Steady progress and thriving.

Rama looked a little dazed, which should be good news, but there was something strange about how he behaved.

The students who studied with Him were even aware of it, but they were not willing to ask Rama if He might have something else to think about.

But that's not all.

Siraj looked respectful, "Teacher, something doesn't seem right about you. ”

At this time, the more suitable rhetoric is actually to express on the spot that he is willing to be a lackey for the adults and solve problems for the adults, but Siraj thought about it and didn't dare to say it.

From a scholar's point of view, he was a bit too utilitarian.

Rama doesn't think this is a bad thing, if a person is completely indifferent to the point of not seeking fame and fortune, such a person is really difficult to drive. Unless he had some extraordinary talent that he had to be, Rama was reluctant to come into contact with such people.

It's troublesome, and there's so much uncertainty.

Siraj was not such a person, his fanaticism for research and his pursuit of fame and fortune were obvious, and it just so happened that these were nothing to Rama, so he simply gave these things to Siraj.

Just like now, of course, Siraj is not the only one who wants to show his face in front of Rama, but only Siraj really mustered up the courage.

"The experiment went so well." Rama patted Siraj on the shoulder, "It's going to be so good that I'm a little worried. ”

Siraj's expression was a little strange.

He didn't know what preparations Rama had made, but what he could see was that almost the entire environment of Sumeru was supporting Rama's research.

While it is impossible to guarantee the success of the experiment with the support of the whole country, it is not entirely incomprehensible if it does go well.

Like Rama, who is only suspicious because of the smooth progress, Siraj's first reaction is naturally that you have a sick head, right?

But a moment later, a very conventional reaction supported Siraj's subsequent thoughts.

Of course, people are sick when they think so, but He is Rama.

Rama must have some kind of deep meaning when he thinks so, but the level difference between him and Rama is too far, so he can't understand Rama's hidden worries.

"I can't understand the teacher's concern." "But I think I asked a question I shouldn't have asked." ”

Rama could only be suspicious but couldn't find a question, so he shouldn't have asked more.

"It doesn't matter." Rama's expression was calm, and Siraj's mind was almost unobstructed, and he didn't find anything strange in the slightest.

"I have some business to do in Liyue, and in the meantime, you'll be in charge of the lab."

Siraj glanced at Faruzan before suppressing his excitement and whispering, "Yes, I see!" ”

He could also see Rama's thoughts.

This laboratory, which can easily be fully supported by Sumeru, is actually not special in his eyes.

He didn't deliberately choose a suitable manager for it when he left, but he Siraj just appeared at this time, and he simply handed over the laboratory to Rama.

But what does it matter? I got what I wanted, and it was enough. 】

Siraj thought so.

Rama did not forbid the members of the laboratory to have their own research, on the contrary, he was too supportive of other people's ideas.

Knowing that their research is insignificant to a scholar who has conquered the realm of human beings and gods, Rama is willing to direct the research of most people and will approve the resources of the laboratory directly.

Siraj also has his own research, which he has been conducting behind the scenes for a long time.

When the group of the previous generation of the Six Sages Azar was coerced by Rama, they lifted the ban on the Akademiya and allowed people to access the forbidden research projects.

Siraj's research made rapid progress at this stage, but soon came to a failure.

Even without Alhaithham, the place where failure should have been predestined would have been preordained.

Alhaitham was the quickest to see the problem and exploit it.

But the question has always been, with or without Alhaithham, this hidden danger will destroy Siraj's experiments.

The failure obviously didn't make Siraj give up, and he was still preparing for a second big trial, but unfortunately after the results of the last failure spread, no one was willing to accept Siraj's invitation.

It's hard to say what the benefits of his research are, but the disadvantages for other individuals are obvious—he wants to be king, and he turns you into a hunting hound.

This kind of research is unlikely to be accepted by people with bad heads, especially since most people have quite normal heads.

Siraj also knows very well, and he knows even more that the refusal of these people is not a refusal to be a dog, but only a price that he can offer, which is not worthy of them to be a dog.

Disgust with oppression and disgust with the oppressed are two completely different directions, most people think of themselves as the former, a fighter for freedom, but in terms of results, in fact, the latter is the majority.

And now, he's found enough price.

As if she hadn't paid any attention, Faruzan straightened the test bed and walked away.

Rama patted Siraj on the shoulder, then motioned for him to leave.

After the show was over, Siraj bowed goodbye and walked away quickly.

Rama didn't pay attention to these little theaters, and he was now very sure that what the Great Compassion Tree King did five hundred years ago was definitely more than just playing with the Red King.

[To be able to convince Morax and Barbatos that these things are not very incomprehensible.] 】

Rama's eyes narrowed slightly, and his fingers unconsciously tapped on the table.

[But it's not as natural as I thought.] 】

The crux of the matter lies in the contract.

Unlike normal magical worlds, Teyvat's contracts are not absolutely valid.

[The binding force of the contract comes from the law, and the law is backed by the violent institutions of a state, and anyone who tries to directly challenge or violate the law will be hunted down by the violent organs. 】

[Death is the core deterrent of the law, because there is a price to pay for touching it, so people will be cautious. 】

The premise of caution is that the profit is not big enough.

If it's an ordinary high-demon world, these worlds often have something that seems ordinary but very outrageous, an oath or a contract.

Specifically, if you promise something, you must do it.

Otherwise, no matter where you are, who you are protected by, or what kind of precautions you have, you will pay a terrible price in the end.

The Great Dao Oath of the Fantasy Class, the slave contract of the Western Fantasy Class and the like, are all such outrageous things.

