254 - Hunting
Of course, the story itself is systematic, so after bringing in the idea that Raiden is not completely dead, Orobus naturally has to have some problems.
He may not have a problem, but why not give it a try?
Chop two knives on his head, and don't hide it, even if you're okay, Rama obviously doesn't care about offending a dead demon god.
And if Orobus reacts······ That's even better, he's worried about the chaotic situation in Inazuma, isn't someone sending a clue?
There is no need to be afraid of the dead God, who is confirmed dead but alive, then this is what Rama is trying to find.
"Why not give it a try? What a good idea. Orobus was obviously not flustered, "A long time ago, the person who chose to contact me in the Yuanxia Palace probably had this idea in mind. ”
Orobus is naturally a soft-hearted, kind-hearted and powerful demon god to the people of Yuanxia Palace, but in the initial contact, there are actually people who are the first to contact him.
The identity of that person is actually quite easy to guess.
Orobus descended as a god and naturally destroyed the system of power in the White Night Country, which was centered on the Son of the Sun.
The more powerful and powerful the minister, the more he will be repelled by this kind of behavior.
Therefore, those who chose to contact Orobus could only be the rebels of that era.
After all, from the back view, the three major powers left behind by Orobus are the Jigokan, the Coral Palace Ichimai who serves the gods, and the envoy of the gods themselves, the Kazumi Imperial Envoy.
He obviously didn't leave any way for the original nobles of the White Night Country to live, although he didn't kill them with his own hands, but just like Barbatos supported Vanessa to overturn Lawrence's car, if it was a normal development, the aristocratic faction led by Lawrence would naturally not be able to live.
The exception to Mondstadt's path is Vanessa, who forgives the noble faction and gives them a chance to live.
But Watatsumi Island······ They shouldn't have such a good way of dealing with it.
"It's been a long time since the people of the White Night Kingdom left the mainland." Rama explained, "If I had seen you in that environment, my first reaction would have been that things couldn't have gotten any worse, so why not give it a try?" ”
What is the direction of the development of the Demon God Lover is still to be discussed, but it is obviously impossible for the people of the White Night Kingdom to know.
The Sun and Moon Chronicle records that they were swept under the sea during the Throne Melee, after which Sky Island refused their return, and there is obviously no record of the Demon God walking the earth during this period.
In other words, unless the White Night Country is a place where the people are outstanding and the demon gods who fled are all from here, there is no reason for them to know the true identity of Orobas.
If you don't know the special group of demon gods, you won't know that most of them have good intentions towards humans.
Considering the size of this one, he has been fighting dragon lizards in the deep sea for so many years, and then he saw such a huge snake······ Ah, to put it a little more dramatically, Rama even suspected that the other side might have surrendered.
But it's not surprising either.
In normal human history, it is easy for human beings to make concessions to solve problems in the form of deifying each other for special beings that they do not understand or are full of danger.
In this way, if someone dies, it is not called being attacked, but that he is not devout to the gods and is punished by the gods.
Most of the time, faith is meant to solve these kinds of problems.
In a way, the systematization of Eastern mythology is due to the fact that the emperor occupies most of the beliefs, and then it is given to the gods.
The divine authority of the monarch is still very useful, the West separates faith from monarchy, while the East is the monarchy holding the faith, and it is directly the Son of Heaven.
Orobus understood Rama's words quite well, and his voice smiled: "Your idea is not unreasonable, in the early days of the demon gods on earth, they probably chose to worship the gods with this idea, right?" ”
This kind of thing should have happened to Orobus once.
He used to be the one who fought in the Demon God War, until he met another Demon God, and then he was beaten and lost his armor, and had to give up everything to escape.
In the early days of his participation in the war, those humans who were attached to him were in the same situation as the people of the Yuanxia Palace who took the initiative to kneel back then.
It's not because of their piety, they might not even want to see a demon god like Orobus.
Belief is always supported by fear, and then loyalty.
