113 - The only way

After taking care of Sumeru's housekeeping a bit, Rama was already planning to travel far to Mondstadt.

If it weren't for the outrageous changes in Sumeru, there was really no way not to send someone over to take a look, and Lisa would not have left Mondstadt at all.

Mondstadt's situation was bad because Farga's expedition drew most of the elite.

The force of the Knights of Favonius was originally sufficient, but after being transferred to the elite, even a leader like Jean could not force things to do things without people.

Rama planned to take advantage of Lisa's mission and go directly to Mondstadt.

"So you're a great sage, and you're going to go to another country while someone else's is taking advantage of it?"

Faruzan has a headache.

Rama's departure was not a problem with Nahida, as he had known early on that Rama did not intend to stay in Sumeru.

Nahida knew that Rama's thoughts were not normal, but fortunately he accepted the abnormality, so he felt that there was nothing strange about it.

But for others, even if they got his promise, Cyno would think that there was probably something wrong with this person's head.

No, you said to let go of power, but it turned out that you really let go?

Just go?

Even if it's a diplomatic visit, you didn't just throw the great sage out, right?

"There's what I want there." Rama was wondering, "Is there something wrong?" ”

I want to, so I have to go.

Very normal thoughts.

Faruzan rubbed her eyebrows, "It seems normal for you to say that, but you're a great sage!" ”

"The usefulness of identity is to help you do things, not to be a hindrance to what you do." Rama didn't care.

"But you also have to be aware of the responsibilities that come with your identity." Faruzanne looked determined.

"It's not like you can say it." Rama was a little suspicious, "Aren't you a pure scholar?" ”

"Hey! You really can't speak! ”

Faruzan shook her fist.

What do you mean by "this is not like something you can say", is it so underestimated?

Damn!

"I can see what you mean."

"The great sage should have enough awareness of his identity and power, and maintain his proper demeanor and behavior."

It's not that Rama can't accept it.

It's a simple question.

Just like the usual plot in the city, when the host's family held a banquet, most of the guests chose to abide by the default rules, probably dressed appropriately, and their words and deeds were steady.

It doesn't matter if they are such people or not, but that's what they behave.

Then the protagonist walks in on flip-flops and a white shirt, and the security guard stops him and opens his mouth that I am the most comfortable like this, and I don't like it.

It's quite funny next, and then it's obvious.,Because of the conflict caused by the problem of clothing.,Pull the heroine and the little villain on the stage.。

What Faruzan means is that since you are the Great Sage of Sumeru, you should observe the manners and etiquette that a Great Sage should have in many things.

Just respect yourself, respect the Sumeru behind you.

Rama also doesn't have the emotional intelligence to spit out words like "I don't need others to respect me, it's enough for me to know my own worth."

Although he really is this kind of person.

"Don't bother Rama with this kind of thing."

The gentle and empathetic god appeared in time.

Nahida smiled and teased, "If you have more contact with Rama, you will find that he is actually very indifferent to the perception of the public. ”

"He doesn't deliberately destroy most people's lives, but when you ask him what most people are for, he will show you the case of the demon god and tell you that they are really useless."

"This is Rama, who is always looking for absolute power, and Teyvat does support his logic."

This is not so much Rama as this is the demon god.

This is the norm of the mythological view of history, and Teyvat is a relatively classic mythological view of history, and the characteristic of the heroic mythological view of history is that the public is actually an indifferent "thing", and the most important thing is that there is only one person, The One.

With this hero, everything can be changed, and without this hero, everyone will die together.

Among most myths, Eastern mythology is the most "gentle" one.

Because they have introduced things such as the theory of cause and effect, merit, and the way of heaven that bind the gods and even the demons, killing people without reason will be punished by heaven, while the gods on the ruling side can get merit and continue their practice.

Other types of myths usually do not have this constraint, and the fact that the earth is flooded on a whim, and that the fact that human beings are required to sacrifice in good faith is considered an appetizer in all kinds of myths.

This kind of myth is usually a story between a god and the children of a god, and mortals are an introduction, for example, when they suffered, the "heroic and righteous" gods and demigods traced all the way to find out that it was a monster or a god who was evil, and then they went through various hardships to obtain various artifacts to kill the evil gods and monsters.

Ordinary people, you say? They died, they were grateful, they gave everything.

No, how do you want to describe them?

In front of a group of high-level lifeforms who move mountains and reclaim the sea at every turn, what else can they do but kowtow?

Rama thought for a moment, "You say that it makes me seem that I am cold and ruthless, I don't like it. ”

Nahida straightened Rama's hair, "But no, she won't deliberately interfere with the lives of ordinary people, and will even use her abilities to help them live." ”

"That's good."

If you don't interfere in the lives of others, your attitude doesn't matter.

What is afraid is action.

It doesn't matter if you think they're not important.

Everyone has their own lives, and no one cares what you think.

But if you really want to make them disappear because you don't think they're important, it's outrageous.

Rama didn't think so.

