calmly gave the order, "Go and ask Ms. Clorinde to come over. This judicial duel will take place in thirty minutes. Mr. Sherlock, please stay in the courtroom during this time and don't walk around casually."

Lu Sheng agreed very readily, found a seat to sit down, crossed his legs leisurely, and looked very contented, which made many Fontaine people unhappy.

"Is he here to stand trial or to travel?"

Apart from the audience, the most anxious person was Fernina. She was fidgeting and kept looking at Sherlock, wanting to know what this guy was doing.

Can he beat Clorinde?

Furninna bit her lower lip, looking worried.

It has to be said that Sherlock's strength is a mystery. He can easily break the chains on his body, break out of the steel cage, and return to the ground safely from the underwater facility.

But there are many people who can do these things, but there is only one person in the entire Fontaine who holds the title of the strongest proxy duelist.

Clorinde, a being too powerful to be human.

Finina had witnessed her duels many times. Her swordsmanship was so advanced that ordinary people could not understand it. In many duels, she simply defeated her opponent in a single move, without giving the opponent any chance to breathe.

What's even more outrageous is that Clorinde, as the first place, has a huge gap with the second place.

She could easily beat the second place.

This is extremely terrifying. She alone caused a sharp drop in the number of judicial duels, because no one could find an agent who could defeat Clorinde, and applying for a judicial duel meant a certain loss.

Villette seemed to notice Fernina's embarrassment and asked, "Ms. Fernina, are you feeling unwell? Why do you look so anxious? Don't you usually love watching trials and duels?"

"Ah... Because I didn't sleep well last night, I feel a little sluggish... Hehe... It's okay! Mr. Chief Justice, you don't have to worry about me."

Funina quickly suppressed her nervous expression and transformed back into her original carefree, condescending image of the water god.

"Claurinde is here!"

Following Meilushin's call, a woman in a purple cloak walked into the courtroom. She had long black hair with a bluish tint, and her violet pupils revealed a cold and murderous look.

Holding a dueling sword, she walked towards the center of the courtroom with steady steps. The white shirt on her chest was filled with justice and bulged out so much that even the buttons seemed about to burst.

Lu Sheng's eyes automatically searched for the enemy, first scanning for mines, then looking into her eyes. When he found that the other party was not looking at him, he focused his gaze on the long legs in purple stockings.

Due to long-term martial arts training, Clorinde's thighs are strong and powerful, and she can easily crush a durian. The curvature of her buttocks is quite full and raised enough to accommodate a person sitting on it.

"Mr. Justice Navilette, here I come."

Clorinde bowed slightly towards Villette with great respect, and placed her right hand in front of her abdomen as a sign of courtesy.

Navilette nodded, and suddenly saw the sweat stains on Clorinde's clothes, and asked, "Did you just fight with someone?"

Clorinde confessed, "Yes, not long ago there was a weird guy who insisted on sparring with me, and he took action first. I had no choice but to resist, but I beat him away, so there's no need to worry about him."

Oh? He was able to take the initiative to provoke Clorinde and escape from her hands....

More and more strange things happened in Fontaine.

This little episode did not affect Clorinde's duel. Instead, it was a warm-up exercise that made her more motivated.

"Claulinde, you will serve as Fontaine's duel agent and meet your challenger, the suspect Mr. Sherlock. Do you accept his duel application?"

After being introduced by Navrette, Clorinde looked at Sherlock, who was sitting in the audience surrounded by guards, and frowned slightly.

it's him?

"I accept." Clorinde didn't take it seriously at all. According to past experience, this duel could be ended in one move.

"Well, I declare: the judicial duel has officially begun! According to the rules, both of you will duel in the courtroom. Mr. Sherlock, as the defendant, if you win, you will be exempted from trial and released in court. If you lose, you will be convicted at best, or die on the spot at worst. Do you have any objection to what I said?"

Lu Sheng stood up and shook his head calmly, "No objection, I accept the duel conditions."

He then asked the audience who had come to watch the duel: "How many of you bet on me to win? Raise your hands so I can see."

There was silence all around, except for a drunk man who raised his hand in a daze.

"Uh uh uh...I bet 30,000 Mora on you hehehe...because I'm a lunatic! Eh ha!"

Lu Sheng sighed in disappointment, "It's useless to give you the chance~ But first congratulations to this brother, Fontaine will soon give birth to a multi-millionaire."

The people of Fontaine looked at each other, not understanding what this man meant. How could a prisoner ask himself the odds before going to a duel?

Soon the duel officially began, and both sides went on stage together. The audience was already sitting in the audience.