Who will guarantee them that the contract must be fulfilled?

World.

It is the world itself that can override all life in this world.

Of course, since all locks can be manufactured, it is inevitable that one day they will be broken, and experiments and contracts naturally have their means of violating them.

But Teyvat is different, Teyvat doesn't have it at all.

"Morax is known as the God of Contracts, but it's not that he has any special divine authority in this regard, like Nahida's dream powers, but it's something very simple."

Whoever breaks his word shall be punished by eating rocks.

The meaning of this sentence is very simple, if you break the contract with me, I will use the power of the rock element to nail you to death.

If you can't beat me and don't want to die well, then respect the contract with me.

The validity of the contract is not that it can cost anyone, but that the god who guarantees the contract needs to be taken seriously by all.

Behind the advantage at the negotiating table is the advantage on the battlefield.

Behind the respect of the contract is the absolute violence that can destroy the other party.

The binding force of Morax's contract stems from the rock god's stubbornness in the contract, and the fact that he really has the power to make others have to respect him.

Of course, it is also in everyone's common interest to abide by the contract itself, and if the contract can be torn up at will, the world is not so interesting.

Rama's face was a little distressed.

Because of Nahida, he really thought that Morax had special abilities in this area, and not just limited to the rock elemental force itself.

When He realized it, He realized that something was wrong.

Without such a contract, Zhongli was already too old, so how could he trust Rama to keep the contract and not do anything to Liyue?

By His faith in Rama's character········ That's fine, after all, Rama hasn't really broken any contract until now.

Although Rama never thought about his reputation and always considered himself as a bad person, he has done a good job in terms of contracts and integrity, and has never done anything to undermine his integrity.

Rama does not consider this possibility.

It's impossible to bet on dice for this kind of big thing, and even if you have a 99% probability, but fate gives you a lead-filled dice, you still can't afford it.

Since things need to happen, it can only be one hundred percent.

From this point of view, Zhongli's trust in Rama was too hasty.

He and Rama haven't seen each other for a long time, and the contact between the two sides is not very much, if it's empty, it is reasonable for Zhongli to trust him so much, but this person should not be Rama.

Almost without thinking, Rama was the first to think of the Great Tree of Mercy.

This is not a part that requires too much consideration, collecting the seven elements is almost the only way that Teyvat's native plane can use, and the elemental dragon whose single elemental power has reached the extreme of the world is still beaten into a dog at a critical moment, and in the end, it is necessary to use forces outside the world to complete a counterattack.

What can be considered by the system in the world is to collect the seven elements.

This is certainly not a simple operation, otherwise someone would have gone through this step before Sora and Rama.

Needless to say, Rama relied on experience points to build up, and even if the path didn't work at all, Rama was able to forcibly carve out a path.

It is not difficult to predict Rama's means.

"Not bad news." After thinking about it, Rama could only comfort himself with this, "At least the plan is so smooth, it's good news." ”

I thought so, but Rama still looked at the Pure Shan Palace.

He was so sure that the King of the Great Tree of Mercy was never dead.

If a person learns his destiny nearly a thousand years in advance but still can't change his certain death, this does not show that he is stupid and weak, but only that fate is such a strong thing that mortals cannot break free at all.

But Teyvat's fate is not so solid, and there is every possibility of being modified.

If you don't want to continue to walk in such a daze, you must find the Great Mercy Tree King who secretly manipulates everything······· There may even be more gods watching him.

Rama's expression was calm.

He was already suspicious, and Siraj's suspicions before were actually reasonable, but his changed mind was a little too outrageous.

Pure Shan Palace, Nahida.

Should we doubt Him?

Knew all this for a long time, but didn't say anything?

Rama was silent for a moment, his face unusually tangled.

Is the truth valuable? Is it worth Him doing something that might make everyone unhappy?

Thinking about the best results, even if you really find the Great Mercy Tree King, it won't change anything.

He still has to collect the seven elemental power and faith, the purest of the seven elemental power should be the seven dragons, but these dragons now need to rely on the gods to contact, and some dragons have no news at all.

In addition, there is faith, neither Sumeru nor He can support the aftermath of a real war to destroy the country, and if you want to seek a foreign faith, it is better to remain silent.

Just being silent and forgetting about things that may not be important or that you may know but can't change can be exchanged for so many benefits.

Giving up so many benefits and destroying some precious trust will probably not be answered in the end.

After all, in Teyvat, the Riddler is confined to not speak.

The pros and cons are so clear that Rama would hesitate.

He should be decisive in choosing the most profitable portion, not hesitating here.

After a moment of silence, he looked away and flew in the direction of Liyue.

In Liyue, the second generation of the Rock God has been swept up in rhetoric, and he needs to come forward a little bit to let the people know his name and what he looks like before he can try to gather their faith.

It is always necessary for believers to know who this god really is, so that they can use this identity to gather faith······· This is a necessary process, but it doesn't have to be too real, after all, the difference between Barbatos, the god of wind, preached by the Church of Zephyr, and Barbatos, the real god of wind, is obvious to all.

If the gods don't intervene, the god that the people preach is actually what they think they are.

Like the villagers who sacrificed a little boy to the Thunderbird on the isolated island, they saw the Thunderbird's affection for Ruu, and then speculated and determined that the Thunderbird must want to eat Ruu.

Thunderbird can't understand, you want to adjust the wind and rain for my sake, for the sake of Ruu's face, that's how you repay me?

After all, there is a difference between a fantasy god and a real god, and Barbatos and Thunderbird respectively verify this answer.
