At this moment, the image of Fernina crying while holding a mountain of documents appeared in Villette's mind.
Otherwise, we might as well transfer some more experts in this area to Funina.
But he seemed to have overlooked something important in what Funina said just now?
Wait, Furninna is going back to Melopenterygdal to go to jail?!
After thinking about what Furninna said before, even Villette couldn't keep calm...
ps: The previous chapter has been polished. My mind was too fuzzy yesterday, so I added 900 words. I don't know if those of you who have already subscribed need to pay extra coins to refresh. If you still have to pay, you don't have to make up for it. The content is almost the same. As for those who didn't subscribe before my revision, you won't lose out. Here, I only charge for every 500 words, which means I gave you 300 to 400 words.
I have to update now. If I don't, I will have to send it later. There are only a few days left, so I should get up early tomorrow and write.
Chapter 18: Leosley: Everyone I see now looks like a traitor
The news that Funina was finally back in prison stunned the people of Fontaine.
Can being in jail make you addicted?
However, apart from the regret that we won't be able to see more fun from Funina in the near future, there wasn't much reaction to this.
However, a small number of people became extremely curious about Mellow Petersburg because of this news.
Like Charlotte, and like [The Hearth House]...
What on earth was the water goddess Furninna doing in Melopenerburg? She still stayed there even after being cleared of all charges.
Lini didn't dare to delay and immediately passed the message to Alechino.
Compared to the nervous [House of Hearth], Charlotte was much more excited because she was going to Melo Petersburg to interview Leo... and the opportunity to interview Finina was not lost!
After learning the good news, Charlotte immediately packed her bags.
And today, two people can't sleep.
Navillaite even temporarily put down his work and came to Melo Petersburg to meet with Leosli.
Both of them looked a little serious. Leosley looked at Villette and spoke first.
"It seems that the situation is much more serious than we thought."
“I didn’t expect that Funina, the water goddess, would stay here for an ordinary person.”
"Do they still live together?"
"That's right. I can't separate them. After all, Finina is now the Lord of Water, not a prisoner under my command."
"Emily's sentence has also ended. She is a free woman."
Leosley spread his hands helplessly.
"So this is her real purpose, to stop me from changing the dormitory for our Water God."
"But I still can't figure out what her plan is. Although by clearing the water goddess Funina's name, she will no longer be under my control, thus destroying my plan to change her dormitory."
"But if we do this, too much will be revealed. Emily... cannot be unaware of this. It seems that she is very confident that everything is under her control."
Having said that, Leosli paused, then looked at Villette and continued.
"Even if she declared war on both of us at the same time, she would not be afraid."
"Even you can't do anything about her, Leosley?"
After hearing what Villette said, Leosli spoke in a somewhat unpleasant tone.
"Don't mention it, Villette."
"You don't know, my people have been infiltrated by her like a sieve now."
"Didn't you notice that there were fewer people when you came in than last time? They are all under investigation."
Navilette: "..."
"Can you imagine her ordering someone to add a lot of salt to my tea, just to show me her presence even if it meant exposing her eyeliner?"
Leosley was filled with rage when he thought about this matter. It was the first time that he felt so embarrassed. Now he had to try poison even during his most enjoyable tea time. Who could stand this?
The taste of the black tea that day even made him give up his favorite flavor of black tea and switch to other flavors.
The most important thing is that he has no other choice but to settle the score with the girl. He can't produce any evidence that this matter is related to the other party.
And this incident didn't cause much impact, it just made him feel disgusted.
Leosli seriously suspected that it was because of the harsh words he said to Funina when he met her that day that this was a counterattack from the other party.
Women really hold grudges!
Seeing Leosly's unhappy look, Villette spoke calmly.
"I feel like you're more concerned about that afternoon tea."
"Okay, you know me. Apart from fighting, afternoon tea is the only thing I enjoy."
Leosley waved his hands, not wanting to continue recalling this terrible past.
"Anyway, it's not that I don't want to deal with this matter, but I can no longer confirm the authenticity of the intelligence my people brought back."
That Villette was slightly startled.
"How did she do it? She was able to place so many spies around you."
"I want to know too. The ones who betrayed me were all those old people who had been with me for several years."
Leosley sighed.
"I don't know who I can trust anymore. Everyone I see looks like a traitor."
The corners of Villette's mouth twitched, and the expression on her face almost couldn't be held.
After recovering a bit, Navilette asked Leosli.
"Has the girl named Emily done anything dangerous so far?"
"No, or I didn't find out."
Leosley shook his head.
"This is what gives me the most headache. I know this person is very dangerous and her power has expanded to a terrifying level, but I just can't take any drastic measures."
