Why are you putting a accusation on me? I am the one who is wronged! Woohoo.
No - everyone around has seen it, we can't go on like this, otherwise...
"Ahem, I am the God of Water, of course I won't be petty, not to mention I am the God of Justice, how could I possibly do something unjust? My people! What just happened was just a test for you, you passed it!"
With exaggerated movements, Furninda raised her arms, her face full of enthusiasm.
The people who came to watch were all amazed.
"As expected of Lady Funina, how could she take her anger out on others just because she's angry?"
"Hey, look at what you said. Our Lord God is quite tolerant. How could he get angry easily?"
"Indeed, unless you commit a serious crime like 'stealing Lady Funina's dessert', I really want to imagine how Lady Funina, who is always as kind as a mascot, would be angry."
There are so many discussions.
Jiang Qiao calmly watched all this, as well as the blue and white girl who was performing hard in front of the crowd, and said:
"You go in first, I want to talk to this lady."
"Eh--?"
Fu Nina was stunned, and then said hesitantly: "Okay, then come in quickly."
Although performing in front of the public has long been a common thing for her.
But the long period of performance had already made the girl feel "disgusted" with this mission.
She just had to do it.
And if it can be avoided as much as possible, it will undoubtedly be a relief.
"Ah."
Surrounded by the guards, Funina left.
Although the crowd was somewhat curious about the identity of the man who was talking to their own water god, a wonderful show was about to begin in the theater, and they were obviously too lazy to watch a stranger here.
"Hello, hello, I am Navia Kasapa, the president of the Thorn Rose Society!"
After Funina left, Navia's expression was obviously much more relaxed. She stretched out her hand with a smile and shook hands with Jiang Qiao.
Although for some reason she was not very fond of power, and had certain opinions about the water god, and even the almighty Fontaine - because the water god's absurd style had no deterrent effect on her.
But Funina is still the goddess of Fontaine after all. No matter how funny she is, her mere presence will still make many people feel stressed.
This does not come from temperament, but simply from status, especially in Fontaine, a land modeled after France.
The aristocracy is hidden in the invisible.
Navia, who looked full of energy and was accentuated by her deep eye shadow, said with pride:
"Hehe, you guys probably haven't heard of the Thorn Rose Society, right?"
"Mediating disputes, providing protection, solving problems... a comprehensive and all-round civilian group - [The Thorn Rose Society]!"
"Isn't that the mafia?" Fairy Ellie tilted her head.
As the continuation of Le Tu Ai Li - she is not as innocent as she seems. At least she has basically everything that Le Tu Ai Li has. The only difference is that her way of thinking is based on the childhood part of Alicia.
For Ai Li, who has traveled all over the world, gangs are not unfamiliar.
Navia choked when she heard this. She said loudly, somewhat embarrassedly but seriously:
"Well, that's true... but we are legal! We are fundamentally different from those evildoers who bring disaster to others!"
"Oh, it's a good gangster."
"Although there's nothing wrong with saying this... However, the Thorn Rose Society is the Thorn Rose Society..." Navia corrected persistently.
This is the truth, but it really doesn't deserve such a title.
After all, no matter how nicely you put it, isn’t a good gangster still a gangster?
"Forget it, let's not dwell on it for now." Looking at the innocent fairy Ai Li, Navia shook her head with some joy and helplessness, and then set her sights on Jiang Qiao:
"Sir! I am very interested in what you just said."
She is not the type of person who likes to go around in circles. Although the word "carefree" and "young lady" may make people feel a little uncomfortable when they appear at the same time, Navia, who comes from a gangster background, is obviously not a proper young lady.
"To be honest, there has been a trend of 'serial disappearances of young girls' in the Fontaine area, and it happens that the young lady has some grievances with this case that need to be settled, so..." The older man guarding Navia, Miles, who was wearing a black hat and suit, was quite serious.
"There has been no clues in Fontaine about this case. If you know something, the Thorn Rose Society is willing to provide a sufficiently generous reward." Another guard, Silver, was very serious.
"Even life?"
Jiang Qiao looked at the three of them with a smile.
After hearing this, Myles and Silver became a little alert and hesitant, but they stood in front of Navia tacitly.
——They are not afraid of death...Oh, it is a bit unfair to say this, but at least in their hearts, there are things more important than life.
That is the eldest lady entrusted to them by the master!
It didn't matter what problems they had, but if anything happened to Miss Navia, even if Master Cares forgave them in the underworld, they would not be able to forgive themselves.
But the next moment, Navia, who was blocked behind, pushed the two away, glanced at them with some dissatisfaction, and then faced Jiang Qiao firmly:
"Even life."
"Miss!" Silver and Myles shouted.
"Okay, I'm the president of the Thorn Rose Society! How can I be inferior to my own guards?"
"Mr. Jiang Qiao, if you really know something, you don't have to hesitate to tell me directly."
"Even if it costs me my life, I will never let my father die in such an unclear way!"
The girl's pretty face was filled with an extremely firm determination - as if nothing could stop her.
If I refuse, I might get pestered later, right?
Although she didn't have a comprehensive understanding of Sister Huang Dou, it didn't stop Jiang Qiao from making such a judgment.
Of course - the premise is rejection.
And why would he refuse?
No matter from which angle, Jiang Qiao obviously had no reason or need to hide anything for a mouse hiding in the dark.
So he smiled, and just as he was about to speak, he realized something.
"If you want to know something, why don't you ask your guards first?"
"Maybe they know something."
Having said this, Jiang Qiao chuckled, patted Miles on the shoulder, and then walked towards the Opikley Opera House.
