244 - Old and New Civilizations
The story of Yuanxia Palace is quite long.
Starting with the preparation of the Imperial Spirit Festival, arrive at the Great Day Imperial Palace, and use the Reincarnation of the Revital Soul to awaken the [Eternal Shadow], these shadows symbolize the last information left behind by the people of the White Night, and the information will open the world mission to help unlock the story of the entire Yuanxia Palace.
However, a considerable part of this story is devoted to the story of the human race from the establishment of the Great Nippon Imperial Court to the arrival of Orobus.
It cannot be said to be boring, and it involves various tasks of power struggle and resistance to tyranny, and it can be regarded as a fairly conventional part of human history. The peaceful environment brought by the Great Sun Imperial Opinion immediately caused the White Night Kingdom to start the most regular and primitive battles, and they didn't even bother to waste time with the dragon lizard.
The dragon lizard can't enter the core position of the Great Sun Imperial Palace, but the position of the powerful must be in the core place.
This is the usual response before the logic of war changes.
Knives, guns, and bows are used as weapons, and they can only support the opponent to pry through the defense line step by step from the frontier, and then have a chance to deter the national capital at the heart.
The big guys who really have the power to decide the war are often only in this place, where they have too much time to enjoy the peace and then slowly make that crucial decision.
But the change of weapons has changed this logic, and the logic of modern warfare is, of course, to pour fire on where decisions can be made.
This means that the cost of war has increased.
The person who can decide the power of war is attacked first, not after killing a circle of ordinary people, can deter the core, and the modification of the logic of war makes anyone who has the ability to decide war have to think carefully.
Obviously, deterrence is the primary supporting force for peaceful existence, and force is the prerequisite for peace.
The Great Day Goyoshi could not provide the power to counterattack, but it provided a peaceful place to live.
Peace, so began to stage the most basic and core power struggle of mankind.
Rama believed that emptiness would not be interested in these things.
If there was any social system in the world he walked through that was made up of human beings, or even human-like intelligent beings, he would have witnessed and witnessed this behavior many times.
With a purposeful search, he was soon able to complete the established ritual.
"Here you go, it's Bloodbranch Coral."
The blonde stranger looked cold.
He handed the coral fragment in his hand to Rama and waited for further hints from him.
"Thanks, that's the time to complete another deal." Rama smiled and thanked, "Of course, I know you don't care much about Watatsumi Island, and the truth you care about needs you to find the [Eternal Shadow] in the library and get information from her." ”
"Is the truth so dangerous?" Sora frowned slightly, "I've been observing for a long time, and I can basically be sure that you know exactly where that thing is. ”
"But you have repeatedly been vague, and you have even delegated this responsibility to others."
Knowledge is the bait that floats on the surface of the sea of ignorance······ What exactly is buried in Teyvat?
"If I knew the cost, I wouldn't be so cautious." Rama smiled wryly, "You think too highly of me, I don't know the price of everything. ”
"The simplest thing is, if I had known that I would have risked my life to come to Inazuma, I wouldn't have considered going to Inazuma."
If it is Sumeru, even if Lei Movie comes, he has the capital to refuse.
But this is Inazuma, and He is the only true God of Inazuma, and if you don't come, you can say anything, and if you come, you have to obey His commands.
This is the logic of the Seven Ruling Systems of the Earthly Realm.
You are in the realm of a god, and you will naturally submit to His commands.
Sora was silent for a moment before asking, "So, I still need to wait for Bloodbranch Coral to complete the Imperial Spirit Sacrifice before I can start the final step." ”
If the library has a permanent shadow to inquire about, then it is clear that there are such "NPCs" elsewhere.
But Empty doesn't care.
In many adventures, he had never been given such a direct hint.
He really didn't bother to pay attention to external objects.
"No, the Imperial Spirit Sacrifice is a matter for the heart of the Sango Palace, in fact, when you complete the trial, the Eternal Shadow should have already begun to appear." Rama stretched out his hand and gestured, "You can always go and seek the truth you want." ”
Sora looked at Paimon, hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "I want to ask you for something." ”
"If that's it, I think we need to ask the person concerned." Rama doesn't have to guess at all.
Paimon yawned as she floated, only to notice that the eyes of the two had fallen on her.
"What's wrong, what's wrong? Are we going to leave the Enxia Palace? ”
The environment of Yuanxia Palace is a little harsh, and even if the empty cooking skills are superb here, it is inevitable that there will be some useless tastes.
Besides, Paimon still likes to eat something new and delicious, rather than just staring at what he has eaten.
Watatsumi Island must have its own special cuisine, right?
Before coming, Paimon Jr. also had some small plans.
