Residents wonder about Betonus' projects

Back in their village of indomitable Normans, they told everyone the bad news happening in the South. A collective meeting is organized by the chief to get the citizens' opinion and advice. Garantix and Armonix will then be able to report all this advice during their next visit to the indomitable southerners. This month, they return to the town, full of enthusiasm, but above all very interested in the ongoing public consultation they heard about during their last visit. The indomitable Gauls of Port-Grimaud are trying to understand the preposterous intentions of Betonus and his advisors, who do not seem to have listened to the real needs and are focusing on the idea of adding new jetties to prevent silting up! And Régiebus wants to build himself a large chief's hut on the sea.

Garantix. By Toutatis, Armonix, I wonder why Betonus would want to add these jetties? It seems to me, from what I've heard, that he hasn't even proven that it would really prevent silting! Armonix. Yes, and what's more, I also heard they want to expand the harbor master's hut by encroaching on the sea without having studied the impact on the fish and the ecosystem. It's crazy, isn't it! The two friends head towards the central market square, taking a small detour past the church tower to admire again the view from the top of this gentle architecture. The residents of Port-Grimaud have gathered to discuss Betonus' projects in the large common room, and Garantix and Armonix discreetly slip into the meeting, hoping to gather some useful information. Garantix. By Bélénos, they want to make the city's residents pay for all this when it brings them nothing good! Can you believe it, Armonix... Armonix. Don't you think they should find a way to prove these projects are harmful? We'll go talk to them, could the druid help them? He is right there and always has the voice of wisdom. The druid. I tell you, these new jetties could disrupt marine currents and seriously affect the habitats of underwater fauna and flora. Believe me! And expanding the harbor master's office could destroy essential breeding grounds for many species. This could even have unfortunate consequences in the event of torrential rain, and the South beach could be choked. Garantix. It looks like the residents will use this information to convince Betonus and those who follow him to abandon their invasive projects. Armonix. And they will also show that they can protect their beautiful city without these ill-suited constructions to evolve. Garantix and Armonix listen and observe the residents' steps to make their opinions known and ask their questions about Betonus' projects. They unite to request workshops, hoping to get answers to their questions.

Garantix (who has just joined them, followed by Armonix): You must absolutely remain very united and protect your city from the invaders who want to settle in your home, just like we protect our village with the magic potion. Your magic potion is to find strength in growing unity. Armonix. Exactly, well said, Garantix, all together. And also, you must and can show the Romans that you do not want to see your city ransacked for sesterces. Ask for workshops or discussion meetings in small groups to make yourselves better understood. The awareness campaign is gaining popularity and more and more village residents are joining the cause of the indomitable Gauls of Port-Grimaud. Betonus is beginning to feel the wind changing and the pressure starting to come from above. He finally accepts a working workshop with them! Various topics will be discussed: works, occupation, sesterces, and use of the body of water... Betonus seems to hear the important needs by announcing some news: Betonus. Very well, very well, we will study the impact of our projects on the ecosystem and consult the residents before making decisions. All this will still cost everyone thousands of sesterces, as with all the other numerous studies, but it is better than harmful projects.
