Arlecchino certainly hadn't expected that Charlotte's clue would be this.
This clue made her a little confused, as most of her previous inferences could be shaken by this clue.
Transfer of consciousness?
Maybe her guess was wrong. It was impossible for the other party to transfer his consciousness back and forth across Fontaine in such a short period of time.
Regardless of whether there is any point in doing this, the fact that the other party is able to do this means that his methods are almost no different from those of a god.
However, during the contact, Alechino could sense that there was no divinity.
"Things are getting interesting."
Arlecino seemed to sigh, then looked at Charlotte.
"I will promptly communicate these findings of Miss Charlotte's to Linny and Linnet."
"I have something else to do, so I'll excuse you now."
After saying goodbye to Charlotte, Alecino hurried away. She had an idea that she wanted to verify.
Charlotte was a little confused as she watched Alechino leave.
No, she seemed to be the guest. Why did the host leave in a hurry than her, the guest?
Could it be that the other party discovered something?
……
On the other hand, seeing the ultimatum jointly signed by the nobles, Villette felt even worse.
Among the names that signed, there are many nobles who are highly respected and have a good reputation among the people.
Originally these nobles were his strong supporters, but now they turned their guns against him.
As for the reason, Villette understood it.
At first, the reason these nobles supported him was to overthrow the original aristocratic power in order to divide up the vacant power. Later, they made countless enemies and could only be tied to the same warship with him.
But when their own lives were threatened, they completely revealed their selfish faces as aristocrats.
In fact, Villette only brought out most of the [Shadow-chasing Court] personnel. The ones left behind in Fontaine were the entire security team, the entire [Court of Law Enforcement], and a part of the [Shadow-chasing Court] personnel.
But even so, they were still afraid, afraid of being chosen as the next target by the murderer, afraid of dying in obscurity before they could enjoy all the glory and wealth.
In their eyes, their own safety is above all else. Even if they have to humble themselves and unite with their former political enemies, they must let him take these people from the Shadow Chasing Court back.
Some people have more helpless reasons, as they all have precious daughters.
Whatever the reason was, Villette understood it, but no one could understand the regret in his heart.
Four hundred years ago, in order to protect the majority of innocent people, Meilushin chose to commit suicide to calm the situation. Four hundred years later, will he let the "Shadow Chaser" return to Fontaine and let this history repeat itself?
But does he have a choice?
Villette sighed heavily again. He had not forgotten what happened four hundred years ago. Until today, those scenes often appeared in his mind, whether it was the innocence and kindness of Melusine named Carolee, or Watling who stood on the accused seat and roared and cursed at him.
"Then Master Villette..."
The shouts from the side brought Villette out of her memories.
"Then Master Villette, are you okay?"
"The rain was originally much lighter, but now it's getting heavier for some reason. Even if Lord Villette is handling a case, he must take precautions against the rain."
Hearing the other party's advice, Villette shook his head.
"It doesn't matter to me."
"As for you guys, you must be very tired after being busy for so long."
"No, no, no, it's Master Villette who has worked hard!"
The Meilushin waved her hands quickly and spoke.
"Lord Villette is very busy, and now he is investigating this case himself. I see that you haven't slept for several days. If this continues, Lord Villette's body will not be able to bear it."
However, in response to the other party's advice, Villette did not answer directly, but looked at her and spoke.
"Go back and rest."
"The investigation of Baisong Town ends here. Let's go back to Fontaine to rest for a while, and then get down to the next task."
After hearing what Villette said, the other party didn't quite understand. He looked at Villette and seemed to be hesitant to speak, but finally replied.
"Yes, then, Master Villette."

Chapter 24: Give Navilette More Strength
The [Shadow Chaser] evacuated, but Villette did not leave.
Of course, this doesn't matter. For those nobles, it is enough to have the [Shadow Chaser Court] to protect them, so they can't rely on Villette.
The other party's methods suddenly became so extreme. It was obvious that they were about to reap rewards in Baisong Town. It seemed that this method of opening up underground tunnels at certain distances was very effective.
But now with the withdrawal of [Zhuyingting] and the lifting of the blockade of Baisong Town, it is basically impossible for the remaining manpower to find the other party.
That Villette stood alone in the heavy rain, looking a little dazed.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the distance and walked towards Villette.
