367 - Above the Self

Rama firmly believes that all suffering will only come from his own powerlessness.

This principle is common everywhere.

Funina's pain stems from the fact that she has always wanted to solve a fateful disaster, but reality tells her all the time that you can't do it, and the only thing you have been able to do in 500 years of life and have value to do is to wait.

If a person lives to wait for tomorrow, it is normal for his life to be miserable.

Because man must first depart from yesterday and live in today, and then he can imagine tomorrow.

Funinga has no past, doesn't like the present, only wants the future.

Rama could understand Funina's pain, but he couldn't help with it, or he had done all the work and Funina didn't know it.

The floods in Fontaine have practically been resolved.

Navillette, who had become a complete dragon, could sense the exact location of the big whale, and he didn't intend to continue to give the other party a chance to mess around, nor was he the kind of madman who had to wait until things were irreparable, and then save the day in the eyes of people.

Like Rama, and even more normal people, He upheld the idea that trouble should be solved as soon as it supposed, hoping that it would be solved as soon as it sprouted.

He had found the whale and would be at the Opéra d'Opéra de Eupiclair, waiting for the vacancy to settle the problem.

From this point of view, the future that Funina was looking forward to had arrived, and Rama helped to make the day come to her a long time earlier.

But pain is a personal sense, and if she has to suffer, Rama can't do anything about it.

So in this matter, Rama offered her another solution.

Let her sink in a troublesome thing that can be solved but is difficult to solve.

The unsolvable difficulties must be solved, and the pain of powerlessness will torment Funina every moment.

And a problem that needs to be solved urgently, and which seems to be solvable with her efforts, Funina is able to realize the value of her efforts.

An inch in, an inch of joy.

Of course, Rama didn't know whether she was happy or not, he could only be sure that with Funina's abilities and her responsibility for the problems of Fontaine, she certainly didn't have time to agonize about any other illusory future.

She is really not very capable, but she is very responsible, and she is not good at refusing.

It's hard not to suffer from this kind of character, but this kind of torment Funinga has long been used to, so that when she can occasionally make time to find herself flawless and cranky, normal people will feel that their labor force is really being squeezed to the extreme, and she will feel that such days seem to be okay, I don't like it very much, but it won't be very painful.

This description can actually be summed up in four words, people are addicted to food.

Of course, there are risks in deciding, for example, when Funingna stayed up late, the window of Rama's room was also smashed by someone, but the other party didn't make more moves, Rama slept as usual, and let Funingna stay up late to deal with affairs.

Actually, it's already a bit late.

Fontaine's troubles are resolved, and Funina's pain looks like it's coming to an end, so Rama goes from being an international friend who delivers "goodwill" to a bad party who causes trouble for Funina.

She no longer had to continue pretending to be the god of water, she wanted to leave to be an ordinary person, and Rama asked her to do another job without stopping, just in time to take on her first job, and prepare her second job seamlessly.

But in the end, Fcalus and Navelette chose to acquiesce.

They may love people, but they also deeply believe that it is not good to be an ordinary person.

This is based on Teyvat's underlying logic, the world is not safe, and Navillette and Fukalus both deeply feel this way, the former is a dragon who has been stripped of the cornerstone of power, and the latter is a god who must sacrifice himself to solve the problem.

They are aware of the world's disregard for the weak in the face of the same adversary.

Funina may not be strong, but she can't really stay strong.

And according to her previous reaction, once Fontaine's crisis is resolved, her first step is to leave Momang Palace and become an ordinary person.

It didn't matter if she left the Momang Palace, as long as Fucarus and Navillette were alive, she was there, and that was the center of the Momang Palace's attention.

But she wants to be an ordinary person, which is really not good.

Fucarus couldn't dissuade him, he was considerate and even too considerate of Funingna's pain, so he was too able to understand Funingna's feelings about wanting to leave, so he was naturally unwilling to dissuade him.

And Rama stepped forward.

Because Fucarus is not dead, the divine favor on Funingna certainly does not end.

She didn't get the Vision of God, but there were too many means to control the elemental power, and Funina, who sat on the favor of the god of water, was still a powerhouse in the mortal echelon.

Her body is not fragile, it is only a tired heart that is fragile.

Rama came up with a solution, and he was determined to make Funina's body tired, and thus her mind flawless.

Of course, this set of theories is problematic, and it is close to the concept that parents are to their children, "I think it's just pretending", and almost completely don't think that only people with heart disease will have the ultimate judgment of being flawless.

Thankfully, Funina has no problem.

It's easy for her to guess that the final choice is really not much different from the theory.

This didn't solve the core problem, it just steered her down another path, but she was still trapped by the shadows of her past.

So now, it was the turn of Fucarus and Navillette to take the stage.

They will truly dispel Funina's nightmares and save her from thinking about the last five hundred years of waiting.

Fcalus let out a sigh of relief.

It is not dangerous to trust Rama, because he trusts the final judgment of the Great Tree of Mercy and does not think that Rama will be a bad person in the conventional sense.

The only tricky part is that Rama's declaration when he first came to Fontaine was not really a provocation or a word chosen for the sake of temptation······ That's really what He thought.

Unlike the regular Seven Archons, Rama really has no love for ordinary people, he only hurts these people without any benefit, and it is purely a waste of time, so there is no problem in the final performance.

He does not forge a wall of wind to isolate the cold of the outside world like Diecarapian, when the fabled tyrant was active, and the land of Mondstadt was covered with snow and ice, making it difficult for ordinary people to survive here.

