281 - what you want
Rama knew that Apep didn't believe in himself.
It took five hundred years for Foccarus to gather strength, and finally made his first and only attempt before the catastrophe struck.
He went out so hard to break a certain rule, which corresponds to how hard that rule is.
It took five hundred years for a god to succeed in his attempt, and Apep didn't believe that Rama could do it, which was all too normal.
Rama himself felt that he could not do it.
But it doesn't matter, he can't be a pioneer of everything, but once someone opens the way, it's much easier for those who come after it to get there.
Fucarus will destroy the system of the seven gods, and lose the throne of the god of water, and it will be difficult for the broken god system to maintain the same hardness as before, and it will naturally be much easier to try it at that time.
[Taking a step back, if I guessed wrong, I wouldn't have been able to do what I promised Apepe······· I can't be sure that I will be dead at that time, how much can the dead pay for cheating? 】
Rama exhaled a breath and his eyes brightened.
"You know the secret, and you know how difficult it is, but you tell me you can do it·······" Apep pondered.
His sanity rose dramatically with the importance of the event, even overpowering the pain that had accumulated over a long period of time.
After all, this was a critical time, and He needed to think about the best option for Him.
"You're lying to me."
After thinking about it, Apepe chose to accept reality.
What made Apep hesitate was not that Rama knew a secret, but that he himself wanted to believe that Rama could do it.
Emotionally, more than anyone else, he hoped that Rama would be able to do it, and the authority that belonged to the ancient dragon could not help him to defeat that enemy, because in his heyday, he was also pressed to the ground and rubbed.
Forbidden knowledge is a kind of hope, and Apep is not sure if forbidden knowledge will help him to victory, but he is certain that of all the chips he can find so far, forbidden knowledge is the only one that can help him win.
And the power of the ancient dragon is reality, and reality proves the answer, whether his power is complete or not, he cannot win against that one.
Therefore, Apep pursued hope and chose to cooperate with the Red King to seek survival in a desperate situation.
But let it be up to Him, and His first choice must be to complete Himself and become a complete dragon, not a broken old dragon.
This power will not bring back new results, but it will make Him happy and satisfied.
He wanted to believe, so He hesitated.
But Apep is not a pawn after all, and he can still distinguish between reality and dreams.
It is impossible for Rama to liberate the throne of the god of grass, not even the god of grass himself today, he cannot do such a thing.
"I'm too weak, and it takes a lot of strength to do this." Rama himself gave the answer, "So you can't trust me. ”
"You may have a lot of plans, but you're too young to know that strength in this world is everything."
Gu Long's voice was tired.
Suddenly, He lost the idea of scheming with Nahida and Rama.
It doesn't make sense, the real enemy is still in the sky, and just worrying about two children is too much.
The plan needs hard power as support, Rama is too weak, he can think about many possibilities, but there is no possibility that a weak person like Rama can come to the end.
"Let me execute the throne of the gods, I really can't do this." Naturally, Rama could only admit, "But there is a god in this world who wants to do this more than you and me." ”
At the end of the day, Phoccarus takes Navelletra into a relatively separate space, and then stages his own death and farewell in front of him.
It's a bit of a secret, but then Villette gets back her power and saves Fontaine, and this kind of thing can't be hidden······· It seemed that there was no need for him to hide his plan, after all, even a blind man could feel the upheaval of Fontaine.
This only proves that Fucarus believes that it is only the process that needs to be concealed, and that the ending is already indifferent.
With the power of the god of water, He made such a judgment, and Rama naturally chose to believe.
He didn't know how to cooperate with Fcalus, but it was a simple part - to keep silent, not to reveal anything until the ending, to let the story happen and until the ending came out, that kind of thing could still be done.
"You can't produce any evidence." Apep said in a deep voice.
The little guy was obviously weak and pitiful, but he seemed to know a lot of things that he shouldn't know at all.
"I can't come up with any proof, and I don't think anyone needs to know about it until He succeeds." Rama replied earnestly, "If no one knows, no one will stop it." ”
"Once a second person knows any secret, it's no longer a secret."
You don't think of yourself as a second person?
Apepe sensed something peculiar.
When it comes to the secrets of the World Tree, of course, Apep also knows something, and Teyvat's life is almost entirely dependent on the world supported by this ancient tree.
The beings who depend on the world to survive, everything about them is also in the records of the world, but Teyvat has a more specific world tree.
Rama's words don't elicit too many unusual reactions, but Apep has been exposed to forces outside the world and is quite sensitive to the key words of Fetivat.
Of course, this can also be a lie, but the process is the same, it is not Rama who convinces Apepe, but Apepe himself.
He desperately wants to see some kind of opportunity, no matter how small it may be, and He will find a reason to convince Himself.
Before Rama failed.
For no matter how subjectively Apep needed a hope, he himself could not trust a human being as weak as Rama, and even if Nahida said such a thing, he would have more hesitation and silence.
But it can't be Rama, because he's a human being.
There is no problem with the human race, the problem is that the humans of Teyvat are too weak, too weak to be trusted.
But Rama came up with a closer piece of evidence, albeit a few specious words, but Apep wanted to convince himself that he could help Rama fill in the gaps.
He gave Rama the identity of gaining power beyond the world, which first guaranteed to avoid the rules of the World Tree and prevent all the secrets from being recorded by the world.