At first, Villette didn't pay attention, but as the other party got closer, he turned his eyes to the other party.
He was an ordinary-looking man in his thirties, wearing very old clothes and with a weathered look on his face.
The other person was the type who was very ordinary and could be completely lost in a crowd, but the fact that he appeared in this place in the heavy rain was very unusual.
What's more, the other party had a clear goal and was walking straight towards Villette.
That Villette just looked at the other person deeply, and then did not make any move, waiting for the other person to approach.
"Sir Navilette, the Supreme Inquisitor."
"I want charges brought against a person."
When the man came to Navelette, he stated his purpose straight away.
In response, Villette simply looked very calmly at the man who remained unusually calm in the heavy rain, and spoke.
"Sir, you can state the person you want to accuse. If the situation is true, I will conduct a trial for him or her depending on the circumstances."
"That Villette."
"That's the name of the man I wish to accuse."
This sentence completely exposed the other party's naked malice, but Villette was only slightly surprised after hearing it, but soon regained his composure.
"Excuse me, sir, what crime do you want to accuse Villette of?"
"Toying with the Fontaine Law and adding one's own selfish desires to the law, such as the provision that Melusin must be referred to as 'she', which implies a feminine meaning... Is that enough?"
After listening to the other party's words, Villette was silent for a while, then nodded.
"The charges are proven. You can attend the trial at noon two days later at the Opiclay Opera House. Please do not be absent unless there are special circumstances."
"Due to the special status of the accused, there may be a situation where multiple judges jointly preside over the trial..."
"Hahahahaha!"
The man suddenly burst into laughter, interrupting Villette's next words.
"My stomach almost hurts from laughing!"
"Then Lord Villette, you are truly fair and selfless, and you abide by the rules!"
Even in this situation, there was still no expression on Villette's face. She just looked at the man in front of her quietly.
After a while, the laughter died down, and the man spoke to Villette with an evil look on his face.
"But you are even more disgusting to me now."
"Judge everything from above everything?"
"Then Lord Villette, what kind of being do you think you are?"
After hearing the other party's words, Villette's expression did not change, he just spoke lightly.
“No one can please everyone, especially me.”
"It took me four hundred years to get most people to accept my existence."
"I have no intention of being above everything, but what I represent now is the justice and law of Fontaine."
"Tsk, tsk."
"Then Lord Villette is indeed worthy of being the Supreme Judge. It seems that I can't argue with you."
"But I'm a little curious. Now that everyone from the Shadow Chaser Court has left, why are you still here, Lord Villette?"
Seeing the playful look in the man's eyes, Villette chose not to continue to beat around the bush with him and spoke directly.
"What are your conditions?"
"Haha, Lord Villette is really anxious... The conditions are very simple."
"Release Marcelle immediately and send him to the location we designate."
After hearing the man's words, Villette thought for a moment and then spoke.
"I can't decide this matter alone. I need to discuss it with others."
Villette's words made the man laugh and mock him again.
"Hahahaha, then Lord Villette, it's already this time and you still want to abide by your own rules?"
"It seems that in your eyes, two human lives are not as important as those so-called justice and rules."
"It's okay to discuss it, but you have to do it as soon as possible, otherwise we can't guarantee the lives of the hostages."
Faced with the other party's naked threat, Villette just spoke.
"Now, immediately stop your actions within Fontaine and do not increase the number of missing victims."
"Haha, then Lord Villette."
"Transactions require give and take."
"The previous deal was limited to us letting those two people go."
The man waved his hand and then continued.
"As for this matter, that's another price."
"What do you want?"
Navilette asked. Regardless of whether he could accept the other party's conditions or not, he could guess the other party's purpose through his words.
"Then Lord Villette is a straightforward man."
"In fact, our conditions are very simple. You just need to hand over the lady who fought with our No. 2 master that day to us."
After hearing the other party's words, Villette's eyes turned cold, but the other party seemed to be completely unaware and continued speaking.
"It's a good deal, isn't it? One person for hundreds or thousands of people. There is no better deal in the world than this!"
The hand holding the crutch of Villette continued to increase in strength, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart, but soon the strength in his hand gradually weakened.
"I can't possibly agree to this condition."
