Chapter 360

The person in the middle of the third painting was Furina falling into the water, with a circle of people surrounding her.

The fourth painting was Fontaine's constant prophecy, everyone dissolved in the sea, leaving only the Hydro Archon crying on the throne.

Neuvillette touched the stone slab but failed to obtain any information because the first one was missing.

Everyone talked for a while based on the clues, and Neuvillette mentioned Furina again.

Furina had been hiding secrets and could not easily give in. The more this was the case, the more Neuvillette felt he should fulfill his responsibility and let Furina understand the status quo.

After all, Poisson had already suffered a disaster, and the disaster was approaching the entire Fontaine step by step!

Leaving the ruins.

The duo returned to the stronghold in the Fleuve Cendre to rest and unexpectedly met Mona!

After learning Mona's surname and the old woman with her triple surname, Lumine and Paimon felt very abstract.

After the exchange, after chatting with Paimon, they had a good sleep to replenish their energy.

A few days later, somewhere in the quiet Poisson, on a boat.

Lumine, Paimon, Lyney, Lynette, Freminet, Clorinde, and Neuvillette were discussing here.

Clorinde compared everything to hunting.

Clorinde's metaphor was ultimately just a metaphor.

They would not call their actions hunting; that was not what should be done at this moment, and there was absolutely no such severe relationship between them and Furina.

What they needed was just the secret Furina was hiding.

Probing into an Archon's secret was too disrespectful, but in order to prevent Fontaine from sinking into the water as the prophecy showed, they chose to take the risk.

[Furina]: ...

Furina still felt it was too strange.

How was this different from discussing how to assassinate her to her face?

Furina, who was keeping the secret in her heart, felt a bit aggrieved, but she had always firmly believed that doing so would definitely have a good result.

Returning to the Spina di Rosula stronghold, Lumine and Paimon suddenly saw a cup they hadn't seen before, still holding hot tea.

The cup could speak, or it was just conveying someone's voice.

Lumine guessed the other party's identity, a member of the Hexenzirkel, the mysterious witch with the code name N.

From her, they learned that the prophecy would definitely happen.

Witch N left some hints.

The unexpected information made Lumine feel complicated. She lay on the bed thinking for a long time before slowly falling asleep. When she woke up, she met Mona.

After talking for a while, they confirmed Witch N's identity, but her hints still gave Lumine a lot of confusion.

A few days later.

Furina was watching a performance at the Opera House. When the intermission arrived, suddenly other audience members made things difficult for Furina, loudly accusing her of inaction regarding the prophecy crisis.

Before Furina could respond, others emotionally accused her.

Later, more and more people came. Seeing that the situation was out of control and that defense was useless, Furina left the Opera House in a hurry, using the excuse that the mood was spoiled.

Lumine and Paimon came to Poisson to look for Furina.

From afar, they saw Furina standing there, staring blankly at the traces of the disaster.

"...Give up, this is meaningless..."

"Look, things will still happen, everyone is dead."

"Sorry... sorry... give up, Furina, don't persist anymore..."

Furina was sobbing, and she kept apologizing to the traces of the disaster: "Sorry... but other than this, what else can I do..."

"Furina..." Lumine walked over.

Furina was very nervous, and only breathed a sigh of relief after discovering it was the two of them, joking that she thought it was some ignorant mob coming to kowtow and plead guilty.

Paimon looked at the tear stains on Furina's face, and Furina said it was just that the play in the Opera House was too touching, and she was still savoring it even now.

Just as they were chatting, someone suddenly chased after them.

Lumine and Paimon immediately took Furina and ran away. After hiding in a room, the room suddenly began to shake.

Furina's holding on was reaching its limit, and her performance began to become much more natural.

In this narrow room, there was no one around.

Lumine was both persuading Furina and was very urgent.

Furina hesitated again and again, wanting to speak but stopping, and finally made up her mind to say something, and Lumine also listened nervously.

At this time, the four walls of the house fell outward, and Furina found that she was actually on the stage of the Opera House.

"Audience, my warm-up performance is over."

"Next... the trial of the Archon can begin."

Furina also understood the situation at this time, and she adjusted her emotions.

She felt that she was the embodiment of justice, and the delusion of judging justice itself was too absurd.

Neuvillette stated that these words could be understood as a refusal of the trial, so Furina could defend her reputation through a duel.

When Clorinde stepped forward silently with a sword, Furina was clearly nervous and surprised, but then pretended to be calm and tried to deter the other party.

The atmosphere was tense, and Furina silently raised one hand, then raised both hands.

She surrendered.

Her explanation for this was that she had been avoiding some things all along, and now, she should accept the trial.

"I, Furina, will interpret true justice in this trial!"

I will definitely... protect you all.

"Cheer! Applaud! In this Opera House, a wonderful development that people don't even dare to imagine!"

"A heavy and exciting stroke on Fontaine's stage! The trial of the Archon Focalors—is about to open!"

The audience was excited and agitated, but Neuvillette sighed.

Lumine also sighed. Clearly, Furina was just about to reveal her secret, but in the end, it turned into this situation.

But it doesn't matter, as long as Furina is defeated in court, there is still a chance to figure everything out.

The trial began soon.

The reason for Furina's trial is: she is not an Archon at all!

Furina did not admit to this charge at all.. ....

But when one question after another was raised, more and more people began to question Furina's answers.

Finally, humans will be dissolved by Primordial Sea Water, and everyone proposed a dangerous experiment.

When Primordial Sea Water was placed in front of Furina, Furina remained silent, staring at the water surface.

She was hesitating, and also afraid.

But in the end, she made up her mind and reached into the water.

Everyone was extremely shocked. After Sigewinne checked Furina's physical condition in court, she stated that Furina had been affected by Primordial Sea Water!

Furina couldn't possibly not know the consequences of doing this.

For her, protecting the fake identity of an Archon was actually more important than her own life?

Doubt was in everyone's heart.

"Listen to me, listen to me, don't look at me with cold eyes anymore, the one just now doesn't count!"

Furina was very anxious, with tears in her eyes, and she was still sophistically arguing: "Look, you can't prove that an Archon won't be affected by Primordial Sea Water, right? Also, also, if I were really a human, how would I dare to put my hand into that kind of water..."

"Listen to me, please, listen to me, I really am an Archon..."

It was useless to continue arguing.

Neuvillette, in the name of the Iudex, determined that Furina was pretending to be an Archon as a human, deceiving the public, and was guilty!

"According to the results given by the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale, I sentence... hmm?"

Neuvillette looked at the result and was a bit stunned, then said: "The content on this is... Hydro Archon, guilty... death penalty."

The verdict of the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale shocked everyone.

Only Furina herself sat in the defendant's seat, crying and silent.

Just then, Freminet arrived, and he brought a stone slab.

Now, all the stone slabs had been collected.

The first stone slab proved that Fontaine people were not real humans; all Fontaine people were created by the former Hydro Archon based on Oceanids.

The second stone slab proved that the act of creating humans without authorization angered Celestia. Now, the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale's verdict of the Hydro Archon's guilt perhaps refers to the sin the Hydro Archon carried for creating Fontaine people.
