Nahida, whose consciousness was attached to Rama, smiled helplessly.

After a brief exchange of chips, their core topic returned to the gods.

Once again, Nahida intuitively felt the true meaning of Rama's conversation with Faruzan.

In this world where there are gods, no matter what you think of them, you have to respect their existence.

Even though Rama knew that he was weak, Sumeru was ruled by the god of grass, which was the accepted rule of the Seven Rulers.

He respects the power of the gods, and therefore the rules laid down by the gods.

"Oh, I'm really worried about that." Rama nodded, his face unusually worried, "In the records left behind by the Red King, the God of Grass is a rather tricky enemy. ”

"Although I don't know what the new grass god is capable of, I guess the one selected by the Great Mercy Tree King must be a wise god."

"And from the enemy's side, the wisdom and strength of the gods are our biggest trouble."

Asfad threw out his worth, "If that's the case, I don't think you need to worry. ”

"Because the little auspicious grass king is not a powerful god."

"Not some powerful god?" Rama's words were tinged with just the right amount of doubt, "Are there any gods who are not powerful?" ”

This question was asked to Asfad for a moment.

Since there is a winner in the Demon God War, there must be a division between the strong and weak demon gods.

But for mortals, even losers, it is a demon god high above.

"It's not the kind of strength or weakness that is divided between demon gods," he subconsciously lowered his voice, as if he was about to spit out an astonishing secret, "According to our guesses and observations, we suspect that the little auspicious grass king is so weak that even mortals are powerless to resist. ”

"As long as you can defeat the Akademiya, you will be able to obtain a true god."

His tone was not deliberately frustrated, but it was surprisingly seductive.

This is based on the prize itself, not the words.

"Your guesses and observations?" Rama, however, was unmoved, "just a guess, and I'm afraid it can't be used as a basis for action." ”

"Why are you bothering too much with us about this?" Asfad asked, "The Red King is dead, and the desert people have long been godless. ”

"Even if you don't have this answer, don't you need to deal with the god of grass?"

He couldn't explain more, because it was just a guess.

The root of the speculation is based on the attitude of the Akademiya for five hundred years, but after all, it is just a guess, maybe the little auspicious grass king is really a god who is indifferent to fame, that is, a god who is willing to live in the pure good palace, or even not appear in front of people at all.

This is of course very unlikely.

The gods can not care about the sacrifice ceremony, but I have never seen the ruling body that inherits the power of the gods can not care.

It took hundreds of years for the god of wind in Mondstadt to disappear, but the people of Mondstadt still hold annual festivals related to the god of wind.

God doesn't care is God doesn't care, and the other party's high status comes from his own strength to push everything at any time.

But if you don't care, you can't, your power comes from the endowment of others, how dare you not care about what the gods think?

But no evidence is no evidence.

Asfad doesn't explain any more reasons, usually because there is no evidence, and the other half of course shouldn't know more.

The Akademiya did not hide it, but it did not go around proclaiming that it had accomplished the great cause of imprisoning the gods.

The gods are precious, a god who can be manipulated at will, and the Akademiya can't keep such precious materials.

The Seven Archons are equal, and Nahida's weakness is his own problem, but the Akademiya, as the authority of the human race, imprisons the gods, and how can it be damned for the Seven Archons.

Rama's smile was mocking.

Even if Nahida didn't give a judgment, he was sure that Asfad's words were not accurate enough.

But the enemy wants you to be tricked, so how can you not be tricked?

"You have a point." Rama's smile flickered and became heavy at random, "Ever since I took control of the tribe, I have never felt the weight of the demon god all the time. ”

"Seven consuls, what a high name."

"How can any mortal hearing such a name not be afraid and suspicious?"

"It's normal for you to have such concerns." Asfad does not advocate either.

Fear is a matter of course, you say you're not afraid at all, you just have to be with the gods.

If Asfad can still understand, his brain is probably following you to the problem.

"But there is no way back for the desert." Rama's words were calm, "Since there is no way back, then no matter what the road ahead, you can only continue to walk." ”

Asfad knew that he didn't have a choice anyway, and I'll just assume that the good news was true.

Full of helplessness of broken jars and broken pieces.

But that's the limit of what mortals can do when it comes to things related to the gods.

It is difficult for Rama to understand the mental state of Sangonomiya Kokomi who chose to rebel against the rule of the shogunate, and he is a very strong person.

"This is the information we've gathered about the Akademiya." Asfad handed over a paper document, "In fact, it's just a trivial act." ”

"We've collected some of the experiments that the Akademiya has suddenly brought up, the storage and flow of supplies, and some of the identities of powerful people that can be fought for."

"This may not necessarily help your rule, but it is the limit of what we can do in a short period of time."

It's no wonder that the Akademiya wants to clean up the [Group of Thirty].

Not only because of loyalty, but also because the [Group of Thirty] has been attached to the Akademiya for too long, and there are so many things that can be done.

In the plot line, they can paralyze the city defense of Sumeru City, and let the great sage be beaten in his hometown, but the city defense just doesn't have any movement, as if he doesn't know it at all.

A group of people who can't be fully trusted have a lot of power, so it's only a matter of time before they reckoned with it.

Rama's appearance hastened the process, but with or without him, it was only a matter of time before the Thirty Regiments and the Akademiya fought.

After all, the main body of the [Group of Thirty] is the desert people, although their upper class should have become the rainforest people, at least mentally, the rainforest people.

But the composition of this gilded brigade was indeed supported by the desert people, and this alone determined that they would never be able to touch the core of Sumeru.

"The [Group of Thirty] will be waiting for you in Sumeru City." Asfad said respectfully, "You will ascend to the true throne in Sumeru City. ”

Betrayal and counter-betrayal have never been a secret in this land.

