Tewat's Me Undercover in Solstice Winter

Chapter 390 I want to accuse you, Water God, Fukalos!

Inside the Opéra Opéra.

Funina had just finished a trial.

This was a very ordinary trial, nothing more than some sneaky little things. There were no dramatic turns, and there were no prisoners who were stubborn enough to defend themselves.

Funina didn't even waste too much time. She told the prisoner to confess his crime honestly in a few words.

If it were the past, she would have interacted with the audience with little interest, complaining about the lack of technical content of mortals now, which disappointed her, the water god, and looking forward to what the next trial could do to Feng. The Danes bring enough drama.

But today she was no longer in the mood.

Looking at the empty judge's seat above and the well-functioning oracle ruling cardinal.

She felt panicky for no reason.

From the original embryo, the sea water really appeared and was revealed in front of the Fontaine people, letting them know that it was possible for the Fontaine people to dissolve in the sea water as predicted.

She has always been worried that the prophecy will come true.

But she never thought that the prophecy would happen so quickly.

Baisong Town was flooded.

Submerged by seawater containing primitive seawater.

If Carres and Navilette hadn't been prepared in advance, there would have been heavy casualties this time.

And the worst part is.

Villette began to doubt himself, and even began to question himself.

"what should I do?"

"What should I do if someone sees that I am incapable of solving the prophecy and that I am just deceiving them?"

Funina sat on a chair, unable to speak for a long time.

In his mind, he recalled the scene when he met himself in the mirror for the first and only time.

[Fontaine just lost their water god, so I need you to play the role of the new water god. 】

[You have to keep acting. Don’t let anyone doubt your identity. 】

[If you can do it, I have a way to counter the prophecy. 】

[But once your identity is revealed, your last hope will disappear completely. 】

Who is that person in the mirror?

Funina already had a conclusion in her mind.

Fukalos.

A true water god.

He is playing her, and then she implements the method to resist the prophecy.

But the premise of all this is that his identity will not be exposed.

Five hundred years.

In the past five hundred years, she has never dared to forget the promise she made to Fukalos.

She didn't even dare to forget every word Fukalos said.

[Remember, the problem before you is not how to figure out the character of the gods, but how to confront your own humanity. 】

This is how Fukalos taught himself how to play the role of the water god well.

Funina also asked herself when the acting would be over.

Fukalos' answer was ambiguous.

[In order to complete this task, you may go through a long period of time, but you will not grow old until the end. 】

[And I promise you, everything will end in a grand, dramatic judgment, and everyone will be saved. 】

"A dramatic trial."

Funina secretly lamented for no reason.

What kind of trial is called a dramatic trial?

In the past five hundred years, she has not missed every trial. For the sake of drama, she even asked Navilette to deliberately extend the trial time and make each trial as more tortuous and confusing as possible.

But unfortunately.

None of the trials matched the 'grand, dramatic trial' that Fukalos described.

Although every Teyvatite would describe Fontaine's trial process as dramatic, none of the countless trials in the past five hundred years was truly dramatic.

"When will these days end?"

Funina fell into confusion unconsciously.

She recalled her excitement for the unknown challenge when she first became the 'Water God', her nervousness on the first day of playing the 'Water God' and her sense of accomplishment after the performance was successful. Later, she set up the Academy of Sciences and established an intelligence organization to investigate and solve prophecies. method, but the feeling of loss when it finally fails.

Such a boring performance day.

She lived five hundred years.

There is no rest.

There is no one to tell.

Just like this, it played like a mechanical clock for five hundred years.

Just imagine, if an ordinary person is asked to go to work from [-] a.m. to [-] a.m., he may collapse within a month or two.

"This dramatic trial."

"When can we come?"

Funina lamented again.

She is tired.

Very tired very tired.

How tired are you?

She was so tired that when she received a believer, she would shed tears unconsciously. If the believer hadn't reminded her, she wouldn't have reacted.

If these five hundred years of performance hadn't given her the majesty and trust of the water god in the hearts of the people, I'm afraid that believer wouldn't believe the lies she compiled.