"Of course, I don't mind you asking now, after all..."
"If Mr. Mouse knew about this, he would be extremely anxious and desperate."
When Navia stood there in a daze, somewhat confused, and wanted to catch up to ask what it meant.
A very kind and familiar voice came from behind:
"Haha, Navia, you are here too?"
Navia smiled slightly when she saw him coming - Uncle Marcelle was the president of the Gabriel Chamber of Commerce. He had been on good terms with her father, Carles, since their time together. He also took good care of her. Apart from Miles and Silver, he was probably one of the people closest to her.
"Who was that young man just now? I saw him from a long distance away. He was really a handsome guy."
"A friend I just met."
"Hello my friend, hello my friend. You are already quite old now. In a few years, it is time for you to think about the important things in your life..."
"Eh--?"
Upon hearing this, Sister Huang Dou blushed instantly - although she looked carefree, she was actually quite clueless in this area.
Both Cares, Myles and Silver, the two bodyguards, took very good care of her.
This topic suddenly popped up... Wow.
"Ahem, I'm still young, and there are so many things to do in the Thorn Rose Society. There's no need to rush." Navia said so, and then she was a little curious: "By the way, Uncle Marcelle, how do you have time to come here?"
Although the Opiclay Opera House is very popular in Fontaine, people who usually come here are more casual, and the cases in the Opiclay Opera House are not often big cases. As the president of the Cabrière Chamber of Commerce, it should be his busiest time during this prosperous time.
How could I have time to go to Ilaye Island?
"Haha, I just happened to have a business on Ilaye Island, so I came to take a look when I had some free time. I heard that this trial was presided over by Lord Villette, it would be a pity if I didn't take a look."
"It's you, kid, who is really not doing your job properly, right?" Marcelle laughed and teased the former.
Navia was a little embarrassed.
That's true - she is indeed not doing her job properly.
The Gabriel Chamber of Commerce is fine, as it has business throughout Fontaineland, but the service area of the Thorn Rose Society is limited to the lower level and Baisong Town. If things were normal, she should be working at the Thorn Rose Society headquarters.
I don't have time to come here to watch the trial.
But there is nothing we can do about it.
Who said this trial is related to the "serial disappearance of young girls case"?
In order to find out the cause of her father's death and wash away the shameful name of "Unjust Carles", Navia obviously cannot miss this important clue that may appear.
Chapter 241: The Water God Should Be Like This
"Huh, you're finally here, come here quickly!"
Inside the magnificent Opicle Opera House, one could see many audience members already seated. When Funina, who was waiting in front of the side door, saw Jiang Qiao and the fairy Ellie, she waved her hands and called out softly.
"Ah."
"What did you talk about with the eldest lady of the Rose Thorn Society?" Funina asked in a low voice with great curiosity.
When Jiang Qiao saw this look, he looked at the former with a half-smile:
"very curious?"
"How is it possible... cough, okay, I admit that it is a little bit..." Finina wanted to deny it, but when she met those eyes that seemed to be able to see through her underwear, she coughed twice, and then muttered weakly:
"Really? Please give me some face..."
Weakness is the characteristic of this 'acting water god' lady. Of course - in terms of her role as 'water god', it is also an absolute shortcoming. Every time this happens, it always arouses suspicion from others. Fortunately, Funina always uses exaggerated and dramatic performances to make up for it afterwards.
Of course she knew about her problem, but there was nothing she could do about it.
The title of Water Goddess put too much pressure on Funina. Although it looked bright and beautiful on the surface, it was like a pressure valve in secret. The long-term torment made this strong yet fragile girl unable to control herself.
It is difficult to control tears and suppress one's weak nature, and it even becomes more difficult to control oneself as time goes by.
Perhaps only when she is around people with whom she has a competitive relationship can she show this hidden side of herself.
But in such a huge Fontaine, the only one who could really do this might be Villette... No, even Villette couldn't do it.
It's just because of its unique characteristics that makes Furninna more or less relaxed.
However, she did not have such concerns when facing Jiang Qiao. Knowing that the other party knew her background, after getting over the initial panic, Funina now seemed to be treating Jiang as a trash can where she could not confide in anyone.
After all - since you know so much and say such things, don't blame me for being rude, Fu Fu!
"It's not a big deal. There will probably be a very exciting show next."
Hearing this, Funina was a little excited.
"Big show? What big show!"
She hated playing someone else, but was quite interested in watching plays, especially dramas and farces. As long as she wasn't asked to make up for something afterwards, Furninna would have no trouble watching them.
In a sense, the reason she was able to last this long was more or less because this opera house provided her with sufficient spiritual nourishment for these five hundred years of life.
"Oh, someone is coming. He looks like a very cold old man."
"Really? Stop interrupting me...Oh, Villette, you're here." After being interrupted, Finina's cheeks puffed up a little. She glanced at the fairy Ellie with some dissatisfaction, and then she noticed the tall figure coming in from the side. She showed an understanding expression and took the initiative to greet him.
He was still dressed like a medieval noble, with silver hair dyed blue and wearing a gorgeous suit, leaning on a cane, and walking towards here with an expressionless face.
"Let me introduce you to Villette, our Supreme Judge of Fontaine."
"Hello, who are these two?" Villette looked very cold, but quite polite. His eyes fell on Jiang Qiao and the fairy Ai Li, feeling a little confused and... curious.
A human...but it always feels a little strange. As for the little one, although Teyvat is not short of creatures of this size, and most of them can even change their form because of their ability to change shape, the fairy Ellie is indeed a little novel in Navilette's eyes.