What supports peace is always a slap, and then it is sweet dates.
Kneeling and faith are born out of instinctive fear, not respect and longing. That was what had come after the serpent had taken them back from below the abyss, and before that, fear was the core of faith.
Being alive is the first need of life, and when they see Orobus, they know it's time for them to cash in on their knees.
Kneeling may not necessarily be able to exchange for your own life, but if you don't kneel, it is probably the end.
The people of Yuanxia Palace are not very hard-headed, and their knees are not so hard.
Rama waited patiently.
He didn't really want to talk about human nature with this big snake, the other party supported two human kingdoms, although they failed twice, but for the understanding of human beings, Rama knew that even if he patted a horse, he could not compare to Orobus.
Rama's concern, of course, was that he was in real contact with the thunder and lightning.
Ray Movies guessed wrong.
After being reminded by Rama, he thought that what Dream had sealed in his heart was the true will of his sister Raiden, so he was careful and did not dare to make any moves.
Actually, no.
What dreams seal with one heart is a key.
To put it simply, the remains of Orobus are considered to be a treasure, and if you find the treasure, you naturally need to find the key and the keyhole, which is the usual way to deal with it.
The difference is that the place where the treasure is buried is not in a place that can be observed, but the same operation as the Red King, directly attached to the leyline.
The sacred cherry tree is able to make the keyhole appear, and the dream is that Ichishin can open the treasure chest.
And the treasure is the remnant of Orobus.
Rama was silent.
Yes?
I've worked so hard for you to give me a chance to meet this snake?
What about Raiden really? What about the big sister who can appease the dynamite keg outside? Will I use the remnants of Orobus to comfort him?
I'm going to die, I'm going to die with Orobus.
"How could you not have guessed," Orobus laughed softly, "that you've come this far, and you've seen me, how can you not know where the thunderbolt really is?" ”
"I'd rather not guess." Rama sighed, "It's a bit presumptuous, but I still have to say that I kind of regret that I didn't ······· a little bit as I did to you."
Whip the corpse.
You see, after whipping the corpse, Orobus didn't resist it, and stood up directly.
If he had made up two slashes at the root system of the sacred cherry tree at that time, Raiden would probably not have been able to sit still.
Your uncle's has been shabu again.
Orobus's laughter was even louder.
"But I don't understand what you're doing this for." Rama's face was filled with rare reluctance.
The point is, this is not right.
Raiden was really saved by the eternal god when Kanria was destroyed, and it had been hundreds of years since Orobus had been dead at this time, right?
Even if He is alive, how can you still live?
Do you live to laugh twice? You have something to say!
"Of course, there is a purpose······ How much do you know about the affairs of the Enxia Palace? Orobus asked.
Of course He had to have a purpose.
From becoming a crippled soul and squatting here for so long, how can I do this kind of thing without any purpose.
"Not much," Rama thought for a moment, "I know but I haven't turned over the book." ”
There are still a lot of secrets in the Yuanxia Palace, but at present, what is really important is actually only the record of the sun and the moon.
There is no way for players to assume that the sun and moon are false, because this is the only information they have in their hands, and if even the sun and moon are fake, there is nothing to verify.
However, after the performances of Orobus and Raiden Shin, Rama suddenly couldn't be sure.
"Haven't flipped it?" Orobus was a little surprised, "That's weird······"
Rama's will is very stable, and there is really no sign of lying.
But ······· It shouldn't be.
Rama was calm.
I haven't flipped it, I haven't flipped it, although I've seen it, but I definitely haven't flipped it.
"If that's the case, the answer can't tell you." Orobus shook his head, "There is a price to be paid for knowing the truth, and you didn't pay that price. ”
Rama: ???
He thought for a moment, then nodded dryly: "You're right, so since it has nothing to do with me, can I leave?" ”
"You can leave at any time." Orobus doesn't stand in the way.
