Original God, life in red Teyvat from scratch

That was the end of the meeting.

The group began to walk outside, and Villette also stood up, ready to give an explanation to the people who were gathered outside to protest.

When everyone else walked out, Duke Carter paused.

Behind Duke Carter, there was only Villette.

Watching the two highly soundproof doors in front of him slowly close, Carter turned around and looked at Villette.

"Then Lord Villette, from what I understand, you are not the type to cover up evil."

Carter stared at Villette's eyes, as if he could see through Villette completely.

"So why are you still entangled with them instead of just charging them and putting them on trial?"

In response to Carter's question, Villette lowered his head slightly and did not give an answer.

The atmosphere seemed a little stiff.

"That is, you can't actually produce any evidence that could pose a threat, or it's not enough to support a trial."

Still Villette did not give an answer, but just looked at Carter quietly.

There was a flash of understanding in Carter's eyes.

"I understand."

The rumors are probably true.

According to legend, water is full of people's emotions and memories.

If it is a god, then it must be able to read these contents.

Only in this way can it be explained why Villette could not produce any evidence but knew exactly what these people did.

"So, the reason you know this is because..."

Carter looked a little excited, but halfway through his speech he saw that Villette closed her eyes.

Doesn't this mean you don't want him to continue?

Yes, since Lord Villette was deliberately hiding the truth, it would not be a good idea for him to point it out.

Even if there were only two of them here.

"...Ha, who knows, maybe it's because you are very responsible."

Carter laughed to himself, turned around and pushed the door open.

However, the smile on his face was harder to suppress than AK.

It seems that he did the right thing this time.

That Villette looked at Carter, just shook his head, and then followed Carter out of the office.

Only then did he realize that it was already daybreak.

Even though it had been raining all night, the people gathered outside still did not disperse. In fact, in his perception, there were even more people.

More people are gradually joining the action.

Things have become a little chaotic here. There has been no response for more than ten hours and the crowd has become restless.

People rushed forward again and pushed and shoved the guards.

That Villette could still hear the questioning voice as she reached the door.

"Why haven't I received a reply after so long?"

"Please understand that such talks cannot produce immediate results."

"Failed, huh? Those guys didn't agree, right? They made us wait here in the rain for a whole night, and that's it?!"

"The negotiations have not yet come to fruition..."

"Stop fooling us!"

The guards were still trying their best to maintain order, even though, considering the crowd they were facing, it would only take a moment for them to be crushed.

"crunch~"

The gate of Momang Palace opened again after being silent for more than ten hours.

In an instant, the restless crowd quieted down.

The nobles who came to participate in the negotiations walked out of Momang Palace one after another. They did not stay but left directly.

"what's the situation?"

People stared at this scene blankly.

There was the sound of a scepter hitting the ground.

The figure of Villette appeared in front of everyone.

"It's Lord Villette!"

Pairs of eyes full of expectation stared at the figure.

"Supreme Judge Navilette hereby declares that the 'Robot Use and Management Law' will strictly restrict the use of robots in all aspects, strictly limit the employment ratio of robots to humans, and strictly limit the wages and benefits of various types of workers. For specific content, please refer to the latest version of the 'Fontaine Code'. This bill will take effect immediately!"

The scepter fell heavily.

The people at the scene still haven't come to their senses.

"Can we... continue to live a good life?"

A mechanic's muttering could be heard at the scene, and it sounded particularly clear in the quiet surroundings.

Immediately, Villette responded to him: "Yes, your worries about being replaced can fade away."

"Great!"

It was as if the play button was pressed instantly, and the crowd erupted in overwhelming cheers.

The news of the new law coming into effect was heard by people gathered in various places in Fontaine to protest, accompanied by cheers.

Seeing the crowd cheering and mingling with the security guards, Villette finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the situation has been temporarily resolved.

Without joining in the joyous atmosphere, nor like those nobles who left dejectedly, Villette just turned around and returned to the Momang Palace silently.

Whether happy or depressed, it is all human and has nothing to do with him as an outsider.

The only person who felt similar to Villette was Duke Carter, who was walking on the street and watching the crowd cheering.

However, he felt more emotional in his heart.

"Mr. Carter, I still don't understand. We haven't done anything wrong. Why should we follow those people and give up our rights?"

