153 - Minor Questions
Angel's Gift.
Before he even stepped onto that bridge, Rama had already met the squire of Legmond Fender.
They entered Mondstadt with Rama in disguise.
The Knight of Favonius at the door is not an ornament after all, and once he enters Mondstadt as Rama, he will inevitably attract Jean's attention.
Moreover, he had to free his hands to see Jean once.
This is what a great sage should do.
Rama enjoys the gifts and powers that come with his status, and he cannot avoid the responsibilities and obligations that this status should fulfill.
So Rama simply avoided Mondstadt's official powers, intending only to make contact with Diluc.
"Good day, Mr. Diluc."
Rama spoke softly, "Long time no see, Mr. Kaeya. ”
He looked at the Fire and Ice Man brothers and smiled, "I hope my visit didn't cause any trouble for the two of you." ”
Diluc glanced at the high platform, where the bard above was still drinking, and apparently didn't intend to interject the topic right now.
"I still have to thank the Grass God for his help," everyone habitually thanked each other, "If it weren't for the Grass God's Crown, I'm afraid Mondstadt would have paid an even heavier price." ”
"But we didn't give anything in return to the god of grass, it's a shame."
Rama's expression remained unchanged and he continued to greet the brothers.
[This is to remind me that the reason for tolerating me is to repay the gods, so now everyone is clear? 】
Isn't that earned for nothing?
Nahida would definitely not do anything with this kind of favor, but she has all the favors, and it's a pity not to use them.
Since you intend to repay this favor on me, then I will make the lion open his mouth.
The greetings are still for the sake of the topic.
After chatting with Rama for a while, Kaeya was talking about sexuality, but Diluc was a little nervous.
He was also a Knight of Favonius who could sit in the conference room for hours and listen, but since the events of Cripps, Diluc has chosen to travel the North.
During this time, Diluc's most common thing to do was to search for information about the Fatui and then go straight to the door to pursue more clues.
Human experience determines character, and this travel experience has caused Diluc to lose his superficial interest in most things, and he prefers to go straight and solve problems as quickly as possible.
"Let's get down to business, Your Excellency."
Diluc's expression was serious, "In the Knights' intelligence system, we have discovered that you seem to be experimenting with the Fatui on humans. ”
"In principle, the Knights can only say that they will do their best to investigate the death of the Fatui due to various accidents, but as the body that governs Mondstadt, the Order needs an answer anyway."
That's a pretty mild question.
He was addressed as His Excellency the Great Sage, and only mentioned the Fatui, without showing specific evidence.
Of course, there are all kinds of things, but after seeing that people give face, you can't take it.
You don't have any of these things, and you can put them on the table if you don't take them.
"In fact, these studies are all based on my own selfish desires." Rama candidly explained, "I want to be stronger. ”
Kaeya and Diluc suddenly became serious.
The exchange of sincerity had just begun, and Rama actually attacked straight punches directly.
Did you engrave the map on the dagger?
Rama pushed the suitcase in his hand and put his true sincerity on the table.
Kaeya glanced at Diluc, then reached out to open the suitcase first.
"Alchemy potion?" Kaeya said quietly, "Although I understand your desire to become stronger, after all, everyone wants to be stronger. ”
As if remembering something, he had an embarrassed smile on his face: "For example, Mondstadt at the moment, outsiders may not know the inside story, but you are Mondstadt's own person, and of course you know what kind of humiliation Mondstadt suffered during the Dragon Calamity." ”
"We all want to be strong, and the idea that you want to be strong is a matter of course."
Of course, it's my own.
Just the god of grass personally saved the scene, no matter how you count, you have to make the kindness clear.
Besides, Albedo didn't really be dumb either.
Klee is still living in the Order, and Albedo knows how to befriend the Order.
Rama's research progressed, and he would also inform Kaeya.
I can only inform Kaeya.
If Jean knew, it was Kaeya who decided that Jean should know.
If Jean didn't know, he told Kaeya when he asked about it later, but he didn't expect him to deceive Jean.
I'm an alchemist, and I've done everything I need to do, and I haven't thought of the chaos within you, what does this have to do with me.
Albedo's intelligence is the key to settling the Fire and Ice brothers.
Of course, they can see what Ramado's character test is for.
Finding the good guys and the bad guys in the Treasure Hoarders is more than a superfluous move!
But it is this method of painting a snake that shows Rama's kindness.
Conversely, Rama could tell what the brothers had done by not kicking open the door to his laboratory at the moment.
It's a good attitude to know what you've done, but not to do anything back about it, just to keep silent.
Few secrets are completely hidden, and everyone tacitly exchanges things with each other, which can be done without communication at all.
Kaeya declared Rama's own identity, and Diluc was silent and did not refute it.
The bard on the tall building put down his glass and looked out the window with a deep groan.