Later, the early Mondstadt people felt that the wall cut off their perception of the outside world, leaving them to be trapped in the small space they were currently in. This was the early Mondstadtdians' quest for free will, and they rebelled against it, and at this time they met Barbatos, the true son of Destiny of Mondstadt, who overturned Decarapian, who had emptied the demon god of Mondstadt, and it was completely difficult to understand where his strength came from.

In short, Barbatos was deeply influenced by what he saw and heard during this period, and later he really established Mondstadt as a free country, and he didn't want the rules of the gods to bind the country, but in the end, it was impossible for the people of Mondstadt to see him.

The freedom granted by the gods is so absolute, not to mention that the rules that bind the people of Mondstadt, and he himself often disappears.

This kind of thing is impossible for Rama to come.

He will periodically open the walls of the wind and allow those who like freedom to leave, rather than spreading the yearning for freedom in a fixed and narrow area.

It's not a storm that threatens people with death to submit to Him, but it really doesn't care about their thoughts and will.

If you want to be free, you will be free, and if you want to stay, you will be free.

The simple understanding of freedom to do is that in most cases there is the right to simply refuse to do what you don't want to do, and absolute freedom is to do what you want.

You enjoy freedom, and I enjoy absolute freedom.

Normally, of course, He doesn't really ask people to do anything, Rama said that you just need to obey me, but throughout Sumeru's reign, He had almost no orders, and he was completely independent of Sumeru.

Phucaros didn't think Rama had any ill will towards the Fontaine, and what he claimed was actually something he didn't bother to do.

But in this matter, Rama obviously had more choices and arrangements, but he still chose a simple answer so directly, which made Fucarus a little concerned.

He didn't even have to lie, he just didn't have to mention it, and everything would fall into place.

When he firmly established himself as the god of water, no one would try to challenge the god's authority, even if he was arbitrary in certain matters.

Rama doesn't do that, he wants to tear apart everyone's tacit understanding and choose to make an answer public, so that everyone will accept his answer.

This may not be the case······ But now that the situation at Fontaine is already excellent, do you still want to put the future on these people in batches?

Fcalus fell into thought.

He would not have been present at the play at the Opéra Opéra Pipico, and although the actors did not know the script, they knew that it was just a performance, and that there would be no danger or surprise.

It wasn't clear to Phwinina that around her own stress reaction, Fcalos had already thought about whether or not to continue to bet on the future in batches.

Fucarus was well aware that both he and Navillette had absolute limitations, and that if there was some kind of colossal catastrophe in the future, they would not be the one who could solve the problem. If He were, he wouldn't sacrifice himself in the script; If Velette was, he wouldn't have needed the sacrifice of Fcalos to save Fontaine.

The limitations of gods and dragons are reflected in the story of Fontaine, and it is clear that the troubles of the future are not just that.

Fcalos chose to bet on someone else, a thing he did with great skill, and he didn't worry about any surprises—after all, he had done it once in Fontaine's history.

He put his hope on Naviette, and Neverette lived up to his expectations and indeed solved the disaster of Fontaine.

This is just the beginning of another time, only this time it may not be possible for Neverette to solve the problem, so he needs to find someone more hopeful than Neverette and entrust Fontaine's future to him.

Fucarus can only entrust him, he doesn't even have any unwillingness, after all, the real unwillingness has long been exhausted in five hundred years.

The Opéra Opéra de Eupiclair did not actually shut down.

Although Navillette is gone, the Fontaine's perception of the verdict is actually "the reading of the order of the cardinal by the supreme judge", that is, it is the cardinal who really determines the outcome of the trial.

Leaving the right and wrong of a trial to the machine is a unique perception of the people of Fontaine.

Of course, this is also because the edict ruled that the cardinals had not been wrong in the past hundreds of years.

Its judgment is based on the comparison of evidence on paper, to distinguish between right and wrong.

Like the unjust Carres, from the perspective of the latecomers, the trial was of course wrong, after all, the murderer was obviously not the president of the Thorn Rose Society, Carres.

But this is because latecomers introduce new chains of evidence.

In the chain of evidence that existed at that time, it was obvious that Carres should be the real murderer, the only two people in a certain space, one was shot and died, and the other was holding a gun in his hand, and the evidence could only be pushed to Carres.

And the appearance of emptiness is accompanied by a new chain of evidence, turning the only two people in the existing chain of evidence into two people and a third person who has disappeared.

The questions have changed, and so will the answers······

Such exceptional circumstances are rare, and in most cases the cardinal is always right.

The people of Fontaine have become accustomed to trusting the cardinal's answers, and in the absence of Navilet, the cardinal's decision to function properly can also help the people of Fontaine to carry out these regular "performances".

The only thing that makes people a little unaccustomed is the lack of a majestic figure on the table.

Navillette had been in Fontaine for too long, and he was always standing in that position, and people had become accustomed to such a god.

Especially with Rama as a contrast, there are more people who miss Navilet.

Although this lord is iron-faced and selfless, he is reasonable.

The new god of water is different, although he also speaks reason, but the truth he advocates is obviously power.

Although everyone advocates this truth, it is also a matter of course that all beings above the self are equal, and Rama is obviously the one above them, and he does not want all beings to be equal, so everyone else has to accept his truth.

That's not good.

Of course, there can be a clear hierarchy under the self, but above the self, all beings must be equal.

You are a god, if you pay attention to such a truth, then everyone can only listen to your truth in this life, in this case, of course they miss Navillette, after all, Navillette pays attention to the truth of sentient beings.

He respects the rules of Fontaine, the principles of Fontaine, and does not override his own principles.
