Genshin Impact: The Glory of the Herrscher Shines on Teyvat

Chapter 66: The Serial Missing Girls Case Comes to an End

Alicia's words stunned Villette, and the audience was also in an uproar. It was true that Fontaine had the death penalty, but it had never been sentenced once, so it was in name only. Therefore, Alicia's proposal to sentence Vashet to death surprised everyone.

In fact, Alicia had carefully considered the idea of ​​proposing the death penalty for Vashie. The security environment in Fontaineland can be described as "simple and honest people", with many crimes. Even if the criminals were caught, it was hard to say that they received the punishment they deserved.

Even though they were exiled to Merobidzhan, most of them had great freedom, as if they were just living in a small society. The cost of committing crimes was low, so it was easy for them to commit crimes.

Although punishment is not the goal, without severe enough punishment there is no way to deter those with bad intentions. When Alicia was on Blue Star in her previous life, she scoffed at those who advocated abolishing the death penalty and said it was inhumane.

If we show humanity to those heinous criminals, then who will comfort the victims?

Therefore, Alicia also wanted to actually implement the death penalty system in Fontaine, to provide the highest deterrent to those who intended to commit crimes and let them think carefully.

Villette fell into deep thought. There was indeed death penalty in Fontaine's law, so it could not be said that Alicia's proposal was illegal. However, he and the Cardinal of the Decree had never imposed a sentence over the years, so he was in a dilemma.

The people in the audience also started discussing the matter. Many people did not know that there was such a thing as the death penalty in Fontaine, but there were still some people who knew about it. After discussing with each other, they had different opinions on the matter, some were for it and some were against it.

Upon seeing this, Alicia stepped forward and explained her views on the death penalty to everyone, saying that the death penalty must be used with caution, but it cannot be absent. In the end, most people agreed with Alicia's idea, but a small number of people still disagreed, but no one dared to stand up and refute it.

In fact, Alicia was more concerned about persuading the cardinal to make the decision, or more precisely, Fucaros inside. At this moment, the other party was also in a dilemma. Fucaros was kind by nature. The death penalty system was established only for the purpose of judging the water god in the future. She had never thought of sentencing ordinary people in Fontaine to death.

But Alicia's idea is not unreasonable, but it is not easy to change Fucaros's mind after so many years.

After thinking for a long time, Villette still didn't know whether to sentence the person to death, so he simply pushed it to the cardinal who made the decision. After all, all punishments ultimately depended on the result given by the cardinal.

"Regarding Miss Alicia's proposal, even I cannot make a decision at the moment. Everything will depend on the decision made by the Cardinal of the Decree."

As Villette finished speaking, the Cardinal Oracle lit up, but unlike in the past, it did not give a verdict as quickly as before. Instead, it kept flickering. Just when everyone thought that the Cardinal Oracle was broken, a ray of light flowed through the pipe, and a verdict popped out in front of Villette.

Everyone present was holding their breath waiting for the final result. They all knew that this verdict would determine whether the death penalty system would be truly implemented in the future.

After Navilet picked up the verdict and read its contents, his pupils shrank and he looked at Fernina. However, when he saw that Fernina was also looking at him nervously with her fists clenched in front of her chest, Navilet finally dispelled his doubts.

"The cardinal's ruling is that Vashé is guilty and sentenced to death!"

Fucaros finally agreed with Alicia's idea. In addition, facing the arrival of the prophecy, she also needed Alicia's power as insurance. She had witnessed the speed at which Alicia's power recovered, which was simply astonishing.

In a short period of time, she already felt that Alicia's power had surpassed her own, so she didn't want to offend Alicia. At least her original intention was good.

When the death penalty was really sentenced, the scene was completely silent. The audience members in the audience just exchanged their thoughts and feelings with each other through eye contact. Anyway, they were all full of today's big news.

"Clap clap~"

Having gotten the result she wanted, Alicia took the lead in applauding, and the confused audiences in the audience also subconsciously followed suit and applauded. This scene made people seem to think that everyone present agreed with the result of the judgment.

"Now that the verdict has come out, Mr. Villette, can you let the Shadow Chaser Court be responsible for executing it?"

Upon hearing this, Villette nodded, waved his hand and had someone take away Vashie, who had collapsed on the ground. Soon, Vashie would end his sinful life in a deserted suburb.

After everything was settled, Alicia whispered something in Funina's ear. After listening, Funina looked at Alicia with surprise.

After seeing Alicia nodded affirmatively, Funina calmed herself down, walked to the railing again, took off her hat and raised it above her head.

"People of Fontaine, the trial of Vashé has ended, but this does not mean the end of this incident. I swear that I will find a way to work with Alicia to turn these dissolved girls back to their original appearance. All the people present will witness this oath together!"

"Long live Lady Funina!"

"Long live the Water God!"

Finnina's passionate oath turned the awe that everyone had felt when they saw Finnina display her power into love and respect from the bottom of their hearts. Who wouldn't like a god who loves her people and is even willing to swear an oath in front of everyone for her?

After hearing what Funina said, the pure water elves who had been sitting in the audience excitedly kept bowing to Funina and Alicia to express their gratitude. Although Alicia had promised them before that she would turn them back into humans, it would not be possible immediately after all. They still had some doubts in their hearts and they just didn't want to give up their last hope.

But now that the water goddess Funina had personally made the promise in front of so many people, they had completely put aside their doubts and happily returned to Lujingquan, ready to wait for that moment to come.

Then Alicia asked those acts that had not yet been performed and were interrupted by the trial to continue on the stage, and then the music and dancing continued.

Although they had watched a wonderful trial before, these Fontaine people still showed the qualities of a qualified audience. They watched the subsequent performances carefully and gave warm applause from time to time.

After the last performance ended, the audience in the opera house headed for the door one after another. They were already eager to share what they had eaten today.

(Today should be the last day of single update. I will have a holiday tomorrow. I will strive for full attendance next month. I will guarantee double update at least. In addition, thank you again for the gift from the lovely girl~?, mua?)
