Chapter 159 157 - What to do?
"I may be offended by what I say, but trust me, it's just a matter of fact."

Rama spoke calmly: "A few years ago, your father Cripps used the evil eye to repel the dragon Usa. He only used it this time, and then consumed all his vitality."

"Afterwards, you put the eye of God on the Knights, and left Mond with your evil eye, and went out to find troubles for the fools."

Then almost got killed.

The background of this plot is that Diluc wanted to find out why his father Cripps had evil eyes, so he left the Knights to find the truth.

And the Executor of Fools awaits all who thirst for the truth.

Those who walked in front of them either chose to join the crowd of fools, or were swallowed by darkness, unable to take away the truth.

Di Luke was the latter, but he was rescued.

To be reasonable, the reputation of fools is really bad.

In the story of the trial court in the Fontaine plot, one of the evidences presented by the water god is that the Linney brothers and sisters have a relationship with the fools, and then all the Fontaines in the audience immediately sent out "No wonder they would do such a thing" and "It is the fools." It’s the least surprising answer.”

A person's reputation can be very bad, but to the extent that the other party thinks it is not surprising that you do any bad things just by hearing your identity, this is already outrageous.

The person who rescued Di Luke claimed to have observed him for a long time and felt that he was a fighter with faith. Di Luke took advantage of the opportunity to join and successfully became a high-level executive.

He is indeed talented, whether it is in the Knights or anywhere, people quickly place great expectations on him and give him power so that he can shoulder higher responsibilities.

"You shouldn't know this." Di Luke was silent for a moment, "But it doesn't matter, the past is in the past."

His reconciliation with Qin is conditional.

He wants Jean to give him the power to actually control Mond to kill the fools, and Jean also has an obligation for him to fulfill.

Di Luke will become a knight of the Zephyr Knights, and perhaps in the future, he will become the new deputy leader.

Just like Rustan is to Alan Delin, the two shine for Mond together.

All of this is in the past, including the fact that my father was forced to die in an accident, and it should be in the past.

Diluc stretched out his hand to caress the Eye of God, his face was calm.

"There is a very important question here." Rama asked with a smile, "Do you know the magic dragon Usa?"

"A powerful monster that caused trouble for Mondstadt thousands of years ago and was finally defeated by Vanessa." Diluc replied, "If nothing else, the Wind God at that time should have chosen Vanessa, just like Kong had chosen It's like repelling the East Wind Dragon above Mond."

Everyone agrees that Vanessa is a hero.

But it takes strength to defeat the dragon.

Especially after the incident in the sky, the high-level knights also realized that it was probably because the wind god was behind the scenes that Vanessa was able to repel the dragon.

Fengshen did not approve of the choices of nobles such as Lawrence, but he naturally did not like to personally intervene in the battles among the Monds, so he trained heroes who conformed to his own free will to stand up.

"It's good that you agree with this statement." Rama thought for a while, "I'm sorry, do you really think that an ordinary person can repel the dragon Usa by risking his life?"

Diluc's eyes were cold: "I'm afraid what Lord Rama really said is, 'An ordinary person is worthy of doing such a thing'."

"No, no, that's not what I mean." Rama waved his hand, "But as far as I know, Mr. Cripps has not passed the test of the Knight Order, and he does not have the talent to become a knight."

It takes talent and strength to be a Zephyr Knight, and Cripps simply doesn't have that talent.

So later he trained Di Luke, hoping that Di Luke could become a perfect Zephyr knight.

In his early years, Diluc did fulfill his wish. However, after the death of Cripps, Diluc gave up his previous creed.

"A person who has no talent in martial arts can repel the dragon just by risking his life." Rama smiled gently, "Don't you think this is exaggerated?"

"Ordinary evil eyes do not have this ability." Di Luke did not deny, "but evil eyes have levels."

If the evil eyes issued to the soldiers of the Fools and Haizhi Island have this level of ability, the suppression of the Fools should be stronger.

After all, this is sacrificing himself for Solstice.

Sacrifice one person a day in exchange for combat power capable of repelling the dragon Usa for 1 minute.

If we weigh human lives on a scale, we can only say that this deal is really worth it.

But both Rama and Di Luke knew that the lives of ordinary people were not worth the price.

If you want to gamble your life and sit on the gambling table of fate, the owner of the gaming table will only sneer, "You deserve it too".

The price of life depends on the price of life, and the life of ordinary people does not have the price of being on the table.

"The evil eye is to squeeze life force in exchange for power. If we describe it as a tool, it needs the user to provide life energy, and then convert life energy into observable combat power."

Such as elemental power, such as a stronger body.

"So the core that determines the explosive combat power is very clear, the total amount of vitality provided, and the energy conversion rate of the machine."

The total amount of vitality depends on the person.

Di Luke and ordinary Haizhi Island soldiers can't be at the same level. If they can be the same, it will be too difficult.

Conversion efficiency, this depends on the level of the tool, that is, the level of the evil eye.

This should also be the reason why the Haizhi Island Rebel Army received free assistance from fools to Xieyan in the later period.

Fools need cannon fodder to provide data, and then make better tools to ensure that the same amount of vitality can be converted into higher combat power values.

It's insulting that the same tools that are given to cannon fodder can't be used by executives.

"This is also what I am curious about." Diluc took a deep breath, "The evil eye used by my father is of a very high level, and may even be of a level exclusive to executive officers."

Since it is a tool, I dare not say that it can be mass-produced, but fools can't only have the resources to make eleven evil eyes.

Cripps uses the evil eye of the executive level, and it doesn't mean that he is the top of the fools.

But there is no doubt that he must have some connections with the upper echelons of the Fools.

Otherwise, who gave him the evil eye?

This is also the truth that Diluque pursued back then.

