19- Plan
Rama was not raised as a ruler.
Many of the Tanit tribe knew his reputation, but it was as a scholar, not a warrior.
When it is really necessary to fight, a normal tribal warrior will obviously not follow his orders.
For most people, the fact that he suddenly has a say in a field that is not his own makes no sense in itself.
The elders have a point, but your own life is at stake, and you can't really compromise without judgment, right?
This change at the top has made some waves, but it hardly matters.
In the night after leaving the camp, Rama was assassinated three times.
The next morning, however, the men were returned to the elders' tents.
Rama didn't kill any of them, but chose to send them all back safely.
This incident simply reveals a truth, he is not lying in terms of force value.
If force were to be used, the tribe might be able to kill Rama, but it is more likely that he would have escaped with his whole body.
And a tricky prey, once you fail to kill him in one go, you have to be always vigilant and fearful in the rest of the hunt.
So let's do it first.
He killed three elders, but he didn't accept their legacy.
Wealth, slaves, and vacant power, these things are filled.
In other words, in addition to being threatened, for the living elders, not only did they not suffer losses, but they received additional benefits.
The fact that the [Master Mother System] was suppressed by the [Nine Elders System] was not that people did not want a sole position of power, but that most of the elders knew that it was impossible for them to become the Master Mother.
If the only, complete power is something I don't have, I'd rather divide it into nine incomplete parts.
At least one of them must be mine.
It's complete and unique, but what does it have to do with me?
No matter how good something is, if it's not mine, it's meaningless.
No matter how good a talent is, if he can't be used by me, then I can only ask him to die.
History has reproduced this answer countless times, and it is not for me to use, but for me to kill.
What doesn't belong to me is of no use no matter how precious it is.
And now it is the same situation, the Nine Elders have become the Six Elders, and their power has been expanded to a certain extent.
That is, bad actions bring them good gains.
Except for Rama, he really deserves to die, but everyone can't find a way to kill him completely for the time being.
The only thing that surprised the elders during the whole process was Babel's own lack of interest.
They all knew that Babel was not willing to just become an elder, she had always wanted to be the mistress of the Tanit tribe.
It was said that at this time, she should let go of her hand and take it by force, but she lacked interest and had little determination to fight.
If it weren't for her relationship with Rama, the elders tacitly left her a benefit, and she might have gained nothing in this turmoil.
Could it be that she and Rama are not so simple in their relationship of competing interests?
While "eating", the elders speculated about the relationship between Rama and Babel.
"How did you end up here?"
Rama was a little puzzled, "Shouldn't you be competing with those elders for something right now?" β
She had to come out herself.
Because the other elders were all in person, it was useless to appoint their own deputies.
They are not equal in power, and if the deputy goes to grab something from someone with the same status as his own boss, he will definitely not be able to grab anything good.
"Power?" Babel's voice was helpless, "The power they are fighting for comes from your killing. β
"Yes, I killed three elders."
Rama confessed the debt.
He nodded, "And then?" And then because I killed three elders with power, you changed your perception and thought that power was not important? β
"I have to tell you, Mother, that is wrong." His tone barely changed, and his smile was as warm as ever.
He is so calm when he kills, and so gentle when he is reasonable.
It's very unpleasant, and Babel always has the urge to tear the corners of his mouth.
"Power is a good thing forever, forever and ever."
"We scramble and chase it up, regardless of time and circumstance."
Of course, you can also compromise and cede power for the sake of the big picture.
But history does not give these people any preferential treatment, and after losing power, their results are not good.
A small number of people have the opportunity to die well, and most people die of depression or simply get sick and die.
Babel was silent for a moment, "That's what I thought. β
"In my plan, I will gradually purge all the elders."
"It's too chaotic to give one power to nine people, and Tanit only needs one master mother, not nine elders."
The desert is not the desert of the Red King.
Strictly speaking, there are a total of three gods in ancient Sumeru.
The Red King, the Flower God, and the Great Mercy Tree King.
The Tree King opened up the rainforest, while the desert belonged to the Flower God and the Red King.
To this day, there are still two beliefs in the sand sea, the god of flowers and the king of the red.
Tanit's belief is the god of flowers.
But the Red King is higher than the god of flowers, because after the god of flowers dies, he is still alive, and people can only choose to worship the living gods.
"My original plan was like this, after clearing all the elders and restoring the power of the [Mastermother], I will find the [Eternal Oasis]."
Speaking of the oasis, Babel's eyes sparkled, "In the records of the ancient books, it is the place where the god of flowers rests, and there I will get the oracle of the god of flowers." β
"It doesn't matter what he thinks or says, he's just a dead god anyway."
"I will control the interpretation of all the oracles of the flower god, and use the divine power to open up a new future for the tribe."
"If we can find the Zhenling technology in the ancient books that supplies water to the entire Sand Sea, then this story can be even better."
"You're right." Rama affirmed Babel's plan, "This is the best plan. β
The clichΓ© answer, Babel knows almost nothing.
She knew the truth of all the issues by relying on a few books and speculations, and Rama had resources of two grades.
Babel's plan is the best solution of the resources she has at her disposal.
So Rama sincerely believes that if there is no himself, Babel's plan is the best answer.
But she failed, and she will.
Not only Babel, but also the Fatui in the sand.
The stone slab that opened the Tomb of the Red King was in the hands of a scholar of the Akademiya, and it was not until the future Yingmei arrived in Sumeru that the Fatui did not grasp this information.
And the shell of Lilupal, which is related to the [Eternal Oasis], will also be found with the help of Yingmei in the future.
They don't have any key mission props, the plan is good, but failure becomes an inevitability.
"But then what? Have you changed your mind now? Rama asked.