"Almost, with a little rest after that." Rama smiled and affirmed Paimon's vacation.
The library's sin shadow painting requires more than just [Sun and Moon Past], although Sora is busy, as long as he accepts the commission, he will definitely find it all.
Four of them are in Yuanxia Palace, there is no map to guide them, and Huizhen only knows some news about a [Sun and Moon Past], and it is already a little difficult to retrieve these four books.
The other one has disappeared into history, and if you want to find it, you have to go to Inazuma Castle and buy an ancient book from there.
Of course, this is in the game.
In reality, from Watatsumi Island to Inazuma Castle, just to find a book, this is to the extent that even Paimon would scold for being insane.
But these ancient books, according to the requirements of Orobas, can be sealed, and probably only a few will be re-copied and organized.
For example, the Watatsumi Imperial Spirit Sacrifice, this is obviously a ritual that should have existed during the White Night Kingdom period, and will definitely be used by future generations.
Naturally, the Coral Palace will specially organize excerpts for future generations to find and use.
Maybe you can try it from Sangonomiya or Aki.
But no matter what, he must have been leaving Yuanxia Palace for a while.
And this time is the best opportunity to experiment.
Regarding the remains of Orobas, Rama has been studying it for some time now.
He gave up at the time, but the records of the experiment were still in his mind, and as long as the materials were in place, he could make a replica at any time.
But this is not a short-term job, maybe you can try to entrust some news to Sora, and then let him solve Sumeru's troubles.
Rama began to think in his heart.
The only trouble in Sumeru during this period is actually only the dragon of grass.
Although the Forest Book did not proceed, Nahida arrived at the World Tree ahead of schedule and directly solved the problem of the Dead Realm at its root.
Lannaro no longer has to use his memory to suppress the roots of the Dead Realm on a regular basis, and there is no need for the Forest Book to happen.
The desert book involves the secrets of the Red King and the God of Flowers, and it won't be a big problem if you don't care about it, in the end, it's a background story, and it has nothing to do with the pain of ordinary people.
And the book of the god of flowers······ It depends on the time, the collusion between the Correction Corps and the Order in the desert is not a trouble that will explode in the short term, if his experiment can be successful, he will naturally be able to return before the trouble breaks out.
If it fails, why should the dead bother with so many things?
When Sangonomiya was in a hurry, she also wanted to pull out the current gods and shrine maidens of the past to refute it, but she was angry and angry that when they controlled Watatsumi Island, the relationship between Watatsumi Island and the shogunate did not ease in any way, so that today it is easy to be used by others, but there is no way to refuse.
But in the end, she could only sigh.
After all, the dead can only take the blame and cannot bear the responsibility.
The Grass Dragon is an immediate problem, and the Black Mist beneath the Chasm is Liyue's problem, and Morax is able to get up from the ground and continue working.
It's no secret that the old man jumps sideways repeatedly, and although his last stroke is very similar, since it is the second time, many Liyue people are also muttering if there will be a third time.
At the end of his thoughts, Rama naturally had the chips to drive the emptiness.
But this will be after the [Sun and Moon Ago], he must know the Seven Dragons first, and then he can recommend to him the matter of the Grass Dragon Apep.
Anyway······· If the Dragon King is Zhongli's personal legendary mission, according to the event, Sora should not have seen that rock dragon, right?
However, in the case of the Ryuta King, Sora did not play a big role, mainly Paimon.
My employer says I know someone who knows the most about ore and geology, and Paimon says I don't believe it, but the one I know knows best!
The employer then brought out the Ryuking Radha who had come to Morax, and Paimon brought out Morax.
These two Wolong Phoenix Chicks are really powerful, and they are all big shots.
And at this time, Ruotuo Shannian, who had lost his memory, only remembered that he was looking for someone, but he didn't remember who he was looking for.
Zhongli had a guess at a glance, but he was still unsure, so he simply followed the commission, and finally found the Fulongshu and found Ruotuo's evil thoughts that were digging the seal.
Then Shannian took Zhongli to beat Evil Thoughts, pressed his seal again, and told Morax to come and see the seal early next time, otherwise I would have slipped out.
I'm not in my right mind right now, and once you get out of Liyue, you won't have any good juice to eat······· Ah, how to put it, it's just that the relationship between the rock dragon and the rock god is indeed quite good.
It's true that the hollow doesn't have much effect, and Paimon is too, mainly through verbal confrontation to get the two key people to meet.
But even without this opportunity, with the Dragon King's attachment to Morax, Rama believed that he would still be able to find Zhongli.
In addition, the Dragon of Rock, the Dragon of the Wind, and the Dragon King of the Water are obviously a group of dragon kings who have forgotten their hatred in Apep's mouth.
