Chapter 535 A Belated Warning
Faced with such a tough and resolute attitude of Furninna, Villette did not show any intention of condoning her.
Instead, he decided to take more drastic measures to force Funina to face the problem.
"At this point, if you, Ms. Funina, are still stubborn and refuse to listen to my advice, then when the other party takes you to court for racial discrimination, I, as the highest judge, will have no choice but to enforce the law impartially..."
"Even if they didn't have the help of the legal consultant 'Yan Fei' from Liyue, the Cardinal of the Oracle would have found you guilty, and you would have ended up in Melo Petersburg."
When she heard that even Villette said that she had to enter Melro Petersburg, Furnin panicked again and stammered, "Ah... Can't you think of some other way?"
After saying this, Furninna seemed to suddenly think of something, her eyes suddenly lit up, and a sly smile appeared on her face.
Then she asked Navrette with a smile: "For example, dear Navrette, could you apologize to them for me?"
"After all, it would be really embarrassing if I were to apologize in person..."
Violet almost laughed out of anger when she saw Furninna's expression.
"Oh? Ms. Funina, are you sure you want me to apologize on your behalf?"
"Of course you can, but if you do that, maybe that person will sue you in front of me. In that case, we will have to go straight to the trial process."
Upon hearing the possibility of such a consequence, Furninna trembled with fear, her voice even started to cry, and she said in a trembling tone: "Then, then Villette, you will definitely not do this, right?"
"You will definitely let them submit their application to Mo Mang Palace first, instead of holding a trial so soon, right? Please~"
Villette had said all that he needed to say. It was so late, and he didn't want to disturb Funina's rest, so he said, "Is it embarrassing to apologize? Or is it embarrassing for you to enter Melo Petersburg yourself, Ms. Funina? Think about it carefully."
Seeing that there was no hope of escaping, Funina accepted her fate...
"Well... let's talk about this tomorrow. I'm really tired today and need to go back to my room to rest."
However, Villette thought that Furninna still wanted to escape, so she tried to persuade her again.
"Ms. Furninna, I hope you can choose the best solution."
Hearing these words, Furninna couldn't help feeling helpless, but she spread her hands helplessly.
"I know, but even if I want to apologize now, I don't know where they are. Do you want to accompany me to knock on doors every night to find them?"
Seeing that Furninha seemed to be about to apologize, Villette felt relieved and returned to his usual expression.
"Okay, go upstairs and get some rest. Tomorrow, you have to watch Linny and Linnet's magic show."
"As for finding those three people, leave it to me. I will send someone to find out their whereabouts. After finding them, I will arrange for the four of you to meet in my office. At that time, I hope you can sincerely apologize to them."
Upon hearing this, Funina pouted unconsciously, and she muttered reluctantly, "Okay, I lose... I will definitely apologize sincerely!"
……
As Furninha fled and left Villette's office, a lantern slowly flew out from the corner like a ghost.
Alice's voice came from inside the lantern.
"Then Mr. Villette, have you finished notifying Miss Water Goddess? Am I here in time?"
Navillatte did not give an immediate affirmative answer, but sighed.
"Hey, I was wondering why she suddenly requested repairs to the Soft Light Harbor this week, and she didn't make a fuss about it. It turns out she was preparing a big 'surprise' for me."
It is true that "when a child is quiet, he must be up to something." Villette realized the value of this sentence.
When Funina told him that Roudeng Harbor should be repaired, he thought that the water god who had been a hands-off boss for hundreds of years would take care of government affairs, and he was quite relieved.
In the end he still went about doing evil, but he lost more than he gained and now he almost got himself into Mello Petersburg!
When Alice, who was on the other side of the lantern, heard what Villette said, she suddenly felt an ominous premonition.
"So, you mean that I reminded you a little too late..."
Villette seemed unusually calm, and responded in a calm tone: "Well, this situation is reasonable."
"All packages sent to Mo Mang Palace staff, without exception, must go through a rigorous review process and be unpacked and inspected by Mei Lu Xin."
"In this case, some delays are inevitable."
Alice, who was on the other side of the lantern, almost went crazy when she heard this.
"Next time I must ask Komagariya's Kirara to help with the delivery! Who would have thought that my package would be on the road for a month! Everything has been delayed!"
After complaining for a while, Alice quickly calmed down and began to rack her brains to think of a solution.