The young woman walking next to Carter held it in for a long time, but finally couldn't help asking this question.

"Julian, you are still young, you still don't understand."

Carter shook his head.

"What should I understand?" Julian felt very confused.

"From the moment robots appeared, we were swept into the dustbin of history."

"What?" Julian was shocked. "Are you referring to the protesters? Or the robots? But isn't the problem solved? They've already started cheering, and they'll probably disperse soon."

“Is the problem really solved?”

Carter looked at Julian with sharp eyes, making the latter feel a little flustered.

"You must be very clear about the magic of money, right? Those who have long been slaves to money and power are just machines for earning Mora. Now that there is such a huge amount of assets in front of them, how could they just give up?"

"..."

Julian opened her mouth, but she couldn't argue.

This is a fact.

"They will seize every opportunity and every chance to make up for their losses. Simply setting up laws now will not solve the problem at all. At most, it can only delay the outbreak of the problem. What is coming will eventually come."

"Julian, think about it carefully. When both sides have reached their limit of tolerance for each other, when the conflict between the two sides becomes irreconcilable and a life-and-death struggle, what choice will the Supreme Judge make when faced with the majority of people in Fontaine and a minority like us?"

Chapter 161 Astrology No Longer Exists

"All we can do now is to seek a dignified exit. We just hope that we are not really 'swept' into the trash heap."

Carter was not a traditional hereditary aristocrat.

He worked his way up through his own efforts.

But he believes that the biggest difference between him and others is that when faced with the choice, he did not choose to become a slave to money.

He always believed that money and power are all for the service of people, rather than people serving for the sake of money growth and power expansion.

As a human being, he sees many things more clearly than those slaves.

For example, those people would think that Navillatte’s own fairness was a packaged personality just like theirs, and in their understanding, the whole world was like this, but he could guess that Navillatte had no way out, and then infer more things.

It is also because of this that he is too aware of the greed of these people.

Relying on negotiations and using laws to restrict their actions can only provide temporary relief.

There are policies from the top and countermeasures from the bottom. This is always the case in this world. Otherwise, how could these people be so lawless under Fontaine's complicated and strict judicial system?

Now, they are intimidated and admit defeat, but soon, they will come up with new means and test the situation bit by bit.

And if Navillette wants to make a new decision, it has to pay "chips", which is in line with the principle of fairness. Just like this time, Navillette also offered a compensation plan.

In the "arms race" between the two sides, how many chips does Villette have in its hands to continue the unlimited competition?

Not to mention that this back-and-forth process will gradually wear out the patience of the people of Fontaine.

There is another way. Since Lord Villet is the real water god, then the power of the god is certainly enough to overturn the table and destroy these people in an instant.

But then what?

Regardless of whether it is fair or not, the old are replaced by the new, but the substance remains the same. In a few years or at most a few decades, a new group of slaves will take their place, and the same scene will occur again.

Kill another batch? Then will this cycle continue until the end?

In this way, there is only one way left to solve the problem.

The nobility will disappear.

Not only the nobles, but also people who have a similar position in society as the nobles will disappear.

As for the possibility that the people of Fontaine would disappear, he had never thought of this possibility.

How could Villette allow this to happen?

He wondered what the world would be like after they disappeared, and how Fontaine would function.

It’s just that people cannot imagine things that don’t exist in this world.

He couldn't imagine such a scene at all.

"I really want to see what Fontaine, a brand new world, will look like on that day."

Julian beside him was still immersed in thought, but Carter was already quite emotional.

He was just an ordinary mechanic worker back then. It is enough for him to have come this far. It can be called a legendary life.

Compared to that curious new world, he doesn't care too much about his gains and losses.

They are just some material possessions. If they can satisfy his curiosity, then they are gone.

What's more, if that world really appears, I believe that I and my family will live a good life.

It's Julian.

"So, Julian, you are different from me. Seize this time, eat and drink, and squander it while you are still a noble, with your status and huge wealth. Of course, don't break the law. If you have time, help others more, don't be stingy with money, and buy yourself some insurance to leave a way out."

Carter patted Julian on the shoulder as a farewell, then walked away without looking back.

He has said everything he needs to say, and the rest depends on Julian's choice.

Julian was the only one left on the street, struggling.

She looked at the cheering crowd in the distance and bit her lip, wondering what she was thinking.