They know no more about the world of Teyvat than they do about it.
As Apepe, who has lived from the time of the throne to the present, he is clearly the direct witness of many secrets.
However, the plot is not allowed to ask more, otherwise the bottom pants of the game will be shaken out, and there will be no way to continue digging holes in the future.
Of course, in reality, Apep is mostly limited.
Both Zhongli and Wendy could only remain silent, and the world of Teyvat was a real taboo when it came to knowledge.
He who knows cannot say, or even know.
Orobus knew that he would have to die, and Apep tried to get into contact with the forbidden knowledge, but was warned by the Nail of the Cold Sky, and finally put his hope on the Red King.
The Red King is also a ruthless character, directly using him as a safe, using Apep's body as a container to carry forbidden knowledge to prevent these things from causing greater pollution.
This wave dispelled Apep's pride.
Before, it was a small god and a small person, but after returning to normal, I can't argue with it.
Look, I'm a lot more sensible all of a sudden.
When a person is punched, he thinks about limited modesty, and dragons are obviously no exception.
But Apep was already a very rebellious dragon, and after the death of the [Dragon King], he still wanted to continue to resist.
Several other dragons of the same period, Dvalin was muttering at the wind god, accusing Barbatos of not doing his job, and Jota told the rock god to hurry up and strengthen the seal, or I would get out and go crazy, water dragon······ The water dragon is working for the water god, and it is difficult to say whether Fontaine is the country of the water god or the water dragon.
Apep probably doesn't know about these things.
He knew it, and he should have gone crazy.
What kind of teammates are these? Can you win with this kind of teammate?
Clicked the next handful!
The current Seven Dragons are a little abstract, he has seen the sun and the moon before, and he has encountered the Seven Dragons, and the only thing he can count on is Apep.
And Apep happens to be Sumeru's current trouble.
"King of the Great Mercy Tree······ What a great character. ”
He counted everything, including Nahida's future deletion of forbidden knowledge, which would cause the grass dragon to go insane.
During Nahida's mission, the experience is described as a collaboration between the King of Grass and the tribes attached to Apep, who created a fire that was eventually used to help the Dragon of Grass recover.
Nahida thought it was her own means and arrangement.
But the whole story of Teyvat, since the birth of Nahida, he has been cultivating in the Pure Good Palace, and it is impossible to find time to lay out Apep.
Obviously, this is the preparation that the Great Mercy Tree King had begun to make before the forbidden knowledge was deleted.
And the overlap of the two histories becomes the layout of Nahida.
In Sumeru, except for the contamination of forbidden knowledge that exceeded the expectations of the Great Mercy Tree King, almost all the rest of the stories are in the arrangement of the Great Mercy Tree King.
"Did you mention a name just now?" Mi frowned slightly.
She doesn't know anything about the outside world, and if she talks to her about the Great Mercy Tree King, she won't know either.
But she won't stay in the Yuanxia Palace forever.
"The Sangonomiya has heard of your existence, and after the [Present God Shrine Maiden] has presided over the Watatsumi Imperial Spirit Festival, she will personally come down to invite you." Rama didn't answer, "So what do you think, do you still want to continue living in the Yuanxia Palace?" ”
She accepted Rama's words, and naturally had to admit her identity as the envoy of the Watatsumi.
However, Atsumi was not greatly affected.
"I'm able to communicate with the dragon lizard, and that's obviously due to the talent of the Watatsumi envoy." Atsumi whispered, "If I get some kind of convenience because of the talent of this identity, then I get the benefits that come with this identity." ”
"After enjoying the benefits, I should be responsible for this identity."
"It's clean." Rama clapped his hands, "However, I remember I told you that the situation in the outside world is different, and you are not that important. ”
Strictly speaking, the status of the envoy of Watatsumi means two peculiarities: one is that he is a dependant of the gods and has been favored by the gods; The other is that as a dependant of the gods, they will naturally enjoy the respect of humans who are protected by the gods.
The Watatsumi envoy is the first family member of Orobas, and the people will naturally respect his family when they follow the name of the great god of the sea.
But Ami did not enjoy the worship of the people, did not drive power, and naturally did not have to be responsible to the people.
But her longevity, her strength, and her special ability to communicate with dragon lizards are all benefits that come with being an envoy of the kaizumi.
Enjoying the benefits of this status, it is natural that he will also fulfill the responsibilities of the Watatsumi envoy to the gods.
Of course, the dependents of the gods must fulfill the wishes of the gods.
Orobus will definitely ask his dependents to take care of and help Watatsumi Island, the identity of the dependents is not free, this natural strength, even people like Azumi who do not communicate with the outside world, also understand the preciousness of this identity.
