Vampire Princess's Anime Journey

Chapter 160 Fontaine

Ganyu got what she wanted, and Alicia was satisfied.

"Can you please calm down...wait! We've got the wrong place!"

Realizing that the position was wrong and slightly upwards, Xin Su was startled and quickly reminded loudly.

"Are you sure?" Ai Li slid her fingertips, her tone seemed a bit bad: "Isn't it great to try something new?"

His heart was pounding and he felt it was a bit difficult to bear. Xin Su's face almost turned pale with fright. He tried desperately to break free from Gan Yu's restraints.

"Wait! Wait..."

Before the voice fell, a fierce attack suddenly came.

Xin Su, who was kneeling on the bed, was in so much pain that she lost her voice. She buried her head in the quilt and her eyes almost turned white.

He opened his mouth as if to shout, but no sound came out.

This is just the beginning.

Xin Su didn't know how she survived the night. She only knew that she climbed down a few times, and just when her hands touched the carpet, she was pulled back roughly by her legs.

The next morning, Xin Su limped out of the room, her eyes dull, and she kept pouring water from the teapot into her mouth.

He didn't even notice that water was flowing out of the corners of his mouth.

The others also got up, and were puzzled when they saw Xin Su had difficulty moving and his clothes seemed to be wet from the heavy rain.

"Su...did you sprain your ankle? And did you twist your waist?" Liuying came over and supported Xinsu's shoulders.

"foot......"

Xin Su smiled as if she was crying, and her eyes were a little dazed.

Seeing Xin Su like a puppet, several people opened their mouths, not knowing how to comfort her. After all, they didn't know what had happened, and in the end they could only shake their heads.

After breakfast, we sent the others back.

Before leaving, I drank a lot of water.

Returning to Fontaine again, stepping on the solid land, feeling the cool sea breeze and the bright sunshine.

After a long rest along the way, I finally recovered and took a track patrol boat back to Fontaine.

Fontaine was prosperous, but only prosperous.

Beneath the land are sewers where the lower class people live.

There were no beggars because they were driven downstairs, and the nobles did not want such a scene to destroy the beauty of the city.

Gray and poor, this is the world below, which can also be called the Gray River.

Xin Su withdrew his gaze from below and then looked towards Mo Mang Palace.

Then Villette might know, and maybe even Funina... Forget it, after all, he would not tell her about Fontaine.

There are no waste newspapers on the road as garbage because they are all transported to the bottom.

It was not until this moment that I realized that the trial mechanism was a performance rather than a fair trial, and that Fontaine’s so-called justice was distorted.

It can also be seen from the structure and historical background of Fontaine Court that the class contradictions in Fontaine are extremely serious, and Funina's "debut" itself is a way to eliminate social contradictions.

The poor Gray River and the upper class aristocrats who are so rich that they do nothing, the lower class cares about reality and survival, while the upper class only cares about fun.

He averted his gaze and turned his eyes to a man who took a bite of bread and threw it into the trash can.

And the trash can... maybe it can't even be called a bucket, because it's like a pipe that goes straight downwards.

So where will the bread go? It's obvious.

Forget it. For me and for us, how can we possibly point at their faces and say you are really bad people?

Such a class...is like the weak venting violence on the weaker ones to satisfy their vanity.

When I think of this, Zhidong, Alechino, and Hearth House take care of a group of children who are abandoned, left behind, and unable to solve the problem of food and clothing.

It seems...Zhidong is a good place to absorb people with hard lives.

Except some of the executives are really bad.

I didn’t think so when I first came to Fontaine, but now that my Ren and Du meridians have been opened, my mind is much clearer.

No one can decide other people's choices, not even the gods above.

So, why should I ask for trouble?

"You discovered it too, right?" Columbia stood beside Xin Su and spoke softly.

Xin Su nodded, then bought a piece of bread and put it in her mouth: "The top is like a sweet dream, the bottom is like a nightmare. Although I have never been there, it is not difficult to guess that it is not easy for people below to come up."

"Do you think our Zhidong is actually pretty good?" Columbia spoke again.

"I never said that Zhidong is bad. Everyone is like brothers and sisters, and their personalities are the same. It's just that some executives are not good people, so there are rumors that the Fatui are bad guys."

The bread is soft and sweet, and such delicious bread does not contain any other ingredients.

After taking the last bite, he put his fingers into his mouth and sucked them reluctantly, as if he didn't want to let go of even the slightest taste of the bread.

It also seems like a helpless self-mockery between two worlds.

After all, I am also a beneficiary, and the money in Northland Bank is not so clean.

Even though I have killed so many people, I will not act like a victim.

I bought some more bread and returned to the Hearth House, where I met Alecino.

"Bread? Haha... Would you like to try the bread we made?" Alechino seemed to smile as she looked at the bread.

In just a moment, he quickly turned into a cold and arrogant look.

"Servant, do you know what the first food I ate was?" Xin Su stared at the bread in front of her, picked up a piece, tore off a little, squeezed it into a ball and put it into her mouth.

"Food? Shouldn't the first thing a child consumes be breast milk?" Alechino was a little puzzled.

But when I thought about the rumors about Xinsu, I seemed to understand a little bit, after all, Xinsu was not a human being.

As if feeling that a little bit of bread thrown into his mouth could not satisfy his appetite, Xin Su opened his mouth and took a bite.

"Yes, it tastes so delicious, just like clouds. I will probably never forget this delicious feeling. The first time I tasted it, I felt like the happiest child in the world."

Perhaps understanding what Xin Su meant, Alechino sat on the other side of the sofa, crossed his legs and put his hands on his knees, his face changed a little: "Have you seen that place?"

"Not yet." Xin Su shook her head.

