Chapter 524 Clolinde
For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely tense, with people whispering and talking to each other.
The situation has now evolved to the point where the dignified water goddess Funina actually made racist remarks in public!
You have to know that this is Fontaine, a country where "justice" is the foundation of its country.
If this matter continues to ferment, the consequences will be unimaginable.
At the very least, Furninna could not leave the house, at worst, Melo would have to sit in a private room in Petersburg.
Just as the scene was becoming increasingly chaotic, a cold and dignified beauty came out and began to maintain order.
She had long black hair with a slightly bluish tint, especially the long bangs that made her look elegant and charming.
His eyes were as bright as deep violet gems, making it difficult to look directly at them.
The blue side-brimmed hat on her head added a sense of mystery and nobility to her, and a snow-white feather decorated one side of the hat.
Her hair was tied into a low ponytail with a delicate black bow.
Under the towering stand-up collar, she wore a dark purple-blue tie, which contrasted beautifully with her fair skin.
Looking at her attire, a snow-white shirt wrapped around her graceful figure, while her back was covered with multiple layers of overlapping dark blue and black cloaks.
Her waist is tightly tied with a black belt that looks like a corset, which not only highlights her slim waist, but also adds a touch of neatness and efficiency to her whole person.
She wore a short black skirt that perfectly showed off her long and straight legs.
Her hands were covered in long white gloves that extended all the way to her upper arms.
Her legs were tightly wrapped in black pantyhose, and she had black leg rings on her thighs.
Finally, she wore a pair of high-heeled boots with a black base and white edges. The heels were made of sturdy and durable metal material, which made a crisp and pleasant sound when she walked.
This outfit, which is mainly black with blue and purple elements, perfectly sets off her cool and noble temperament.
When she said "Silence, silence!", her voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable majesty.
Everyone present turned their eyes to the tall, slender woman with a stern and indifferent face. They stopped talking for a moment and the whole scene fell silent.
Then, this cold and majestic woman slowly walked in front of Shao Yun and said calmly: "Hello, visitor from afar."
"I understand how you feel, but offending God is not something to be praised or boasted about. Let's all calm down and not be impulsive."
Shao Yun looked the other person up and down carefully and asked, "Out of courtesy, please introduce yourself first."
Upon hearing this, Clorinde performed a standard Fontaine etiquette towards Shao Yun. She clenched her right hand into a fist and gently placed it on her chest. Then she said slowly, "I am Clorinde, Fontaine's duel agent."
Upon seeing this, Shao Yun took off his hat, performed a hat-dodging salute, and casually gave a "pseudonym".
"Tacitus Kilgore, a nobody."
After both parties showed their most polite side, the atmosphere eased a little, and then they naturally moved on to the next stage.
At this time, Shao Yun took the lead and said, "Regarding the matter of offending the gods you just mentioned, I must solemnly remind you that Paimeng is my daughter. Your master offended us first. She was the one who started it!"
After hearing this, Clorinde frowned slightly and thought for a moment. She was a reasonable person and knew that what Shao Yun said made sense.
But adhering to the principle of making big things small and small things nothing, she calmly started the follow-up conversation.
"If you feel that Ms. Funina's words just now have offended you or your family, you can file a complaint at the Opikle Opera House and be tried by Lord Navirat, who will give you a fair explanation."
"Your public yelling like this will not solve the problem. It will only offend the gods! It will not solve the problem."
Just when Shao Yun was about to say to Clorinde, "I just offended the God of Water, what can you do about it?", Yan Fei flashed and quickly came between the two of them.
With a professional smile on her face, she greeted Clorinde, "Hello, Miss Clorinde. I am Yanfei, the legal consultant of Liyue. We can accept mediation for civil disputes over titles like this!"
"I can negotiate with you as a lawyer and get reasonable compensation for my friend."
After saying that, Yan Fei signaled to Shao Yun with her eyes, "Leave everything to me, don't worry."
When Clorinde heard Yan Fei mention the word mediation, her tense heartstrings slowly relaxed.
