Chapter 124 The Trial Is In Progress 4
Fukaros took a deep breath and faced the audience: "For this, I want to apologize to my people. As the god of water, I did not notice the abnormality in the Fontaine water system, especially the Lujing Spring, in advance. It was indeed my negligence, but this does not mean that I am not a god."
"As the saying goes, 'under the lamp is the darkest place'. People always fail to see and perceive things and events that happen very close to them. As a god, I made the same mistake. It was indeed my fault."
"I would like to express my sincerest apologies to the people of Fontaine, especially those who have been harmed by my negligence..."
As he spoke, Fukalos turned toward the audience and bowed to apologize.
"It's good enough for a god to be able to do this."
"That's right, even gods can't always make no mistakes..."
"Lord Fucaros, I believe you..."
Seeing that Fucaros turned the situation around with just a few words, the children all looked solemn.
Seeing Fucaros's unreliable performance before, they thought that the other party would be caught off guard when his secret was suddenly exposed, and this trial would be easier to deal with.
It's no wonder that they have been pretending to be gods for hundreds of years. It's not easy to expose them. Fortunately, they have prepared more than just these few pieces of evidence.
Seeing the audience's reaction, Fukaros breathed a sigh of relief. She turned to look at Xia Xi and the others and asked, "Next, do you have any clues or questions? Tell me everything... Or you can drop the accusation now. In consideration of your contribution to the previous missing girl case, I can mercifully forgive you for falsely accusing me."
Xia Xi: "There is no need for that. We do not intend to drop the charges. But speaking of the missing girl case, Lord Water God, you should also understand the role of the original fetal sea water."
Xia Xi motioned for everyone to look at the pink-blue liquid in Conan's hand, who had just run up to her and took out a test tube, and then continued speaking.
"Then, are you willing to use this primordial fetal sea water to prove that you are not an ordinary person? After all, as a god, this primordial fetal sea water should not have any effect on you, right?"
Fucaros looked at the original fetal sea water in front of him and quickened his breathing nervously.
Seeing the other party preparing to act, Mao Lilan could not help but shouted loudly: "Wait, Fukalos, sir, there is actually no need to risk your life to do this. You just need to tell us about the prophecy... It is very dangerous for you to rashly touch the water of the original fetal sea."
Seeing Mao Lilan's concerned expression, Fukalos turned his head away and smiled stiffly, "Haha, what are you talking about? Something about prophecy? I don't know anything about prophecy. And you are wrong. How can it be dangerous for me to touch the water of the original fetal sea? I am Fukalos, the water god. How can such a thing hurt me?"
As he said this, amid everyone's exclamations, he placed his hand into the pink-blue water that Conan had just taken out.
Fucaros placed his hand stiffly in the water and paused for a few seconds without moving.
After realizing what was happening, she immediately cheered: "Look everyone, I didn't dissolve! Now you can believe that I am the real water god."
But then, Melcentrista, who was called onto the stage by Villette and could see things that ordinary people could hardly observe, broke Fucaros's luck.
She clearly pointed out that Fucaros' physical condition was the same as that of ordinary people who were exposed to the same low concentration of the original fetal sea water, which proved that Fucaros was indeed an ordinary person!
At the same time, Conan and the others were also very puzzled as to why Fucaros would go to such lengths to conceal her identity. After all, she was an ordinary person and coming into contact with the water of the original fetal sea would be life-threatening!
Why would you rather hide the truth than risk your life?
Seeing Fukaros's anxious explanation, Conan had a bad feeling in his heart, and always felt that something he didn't want to see would happen next...
At this time, although Fukaros had tried his best to find reasons to explain, it was obvious that the evidence just now was too sufficient, and Fukaros's hasty explanation could not convince the audience, and they no longer believed that Fukaros was the water god of Fontaine.
Seeing Fucaros sitting in his seat with his head down and dejected after his explanation failed, the children looked at each other with some worry.
Ayumi hesitated: "I seemed to see tears in Master Fukaros' eyes just now..."
Kikukawa: "......I saw that too."
Even Yuan Tai, who had never liked Fukaros, felt sorry for her. "Did we do something wrong? She seems very sad..."
But at this point, there was no room for them to regret. As the final evidence was presented, Villette announced: "The trial has come to a conclusion. If both parties have no objection, then I declare that we will proceed to the sentencing phase—"
"Fukalos pretended to be a god and deceived the people. He is guilty!"
As Villette's verdict came down, the children who had been paying attention to Fucaros's situation immediately saw the tears streaming down her face, and they felt a little regretful and entangled about their previous plan to force Fucaros to tell the truth about the prophecy in this way.
I was worried about whether they had hurt Fukaros, but I also felt that if I didn't force him and let Fukaros keep escaping, then my hope of completing the game would be even slimmer...
Navilette continued, "Next, the final decision will be made by the Cardinal of the Encyclical."
Now we can only hope that after the verdict is made, Fucaros will tell us what she knows about the prophecy and the Fontaine crisis.
A familiar aqua-blue light flashed by, and Villette held the result, opened his eyes wide in shock, and said the final result of the oracle's ruling in a tone of disbelief: "Water God, guilty...death penalty!"
Ayumi: "Death, death penalty?!"
Mitsuhiko: "Wait, why is it a death penalty?!"
Kikukawa: "There is no need to sentence someone to death if he is just deceiving the public and not killing or setting fire to anything."
Yuan Tai: "That's right, is this decree to rule on the cardinals correct?!"
Ayumi and the others exclaimed in surprise when they heard the result. They just wanted Fucaros to tell them the information he knew and never thought of forcing him to death!
