"I understand. Thank you for taking the time to come here. Once the current unrest subsides, I will immediately inform all levels of Fontaine institutions to assist you as much as possible."
Although I didn't get the answer I wanted, it was just a small favor and not worth mentioning. I'll just consider it as making a friend.
"Thank you very much. We assure you that we will use all channels to obtain the relevant information in the shortest possible time and submit it to you personally."
After saying goodbye to Navilette, the working group left Momang Palace under the guidance of Sedna.
The people gathered outside the Momang Palace watched this group of Daozu people enter the Momang Palace, and leave the Momang Palace in less than ten minutes.
Those in the front row who could see the situation clearly began to whisper.
"What's going on? In such a short time, we won't return empty-handed, right?"
"I do not know."
"Ms. Sedna, what's going on?"
Someone shouted directly to Sedna who was returning to Momang Palace.
"Everyone, Lord Villette had a cordial and friendly conversation with the other party. The talks were very beneficial. We have already found a solution to your demands."
With the experience from last time, this time Sedna just held a small loudspeaker and said calmly some information that could effectively calm people's hearts.
"Great!"
There was a burst of cheers from the protesting crowd.
It's only been ten minutes and we've got some clues. Doesn't that mean it can be solved quickly?
It's worth it that they stayed here for so long.
Inside the Momang Palace, Funina, who knew the real situation, had a completely different look from the others.
"Eh! You mean, there is no progress at all?"
Funina's pupils trembled.
The methods they use now to appease people are always only temporary solutions and not the root cause.
If the problem is not solved in time, there will be a greater backlash when the truth can no longer be hidden.
"What should we do? Villette, you better think of a solution!"
That Villette felt helpless about the noisy Fernina.
"Ms. Funina, don't panic. Although I haven't found the best solution, I already have other countermeasures."
"any solution?"
Just at this time, Sedna came to report.
"Then Lord Villette, I have sent them out. Do you have any other instructions?"
"Thank you for your hard work. I have just drawn up a list. Please invite all the people on it to Momang Palace."
Sedna took the list and opened it to look at it on the spot.
It contains all the information about the powerful nobles in Fontaine.
Their common feature is that they control large institutions such as mines, factories, and chambers of commerce. They control the lifeblood of Fontaine society.
From this point of view, they are all businessmen, including traditional aristocrats who transformed into businessmen, and businessmen who became big and obtained aristocratic status.
"I understand then Lord Villette, I will send someone to invite them over right away."
Sedna jumped out.
"Eh? Then Villette, are you ready to negotiate with them?"
"Yes, I intend to make a demand on them, requiring them to provide jobs for humans and guarantee salaries."
"But...will they agree?"
"I'll make them promise."
There was an irresistible firmness in Villette's calm tone.
Faced with the real crisis, he had to abandon absolute fairness and turn to relative fairness based on realistic considerations.
There is really no better solution, so I can only put these nobles in an inconvenient position temporarily.
In the fairness between the majority and the minority, in the game of choosing between two options with no room for compromise, Villette decisively chose the former.
Without fairness for everyone, there is no point.
However, we have to make them agree and ensure fairness as much as possible.
How to make compensation remains a difficult problem.
"Ms. Funina, if you have nothing else to do, please go back to your room. I need to make some preparations."
"Huh? Oh, okay."
Finina was brought back to her senses by Villette's call. She nodded repeatedly at Villette and walked out of Villette's office, looking back every few steps.
It was as if she was afraid that Villette would abandon her and run away.
Navilette: "..."
He shook his head and stopped thinking about Funina.
[This is Momang Palace, which is quite far from Lujing Spring. There are so many things involved. With this incomplete authority, it seems that I will have to spend more effort.]
He thought again about the necessity of doing so, and then, the majestic power of water element gathered around Villette.
The scepter slammed heavily on the office floor.
"O Tide, I have returned!"
The water records people's emotions and their memories.
Carefully searching for what you need among the countless fragments of historical memory.
Scenes of history emerged in Villette's mind.
That Villette saw what those nobles did.
He saw the nobles toasting each other and deciding the fate of the residents of Gray River.