They are testing each other, Rama definitely doesn't want to really go, Orobus has waited so long, it's not for a sentence I'm not interested, you let me go.
But the need to test the fact that this in itself means a lot of things.
He did keep a secret and was very eager to find someone who could accept it.
It's not surprising that all old grandfathers are like this, keeping a vital thing, waiting for a destined superman to solve all the problems.
But Rama wasn't all temptation, he really wanted to walk away.
But the sacred cherry tree was cut by him, and if the thunderbolt was really conscious in the sacred cherry tree, Rama would have been able to guess the mind of the one outside the door.
You have to get something to get it back to you for business.
The point seems that Orobus also knew Rama's predicament, so he was also very happy.
If you want to go, then you can go.
Ah, are you really not going to keep me? I'm really leaving.
In short, Rama was a little embarrassed, but fortunately, his plans in Inazuma often went bankrupt, and it was a habit to go bankrupt, so he was naturally fearless, and soon returned to his normal state of mind.
"Well, I've read the book," he could only admit, "so what do you want to tell me?" ”
There is no way for Rama to not give in.
When he cut down the tree before, Lei Ying promised to be very good, and he did doubt the appearance of the god Sakura, after all, all the Inazuma people thought that the god Sakura had always been here, and he himself was a warrior who would never doubt himself.
It was from here that His doubts about the sacred cherry tree were born.
Everybody says that, but I know it's not, so the answer must not be that.
This is also the reason why He acquiesced in Rama's cutting down of trees.
The sacred cherry tree is indeed very important to Inazuma, but the owner of the country of Inazuma knows nothing about it.
Something like this is naturally useful when it can be used, but as long as there is an opportunity to find a replacement for it, or simply probe its problems, it will be discarded without hesitation.
A tool cannot be mysterious to its owner, and the sacred cherry tree has gone beyond the realm of mystery.
Although Lei Movie was suspicious in the past, he didn't know where to start, and in addition, the Divine Sakura Tree was really easy to use, so naturally he could only rely on the secret of the Divine Sakura.
Now that he has the opportunity, he naturally wants to open the old bottom of the divine cherry tree as soon as possible.
Then He repented.
If he had known that the divine cherry tree was lodged with thunder and lightning, Rama would have slashed the tree with a knife, he would have been committing a crime if he had this thought.
Rama didn't expect Ray to be magnanimous - it didn't seem right, after all, he agreed to what happened at the time - to forgive him for his mistakes, and even, he was only worried that Lei Movie would be cut off with a knife because he felt sorry for his sister.
The latter should be more relaxed and natural than options such as forgiveness.
So he's got to get something from Orobus.
"Oh, didn't you say you didn't flip it over." The serpent's words were leisurely.
It doesn't seem like he's short on time, so he has a lot of time to waste.
"Not having read it and not seeing it are two different things, and not seeing it and not knowing it are two different things." Rama said, "I'm not lying anyway. ”
If I haven't turned it, I haven't turned it, and if I know it, I know it, but is there any conflict between my not turning the book and knowing the content of the book?
No, not at all.
"That's right." Orobus said slowly, "Since you admit it, then of course I will fulfill my promise." ”
He looked up, and his face finally took on the calm that a god should have.
"He asked me to teach you a lesson."
This is not very difficult to understand, after all, it has appeared many times.
But Rama couldn't understand the words.
Raiden Ma, please teach me a lesson?
You know how many years it was before I crossed over when you were at war? At that time, he asked you to teach me a lesson, so he chose to leave your life behind?
Rama froze, but Orobus didn't.
His time was obviously not as extravagant as expected, and after a word, the light in his eyes was extinguished, but the serpent's head was still high.
This doesn't mean the end of things, on the contrary, it's just the beginning.
The serpent's will, which had lost control, did not simply dissipate, "he" looked at Rama, lowered his head, and his godless eyes made Rama sweat cold.
He was hunting.
The dead demon god is hunting the living Rama.
