Although they didn't think too much about the issues involved, and even felt a little helpless about 'Funina's' appearance - after all, according to common sense, their own water goddess was just causing trouble.
But unlike usual, this kind of intervention, made in such a formal manner in the name of the God of Justice, means that as long as the lineage of the Water God is still recognized, whether it is to uphold the foundation of the laws of Fontaine or to save face for [Frinna], Vilette knows exactly what to do next.
"In that case, this case is now closed."
"The evidence is irrefutable, Vashet. As the Supreme Judge, I hereby pronounce your verdict: Guilty..."
Navelette was about to seek the judgment of the "Cardinal Decree," as was her habit, but 'Furina' in her sight shook her head slightly.
Meeting his gaze, Navelette seemed to understand something, paused for a moment, and then spoke:
"The sinner Vasher is guilty of abduction, causing numerous innocent girls to dissolve in water, and trafficking large quantities of the prohibited drug Les... and many other crimes. According to the laws of Fontainebleau, for the combined offenses, you are hereby sentenced..."
"death penalty."
After a moment's pause, Vilette hesitated, but after sensing Jiang Ningna's gaze, he still made the decision.
To be honest, it wasn't because I was subservient to the water god, my superior.
Simply because the death penalty has been almost never used since the creation of the Fontaine Law.
This also explains why, when sentencing Vasher, Navilette was still hesitant about whether to use this punishment, even though she knew very well that the latter's crimes were sufficient to warrant it.
"Death penalty! Did I hear that right? Death penalty!"
"I thought this punishment only existed on paper, but it's true, given the many heinous crimes this guy has committed, the death penalty might be too lenient for him."
"Seriously, they're not using the 'Cardinal Decree' to make the decision?"
"Oh well, who cares? As long as it's interesting, that's all that matters. Besides, with this old-fashioned, broken machine, it would be ridiculous if it ended up just being a simple guilty verdict."
"Indeed, indeed, compared to this machine made by Lady Funina, the judgment made by Lady Navelette, as the Supreme Judge, is clearly more just and reasonable!"
"Don't be so harsh on her, Lady Funina is very handsome too!"
"So you're planning to invite her to sit at the judge's table?"
"There's absolutely no need for that!"
"Hmph, you heretic! What's wrong with Lady Frinina sitting at the judgment table?! You're disloyal!"
The people of Fontainebleau below the stage erupted into chaos once again.
But there is no doubt that a trend has emerged – Navigette’s authority is rising further.
Of course, he was already very tall.
After all, Frynn, the biggest claim to power, is essentially a mascot, and only the "Cardinal of Decree" can outdo Navelette.
After skipping the "Cardinal of Decree," Navilette's authority was further enhanced.
However, this comes at a price. For example, Miss Fukaros, who is currently hiding in the "Cardinal of Decree," is having some worries.
No, what is going on?
Why are trials suddenly abandoning the defense?
It is important to know that the process of rebuttal is the only important way for the "Cardinal of Decree" to collect the power of legal compensation, and at present, we are still far from having enough power of legal compensation to shatter the throne.
To be honest, she was quite happy after seeing 'Furina'.
After all, she, who had been somewhat hesitant, seemed to have completely settled down, as if she had returned to five hundred years ago, and was even more composed than Fulina, who had just played the role of the water goddess five hundred years ago.
In this way, her biggest worry—that Funina wouldn't survive long enough for her to collect enough Lawful Energy to shatter the Throne of God—seemed to be easily resolved.
But now, it seems that the problem isn't with Funina, but with themselves.
Hmm...it should just be an isolated case, right?
Fukalos gazed at the scene outside, trying to console herself.
Perhaps it was simply because this person named Vasher was special that Vilette and Funina adopted such an unconventional approach.
but...
"Funinga has really improved a lot."
Fukaros gazed at the indifferent 'Jiang Ningna' on the throne, resting his chin on his hand and watching with great interest.
