Chapter 124 The water god’s death sentence!
As Navilette sent a document into the oracle machine, the oracle machine emitted a strong blue light, and finally the document was sent back.
Navilette: Based on the result given by the Cardinal of the Decree, I pronounce the verdict... Hmm?
Navilette picked up the document, opened it, and was about to pronounce the verdict when he noticed the contents and was surprised.
Paimon and Kong saw Villette's surprised expression and knew what was going on.
Paimon: What, what happened? What's the result?
Kong: The result given by the oracle is not guilty?
Navelette: ...No, the result given by the Oracle is equally guilty.
Paimon didn't understand. Playing the role of the water god should be a crime, so why was Villette so surprised just now?
Paimon: Isn't that a problem?
Navilette: But what it says is - "Water God", guilty... death penalty.
Well, after Villette’s verdict, the people in the audience below were shocked beyond belief. After all, no one in Fontaine had ever been actually sentenced to death!
Shocked audience: Death, death, death penalty! ?
Confused audience: Does the death penalty really exist? I always thought it was just a legend!
The audience sighed: The only death sentence in history fell on the head of a person we always thought was a god. How dramatic is this...
[Kiana: That's not right! ]
[Raiden Mei: What's wrong, Kiana? ]
[Kiana: Mei, you see, what they said is wrong. Didn't the video prove that Miss Funina is not the Water God? Then why do they say that the Water God should be sentenced to death? ]
[(Honkai Impact 3) Bronya: Now that you put it that way, if according to the video, Miss Fernina is no longer the Water God, then it should say that Fernina was sentenced to death, not the Water God. If it was the Water God's death, then the Oracle would be equivalent to confirming that Miss Fernina is the Water God. Why does it feel like there is something wrong with this Oracle?]
[Fu Xuan: Hmm~ I remember now, what you said is wrong, remember? They accused Funina of not being a god, but now the Oracle is admitting that Funina is the water god in disguise, or maybe the Oracle did not judge Miss Funina at all.]
[Sora: Hmm~ That's right. The Oracle has not judged Furninna yet. Let's continue reading. The answer is in the back.]
Paimon: Furninna was sentenced to death by the Oracle? We were just trying to scare her into telling the truth... How come she was sentenced to death all of a sudden?
That Villette also felt that the Oracle's decision was inappropriate and felt that there was something fishy about it.
Navrette: This result is indeed a bit strange... According to Fontaine's definition of justice and trial standards so far... Does Funina's crime really match the level of sentencing of the death penalty...
Kong was also thinking about it, while Paimon was puzzled by the verdict. After all, Vash had killed people before and was not sentenced to death.
Paimon: Yes, even Vashie, the culprit of the serial disappearance of girls at that time, was not sentenced to death.
After some thought, Kong also noticed the loophole in Villette's verdict.
Sora: It says "Water Goddess" instead of Funina.
Navilette: Indeed, not only is Fernina not guilty of such a crime, but the theme of this trial is to prove that Fernina is not the water god... Now the result of the oracle deliberately uses the title of "water god", what does this mean?
Just as everyone was thinking about this question, the arrival of a person interrupted them.
Femini: Uh...um...excuse me for interrupting you for a moment...how is your trial going?
Linny, who was originally thinking about this problem, heard Femini's voice and knew that what he was asked to do should be completed.
Linny: Femini! You're finally here. It looks like you've completed your mission.
Femini: Well, the task assigned to me by "Father" must be the top priority.
<Femini, with the help of some Fatui, brings a slab of stone onto the stage...>
When Paimon saw the stone slab, he knew what it was, after all, he had just seen the other three stone slabs.
Paimon: This is... the "Prophecy Tablet"? Could this be the first lost Prophecy Tablet? It turns out that the "servant" secretly arranged for Femini to search for it underwater.
Femini: It took me a long time to finally find it at the bottom of the sea. It also took me a lot of time to avoid dangerous waters... Wait, is your trial over? Then... am I late? Oh no, I'm going to disappoint my "father"...
Femini had been trying to find the stone slab as quickly as possible, but he was a little disappointed that the trial was already over.
Sora: It’s not too late now.
That Villette stepped down from the judge's seat and came onto the stage.
Navilette: Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Femini, please let me see what's on the slate.
Navilette: ...Sora, you have seen the other slabs before, please come and check them out too.
When Paimon and Sora came to the stone slab, Paimon's little brain was not enough as he had no idea what was on it.
Paimon: Hmm? What is this... drawn on it?
Sora: This... seems to be the former water god using his divine power...
Navillette: I think I have understood what the "Sin of the Water God" is. It is about the lost history of Fontaine.
Paimon, the little fool, is still as dumb as ever.
Paimon: Hmm? Isn't the crime of the water god to deceive the people... Oh, no, that's Funina. We have already confirmed that she is not the water god... So the water god you are talking about, is it the real water god of Fontaine?
【Wendy: It seems that the truth will soon be revealed. 】
[Sora: Actually, Wendy already knew this before! ]
[Wendy: Hey! you guess! 】
[Paimon: Humph! Do we need to guess? You keep saying that you are the weakest among the Seven Gods, but you want to know the news faster than anyone else!]
【March 7: Does he have a powerful intelligence organization?】
[Kong: It can be said that as long as there is wind, no matter what it is, the wind will bring it to his ears. Even if it has passed, as long as he wants to know, the wind will bring the news back to him again.]
[(Starry Sky Railway) Li Sushang: Oh my god, so awesome! If you want to know something, then you can just ask the wind!]
[Qingque: Hehe, if I also had this ability, I wouldn't have to worry about being caught by Taibu-sama for slacking off.]
Na Villette: Actually, the contents of these four slate paintings are more or less related to what you experienced after coming to Fontaine. I wonder how much you can understand now.
Sora: The connection between the contents on the slate and real events...
(Hehe, I have written here. Let’s wait until tomorrow. Hehe, my book friends, you are crying and making a fuss because you can’t see Villette’s answer. So pitiful!)