At most, he doesn't care about other people's attitudes, but he hasn't thought about simply letting others disappear just because others are useless.

That's good.

He's doing things, he's helping, his attitude is a little bit bad, but he doesn't have any superfluous movements.

"Fair assessment." Rama nodded.

Although it is not a praise of merit, it is very pertinent, and he is willing to accept it.

Faruzan pursed her lips, "You just spoil him." ”

After spending some time with the gods, Faruzan was less respectful.

She still respects this young but diligent god, but she doesn't call each other the little auspicious grass king at every turn.

"He's my dependent, and he'll be my companion for a long, long time in the future." Nahida's smile was bright, "Of course I'm biased towards Rama. ”

He gave Rama his hand, and Rama took it by the hand.

There was something strange about Faruzanne's expression.

No, it won't, right?

So outrageous? How did you do it?

Inevitably the wind was killed again, Rama opened his mouth to explain, but the afterglow saw Nahida's narrow smile.

He had read his mind, and he must have read Faruzanne's heart.

"Take it, friend." Rama raised an eyebrow, "Your bad thoughts have been read by the gods. ”

"You have defiled the pure mind of the gods, you have broken the law, do you know?"

Faruzan pinched her waist with her hands, her face flushed, "I don't have any unclean thoughts, it's that you think too much." ”

Rama looked at Nahida, meaning you to prove who is right.

The god smiled softly, but didn't get involved in the playful argument.

"In short, this matter is a matter of identity." Faruzan brought the topic back on track, "You're not an ordinary Sumeru person, but a great sage of Sumeru. ”

"You can't just go to Mondstadt just because of who you are."

The issue of identity continues to be investigated, in fact, it is a question of power.

Rama is the great sage of Sumeru, and his position is equal to that of Falga and Archbishop Simon of the Cathedral of Zephyr, and the power of Jean is also inferior to him.

This contrast of status should usually be backed by the strength of the state, and the emissaries of the powerful state can even intimidate the monarch of the weaker state.

However, Teyvat's earthly kingdoms are equal, and they don't fight each other, and you may know that Mondstadt is weak, but it's hard to say where Mondstadt and Anemo are in line.

Respect the gods and be humble.

Before the gods have no attitude, they are usually the ones who have no obvious attitude.

The attitude of the Fatui is so tough, in fact, it is also the empress's attitude tendency is too obvious.

Sumeru and Mondstadt are on equal footing, while Rama is the actual master of Sumeru, but Koto, is not.

He just followed Mondstadt's mission, and neither side could hold back.

Although Lisa agreed at the time, she didn't expect Rama to be so free, so she just left.

"That's exactly what happened." Nahida nodded, "That Lady Lisa Mintz, she just thought you communicated with her and then brought the details to the acting head of the Knights of Favonius. ”

"She thought she was providing a channel for high-level communication between the two sides, but she didn't expect you to follow you directly."

"You're in a hurry, Rama."

Nahida tilted her head.

He doesn't doubt Rama's position, and he doesn't care why Rama knows a lot of things that he shouldn't know in his capacity.

It doesn't matter.

There are many secrets in the world, but not every one of them is worth digging up.

Nahida is the goddess of wisdom, and she knows the trade-offs best.

"I'm in a bit of a hurry." Rama did not hide it, "If I wait for a reply from Jean and then I am on my way to Mondstadt, I'm afraid that the dragon plague in Mondstadt will be over at that time." ”

During the Dragoncalypse, Dvalin was a Stormterror.

After the Dragon Plague, Dvalin is the Dragon of the East Wind.

The results of the two periods were not the same.

Even if the Knights of Favonius saw Dvalin's identity, they could only swallow their anger.

But once the latter gets its hands dirty, it will cause unnecessary trouble.

What's more, this silence almost meant missing the entire Mondstadt plot.

Rama didn't have any obsession getting involved in the plot, he just didn't want to miss Dvalin.

Dragons have been a special and powerful life form in many mythological histories, especially in Teyvat.

Teyvat itself was owned by the Seven Dragons, and it wasn't until they were defeated by Phanes that there was no room for humans in this world.

According to the plot, Dvalin's personality should be at the same level as the grass dragon Apep.

Maybe the Wind Dragon has already been killed, and Dvalin is the new Wind DragonΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· The possibilities are numerous, but none of them will affect the value of Dvalin.

"Then you don't have to obey the restrictions of the Great Sage." Nahida squeezed Rama's palm, "The Great Sage shouldn't be your restraint. ”

"Even if I enjoy the power that the Great Sage brings?" Rama was also idle and flustered.

"Power and responsibility are equal, but before you can take power, you saved me first." The god said unhurriedly, "According to everyone, I am Sumeru's most precious treasure. ”

"You saved me, and you have a great favor to Sumeru, then power itself is the reward you deserve."

"You always have a point." Rama let out a sigh.

"There is always a reward for doing things, isn't that what you taught me?" Nahida blinked.

"Forget it." Rama looked at Faruzan, "I remember someone who always wanted to hold a celebration for the little auspicious grass king?" ”

"Invite them over, and use the power of the Akademiya to celebrate our grass god."

