Chapter 666: Renovation of Baisong Dam and Baisong Town.
Chapter 666 Renovation of Baisong Dam and Baisong Town.
At this moment, in the VIP seat, Shao Yun was watching this farce.
When Shao Yun heard that Monlusong owed money, he couldn't help but shook his head and said to himself, "It's only 2.35 billion Mora and we're going to court? Is it so little?"
For Shao Yun, more than 2 billion Mora is not a small amount, but compared with the 50 billion he once robbed, it is nothing.
A mere 2 billion was not even worth his attention.
However, although more than 2 billion is nothing to Shao Yun, it is still a huge fortune for ordinary people.
Funina sat next to Shao Yun, her eyes attracted by the brilliant arguments of both sides of the trial.
Watching the heated debate over money, Funina couldn't help but be intoxicated by it.
"It was a simple business dispute. They were obviously business partners, but because of their immediate interests, they fought and exposed each other's shortcomings in a place like the opera house. This is why the viewing pleasure of drama cannot replace the trial..."
Shao Yun commented thoughtfully: "Drama does need to follow a certain logic, but reality is not like that, right?"
Fu Nina smiled and nodded, agreeing with Shao Yun's point of view, and praised: "That's right. This is the unique charm of the trial. You can witness everything in the world, rather than being limited to those cookie-cutter templates in the drama."
Finina's eyes gradually became intoxicated, immersed in her love for the trial.
"In court, even those who are in the wrong will do their best to argue. They will accuse their opponents from all aspects, such as morality, law, and even the opponent's living habits. This scene is really ridiculous."
In sharp contrast to Funina, who was passionate about the trial, Shao Yun had no interest in the trial at all.
He shook his head helplessly and muttered, "That's why I chose to duel with Clorinde instead of having a trial. It's really too troublesome."
When Clorinde heard Shao Yun mention their duel in Hailu Port, her expression became a little strange and she muttered softly.
"Come to think of it, I'm glad you chose to duel with me back then... Otherwise, my marksmanship probably wouldn't have improved as much as it has now..."
Shao Yun heard what Clorinde seemed to say and asked curiously, "What did you say?"
When Clorinde saw that her whisper was heard by Shao Yun, a trace of panic flashed across her face, but she quickly regained her composure.
She quickly shook her head, put on a serious look, and said, "Nothing..."
However, Shao Yun did not easily believe Clorinde's words. He stared at her closely, trying to see some clues from her expression.
However, Clorinde managed her expression very well, without revealing any flaws...
……
As for who won and who lost in the final trial, it was not the most important thing to Funina.
What really interested her was the heated debate between the plaintiff and the defendant, and the decree that determined how much compensation the cardinal would receive.
……
After finishing a day's trip, Clorinde returned to Momang Palace to clock out as usual.
She couldn't wait to play her favorite tabletop drama and forget about the fatigue from work.
After all, in her eyes, being a bodyguard for Funina was not an easy task...
Since Shao Yun lives in Mo Mang Palace, his working hours are slightly longer than Clorinde's.
For example, he needed to be with Furninha while she was enjoying dinner to ensure that "Dutch" would not attempt to assassinate her while she was eating.
Although Shao Yun had assured Funina many times that she was safe and there was no need to be so paranoid.
But the non-existent "Dachi" created by "herself" and Alechino left an indelible impression in her heart.
It will definitely not dissipate in a short time.
……
At night, inside Mo Mang Palace.
Shao Yun personally "escorted" Funina back to the door of her resting room.
At the end of the day, Funina was in great spirits and said with a smile on her face: "I had a lot of fun today. You should also go to bed early."
After saying that, Funina also reminded him, "By the way, remember to get up early tomorrow. Don't make me wake you up!"
However, Funina's happiness was not passed on to Shao Yun.
After the whole day, Shao Yun’s feelings can be summed up in two words - "annoying" and "tired"!
He really couldn't muster up the energy, so he just casually replied, "I know, go away!"
Then he pushed Furninda into her room and quickly went to his own room.
After Shao Yun entered the room, he found that Ying and Paimon had finished their adventure for today and returned here earlier than him.
At this time, Ying had just finished taking a shower and was sitting on the edge of the bed, asking Paimon to hold a towel to help her wipe her wet hair.
Ying saw Shao Yun coming back and asked with a smile: "Shao Yun, how was your day?"
Shao Yun sat down next to Ying, briefly recalled today's experience, then sighed helplessly and replied: "What else can I do? It's so boring!"
"I just accompanied Funina around and went to the Opicle Opera House to watch the trial. It was so boring."
Then, Shao Yun's gaze fell on Ying, who was emitting fragrance after taking a bath.
After taking a whiff of the fragrant tea, Shao Yun felt a little relieved from his fatigue.
"What about you, what fun things did you and Paimon do today?"
Ying fiddled with her fingers, recalling today's schedule while telling the story.
"Paimon and I got up early today and headed to the Fontaine Academy of Sciences. We had planned to help the scientists there according to our previous plan."
"But who would have thought that when we got there, Mr. Choiseul actually told us that everything had to be done according to the procedure and asked me to wait patiently..."
