Something happened in Sumeru City that I don't know if it was good or bad.

Rama personally acknowledged that the gods had granted the sand sea the right to rule for the rest of the day.

Since it is the ruling power of the sand sea, although the rainforest people are also allowed to take the throne in the ruling body, of course, there are more desert people.

It's something that should be in the question, and it doesn't matter.

The key thing is the announcement issued by Rama.

The gods will form a new governing body, and the Akademiya will change from a ruling institution to the simplest academy.

The ruling body will form a new Six Sages, and Rama will become the Great Sage, a group of Six Sages overseen by the gods.

The former is very simple, and it can be regarded as destroying the foundation of the scholarly society.

Scholars are considered a special profession in the eyes of the people of Sumeru, and in the mouths of Tighnari or Cyno, scholars will even form families with scholars who have the same research direction as themselves in order to study academic papers.

Being able to do this is closely related to the high income and high remuneration of scholars.

What is good at the top will be very bad at the bottom.

This kind of treatment is actually the Akademiya as an institution for training scholars, and at the same time directly managing the whole of Sumeru.

Enrolled in the Akademiya, behaved well, found a good teacher, and had the opportunity to directly become the ruling class of Sumeru in the future.

Many people obviously don't go down this path to explore the unknown.

Now, however, the Akademiya has become an institution that simply trains students, and it is not the same as before, and it can directly enter the ruling class in Sumeru.

This directly abolished one of the great values of the Akademiya.

But it's a good thing.

The Akademiya is simply defined as an academy, and the value of the academy is the students, teachers, literature, classics, and the like.

These things are chips that don't need to be destroyed, and need to be accumulated over a long period of time.

This meant that, in the eyes of the new ruling class, the Akademiya could exist as a separate academy.

The storm that had engulfed Sumeru had nothing to do with most of them.

Being able to live is the greatest good thing in times of chaos.

And another thing······

"Although the Great Sage is still the one with the highest power, the so-called Six Sages are at least six people ruling together, right?"

They were in good spirits.

There are two situations in politics alone, one is that your prestige is so high that the people below have not thought of refuting your opinion at all, you say, this is the truth, and the lower part is immediately executed, without doubt.

On the other hand, it is simply by virtue of tyranny and military deterrence, and does not care about the opinions of others.

No opinions, and don't care about other people's opinions.

Rama is the latter.

Although he should be the greatest hero in the history of the desert, this does not prevent him from becoming an enemy of many powerful people.

The enemy depends only on interests.

Rama is alone in power, and he kills people as a deterrent, and he is indeed hostile to many people.

It would have been an inconsequential matter.

Hostility is hostility, and Rama's power comes entirely from his own force and not from anyone's support.

Unless they can get the mechs to mutiny, no one's hostility is of any use.

"Now the situation has changed!"

Babel stood up, "The six sages are relatively equal in status, and with the presence of gods to supervise them, can he still do those things as he wants?" ”

"He has already compromised with the gods, with Rama's temperament, it is obvious that his fists are not as big as Rama's, and even his own hiding place may have been discovered by the gods, so he will compromise so quickly."

"Since he can't intimidate the gods, is there anything wrong with us obeying the will of the gods to balance Rama?"

The perfect verbal temptation requires reference to tone, pause, volume, gestures, expressions, which is the essence of speech.

Engage in resonance through physical performance and pauses in speech.

Of course, the most important part is actually interest and deterrence.

Go hand in hand with Rama and govern Sumeru together.

There are gods as a guarantee of force to ensure that everyone will not be executed by Rama for dissent.

With the benefits and the guarantees, don't you want to act?

[It's time to take the bait.] 】

Babel sneered inwardly.

She knew that these old friends of hers would be tempted.

This is not to say that they are stupid, after all, they know nothing about the inside affairs of the gods.

The results are not necessarily bad because Rama really intended to remain silent.

Rama and Babel described his next plans.

"I know you want to be in power, you want to be in power."

The communication between the adopted son and the adoptive mother is always like this, they are both the kind of people who are hungry for power, and they are wary of communicating with each other.

Well, it's not all right, Rama has changed.

"But with me, none of you will be able to get to the top, or rather, there is not much difference between you being in the top and not being in the top."

"You know and you brought it up to me." Babel's expression remained unchanged, "What, you need me to betray those old friends of mine?" ”

Rama's plans are rarely complicated.

Deterrence by force, temptation of interests.

Simple, but you don't miss a beat.

There are few people who are not greedy, and few people who are not afraid of death.

And Rama never looked for these people, so he succeeded every time.

The logic is simple, and of course it's easy to guess.

"Yes, they are your old friends, I want you to betray them, of course I will add money."

Rama didn't look up, "The Fatui know that betraying allies requires a bargain, and I know it, so I'll give you a bargaining chip you can't refuse." ”

"For example?" Babel was in the mood.

