Before Naimeicui woke up, everyone temporarily stayed here at Parishanya.
Firstly, Parishanya himself is also very powerful and has been with Namicui all year round. He is considered a close confidant of Namicui. Secondly, Mauye Groot is also here at this time, contacting the monarchs of the elemental territories in various places. He himself is from the tidal realm of Rhine. One of the purposes.
After the two parties briefly introduced themselves, Parishanya said in a humming voice: "You arrived much faster than I thought."
Rhine: "Because the benefits move people's hearts."
Parishanya was stunned. He just found a random topic to break into the formal conversation. However, what he didn't expect was that Rhine started talking about the core of everything - interests.
The abundance of resources in the tidal realm is both the source of the prosperity of this realm and the reason why it is coveted.
Everything revolves around profit.
However, because this topic is relatively sensitive and involves more than just the Blue Forest Region, Parishanya doesn't want to touch it easily.
It didn't matter that he had talked to Angel before, because Angel couldn't represent the savage cave behind him. But now the real owner of the Savage Cave is here, and talking to him is a formal negotiation. Parishanya does not feel that in his own capacity, he is qualified to talk about interests on behalf of the entire tidal world.
But now, Rhine has directly opened this topic, and Parishanya cannot directly expose it. It can only look at Maoye Groot. Although Maoye Groot is not the strongest in the Blue Forest Region, it is the monarch of a region after all. From its status, it is obviously more qualified to talk to Rhine about this matter. topic.
Mauye Groot pondered for a moment: "So, you are also here for profit?"
"That's for sure." Although Rhine's expression was still polite and polite, his words were very direct.
"I thought you would talk about cooperation first when you come this time." Mauye Groot said.
"The purpose of cooperation is, after all, profit. It's about the wizard's benefit from the tidal world, and it's also about your elemental creatures' response to the pros and cons of your own situation." Rhine: "Instead of talking about some meaningless content now, in the end it's because of profit. If you fall out because of something inappropriate, it is better to peel off the hypocritical skin from the beginning and play with each other with the less pleasant core... At least, the connection due to interests is real. "
Rhine's words were a bit harsh, but the underlying truth could be understood by both Mauye Groot and Parishanya.
Perhaps the connection through emotion will be more pleasant to the ears, and operas also love to sing this kind of emotion. But in the real world, the connection of interests is often stronger than the emotional connection.
Mauye Groot hesitated and said: "I can understand what you mean, but does this need to be discussed with Lord Namitsui?"
"Of course, I will talk to Namitsui in the end." Rhine: "Before that, I also want to talk to you. As the elemental monarch, I want to know what your views are."
Mauye Groot: "I have expressed my views to Mr. Pat before, and I agree with his proposal. But now that Lord Namitsui is awake, some major decisions related to survival still require Lord Namitsui. Let’s make the final decision.”
Rhine smiled: "It seems that you don't understand what I mean. What I want to do is to get a glimpse of the wind direction of the entire tidal world from the perspective of His Highness Maoye."
As the elemental monarch of the Blue Forest Territory, Maoye Groot's opinions cannot represent the monarchs of other elemental territories, but at least they can detect some truths and bottom lines. This will allow Rhine to better grasp the size and limits of interest exchanges when talking with other elemental monarchs in the future.
Mauye Groot finally understood what Rhine was thinking, and he thought for a while: "Okay, let's talk."
The next time was a conversation between Rhine and Maule Groot.
Everyone else just listened quietly and thought carefully.
Their discussion started with Rhine questioning, asking about the pattern of the entire tidal world, in order to deduce the general trend. Finally, when the issue of cooperation came up, it was Rhein who was talking and Maule Groot who was listening.
The last part of the trilogy Angel created originally simply described "Future Possibilities of the Tidal Realm". But at that time, Angel was just a kind of idealistic speculation that he took for granted. On this basis, Rhine added more possibilities, from better to worse, all included together.
Use profit as a formula to describe the changes that different possibilities will bring to elemental creatures.
As for the elemental creatures themselves, what they need to consider is which possibility can benefit their own development without affecting the overall situation the least.
