305 - Consent and Refusal

Is this deception?

The god of grass sighed, then quietly left.

He believed Rama so much that he never doubted Rama's words.

Rama told him that the form seemed to be a crisis but in reality nothing would happen, after all, it was hard to imagine that Morax or Barbatos would choose to go to war because of the belief of another god in their land.

Nahida received Rama's memory, and he asked himself if these gods could not choose war, and he trusted Rama's judgment and gladly supported it.

But Rama is not sure of this answer, he said that it must be a peaceful solution, but in fact he has always steadily promoted the development of force and is always ready for war.

What He said and what He was doing were two different things, and that was a deception of Nahida.

Rama didn't have much to explain.

If it were to be explained, He could have given Nahida many reasons to pioneer for herself.

Anyway, the god will listen to what he says, regardless of the credibility of his words, as long as he says it, Nahida will try to understand and support it.

Rama was not guarding against the seven earthly gods, but, like Kanriya, worried about the power from heaven.

It's a reason, but no reason will make it a matter of doing something.

It's as if Ray's good for you can't make up for the trouble that his choice has caused to Inazuma, of course he chose this path for the sake of the people of Inazuma, and the results of the choice are well known, and it is obviously not a good thing.

After Nahida left, Rama was silent for a moment, then turned and followed him out of the Pure Shan Palace.

He had something to do, and if it weren't for Nahida's concern, he wouldn't have left his lab because of it.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Back in the lab, Rama smiled at his friend's welcome.

"There, the gods urgently convened you to discuss things, and of course our affairs can be put on hold." Tartaglia's smile was hearty, "I was sent on a mission to Fontaine, but I heard about you on the way. ”

When Rama left, he thought about how to make the question more tactful, but later he still felt that since this kind of news could be circulated, Rama probably didn't need any euphemism, otherwise he could completely block the news and not make everyone know about it.

"I want to ask you, what is the price of gaining this power." He went straight to the point.

Rama's smile became more sincere, "You and I have a friend, I won't talk to you about some so-called painful, expensive prices and other things, you won't care about it anyway." ”

Of course, human experiments will not have the power of the demon god when he sleeps, this is Rama's treatment, and it is directly proportional to the preferential treatment, but he was almost left in a dream, and he couldn't get up again.

Of course, Tartaglia probably doesn't take this pain seriously.

Even if Rama told him how painful this transformation experiment was, it would be difficult for him to take it to heart without experiencing it himself.

The value of a technology that can be used externally is often proportional to the price it needs, but this is no problem for Tartaglia either.

Not only the identity of the executive, but behind him, should represent the attention of the entire Fatui.

"It's a price to pay in the distant future, and right now, I'm just asking for the basics." Rama said lightly, "How, do you want to think about it?" ”

"In my life experience, people who don't intend to ask for money at the beginning are often the ones who end up taking the most things." Tartaglia rubbed his eyebrows, "Especially with your reputation, this kind of rhetoric is even more dangerous. ”

A good guy who doesn't ask for anything in return?

Of course, there are such people, such as Sora who has worked with him, Tartaglia has an excellent impression of Sora, especially after he has worked with Rama, his impression of Sora is even better.

Everything is afraid of comparison, and so are people.

If Rama is also a good man who does not ask for anything in return, Tartaglia will laugh when he hears it.

Everyone's personal friendship is very private, but it is not to become a fool because of these friendships.

Rama is definitely not a good person.

"People do things with their own goals and wants, and I have never been an exception." Rama was noncommittal, "Even I'm the best of them all." ”

Nothing good is almost never seen Rama do.

He will only do things that are not helpful to him very often, which is based on the favorability of some people based on memory, so that he is willing to waste some time doing good things that are harmless to himself and helpful to others.

But most of the time, Rama used to it.

"So what do you want?" Tartaglia inquired again.

"You know, if I don't say it, I prove that I can't say it to anyone." Rama shook his head, "This is a piece of news that needs to be kept secret for the time being. ”

"In other words, what you can get from it must be several times what you can give, and this kind of retribution is still taken from me?"

It's not like a secrecy attitude.

To say that to refuse in some places is to admit that there are problems in these places.

It's really not like Rama's level.

Tartaglia frowned and thought, "You can give an outsider special powers, and you can take something more precious from him than the power you bestowed. ”

It must be to lose more, otherwise Rama can say it directly.

He is accustomed to this, and if He can give you more than what he loses, He will not remain silent.

It doesn't matter what He can get, but He will definitely let you get more, that's Rama's habit.

It is also because of this that there are very few people who are able to reject Rama.

He will really stand in your position and consider your interests, and will definitely benefit you because of cooperation, He will definitely get something, but it has nothing to do with you when others get it, you know that you have gained a lot.

If He doesn't say it, he's taking more than He will give.

"In your capacity, you certainly don't want to take wealth and power from me, but something more precious than what you gave me······· Will you take my life, or will you take my power? ”

It's not that hard to guess.

Depending on the gap between the two sides, you may not know where He will put his pen down, but you certainly know that He doesn't care about anything.

Knowing what you have, what He doesn't care about and He paying attention to you, it's not hard to guess what He wants from you.

"Your guess is a bit wrong, if I were a merchant, I would never look down on a Mora on you just because I am richer than you." Rama's expression was relaxed, "It's good to have a lot of money, but what's the harm in having more?" ”

"But you're not a businessman." Tartaglia is convinced, "You have the desire to pursue power, and you have the gift to pursue power. ”

"Demon gods don't care about wealth and power."

