268 - Dolls are tools

The truth is completely contrary to the perception of the balladeers.

He thought he was betrayed, and this was the second betrayal of his career, the first being from the Creator's Seal and the Golden Feather, which had already been explained by the Successful - you were a failed puppet who could not bear the mission given by the God of Thunder, so you were discarded.

He had already guessed about this when he came to the door with the golden feather to ask for help, until today, hundreds of years later, when he got a more accurate answer.

You guessed correctly, you are a defective product that has been discarded.

And the second betrayal came from Niwa and them.

The fledgling balladeer met people who were willing to show him gentleness and kindness in Tatarashand, whether it was because of the golden feather or because of their own conduct, and he got off to a relatively good start there.

It wasn't until he returned from the shogunate that the familiar suddenly became a traitor, and then disappeared completely in Inazuma.

The dazed Balladeer still chooses to enter the heart of the Shadow to solve the problem, which is the second betrayal he has faced.

And the third betrayal, which is his relatively personal story, is not much to describe.

At least for the balladeer himself, the first renunciation was actually insignificant, he didn't know anything at that time, and he met some good people, and when he was abandoned, he was abandoned, and his life was still very good.

The third betrayal was the straw that broke the camel's back, and he put all his hope on the other party, but the child he met by chance still fell ill and died.

This time it can only be said that it is a matter of time, the Fatui have already struck once, and they will not let the balladeers break free from the fishing nets.

He had to sink into himself completely before the Fatui would give up and instead show their strong and gentle side to attract the balladeers.

A little more utilitarian consideration, in fact, that little child, from the moment he entered the field of vision of the skirmishers, he could only die.

The Fatui would not let a straw hang on to the executive officer they wanted, and with the difference between the number of stragglers and the strength of the Fatui at that time, he glanced at the little child, and this was the reason why the other party would die.

The balladeer looked at Rama.

Rama, who was kneeling, met the straggler's gaze, and his expression inevitably took on a bit of strangeness.

No, what do you think I'm doing?

This job has nothing to do with me, I wasn't even born at the time.

"You know about it, right?"

His face was grim.

Rama didn't answer, but just looked at the puppet general above.

"If you know something, just say it, and Inazuma will vouch for him." The puppet general said, "This is what he deserves." ”

With a person's due remuneration comes a responsibility that he should bear.

Inazuma will be responsible for this puppet abandoned by the god of thunder, he wants the truth, and Inazuma is willing to give something to replace the truth.

So, how do you calculate the responsibility?

"If it had been before, I could have given the answer for sure, but you know, General, I can't be sure of anything related to the past."

"Oh, if you're asking about the blueprints, you're not mistaken, it's the Fatui who provided it."

Rama's answer was uneventful, without any valid answers, as if he didn't want to get involved in the turmoil and therefore deduced that he didn't know.

The second half of the sentence is a little nonsensical, but only the Kamisato Ayato brothers and sisters seem to understand a little.

The puppet general thought for a moment, then bowed slightly, signaling that he accepted the reason.

You're welcome.

The puppet general has also seen it, Rama was calculated step by step before, and he was pressed everywhere.

In the end, the truth turned out to be that the dead Raiden really said that he had gotten the explanation of how to arrange these arrangements from Rama, who had gone back to the past.

Rama wasn't sure, and the puppet general also felt that Rama's caution was very reasonable.

"He didn't know." The general calmly replied, "I also believe that he has no way of knowing the answer for the time being." ”

"But it was a deal between the Fatui and Him."

"The culprit will set the record straight, and you will kill him yourself, while the Fatui will make some other reparations to repay them for their misdeeds in the Inazuma incident."

This should not be something that should be directly put on the table to declare, but the general has always had no scruples about this kind of thing.

Obviously, this culprit attracted the attention of the balladeers more than Rama.

He almost couldn't wait to ask, "So, where is the culprit!" ”

Dortore!

Even when he was angry, it did not prevent the balladeer from thinking normally.

Anger and arrogance are two different emotions, and in times of arrogance, He will declare war on Nahida, thirsting for a war between the demon gods. And anger makes His thoughts calmer and more efficient, and does not directly overwhelm His brain.

Slice!

"No wonder this man dares to make such a promise." It was easy for him to understand why Torre was willing to give his life for the Fatui's plans, "Slice for death, the one who died is not his real body, of course he doesn't need to worry!" ”

This is a special operation for Dr.