Give Nahida a nice birthday.

The rest of the matter, there is nothing to worry about.

"The celebration called [Flower's Birthday]?" Faruzan quickly remembered, "It is said that it was the birthday of the little auspicious grass king, and it was actually the day when the sages found him. ”

"In the earliest days, this ancient festival was actually celebrated for the birthday of the Great Tree King, and it is said that it was the birthday of the Tree King, and his friends gathered here to celebrate him."

"Several of the gods at the banquet were drunk, and one of them took advantage of the excitement to play, so the king of trees sang and the god of flowers danced."

"And after the death of Lord Tree, it was used, and the time was changed to the birthday of Lord Little Auspicious Grass King."

Rama snorted.

This guy who was drunk and played while he was playing, if he was a god, his identity was actually quite obvious.

I see the shadow of my old friend.

Are you called Barbatos?

This was an early form of the Alternative Seven, when Barbatos had long since ceased to work, and the relatively detailed records of Mondstadt's history would only prove that he appeared three times.

The first time was to defeat the Lone King of the Tower and ascend to the throne of the Wind God.

The second was during the oppression of the old aristocracy, and he helped Vanessa to establish New Mondstadt.

The third time was 500 years ago, when he cooperated with Dvalin in the snowy mountains to kill Durin.

This is Barbatos, if you want to be free, I'll give you freedom, but when the time comes, if you think you have something to do, you can find me, you can try it.

Only if Barbatos himself thought it was a troublesome matter, he would consider intervening.

Even if he did, he tried to guide the humans to do it themselves, and only when they were completely unable to cope with the opponent, Barbatos would personally intervene.

The god of flowers is still alive, this is after the Seven Rulers, before the Black Plague five hundred years ago, there are still three gods in Sumeru during this period, and the original thunder god Raiden of Inazuma should really be alive.

It was a peaceful timeΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· So it must be Barbatos, yes.

"Bring Hazard and them out, it's almost the same anyway, and then light them up with sky lanterns."

When Faruzan said this, Rama of course remembered these old friends again.

The experiment is almost the same, but it can still be used, but it is not necessary.

Order it.

Show the big guys in Sumeru City a fireworks.

The second half that Faruzan didn't say.

The Akademiya holds an existing celebration change, which then acts as Nahida's birthday celebration.

Later, it was simply not done.

Before Ramagan overturned the Shariya, Sumeru still mentioned the Great Tree of Mercy in various festivals celebrating the gods.

The people below can see it, and you said that in order to celebrate the tree king, the Akademiya may personally participate, and even allocate funds to help you.

You said that you want to celebrate the little auspicious grass king, we have to check it a little strictly, friend, you don't seem to have this qualification, right?

Dinazada applied many times, and it was useless to even pay for it herself.

"It is also forbidden to hold large-scale worship of the gods in private", which is a good reason.

We won't do it, and if you want to do it, you're breaking the law.

I can be a little soft-hearted if you have to continue, and I will deal with you according to the law.

I can't bear it.

The Grand Bazaar is full of ordinary ordinary people who work hard for their lives, and they did try, but in the face of the power of the Akademiya, ordinary people are generally not tough.

"Are you mad at me?"

Nahida was skilled in the various methods of appeasing Rama.

If you tell him not to kill, Rama will probably not listen.

He had repeatedly determined that these people were useless, and that if you killed them, you would be able to make yourself happy, and you would not be able to save them for any reason.

Because they're really useless.

"I shouldn't be angry," Rama thought for a moment, "I should have arranged this a long time ago when I thought about it, but I still wanted to leave Sumeru." ”

He traded with Tartaglia for half a day, and it seemed that he could only use half of his chips.

"You have your own things to do, that's normal." Nahida shook her head, "I'm not really interested in the so-called festivals and celebrations. ”

Just as Nahida knew about Rama, Rama actually knew how to make Nahida have a little expression.

"Did you hear that, the gods don't look down on us Sumeru people." Rama raised an eyebrow at Farusanne, "He doesn't want to accept our faith. ”

Faruzanne: ???

, you two immortals are fighting, you have to get me involved to be happy?

"Rejoicing for the gods is not the need of the gods, but the needs of the people." Rama said, "You have to let the people know that you will be happy with the celebrations they organize. ”

Sacrifice is to seek the protection of the gods.

The one who is ostensibly giving resources, loyalty, and faith is actually the one who gets the most.

Because they will be given a chance to live because of it.

This is the case with the festival of Inazuma Tsurukan.

The only problem is that they made a blood sacrifice based on the primitive concept of sacrifice, which actually angered the god of Tsurukan, and then the entire Tsurukan people were slaughtered by the Thunderbirds.

Thunderbird later went to Kiyorai Island, and was finally killed by Raiden Shogun, and it became a world mission again.

But that's the sacrifice.

In the face of uncontrollable natural disasters, you can't really do nothing.

And sacrifice is the only way for mortals.