I saw those poor children who were imprisoned and violated.
I saw the tragic past of the child named Linnet in the Hearth House.
He saw countless sins of human nature, but also saw countless brilliance and beauty of human nature.
Watling, Carres, Myles and Silver, and all kinds of ordinary yet great people.
Human beings are such complex and contradictory creatures.
Chapter 158 There is a mole
After a long time, the water elemental power surrounding Villette gradually dissipated.
Already found what I wanted.
However, Villette remained where she was, with her head down, motionless and silent.
He saw those scenes again, and once again, recalled the past.
The loneliness of being an outsider for hundreds of years suddenly came over me like a tide.
He had already noticed many of the actions of those nobles.
In fact, some of them were seen by him when he was using the element of water to assist in investigating cases.
But he has been helpless about it.
Although these people are just mortals who cannot live for more than a hundred years, each of them is a thousand-year-old fox.
He had a hard time finding relevant evidence.
Both the witnesses and the material evidence were dealt with cleanly, and no one would accuse them at all.
Even if they find out, the other party will throw out a corresponding white glove as a scapegoat.
He could not use the memories he perceived as objective and irrefutable evidence, and regardless of the impact, this was simply not convincing.
Moreover, he cannot maintain this intensity of perception all the time, and the loss is huge, both physically and psychologically.
Villette still remembered that time, it was also a coincidence that he was caught. He directly ordered Meilushin of the Shadow Chasing Court to take action, and thus saved a witness before the nobles took action.
The witness vowed that he would testify.
As a result, during the trial, he changed his tone and took all the blame.
In his memory, Villette saw that the other party used 5000 million Mora to bribe him and threatened the life of the witness' family.
There was no physical evidence left behind for this incident, so as long as both of them denied it at the same time, it would mean that it never happened.
Even if he repeatedly and implicitly assured that he would guarantee the safety of the other party and his family, it was of no avail. I think it was because of the 5000 million Mora.
The case ended with the defendant being acquitted.
Over time, he seemed to have become numb to these things and no longer spent his time and energy tracking down these people.
And today, these familiar memories come flooding back to my mind again.
"Then Lord Villette, everyone is here. Do we need to let them in now?"
Outside the door, Sedna's voice interrupted Violet's thoughts.
"Okay, please come in."
The door of the office opened, and men and women dressed in similar traditional Fontaine aristocratic costumes walked in one after another.
"Good afternoon, Lord Navelette."
These are all very standard traditional Fontaine etiquette, and combined with their costumes, they are pleasing to the eye.
After a complicated set of etiquette, Villette and these nobles officially got down to business.
"I think everyone has noticed the massive strike and protests in Fontaine Court. As far as I know, the strike is no longer limited to Fontaine Court and has seriously affected the normal operation of Fontaine society."
Navillatte paid close attention to the changing expressions on everyone's faces.
Some people showed disdain, some just laughed it off, and some remained calm.
"Excuse me, Lord Villette. You should resolutely strike down such a mob and throw them all into the Melo Peterburg to protect the personal safety and interests of every citizen of Fontaine."
There was a chuckle from the nobles.
Everyone knows that this is an exaggeration, there is no such a big place as Mellow Petersburg.
As a result, to everyone's surprise, Villette admitted it with a serious face.
"Indeed, I do intend to strike back resolutely."
The laughter stopped abruptly.
Many noble representatives or family heads looked at Villette.
Are you serious?
"I have decided to ban the use of all autonomous machines in Fontaine, not just the latest robots, but also automated machine tools, and all kinds of clockwork mechanisms including security agencies. All related machines will be collected and destroyed by Momang Palace."
There was silence in the office.
The faces of many nobles were filled with expressions of surprise and dullness.
There is only one exception.
Duke Carter.
The good man in Fontaine, Villette looked through many memories, but could not find any crime he had committed. On the contrary, he had done many good deeds.
This is also the focus of Navillette.
For Navillatte, although there were many people at the scene, they could be simply divided into two categories: those with deep sins and those with innocent backgrounds.
There are only a few of the latter, led by Duke Carter.
He was not worried about the former. What he really found difficult to deal with were these innocent people.