To describe it in slightly normal terms, he cloned himself in various periods, and the process of operation can only be said to be "this is magical alchemy", and the result of the operation is that he cloned each self from his youth to his old age.

A person's experiences and memories at different times can cause him to have different views on the same thing, and in this way, the Doctor retains all of his various perceptions of the world.

The significance of such an operation is unknown, the benefits are unknown, and the cost is high.

At least Rama felt that the only value was that he might have retained more of his own sparkle in the scientific process.

Rama still didn't think it was worth it, but Dotore was willing.

Torre was willing, he had the alchemy power, and with Dotorre's position in the Fatui research system, he could use a lot of resources to act on his own plans without explanation.

He is willing, and this operation can be carried out.

And what Torre has to do now is to give the Balladeer a complete truth and a chance to take revenge at Raiden's request—he has many slices, and one or two of his deaths can only be said to be insignificant.

The Balladeers immediately understood why the Fatui were willing to do this.

It's nothing more than a deal.

Money and the Doctor's life, the former is very important, but the Fatui plan to spend the upper limit for the sake of God's heart. Moreover, business is not all about paying.

Inazuma returned to the system of the Seven Kingdoms, and Sumeru could make a deal with them, and Solstice could do the same, just by looking at the hand, at least at the level that Pantarone had shown, he couldn't let this business lose too much.

And with the doctor's life, this is even less of a problem.

He has a lot of slices, and he can directly give up all the slices for the sake of a god heart of the god of grass, and now as long as he has a doppelganger's life, of course he won't care.

Dotore didn't give the slices too much permission, at least he must have retained the master-slave distinction, so that he was able to destroy all his slices in an instant under the threat of Nahida.

Compared with the loss of the plot, this can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket, and it is not a big problem.

The Balladeer could understand, so his expression was more powerless than angry.

The god of thunder has made up his mind, and it is clear that he has become the one to be abandoned.

Even if he was lucky enough to leave Inazuma, Rama gave an affirmative answer, and the blueprint of the god of justice was provided by the Fatui.

How many mechanisms did Dotore have planted inside this body, the balladeer didn't want to think about it at all, he only knew that if it really fought, it would be impossible for Dotore to throw an ordinary Fatui soldier to the ground.

As a puppet mechanism, it's too normal to be dealt with through the back door.

Isn't this genuine product in front of you just a doll in the hands of the God of Thunder?

There is something that you want to do, but it comes before you think about how to do it, that you already know that you can't do it, and that it will kill the fighting enthusiasm of any kind of person.

The Balladeer was no exception, and he was even more discouraged than ordinary people.

He doesn't believe in fairy tales or dreams, so when faced with the truth, He is quicker to admit defeat.

There are some things that need miracles and can only believe in miracles, and He doesn't believe in miracles at all, so naturally there is no need to struggle.

Rama watched the other party go from anger to calm thinking, and finally turned into an indifferent look, and he couldn't guess the other party's mind for a while.

The change was so fast that Rama couldn't keep up with the change.

He was able to keep up with the balladeers' logic, but as a party, the skirmishers were much faster than him.

Rama needs to think about what problems he would have to face if he were a skirmisher and what would be the right response for him. And the Balladeer only thinks about which of the two opponents he can beat······· Can't beat both? So what else to think about?

"If that's the case, then Inazuma will look to Solstice for an explanation." The puppet general meticulously carried out the rest of the performance, "After being sealed, the puppet country has gained absolute freedom. ”

His words paused for a moment, and then returned to his normal cold tone, "He can choose any of the seven kingdoms, or he can start any journey of his own, but he should not be deceived because of his identity and finally embark on this path." ”

"Huh? Being deceived because of an identity issue? Mr. Balladeer couldn't hold his breath, "Do you know what you're talking about?" ”

"You want to deny the experience." The puppet general stood up.

The balladeer subconsciously retorted, and then was speechless.

He was so clever that He understood most of the truths.

Although the identity of the puppet is a complete source of disaster for him, he can't say it, and I don't think the identity of the puppet of the god of thunder is comparable to that of an ordinary Inazuma person.

He couldn't say such nonsense.

"The identity of the puppet is indeed a source of disaster for you." The puppet general did not deny it, "The god of thunder created you and gave you a special identity, but he did not let you receive a proper education and understand your own particularity, which led to you being easily deceived by the other party." ”

This kind of pot can still be buckled by Ray Movie.