She believed Rama's words.

He said that if he couldn't refuse the benefits, he would never be able to refuse.

"One of the six sages in name, the great sage in fact, how."

Rama said casually.

When he promised these things, there was no change in the movement of his hand to flip through the literature and tome, but Babel looked stunned as if he had been struck by lightning.

"The actual Great Sage, yes, yes, the nominal Great Sage can only be you."

Her head was still working, but the logic had broken down slightly, "But why?" ”

"If I continue to be the Great Sage, the result will be no different from if I were the King."

"You'll never say no to my offer anyway." Rama looked up, "It doesn't matter, but Nahida wants a relatively peaceful and stable whole. ”

"He can't be a lone husband himself, and I don't want to be a lone man."

A gentle smile on his face, "After all, the gods don't like it." ”

"What does it have to do with him not liking you?" Babel's eyes narrowed slightly, "Do you care what other people think?" ”

It doesn't make sense.

When did you Rama ever care if others liked it or not?

"He gave a very precious chip, I took it, and all the effort was rewarded, and even owed."

Rama's smile became brighter and brighter, "You don't understand this when I tell you, you just need to tell me if you want to be a great sage." ”

"You've fallen for it?" Babel came up with a punch, "Or were you hypnotized by the god of grass with a dream?" ”

Rama raised his hand to block it, and subconsciously activated the fire elemental power.

The long knife slashed down, and finally hovered over Babel's head.

"You've gotten stronger."

The phantom behind Rama has been fully formed, and it is no longer an illusory form.

The crimson-gold humanoid, condensed purely from the power of the fire element, overlooked Babel below, its blade burning with blazing flames.

"If you're not my adoptive mother, I really want to punch you two times sometimes."

Rama sighed, "It's just a simple truth, pay for the gain, but the harvest is too much. ”

"If it's a business that I'm working with someone else and I've got an unexpected return on my investment, I don't care if I gain more, it's good luck that the business is profitable."

"But no, it's an extra reward for someone else's own subsidy."

"I was greedy and knew it was more than I had invested, so I had to make concessions elsewhere to compensate for the loss."

The human form dissipated, and Rama's expression returned to normal, "Can you understand when I describe it like this?" ”

"Understood, it's normal for you to say that." Babel didn't have the slightest fear of escaping death, "Do you know what you thought when you just said that? ”

"Don't say it, I don't want to know." Rama refused.

"Like a little boy in love, my good son." Babel did not give up the ridicule.

Rama didn't even fight back.

"Anyway, it's easy to do."

"You go and advocate for the power of those who are hungry for power to come to power, and come to challenge my power."

"And I'll be studying academics within the Akademiya in the future, and occasionally leaving Sumeru to go to other countries, but in short, I'm not involved in managing government affairs."

"The power is in the hands of you five sages, and I will support most of your proposals to ensure that you become the actual Great Sage."

Further strength made Rama completely indebted to Sumeru's management.

He didn't even want to disguise it, and brought it up directly to Nahida.

Nahida also saw that this was Rama's own desire, but he still "promised you a condition" in exchange for Rama's silence.

Rama was greedy.

Just like what happened to Dehya, he didn't really need Dehya to do anything, and the confrontation with the [Legacy of the God King] was part of the plan.

It doesn't matter if you save people, but since you save people, I must find some benefits from you.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have done it.

It's the same situation.

When he said it, he asked you for benefits.

Nahida gave him an immediate step down to make his rule relatively fair.

Nahida didn't give ······ If you don't give it to him, you'll probably leave, after all, ruling really doesn't mean much to him.

But after all, the premise of doing good is that you have done something, and you should be rewarded for doing something, and Nahida still chose to fulfill Rama and leave.

"After all, it's my sage, even if there is a little bit of a scoundrel, the gods should be responsible."

With this in mind, He owed Rama another condition.

So Rama began to form and select a new batch of six sages overnight, and at the same time planned to yo-yo as soon as possible to get Sumeru back to normal.

If you take the benefits, you have to do things.

Cooperating with the Fatui allows you to take money and do nothing, but you can't do that with the gods.

You have to do your best to do it well.

Babel didn't know what was going on, but she could tell that Rama was serious.

In an instant, she began to weigh whether or not to accept the offer.

Rama's conditions are not as likely as a pure profit for the other party.

He is so serious about rule, if he doesn't do it well, he will really kill people if he doesn't do it well.

Even with the title of adoptive mother, Babel had to admit that Rama had given herself enough things.

If a mistake is made, it is difficult to expect Rama to show mercy.

However, even though he knew the danger, in the end Babel could not refuse.

The source of her thirst for power was unknown to even herself, but she knew she couldn't live without it.

