Chapter 766 A Performance Involving the Gods
As soon as Xu Ning entered the Hidden Dust Cave, Funina rushed up and vehemently accused Qingyi and Wendy of their atrocities against her.
After hearing Xu Ning mention the taboos, the woman in green immediately put on her apron and started cooking as soon as Xu Ning left, quickly filling the table with food.
The bard then laid out several wine bowls, filled them with all sorts of fine wines, and laid out his accumulated snacks and desserts everywhere. Then the two of them started showing off their swagger right in front of him.
Xu Ning looked at the two boring guys speechlessly. He knew they weren't human, but he didn't expect them to be such scoundrels!
Fearing that the food might be taken from the dining table, Xu Ning dragged over a small table and placed the food for the Water God on it.
"Qingyi told you everything we said outside, right?"
Funina nodded nonchalantly and began picking and choosing what she liked to eat.
"My judge really needs to go out and relax more often, otherwise how could he do such an absurd thing? But I, Fucaros, am the embodiment of justice, so let me personally show them what true justice is!"
The inevitable trial will come to an end, and then everything will be over.
Xu Ning looked at the words reflected in his glasses and comforted him, "Some secrets don't necessarily have to be kept to yourself. After all, carrying that responsibility for a long time will only make you more and more tired..."
Funina licked the cream off her fingers and asked with a smile, "You also have a lot of secrets to carry, right? Have you thought about who you'd share them with?"
Xu Ning was stunned and unconsciously looked back at the golden exterior anchor. For the time being, no one but himself could tell what was inside, not even his closest friend, Ningguang Beidou.
Seeing Xu Ning remain silent, Fu Ningna laughed and said, "Tomorrow you will be an audience member at the opera house and witness a performance in which a great deity participates! Alright, I need to get some rest and teach them a profound lesson."
After watching Funina go to her room to rest, Xu Ning glanced at the dessert in her hand that she had barely eaten, sighed slightly, and stood up.
Based on the information currently available, Funina must be hiding some secret, but in Xu Ning's view, this secret is actually completely irrelevant.
After all, based on my own observations, this secret ultimately concerns the existence hidden within the Prophecy Machine. Not only do I know this, but I'm afraid that Judge also knows it.
However, regarding the extent of the schemes of the person inside the oracle, even Vilette himself was probably not entirely sure, let alone himself. That's why he wanted to force Funina to publicly reveal the secret she was guarding.
"His plight is pitiful... but his heart is despicable! Since when has saving a country required forcing a young girl to do it through various means?"
The opera house was packed to capacity the following day.
The long-awaited Linni Magic Show, coupled with the sign on the billboard that read "An unprecedented trial," attracted enough people from Fontainebleau to the opera house.
When Xu Ning arrived at the opera house, Linni's opening act was almost over, and the audience cheered. Many people were whispering about who the defendant in the "unprecedented trial" was.
When Furnessa appeared and stepped into the dock, the entire theater erupted in a cacophony of voices, as if a tidal wave had surged through it.
"What is happening? Is this a judgment against the gods?"
"Now that Clorinde has taken the position of the Inquisition's representative, is it still possible for her to have a duel with the Water God?"
"This...this is the highest justice, the judgment of God!"
Xu Ning sat in the VIP section, silently drinking his wine, while memorizing the countless faces below that were gradually becoming more and more enthusiastic.
Surrounded by flashes of light, Qingyi and Wendy, the two fun-loving individuals, emerged from the Hidden Dust Cave and sat down next to Xu Ning, each carrying a small wine jar in their arms—all that was missing was a handful of popcorn.
"Don't look at me. It was Qingyi who said that you can't feel the atmosphere of the scene by looking at the water screen, so we came out here."
Seeing that Xu Ning's expression was not good, Wendy immediately shifted the blame to Qingyi.
Enraged, the man in green grabbed Aji from the cave and shoved him into a chair beside him. "Aji, protect the Dharma!"
Wendy immediately moved three spaces to the other side and placed a small wind wall.
Xu Ning was too lazy to deal with these two clowns, so he casually took out a camera and handed it to Aji, letting him take selfies for fun.
"Rejoice! Cheers! In this opera house, a wondrous unfolding that people dare not even imagine—I, Frinina, will demonstrate to you in this trial what true justice is. So, the trial of the god Fucarus is about to begin!"
These words were originally meant to be spoken by Navelette, but Fryna took the initiative to say them, making everyone on the "judgment side" feel as if the initiative had been handed over to Fryna.
After standing still, Funina raised her chin slightly, and she seemed completely unfazed by the treatment she had received.
"Alright, stop standing there. Now that you've made accusations against me, who will be my opponent?"
Xu Ning looked at Vilette and nodded to Kong, then walked to the judge's seat, while Kong walked to the accuser's seat.
"Now that both sides are in position, the trial shall begin..."
"Villet, let's skip the tedious introduction. Since there's an accusation, what is my crime? Oh, and a friendly reminder: don't try to make me laugh with excuses like inaction. After all, I don't believe mortals can understand certain actions of gods..."
Kong waited quietly for Funina to finish speaking before speaking, "We won't make up such reasons, nor have we deliberately tried to understand or distort your will. We just want to prove one thing: Funina, you are not a god at all, are you?"
The audience below the stage erupted in uproar.
They thought this trial would at most involve accusing the Water Goddess of dereliction of duty, since everyone had witnessed her "foolish act" of not responding to the prophecy at all.
But who would have thought that Lady Funina wasn't a water goddess?
But their chief judge tapped his cane. "Silence! The charges are valid. Ms. Furina, do you plead guilty to the charges brought by the prosecution?"
Furna sneered, “How could I not be a god… I, Furna de Fontaine, one of the Seven Rulers of the Mortal World, Queen of the Waters, the Directions, the Peoples and the Laws, am without a doubt a true god.”
Suddenly, someone in the audience shouted, "Yes, although Lady Funina is eccentric, greedy, and playful, it would be too strange if she weren't a god..."
Another person shouted, "Yeah, at most she just doesn't do her job properly, why accuse her of not being a god?"
