After hearing what Villette said, Joel looked at Finnina with expectation. For him, all his hopes now rested on Finnina.

When Karan saw Funina intervening in the case, his face turned pale, no longer as arrogant and complacent as before. However, considering that what he had done could be said to be flawless and there was no evidence left at the scene, his nervous heart calmed down.

And Alicia, who was behind Finina, saw the changes on his face clearly.

"Is there really something wrong with this guy?"

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on her, Funina felt very satisfied. She waved her hand and said excitedly.

"My dear Fontaine people, instead of listening to people arguing about ownership here, why don't we let these two donkeys tell us the answer?"

Furninna's words were like a drop of cold water splashing into hot oil, and the scene suddenly boiled over.

"What does Lady Fininna mean by letting the donkey tell us? Do you mean letting the donkey speak?"

"No, but it's impossible to make a donkey talk."

"It should be that Lady Funina can understand donkeys' speech."

"You are even more ridiculous. This is even more ridiculous than a donkey talking."

Navilette frowned as he looked at the noisy scene.

"Silence, no noise is allowed in the courtroom."

Seeing that the audience had quieted down, Villette turned her gaze back to Funina.

"Could you please tell us in detail, Ms. Funina, how can we get the donkeys to tell us who their owners are?"

So everyone present looked at Furninha expectantly, wanting to know how Furninha would make the donkey speak.

Facing everyone's gaze, Funina spoke calmly.

"Before that, I want to confirm one thing with the two parties. Mr. Yoel's donkey is used to pull goods, and Mr. Karan's donkey is used to pull the mill, right?"

"Yes, Lady Furninna, I am a porter, so my donkey has always been used to pull goods."

"My donkey is also used to pull the millstone."

After hesitating for a while, Karan decided to tell the truth. After all, this thing was not difficult to investigate, and if the lie was exposed, it would easily backfire.

"very good."

After hearing what the two said, Funina nodded with satisfaction.

"Then please ask the guards to bring the two donkeys to the court. Oh, and also bring a millstone."

"Yes! Lady Funina."

Although the guards didn't know what Funina wanted the millstone for, they still prepared it as instructed.

During the preparation time, the audience in the audience began to discuss in a low voice with the people next to them, and began to guess how Funina made the donkey speak.

Although their voices were suppressed and not loud, with so many people in the opera house, it became extremely noisy. Although Villette was a little dissatisfied with this, he did not ask the audience to be quiet.

At this time, he was also thinking about what the purpose of Furninna's stone mill was. When he thought of Furninna's previous question, he immediately understood her intention.

That Villette looked at Alicia with complicated eyes.

"It's a shame to have such wisdom and thinking ability playing around with Funinna. We have to find a way to get her involved in Fontaine's work."

Alicia, who was watching Furninna talking with a doting look, suddenly shuddered.

"What's going on? Why do I feel like someone is plotting against me?"

At this moment, Funina, who was originally standing in front of the fence, came to Alicia and spoke in a somewhat guilty tone.

"Ellie, is your method really useful? If it fails, I will be so embarrassed."

Alicia, whose thoughts were interrupted by Funina, gave her an unpleasant look.

"Don't worry, you still don't believe me? When have I ever cheated you?"

After hearing what Alicia said, Furninna, who was originally a little uneasy, finally felt relieved and returned to her confident look.

After waiting for a while, the guards finally found and moved the heavy millstone to the front of the court.

"Now that everything is ready, please ask Ms. Funina to show us how to get the donkeys to tell us who their owners are."

Seeing that everything was ready, Violet asked Funina to continue the demonstration.

"Followers of Fontaine, it is actually very simple to do this. I think you all still remember the purpose of the donkey mentioned by the two parties."

The audience in the audience responded one after another, saying they remembered.

Seeing this, Funina no longer kept it a secret and spoke to the guards.

"Then please harness the millstones to the two donkeys separately. There is no need to drive them. Their performance will tell us the answer."

Karan, who was standing in the accused seat, turned pale and his legs trembled. If he had not held the guardrail in front of him, he would have almost fallen to the ground. He had already guessed what Funina would do.

The guards put tools for pulling the mill on the donkeys one by one. The healthy donkey stood there motionless. However, when it was the sick donkey's turn, it still pulled the mill with difficulty with unstable steps even without anyone driving it.

Seeing the uproar at the scene, everyone understood what Funina was thinking.

After seeing that things were indeed developing as Alicia said, Funina felt relieved and spoke loudly in a more passionate tone.

"You are worthy of being my people, Funina. It seems that you have all figured it out. Yoel's donkey has always been used to pull goods, so it has never seen a millstone. When the tool is put on him, he will think that he is tied to the spot and will not move."

"Kalan's donkey has always been used to pull the millstone, so it is very familiar with these things. When the tools are put on it, it will work according to its previous instincts, otherwise it will be whipped."

"Therefore, there is only one truth. That is, Mr. Karan's donkey was sick, and when he found that the donkey of Youl's family was very similar to his own, he had evil thoughts. He sneaked into Youl's house at night and switched the donkeys. After returning home, he carefully observed the details of the donkey to serve as evidence in court."

After hearing Fernina's analysis, the audience applauded enthusiastically, all of them sincerely admired Fernina's wisdom, and instructed the cardinal to tip the scales in favor of Joel.

Villette did not immediately interrupt the applause from the audience. He waited for a while for the applause to subside naturally before continuing to preside over the trial.

"Mr. Karan, do you have anything to refute Ms. Funina's accusations?"

Karan, who had turned into a puddle of mud and sat on the ground, said palely.

"I...I plead guilty."

After hearing Karan's answer, the audience cheered again.