Some things don't weigh more than 100 grams if you don't weigh them, but when you weigh them, they weigh a thousand pounds.
Moreover, the current situation is obviously quite unfavorable for Funina. If the dispute can be resolved through mediation, it would naturally be the best option.
So, Clorinde nodded slightly, indicating her willingness to accept mediation, and responded: "Since you are willing to help mediate, that's great. Why don't I lead you to Mo Mang Palace to deal with this matter."
"It's not very elegant to argue loudly here, with so many eyes watching us."
Shao Yun was unhappy. You two just touched your lips and that was it?
It's not that simple. I was nice enough just now, but Funina wanted to show off and stepped on the horse's hoof. Don't blame me for being ruthless!
Just as the words suddenly popped up in Shao Yun’s mind at this moment.
"When walking in public, do not disturb others. If someone disturbs you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him!"
Shao Yun stretched out his hand and pulled Yan Fei behind him.
He said bluntly: "No, Yan Fei, I don't need your legal support. The lady in front of me and I are of the same kind. We only recognize the only creed that 'the last person standing is the truth'."
These words were full of gunpowder, almost tantamount to issuing a declaration of war to the other party, making it clear that they wanted to fight to the death.
Just then, Paimon flew over in a hurry.
She had just witnessed with her own eyes that the tension that had finally been calmed down escalate again, and she was extremely anxious.
She flew to Shao Yun and urged him anxiously, "Don't be like this, Shao Yun! We didn't come out here to cause trouble or fight. Didn't you say we were here for a 'vacation'?"
However, Shao Yun only glanced at Funina above him, and then shifted his gaze back to Clorinde in front of him.
His face was frighteningly gloomy, and his tone became unusually unfriendly.
"Paimon, don't try to persuade me. My good mood has been completely ruined by that discriminatory guy up there!
"I've always been like this. If there's any grudge, I'll settle it on the spot. I'll never keep it in my heart!"
Shao Yun is now saying, I can talk to you and negotiate with you. At worst, we can just keep out of each other's way in the future. Even if you don't welcome me, I can just leave.
But, I can’t tolerate that you treat the face I give you as an insole!
Clorinde stared at Shao Yun with wide eyes, wondering if this guy had lost his mind.
He actually chose to resolve the conflict through such an extreme method as a duel, even though it could have been resolved through mediation.
But in a flash, Clorinde changed her mind.
Since Shao Yun insisted on a duel, he was not afraid. Instead, it would save him a lot of trouble.
After all, the current situation is that Funina "discriminated" against Shao Yun's "adopted daughter"; Shao Yun offended the gods.
The most important thing is that Funina was the first to take action. If it really went to trial, there would be no way she would win.
Now, as long as he wins the duel, Furninna's face will be saved.
After all, she is now Finina's bodyguard, and her position requires her to do so.
With the intention of solving the problem as quickly and best as possible, Clorinde asked, "Do you really want to duel with me? If you have made up your mind, then fine, I will accept it."
Hearing this, Shao Yun could not wait to respond: "That's right! Let's have a fair gunner duel!"
When they heard that Shao Yun was going to duel with Clorinde, everyone's eyes, which had been focused on Funina above, all fell on Shao Yun and Clorinde.
This sudden change undoubtedly successfully implemented a strategy of besieging Wei to save Zhao, and everyone's attention was shifted from Funina to the upcoming duel between Shao Yun and Fontaine's strongest duel agent.
At this moment, the many onlookers at the Fontainebleau could no longer contain their excitement and curiosity, and began to whisper and discuss.
One of them shouted in astonishment, "Oh my God, I must have heard it wrong! He actually dared to challenge me to a duel, and his opponent is the famous Clorinde! This is simply courting death!"
Before he finished speaking, another person nearby couldn't wait to echo him: "That's right, but this will make for a wonderful show!"
There was a lot of discussion in the crowd. Some people admired Shao Yun's courage, while others thought he was too reckless.
Many more people are here to watch the fun and are expecting this duel to bring unexpected surprises.
