Marquis Ralph was angry and anxious at this time. His situation was becoming more and more critical. One day he might be blamed for a lot of things and die inexplicably.
At this time, Marquis Ralph couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had reached the next cooperation with Luo Fan. If he proved his worth this time, the previous accounts could basically be written off.
At the same time, Marquis Ralph was somewhat relieved. Fortunately, he was more cautious and did not leave any evidence every time he enjoyed it, otherwise he might not be able to escape this time.
So, Marquis Ralph held on to his last hope and submitted the adjustment report on the decree to clear the Gray River.
Not long after, the report was approved.
The content of the decree adjustment is that the government will allocate a suitable place for the residents of Grey River to live. The clockwork mechanism will help clear the monsters nearby. At the same time, this place will become a new town. Those who have lived in the town for more than five years and have not committed crimes again during this period will have their status as Fontaine citizens restored, etc.
This is a compensation from the Fontaine officials to the residents of Grey River, and also a compromise...
Chapter 65: The Nobles' Final Struggle
When Huihe received the news that Fontaine officials had changed the content of the decree, the atmosphere inside did not become much better, because everyone suspected that this was another conspiracy of those nobles.
It has to be said that their guess was correct. These benefits were just baits released by the nobles. If Marquis Ralph had not been forced into a desperate situation, he would not even want to release the bait.
What Luo Fan had done before was to induce Marquis Ralph to not only put out the bait, but also to put out more bait in order to make it easier for the fish to take the bait.
Finally, break the fishing line so that the bait can be eaten.
No one really wants to live next to a dark and stinking ditch unless they really can't make it in the upper class area.
Most people still yearn for sunshine in their hearts. This is Luo Fan’s last gift to them after all the trouble he has put in for them for so long.
Luo Fan glanced at the familiar faces in front of him, especially Navia, Miles and Silver standing beside him. He had originally planned to design a grand farewell for himself, but at this moment he felt a little reluctant.
However, Luo Fan recovered quickly. It was not like they would not see each other again in the future, so there was no need for him to hesitate at the last moment.
After thinking for a while, Luo Fan has dispelled his inner confusion.
In the future, he probably won't reap so many lives like he did this time. This time it was mainly because the behavior of those nobles was really unbearable for him, otherwise Luo Fan would definitely come up with a plan and let other people deal with these nobles.
And when the new functions of the system are unlocked, I believe his mentality will gradually recover.
"Teacher, what should we do now?"
Feeling the gazes of Navia and others, Luo Fan quickly adjusted his state and spoke.
"Comrades, listen to me."
"There is no doubt that this is a trap set for us, and it is an open conspiracy."
"If we don't accept it, the people in the upper district and those nobles who don't have much ill will towards us will think that we are too greedy and want more benefits."
"And some of us, after seeing that we could regain our status as Fontaine citizens, no longer wanted to continue living in such a precarious situation."
"This is the nobles' way of dividing us!"
"I know all this."
When Luo Fan was speaking, everyone present just listened quietly and did not interrupt him.
In several operations, they have achieved unimaginable results, and everyone has completely regarded Luo Fan as their guiding light.
Moreover, the feeling of following Luo Fan and completely abandoning the brain is so refreshing. Many people have become addicted to this feeling of winning without doing anything. As long as what Luo Fan says is not particularly outrageous, no one will raise too many opinions.
"But if we accept, we will leave this station that we are so familiar with and come to an unfamiliar place."
"And if we expose this to the public, the nobles will use all kinds of means to deal with us, and our situation will be extremely difficult."
Luo Fan paused, his emotions suddenly rising.
"But this is also a great opportunity, a chance to completely get rid of the ugly labels on us, a chance for us to live in the sunshine again!"
"Those nobles are too arrogant. They really underestimate us. We have survived the most critical moment. Why would we be afraid of their petty tricks that are not worthy of being used now?!"
After hearing Luo Fan's words, everyone was suddenly filled with confidence.
Yes, their most dangerous and painful days have passed. Now that so many nobles have been massacred, what is there for them to fear?
"We ate the bait thrown this time!"
"And I will never spit it out!"
After hearing Luo Fan's words, everyone felt their blood boiling and responded one after another.
"Fight them till the end!"
"They're just a bunch of clowns. I've killed quite a few of them before!"