"But human beings are inherently vulnerable." Rama's words suddenly became heavy, "I used to rely on the Tanit tribe to survive in the vast sea of sand. ”
"Throughout my childhood and adolescence, I witnessed the powerlessness of human beings in the sandy sea."
It's not that heavy.
There are no gods in the desert, but the desert people will not be completely unable to live.
What's more, the biggest enemy at that time was actually Sumeru, who was under the jurisdiction of the Akademiya.
Diluc's face is expressionless, and Kaeya laments for Rama's "tragic" experience.
Ah, yes, yes, your childhood was so miserable.
Not many people believe in this piece.
But the other part is what they believe, that human beings are inherently weak.
The poet on the tall building sighed, his fingertips wrapped around the slight flow of wind.
"If we leave the Vision aside, we won't be able to harness the elemental power."
"It is true that there is a genius in the history of Mondstadt who did not have a vision at all, but who still became the head of the Knights." Rama said in a deep voice, "But you and I both know that geniuses are always in the minority. ”
"Lion of Light Elendrin." Diluc whispered.
"In the legend, there are two forms of Zephyr swordsmanship, one is the swordsmanship that the Knights have preserved today, inherited from the [young wolf] Rustan."
It is characterized by lightness, speed and precision.
Legend has it that Rustan was able to cut down the rain that fell, and the wind energy generated by the sword dance cut off roses and extinguished torches.
"On the opposite side of Rustan, Elendrin's Zephyr swordsmanship was lost, because this kind of swordsmanship required too much strength, and only the most talented could use it, so it gradually disappeared into history."
Rama lowered his eyes.
If Ellendlin's swordsmanship was really lost for this reason, it means that his swordsmanship level is too high and his innate strength is too strong.
Only then can we explain why there is no successor.
According to the records of the people of Mondstadt, the Lion of Light did not have a Vision, which means that he really did not have a brilliant record in Mondstadt's history on his own.
If the people of Mondstadt were all macho men like Elendrin, there would be nothing to say.
Not to mention the "little play" of the Fatui now, on the day of Durin's attack five hundred years ago, Doolin also had to be slapped twice.
Unfortunately, Ellendlin and Rustan were also unique geniuses during the Black Plague five hundred years ago.
The criteria for geniuses were not for Mondstadt, but for the continent at the time, they were all considered top-notch geniuses.
Kaeya and Diluc understood Rama's core argument in an instant.
Humanity is not without heroes who can transcend racial restrictions and fight against powerful monsters across races.
But it would be very uninteresting to always make exceptions to the prevailing reality.
Kaeya's lips were a little dry.
Rama's goal is clear.
What he had done in Sumeru, combined with the subjects they had deliberately exposed to them, made it almost clear what Rama wanted to do.
He gave up.
If human talents are limited, then take everything from those beings with higher talents.
Rama conceded defeat, he did not ask anyone for an explanation, but instead represented humanity and recognized the basic advantages of the more powerful races in Teyvat—strong physical fitness, easier control, and greater elemental power······· Yes, I admit it, you are the stronger in these areas.
But admitting defeat is not resigning fate.
After acknowledging the inadequacy of the human body, Rama immediately intended to seize the traits of other powerful races, and in turn strengthen the human body... Despite seeing the experimental logs, Kaeya had a hard time agreeing on whether or not these people could still be considered purely human.
But now is a good opportunity.
After being turned in by the Order and the Fatui, Mondstadt is now in a rare quest for power.
The free people of Mondstadt realized that neither the Aeolus nor the Order could completely protect them, and most of them scolded and put their efforts until tomorrow, while a few simply chose to start working immediately.
Being alive is always a high-level driving force, and when survival is threatened, the people of Mondstadt are a little more uplifted, even if it's useless anymore.
Whether it's working hard today or tomorrow, the wind in Mondstadt is already a little more martial at the moment.
"Lion of Light: Allen Delin······ Such a genius is indeed rare in a century. Diluc took a deep breath, "He has the power to change his fate on a small scale, but on a large scale, the people of Mondatest can still only rely on the gods. ”
And more ordinary people, they have no ability to change their fate, and can only accept the arrangement of fate in silence.
"You're too pessimistic, Mr. Diluc." Rama smiled and shook his head.
Change your fate on a small scale, and accept the arrangement of fate on a large scale.
It's not Ellendrin's problem, if anything, that's the whole Teyvat environment.
Zhongli had arranged a retirement battle for himself, and the Seven Stars fought to the end, and the only means that could be used to restrain the immortals was Liyue Harbor.
They want to gamble, bet that the immortals will pity ordinary Liyue people and will not kill them.
What the Seven Stars want to do during this time is to kick the Immortals out of Liyue Harbor so that they no longer have any possibility of threatening the Seven Stars' rule.
Of course, we can put it another way: they obeyed Morax's will and wanted to establish a system of human rule that would be completely free of the power of the immortals, and that the humans themselves would rule over themselves.