He wanted to prove his father's innocence and heroic sacrifice, but the evil eye stuck in his throat, reminding him that Cripps must be somehow connected to the Fools.

There are grades and grades in tools, and good tools and bad tools are of course not the same effect.

"Then let this issue go for now. I have no interest in Mondstadt's internal affairs." Rama let it go at the right time.

To continue the conversation would be to question Cripps' position, a question that would only irritate Diluque.

There is no need, whether he is betrayal or loyal, it has nothing to do with Rama, so why bother.

"I won't tell you what the fools want to do." Rama restrained his smile and spoke seriously, "When I was in Sumeru, I did a business with Dadalia, and I got what I wanted. The price is that I have to keep them a secret."

“The Fools have such a bad reputation that any evil deed associated with them is not surprising.”

"But I can't let my reputation follow suit."

Rama said: "Besides, the price to be paid for breaking the contract is very high, and I am not sure if I can bear it."

Diluc nodded slightly.

That is to say, Rama knew a secret related to the fools, and had already received a hush money from them.

This secret is very important. Once he is exposed, he can only die for everyone to see.

That's really important.

"So, the plan Dadalia is working on is related to the plan you know."

"As long as I stop it, the fools will definitely be able to pay a bigger and heavier price."

Diluc understood.

"I didn't say anything," Rama waved his hands again and again, "don't make random guesses."

"I still want to cooperate with fools. In cooperation, you must have a correct attitude, give the other party what they want, and only take what you should get."

"If you guess randomly, it will be fine if it affects Mond at that time. If it affects me, it will be a big trouble."

Rama sticks to the bottom line.

It's not that his moral value only cares about these things, it's just that you have to let your friends or enemies have a basic confidence.

They can get what they want from you.

How you got it is not important.

Whether you can take it or not is not important.

What matters is that they can get it.

At least to do this, Rama can get more cooperation requests.

It is Rama's personal design for himself to do what he says.

It should be said that this is not a simple character design, and Rama has indeed persisted in this way.

"He also handed you a letter, saying that Kong blocked their plan..." Diluc stood up, "I understand."

"What do you understand?" Rama asked casually.

"It has nothing to do with you anyway."

Diluc's answer was in line with Rama's wishes.

"That's really great." Rama smiled and blessed, "Then I wish you a smooth journey."

Diluque had the answer.

Rama could not reveal the deal with Dadalia.

He has already got what he deserves, so he must fulfill his obligations.

It is always a bit troublesome to operate things like integrity, and it is too much trouble to manage it after it is destroyed.

So Rama had to guarantee his integrity.

He didn't reveal anything to Diluc about the confidential content. What he revealed was that he signed a contract with the fools to keep the secret, and breaking the contract would pay the price of his death.

Diluc then understood that what Dadalia was doing must be the plan of the Fools and even the Solstice Kingdom.

Apart from such a plan, he couldn't think of any other price that would be enough for fools to think of ways to kill people like Rama.

This does not violate the contract. Similarly, it also gives Di Luke enough news.

He doesn't yet know the plan of the Fools, but he knows that this plan is crucial to the Fools.

Then that's enough.

Watching Di Luke leave, Rama then drafted a letter.

In the letter, he emphasized the cooperation and friendship between himself and the Fools, and expressed his willingness to reach a deeper cooperative relationship with the Fools.

"Continuing to use foolish people as experimental subjects will not look good to your friends." Rama stretched out his hand and rubbed his chin, "Is there any place that is chaotic enough? While human lives are worthless, their vitality is still relatively strong and healthy." How about strong?"

There really is such a place.

Rice wife.

"If we go according to the timeline, after the settlement of the invitation to Xiandianyi, Kong stayed in Liyue and Mond for a while, and then met Dyensreb."

"He was not able to cross the thunderstorm and had to wait for help from the Southern Cross."

"But I have a good relationship with the Fools, and I can use their relationship to reach Daozu. Even if the cooperation continues to deepen, I can also use their network in Daozu to conduct research."

Rama began to think seriously.

He murmured in a low voice: "Although my research base in Mond has already taken shape, apart from sugar, there is actually nothing that cannot be discarded."

"It's better to simply give the research base to the Zephyr Knights in exchange for the last supplies and Mora, and then go to Daozuma to build a new research base."

There is not even a need to build a new research base.

The research base of the Fools can also be borrowed.

With the financial resources of fools, it is not difficult to repurchase or even transport some precious materials and instruments across the sea.

Cooperating with fools, if you put aside their behavior style, the benefits of cooperation will always outweigh the disadvantages.

The only problem is...
"Mond's master is the Knights of the West Wind, and the Knights will protect me."

"But Dao's wife's master has already joined forces with the fools. I set up an experimental base in Dao's wife, which is equivalent to sending my life into the hands of the fools... Are they worthy of my trust?"

Rama couldn't help laughing: "What are you thinking, this is a crowd of fools."

The thought of delivering trust only twirled in Rama's mind for half a second, and he immediately laughed at his own greed.

Money touches people's hearts, and for a moment, he will try to entrust his own trust because of the benefits that the fools can deliver... How dare he trust the fools?
What a ridiculous idea.

"But a mechanical body cannot use alchemy. If I don't go there in person, I won't be able to use the materials there at all."

Rama bowed his head in thought.

In Daozhu, far away from the mainland, it is not an exaggeration to say that life is in the hands of others.

It was impossible for Nasita in Sumeru to keep Rama going to Inazuma. Going there was a gamble that the fools only wanted to cooperate and not do unnecessary things.

But is it possible?

After all, this is fools.

It would be too bad not to go, after all, Daozu is the most chaotic place right now, where the war is raging, there will be more materials, and more people will need the experimental results.

So, what to do?
