Chapter 652: Fernina's History Class
Under the guidance of Persif, the group arrived at the area where the weeping willows were located in the lake.
When Villette saw the lifeless and yellow weeping willows in the lake, his face suddenly became solemn.
"I really didn't expect that the pollution here is much more serious than I thought before."
Persif was extremely anxious as she looked at the turbid and polluted lake water and the lifeless willows in the lake.
She grabbed the hem of Villette's clothes tightly, and shouted in an urgent and panicked voice: "The visitor! Percival! Ilia, water! Damn!"
Navillatte sensed Persif's inner uneasiness and worry. He nodded gently and comforted her, "Don't worry, I understand what you mean. I will do my best to solve this problem."
After that, he muttered to himself: "But now that I lack that authority, I really don't know if I can handle this matter in the most ideal state..."
Hearing Villette's whisper, Persif waved her hands to cheer him up.
"Percival! Percival!"
Violet looked at Persif's expectant face, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing an extremely gentle smile.
"Okay, I'll do my best."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to the people behind him and announced: "I'm going to take Persif to see what's going on underwater. You guys wait for me on the shore..."
Seeing this, Paimon also cheered and said, "Well, okay, come on!"
……
After Navillaette and Persif dived into the water, Shao Yun and his companions could only stand on the shore bored and wait quietly.
If it were in the past, Ying and Paimon would have been unable to resist the urge and would have followed Villette into the water to help solve the problem.
However, this time, for some unknown reason, Ying and Paimeng became so quiet unexpectedly, as if they had suddenly learned to be lazy, and just stood silently on the shore watching the water.
On the other side, Clorinde looked at Furninna, who had been silent all the way and was obviously sulking, and took this opportunity to speak softly to comfort her.
"Lady Fininna, please stop being angry and calm down. After all, the pollution in this area of water is really too serious. It is completely understandable that Villette is so anxious to deal with this matter as soon as possible."
Hearing Clorinde's words of comfort, Funina first sighed helplessly, and then spoke in a rather complicated tone.
"Hmm... Well, in fact, I also understand these principles."
"Of course I know that Violet cares a lot about Meluseen's affairs, but... well, I'm just a little irritated recently."
The conversation turned to "Melushin" and Paimon asked the doubts in his mind.
"Actually, I'm quite curious about the history of Melusin. I've heard from some Melusin that they are a young race that has only appeared in the last four hundred years..."
When Paimon asked about the history of Melusin, Finina's eyes became deep.
"Then you probably don't know the story of a girl called Carolee."
Paimon was very confused when he heard the name "Carole" from Finnina.
She subconsciously reached out and scratched her head, and asked, "Carole? Who is she? Is she working in the Shadow Chaser Court or in Seafoam Village?"
Finina narrowed her eyes slightly, lost in memories of the past.
After a while, she opened her eyes again and began to tell the long-forgotten past.
"This probably dates back to more than four hundred years ago. At that time, Villette brought some Melusine to Fontaine, and Carolee was one of the first to arrive here."
"That Villette arranged for these Meluseens to join the Shadow Chasing Court. I heard Villette explain it to me at the time because the Meluseens have unique visual abilities. This special vision can help them better perceive clues in the case, thus helping to solve various complex and difficult cases."
However, Funina's expression soon turned gloomy again, and her tone became heavy.
"However, the people of Fontaine at that time were afraid of and dissatisfied with Melusin, and she was discriminated against by the people of Fontaine at that time."
"However, there are exceptions to everything. At that time, there was a colleague who had a good relationship with Carolee. I think he was the captain of the special training team at that time. His name was Watling. The two of them had a good relationship."
"Afterwards, in Fontaine, Carolee and her partner Watling worked hard. On the one hand, they promoted Melusine's integration into Fontaine society, and on the other hand, they helped Navilette to carry out reforms."
"Five years later, both of them received the 'Peace Medal' made by Villette himself."
"However, because of Navillatte's reforms, the interests of many old forces were affected. In order to resist Navillatte's reforms, they decided to cause trouble for Navillatte, so they chose to frame Meilushin."
"Those guys tricked Carolee into going to the crime scene, making her a suspect and creating panic."