Before he came, he also had the idea of challenging Rama.

It's as if Tartaglia had considered challenging Morax when she was assigned to Liyue.

Martial arts are so pure at some point, I'm sure I can't beat you, but I must fight a dozen, otherwise I won't come for nothing?

However, Teyvat's force value is still a bit difficult to weigh in terms of reasonableness.

At least in Liyue's plot, the dual-elemental void should be on par with the fully open Tartaglia, after all, in the subsequent personal mission, Tartaglia also said that he was injured by opening the Demon King's Armament.

By the time it was time to Fontaine, the level of Dada ducks had skyrocketed.

From the time he was imprisoned in an underwater prison and then summoned by the whale into the sea, at this time, Brother Kong was already approaching the truth before he was messing around in Fontaine, and then Villatte teamed up with Brother Kong and his party to coerce Funina to tell the truth, and Tartaglia showed up again, which should have been a month in between.

During this time, he was fighting this big whale.

Even if it's not a real fight this month, Tartaglia's level is really skyrocketing.

After all, the coercion of this big whale is actually not bad at all, and the people involved are even more fierce, and they directly poured the demon god into the soil again.

Since the appearance of the Dragon King, the gold content of the Demon God has plummeted.

In Fontaine, the gold content of the demon god is no longer enough, as if he can beat the demon god at any time.

Compared with the past, Tartaglia's level at this time can at least press Rosalyn, who has always looked down on him, into the land.

Rama didn't quite know what Tartaglia was hanging, but he was sure that Tartaglia was normal at the moment.

So it's also easy to pack up.

After being hammered, Tartaglia changed her mind.

His definition of becoming strong is far more than stubbornness, so that he must become stronger by himself to be truly strong, otherwise he will not carry the demon king's arms around everywhere.

Since Rama can make people stronger, Tartaglia is of course very interested.

Coupled with the fact that he himself had come with a mission from the Fatui, he gladly sat down and waited for Rama to make an offer.

"This kind of news, you don't plan to keep me here, do you?" Tartaglia looked around.

At this time, he suddenly realized that Rama's research institute was such a good place, and it would take even the Fatui a few days to detect that something was wrong when killing people.

As for finding the door because of this········ Rama's status in Sumeru, there is a high probability that there is no way to ask for any explanation.

Either you knock on Sumeru's defenses with war, or you can only remain silent.

"What do you think?" Rama sighed, "Listen to me, it's not a tricky problem, you know it, you know, there's no need to make it seem like I'm going to kill someone." ”

As for the seed-snatching, he just wanted to try to get all the seven elements.

But the core plan, to use faith to complete the establishment of a divine system, does not require the seizure of everyone's power.

On the contrary, Rama intended to empower everyone, and when they became stronger, the faith offered was more abundant.

His original intention was to gain a portion of the elemental power of all, but now he had upped the weight of his faith and put the pursuit of elemental power on the back burner.

Tartaglia's worries are essentially too confident in himself.

He was sure that he was different from ordinary people, so if Rama coveted his strength and his talent, it was a very possible thing for Tartaglia to do.

After all, his talent is to be able to give him that confidence.

If he were an ordinary person, like Rama who had just arrived in Teyvat, he would not be able to doubt the benefits of the higher realms—such as the path of power He intended to open up for everyone, such as the system He had acquired himself.

Am I worth His time to calculate?

Rama thought so at the time, so he didn't doubt that there would be anything wrong with the system.

Many ordinary people in the future will think the same way.

They are numerous and not very talented, and most of them don't think that the gods have the leisure to plot something about themselves - the gap is so big that you can't suspect that the gods have any malicious intentions, which is ridiculous.

Gods······· Want something from me?

What? Is it my fragile life? Or Mora on me?

Is this necessary?

"You're not a good experiment, and you're good material." Rama sighed, "Your talent makes a lot of research seem irrelevant. ”

But this is a hurdle that ordinary people have to go through.

If Tartaglia succeeds without having to take these precautions, and then extrapolates this data to the generalization experiments of ordinary people, it will really be a disaster.

He doesn't need it, is it true that ordinary people are also at his level?

Tartaglia's data in an experiment can definitely be placed in a special case, and will hardly be used as a reference for data, because it is too ridiculous compared to a normal experiment.

But on the other hand, if you want to seek a closer path, he is excellent material.

He is the one who can represent the limits of a certain aspect, a talent that Tartaglia can be proud of.

Among the mortals of Teyvat, there are only a few who are so talented that they are obviously not the same as the others.

Vanessa from a thousand years ago was certainly one of them, Shenhe, Diluc and Tartaglia, who should also be at the top of the list.

Tartaglia fell silent.

The disadvantage is almost obvious, with the help of the power obtained from Rama's experiments, in the end, most of them will return all the money to Rama with interest.

This disadvantage alone is enough to make people reject it outright.

But Tartaglia is a genius, and the common problem of genius is that he can't do it, so why can't I?

Can't I take the icing and return the shells?

Taking a step back, I can't be perfectly prepared, can't the Fatui behind me?

All the hesitation is nothing more than the conflict between the expected benefits that can be obtained and the risks that may be lost, refusal is fear of risks, and consent is greed for benefits.
