Chapter 56

【Unfortunately, he himself was not from Fontaine, but his lover dissolved into a puddle of water right in front of Marcel during an accidental contact with Primordial Seawater.】

【No one believed any of this.】

【Marcel turned to experiments, wanting to try to restore his lost lover.】

【But, the endings all ended in failure.】

【"Everything has come to light."】

【"I didn't expect Marcel to really be Vacher."】

【Iverson sighed.】

【The twenty-year-long missing girls case finally ended.】

【Su Bai, however, slowly let out a sigh of relief.】

【"Yes, it’s finally over."】

【In twenty years,】

【Fontaine lost a total of twenty-four girls in their prime.】

【Su Bai’s arm trembled imperceptibly.】

【"Your Holiness."】

【"Since the Fatui Harbinger has been cleared of suspicion, I think there shouldn't be any more issues. Let’s go back too."】

【"The tea should be cold already. I’ll brew a new pot for you."】

【Iverson said respectfully.】

【Su Bai nodded.】

【Looking at that Harbinger named Tartaglia, although he was combative, he didn't seem like an unreasonable person.】

【He shouldn't provoke a conflict between Fontaine and Snezhnaya for no reason.】

【Su Bai was just about to turn and leave,】

【when Neuvillette’s loud voice came from inside the trial court.】

【"Please wait a moment, Mr. Tartaglia."】

【"This case started because of you, and in the end, you also need to undergo a judgment of your crimes."】

【Su Bai paused suddenly.】

【He laughed dumbly: "This old friend hasn't changed once in hundreds of years."】

【"Always so rigid in his ways."】

【"Things are so obvious, yet he insists on following the procedure."】

【"Hmm." Iverson nodded in agreement: "Your Holiness."】

【"Lord Neuvillette is the Iudex of Fontaine after all. It wouldn't be right if he weren't strict."】

【The Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale made a pleasant sound.】

【After the sound ended,】

【Su Bai was just about to leave,】

【but suddenly heard Neuvillette’s final judgment.】

【"According to the final judgment result of the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale,"】

【"Mr. Tartaglia..."】

【"Guilty!"】

【Guilty?】

【Su Bai was stunned.】

【This was already the second time the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale had made a mistake.】

【In hundreds of years, the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale had never made any misjudgment.】

【This time, with such an obvious judgment result, how could the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale have a problem again?】

【Could it be because Lyney did something during his infiltration last time?】

Lyney: "I’m wronged. What ability do I have?"

Lynette: "It’s over, Brother, you’ve been targeted by Mr. Su Bai."

Arlecchino: "Lyney indeed doesn't have this ability."

Tianquan Ningguang: "Sigh, I think Fontaine’s Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale is about to be exhausted by Mr. Su Bai."

Lisa: "Originally wanted to go back to drink tea, but this time it’s not possible again."

Nahida: "Yes, as long as the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale has a problem, the citizens will attack Furina. Furina doesn't know why she doesn't know anything when asked, so she can only rely on Mr. Su Bai to come out and save the situation."

Navia: "Sigh, I saw Mr. Su Bai sigh long after the missing girls case ended, his hands were shaking, sure enough..."

Clorinde: "And Mr. Su Bai clearly remembered the twenty-four missing girls, sure enough..."

Dainsleif: "Unfortunately, Furina is still a riddler."

Lumine: "Speaking of riddlers, that has to be you, Dainsleif."

Aether: "I just want to know now in what way Su Bai can help Furina deal with this crisis. He can't just say Furina saw through the Fatui’s conspiracy in Fontaine, so she intentionally pinned the crime on Tartaglia, right?"

Enjou: "I don't know why, but I have a strong premonition that Su Ye will still be able to help Furina clean up her mess this time."

Venti: "I don't know why, but I have a strong premonition that Su Ye will still be able to help Furina clean up her mess this time."

Lumine: "....."

Lumine: "Barbatos, are you drinking the wine rewarded by the system, or did you take the medicine made by Miss Alice, turning into a repeater? Why does Su Bai like Furina’s butt so much?"

Furina: "Hey! Lumine, there are so many people here, pay attention, give me some face."

Yae Miko: "Hahaha, no, I’m dying of laughter at Lumine. Maybe Mr. Su Bai really likes helping Furina’s butt."