Rama's smile softened slightly, and he looked a little warmer.

"Of course, if you can win enough Sumeru magnates, I certainly don't mind winning in an easier way."

"While the desert necessarily rules the rainforest, the rulers are not necessarily desert people."

He had to ensure the power of these defectors of the rainforest, at least there had to be such an argument.

"Like [the Group of Thirty] is to the desert?" Asfad's eyes lit up.

"Of course." Rama did not hesitate, "Somebody has to be the ruler, it doesn't matter if that person is from the rainforest or from the desert. ”

"As long as they are useful to the kingdom, they can ascend to the throne."

"Your generosity, Your Majesty." Asfad fell to his knees.

The early group of thirty may have been an adventurous group among the desert people who wanted to be prosperous and rich, but it has been passed down to the present, and after the domestication of the [Six Sages] over the generations, their upper echelons have obviously favored the rainforest people.

They may still have the characteristics of desert people, but in terms of spirit and habits, they are biased towards rainforest people.

Of course, it doesn't matter what they think of themselves.

What matters is how the Akademiya views them.

Rama's promise that the nobles of the rainforest would still be able to become nobles in the new dynasty if they surrendered, was the core bargaining chip for many of them.

The [Group of Thirty] has no choice, only betrayal.

But the betrayal of others often requires more resources to be co-opted.

When Asfad left, Nahida couldn't wait to show up.

"He's not lying." The young god judged, "These are sincere words. ”

"In other words, at least Asfad is really biased towards me coming to Sumeru City?"

Rama's expression remained the same, without any change in the slightest.

"At least Asfad······· You mean, he's sincere, but that's only based on this part of what he knows. Nahida easily reflected, "The truth he knows is only what others want him to know." ”

This is not a clever deception.

There are many ways to deceive people, and lies are one of them, and so is the truth.

Asfad did have sincerity.

Nahida confirmed it, and of course Rama believed it.

He said what he thought was the truth, and that should be fine.

In the eyes of this old man, the [Group of Thirty] was indeed in such a dangerous environment, and it was indeed necessary to find a new master.

They did make efforts in this area, including investigating the movements of the Akademiya, and the nobles they could win over.

These are all things that can be believed.

But the truth he believes is not necessarily the truth of this world.

"In the sea of sand, people still believe that the death of the Red King was due to the betrayal of the Great Mercy Tree King."

"In the sand sea thousands of years ago, the Great Cishu King killed the Red King, destroyed the leylines of the sand sea, and burned the civilization of the desert."

"But in the real history, it was the Red King who took the initiative to provoke the calamity, and the Great Cishu King came out of the rain forest and helped the Red King clean up the trouble."

"But even so, the trouble was not completely solved, and in the end, the Red King had to choose to use his sacrifice as a bargaining chip to solve the problem."

"What they believe is obviously not the same as what is actually happening."

The reason why the truth was covered up was that the King of the Great Cishu had a lot of concerns and had no idea of explanation.

In addition, the desert people also need a proper reason to explain why everyone is suddenly living badly.

It certainly can't be my problem, the Red King is the god who protects us, and we can't resent the Red King.

Then it can only be pushed to the other god who rules Sumeru, the god of grass, the Great Mercy Tree King.

Rama touched the god's hair, "This is not a complicated issue, the interests of the group and the individual sometimes overlap, but this does not mean that the individual will be coerced by the group. ”

"The core interests of the [Group of Thirty] have indeed encountered a big problem because of your presence, and Asfad is not wrong in what he said, they are indeed planning to betray the Akademiya."

Nahida was reckless.

He is always on the path of learning, even though these things are not very valuable.

"Based on the question of origin, [the Group of Thirty] will never be trusted."

"And the question of origin is a problem that cannot be changed, so [the Group of Thirty] has reached a certain level, and there is only one way to resist."

The origins of the desert people have written a dead future.

As the desert is completely controlled, the existence of the [Group of Thirty] will also lose its value.

The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook.

It's not necessarily a threat, it's just that you don't need it to hunt anymore, and it's a waste to keep it.

"But this is the choice of the [Group of Thirty], just as a long time ago, when the desert people could choose to unite against the Akademiya, some people chose to defect to the Akademiya."

"The best choice for the desert does not mean that it is also the best choice for a certain desert people, and there is always another way out for the individual."

Nahida sighed under her breath, grieving over their choice of interests.

The interests of the whole are the interests of the whole, and most of the time the interests of the whole sustain the interests of the individuals, and the desert confirms this.

If the desert does not stand up, the desert people can only accept the enslavement of the rainforest people.

But people have the right to choose to survive alone as individuals, and the desert people as a whole can't run out, there are always a few desert people who can run out and stand on a high place.

Cetaret can be, the regiment of thirty already is.

Even the Akademiya is not unable to accept a few desert dwellers standing on a high place.

To put it more bluntly, I know it's best for the Thirty, but why should I sacrifice for the sake of the Thirty?

I could have betrayed the [Group of Thirty] and let myself live a better life on my own.

"Don't you believe the promise of the [Group of Thirty] at all?" Nahida asked softly.

It was not a choice based on the information gained by judgment, and from the first words of Asfad, Rama did not give any trust.

"That's the old question," Rama thought for a moment, "do you think I can win?" ”

Nahida may have never had power, so she was always wrong.

"Yes." Nahida nodded.

"If it's something you can do, then it's better not to trust any promises from others and just go according to your own plan."

Rama smiled and said, "Don't put any hope in the hands of others, so that at least when you lose, you will be in a slightly better mood." ”

Taking failure as a prerequisite for all plans is not a special ability, it can only be described as regular prudence.
