But Furna vouched for it in the name of the water goddess, which was enough to inspire trust.

"Look! That one!"

Funina pointed to Sedna.

“Miss Sedna is the representative sent by me and the Supreme Judge Navelette. She is here on our orders to reclaim what is rightfully yours.”

Sedna's eyes widened, and she pointed to herself, her face full of disbelief.

Have it?

All I did was pass on a message to call someone.

Seeing her like this, the captain of the guard behind Sedna quickly reached out and touched her.

"Oh, right, right, I was ordered by Lady Funina and Lady Navelette to summon the relevant person in charge." Sedna suddenly realized.

"Right, my people! Let Miss Sedna leave! Don't you trust me, the mighty Water Goddess Funina?"

The people gathered looked at each other, and then a voice came from the crowd.

"Everyone, step back a bit and leave a way for the staff of Mo Mang Palace. Don't disturb their work. After all, we just want to solve the problem. Blocking the staff of Mo Mang Palace inside won't solve anything."

Quiet discussions began to break out among the protesters, and soon people slowly backed away, making way for a passable path.

"Thank you, thank you everyone."

Sedna bowed to the gradually fading crowd in gratitude.

"Well then, Lady Funina, and everyone else, I'll go and summon them now!"

"Hmm, well done. Go on, you're truly one of my capable subordinates!"

Funina maintained her smile and gave Sedna a thumbs up.

The people gathered in front of the Mo Mang Palace looked at Fu Ningna's familiar smile and posture, and for some reason, they felt a sense of peace, and their mood gradually calmed down.

"My loyal and wise people, look! The Mo Mang Palace has already taken action. As long as we begin to act, everything will be alright!"

After calming the crowd in front of the Mo Mang Palace, Funina returned to the palace.

He closed the door, leaned against the wall, let out a long sigh, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Funina."

Furnessa looked up and saw that Navelette had walked from her office into the hall.

Navelette hadn't expected that even without his presence, even if it was just Sedna going out, it would cause such a huge reaction.

It seems the situation is more urgent than he imagined.

This must be resolved as soon as possible; otherwise, things may change.

However, he is still searching for a solution. Even if he appears in public and attracts people's attention, he still cannot give an answer.

It's hard to predict how the panicked public will react when they see him in person and can't give him a proper answer, or give him a perfunctory one.

That's why Fulina was brought out first to try and appease the public.

If all else fails, he can personally intervene.

Fortunately, Funina succeeded.

"Oh dear, what's so difficult about this? I am the mighty Water God. With me here, calming the people down is a piece of cake, isn't it? Hahaha."

Although he was very pleased with Navelette's gratitude, he still wouldn't admit it aloud.

He even waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care.

Navelette shook her head and said nothing more.

Anyway, this guy's behavior has been going on for more than just a day or two.

"Next, we'll see if we can find a suitable method. If not..."

So, no matter what, he had to make a decision.

Before long, the people outside the Momo Palace watched as Sedna led a group of people into the Momo Palace.

In the crowd, someone asked in confusion, "Huh? That's strange, why is it Inazuma-no-hime?"

"Inazuma-hito?"

"Yes, I saw these people at the factory before. They came to our factory to discuss business. I heard that those robots were their work. Could it be..."

"Oh, so it was them!"

After Funina calmed these people down, the commotion around Mo Mang Palace subsided.

Although people are still gathered here, they are no longer chanting protest slogans.

People simply stood there quietly, holding banners, waiting for news.

Now that people have learned that the "culprit" is right here, there is a slight commotion among the people around.

Immediately, someone stepped forward.

The guards watched this scene with their hearts in their throats once again.

However, the person next to him reached out and pulled him back.

"Don't rush. They've entered the Momo Palace now. Didn't Miss Sedna say that Lord Vilette was summoning the relevant people in charge? Doesn't this match up? Let's wait for more news."

"Too."

After thinking about it, it seems there's really no need to act impulsively right now.

Inside the Momo Palace, considering the urgency of the situation, Navelette skipped the tedious formalities and got straight to the point.

However, they also didn't know how Haizhi Island handled the relationship between humans and machines.

"I understand your concerns. Please rest assured that we will remember your help in resolving our current predicament. I will instruct all levels of the Fontainebleau organization to do its best to assist your work, provided that it does not violate Fontainebleau's laws and regulations."

Navelette took the working group's denials as an attempt to inflate the price, believing that his offer was insufficient.

"Lady Villette, we really don't know how Headquarters handles the relationship between humans and robots."

The head of the working group explained to Navelette with a helpless expression.

"When we left Haizhi Island, there was nothing there at all. The people there were so poor that they could barely afford pants. In the meantime, we've only heard about some changes on Haizhi Island. For example, we know that robots have been put into use, but we don't really know the specifics of how they're being used."

Chapter 157 Complex and Contradictory

The terms offered by Navelette were considered very good by them.

The biggest problem they faced after arriving in Fontainebleau was dealing with bureaucratic wrangling at all levels. There were so many procedures and formalities, and what should have been a matter of a few seconds to look at and stamp often took ten days to half a month to resolve.

Having the support of the Supreme Judge Navilette, who would give the green light and shorten unnecessary time, was undoubtedly extremely convenient.

The problem is, they genuinely don't know.

Navelette looked at the people in front of her and fell silent.

Based on his years of experience, he felt that these people were not lying to inflate prices.

"May I ask you any questions about this matter?"

After thinking it over, Vilette decided to change direction.

Since they don't know, they can always contact those who do.

"It's possible, but it will take us at least five days to get the message to Liyue Harbor, and at least ten days to receive a definite reply. Given the current situation outside..."

Let alone two weeks, if it's not handled properly in two days, it could get out of control.

"As far as I know, haven't you already laid communication cables with Liyue? If I remember correctly, I specifically approved this matter to expedite its processing."

"That's absolutely right. Your approval has greatly accelerated our approval process, and we are very grateful. However, the workers have been unable to concentrate on their work recently, and the cable laying is not progressing quickly. They have even gone on strike now."

Navelette sighed softly.

A reference answer is not something we can expect anytime soon.

"I understand. Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to come. Once the current unrest subsides, I will immediately inform all levels of the Fontaine organization to provide you with as much assistance as possible."

Although I didn't get the answer I wanted, it was just a small favor, nothing to brag about, consider it as making a friend.

"Thank you very much. We assure you that we will use all available channels to obtain the relevant information in the shortest possible time and deliver it to you personally."

After bidding farewell to Navelette, the group left the Momo Palace under Sedna's guidance.

The people gathered outside Mo Mang Palace watched as this group of women from the Rice Village entered Mo Mang Palace and left less than ten minutes later.

Those in the front row who could see the situation clearly began to whisper among themselves.

"What's going on? Could it be that we've returned empty-handed after such a short time?"

"I do not know."

"Miss Sedna, how is she?"

Someone shouted loudly at Sedna as she returned to the Momo Palace.

"Gentlemen, Lord Vilette had a cordial and friendly conversation with the other party. The talks were very fruitful, and we have already made progress in resolving your requests."

Having learned from her previous experience, this time Sedna simply picked up a small megaphone and calmly delivered messages that, regardless of the circumstances, would effectively soothe people's hearts.

"Great!"

A cheer erupted from the protesting crowd.

We've already made progress in just ten minutes, so the problem can be solved very quickly.

It was worth it for them to stay here for so long.

Inside the Momo Palace, Funina, who knows the truth, presents a completely different and distinct image.

"Huh?! You mean there's absolutely no progress?"

Funina's pupils trembled.

Their current methods of appeasing people are always just treating the symptoms, not the root cause.
