Chapter 471: Farouo
NPCs actively contact players to trigger certain plots and even quests, which is rare in Redemption games, but it is by no means non-existent.
Because of this, after receiving a contact from Farouo saying that there was a way to solve the misunderstanding and forced dissolution of the Hall of Stars by the Federal Assembly this time, Galaxy did not have too many doubts about it. Considering that this kind of NPC actively contacts the player's plot task routine, which often requires players to meet certain conditions or has triggered a specific pre-plot, Xinghe even thinks that maybe this time the Star Palace was misunderstood and temporarily revoked the union qualification, is it not entirely Mu Yun who is behind the scenes, but caused by triggering a large-scale plot mission when they are unconscious, and now Farou is obviously a high-level member of the Federal Assembly, But he took the initiative to find him, the president of the Star Hall Guild who was recognized as a suspect by the Federal Assembly, and provide a solution to the problem, is this guiding the direction of his next mission plot?
The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was too likely, and he almost almost led someone to Farouo's mansion halfway, but in the end he didn't do that, because he was stopped by Rococo (actually Coco's sister).
Rococo knows much more than the galaxy, and if it is an ordinary plot, it is indeed not surprising that there is Farouo, but the problem is that the Hall of Stars is now planted to collude with the chaos creatures and has been decertified from the guild - in the original game rules system, there is no such plot in either the main line or the side line.
So, of course, in this kind of plot change that is obviously influenced by the mastermind behind the scenes who joined forces with Mu Yun - the owner of the godhead fragment on the chaos side, a so-called "mission plot" suddenly appeared in such an environmental background, and it is strange that Rococo will not doubt it.
Because of this incident, Rococo already suspected that the mastermind behind the chaos side was the current high-level member of the Federal Assembly, and this time, as a core member of the Federal Assembly, Farouo completely aroused Rococo's suspicions.
Speaking of this guy, as early as in the previous Strange Domain incident, this archmage Farouo seems to have attracted her attention, at that time, because of this guy's special role in the plot, as well as several coincidental measures to promote the plot in the main plot, Rococo also used to suspect this person, but later because there was no suspicion after many attempts, coupled with a series of major events such as the recovery of the source of chaos afterwards, Rococo's suspicion of Farouo became shallower and shallow, and finally let him go...... It's the second time, and it's the second time this guy has been involved in something related to the plot change - no, wait a minute, it should be the third time?
Earlier than that, even earlier, "Redemption" was just launched, at the time of the invasion of the undead in Lancarros, the first main story on the side of the Free Federation, and Farouo, who had not yet entered the Free Federation Council and still served as the lord of Lancarros, was an absolute key figure in that incident. At that time, after she deduced that there was a plague mage Bekaz in Lancaros City as the course of events progressed, Farouo was the first to bear the brunt of several important suspicions, but in the follow-up plot, Farouo did not show any abnormal behavior, and even became the hero who fought against Bekaz when he attacked, so he was also cleared of his suspicions...... Speaking of which, it seems that she had met Farouo as a player and tested him at the time of the Lancarros incident at the very beginning.
…… This guy's sense of presence is unexpectedly a bit high.

Under the persuasion of Coco's sister, and because of the reputation and status of the primordial goblin, Xinghe finally did not go to Farouo's invitation, but chose to go to the holy city of Arya Val to find the Goddess of Creation Sect for help, and there "happened" to meet the primordial goblin "Merielo" who was "asked by Rococo" to come here to wait for the group of the Star Palace.
Rococo, who wears a mask and plays the role of "Merielo", meets with Xinghe with Oranado, who has temporarily recovered his sanity due to the triggering of the story mode under the statue of Arya, and gives Xinghe a reassurance. As the leaders of the Primordial Fairy and the Goddess of Creation Sect, the two expressed their belief that the Star Hall was innocent, and were willing to help Galaxy negotiate with the Free Federation Council to dispel their suspicions about the Star Hall and lift the Guild Certification Revocation Order for the Star Hall Guild as soon as possible.
Xinghe still trusts the status of the two of them in the order camp in the game, because of the promise of the two Rococo, Xinghe has a much lighter mind about immediately attending the notary meeting of Lancarus, and instead begins to devote himself to the management of the guild and the defense of the territory after the Star Hall is forcibly disbanded by the system, and Rococo did not perfunctory Xinghe here, and immediately let Orlanardo represent the Goddess of Creation Sect and use the teleportation magic props to get in touch with the Free Federation Council of Lancarros, and asked the other party about the Star Hall Guild.