"Those who dare to attack us [Gray Gate] will be defeated!"
……
Soon, through the elevator made by Luo Fan, the old people in the Gray River who did not have enough physical strength due to their old age were finally able to stand in the sun again.
The sunlight was obviously not that glaring, but they put their hands on their heads to avoid it from shining directly on their faces, and their eyes were already filled with tears.
They never dreamed that they would have the chance to leave Gray River and see the outside world in this lifetime, and from what others said, it seemed that they would never have to return to this dirty but memorable place again.
In fact, there were still some elderly people who were prepared to die in the Gray River because they did not want to cause trouble to everyone. However, after Luo Fan’s repeated persuasion and even pleading, they agreed to leave the Gray River.
Luo Fan's contribution to Huihe was so great that they were embarrassed to refuse his advice, and begging would be a decisive move.
Luo Fan's earnest words made everyone respect him even more. Look, this is their leader. Even though he is in a high position, he will still humble himself for them. And those nobles only look down on others.
When they came to the upper area and felt the sunlight shining on their bodies again, they suddenly felt like they were reborn.
The onlookers did not show much disgust towards this group of people who were wearing shabby clothes and even smelled bad. They just looked at them with a smile.
Originally, most people had some prejudice against the people in Gray River, but after this series of events, everyone only had gratitude and sympathy for them.
The gratitude is because the other party has made great changes to Fontaine's current situation, and the sympathy is because the price they paid for this matter is really too high.
Under the escort of the [Court of Law Enforcement], there were not too many disturbances along the way, and everyone came to a plain outside Fontaine Court, which was the residence designated for them.
Then, under the watchful eyes of others, the people from the [Court of Law Enforcement] started to clear out the monsters nearby with clockwork mechanisms and built some simple fortifications. Some daily necessities were also delivered by Melushin.
It was only at this time that Luo Fan noticed that the composition of the [Law Enforcement Court] seemed to have undergone a great change, and there were obviously a lot more Meilushen.
It will take some time to build the houses, so for now we can only use tents as a substitute.
Although the construction team was said to be arriving soon, Luo Fan knew very well why the team did not start construction in advance. Those nobles did not believe that the people of Gray River would be able to live to move into their houses.
Because deep in this place, there is a huge amount of Manghuang energy hidden. It only takes a little trigger to blow this place and all the people on it up into the sky.
And these wild energies were planted by Luo Fan himself...
Chapter 66: The Final Act is about to begin
Not even willing to wait for a better opportunity, the nobles launched a night attack on everyone leaving the Grey River.
On the one hand, it was because the nobles hated everyone for putting them in such an embarrassing situation, and on the other hand, they wanted to catch everyone off guard.
After all, it is hard to imagine that they would take action on the first day, but unfortunately this plan was proposed by Luo Fan himself.
The overwhelming clockwork mechanisms launched a fierce attack on the base from all directions, but because of Luo Fan's reminder, everyone was prepared and immediately launched a fierce counterattack.
And Luo Fan also invited Clorinde over. Of course, Luo Fan originally wanted to invite Funina, but it seemed that he had gone a bit too far before. For the sake of her emotional stability, Clorinde didn't dare to tell her about recent events until now. This time, Clorinde came alone.
Luo Fan's reason for inviting the other party was very simple. It was enough to say that he estimated that the nobles would launch a surprise attack tonight.
Because of Clorinde's intervention in the last incident, Luo Fan curiously asked Navia, and then learned that Navia's father, Carres, died at the hands of Clorinde in the duel. Therefore, he knew that when he gave this reason, the other party would definitely come over.
Although Navia was somewhat reluctant about Clorinde's appearance, she gave up the idea of letting Clorinde go back when she thought about the safety of other people and the fact that Luo Fan had personally invited her.
The nobles really launched an attack tonight, which made Clorinde extremely angry. Even though the nobles' rights had been restricted so much, the other side still refused to repent and was able to mobilize so many armed forces.
Clorinde simply couldn't imagine how many unscrupulous and evil things the nobles had done in the past by relying on their power, and then she poured all her inner anger into the sword in her hand.
The dazzling purple light shuttled freely across the battlefield, and wherever it passed, the clockwork mechanisms exploded violently, forming a beautiful landscape.