At this point, Ying couldn't help but sigh helplessly and continued to complain: "Oh, Shao Yun, how come these scientists in Fontaine are just like Xavier whom I met in Inazuma!"
"It's something that can be done in one day, but we have to go through such a cumbersome process and drag it out. It takes several days to complete it!"
Hearing Ying complain that the scientists at Fontaine were just as slow as Xavier when he was dealing with the Imperial Shadow Furnace Core, Shao Yun smiled and said:
"What you said doesn't make sense that a father is like a son and a mother is like a daughter..."
Ying didn't pay attention to Shao Yun's words, but continued to talk about today's daily life.
"Then, after leaving Fontaine Academy, Paimon and I unexpectedly found some treasure chests on the way back to Fontaine! We made some money, and then we went to accept commissions from the Adventurer's Association as usual."
"By the way, speaking of commissions, Shao Yun, I received a particularly interesting commission today!" Ying said happily.
"A painter ran out of paint, and asked me to help him find some replacements. Guess what? I came up with the idea of using nectar from the guillotine to make the paint!"
"I followed his advice and tried to mix the nectar with other materials. The paint I made turned out to be surprisingly good! The colors are bright and the texture is very delicate!"
At this moment, Paimeng suddenly interrupted and said, "But the effect is so good that several Liar Flowers have been attracted here!"
After hearing this, Shao Yun was stunned at first, and then he couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Haha, I feel sorry for the painter. I can even imagine the painter's expression when he saw the Pianpian flower."
Ying also started laughing and stuck out her tongue mischievously.
"But this is a good thing! From now on, the painter will have a constant supply of raw materials for paint, and he won't have to spend money on Mora!"
Shao Yun looked at Ying's smug look and shook his head helplessly, "Then he should thank you?"
Ying immediately put on an awesome expression and said proudly, "Of course!"
Seeing this, Shao Yun touched Ying's forehead with his head.
"Just have fun..."
Ying pushed Shao Yun away and said with a frown: "Okay, go take a shower! I'll let you get tired of me after you take a shower."
……
In this way, day after day, Shao Yun would follow Clorinde and accompany Funina as they wandered around Fontaine.
On the other hand, Ying and Paimon also made good use of their adventurous spirit, adventuring in every corner of Fontaine and "hoeing the earth" to their heart's content.
……
Half a month later, the construction site in Baisong Town.
Because of Navia's renovation plan for Baisong Town and the Baisong Dam project, Baisong Town is now bustling with activity.
Compared with the deserted atmosphere before, Baisong Town is now full of vitality and vigor.
Today, Navia, as usual, wore a safety helmet, stood at the construction site, and directed the workers in an orderly manner.
Some people who had participated in the construction of the track patrol ship couldn't help but think of Navia's father, Mr. Cares, when they saw her directing the construction site.
They secretly sighed that if Mr. Cares were still alive, the track patrol ship from Roudeng Port to Fontaine would have been built long ago.
However, things change unpredictably, and Mr. Cares's departure has undoubtedly brought some changes to this plan.
The project in Baisong Town has attracted the attention of many Fontainebleau residents. Even some Fontainebleau tabloids have begun to make some bold predictions about the "Baisong Dam" and the renovation of Baisong Town.
People were curiously speculating whether, under Navia's leadership, the Rose of Heaven Society would inherit her father's unfinished business and start building the fourth patrol ship line connecting Roudeng Port and Fontaine.
Upon hearing about the renovation plan of Baisong Town and the great progress made in the work of Baisong Dam, Funina decided to come and check it out in person to see what this once familiar town has become today.
Clorinde, who came with them, saw Navia giving orders from afar.
Navia was very motivated and the construction site was bustling with activity.
Clorinde quickly stepped forward and greeted, "Navia, Lady Furninna is here to see you!"
Navia heard the voice, turned around, and saw Clorinde, Shao Yun and Funina at a glance.
A delighted smile immediately spread across her face, and she quickly responded, "Lady Furninna, Clorinde, and my good partner Mr. Shao Yun, hello! It's been a long time since we last met!"
Furninna walked forward and expressed her greetings to Navia with a smile.
"Hello, Miss Navia. I heard that the renovation plan of Baisong Town and the work of the Baisong Dam have made great progress, so I came here to take a look and ask if there is anything that the Fontaine officials can help with."
Navia was also very touched to see that Funina cared so much about the development of Baisong Town.
"Thank you for your concern, Lord Water God. It is indeed as you said. The work here has made great progress."
Then, she introduced to Funina in detail the renovation of Baisong Town and the progress of the Baisong Dam project.
"The dam is expected to be completed in half a month. The renovation plan for Baisong Town is also nearing completion."
Immediately afterwards, Navia enthusiastically extended an invitation to Shao Yun and his party.
"You may not be able to truly feel the changes here just by listening to me, so let me take you to visit the renovated Baisong Town!"
"It will take some time for the Baisong Dam to be fully completed, and the final results are still unclear, but Baisong Town has already been completely transformed!" Navia's tone revealed her pride in the results of her work.
After all, she had high hopes for these two major projects!
If it really succeeds, then Navia may really be able to start planning to build the rail patrol ship line from Roudeng Port to Fontaine, which her father had not completed, as rumored.
Although it could be five, ten, or even twenty years.