The response of the Freedom Federation Council was a little unexpected, they rejected the proposal of the Goddess of Creation Sect to lift the ban on the Hall of Stars Guild before the matter was confirmed and investigated, and also rejected the Goddess of Creation Sect's request for assistance in the investigation, claiming that this was the internal affairs of the Free Federation and it was inconvenient for outsiders to interfere - of course, these did not surprise the Rococo Sect, after all, since Mu Yun and the mastermind behind the Chaos Side came up with this method to deal with the Star Palace, It should have been considered a long time ago, and the Rococo side, which is not happy to see such a situation happen, will definitely borrow a neutral force in the prestigious order camp like the Goddess of Creation Sect to put pressure on the Free Federation, and what really surprised Rococo and them was the attitude of the Free Federation.
The tone of the Free Federation in responding to the Goddess of Creation Sect has changed from the estranged surface politeness that has always been respectful, and has become full of arrogance and provocation, putting aside the somewhat civilized wording, whether it is from the essence of the content or the demeanor and tone of the conversation, it is completely as if he is saying "Lao Tzu doesn't need you to meddle in your affairs or fight or don't be verbose". And the most surprising thing is that it was none other than Farouo, who had taken the initiative to find the galaxy and offered to help him solve the problem, on behalf of the Free Federation, who said this to Oranado in the remote magic communication.
On the one hand, he expressed kindness to the wronged Star Palace, and on the other hand, he made a lot of provocations against other forces who wanted to help the Star Palace in places that the Star Palace did not know...... NPCs that behave normally follow the system's settings don't seem to be able to do such things.
"This guy called Farouo, he feels like the owner of a fragment of Godhead."
As soon as Orlanardo, who was in plot mode, ended the call, he frowned and said to Rococo on the side, and Rococo, who watched the whole conversation between the two, nodded in agreement, but in his head, Rococo was not as sure as she appeared.
Admittedly, if the other party is really the owner of the Godhead Shard, and is the guy on the Chaos side who can manipulate the source of chaos and is called the "master" by Conte, then many things seem to make sense.
In the early Lancarus incident, when Conte did not appear, he secretly teamed up with the plague mage Bekaz, and Lancaros Neiying, who was not exposed until the end of the matter, is undoubtedly the original city lord. As for the scene when the former city lord was almost removed from his post and taken into custody because he was implicated in the Bekaz incident, and later in the decisive battle, he killed Bekaz's bone dragon and appeared at a critical moment to force Bekaz away, maybe it was a bitter plan that he and Bekaz had already devoured.
After all, Rococo didn't insist on suspecting Farouo at that time, mostly because in the plot of the previous life that Rococo knew, Farouo was the hero who finally drove away Bekaz and protected Lancarlos, but now think about it, if the Lancarus incident was originally a scene designed by Bekaz and his nei, and not if Bekaz really wanted to attack Lancarros, then the two should have their own needs. Bekaz has harvested enough undead army in Lancarus to support his attack on the Holy City, and the other Neiying - past and present life, no matter how the plot changes, in the end, the only decent NPC in the plot that has benefited the most after the Lancarus incident seems to be Farouo, in his previous life, he became the hero of Lancarlos and relied on such achievements to jump from the Lord of Lancarlos to the Free Federal Assembly, and in this life, In addition, he directly borrowed Bekaz's hands to kill most of the original veteran members of the Federal Assembly who were on his way to promotion.
Farouo's motives are not difficult to understand, on the one hand, it was not clear that Bekaz would be so useless at the time (perhaps he actually knew that he was just deliberately cultivated with the attitude of wanting to try), and obviously hoped that Bekaz could be the first to make trouble on the continent of Emycia, which suddenly the whole world was gamified, to test the waters; On the other hand, Farouo also needs such an opportunity to enter the ruling inner circle of the Free Federation without arousing any suspicion, so that he can also make things easier for him to do things within the camp of order.
Not to mention anything else, in the later plot of the Strange Domain, it is obvious that if he hadn't entered the Federal Council at that time, he would not have had the opportunity to be sent to the Strange Domain as a parliamentary envoy, and then stage a big drama that deceived all NPCs and players in the past. If it weren't for Rococo noticing that something was wrong and first going to rescue Gribal, and then learning the news that the real Black and White Dragon King was trapped in the secret law space, I am afraid that until Gribal and the Black and White Dragon King were trapped in the swamp woodland and the secret law space respectively, the outside world would not notice the slightest, but would still think that the White Dragon King had fallen a long time ago, and the Black Dragon King was completely insane and was defeated by the "human hero" Farouo from the Free Federation who was "entrusted by the will of the White Dragon King".
And this time, it seems that Farouo's calculations are not difficult to speculate, it seems that he wants to completely expand the internal strife of the order from the player group this time, and with the help of this notary meeting, several major NPC forces in the order camp are also involved.
When you think about it this way, there is no doubt that Farouo has a problem, but on the other hand, it has also given rise to some new puzzles......