And with this identity, many things about Rama have the argument of strength as a basis - he can't value a mortal, but the Red King has already made him suffer a big loss, so much so that when he and Nahida reflect on this story later, he also admits that Ahmar is far more crazy than him.
Usually speaking, this is saying that the other party is a crazy person, but it is based on the background that he has been overturned by forbidden knowledge, and the other party can use forbidden knowledge to do things, which can only be said to be another way of saying that his skills are inferior.
"Forbidden knowledge, ancient dragon power······· Since you know the power of the ancient dragon, and intend to use it to make a deal with me, then you should also know the relationship between the Throne of the Grass God and Buyer. ”
"Well, you should know the cost of doing this."
Foccarus folded himself in, and then barely completed his plan.
Although he had divided a part of the human consciousness five hundred years ago, the reason why the first water god ventured was because his family, the pure water spirits, longed to live like humans.
Is this a development guided by a special environment in Teyvat?
Rama didn't quite know what they envied about humanity in their transcendent life, so much so that they had to become completely human, which led to the catastrophe of Fontaine.
If you just like humans, you can transform into a human body without having to become a human yourself.
But in short, the family members of the original water goddess Egria were so eager that Egria failed to refuse, and was warned by Heavenly Reason after taking the risk.
Phukaros is a family member of Egria, the second generation of water gods, and the leader of the pure water elves who want to become humans that Rama cannot understand.
Before the plan began, he chose to divide himself, leaving the theocratic side to accumulate energy in the cardinals, and the human side to Fontaine, becoming the god of water in the eyes of the Fontaine.
Objectively speaking, the beginning of the Fontaine story is quite abnormal.
It would be nice to say that one or two water elves had this idea, but it extended to the level of all dependents, as if all the Lannaro were suddenly around the Great Tree King, sincerely pleading with the Tree King that we wanted to become humans.
But in the end, Fucarus lost the side that symbolized the gods, leaving only Funinga alone as the last remnant.
If Rama was going to unlock the power of the Grass God's throne, He would do the same.
"I know He won't have to make any terrible sacrifices for this." Rama pursed her lips, "If everything is as I expected." ”
Moreover, there is an anachronistic word that should be swallowed, and Nahida never refuses to sacrifice herself.
The Six Sages imprisoned Him in the Palace of Pure Benevolence for 500 years, and although He was imprisoned, he was never actually injured.
However, after releasing Him, He was faced with the choice of sacrificing himself one after another, and more importantly, many situations obviously did not come to this point, but Nahida insisted on operating herself.
There was no need to talk to Apep about this, and he didn't care much about Nahida anyway.
"You can give it to me, I know it completely." Apep really didn't pursue it, "So, what can I give you?" ”
According to Apep's own words, the Red King traded forbidden knowledge for his dominion over the Sand Sea.
This sentence is quite unreasonable, maybe in the ancient times, this is indeed the territory of Apep, but in the period after the end of the Demon God War a thousand years ago, Apep may not dare to set foot on the land above and claim that this is his own territory.
Skills are not as good as people, the seven dragon kings have been expelled, and it is impossible for Apep to defend his territory.
The Red King should also know this, and the deal he offered forbidden knowledge in exchange for Apep's silence about his rule was worthless.
Even if he didn't change, Apep wouldn't be able to stop his domination of the Sand Sea.
The only explanation can only be because the Red King was already aware of the problem of forbidden knowledge at that time, but he didn't plan to retreat and couldn't retreat, so he chose to make a deal with Apep, and agreed to give the forbidden knowledge to Apep after his death.
The original intention of this matter was not to get anything from Apepe, on the contrary, it was pure giving, and it was only because he was afraid that Apep would reject this "unwarranted kindness" that he chose to trade Apepe's approval of his rule.
In fact, these are unimportant things, and all that matters is that Apep accepts the gift.
The safe is willing to open and store dangerous goods in it, which is the only thing Ahmar wants.
Rama's expression flickered, with a bit of eccentricity.
For so many years, there was no reason why He couldn't react······· In other words, Apepe's rhetoric is actually forcibly saving himself?
Or did he really have some unspeakable deal with the Red King, and that Nahida was only the most superficial of things?
It's all in the past, Ahmar is dead, and if Apep doesn't say anything, no one can give an answer.
Rama doesn't like to study the past, and unfortunately Teyvat's story itself is about discovering the secrets of the past.
What can I expect from APEP?
Rama pondered carefully.
Strictly speaking, he didn't know what he had to get from Apep in the first place.
It's just that the opportunity just created a space for solitude, and he saw that Apep had this power, and subconsciously the occupational disease came, and immediately went up to get an opportunity to exchange benefits······· Anyway, the benefits that Rama took out were rarely important to him, so this occupational disease has not caused him much trouble so far.
He sees someone who is useful, and he wants to reach out to the other person in order to gain support from the other person at certain moments.
But if these people will be used immediately, Rama is really not sure.
It's the same situation right now.
Apepe, he is the dragon of grass, powerful and knows many secrets········ So what is His specific use?
Rama fell into thought.
And in the hollow underground, Nahida was already standing by Apep's side.
"He seems intent on sacrificing you." The words of the grass dragon are not lacking in ridicule.
"It's none of your business, Apep." Nahida's expression remained unchanged, "Do what you have to do well, and I will give you what you want." ”
The young god shook his hands and feet slightly, as if he wasn't used to the shell.