"Faced with the angry public and the security team that was unable to intervene in time, Carolee chose to sacrifice herself to calm the situation."
"Carole's sacrifice made her partner 'Watlin' heartbroken. He decided to avenge her and killed all the framers himself."
"Finally, he was convicted by Navrette and sent to Meropeburg."
After listening to the story told by Furninna, Paimon was so surprised that his mouth opened into a big "O" shape.
"Ah? So there were such sharp contradictions and conflicts in Fontaineland in the past!"
Fininna recalled some details from more than four hundred years ago again, and said with a serious expression: "In fact, at that time, I also wanted to do my best to help Villette solve these problems."
"However, I have just taken over the position of Water God and am faced with countless messes waiting for me to deal with and clean up."
Then, Funina began to describe in detail the series of difficulties she encountered at that time.
"The first was the first flood period, when many places were flooded and people's lives were greatly affected."
"Then there was the Grey River Purge and the Siege of Baisong, which caused a huge split in Fontaine society and plunged the entire Fontaine into chaos."
"You simply cannot imagine how complicated and confusing the situation was at that time..."
Having said this, Funina paused for a moment, then shook her head helplessly and continued, "Besides, I believe everyone knows Violet's character."
"If it weren't for his upright and impartial character, how could I trust him with the important position of Supreme Judge?"
"At that time, Villette told me seriously that if 'Waterlin' was given a break, the majesty of the law that he had been trying to maintain would be gone, and all the efforts and contributions to social reform would be in vain..."
At this point, Funina sighed and said, "If it weren't for Villette's adherence to the law at the time, the nobles of Fontaine wouldn't have been as safe as they were a few days ago when I took you to the salon... They might even have to marry the nouveau riche to make a living."
"Before Villette came, I couldn't even think about it."
After listening to the historical story told by Fininna, Paimon said with some sadness: "This... I feel that Villette was so pitiful at that time..."
Shao Yun interrupted and told a very realistic truth.
"The pursuit of fairness and justice requires sacrifice."
After listening to what Shao Yun said, Funina nodded in agreement.
"Actually, I also understand that Violet was good to Melusin. The situation at that time was really... well... forget it, let's not talk about these annoying things."
When Paimon heard that Finina took the initiative to change the subject, he asked her another question.
"Well, that's the end of the history story. By the way, Furninna, are you really planning to run away from home?"
When she heard the words "running away from home", Funina, who originally looked a little sad, suddenly became a different person.
She raised her head proudly, crossed her arms, and said angrily, "Humph! That's right, I won't go back so easily. I have to make Violet beg me to go back!"
"Otherwise, where will I put my face?"
Shao Yun, who was standing nearby, heard this, rolled his eyes, and pretended to look sinister and scare him.
"Funina, why do I feel that the reason you don't want to go back to Momang Palace is because you're afraid that 'Dachi' will sneak up to your bed in the middle of the night and stab you in the throat?"
Upon hearing the name "Daqi", Funina, who had just been full of pride, suddenly changed her expression and demonstrated in a concrete way what it meant to "Children in Jiangdong dare not cry at night when they hear the name of Zhang Liao".
Then, she hurriedly hid behind Ying and grabbed the corner of Ying's clothes tightly.
"Ah! Don't... don't mention that name! It's scary!"
When Shao Yun saw Fu Ningna's frightened reaction, he became playful and continued to increase the intensity of his threats.
Shao Yun narrowed his eyes and said in a low and strange tone: "Who knows, at this moment, that 'Dachi' is hiding in a corner, secretly watching you."
"As long as you let your guard down for a moment, he will act, and then you will hear a gunshot..."
As the onomatopoeia "bang" came out of Shao Yun's mouth, Funina let out a soft moan.
Then, she hugged Ying's waist tightly with her arms and shouted loudly: "Ah! Ying, please take care of your husband!"
Ying turned around and her eyes fell on Funina, who was hiding behind her and trembling.
Ying couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, and said with a teasing tone: "Funina, you are so timid..."
As she spoke, Ying raised her hand and, seemingly with force but actually gently, nudged Shao Yun beside her, and said angrily, "Okay, stop scaring Funina."