Venti: "Lumine, it’s mainly because what Enjou said makes too much sense, I can't help it."

【Boom!】

【The elemental fluctuations coming from inside the trial court made Su Bai, who was outside the door, frown.】

【He pushed open a door gently.】

【Strong light filled the entire trial court.】

【At the center of the stage,】

【Tartaglia was shrouded in strong energy.】

【"Foul Legacy?"】

【Su Bai looked at the mechanical parts scattered around.】

【The mechanical guards of the trial court must have been dismantled by Tartaglia.. ...】

【That guy was constantly gathering power at this time, presumably because he was dissatisfied with the judgment just now.】

【"Ah, this is..."】

【Inside the trial court, Fontaine citizens let out bursts of exclamations.】

【Even Furina, who was in the stands, couldn't help but let out a scream in fright.】

【Hearing the sound,】

【Su Bai’s frown deepened.】

【The Splendor of Tranquil Waters in his hand tapped the ground gently.】

【Suddenly,】

【Tartaglia, who was transforming, felt his heart tremble.】

【An invisible, massive force shrouded him.】

【"This is..."】

【Before Tartaglia could react,】

【the powerful force instantly pressed him to the ground.】

【"What a terrifying power."】

【"What is going on?"】

【"My body..."】

【"So heavy!"】

【Tartaglia tried to stand up, but no matter how hard he tried, his body was so heavy that he couldn't even lift a finger.】

【"Bad, the more I struggle, the heavier my body gets."】

【"If this continues, my bones will be crushed."】

【The fear of death made Tartaglia break out in a cold sweat.】

【He had no idea what was happening.】

【But, the next second,】

【the force pressing on him surged suddenly.】

【"Wah!"】

【Tartaglia didn't react at all, spat out a mouthful of blood, and instantly fainted.】

【"Ah! This is..."】

【"Is he dead?"】

【"Hey, what’s wrong with that guy?"】

【"I don't know, he was transforming, suddenly he crawled on the ground himself, and then spat blood."】

【"....."】

【The successive unexpected shocks caused an uproar at the scene.】

【Neuvillette hurriedly came to Tartaglia’s side and checked him.】

【Only then did he let out a sigh of relief: "Everyone, stay calm, he just fainted."】

【Afterward, he looked up at Su Bai, who was walking toward the stage.】

【Neuvillette said softly: "Did you do this?"】

【Su Bai pretended to be slightly stunned and looked at Neuvillette in surprise: "Lord Iudex, I don't know what you are talking about."】

【Everyone didn't hear the two whispering, but Su Bai’s presence clearly attracted the attention of the hall.】

【"It’s the Pope."】

【"When did the Pope arrive?"】

【"I was scared by that Fatui Harbinger just now, I didn't even notice the Pope appear."】

【Listening to the cheers coming from below, Su Bai pressed his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.】

【"Everyone, be quiet for a moment."】

【"The case is still under trial. Since the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale has judged Mr. Tartaglia guilty, let’s take him to the Fortress of Meropide first."】

【After Su Bai finished speaking, he turned to look at Neuvillette: "Lord Neuvillette, the trial process should be like this, right?"】

【Neuvillette nodded and did not have a "dispute" with Su Bai on such an occasion.】

【"According to the process, it is indeed necessary to lock Mr. Tartaglia in the Fortress of Meropide."】

【Neuvillette called the people from the Gardes to drag the unconscious Tartaglia away.】

【"Wait a moment."】

【At this time,】

【Lumine, Paimon, and Navia came up.】

【The three looked confused.】

【Paimon couldn't help but ask: "We have already found the murderer of the serial missing girls case."】

【"The case has been solved, why is Childe still judged guilty?"】

【"Oh? So you solved the missing girls case, that’s really..."】

【Su Bai was just about to change the subject, but Lumine questioned: "Your Holiness, the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale has already had problems twice."】

【"Shouldn't you explain it?"】

【"Please watch your words, Traveler." Su Bai still smiled: "The so-called accident last time was specially arranged by the Hydro Archon."】

【"This time..."】

【Su Bai showed a difficult expression.】

【"Your Holiness, what is going on?"】

【"That’s right, can the Hydro Archon explain it?"】

【Fontaine citizens were also worried about the problem of the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale, after all, all the energy in Fontaine was provided by it.】