If you are not satisfied with the mutilated puppet, you can destroy it directly, which is your power as a swordsmith when forging knives.

But you gave Him the will to think, and your special identity allowed Him to walk in the world like a blank piece of paper, then He was deceived in the end, and he also had to bear part of the responsibility in the end.

The special identity has attracted malicious attention, which is a very simple logic.

Children are not sensible in the downtown area, and the adults who let them do it are not ignorant.

The Balladeer didn't know his own particularity in his early years, he came into contact with Niwa, and these people definitely wouldn't have told him at first, I see that you have a golden feather, so I took you to play with me.

Niwa, Imperial Opinion Nagamasa and the like, after all, are orthodox magnates in Inazuma, and they don't just see a wandering boy and post it to show favor and teach each other the truth.

After a while, the stragglers learned that they were carrying Jin Yu, and they might have something to do with the general.

He knew he was a puppet with golden feathers, but that was all there was to it. Until he came into contact with the Fatui, he had no idea how special his identity was in the eyes of those who cared him.

If He had known earlier, he would not have believed and listened to everyone's words, and the tragedy might still be inevitable, but at least he would not have started emo directly.

The balladeer preferred that he didn't understand, but the general saw that he had a problem, and of course chose to follow through to the end.

"In this matter, you will be targeted by the evil scoundrels of the Fatui, the only reason is not your speciality, but the bad character of the other party, and the shogunate will seek an explanation from Solstice for you in this matter." The puppet general answered seriously.

"And you think that the puppet's origin is very bad, this is not a wrong perception, after all, it is precisely because you are the creator of the god of thunder that you will be targeted by the Fatui, which will lead to a lot of trouble in the future."

"But you should know for yourself that you have received many benefits from this status, carrying the convenience of God's heart, hundreds of years without worrying, and you can resent the whole story, but He is not wrong."

In this kind of thing, the puppet general stands unconditionally by the side of Ray Movie.

Yae Miko, who was listening, wiped her eyes, and although she didn't know what kind of nerves this neuropathy was going on, she seemed to be very moved······ Appearance?

Very straightforward truth, the stragglers are speechless.

He can be crazy and unreasonable, but when he is used to unreasonable people, when faced with unsolvable problems, in fact, their first reaction is that you are reasonable.

When you can't beat it, the other party's willingness to reason is his concession, and it is also your advantage.

Kamisato Ayato is the same with the skirmishers, and the same is true with the shoguns.

The head of the Kamisato family was so tidy, and his expression was even a little relaxed.

From the words of the puppet general, it is not difficult to read an attitude.

The gods felt guilty about the puppets they had abandoned, especially the subsequent encounters with him, which made the god of thunder feel compassion.

I gave Him the particularity that He was valued by the villains, but I didn't teach Him how to know how special He knew and how to protect himself from being hurt by the Villains, so when He was hurt by the Villains, I thought that should be my problem.

But in the time that followed, He was evil because He was hurt by the wicked, and I can have mercy on Him, but I can't forgive Him for His actions. Those who are hurt by Him are as innocent as He is.

As I pity His suffering, I will also have mercy on more innocent people.

So in the end, I will give Him the truth, give Him a chance to kill his enemies, but He will also pay the price of death for those He has hurt.

The General and the Balladeer discuss the pros and cons of being a puppet, and in the end the Shogun wins.

This identity brings special value, which attracts the attention of the Fatui, which in turn leads to the tragedy of the start of the skirmishers.

The General acknowledges that the puppet identity has caused trouble for the Balladeers, but he denies the logic that the God of Thunder owes the Balladeers for this - the special nature of the puppet leads to your tragedy, but you are not without the convenience of this status.

The convenience brought by identity and the trouble you encounter are obviously equal, and the god of thunder naturally does not owe any debt.

The core of this logic is still instrumentalism, and he does not treat the puppet as a separate living entity, but still as a useful tool as the basis of the discussion.

It makes no sense to say that between a person and a straggler.

But the general could, after all, he was also a puppet, and he also recognized the identity of his tools and utensils, and he could admit it, and the stragglers could not refute it.

Kamisato Ayato's smile deepened.

In this way, this trouble is also eliminated.

It's just the rest, sister, can you solve it······