Seeing Clorinde so dazzling, Navia was not willing to be outdone. She swung the sword in her hand, and the clockwork mechanisms in front were almost swept away.
Of course, they seemed to be very relaxed, but it did not mean that the battle situation was optimistic. Generally speaking, the combat effectiveness of the Clockwork Machinery was still higher than that of the people in Gray River, so Luo Fan stood up at this time.
The sound of the guitar was amplified by elemental force and spread throughout the battlefield.
Everyone who heard the song felt that their strength had greatly increased, and the situation was reversed in an instant.
Of course, this was just an attempt by the nobles. Luo Fan told Marquis Ralph at the time that if it succeeded, that would be the best, but if it failed, it didn't matter, they just had to watch his performance.
He will let Marquis Ralph enjoy a beautiful fireworks display!
Now only the last step is left. To be honest, Luo Fan has no idea whether the other party can participate in the performance according to the established script.
Luo Fan recalled the great magician named Linny whom he had met before, who looked very smart. It seemed that the other party had already noticed something at the time, and Charlotte was also there.
"I hope you won't disappoint me."
Because Luo Fan was still recovering from "serious injuries", he did not participate in the frontal battlefield, but only served as a support in the back.
Luo Fan glanced at the battlefield and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"For my points, you better hurry in."
……
"There must be something wrong with that man named Gretel."
Whether it was Charlotte, Linny or Linnet, their expressions were extremely solemn.
Since Linnie showed Charlotte the results of his investigation on Luo Fan, and combined with the results of subsequent investigations, Charlotte also began to suspect Luo Fan, but she was a little hesitant because she thought that he was Navia's teacher.
“I think we’re in a misguided way of thinking.”
Linnie sighed softly, then continued.
"I previously speculated that the real culprit behind the serial suicides was a mysterious organization."
"But there is actually another possibility, which is that this mysterious organization all serves one person. I only realized this after hearing the news that the serial suicide murderer showed up."
"Considering that Grete has been living in seclusion for three years, if he has already started preparing everything, then even if he is alone, he can still fool everyone."
"If we think in this direction, then many of the questions we have are answered."
"For example, why Gretel had been silent for so long and suddenly became the core figure in Gray River? For example, the song he played was so coincidental, and then when we hardly saw him appear with the serial killer..."
After hearing what Linnie said, Charlotte was silent.
During this period, Linny and Linnett produced many clues found by the Fatui, such as someone seemed to have jumped to his death in Marquis Ralph's mansion, but the body was secretly disposed of, and then the serial killer cooperated with the nobles in the action, etc.
They also discovered a crucial clue by inquiring from ordinary people.
Luo Fan had gone out in the early morning of the day when the "Bloody Ocean" incident occurred, and several people saw him returning from outside.
No one knows what the other party did when he went out.
However, based on these alone, it is obviously not enough to suspect that Luo Fan, who is trusted and respected by countless residents of Gray River, is the murderer behind everything.
The main thing that Charlotte couldn't understand was that if Luo Fan was really the murderer, then what was he trying to do?
After wasting so much effort and killing so many innocent people, the other party couldn't possibly be trying to overthrow the rule of God, right?
"For a madman, you should never try to guess the logic of his behavior."
As if he saw what Charlotte was thinking, Linnie spoke up and reminded her.
"Analyzing directly from the results, the most direct beneficiary of all the previous events is Grete, the leader of the current Gray River faction [Gray Gate]."
"Plus, the timing of his injury was too coincidental. For various reasons, he has a suspicion that is difficult to clear."
After thinking for a moment, Charlotte nodded, but then a look of embarrassment appeared on her face.
"But with just these evidences, we can't convince Miss Navia to believe us."
"If we can't gain Miss Navia's trust and convince the rest of Gray River, we won't be able to change anything."
"So we need decisive evidence!"
"Let's go check out Gretel's house while he's not in Gray River."
"The change in the decree was quite sudden. During this period, Grete needed to arrange for the people to relocate. I believe that if Grete really had a problem, he would not have had enough time to completely deal with the clues."
Linnie expressed his idea, and Charlotte agreed after a little hesitation. Now was indeed a great opportunity.
Although this is not very polite, if she really finds out that this is a misunderstanding, she will definitely apologize to Luo Fan in person.
So the three of them, who had reached a consensus, soon arrived at Luo Fan's door.