And now she no longer cares about the fatigue in her heart.

Villette began to doubt himself.

This is the last thing Funina wants to see.

You must know that in order to prevent Villette from doubting herself, she did not even dare to say that she had been assassinated.

Thinking back to that night.

Funina's hands could not help but tremble slightly.

Fools are the servants of the executors.

is her.

Funina definitely did not admit her mistake.

The servant showed murderous intent the moment he saw her. Although she left in the end, such fear still made Funina sleepless.

In order to survive, she begged for mercy.

A god begged for mercy from the executive of a foreign god.

Still bursting into tears.

This is a shameful thing.

And the servant must have doubted his identity.

But Funina has no choice.

There is nothing she can do!

She is not afraid of death.

But she can't die yet.

The hope of the Fontaine people is still closely connected with her. If she dies, what will the Fontaine people do? What should I do with myself in the mirror?

So Funina no longer pretended to be aloof as before, but lay on the ground crying and begging the servant not to kill her.

Such great fear made her dare not sleep a wink all night after she returned to her room in Momang Palace, and she never dared to walk at night again. Even during the day, she had to be protected by Villette or the police. Only then dare to go out.

"Lady Funina?"

"Lady Funina??"

"Lady Funina!!!"

The police officer's shout brought Funina back from her daze.

Just listen to him continue: "Lady Funina, the trial is over. According to your plan, it's time to perform on stage."

"what?"

"Oh, well, I see."

Funina's face returned to its normal demeanor, she took off her clothes and prepared to stand up.

"that."

"Lady Funina, are you crying?"

The security officer's voice hesitated and asked from the side.

"Ok?"

"Crying?"

Funina blinked.

Indeed, there were tears streaking at the corners of his eyes.

"Ah, this." "The trial just now must have been too touching."

"The prisoner committed such a mistake for his wife and daughter, but in the end he had the courage to take all the responsibilities. It is really a touching drama."

"such a pity."

"I am the God of Justice. I have no mercy before the law."

"It's just that the execution of justice will eventually make the God of Justice shed a tear for him."

Funina laughed loudly and told the security officer: "Go and tell the prisoner that Madam Funina was moved by his deeds and let him reform in Merlo Petersburg so that he can be released from prison and live with himself as soon as possible. His wife and daughter are reunited, well, this is Lord Water God’s encouragement to him, go ahead.”

The security officer listened attentively, and the excitement on his face almost overflowed.

He stood upright with a snap, stood neatly and shouted: "Yes, Lady Funina."

Say it.

He did not leave in a hurry, but said with an embarrassed look: "Ms. Funina, you, you are truly the best god in the hearts of our Fontaine people. Well, can you sign your name for me?" So that I can take it back and make it a family heirloom so that my descendants can admire your miracles."

Negotiating with one's own gods at such a close distance.

In Inazuma or Sumeru, a prisoner like this security officer might not have the chance to say such a thing.

But in Fontaine.

This kind of thing has become commonplace.

The image of the easy-going Lord Water God has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Every Fontaine person knows that Lord Water God rarely refuses prayers from believers.

Same this time.

Funina signed her name on the security officer's clothes, and then left the stage and went backstage.

After dressing up carefully, she wiped away the tears on her face and walked to the stage as before.

In the spotlight.

Funina's expression was confident and proud, and she raised her arms high.

Just this action attracted applause and cheers from the audience.

"My loyal people, let me, the water goddess Funina, bring you a drama of justice."

As soon as the words fell, the play began, and Funina began her performance selflessly.

After a full day at Opéra Opécle.

As dusk approached, seeing that Villette had not yet appeared, Funina hurriedly boarded her own exclusive patrol ship and returned to Fontainebleau under the protection of a ship full of security forces.

As usual.

She did not return to Momang Palace immediately.

Although she now wants to return to the absolute safety of Momang Palace immediately.

But there is no way.

She must now go on a tour of Fontainebleau to demonstrate the water god's charm of being friendly to the people.