After a moment, she hurriedly said, "Actually, you should talk to Shao Yun about this matter. He is very reasonable."
At this moment, Navirat, who was originally concentrating on thinking about how to arrange a meeting with the other party, was attracted by Alice's words.
"Oh? What do you mean? Do you have any special ideas or methods?"
……
Alice's voice came again.
"That's right. As long as we talk to Shao Yun openly and honestly, his attitude can be very good."
Navelette stood there with his head slightly lowered, falling into a brief contemplation.
After a while, he continued to ask: "Can you please tell me more about him?"
"To be honest, the information I have so far is limited to the various events that these three experienced in Mondstadt and Liyue. As for their experiences in Inazuma and Xumi, I know almost nothing about them."
Hearing that Villette was so interested in Shao Yun and his group and took the initiative to ask her about relevant matters, Alice was naturally very happy.
"Of course! But it's a long story..."
When Alice heard Villette asking her about Shao Yun and his group, she told him everything she knew.
"Well, it's a long story."
Alice briefly recounted the bloody encounter between the three of them at Inazuma and Xumi.
When they reached the end of the part about Inazuma, Navillatte motioned for Alice to pause.
"Wait, you just said that Shao Yun killed Baalzebub personally?! But as far as I know, the outside world has always rumored that it was the Fatui who caused the explosion in the Treading Sand, which led to the death of the Ruler of Thunder..."
Alice seemed to have caught the faint relief in Villette's words, and asked in confusion: "When I heard you talk about Shao Yun killing the Thunder God, why did I feel that there was a hint of happiness in your tone?"
Navilette explained calmly in a matter-of-fact tone, "I just don't have much affection for the 'usurper' who stole the power of the ancient dragon."
"As for what you called happy? How did you hear that?"
……
The topic continued. When talking about Xumi, Alice paused and asked, "I wonder if you have heard about the horrific forest fire that occurred in Xumi a few months ago?"
Navilette nodded, he had indeed heard something about it.
"Yeah, I've heard a little bit about it."
Alice took a deep breath and then explained in a slightly solemn tone: "In fact, that fire was far from being as simple as a forest fire in the ordinary sense."
"The scene at that time was that the sky was torn apart, and then a blazing rain of sulfur fell from the sky, mercilessly burning the vast rain forest of Xumi."
She paused for a moment and added, "After the incident was over, in order to prevent the people from panicking, the Grass God instructed the Ministry of Religion to announce that it was just an ordinary forest fire."
"However, think about it carefully, what kind of forest fire could burn all the forests in the entire Xumi in less than half a day?"
That Villette frowned slightly and muttered to himself, repeating the key information he had just heard.
"Tear up, the sky...what does that mean?"
Alice's voice continued to explain: "It means exactly what it says. Although I don't know how he did it, but... it is definitely related to him!"
"Originally I thought Xumi would be destroyed, but for some reason, Xumi is now peaceful again. I feel like there is something I don't know about..."
"Originally I wanted to ask Nico to do some divination, but his fate cannot be predicted by conventional means now..."
At the end of her speech, Alice sighed helplessly, and the lantern swayed gently in the air.
Then, Alice suddenly thought of something and immediately revealed an important message to Villette through the lantern.
"Oh, by the way, when you meet Shao Yun, you might see a guy with a mustache and a black top hat standing behind him."
Alice paused for a moment, then added: "As for this mysterious person, we currently have very limited clues. The only thing we can be sure of is that it is like a nightmare to Shao Yun and scares him."
After listening to the important information Alice said, Violet nodded thoughtfully.
"I understand. Thank you Ms. Alice for such detailed information. This information will be helpful to me."
All that needed to be said had been said, and Alice could only wish him the best: "Now is the time, before Shao Yun has any intention of killing the Water God, come on."
"I still have to find a way to pass the message to the Fire God of Nata. Although from what I know about Mavica, with her forthright and straightforward personality, she probably won't deliberately embarrass them."
"But it's always a good thing to give advance notice."
After saying these words, the lantern that was originally emitting bright light gradually dimmed and finally went out completely.
Villette looked at the lantern that had lost its light quietly, without saying a word.
After a long while, he muttered to himself into the empty air: "I hope he can really be reasonable after a good chat... I hope everything will go well..."