In the past, although Funina would use the name of the water god, it was really just for fun.
It has almost no deterrent effect.
If you were a little bit more assertive, it would be Funina herself who would be embarrassed.
But just now, 'Frinina's' appearance...
"Great, this is the taste, just as I imagined!" Fukaros thought to herself—although it seemed a little strange compared to her ideal self, if you included herself, she felt it was just right, no... it was even better than her ideal self.
The decisiveness, composure, and gentleness of Fukaros belong to Funinna, while the peace and elegance belong to her.
It's a two-in-one product!
"...death penalty."
Upon hearing the verdict, Vasher, who had just been defiantly seeking death through a duel, suddenly had his pupils dilate in shock, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.
Wanting to die is not a difficult thing.
But when death was truly about to befall him, Vasher began to feel fear.
Perhaps as an adventurer he had the courage to fight against life and death, but when Vasher became the notorious Marcellus, he clearly lost that courage.
Of course—what terrified Vasher even more was not just death.
Rather, once he dies, his desperate desire to see Vinnie again will truly come to an end.
"I refuse to accept this! I refuse to accept this!"
Vasher screamed loudly, looking utterly disheveled, trying to escape from the guards behind him, only to be violently slammed to the floor, groaning incessantly.
"Let me go! Let me go! I refuse to listen!"
Of course, Vasher's execution would not be carried out so hastily—after all, Fontaine had almost never used this punishment before, and it had always been kept out of reach, with even the law enforcement officers assuming that it was just a showpiece to scare people.
Unexpectedly, one day someone actually received this punishment.
In such cases, deciding on the appropriate method for carrying out the death penalty becomes a matter that needs to be discussed and considered.
In response, 'Furina' offered her opinion.
"Use the guillotine!"
Seeing Navelette's somewhat conflicted state, Mr. Jiang Qiao suggested a very suitable instrument of torture.
After all, Fontaine's prototype is France.
When it comes to France, isn't the guillotine the most memorable thing?
This is a specialty, you absolutely must try it!
“The guillotine…” Navelette’s face contorted in pain upon hearing this suggestion.
Without a doubt, from this point onward, he finally found the nonsensical and absurd nature that belonged to the water god.
He considered execution by shooting or hanging—methods that would undoubtedly be more dignified and less visually shocking to the onlookers.
Unexpectedly, this turned into a guillotine... Why don't you just give me a thousand cuts instead?
In response, Jiang Ningna stated:
It is not impossible.
If necessary, we could even consider letting Vasher do it himself!

Having been expelled from police academy in his previous life, Luo Chen faced the entrance examination for the Guard Bureau as soon as he arrived on this land.
Luo Chen, whose physical fitness and Originium Arts skills are both lacking, can only secure this coveted job by passing a practical exam.
The task requires investigating the true identity of the Rat King in the lower city; the closer you get to the real Rat King, the better your score.
So Luo Chen wrote short essays online, spreading rumors and gossip about the Rat King everywhere. In less than a week, the Rat King personally visited the Guard Bureau.
My first task after joining the company was to play the role of a robber and do everything I could to disrupt the Guard Bureau's exercises.
Therefore, Luo Chen directly kidnapped the exercise's chief commander, Swire, thus ending the competition at its root.
Luo Chen was tasked with infiltrating the Reunion Movement to gather intelligence on their true intentions. He then devised a detailed plan for the Reunion Movement to seize Lungmen and forwarded it to Wei Yanwu.
……
At the press conference three years later.
"Governor Wei, the leader of the extremist group that overthrew Ursus claimed to be a Guard Bureau officer in the media yesterday. What is your opinion on this?"
Chapter 255 Vashe, I am your executioner
The 'serial disappearances of girls' case is the most heinous case in the history of Fontaine. Its symbolic significance is no less than that of the London Fog City murders, and may even be greater.
This case lasted for nearly twenty years, and its bizarre nature instilled fear in the girls of Fontainebleau, who dreaded becoming one of them.
