Chapter 120 The trial begins
Xia Xi also analyzed: "It seems that the Water God will not reveal anything about the prophecy unless it is absolutely necessary."
Mao Lilan: "Then what other methods can we use to make the water god relent?"
Conan: "We can create an environment where she'll have to talk... tomorrow's trial!"
"Tomorrow's trial!" Xia Xi and Conan blurted out at the same time.
Just as Zhuxing said before, tomorrow's trial is most likely the deadline of the game. It would be a good opportunity to interrogate Fukalos during tomorrow's trial and force her to tell him about the prophecy. This way, perhaps all problems can be solved at once.
"In fact, I suspect that Fukaros is not actually..."
Next, Conan shared his suspicions and inferences with everyone, and then talked about the plans for tomorrow's trial. Everyone nodded in agreement.
Perhaps in order to give players more time to prepare, time did not pass as quickly as before on the night before the trial.
But for the players, time still passed too quickly. It felt like Conan had just finished telling everyone about his plan, and the time for the trial showdown was almost here.
Everyone followed the staff's instructions and walked into the Oprykle Opera House.
"Silence!" Villette stood on the judge's seat above the cardinal in the center of the opera house, looked at the crowd in the audience who were talking, and shouted loudly, knocking the staff in his hand hard.
As his voice echoed throughout the opera house, the audience calmed down from the excitement of watching the gods and others engage in a court duel, and the whispers in the audience gradually stopped.
When Navillatte saw that the scene had calmed down, he proceeded to the next step, "Please invite the accuser..."
Following Villette's introduction, Fucaros walked to his seat and sat down, waving to the audience as he walked.
"Lord Water God!"
"I love you, Master Fukaros!"
"Wow! It's rare to see Lord Fucaros in the courtroom..."
"Yes, I used to see Master Fukaros in the audience most of the time..."
"..."
Conan looked at this scene that seemed like chasing a star, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "......"
It really is the same as the scene when my mom, that big star, appears on the stage...
That Villette had already anticipated the noisy environment at the scene, so he didn't say anything more. After the scene became a little quieter, he asked Xia Xi and the others, as the other accusers, to arrive at the designated location.
Navilette: "Both parties are in place, so the trial begins—"
Fucaros: "There's no need to go into those tedious opening remarks. Villette, let's get straight to the point."
Villette didn't care about Fukaros interrupting her. After hearing Fukaros's suggestion, she also omitted some opening remarks and said directly: "So, Ms. Fukaros, do you accuse the magician of being the murderer of the missing girl?"
Fukaros nodded: "Yes."
That Villette turned around and said, "Travelers from a foreign land, do you object to Ms. Fukaros's accusation?"
Yuanta, Kikukawa and Jiangshou answered loudly: "Oppose! We oppose!"
Navrette: "Do you have any new accusers? If so, who are they?"
Conan: "Ahem, we accuse the president of the Cabriere Chamber of Commerce, Marcelle, whose real name is Vache, of being the murderer in the missing girl case."
Ayumi: "That's right, we found a lot of evidence, and he admitted it himself."
auditorium.
"Wonderful! So wonderful! The two sides were at odds from the beginning..."
"Both sides have accused different murderers, so who is the real murderer?"
"Of course it was the person Lord Fucaros pointed out. Lord Fucaros is the water god who is the embodiment of justice. How could he have pointed out the wrong person..."
"That makes sense...but didn't that little girl just now also say that they found a clue?"
"Not all clues are correct. How can you easily doubt the correctness of the Water God?"
"..."
When Fucaros heard the faint sounds of support coming from the audience, a hint of discomfort flashed across his face, but he quickly concealed it and put on a confident smile again.
She looked at Conan and the others, shook her head and sighed, "Alas, although I am sure you have the courage to confront the gods, there are some things where courage alone is not enough... I heard about your previous investigation process. You were able to travel to so many places in just three days. You are indeed worthy of being someone who is not afraid of facing gods."
"But the person you accused today is an unconscious patient. Are you sure you didn't just make a desperate attempt to win the duel and accuse someone who can't be refuted? I hope you can produce real evidence to prove your point in the next trial. Otherwise, even if I admire you, I'm afraid I can't stop you from being convicted of false accusations."
"Of course, as a merciful and forgiving water god, I will find a way to reduce your punishment. At least I won't let you spend your whole life in Melo Petersburg with the charter."
Yuan Tai looked at Fukalos across from him with half-moon eyes: "What? This water goddess' words are so irritating. Her tone is as if she is sure that we will lose."
Kikukawa: “That’s right.”
Mitsuhiko: "Don't be influenced by the other side. Maybe this is their strategy to interfere with our emotions."
Ayumi, Genta, Jiang Ming and Kikukawa nodded: "That makes sense..."
Conan: "..."
Moroboshi: "......I don't think so. I think the water god has no idea of any strategy. Maybe he is telling the truth......"
Huihara: "So what is Mello Petersburg? A prison in the game? I wonder if there's a chance to go and see it?"
Xia Xi got interested and interrupted the conversation: "I want to go and see, too. I haven't tried going to prison yet. It's hard to get in real life, maybe I can try it in the game. I wonder if the food there is delicious..."
Mao Lilan looked at Xia Xi helplessly: "...Who would be curious about a prison. And it's already a prison, so what delicious food can there be..."
Xia Xi: "Not necessarily. If we can play this game again in the future, Xiaolan, let's find a way to go to Melo Petersburg. Then, how about I treat you to a meal with that special voucher?"
Mao Lilan looked a little hesitant: "It's not a good idea to go to jail, but it shouldn't be a problem in the game... When the time comes, I'll treat you, Xia Xi."