Her first stop was the largest newspaper in Teyvat, Steambird Newspaper.

After chatting with the newspaper director for a while and praising her, Funina went to the nearby coffee shop with her hands behind her back and bought a newspaper and a cup of coffee. She sat on a chair like an ordinary citizen. Reading the newspaper and drinking coffee.

After these performances were over, she went to the most famous cake shop in Fontainebleau.

"Lady Funina, you are here."

The clerk happily took out a bag: "These are today's limited edition cakes we prepared for you, Ms. Funina. They are all your favorite flavors."

"Didn't I say so?"

"Even if you are a god, you have to line up with the people of Fontaine."

"I don't want this cake anymore. You can change it to another one."

Funina looked unhappy and refused the bag in the clerk's hand.

"Ah this."

The clerk looked a little embarrassed.

Feelings, today's flattery is on the horse's leg.

In fact, there are no limited edition cakes.

They had prepared it all in advance, just in case Funina really came to their store, such a limited edition cake would be a complete gimmick.

For this day, they had been waiting for two full months before Funina happened to visit her while shopping.

But this god who loves sweet cakes so much, why did he reject their careful preparations.

"Hahaha--"

"At first glance, it looks like a newly opened store. Even Lady Funina never accepts gifts from others."

Passers-by laughed when they saw this.

In this Fontainebleau, no one knows that Funina never engages in privileges.

Even if it is a limited edition cake, I never forcefully ask for it because of my status as the Water God. I always queue up to buy it with everyone.

This store is really so flattering that it has a bad reputation!

The farce ended just like that.

Funina was carrying a bag of sweets and eating them as she walked.

In fact, she didn't particularly like this sweet food at first.

But as the time of playing the 'Water God' increased, she gradually fell in love with this kind of thing that could relax her mind.

Night falls.

The tour of ‘Water God’ is officially over.

Funina returned to her room and threw the empty cake bag into the trash can.

There is another small cake on the table prepared for her by the staff of Momang Palace, which is her favorite style.

But she had eaten enough today, so she didn't move for the time being.

"Then Villette, where are you?"

Funina stood by the window, overlooking the lively Fontaine night, feeling indescribable melancholy in her heart.

Villette has not returned yet.

He has been missing for two days.

This made Funina extremely uneasy.

She was not afraid that something would happen to Villette, she was afraid that Villette was investigating her affairs. What if Villette really found some clues to disprove that she was the water god?

We have worked together for five hundred years.

Funina trusted Navilette very much, and she didn't want the relationship between the two to break up completely.

"Ugh--"

"have a rest."

"There will be a trial tomorrow. I hope this one will bring a surprise."

Funina let out a long sigh. Without even looking at the small cake on the table, she threw herself on the bed and buried her head deeply in the pillow.

Soon.

A circle of tears appeared on the pillow.

Silent all night.

The next day, at the call of the attendants, Funina dressed up carefully, put on the solemn evening dress, threw the pillow that was wet last night into the face plate, and then opened the door, under the protection of the security team. Next, I came to the Opécle Opera House again to prepare for today's trial.

"Villette, are you back?"

Seeing Villette on the trial bench, Funina was so happy that she cried out for no reason.

"Ah."

Villette nodded in response, and then reminded: "Ms. Funina, today's trial is very important. I hope you won't get too excited for the sake of drama later."

"Okay, okay, I understand~~~"

Funina waved her hand casually, not paying attention to Villette's words, and sat down in her seat.

soon.

The seats in the theater were full.

Carres, the prosecutor, also appeared on the stage accompanied by security guards.

"Mr. Carres, is it you again?"

Funina was a little surprised. Didn't Kares just accuse Marcelle? Why are you here again?

"Who are you going to accuse this time? What is the crime?"

Funina asked with interest.

Then I saw Kares hesitated for a long time, then raised his head, looked at Funina and shouted: "The one I want to accuse is you, Water God, Lady Funina!"

"I want to accuse you of disregarding the prophecy! Disregarding the safety of all Fontaine people!"

"You! Claiming to be the God of Water!"