This includes "conquest management", "war confrontation", "guild system", "lord system", "company and management system"... various possibilities are included.
There is also a similar "subordinate control". The elemental territory becomes a subordinate agency of the wizard organization, which benefits a lot. The elemental creatures can get more knowledge to improve themselves, but it becomes a subordinate agency of the wizard, and there are many sacrifices for this. Also a lot.
If you pay, you will definitely gain. It's just a matter of how much you pay and how much you get.
The tidal world occupies the geographical advantage, and what the wizarding world needs is the people and people it possesses based on the geographical advantage.
During the presentation, Rhine showed extremely strong rational thinking and used an almost indifferent attitude to list various figures and show interests, gains and losses.
A lot of things don't sound right, but that's the reality.
In the end, Mauye Groot did not give a clear "possible" choice, but used his own understanding to analyze the choices that the monarchs of the major elemental territories might adopt.
What Rhine needs is not the immediate choice made by Maule Groot, but its final analysis.
Therefore, the conversation between the two parties can be regarded as having a relatively harmonious and perfect ending.
At the end of the conversation, Parishanya suddenly opened his mouth and let out a familiar strange laugh: "Tired, tired, tired~"
Laughter attracted everyone's attention.
After seeing everyone, including elemental creatures, looking at him, Parishanya said: "I very much agree with your point of view.
Behind these seemingly cold data, there may be real interests hidden, but it may also be lies made up by you. After all, this is the first time we are exposed to such content, and you also said that this is a possibility, and possibility represents uncertainty. "
"So, how can you make us believe that what you said is true or false?"
Parishanya's words made the atmosphere at the scene slightly stiffer, but Rhine was obviously very good at handling this situation. He said calmly: "What you raised is a very important issue."
Even if two different camps are tied to the same boat through the connection of interests, without a prerequisite, the two camps cannot develop together.
And this premise is - mutual trust.
This is also the key point raised by Parisanya.
No one knows whether the other party is telling the truth or a lie, especially the information between the two parties is obviously different. Rhine has mastered the knowledge passed down by mankind for countless generations, while the elemental creatures in the tidal world experienced the doomsday blow three thousand years ago. A lot of information has been lost. Even if it is not lost, elemental creatures are always limited to the ecological development of the tidal realm, and their understanding of the outside world is still like a frog in the well, and the sky they can see is no more than a sip.
The reason why Parishanya immediately raised this question was because it had met Mr. Feng before and learned from Mr. Feng how big the gap between elemental creatures and human civilization was. And human beings are a race full of rhetoric, prejudice, and greed.
The inequality of information will inevitably make the relatively stupid party full of doubts.
Because it cannot be trusted.
And this question is not only raised by Parishanya. When Rhine goes to any elemental territory, as long as there are wise men around, he will definitely raise this question.
Everyone's eyes were on Lain at this time, wanting to see how he would answer. Even Angel, who firmly believes that Rhine can handle everything, wants to know how he will solve this most basic mutual trust issue in the end.
Rhine did not disappoint everyone. He still said calmly: "I had already anticipated this before coming to the tidal world. Therefore, I went to see a friend of mine before arriving and asked him to borrow something. .”
After Rhine finished speaking, without seeing any movement from him, ripples slowly appeared in front of him.
The holy radiance suddenly fell from the sky.
It's like a miracle coming from heaven after a devout believer prays silently.
The radiance that filled his eyes finally turned into two extremely holy divine descendants, which landed in front of everyone.
After the flames disappeared, everyone finally saw clearly what was in front of Rhine.
That's a statue.
There are two figures in the statue, one is a priest who is about three meters tall, wearing a holy robe, closing his eyes and bowing his head to listen; the other is a curly-haired girl wearing a Lolita-like dress. The girl is luxuriously dressed and has every accessory on her body. Everything shows her nobility, but what is strange is that this girl is kneeling on the ground, eyes half closed, hands clasped on her chest, praying to the priest.
One stands and one kneels, one listens and the other talks.
