Chapter 377 Punishment
Fontaine, Opéra Opécle.
The magnificent circular tiered chairs were neatly arranged. Under the circular light from the ceiling, the people on the tiered chairs were wearing all kinds of clothes, some gorgeous, some simple, but there was an lingering excitement in their eyes.
At this moment, the expression of Navillaette standing in the courtroom kept changing. He had a connection with something and knew the reasons behind it all. The feeling of lending power was very strange and benefited him a lot.
"This method of lending power over a long distance is really incredible. It actually requires the consent of the user before the power can be borrowed. However, this can also be considered a fair transaction contract.
Moreover, the underlying logic is still connected by elemental forces, and the power of the person who declares his true name or title assists. If I could not clearly sense that the other party is just a mortal, I would have suspected that it was a magic developed by Morax. "
“However, judging from the fleeting scene, the young man is indeed from Morax’s side, but why is he in the closed-off country of Inazuma? Could it be that Morax wants to intervene?
But how could a mortal know my identity as an incomplete dragon? Even if the identity of the Inquisitor could be easily investigated, it would not be possible to be so specific. "
Navilette kept analyzing the various details after Ye Li conveyed the contract, trying to infer the situation that would be beneficial to himself and the entire Fontaine, but eventually gave up and could only wait until people came to Fontaine to ask.
After all, the boy's temperament was very mysterious, and intervening in the affairs of the gods was not what he wanted. After all, he had not yet become a complete dragon and did not have the confidence.
Even if he became a perfect dragon, he would not interfere in the national politics of other countries that were governed by the gods, because that was not what he wanted.
While Villette was still thinking, a cheerful and confident voice came from the seat of God above the court:
"Then Villette, as the god of justice, Fukaros, I should remind you that the trial is about to start, and the people below can't wait for this show."
"I'm sorry, Ms. Funina, I was distracted just now. The trial of the defendant Cross will begin now."
……
Inazuma, Yamashima Island, in the woods on the south side.
Sparse raindrops fell from the sky one by one. At this moment, Zheping, who was in the grass in the woods behind, saw the sky suddenly become foggy. He was overjoyed and took out the crossbow with a thruster without hesitation and shot the arrow with the entanglement.
With a whoosh, silver light streaked across the falling raindrops, passed through the gaps between the big trees and branches at an extremely fast speed, and directly hit the legs of the conference room table in the tent in the woods. It can be said that it was extremely accurate.
Saburo Ito was a little confused. Looking at the arrow at the foot of the table and the letter on it, his face suddenly became solemn. He reached out and took out the letter very carefully. After opening it, he felt happy and helpless.
The special mark used by the messenger was unique to the resistance army, and even the shogunate army would find it difficult to imitate. Moreover, it was mixed with letters he had written before, which undoubtedly proved a point and made him completely relieved.
After reading the contents of the letter, Ito Saburoshin seriously greeted the deputy general who was watching the rain excitedly outside the tent:
"Let the brothers who are observing in the front retreat first. The shogunate army will not attack forcefully at the moment. When the rain stops, let some brothers who have rested enough go over and keep watch."
"Understood, Captain Ito."
The deputy general didn't waste any time and immediately asked some brothers outside who had rested enough to call the people outside the woods to come back and rest so that they wouldn't have to keep an eye on the actions of the shogunate army all the time.
On the other side, the shogunate army stationed on the plain outside was also in chaos, but it was quickly stabilized by Kujo Gyūzan.
The drizzle turned into heavy rain in just a few dozen minutes. The splashing water hit the soil, making it wet and forming small puddles.
Zheping returned to the top of the mountain in the pouring rain. At this time, Ye Li had already set up a roof to resist the impact of the rain. At the same time, looking at Zheping who had become a drowned chicken at the foot of the mountain, he smiled and said:
"Look, God is helping us. It rains just as I say it will. It's really rare."
"Perhaps Mr. Ye Li is extremely lucky, and perhaps the Rock King Emperor did this because he liked him."
"Alright, alright, you've learned how to joke around now. Come in and hide for a while. We have to go out and get help soon."
Zheping smiled and said nothing. The feeling of being sticky all over was indeed not very good, so he immediately ran into the ceiling and began to tidy up his clothes.
Ye Li ignored what Zhe Ping was saying. He just fumbled around with the map in his hand and finally drew a route on a piece of white paper. It was the shortest straight line between two points, but it required cutting down trees, which Ye Li could do easily.
The dense rain like a waterfall fell from the sky for half an hour. Mudslides occurred on some unstable hills, blocking part of the terrain, but it gradually decreased and stopped after a few minutes.
The dry earth was moistened by the rain, and drops of water were dripping from the green leaves. At this moment, Ye Li and Zhe Ping began to move forward along the route they had drawn before. The former kept chopping trees with a sword, and the latter used the former's tools to destroy the traces of the road to prevent anyone from following them.
Although Zheping knew that Ye Li's approach was very cautious, the forest was extremely moist and no one would be so idle as to get themselves wet.
The thought of complaining flashed through Zheping's mind, but he finally gave up thinking and began to destroy all traces along the way, striving for safety first.
……
Narukami Island, Inazuma Castle, outside the castle tower.
The majestic hall is stacked layer upon layer, with a height of more than 50 meters. It was built by successive skilled craftsmen of Inazuma. It is mixed with architectural concepts from Liyue, and it does not lose its grandeur and scale. It is also extremely beautiful when viewed from thousands of meters away.
At this time, on a staircase that was more than 30 meters long, Kujo Takayuki was lying on the stairwell like a tired dog, looking at the sun hanging high in the sky. The dazzling sunlight, like the cold eyes directed at him, made him feel particularly scared.
Because he knew that he was late and missed the time set by the general for him. There was still some room for easing the situation if he ran away now. If he ran away, there would be only two results: imprisonment or death.
There was no other way. For the sake of his own life, Kujo Takayuki still came to the main gate of the castle tower. Seeing the expressionless face of the guard who was usually respectful to him, he felt annoyed. But in the end, he said with a deflated smile:
"Guard Jiujiu, please inform the general that Kujo Takayuki has arrived."
The gatekeeper called Jiujiu bowed in a very formal manner, then stepped aside to let the other party enter the gate, and pointed towards the main hall of the castle tower and said:
"Kujo Takayuki, you've kept the general waiting for a long time. It will probably be about ten minutes. The general will decide on the appropriate punishment."
Kujo Takayuki looked very miserable, so he had no choice but to lower his head and run into the gate. He then climbed several ladders that were more than ten meters high and finally arrived at the gate of the main hall of the castle tower. After nodding to the guard at the gate, he entered.
General Lei Dian sat cross-legged on the futon, looking at Jiu Tiao Xing who walked into the main hall with a cold expression, and said in a light tone:
"Kujo Takayuki, since you did not come at the appointed time, your task will be handed over to Kujo Sara. I am now asking you to come here to announce the punishment. 70% of your income tax will be distributed to the shrine magistrate and Narujin Taisha. Do you have any complaints?"
"I am willing to obey the orders of the general. I have no complaints. May the general live forever."
The terrifying pressure broke Kujo Takayuki's spine, and he fell to his knees on the ground, prostrating himself on the ground, in the classic Dogeza posture.
