Yuanshen: The sea of ​​sand at the beginning, straight to the seat of God

Chapter 319 Chapter 317-It’s okay not to know

Steady progress and prosperity.

Rama looked a little dazed, which should be good news, but his behavior was really strange.

Those students who studied with him were even aware of this matter, but they were not willing to ask Rama, only thinking that he might have other levels of problems that he was thinking about.

But that's not all.

Siraj looked respectful, "Teacher, there seems to be something wrong with you."

The words that should be used at this time are actually to express on the spot that he is willing to work as a lackey for the adults and solve problems for the adults. However, Siraj thought about it and did not dare to say these words.

From a scholar's point of view, he is 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 wealth, such a person will be really difficult to drive. Unless he has some extraordinary talent that makes him indispensable, Rama is reluctant to come into contact with such a person.

It’s troublesome and there are too many uncertainties.

Siraj was not such a person. His enthusiasm for research and pursuit of fame and fortune were obvious. These happened to be nothing to Rama, so he simply handed these things to Siraj.

Just like now, of course Siraj was not the only one who wanted 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 went so well that I was 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 in Sumeru supported Rama's research.

Of course, the support of the whole country cannot guarantee that the experiment will be successful. Similarly, if it really succeeds, it is not completely incomprehensible.

For someone like Rama, who was suspicious simply because things were going well, Siraj's first reaction was naturally that there was something wrong with your head, right?

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

Of course most people are sick if they think this way, but He is Rama.

Rama must have some deep meaning when he thinks this way, but the level difference between him and Rama is too far, so he cannot understand Rama's hidden worries.

"I can't understand the teacher's concern." He looked respectful, "But I think I asked a question that I shouldn't have asked."

Ramadu could only doubt but could not find any questions, so he should not ask more questions.

"It doesn't matter." Rama looked calm. Siraj's thoughts were almost clear, and he didn't think there was anything strange at all.

"I have some matters that require me to go to Liyue. During this period, you will be in charge of the laboratory."

Siraj glanced at Fa Lushan first, then suppressed his excitement and responded in a low voice: "Yes, I understand!"

He could also see what Rama was thinking.

This laboratory, which can easily receive Xumi's full support, is actually not special in His eyes.

He did not deliberately choose a suitable manager for it when he left, but Siraj happened to appear at this time, and he simply handed over the laboratory to Rama.

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

Siraj thought so.

Rama did not prohibit members of the laboratory from conducting their own research; on the contrary, he was too supportive of other people's whimsical ideas.

I know that their research is actually insignificant for a scholar who has conquered the realm of humans and gods, but Rama is willing to guide and observe the research of most people, and will directly approve the laboratory resources.

Siraj also had his own research, which he had been conducting secretly a long time ago.

When the group of the Six Sages Azar of the previous generation was intimidated by Rama, they once relaxed the ban of the Holy Order and allowed people to access those prohibited research projects.

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

Even without Elhaysen, the place where it should fail has already been doomed.

Elhaysen was just the quickest to see the problem and take advantage of it.

But the problem has always been that with or without Alhaysen, this hidden danger will destroy Siraj's experiment.

Failure obviously will not make Siraj give up. He is still preparing for the second large-scale experiment. Unfortunately, after the results of the last failure spread, no one is willing to accept Siraj's invitation.

It's hard to say what the benefits of his research are, but the drawbacks to other individuals are very obvious - he wants to be a king and turn you into a hunting hound.

This kind of research is unlikely to be accepted by people with broken brains, not to mention that most people's brains are quite normal.

Siraj also knew very well, and what he knew even more clearly was that these people's refusal was not that they refused to be treated as dogs, but that the price he could offer was not worthy of being treated as dogs by them.

Those who hate oppression and those who hate being oppressed are two completely different trends. Most people think that they are the former and freedom fighters, but as far as the results are concerned, in fact, most of them are the latter.

Now, he found a price that was enough.

Fa Lushan seemed not to pay attention at all. She tidied up the test bench and walked away.

Rama patted Siraj on the shoulder and signaled that he could leave.

After the appearance, Siraj bowed to say goodbye and left quickly.

Rama did not pay attention to these small theaters. He was now extremely certain that what King Daci Shu did five hundred years ago was definitely more than just playing games with King Red.

[Be able to convince Morax and Barbatos that the occurrence of these things is actually not very incomprehensible. 】

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

[But it’s not as natural as I thought. 】

The crux of the matter is the contract.

Unlike the normal magical world, Teyvat's contract is not absolutely effective.

[The binding force of the contract comes from the law, and the law is backed by a country's violent institutions. Anyone who tries to directly challenge or violate the law will be hunted by the violent institutions. 】

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

The premise of being cautious is that the profit is not big enough.

If it is a general high-magic world, these worlds often have something that seems ordinary but is very outrageous, an oath or a contract.

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

Otherwise, no matter where you are, who protects you, or what precautions you take, you will pay a heavy price in the end.

Things like the Grand Avenue Oath in the fantasy genre and the slave contract in the Western fantasy genre are all so outrageous. Who will guarantee them that the contract must be fulfilled?

world.

