Chapter 563
"Mr. Neuvillette, what is this?"
"Sympathy for me? Comfort? Or the regret you speak of?"
"No... none of it! I can tell that your words carry no emotion at all; you just feel that this is what you should say."
Neuvillette remained silent.
"Just like back then, my father had already stepped onto the dueling ring, and I ignored the guards' obstruction to come here to find you... You clearly told me that you also felt there was something suspicious about the case, yet you still acquiesced to the duel."
"In your eyes, the value of life is simply not comparable to those ruthless rules and laws in your hands, right?"
"If you really felt my father's death was regrettable, why didn't you stop him back then?"
"Why... didn't you give me the power to stop him, why did you just let him die carrying that infamy..."
"Clearly at that time, if you had just tried a little harder, it might have been possible to turn everything around... I still have so many things I haven't made clear to him... He still owes me the answers to so many questions..."
"If you really have no emotions, then look at me, look into my eyes, and I will tell you what kind of emotion true 'regret' is!"
Looking at Navia, who was emotionally agitated with tears in her eyes, Neuvillette was silent for a moment and said: "... I'm sorry, Ms. Navia."
"You really are very similar to him, to my old man, always suppressing so many things in your heart, never willing to tell others."
"Clearly feeling so many things, yet never expressing them."
"Forget it, anyway, the world knows the coldness of the Iudex. Sorry, I vented some groundless anger on you, my lord Iudex."
"Let's go, Traveler, Paimon."
Neuvillette did not answer, only silently watching the few leave.
Arriving outside the Palais Mermonia, the few realized that it was sunny just before they went in, but now it was already raining.
Navia recalled, and she remembered that it also rained heavily on the day her father had his accident.
Lumine asked a key question: Navia's father's accident happened outdoors, where the rain could reach.
If Primordial Seawater is added now, then there are more parts of the whole case that can be cleared up!
While they were investigating, the 【Supernatural Group Chat】 had already started chatting.
【Kaeya】: Wait a second, in this series, Lumine has heard the legend that 'the Water Dragon cries and it rains,' and previously in the group, Mr. Neuvillette also admitted he is the Water Long Wang, so! It was sunny when they went in, and it rained when they came out. Was Neuvillette cried to tears by Ms. Navia's scolding? (Funny)
【Azhdaha】: My Iudex is expressionless on the surface, but actually, he has already cried into a tearful mess inside. (Hu Tao? Smirk)
【Gu Chen】: Neuvillette is lying in bed sleeping at night, and wakes up in the middle of the night and starts crying: How could she say that about me! (Gorou? Crying painfully)
【Furina】: Hahahaha!! (Laughing holding belly)
【Neuvillette】:...
【Navia】: Sorry, sorry, this really... hit my funny bone. (Covering face)
【Neuvillette】: Let's put the teasing aside for now; the true culprit behind the scenes seems to have been found.
【Tartaglia】: Wait, it couldn't be me, right? Impossible, right? (Paimon? Shocked)
When Lumine and Paimon were investigating at the mysterious organization's 'headquarters,' the trial at the Opera Epiclese had already begun.
Tartaglia was being put on trial.
However, Tartaglia himself didn't care much about these issues; he was just considering whether he could truly have a real fight with Clorinde.
Navia appeared in time, and the confused and shocked Marcel was put in the position of the accused.
After a fierce confrontation, after Lumine and Paimon returned, accurate evidence easily defeated Marcel.
He is Vacher!
Furthermore, he is not a Fontaine person and cannot be dissolved by Primordial Seawater!
After Neuvillette sorted it out again, the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale gave the verdict.
Vacher, that is, Marcel, guilty!
Tartaglia, thinking the trial was over, prepared to leave, but was stopped by Neuvillette; the part concerning him had not passed yet.
The Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale judged Tartaglia guilty!
Tartaglia was stunned for a moment; the result of the verdict clearly could not convince him, and he refused to cooperate with the trial process.
The mechanical guards surrounded him, and Tartaglia fought back with the power of his Delusion. The mechanical guards were clearly no match. Just as the Foul Legacy was about to be activated, Neuvillette took action and forcibly ended the farce.