And the tragedy lies in the fact that the confidence of the Seven Stars to maintain the rule of the people is not their own strength, but that the immortals will take the initiative to choose to compromise.
Just like a war, you are sure of victory not because you are strong or the enemy is weak, but because you decide that you want to fight the other party and can't bear to kill ordinary people, the other party will follow the king's orders, and finally choose to compromise.
Your confidence is the weakness of your enemies.
To be reasonable, this kind of thing is quite funny when put in the story.
But Seven Stars succeeded.
It can be seen that reality is occasionally more absurd than the story.
That's the norm in Teyvat.
Freedom, rule of man······ All of this is premised on the will of the gods.
Barbatos and Morax are willing to let go, so it's freedom and man's rule.
But what if they had their own plans, their own ideas to carry out?
Solstice under the rule of the god of ice, Inazuma under the rule of the god of thunder, this is the truth of the world.
It's easy to skip this topic.
Everyone looked at each other on the table, Kaeya reached out and pushed the glass, Rama took it, and then drank it happily, and the discussion about the gods came to an end.
The alchemical potion that did not yet have a shadow suddenly jumped on the god's body, but this was Teyvat.
If you want to be a god, you can never bypass a god.
"Although there are only a few people like the [Lion of Light], with the protection of the gods, we are the masters of this world." Rama smiled heartily, "You're too pessimistic, Mr. Diluc. ”
"We are the true masters of the Seven Earthly Kingdoms, Teyvat."
Kaeya had a strange look on his face.
He is blessed by the gods and the true master······· This argument is too contradictory.
Rama's trust in the gods doesn't seem to be very high.
But the God of Grass had come to Mondstadt to save him, so he probably didn't distrust the God of Grass, he was naturally full of fear of weakness.
Then this is really a pure person, because he doesn't like to be weak, so he will try any path.
"Of course, we can't rely too much on the gods." Rama shrugged, "Whether it's the gods of Mondstadt or the gods of Sumeru, they have given us too much trust and expectation. ”
"That's why we need to grow up as soon as possible."
Nahida had to look forward to it.
Wendy took the initiative to give freedom.
The reason is no longer important, what matters is the current situation.
Diluc lowered his voice: "There is a presumptuous question, whether the grass god of your country is a little too young. ”
The Demon God's appearance on the outside is almost similar to that of a human, and his too young form is almost a clear proof that Nahida's strength is not strong enough.
"It's a bit hard to say, but we're already partners, and it's not something that has to be hidden." Rama was silent for a moment.
His gaze fell on the suitcase and swept away.
These people are about to join his experiments, and Eden Hazard is dead cleanly, so there is no need to keep this secret.
"There's a little bit of this history... Humiliation. ”
Rama whispered, "Five hundred years ago, the god of grass lost his power due to some kind of calamity. ”
Rama checked the history of the revisions, and Tongzige preserved him so that he did not lose his memory in the large-scale revision.
He knew how history was recorded and described it according to their records.
"After that, the six sages welcomed back the gods, but discovered the fact that the gods were weak."
"Under normal circumstances, they will become the assistant ministers of the gods when they are young, helping the gods to grow up as soon as possible and accept the powers that he should accept."
"But that's not the case."
Rama was duly silent.
This silence and "yet" have revealed the answer, and the group of people who are supposed to assist the gods have clearly embarked on a path hostile to the gods.
However, Rama's success and the platform of the god of grass are also the most recent, which means that the six sages of the past dynasties have suppressed the gods in total... Five hundred years?
This group of people actually managed to suppress the gods for five hundred years?!
"The god of grass is a benevolent and wise god, but when it comes to strength, I don't want to cause him too much trouble." Rama let out a sigh, "Maybe we should try to rely on ourselves. ”
"But as you said, human beings are naturally weaker than these special beings in terms of strength." Kaeya is a good guy.
"So, that's what I've been doing recently." The smile on Rama's face was relieved.
Although he doesn't think there's anything worth saying about this success, you always have to show a little more emotion for your results in front of your trade partner, even if it's pretending.
In this way, they will feel more at ease when they pay.
"The initial experiments had a lot of drawbacks, and the alchemy potion always left certain abnormal changes to the volunteers who underwent the experiment."
"Fortunately, with the help of Albedo and Miss Sucrose, the experiment quickly made a breakthrough."
"And now, we've finished the finished product."
Rama smiled and promoted his work, "An alchemical potion that can acquire monsters almost perfectly, but completely retain the normal appearance of the human body." ”
It's just that it's just stable on the outside.
The talent of monsters also depends on certain special structures inside the body that are different from the human body.
If you want to get the talent of the other party, you will inevitably move closer to the other person's body structure.
Diluc was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke: "Although the effect of the alchemy potion has not been verified, if it is the work of His Excellency Rama, Lygunfender is willing to invest in it. ”
"I have a small problem, though."