【"This..." Furina was completely numb.】

【Fortunately, at this time, Su Bai’s sigh attracted everyone’s attention.】

【"You should know that Lyney from the House of the Hearth once entered the core of the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale."】

【"Could it be..." Iverson followed closely, revealing a hint of shock.】

【Fontaine citizens suddenly realized.】

【It turned out to be the Fatui’s doing, not knowing what method they used to destroy the stability of the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale.】

【"Lady Hydro Archon has also been trying to adjust the energy stability of the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale recently."】

【"Just as you saw before, that troublemaking Fatui Harbinger was severely injured because of the energy riot of the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale."】

【"However, please rest assured, as long as this violent energy is cleared out, it will naturally return to normal later."】

Chapter 57: So Long, So Lonely, How Much Longer...

Live broadcast room.

Aether was "indignant," finally giving him a sense of pleasure in counterattacking his brother-in-law.

Aether: "Hahaha, I actually guessed it right. Su Bai really pinned the blame on the Fatui."

Aether: "Sigh! You are still my brother-in-law after all."

Dainsleif: "Aether, have you given up on opposing Lumine and Su Bai’s relationship?"

Aether: "....."

Aether: "Dainsleif, you’re a riddler at critical moments, but when it comes to tearing me down, you have more words than anyone."

Dainsleif: "Please hand over your 100 million Mora, we will travel while watching the movie."

Arlecchino: "No way, Lyney’s behavior at the time couldn't be fully confessed because of the trial, but this time it became a sharp weapon for Mr. Su Bai to counterattack."

Lyney: "Mr. Su Bai is truly a wife-protecting maniac, he’s killing it."

Lynette: "Actually, I’m very envious."

Lyney: "Ah?"

Aether: "Heh, do sisters nowadays have rebellious bones?"

Consultant Zhongli: "Then the question arises, if Lyney hadn't entered the core of the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale, how would Su Bai have responded?"

Enjou: "Whoa! This is indeed a question worth deep thought. I don't know how to respond for a moment."

Lisa: "It’s really a hard question to answer."

Alhaitham: "This kind of question has depth and is worth pondering repeatedly."

Collei: "Can't think of it, my head hurts."

Venti: "Ehe, if that were the case, I’d say it’s because Childe’s Foul Legacy affected the energy of the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale."

Dvalin: "Wake up, Barbatos, the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale had a problem first, and Tartaglia’s Foul Legacy was later."

Skirk: "However, Mr. Su Bai’s power is still strong. What exactly did he use to defeat Tartaglia?"

Tartaglia: "Eh? Even Master doesn't know, I certainly don't understand."

Skirk: "Invisible energy, actually pressing your body so you couldn't even move a finger, making your whole body heavy, this..."

Neuvillette: "This needs to be answered by the person involved, @Su Bai."

Su Bai: "If judged by my current strength, defeating Tartaglia should have been done by using changes in the gravity field."

Nahida: "Changed the gravity environment around Tartaglia’s body?"

Osial: "Ah? That works too..."

Skirk: "So that’s it. The surrounding environment is changed, and one’s own factors will be affected by the environmental changes. As expected of you, Mr. Su Bai, I’m really looking forward to meeting you more and more."

Lumine: "Hehehe, meeting is fine, please don't come wearing hot pants."

Skirk: "This... it shouldn't matter, right..."

Aether: "Don't change the subject, big brother-in-law. If you can answer the above question and guarantee to maintain Furina’s dignity, I will recognize you."

Paimon: "Wow! Lumine, your brother is at odds with Su Bai again."

Su Bai: "Are you saying if Lyney hadn't been to the core of the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale, how would I maintain Furina’s dignity?"

Aether: "Yes, in what other way could you maintain the Hydro Archon’s dignity?"

Su Bai: "That’s too simple. I think my mind in the past life shouldn't have been very mature. If it were me now, I would tell everyone present that Furina has recently been researching how to improve the power of the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale, so that it can not only provide energy to Fontaine people but also actively descend divine punishment on those who cause trouble in Fontaine. So, in the process of upgrading the energy of the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale, there might have been some small problems."
