Chapter 118 Fukaros is attacked
Looking at Villette's slightly depressed figure standing in front of Cares' tomb, Conan asked curiously, "Mr. Villette, do you know Mr. Cares?"
"Well..." Navilette glanced at Cares' tombstone and continued, "Mr. Cares is a respectable man who has made many contributions to Fontaine... I know what just happened. Thank you for your efforts to clear Cares's grievances."
"No way, this is what we should do..." Everyone felt a little embarrassed for a moment when being praised by someone who looked so serious.
However, no one expected that Villette would have such a personality. Judging from his appearance, everyone thought that he was difficult to approach, but after chatting for a few minutes, they found that he was quite approachable. He would also be sad and unhappy about some things, and was not as cold as imagined.
During the conversation, the matter of prophecy came up.
Speaking of this, Villette sighed and said, "When I learned about the water of the primordial fetal sea, I connected it with the prophecy. I also know something about the prophecy. I once found several stone tablets in the ancient ruins of Baisong Town, on which were engraved pictures about the prophecy."
"What is engraved on the stone slab?" everyone asked.
Navilette: "The main content is the same as the prophecy, but there is a stone tablet engraved with the former water goddess Egolia kneeling on the ground with her face to the sky, as if she is confessing her sin, but I don't know why she is confessing her sin."
Huiyuan was a little shocked: "The previous generation of the God of Water?! Can gods die?!"
Conan: "So Fukaros is the second generation water god?"
Navilette ignored the children's interruptions and explained, "Gods will naturally die. Nothing is eternal and unchanging. Everything will be vulnerable to the erosion of time. As for Ms. Fucaros, she is indeed the second generation water god. Before her death, the first generation water god Egolia passed on the power and duties of the water god to Ms. Fucaros. Not long after Ms. Fucaros inherited the position of water god, she found me and suggested that I take the position of the highest judge of Fontaine. I did not refuse."
Zhu Xing looked a little strange and asked, "How did the first generation water god choose his successor? Did she choose the wrong person? I heard that the water god was very happy to enjoy all the farces in the court and never missed a trial. Is the leader of a country so idle?"
Jiang Shou and Kikukawa were also a little confused. After all, they were the second or third generation of politicians and economists, and most of the time they saw the busy figures of those in power at home. But now they only dared to wonder in their hearts, and they were very impressed that Zhu Xing dared to ask in person.
Violet didn't care about the child's somewhat offensive question, and still answered with a mild temper: "Ms. Fucaros is never as superficial as she appears. In fact, as far as I know, Ms. Fucaros has also been mobilizing various forces to conduct some kind of investigation. I guess it should be an investigation into the prophecy."
"Based on the information on the stone tablet, I guess the previous water god should know about the prophecy. But I also asked Fukalos about the previous water god before. The strange thing is that she claimed that she didn't know any news about the previous water god, and she didn't do anything after sending people to investigate the prophecy... I know she is hiding a secret, but she has always refused to communicate with me about related matters, and I can't force her to speak."
Has Fukalos been investigating the prophecy? Seeing her heartless appearance before, everyone thought she really didn't care about the prophecy.
But since he cared about the prophecy, why didn't he tell everyone what he knew? After all, judging from the pictures carved on the stone slabs of the ruins, the former water goddess Egolia must have known about the prophecy, and Fukaros, who was entrusted with the throne by her before her death, couldn't have been unaware of it. So why hide it? With more people and more power, maybe we can find a way to solve the prophecy.
No one could understand the logic behind Fucaros's actions, so they could only put the question aside and think about it later.
Seeing that Villette was approachable, everyone chatted with him and the girl for a while before saying goodbye.
Perhaps the children's childish words comforted Villette, and Villette's mood improved. As if echoing his mood, the rain gradually stopped as Villette's mood improved. When everyone said goodbye, it was no longer raining, and the sun was faintly visible in the sky.
Fortunately, the rain had stopped, and it didn't take too much time for everyone to return to the vicinity of Lujing Spring.
Tomorrow is the time for the court showdown. We don’t know if time will speed up today. In order to prevent accidents that prevent us from making it to tomorrow’s trial, everyone unanimously decided to go to the Oprykle Opera House to find a place to organize the clues collected in the past few days, while waiting for tomorrow’s trial to arrive.
At this time, the sun was setting and the sky was gradually getting darker. By the time we arrived near the Oprykle Opera House, the sun had already set completely.
Since there was no trial today, there were almost no people around the Oprykle Opera House.
Suddenly, everyone heard some vague voices coming from the corner ahead. Everyone was a little nervous for a moment, walked slowly to the corner with light steps, and quietly stuck their heads out to check the situation.
It turned out that it was Fucaros who was playing with stray cats.
At this moment, she did not have the flamboyant manners and exaggerated speech that everyone had seen before. The way she patiently fed stray cats with snacks was like an ordinary little girl. People who did not know her would definitely not be able to associate her with the water god.
Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief and realized that he was not a suspicious person and were about to go out to say hello, the real suspicious person appeared.
Before everyone could react, a tall woman wearing a black cloak covering her face appeared behind Fucaros. Under everyone's surprised gaze, she slowly took out her weapon and prepared to attack Fucaros. At this time, Fucaros was still concentrating on feeding the stray cats, as if he was completely unaware of the danger behind him.
At this time, everyone was not too worried. After all, Fukaros was a water god after all, and he must have the ability to protect himself. The children were even a little curious about how gods fight, and whether the fight makes a lot of noise...
But to everyone's surprise, Fukalos did not fight with the suspicious person. She finally realized the danger behind her through the stray cat's screaming and running away. She turned around and saw the suspicious person slowly raising the sickle in his hand. She screamed and fell to the ground.