It is obviously a simple statue, but it has a strong religious flavor.
When this statue was placed in front of them, it seemed that they were not in the dim and misty Lost Woods, but in the confessional of a church where a miracle had come.
But after taking a closer look, I felt a little weird. Because the taste of religion is often solemn and dull, but this statue is a little more cheerful and evil because of the girl's bright clothes and the cunningness of her half-closed eyes.
"This is..." Parishanya looked at Rhine in confusion. He could feel that this statue exuded a familiar aura, which it had sensed in Mr. Feng's body before.
"Have you ever heard of mysterious things?" Rhine said.
Parishanya's eyes flashed with astonishment: "You mean, this is a mysterious thing?"
Rhine nodded: "It seems you understand the mysterious thing? Yes, this is indeed a mysterious thing."
On the other side, Mauye Groot heard the concept of mysterious objects for the first time. Under Parishanya's explanation, his expression flashed with disbelief. Is there such a thing in the world?
Angel had already sensed a strong mysterious aura when the statue appeared, so he was not surprised that it was a mysterious thing.
However, he was curious, what was the function of this mysterious thing?
"Is this... the witch's confession?" After observing the statue carefully, Sanders seemed to have thought of something and softly spit out a name.
Rhine nodded: "That's right."
After finishing speaking, Lain turned to look at Angel again: "Didn't you just ask me where I was? I just went to find Youfan and borrowed this mysterious object."
"Resurrection Gospel" Juda, a powerful true wizard in the Magic Flute Monastery, is proficient in various life repair techniques. The technique he created - Juda's Kiss, is said to be able to restore vitality to the decayed body.
Youfan is also a well-known white wizard in the wizarding world of the Southern Region. He has a moral sense far beyond ordinary people.
Even among mortals, he is a philanthropist-level moral model.
Therefore, some mortals who hear his name are called the God of Light who walks in the mortal world. His holy name spreads even in the abyss.
However, his moral integrity often arouses suspicion. In addition, what they study intensively is the art of life. To put it bluntly, it is the study of life. This is a characteristic of the Karabit people.
Therefore, some people also doubt whether Yu Dao is a Karabite? The character of the Karabit people is often eccentric and full of anger, which is somewhat different from Yufan's holy style.
Therefore, Youdao is often at the forefront of the debate between black and white wizards. But after years of fighting, we still don’t know whether Judao is a Karabite or not, and whether his style is truly upright or whether he is hiding some ulterior secret.
"Are Resurgence Gospel and Lord Rhine good friends?" Angel asked curiously, because as far as he knew, Jufan hardly interacted with wizards outside the Magic Flute Monastery, which was why the outside world aroused various speculations.
Rhine nodded: "That's right."
After receiving confirmation from Rhine, Angel began to feel anxious and wanted to ask about the rumors about Youdao.
Rhine seemed to see Angel's thoughts and chuckled: "I don't dare to talk nonsense about Youdao. However, the news that is spreading is not necessarily false."
Although Rhine didn't reveal much, this sentence gave people a lot of imagination.
When Angel still wanted to ask, Rhine directly changed the subject: "Speaking of this mysterious object, its name was already mentioned by Sanders just now. It is called the Witch's Confession, and it belongs to Youdao."
"I borrowed it from Youyi because it will play a vital role in my subsequent work in the tidal world. Its existence can also answer the questions you asked before, Parishanya."
Parishanya was silent for a moment and said, "What is the function of this mysterious thing?"
Rhine: "Truth, it makes people tell the truth, the kind of truth that does not contain any metaphors and has almost no loopholes."
The truth that there are no loopholes to exploit? Parishanya looked at the statue suspiciously, not believing it.
Rhine doesn't explain much, because in many cases, experiencing it yourself is more intuitive than verbal explanation.
Rhine flicked his fingers at the statue, and he didn't know what mechanism was activated. The statue shone brightly, and the priest who lowered his head to listen began to chant a strange prayer. As he whispered in his ear, a light shield enveloped him. Everyone present.
"The Witch's Confession has been activated."