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

Of course, since all locks can be manufactured, they will inevitably be cracked one day. Experiments and contracts naturally have their own means of violating them.

But Teyvat is different. Teyvat doesn't exist at all.

"Morax is known as the God of Contracts, but it is not that he has any special divine power in this regard, like Nasida's dream ability, but it is a very simple thing."

Those who break their promises shall be punished by eating rocks.

The meaning of this sentence is very simple. If you violate the contract with me, I will use the rock elemental power to nail you to death.

If you can't defeat me and don't want to die a good death, then respect your contract with me.

The effectiveness of a contract is not that it can make anyone pay the price, but that the god who guarantees the contract needs to be taken seriously by everyone.

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

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

The binding force of Morax's contract comes from the rock god's stubbornness towards the contract, and the fact that he really has the power to force others to respect his principles.

Of course, abiding by the contract itself is also the common interest of everyone. If the contract can be torn up at will, the world will not be so interesting.

Rama's expression was a bit distressed.

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

When he realized this, he realized something was wrong.

There was no such contract, and Zhongli was already too old. How could he dare to believe that Rama would abide by the contract and not take action against Liyue?

As long as he believed in Rama's character... This was no problem, after all, Rama had not really broken any contract so far.

Although Rama never considers his reputation and always considers himself a bad person, he is still doing very well in terms of contract and integrity and has never done anything to destroy his integrity.

Rama did not consider this possibility.

It's impossible to bet on dice on such a big thing. Even if you have a 99% probability, you still can't afford it if fate gives you a lead-filled dice.

Since something needs to happen, it can only be one hundred percent.

From this perspective, Zhongli's trust in Rama was too hasty.

He and Rama had not met each other for a long time, and the two parties did not have much contact. If it was Kong, it would be reasonable for Zhongli to trust him so much, but this person should not be Rama.

With almost no need to think, Rama first thought of the Great Merciful Tree King.

This is not a part that requires too much consideration. Collecting the seven elements is almost the only way to use it in the native plane of Teyvat. An elemental dragon with a single elemental power reaching the extreme of the world was beaten into a dog at the critical moment. , in the end it is necessary to use forces from outside the world to complete a counterattack.

What the system within the world can consider is the collection of seven elements.

This is certainly not a simple operation, otherwise someone should have completed this step before Sora and Rama.

There is no need to mention the specialness of Kong. Rama relied on experience points to build it up. Even if this road is completely unreachable, Rama can forcefully open up a way.

It is not difficult to predict Rama's methods.

"It's not bad news." After thinking about it, Rama could only comfort himself, "At least the plan is going so smoothly, which is good news."

That's what he thought, but Rama still looked at Jingshan Palace.

He was extremely certain that King Daci Shu was definitely not dead.

If a person knows his destiny nearly a thousand years in advance but still cannot change his inevitable death, this does not mean that he is stupid or weak. It can only mean that fate is such a solid thing that mortals cannot escape at all.

But Teyvat's fate is actually not that solid, and there is a possibility of it being modified.

If you don't want to continue walking in such a confused way, you must find the Great Ci Tree King who is secretly controlling everything... There may even be more gods peeping at him.

Rama looked calm.

He was already suspicious. Siraj's previous suspicion was actually reasonable, but his changed thoughts were a little too outrageous.

Jingshan Palace, Naxida.

Should we doubt Him?

Already known all this but said nothing?

Rama was silent for a moment, with a rare expression of confusion on his face.

Does the truth have this value? Is it worth it for Him to do something that might make everyone unhappy?

Thinking about the best outcome, even if you really find King Daci Tree, nothing will change.

He still needs to collect the power and faith of the seven elements. The purest of the seven elements should be the seven dragons, but these dragons now need to rely on gods to contact them, and there is no news about some dragons at all.

In addition, there is faith. Neither Xumi nor He can support the subsequent storm caused by a real war to destroy the country. If you want the faith of a foreign country, staying silent is the best choice.

As long as you keep silent and forget some things that may not be important or may be known but cannot be changed, you can get so many benefits.

Giving up so many benefits and destroying some precious trust may leave you with no answers in the end.

After all, in Teyvat, the Riddler was restricted from speaking.

The pros and cons were so clear that even Rama hesitated.

He should decisively choose the part with the highest return, rather than hesitate here.

After a moment of silence, he looked away and flew towards Liyue.

In Liyue, the second-generation Rock God's opinions have been stirred up. He needs to come forward a little to let the people know his name and appearance, so that he can try to collect their beliefs.

Believers should always know who this god is so that they can use this identity to collect faith... This is a necessary process, but it does not have to be too real. After all, the wind god Barbatos preached by the West Wind Church is not the same as the real god. The difference between the wind god Barbatos is obvious to everyone.

If the gods do not intervene, the god that the people promote is actually the god they think they are.

Just like the villagers who sacrificed a little boy to Thunderbird on an isolated island, they saw Thunderbird's love for Aru, and then speculated and determined that Thunderbird must want to eat Aru.

Thunderbird can't understand it. If you want everything to go smoothly, I'll give it to you for Aru's sake. Is this how you repay me?

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