In Tanit, she wanted to become the main mother, and after Rama ascended to the throne, she became the leader among the magnates of the Sand Sea with the help of her relationship with Rama, and now the opportunity to become the actual great sage of the whole territory of Sumeru is in front of her.

She knew the danger, and she couldn't refuse.

"That's a success, you don't need to worry too much." Rama thought for a moment, "If you can't rule, then keep silent and let the people below do the work." ”

"When they succeed, you will commend and commend them, and take a share of the credit by the way."

"If they fail, you punish them and show an attitude that has nothing to do with them."

"The Great Sage doesn't need to do anything?" Babel somewhat understood that he couldn't.

Her tenure as a tribal elder was much busier than Rama had described.

[You think everyone is you, bastard!] 】

Babel was slandered.

"Yes, but I've never ruled, I don't know what to do right, so I usually don't do anything." Rama was frank, "This is my experience, you don't need it and feel free. ”

"But you don't get the price out of doing things."

He was never in charge of the decrees directly related to the rule, but only for the war part.

The former is handed over to others, and if it is not done well, it will be carried down and replaced by the next group of people.

The latter is something he can afford to pay, success is the best, and he can bear it if he fails.

Do only what you are sure of, and Rama did exactly that, with such a creed.

In this way, Rama made such an important decision about the Six Sages in the middle of the night.

Babel gave it her all and began to fool her old friends.

The division of power is definitely dominated by the desert people.

The six sages of this generation will have both desert and rainforest people, and it will probably be a hundred years after Nahida's reign that they will be able to turn these two people into Sumeru.

And the desert people, for now, can only be recruited from among these people.

Heartbeat is inevitable.

Babel's truth has benefits and guarantees, and without knowing the inside story, they really think that the gods can deter Rama, of course they want to go up.

"That's not for you to say."

Someone still suppressed his heart, "You are Rama's adoptive mother, and you and Rama are natural allies of interests. ”

In fact, it can be said that your power comes entirely from Rama, why do you dare to backstab him.

But it's very hurtful to say it too directly, as if Babel was able to take the throne entirely because of her identity rather than her ability, in fact, Babel will sit firmly in the position of the tribal master mother in the future, and it's hard to say anything else, at least in the team of Tanit, she is indeed the most outstanding one from the falcon to the master mother.

Despite the slight tactfulness, Babel still remembered the other party's name and planned to settle the score after the fall.

"How can what he can give me be more precious than what I have taken with my own hands?" Babel was very blunt in smearing Rama, "Rama's desire to control power is known to everyone, and even if I am his adoptive mother, he still won't give much trust. ”

"Before Rama, did the power you hold come from whom it was given, and not by yourselves?"

Babel scoffed.

In such an environment as the sea of sand, everyone who wants to be on top can't all depend on the gift of the top.

Elders are equal, and no matter how much they are trained, they will not let their subordinates sit in the same position as themselves.

The rest of the distance is still up to you to snatch it.

The person who can still be on the throne without fighting or grabbing will probably have to be found in a dream.

Power needs to be grabbed, and this answer has received a certain degree of recognition.

They remained silent and continued to weigh the pros and cons.

"Can the gods really suppress Rama?"

The interests are clearly seen, and Babel is clear enough.

But the drawbacks······ The disadvantage is nothing more than reaching out to power, and it may be chopped off by Rama with his paws.

Only names and instruments cannot be dummies.

Power is such a thing, theoretically given to them by the people, but in practice, when you really hold such a thing, you will only treat it as your own.

It's not given by anyone, it's yours.

When someone else wants to take it, of course you will resist.

They will rebel, and so will Rama.

It's not a problem to stand up and grab power, it's a question of how to end up after grabbing something.

"Rama originally wanted to be His Majesty the King of Sumeru." As if he had thought of something interesting, Babel couldn't help but laugh, "But now he can only become a great sage, and even have to rule with other sages." ”

"Of course he wasn't satisfied, but he could only accept it."

It doesn't make sense to reason with them, everyone has their own reasoning.

Just look at the pay and harvest.

The king and the great sage among the six sages, of course, His Majesty the king has a higher position of power.

Rama gave up his higher position and chose to become a great sage, this can't be because his head is cramping and he suddenly doesn't want to be His Majesty, right?

Someone must have held him down and forced him to give up power!

At this point, the heartbeat is already uncontrollable.

There are risks, of course, but benefits always come with risks, and risks rarely become stumbling blocks to benefits.

"Okay."

They looked at each other and gritted their teeth and spat out the answer.

This answer put a lot of pressure on them because Rama was so unscrupulous.

But after really admitting that they were chasing power, they suddenly relaxed and began to think about how they could get 100% power.

Interests and fears are hostile to each other, and there is no absolute winner.

They were afraid of Rama's intimidation, but the interests of their superiors tempted them to make a choice.

And this time, profit prevailed over fear.
