Chapter 6 - Chapter 7 Court Trial

Before Lin Qiu left, he left his address with Navia so she could find him easily.

If Lin Qiu needed to find Navia, he only had to go to this Spina di Rosula branch.

Someone would notify Navia.

Navia also settled Lin Qiu's fortune-telling fee, directly giving Lin Qiu one hundred thousand Mora.

Adding that to Lin Qiu's salary for this month, which was also one hundred thousand Mora, he now had a bit of money.

This salary was not much different from what Lin Qiu earned at Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.

Speaking of which, those twenty thousand Mora could even be considered to have come from Marcel (Washer).

Now, there were not many citizens left who supported Spina di Rosula, and Marcel had instead become the main source of funds.

If you have money, why bother with fortune-telling? fortune-telling? What a load of crap!

Lin Qiu took the money and directly took a cruise ship to Opera Epiclese.

"It's so big?" Lin Qiu couldn't help but exclaim after entering Opera Epiclese.

It didn't seem small in the game, but in reality, it was ridiculously large.

It truly lived up to its reputation as the largest opera house in Fontaine.

Lin Qiu found his seat and waited for the judgment to begin.

Judgments held here were usually not minor matters.

His gaze swept around, and looking up, Lin Qiu spotted a blue figure.

The dark blue main body of the dress and hat gave off a deep-sea feeling, profound and solitary.

But the white of the dress and hair became the sunlight adorning the deep sea, pulling one out of loneliness, adding a touch of cheerfulness and generosity to the deep sea's solitude.

The bows on the dress and hat added a few more touches of Damselette's cuteness.

Furina was indeed here, still looking forward to that grand judgment that would end everything.

"Fufu." Lin Qiu saw Furina.

It was as if she sensed Lin Qiu's call.

Or perhaps she felt someone staring at her, and Furina's gaze darted towards Lin Qiu.

She was always sensitive to gazes, but because she attended almost every judgment.

People in the opera house were almost accustomed to Furina's presence.

Now, few people would stare at her continuously, so after feeling Lin Qiu's 'burning' gaze, she looked over curiously.

"Is that the novelist who just arrived in Fontaine?"

Furina's intelligence network almost covered all of Teyvat, so Lin Qiu's arrival in Fontaine naturally couldn't escape her eyes.

She even knew everything that happened this morning, and that Lin Qiu was taken away by Navia.

She just didn't know what the two had secretly discussed, and her spies couldn't follow too obviously.

Lin Qiu also noticed Furina's gaze and smiled politely as a greeting.

Furina first instinctively nodded in a somewhat silly response.

The next moment, she lifted her pale neck like a proud white swan.

Although Furina's gaze no longer looked at Lin Qiu at this moment, she was still thinking about Lin Qiu in her mind.

"A fortune-teller? I wonder if he can tell me a way to break the prophecy?"

"Probably not. I've been searching for so many years and never had a glimmer of hope. I can only trust the me in the mirror."

Her thoughts were a bit negative, but Furina, like Navia, was a strong and unyielding person.

Even if she felt the hope was slim, Furina still wanted to find an opportunity to ask Lin Qiu.

However, unlike Navia, as a god, she couldn't casually meet a foreigner.

At least there had to be a reason; Lin Qiu wasn't a diplomat or a celebrity.

Unless Furina sought out Lin Qiu in a private capacity, but for a nation's god to meet an ordinary foreigner in a private capacity, it didn't align with the image Furina had always portrayed.

"If only his reputation were greater." Furina sighed.

If Lin Qiu were a famous person, it would be much more reasonable for her as a god to meet him.

Lin Qiu didn't know what Furina was thinking. He wanted to help Furina, but first, his current strength didn't allow it.

Even if he had the strength now, it would be somewhat difficult for him to meet Furina given his status.

No matter how silly Furina might seem, or how much she resembled a mascot, she was still a nation's god and not easily met privately.

If he were to forcefully meet Furina with power, he might even scare little Fufu, as she was actually very fragile.

So the best way was still for Furina to take the initiative to meet him.

What Lin Qiu didn't know was that Furina was also trying to find a way to meet him; it was a mutual journey, so to speak.

No matter what Lin Qiu and Furina were thinking, the judgment would proceed as scheduled.

Neuvillette's staff tapped the ground, and a cold, solemn voice echoed throughout the hall, "Silence!"

The hall fell silent. Neuvillette's words were like a director shouting 'Action!'

A judgment thus began like a play.

Court trial, activate!

The case was not complicated. The accuser accused the suspect of murder, with some evidence.

The scales were tipping towards the accuser.

"Can we pronounce the verdict now?"

"This judgment is boring, no twists at all."

"Exactly, the culprit isn't even a serial killer, it feels lacking."

"If there was a twist now, where the suspect produced evidence proving the accuser was the murderer and was slandering him, that would be much more interesting."

The people around discussed animatedly, and Lin Qiu's emotion value was slowly rising.

Aside from the characters with names, appearances, and storylines in allogene, other characters could only provide Lin Qiu with a very limited amount of emotion value.

That's why Lin Qiu came to Fontaine, intending to win by quantity.

The judgment did not change due to the audience's expectations; the scales continued to tip towards the accuser.

Finally, Neuvillette pronounced the verdict based on the results given by the Oratrice Mecanique D'analyse Cardinale — 'Guilty'.

'Gained Emotion Value: 100'

'Emotion Source: Furina'

'Emotion Content: Again… How long has it been? Hasn't it arrived yet?'

Hearing the system prompt, Lin Qiu glanced in Furina's direction.

She was propping her face with one hand, crossing her legs, as if she didn't care about this judgment.

However, her long, wave-like white hair obscured her beautiful heterochromatic eyes.

People couldn't see the emotional changes in her eyes.

She knew hope was slim, but every time before a judgment began, she couldn't help but anticipate.

Was this judgment the grand judgment she had been waiting for?

Unfortunately, repeated expectations only led to repeated disappointments.

"Boring." Furina stood up and left without looking back.

Clorinde followed silently behind Furina.

Seeing Furina leave, Lin Qiu also had no intention of staying here any longer.

All in all, this trip was quite fruitful; ever since he came to Fontaine, emotion value had been pouring in.

Especially Navia, she was truly a good girl, providing the bulk of Lin Qiu's emotion value.

Lin Qiu was even considering whether to give Navia some rewards.

For example, tell her that Melus and Silver were still protecting her after turning into pure water spirits?

After leaving Opera Epiclese, Lin Qiu's emotion value was almost at 1000 points.

Once he had 1000 emotion points, Lin Qiu could exchange for an element power, thus possessing initial strength.

"Please wait." A voice sounded behind Lin Qiu.