【Tartaglia】: What does this mean! (Annoyed)
【Venti】: Poor Tartaglia, his ultimate move hadn't even been unleashed before it was terminated. (Funny)
【Tartaglia】: Can't help it, who told this guy to be the Water Long Wang, it's normal not to be able to beat him, but being able to leave a wound on his face is not bad. (Tartaglia? Sighs)
【Neuvillette】: Analyzing from the perspective of an outsider, Mr. Tartaglia shouldn't be guilty. Why would the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale make such a verdict? (Doubtful)
【Shikanoin Heizou】: The clues are not enough, but from the fact that the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale has been operating normally for so many years, Tartaglia likely has some secret that caused it to judge him guilty.
【Tighnari】: Let's keep watching.
Tartaglia has been taken away, and the trial is truly over.
Finally, arriving at the Fountain Plaza, Marcel was devoured by countless Oceanids.
The mastermind behind the serial disappearances of young girls had his soul taken away, and the doctor concluded that he died of excessive fright.
The traveler duo strolled around the Court of Fontaine and then headed to the cemetery next to Poisson.
Neuvillette also unexpectedly appeared here.
Neuvillette answered quite a few questions for the duo.
Lumine also asked about her blood relative, but Neuvillette indicated he had never seen them. (I remember she asked, and sorting out the plot, I found it was asked here, not at the end when she asked her brother.)
After the matter of the serial disappearances of young girls came to an end, the duo planned to rest for a while.
But at the same time, some things seemed to be brewing in the dark.
From Neuvillette, they learned about the tea party between Furina and the Fatui Harbinger Arlecchino; this tea party's sharpness could not be hidden.
And they also learned the news of Tartaglia's disappearance in the Fortress of Meropide.
Neuvillette entrusted the two to help investigate.
After forging a crime, they were sent directly to the Fortress of Meropide.
"Without the god's permission, ate the cake carefully prepared by the Snezhnayan envoy for the god, causing the political core of Fontaine to fall into a short period of silence, a sentence of forty-five days?"
"But looking at this crime, you are people who do big things. Considering Furina's long-standing love for desserts, how is this different from assassinating the Hydro Archon..."
After finishing the procedures, Lumine and Paimon began their prison life.
【Lumine】: Fine, fine, fine, it's destined that I have to experience this part wherever I go, right? Anyway, the locals just don't like us outsiders! (Annoyed)
【Neuvillette】: Ms. Lumine misunderstood; this time it was clearly a forged crime.
【Paimon】: Forget it, forget it, I'm used to it. (Yaoyao? Giving up)
【Venti】: But don't say it, this Fontaine prison looks quite interesting, completely different from the prisons in my impression. It's like another normal world here, everyone has their own division of labor.
【Shikanoin Heizou】: Took a rough look, the structure of this prison... is a bit wrong, as if something is hidden.
【Wriothesley】: Oh? Did you notice something just by looking at the layout of the prison? (Surprised)
【Paimon】: Ah? Listening to what you mean, is there really something hidden in the prison?! (Paimon? Shocked)
【Sigewinne】: There is a secret, but it won't scare people. (Patting)
Lumine and Paimon in the prison unexpectedly saw Lyney and Lynette.
They came to the prison to investigate Tartaglia's disappearance and some secrets.
As the days went by, Lumine and Paimon also figured out the passage Tartaglia left through.
At the same time, these days, because of carrying Tartaglia's Vision, Lumine could always have dreams from Tartaglia's first-person perspective.
????????? Seeking flowers???????
The Fortress of Meropide clearly has many secrets.
With the investigation day by day, and the conflict between Lyney and Wriothesley, Lumine learned quite a bit of the truth.
And suddenly one day, the Fortress of Meropide suddenly shook.
Something happened!
Lumine and Paimon rushed in, and before them were two backs standing ready, Wriothesley and Clorinde.
At the end of the restricted area, the huge gate trembled incessantly, and the needle of the dashboard shook as if trembling at the critical point.
In an instant, the four corners of the gate were broken by huge water pressure, powerful water currents blasted open the confinement, and surging Primordial Seawater rushed into the room like a fountain.
Wriothesley and Clorinde clearly could only hold on for a short time, so Lumine and Paimon immediately went to find Neuvillette.
Neuvillette was right at the entrance of the Fortress of Meropide. After meeting, he asked the two to go to the Opera House to protect Furina, while he himself entered the Fortress of Meropide.
In the Opera House, seeing Lumine and Paimon, Furina stood up with uncontrollable joy.