At this point, Leosli thought of something and spoke.
"By the way, have you read the letter I sent you some time ago? What are the results of the investigation into Emily?"
"There's nothing unusual."
Then Villette replied that at that time he thought Leosli wanted to throw the trouble to him, but now it seems that Leosli can't even take care of himself.
"But this kind of investigation is meaningless. She is most likely someone who has recovered her past memories, and your people are likely in the same situation."
"That's why their betrayal didn't catch your attention."
Leosley scratched his hair.
"It's really troublesome..."
"It's obvious that living with just one memory is exhausting enough, yet these people still can't forget their past."
"It seems that we Fontaine people are really special. I don't know what happened in the past, but they still can't forget it."
"It even became a little strange. Before this happened, I never doubted those who betrayed me."
Leosley's voice became lower and lower, and finally he suddenly asked Navelette.
"Then Villette, in the end, are those of us who have no memory of the past the outliers?"
"…It seems like you've been under a lot of pressure lately."
Villette had never expected that Leosli would ask him this question, and he was slightly stunned.
"I don't think you would ask me such a question in your normal state."
"Okay, pretend I didn't ask."
Leosley spread his hands.
"Now let's get back to the topic. How should we deal with the matter of the water goddess Funina?"
"How about you try to convince her to go back to the water world?"
Hearing Leosley's suggestion, Villette's body stiffened.
"For some inconvenient reason, Furninna must be very afraid to see me now, and will not listen to me and go back."
"Why is it inconvenient?"
Facing Leosli's inquiring gaze, Villette pretended not to see it.
"If even you can't do anything about it, this situation will be very troublesome."
"Until we find an effective way to deal with it, we can only respond as it comes."
"As the water goddess, Furninna will not be tricked by ordinary conspiracies. She may even have seen through Emily's true face a long time ago. She stayed with her just to explore Emily's secrets. We must also have some faith in the gods of our country."
When he said this, Leosli's mind couldn't help but recall the time when Fernina broke into the Duke's office to borrow a concession voucher from him, and when he took her to visit Melopensky Castle.
To be honest, Funina hid herself so well. If he didn't know that she was the water god of Fontaine, he would definitely treat her as an ordinary girl, well, the kind that hadn't grown up yet.
Being able to play the role of a wise man appearing foolish to such an extent, one has to say that he is truly worthy of the name of a god.
"I just keep playing passive defense. It's totally not my style. It's really troublesome."
After hearing what Leosley said, Villette did not feel at ease.
After spending so much time with Funina, he really felt that she was not pretending at all.
The phrase "great wisdom appears foolish" probably only accounts for one part of the phrase, "foolish", which does not make him worry-free at all.
But what Leosli said was right. At this stage, they simply couldn't find any flaws in the girl. If they were not prepared to use strong means to break the situation, they could only respond as she moved.
"Then I'll trouble you to take care of this."
"You know I can't be away for long."
"Of course I know. You are a very busy man."
"Now, in such a chaotic environment, Fontaine is still able to do its best to ensure the normal life of the people. This is all thanks to you."
Leosley said with a smile, he still admired Villette's ability.
"It's mainly because that mysterious force hasn't taken any major action, otherwise the situation in Fontaine would be countless times worse than it is now."
Leosley nodded, that what Villette said was indeed true.
When No. 6 did evil things before, he had no good way to deal with it, otherwise he would never stand idly by.
Compared to that time, now both the newly emerged Cult of God No. 6 and the series of actions taken by the girl can only be regarded as minor incidents.
What's more, they are not absolutely sure that the girl belongs to that mysterious force. Maybe the girl is the third force after awakening her past memories.
After all, the other party has not caused any particularly bad incidents until now, which is not in line with the style of that mysterious force.
If the girl really does not belong to that mysterious force, if necessary, perhaps a cooperative relationship may emerge between them.
Of course, there is also the possibility that the girl's plan is too big and now is just the calm before the storm, but without evidence, this is ultimately just a guess.
It is also based on these considerations that Leosley and Navilette both feel a little restrained.
"Then I'll go back first."
Navilette nodded to Leosley, then turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Leosley.
"Why, now that you're here, why don't you go see Sigwen?"
That Villette paused for a moment, then asked.
"How's Sigwen doing lately?"
"It's OK. She's free. Everyone in Mello Petersburg is very friendly to her."
"You know, after all, she is a nurse in Melo Petersburg. Normally, no one would dare to offend her."
After hearing what Leosley said, Navilet nodded and continued walking towards the door.
"It's enough to know that she is doing well. I believe you."
Looking at Villette's receding figure, Leosli smiled helplessly.
