Chapter 120 Accusing Fernina of Not Being a Water Goddess
[Charlotte: Hehe, I didn’t expect that I would read the message I wrote in the video. ]
At this time, Villette's voice sounded, and it was obvious that the court was about to begin.
Navilette: Now that both parties are in place, the trial begins...
Furninna: There is no need to repeat those tedious opening remarks. Villette, please fast forward to the part where the charges are read out. As the person being tried, the protagonist today, I am still not sure what you are going to judge me for. Let me make it clear first that it is correct that mortals cannot understand the actions of gods, but this is not a reason to convict gods...
Obviously our cute little Funina is ready to block the next attack.
Sora: That's right, but the reason for judging you is not because of what you did or didn't do as a god... The reason for judging you is that you are not a god at all, Furninna.
The traveler's words shocked the audience sitting below again.
Shocked audience: Wait...what? Lady Funina isn't a god?
Confused audience: Hey... I thought you were just accusing the water god of malfeasance, but the accusation just now... are you serious?
Navrette: The charges are valid. Ms. Funina, do you admit the charges made by the prosecution?
Funina:......
Funina is a little panicked now. She didn't expect that they would accuse her of this. Although she is really not the water god, she cannot tell this to anyone, otherwise she may not be able to save the people of Fontaine!
Seeing that Fernina was standing there with her head down and saying nothing, Violet had no choice but to remind her.
That Villette: Lady Funina?
Finina knew that she could not reveal the fact that she was not the water god no matter what, so she could only deny it.
Funina: ...I don't admit it, of course I don't admit it. I, Funina de Fontaine, one of the seven rulers of the earth, "Queen of waters, directions, peoples and laws"...I am undoubtedly a true god.
Audience: Yes... Lady Furninna may have a strange personality, but it's a bit far-fetched to say she's not a god...
Questioning audience: I don’t think I have ever doubted this. At most I just complained that she was not doing her job. Why would the accuser say that?
Everyone in the audience didn't believe that the traveler's accusation was correct. After all, Funina had lived in Fontaine as a god for hundreds of years, so how could there be such an outrageous accusation?
Funina: I think the audience here have sharp eyes. Many people have regarded the fact that I am a god as common sense since birth, and they will support me.
And based on the emotional expressions of the audience, the balance of the oracle also tilted towards Funina.
Furninna: Look, even the Oracle is leaning towards me as a matter of course. Are you sure you want to make such a defense that has no chance of winning? If you withdraw the lawsuit now, I will promise in the name of the God of Justice that I will not pursue the charges against you for your false accusation and just regard everything today as a farce that people like to see. How about that?
In fact, Fu Fu really hopes that Kong will withdraw the lawsuit now. After all, the longer the trial goes on, the greater the risk of her identity being exposed.
[Kong: Oh~ If I had known earlier, I should have listened to Funina's decision to withdraw the lawsuit. ]
[Funina: Hmm~, but the ending is perfect.]
Navia, who was sitting in the audience, listening to the conversations of the audience around her, knew that it would be difficult to refute Funina!
Navia: A one-sided argument from the beginning? Not only to refute Funina, but also to shake the "common sense" of the people of Fontaine...
Sora: People think you are a god...
Sora was thinking about how to refute Funina when he said this.
Funina on the opposite side also saw that Kong was not going to withdraw the lawsuit, so she started asking questions.
Funina: Well, persuading me to surrender is ineffective. So I want to ask, if I am not a god, then what do you think I should be? I have been on the throne of god for 500 years, how did I sustain this life of at least 500 years?
Funina quickly grasped the key point. If they couldn't provide strong evidence of how the person had survived for so long, then they could basically declare victory.
Sora: (Think carefully... the special things about Furninna are known...)
Suddenly he remembered that the servant had ambushed Fonina. At that time, Fonina had no abilities and was just like an ordinary person, plus the information he got from chatting with the servant.
Just as Kong was still thinking about what the servant said, before Kong could answer, Paimon next to him started talking.
Paimon: First of all, you may be another "immortal species" with a long lifespan. Even if not, there should be other ways to extend your lifespan...
Sora: For example... "Curse"?
After hearing what the traveler said, Funina knew that the Mushroom Eye that attacked her at that time told them. The Mushroom Eye must have discovered something on her body, and it was finally guessed by Kong.
Although Kong guessed correctly, our Fu Fu has been performing dramas for five hundred years. How could she lose her composure just because of Kong's words?
Furnin: Tsk... Who told you that? Was it that "servant"? To slander me, you even brought up the Fatui's executive officer's words?
Kong didn't care what Funina said, as long as it was a useful clue.
Sora: What matters is what the truth is.
After hearing what Kong said, Villette murmured softly. He used to think that the aura emitted by gods was similar to a curse, but it seems that is not the case.
Villette: Curse... I thought the aura emanating from the gods was originally similar to a curse. Now it seems that it has nothing to do with the gods, is it just a simple "curse"?
[Qingque: What? There is such a curse? Are you sure it's not a good ability?]
[(Starry Sky Railway) Li Sushang: Huh? How is that possible? We all know that Fu Nina is an ordinary person now, so this curse will have the same bad effects on us Xianzhou people! Hum, what do you think, am I awesome? ]
[Vielight: If you mean side effects, there are some.]
[(Starry Sky Railway) Li Sushang: Look, look, I told you, this curse will definitely have the same side effects as us Xianzhou people.]
【Gui Naifen: Wow~ Shang Shang is awesome! 】
[Navilette: No, I think you may be wrong. The curse she suffered is actually not a side effect. The curse will only be lifted after the person who cursed her dies, and she will have the same lifespan as ordinary people.]