She had never enjoyed the care of the people of the Yuanxia Palace, but she had the favor and strength of Orobus.
"Because the outside world has changed?" Tsumi sighed lowly, "Because of that······ Narugami is right. ”
"If it had been earlier when Watatsumi Island and the shogunate had confronted each other, your strength would have been the key factor in the victory." Rama said, "Unfortunately, you weren't there at that time. ”
If there was an Aki at that time, Sangonomiya Kokomi would have been able to have a little more confidence to refuse.
But no.
Now that Ray Movie is here, he's crazy about the news related to Raiden True.
At this time, anyone who goes up will have to be slapped twice, and then wait for his test to end.
"The value of a person to a force can be simply described as what he can bring."
"It's a very crude classification, but it's okay to use it for a while."
Rama looked at Tsumi, "In terms of force, Narujin's formal intervention means that force has lost its value, and the second defeat has left Watatsumi Island with no choice but to bow his head and be a man." ”
"Your presence will only make the shogunate suspicious and make things difficult, and you can't resist."
At this time, the force value is excellent, as if after being won, the enemy looks at your country and a strong general emerges.
Whatever the reason, Rama believed that the general had to die.
Even speaking, including threatening the Sangonomiya lineage, Tsumi's life will interfere with their friendship, so she has to die.
It's not uncommon for you to want to do something, and it's not worth their vigilance if you want to do something, but if you can do something, it will be a reason why you have to die.
"And let you run and build······· I'm not underestimating you, but I don't think you can. ”
If Tsumi has a social structure that has managed dragon lizards, this is also an ability.
But just because she had the will to think for herself before the people of the White Night Kingdom left, in the end, she still had to rely on the support of the Order to save the dragon lizard······ For thousands of years, a targeted rescue plan has been carried out in an environment where the enemy is in the open and the dark.
And she'll have to rely on external forces—the Order's abyssal technology, and a little bit of good luck—to be able to solve all the voids in order to accomplish this plan.
Without the Order's technology, she wouldn't have been able to bypass the Great Sun Imperial Palace.
There was no time, and the Order's technology was the first to reverse the dragon lizard.
Even the moment Tsumi appeared, Sangonomiya Kokomi had a guess, and she acquiesced and even deliberately indulged Tsumi's plan, otherwise she would not have handed over the proof of identity to Sora.
If she had told Sora at the time, Tsumi's dragon lizard rescue plan would have been able to wait for the next millennium.
This level is really limited.
"Do you have a good relationship with her?" Atsumi tilted his head, "I've seen it in the book, you're hitting my self-confidence and making me feel like I'm not important and worthless. ”
"That way, you can make that friend of yours use me better."
"As long as she says a few kind words, I will be easily touched by her."
The one in the White Night Country seems to be no different from the one in Yaedo······· Is this an aesthetic that is bound to emerge?
Rama couldn't hold it back for a moment.
He laughed, and Tsumi waited patiently.
"It's not for nothing that you say that." Rama restrained her laughter, "In this way, she should be here soon, you can come and talk to her." ”
The way she understood the world, of course, could not be the words of the dragon lizard, it could only be some ancient books snatched from the White Night Country.
But the White Night Kingdom has also been out of touch with Teyvat for a long time.
Even the words used by the two sides have constituted a generational gap.
Tsumi uses the ancient script of the White Night Kingdom, while Watatsumi Island uses the script that appeared in the late Throne period, and is also the script common to the continent of Teyvat today.
In fact, although they are the Seven Earthly Kingdoms, the Seven Kingdoms of Teyvat are unified in both writing and language.
This is almost possible to describe civilizations as a whole.
And Yuanxia Palace belongs to another ancient civilization, that is the human civilization during the period of the First Throne Phanes, which should be the most glorious and prominent period of mankind, but unfortunately the end of the Battle of the Throne, Sky Island has a new view of human civilization.
Like Ray films, they have a new concept that can be implemented immediately.
The Seven Earthly Kingdoms are based on the special civilization of this period.
It is not difficult to get Tsumi to adapt to the new civilization.
Enshita Shrine is a product of the old civilization, but Tsumi is just a new generation person who has accepted the knowledge of the old civilization.
The identity of the envoy of Watatsumi will not be related to any taboos, and it is a little special, and it will not be targeted by Sky Island.
As long as Ah Mi wants, she can start a new life in the earthly world.
The power to make decisions is entirely in the hands of Azumi, but her decision is difficult to say.
For normal people, the outside world is naturally to overcome the dark Yuanxia Palace, but this is the world where Azumi grew up, and he is used to being able to defeat most things.
