Not everything needs to have a utilitarian purpose, and you may not actually think about it when you do it, but you just do it habitually.

But such things can generally find a utilitarian explanation.

For example, Corporal Lixian, of course, this can be said to be a person with such a noble character that he deserves to be admired and emulated by everyone, but at the same time it can also be understood as a means of playing fame, and buying horse bones is the most direct description.

I don't want this horse bone, and naturally I don't want you to be a waste of wood, but I need to use you to tell the world how much I respect talented people and how well I will treat them, so I will also choose to treat you kindly and gently, and even give you a treatment that you don't deserve at all.

Because I'm not looking at you, it's about a lot more people you can influence.

This does not mean that a corporal is a calculating hypocrite, on the contrary, it is more like a hypocrite to look at the gentleness and frugality of others with this attitude, and to put some kind of purpose on the other person, and refuse to admit that the other party is indeed a gentleman.

But it also shows that you can always find a utilitarian reason in one's choice of doing things if you want to.

It has nothing to do with what He thinks, it's what you think He should think.

In this matter, Rama's understanding is so.

He couldn't quite understand why Nahida suddenly felt that he, the Great Sage, needed to realize that Sumeru had a part of him.

Nahida did not emphasize to Rama that you, a Sumeru person, should make a sacrifice for Sumeru.

He was succinct and straightforward, telling Rama that this country has a part of you, so you need to choose this country for your own things.

This is Rama's habit all along, if I need you to do something, I will definitely start from your benefit, tell you what I will give you, and then you will come to consider whether my conditions can satisfy your mind and thoughts.

Rama liked the straightforward logic, but he didn't understand Nahida's sudden concern.

After a moment, a slight smile welled up on his face, "Because I accepted Morax's terms, I'm about to become the rock god of Liyue?" ”

Nahida was silent.

"I shouldn't worry about that," he said after a moment, looking at Rama steadily, "there is only a deal between you and Morax, and he will not really give up his country to a foreign god to rule." ”

If Zhongli had indeed cultivated a new Rock God, he would certainly have given Liyue to the other party with confidence.

This is a kind of inheritance between the ideas of the school, and the students taught by the teacher usually inherit the teacher's doctrine, and it is difficult and reasonable for him to turn his back on his teacher's position to do anything.

And Rama is the equivalent of an inheritor of heresy.

At a critical moment, Zhongli could use this person to promote his ideas, but he would never really give his school to Rama.

Rama was noncommittal: "You really don't need to worry. ”

A game is a game, reality is reality, and Rama certainly has a very good impression of Morax's series of demon gods in the game, but he doesn't really bring this favor into concrete decisions.

Correspondingly, it is even less necessary for Morax to believe in Rama completely.

It can only be said that this is a very delicate time, some kind of catastrophe is brewing in the depths of the world that can destroy everything, and when the shadows are cast, these demon gods seem to be able to talk a lot.

Most of the facts prove that internal solidarity is easier to build when external pressures arise, including when the invasions and co-optation tactics that may be faced become more dangerous.

Demon god lovers are not the kind of love that has a bad head, and they don't have complete trust in Rama, so much so that as soon as Rama opened his mouth, they patted Rama on the shoulder and said, "Which of us is with whom, of course I will give it to you if you want it······· Not really, not really.

"But I'm still worried." He simply spoke.

Rama had the intention to tease, but in the end he still pressed such a thought.

When the little girl confesses that she is worried, it is actually quite stupid to say what you are worried about or that you are really worried.

"They don't believe me." Rama crouched down, gently picked up the god, and placed it on his shoulder, "So I'll only choose you." ”

As he spoke, Rama was surprised to realize that he was only able to say such words.

His original intention was to describe that he would definitely choose Nahida, but after getting used to blurting it out, only a conditional expression remained.

You'll trust me, that's why I'll choose you.

He sighed softly, and a moment later, his heart was still completely calm.

Nahida, however, was reassured.

He actually thought so, but seeing that Rama's plans were thriving, and even when he was thinking about going to Liyue to contact the Seven Star Immortals and discuss becoming the second generation of rock gods, he was still a little worried.

But after Rama described this, He suddenly became calm and calm.

Cooperation is cooperation, but who in the world would believe in such a Rama?

He was not a good man, and everyone knows that His trustworthiness and honesty are always due to the fact that the cost of betrayal is not high enough.

Only in this way will the stupid grass god choose to leave all the decisions to Rama, without worrying about what he will do badly, so Rama can only choose this stupid grass god.

"I'm relieved." He whispered.

Rama's expression was a little indescribable, and he could only exhale slowly, swallowing a sentence that you are happy about.

Just feel ······ There's no need for it anymore.

Fortunately, Nahida is indeed a complete Lori body, so Rama's not too large body can support this kind of behavior.

The god didn't mean to simply come down, but shouted softly.

"Rama."

"Well, I'm here." Rama pondered how to remind Nahida that she could come down.

He just casually made a movement that seemed to be thinking about it for a long time, but when it was really placed on his shoulder, it didn't feel natural.

"Come out for a walk with me." Nahida said.

"I've been to Sumeru City many times, and you're going to go for a walk like this?"

Rama reminded.

"That's fine." Nahida nodded, "Great Sage... It's not a strange thing for the family of the gods to be with the gods, right? ”

"Okay." Rama nodded.

