Chapter 122 Collection
"I'm sorry, girl. I was wrong... Actually, I didn't make it. I bought the semi-finished product. I only applied the cream..."
Faced with Nashida's suspicious gaze, Liu Bai could only confess weakly.
"Then why are there two pieces of cake missing?"
"Because, because I was afraid it wouldn't taste good, I tried two pieces. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare give it to you."
"Is that so? Then I feel relieved. Let me try it and see how it tastes~"
Only then did Nashida feel a little relieved and tasted the cake that Liu Bai brought back.
"Oh, by the way, girl, I seem to have learned to control the element of lightning when I was squeezing the cream just now... but I can't use it anymore after squeezing the cream."
Looking at Nashida happily tasting the cake, Liu Bai said weakly again.
……
Over the next few days, Nashida studied the laws of Fontaine in preparation for any emergency.
However, studying alone could not satisfy her. After basically memorizing all the laws of Fontaine, she was eager to put them into practice, so she began to take the initiative to contact defendants who needed a not guilty defense.
Unfortunately, when these people saw that Nashida looked like a child, they were afraid to entrust their future to her, so they rejected Nashida's free defense of innocence.
However, there is a solution. A few days ago, there were inevitable conflicts when the Northland Bank was collecting debts, and the debt handlers who were slower were detained by the special training team and the security team.
As the wife of the executive officer, Nashida successfully persuaded the detained debt collector to agree to help her defend his innocence.
"quiet."
"Next, please welcome the defendant, Boris."
"And his advocate, Lady Nashida of Xumi."
At the Opicolai Opera House, as the Supreme Judge Navillaette finished speaking, Nashida slowly walked up to the dock, and the Fatui named Boris followed respectfully behind her.
"Uh, that little girl looks familiar..."
"I think I've seen it in the newspaper?"
“…That seems to be the grass god of Xumi!”
As Nashida walked up to the dock as a defense attorney, the audience in the Opikle Opera House quickly recognized her and exclaimed in surprise.
'is her? '
Furninna, who was sitting in the highest VIP seat, stood up subconsciously and looked in the direction of Nashida.
Nashida noticed her gaze, raised her hand and greeted her with a smile.
"quiet!"
Seeing that the scene was a bit noisy, the Supreme Inquisitor Navilette immediately maintained order.
In this way, the trial on whether the defendant committed malicious injury while collecting debts officially began.
The trial did not last long, and soon Nashida won the case without any suspense.
……
Compared to Nashida who was familiarizing herself with the Fontaine Law, Liu Bai was still busy with other things.
First, there is the information coming from Hearth House.
It was a case that completely matched Liu Bai's description of the murder of adoptive parents. The criminal was now named Leosli, was awarded the title of Duke, and was currently the lord of Melo Petersburg.
After he killed his adoptive parents, he let all the children go. Some helpless children, like Liu Bai, wandered on the streets of Fontaine for a while.
But Liu Bai couldn't confirm it unless he found the guy named Leosley and asked him clearly.
But Melo Petersburg is Fontaine's prison, and it operates independently of Fontaine's judicial system. Liu Bai has no good way to get in, and he doesn't even know where the place is.
"Well...if all else fails, find a chance to snatch Fufu's cake."
Liu Bai muttered softly.
Boom, boom, boom!
Just at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of the room.
Liu Bai opened the door and saw that it was the bank's account manager.
"Mr. Executive, a guest just asked me to give you this box, saying that he wants to cooperate with you."
The account manager respectfully handed the box in his hand to Liu Bai.
"Cooperation? What's there to cooperate with? I don't care..."
Liu Bai muttered something and took the box from the account manager.
After he left, Liu Bai returned to the house and opened the box.
Inside were several bottles of something that looked somewhat like Fengda drinks, and a letter.
"Oh, so it's a sales pitch..."
Liu Bai muttered something, then picked up the letter.
'Hello, dear executive officer. The reputation of the Northland Bank has risen recently. We have seen the executive officer's tactics. You are a powerful person who deserves cooperation.'
'We have a batch of products with profits that are definitely beyond your imagination. Although only people in Fontaine will buy these products, you will understand their value after you find someone to try them yourself.'
"If you are interested in cooperation, you can come to the following location for discussion.'
Below this paper was a crudely drawn field map with the location marked as the northern shore outside Fontaine.
"...Really? Really cooperating? I don't understand..."
Looking at the contents of the letter, Liu Bai scratched his head in confusion.
This was his first time to come into contact with business matters.
Forget it, let’s take a look at what these products are…
"Is it a drink similar to Fengda?"
Liu Bai picked up the bottle from the box in confusion.
These days, while eating and drinking in Fontaine, Fengda was naturally unavoidable. Liu Bai was very familiar with this name. After tasting it, he found that it was a carbonated drink. As a time traveler, he fell in love with the taste at once.
So Liu Bai opened the bottle in his hand and took a sip, and found that it tasted salty.
"This doesn't taste good either... Do the people of Fontaine like this taste?"
Liu Bai muttered in confusion while drinking and looking at the envelope in his hand.
After thinking for a while, he decided to do as the letter said and call a Fontaine man to give it a try.
The House of Hearth has trained many elites for the Fatui, so among the debt handlers transferred to Winter Solstice, there is also a person named "Shenetswich".
After questioning and confirming that the other party was from Fontainebleau, Liu Bai gave him the drinks in the box.
Although he was wondering what the strangely colored liquid was, he did not refuse the executive officer's order and directly opened the bottle and drank the liquid inside.
"Report to the executive officer... This thing tastes salty, like... burp... oh wow... dear, you are really awesome today..."
After drinking the liquid in the bottle, the other party reported to Liu Bai, but halfway through his words he suddenly behaved a little strangely, as if he had hallucinations, and looked very excited.
"..."
Seeing the other person's hand reaching towards him, Liu Bai couldn't help but knock him down with a punch.
Based on this person's reaction, Liu Bai roughly understood the function of the liquid in the box.
It makes people excited and happy, and even produces hallucinations that they cannot extricate themselves from. If it is addictive, then isn’t this...
"tmd!"
"All soldiers! Assemble!"
At the call of the executive officer, all the Fatui soldiers in the entire Fontainebleau, except for those who had other orders to execute, gathered outside the Court of Fontainebleau.
"All soldiers, stand at attention!"
"Listen carefully. From today on, I have a difficult task for you."
"Did you see what's in the box? This is an illegal drug that can make people excited and have hallucinations."
"Now I demand that you thoroughly investigate the source of these drugs in Fontaine and find the main culprit!"
"Also, soldiers from the elite troops, line up at the front."
"Okay, from today on, you will be the main members of the drug enforcement team. Accompany me to meet the other party on the north shore of Fontaine later."
"Remember, no one can escape. They must be taken alive."
Standing in front of tens of thousands of Fatui soldiers, Liu Bai gave orders solemnly.
The power he unconsciously released was so overwhelming that no soldier dared to question his orders.
"Yes, sir! Executive officer!"
As Liu Bai finished speaking, his aura weakened, and these frightened fool soldiers dared to respond.
