Chapter 399

"Do we have any talk of forgiveness and pardoning enemies in Shushan?"

"To quote Elder Xuanxi, if I forgive the murderer, it proves I am an accomplice to the murderer!"

"No matter what his reasons are, killing for life is a matter of course!"

"Neuvillette, this matter is settled! After the trial, execute the death penalty immediately!"

Furina said it unquestioningly, and Neuvillette gave a bitter smile and nodded.

It is conceivable how shocking the reappearance of the death penalty is to the entire Fontaine.

"Lady Furina, the death penalty can be executed, but the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale might..."

Neuvillette suddenly thought of Focalors' plan, guessing that the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale would likely not agree to the death penalty.

"It's just a machine! And it wants to defy the ruler's will?"

Furina crossed her arms and said domineeringly:

"In all of Fontaine, I have the final say! No one can defy this ruler's decree!"

"Ruler's Order: After Vacher's trial, announce his crimes and execute the death penalty immediately!"

"Ruler's Order: For the Lesil interest group, those who have committed serious sins, death penalty!"

"Ruler's Order: Neuvillette is responsible for supervising the execution of all criminals! The Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale shall provide convenience!"

Three royal orders were issued, and Furina's true energy circulated, instantly drawing away more than half.

But under the blessing of national destiny, Neuvillette's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but put one hand on his chest and said in a deep voice:

"Neuvillette obeys the decree!"

"The Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale obeys the decree!"

The first voice sounded; although Focalors was a bit surprised, thinking of the absurdity of cultivators, she accepted it.

But the second voice...

This really couldn't be endured!

It's just a machine; how can you also open your mouth and say "obey the decree"?

When it was built, it wasn't given consciousness!

Neuvillette also looked at Furina in a daze.

The latter, although her true energy was consumed a lot, was helped by the national destiny to hold up more than half.

At this time, she said triumphantly:

"How about it? Is my Son of Heaven's God-Sealing Technique okay?"

"Truly incredible..."

Neuvillette reacted and said with shock:

"Controlling people is one thing, but can you even control unconscious, inanimate machinery?"

"What is this?"

Furina snorted and said proudly:

"When my Son of Heaven's God-Sealing Technique goes a step further, my strength breaks through to the Refinement of Qi into Spirit, and the national destiny becomes stronger."

"I can also appoint Heaven, Earth, mountains, and rivers as gods to protect Fontaine."

"If I want, I can even appoint the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale as the God of Justice and Balance! Give it life."

Focalors and Neuvillette looked at Clorinde in a daze.

The latter nodded slightly and said softly:

"Lady Furina is not lying; the Great Yan Sovereign who held the Son of Heaven's God-Sealing Technique back then sacrificed to the Dao in the capital."

"Appointing the Heaven, Earth, mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas of the Upper Realm, as far as the eye could see, were all righteous gods protecting the Great Yan."

"Lady Furina's technique is a very powerful technique; this is something the Sect Leader personally acknowledged."

Although they already knew that cultivators were absurd enough, they never thought they could be this absurd!

Heaven, Earth, mountains, and rivers can all have life after a single sentence.

With this ability, why bother with a five-hundred-year plan?

Just appoint the Primordial Sea as the guardian sea of Fontaine; what problems could there be?

But this thought only flashed by.

Focalors knew Furina couldn't do it yet.

The Primordial Sea is the root sea within the Teyvat planet.

With the national destiny of Fontaine alone, it's really tough.

If Furina were like Jiang Yan, at the peak of Refinement of Spirit into Void, or even the early stage of Refinement of Spirit into Void, she might be able to do it.

But even so, Focalors saw unprecedented hope.

Furina could absolutely solve Fontaine's crisis!

Taking a deep breath, Focalors said softly:

"The so-called serial disappearance of young girls, let's not talk about it for now; our focus now is the prophecy crisis."

"The power Furina has shown is enough to solve Fontaine's prophecy crisis in the future."

"We can't help you with breaking through to the late stage of Refinement of Essence into Qi, but we might be able to help with making the national destiny stronger."

"But... how can the national destiny become stronger?"

Hearing this, Furina said:

"The so-called national destiny is the manifestation of a country's population, land, civilization, etc., in the extraordinary side of comprehensive national strength."

"If you want to improve the national destiny, it's nothing more than making the population larger, the land bigger, and the civilization more prosperous."

"But the population problem cannot be improved in a short time, and the land problem, Fontaine cannot expand in Teyvat at will."

"The only thing left is to make the civilization more prosperous!"

Neuvillette said thoughtfully:

"In other words, make Fontaine stronger? If the Water Narcissus Cross Institute can research more technology, that should also count as making Fontaine stronger, right?"

"That's too slow."

Furina shook her head.

"From the start of a technology project to research, to having results, and finally to widespread use, the time span might be longer than increasing the population."

"We can't wait that long."

Neuvillette frowned slightly.

"Then what should we do?"

"There is a simplest way!"

Furina's eyes were firm, and she said in a deep voice:

"Martial Arts!"

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared in Neuvillette's mind, and he suddenly realized.

"When Lady Clorinde returned to pass on information before, she said that Liyue is already prepared to fully promote martial arts."

"By letting all the people become stronger through martial arts, and then the national destiny will be improved, Lady Furina, am I thinking correctly?"

Furina nodded with gratification, looking like a teacher teaching a student.

"You are still very smart, Neuvillette."

The latter's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly:

"I'll take that as a compliment."

Furina grinned and continued:

"You don't need to worry about the source of martial arts; Clorinde and I are both in Shushan, and Head Zhongli put the martial arts he created in the Merit Hall."

"The price isn't expensive; Clorinde and I can exchange for it together, and we'll be able to get it soon."

"Although our strength isn't high, with Head Zhongli's martial arts, we can soon adapt it into martial arts suitable for the people of Fontaine."

"It will be sent back as soon as possible."

Focalors looked at the serious Furina and sighed in her heart.

Overall, Fontaine's prophecy crisis was still all carried by Furina.

Thinking of this, Focalors always felt a bit sorry for Furina.

"Will it delay your cultivation? Your cultivation is the most important thing."

Neuvillette asked softly.

Furina waved her hand.