If the person concerned does not mind, he has no attitude of his own.

After all, it's some kind of glory, and there's no need to hide it.

So Rama spent half an afternoon accompanying Nahida to measure the entire city of Sumeru step by step.

The city has always been like this, and not much has changed, even the day Rama knocked on the city gates, he chose to be as gentle as possible.

At that time, the victory and defeat had already been decided, and there was no need to use any brutal means to intimidate the Sumeru people.

In addition to the work of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, but this part of the work is also supposed to be in the question, almost all the victors will take this move to some extent, and Rama does not think that killing the bloodline of the six sages is a means of killing chickens and monkeys.

The people of Sumeru avoided it.

If it were only Nahida, they would have had the courage to approach the gods, and even pray for some kind of ethereal blessing from the gods.

But with Rama, they don't have that kind of thought.

"They fear you, but they don't hate you." Nahida said.

This is not to appease Rama, but to be the result of tangible perception.

Although she is the god of grass, Nahida's ability has little to do with elemental power in terms of the performance of grass elemental power, just like another power rule.

"I know," Rama nodded, "I don't mind that fear. ”

"I promised you that I would promote this special alchemical potion throughout the territory of Sumeru." Rama suddenly remembered something, "This world needs heroes, not a large number of heroes' followers, and the means to help ordinary people are actually useless anymore. ”

Because of Rama, alchemy is too highly sought after in Sumeru.

Many people have tried to grasp some of the key elements from His study and then made their own attempts.

Rama does not suppress this pursuit, and even encourages it secretly.

Early in the story, he insisted on the idea that one person was short and two were long, hoping to raise the base number of Teyvats and then conduct his own research on that basis.

Even now, he still has this idea with him, which is why he recruits gifted scholars within the Seven Kingdoms.

Including the three wizards of Sumeru's legendary characters, they have now joined his laboratory.

Rama did not encourage them to abandon their research and become tools for their own experiments······· It's such a waste of one person.

Most people's talents are limited, and they tend to be concentrated in one or a few areas.

Their achievements in their own field have been verified by the legendary quest, not that other fields are not suitable for them, many people also discover their true talent in middle age or even old age, but it is too late.

The lifespan of human beings, in fact, is not much trial and error.

So Rama encouraged scholars, not warriors.

This idea was also criticized by the desert people who followed him, which in their eyes was a complete betrayal.

As everyone knows, there is little education in the desert.

When you choose a scholar over a warrior, you essentially choose the rainforest over the desert.

This is an idea dictated by Sumeru's unique circumstances, and Rama does not control their speech, and certainly does not mean to pay attention.

"The only value of research is to give people a longer lifespan, and then give them more time to make their own contribution in these areas." Rama said, "Actually, in my early days, I wanted to be able to produce a large number of experimental materials. ”

He said this with no embarrassment, as if he were describing what he had for breakfast.

"When I was an ordinary person, I could use ordinary people to advance my research."

"When you have a little elemental power, there are still a lot of materials with a Vision in this world that you can try to use."

"And when I get closer, I have a very limited number of people to choose from."

Diluc, Jean, Shenhe, Tartaglia, Kaedehara Kazuha········ The game's five-star and four-star doesn't prove anything, most of the game characters essentially provide a story, Rama likes their story, and he also likes the characters built on the story.

But when it comes to the actual research work, there are only a few people left for Rama to choose.

And he didn't really think much about it then and now, after all, he likes the stories of these people, so he doesn't want to do anything to them.

Now, one step closer, Diluc's materials have lost their value.

The study placed on them may have some feedback, but it is impossible for these feedback to affect Him.

The only thing left to choose is actually the only thing left······· Demon God.

Nahida didn't speak.

Of course, Rama's words are not implying that I need you to go to the testing bed, to be reasonable, Nahida really can't think of this level, and Rama can't do it to this extent.

He was just complaining.

Complain about this neurotic environment.

"Wouldn't it be easier if you knew less?" Nahida asked softly.

"Yes." Rama nodded, "But I'd rather know more." ”

"After all, this is the only way to comfort myself as much as possible when I fail, and I have done my best."

This is really not a good appeasement.

When people try their best to do something but don't succeed, the frustration and actual loss it brings are actually greater.

Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, you can.

After doing your best to obey the destiny of heaven, but the destiny of heaven makes you lose, you will not be at ease.

Rama was insincere, but he still used this phrase habitually.

If it is based on the assumption of failure, this is the last thing that can be used, and it cannot be said that if I fail, I will cut off my own head first, so that the other party has no way to kill me······· There's no need to be a funny character at this time.

What if you win?

Nahida didn't ask.

Because it's a stupid question, when you're ready and you've managed to defend against this disaster, then it's certainly a good thing.

There is no need to ask and think too much about good things.

"You look stupid when you don't have anything to say." He said.

"When you know that I don't have anything to say, shouldn't you learn from me?" Rama whispered, "You can find something to say." ”

"Not anymore," Nahida chuckled, "I have already told you all in the Palace of Pure Kindness." ”

"Then I'll be silent." Rama spread his hands as if helpless.

They walked through the entire city of Sumeru and finally returned to the Pure Good Palace.

At the time of separation, neither side had any words.