Hearing this, Alechino picked up the bread, with a different emotion in his eyes.

"This deformed world, this hiding like a mouse. Redemption, some people say that the morning sun is very warm, the sunlight is not dazzling at all, and the morning light is so beautiful.

But for me, the warm sunshine is not blinding, shining on me, telling me all the time that the disgusting life before was...

After saying this, Alechino licked his lips and swallowed the very soft bread.

Then she continued: "The bread is delicious, just like the bread I tasted before. I even thought that it would be nice if I could eat one, no, half a bread every day.

I tasted the delicious bread, but I still thought back to my dark life. Redemption, you are a good child, so stay in the bright and beautiful world."

These words were already said in a very subtle way, and I could understand what she meant.

Just like a big tree, if you want to thrive, the roots must spread endlessly downwards to touch and absorb.

There is no need to show malice in front of me.

All I have to do is put in some effort and complete the task.

"Well, seriously, how desperate have you been to say such a thing? I don't pity you, nor will I be unfair to your life. I respect you very much, and even think you are great."

Even great enough to become the legendary "adult".

A person is not called an adult just because he or she has grown up physically. Only when one has experienced a lot can one be called an adult.

Fengdanting, Momang Palace.

In a rather spacious office filled with all kinds of documents, a man was leaning back in his chair, rubbing his sore eyes with his hands.

After a while, he heard hurried footsteps outside and shook his head gently.

boom--

The door of the office was roughly pushed open, and a white-haired girl with heterochromatic eyes walked in.

She slammed her hands on the table, her face excited: "Missed me? Then Mr. Villette!"

Hearing the voice, Navillatte shook his head, reached for the tea beside him and said, "Ms. Funina, why are you happier than usual after going out? Or do you want to tell me what happened after you went out?"

"You mean outside? Haha! How do you know I had a lot of fun this time?! I guess you must want to go out and play too! Hey, do you still want to know how Su protected me?!"

Villette held his forehead with a headache, and even wondered in his heart whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to let Funina go.

At least he was a normal person before he went out, and after he came back... let's talk about what happened before he went out.

When he wanted to stop something, Furninna had already started chattering non-stop, so he could only hold the teacup and listen carefully to what happened after she left.

The demon god that appeared in Liyue, Inazuma's lockdown order, and the great sage of Xumi died, and the executive officer's [skirmishers] were also eliminated.

The first three didn't matter, but the last one made him a little interested. The executives would kill each other.

This is the point.

Among the ten sentences, seven or eight were related to Li Su, and he finally picked out some information.

Simply put, the collection of God's Heart has come here.

"Ah, then Mr. Villette, see you next time. I have an appointment with Su to go to the Oprykle Opera House together!"

After saying this, Finina ran away like the wind, leaving Navilette alone in the office with a helpless expression.

The Heart of God?... That's quite troublesome. If the prophecy is resolved, he does not recommend sending the Heart of God away, because then the Fatui will not take any subsequent action.

But the problem is that he still needs the Heart of God and the energy inside it for emergencies.

The Oprykle Opera House is a magnificent performance hall where one can not only perform on the stage but also gain fame and applause.

It is also a symbol of judgment and verdict.

Some people say that the world is just a performance and all living beings are just actors on the stage.

Looking at the serial number in his hand and finding the corresponding position, Xin Su leaned back on the backrest and looked up at Funina above.

The latter smiled and waved.

Maybe it's a weekday today, or maybe we came too early, so there aren't many people around.

After a while, as Villette walked towards the cardinal who was in charge of the oracle, more and more people came.

I also saw what judgment was.

After watching it closely, I found that the Cardinal of the Oracle seemed to have self-awareness and could accurately judge all crimes.

As Furninna explained, the Oracle and the Supreme Inquisitor listened to the speeches of both sides, and the Law Compensation Mixed Energy, which provided energy to Fontaine, was produced in this process.

The speeches of both parties, the agents' defense, the testimony of witnesses, and the emotions of the audience will all be displayed on the oracle.

After both parties have finished speaking, the Supreme Judge will make the final decision, and his opinion will also serve as a reference for the Oracle.

Finally, the officials ask the oracle, and the result it gives is the will of justice.

To be honest, it feels quite child's play.

It is better to impose the death penalty directly.

After the end, Xin Su did not leave, but looked at the machine thoughtfully, and could not help but lower his brows in thought.

"It feels like... I have a lot of power stored..."

"Su! Don't you think this performance is great?"

Finina's voice rang out from the high platform, and even Navilette, who was standing above the Cardinal of the Oracle, was holding a scepter and staring at Xin Su below.

Xin Su, who had come back to his senses after hearing the voice, asked in confusion, "Ah...um, why not the death penalty?"

Fernina/Navilette: "..."

The latter coughed lightly, took a few steps forward and put his hand on the guardrail: "There is no such thing as the death penalty in Fontaine."

"Okay, today's performance is indeed something I have never seen before. It seems pretty good." Xin Su nodded and became more concerned about the death penalty.

Of course, if I ask Funina or Violet, they probably won't tell me.

So, after returning to the Hearth House at night, he found his old acquaintance from Fontaine, Alechino.

"You ask why there is no death penalty in Fontaine?" Alechino looked at Xinsu with some surprise. Although she didn't understand, she still explained it.

"If Fontaine had the death penalty, many people would not dare to commit crimes, and there would be fewer trials. The amount of legal compensation energy accumulated by Fontaine would also be reduced, and it would be impossible to maintain the operation of the entire Fontaine.

The fact that Fontaine does not have the death penalty has increased the crime rate.

By the way, I think the reason why the Gray River problem has not been dealt with for hundreds of years is to increase the crime rate so as to obtain legal compensation through trials. The poorer the general public, the higher the crime rate.
