Not many people knew the inside story of this conversation that took place in the Order House, including Nasida.
The Six Sages were wary of his abilities. As they were unable to attack with all their strength and did not want to affect other people, Nasida's detection ability was also limited.
He brought the news of this matter to Rama, with a somewhat sad look on his face.
"Isn't this what was expected? Why are you still looking sad?"
Rama asked casually.
The Apostolic Order's request for help was completely within the expected plan, but Nasida still seemed to have some concerns.
"The outcome has been determined, and getting involved in these uncertain factors is not a good thing after all." The young god sat on the swing, frowning slightly.
"You want to win faster?"
"War is not a good thing for ordinary people." Nasita looked at Rama, "If possible, I still hope to end the war as soon as possible."
"Continuing war is not a good thing for both sides. You want it to end as soon as possible, and I think so too."
Rama did not deny this statement.
When the cannon is fired, there is a thousand taels of gold.
Once a war begins, something is bound to be lost.
Of course, if you win, you will usually make some money.
But the current situation is that he and the Apostolic Council are fighting for the dominance of Xumi. In essence, the sand sea and the rain forest are both parts of Xumi. This is a pure civil war between them.
One party gains and the other loses, but in the overall situation, it is obviously Xumi who is losing.
This was not actually a dangerous situation. Rama was simply echoing Nasita's words.
Anyway, Teyvat does not have a mode of melee between countries. Even if you are weak, other countries will not think of fighting over you for colonial rule.
[This does not mean that there is no trouble in this world, and everything is peaceful, but...]
Rama's thoughts wandered.
The general environment of Teyvat is like this. It is peaceful on the surface, but there is trouble hidden in the dark.
He really couldn't get anxious.
Before Yingmei, the world was peaceful, but if you spent more time and wasted more resources, Xumi would still be Xumi, and no one else could occupy this land.
These are the laws and rules of Teyvat, and this land can only belong to the God of Grass.
But after Yingmei, the real trouble will affect a country, or even the entire continent.
And in the face of such a natural disaster, the little things you can save for ordinary people are of no use at all.
Survival and death have little to do with life itself. To put it bluntly, it can be said to have no relationship at all.
Whether you can survive or not has little to do with your efforts. It depends on the efforts of the gods and sisters above.
If they work hard, you can stay alive. If they can't bear it, you can only wait to die.
Nacida felt pity that the people's lives had become difficult due to the suffering of the war, but she did not know that in the foreseeable future, what she needed to consider for the people was not how to live a better life, but how to let these people survive. .
"Take a look at this document."
Rama pushed a document over casually.
Just appease this little god who has a lot on his mind. If he likes to work, it's not a big problem after all.
"Is this... the Holy Order's offer to the fools?"
Nasida looked at it once, her eyes widening subconsciously.
This document contains various conveniences provided by the Six Sages, the most direct one being the part about human experiments.
They are willing to provide the fools with a large number of desert people as experimental materials and ensure that this matter will not be exposed.
He has just brought the news of Azar's cooperation with the Fools, and Rama has already received Azar's offer.
"I'm very excited." Rama rubbed his eyebrows, "You also know that I am also studying technology, but some technologies have reached a certain level, and we can only work hard in this direction."
These results will eventually be directly applied to the human body. If humans are not used as experimental materials, it will be really troublesome to promote progress.
Rama also put human experiments on the agenda. He did not tell Nasita, but he had already chosen the ending for many old friends who he did not know yet, but were actually quite familiar with.
Make great contributions to the future of mankind.
Pretty good, isn't it?
"Don't you have any extra emotions?" Nasida pursed her lips, "They used the lives of the desert people as bargaining chips in exchange for the cooperation of the fools..."
"What kind of bargaining chip does the life and death of the desert people count?" Rama chuckled, "If I continue to put pressure on them, they can even cede the land of Sumeru and give up more things."
"After all, these losses are borne by the people of Xumi and Xumi itself."
"But those who sit in the position of rulers, their interests come first."
Nasida took a deep look at Rama and said, "Is this why you didn't believe Asfard at all when you communicated with him?"
"The [Thirty-Person Group] is a whole, but its interests do not represent the interests of the [Thirty-Person Group]'s top management."
Most of the time, the collective interests are aligned with the interests of the group’s top leaders.
When one is prosperous, both are prosperous; when one is lost, both are harmed.
But this is not absolute.
If Xumi is lost, it is lost. The Teaching Council... No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, six sages, as long as the interests of the six sages do not suffer too much loss, what price is there that they cannot afford to pay?
"You are so responsible, my great God of Grass."
Rama chuckled and said, "Between Sumeru's interests and your individual interests, you will definitely choose to sacrifice your individual interests instead of Sumeru's interests."
"But I have to tell you, this is not the norm for human choice."
He told a truth in a gentle voice, "I hope you believe in all the beautiful stories in the world and believe in truth, goodness and beauty."
"But please promise me something."
Nasida was silent for a moment and then said, "Go ahead."
"It cannot become the story itself." Rama looked serious, "Believe in all true, good and beautiful stories, but never become a party in the story."
"Ordinarily, your spirit of sacrifice and sense of responsibility are a good thing for me. After all, it means that your weaknesses are obvious, and I can use these to bind your will forever, just like the things I did in the past."
Nasita likes Rama very much?
No.
It's just that between the Order and Rama, Rama controls the fate of more ordinary people.
So Nasita could only choose Rama.
There is no resentment here.
Even though the Six Sages imprisoned Nasida, she still didn't have any hatred, let alone actual revenge.
The only mistake of the Six Sages was that they thought about the logic of gods according to normal people's thinking, so they did not dare to give Nasida any chance to do things.
If they were willing to believe Nacida, they would find that their past actions did not actually lead to disaster.
In terms of attitude, Nasida naturally preferred the Academy and the rainforest to the sand sea.
The sea of sand and Rama were His only path after having no choice at all.
Rama knew this all along.
He knew that Nasida was cooperating with him. On the surface, it seemed that he was giving in, but in fact, to the god, it was him who was giving in.
Because He has weaknesses.
He wanted many things, but He had nothing and could do nothing.
Rama is different.
He wants very little, almost all for himself.
He has no weaknesses, so Nacida will only lose.
"But I will not always bully children." Rama said with a smile, "It's time for you to learn to grow up, my god."
"Fools have chosen you." Nasida sighed softly.
"It's just eating both ends. It's the same behavior as [Legacy of the God King] and [Thirty-Man Group]."
Rama shrugged and spoke casually.
The Ecclesiastical Council must have guessed that the fools were cooperating with Rama.
But things can’t be stopped and changed just by knowing them. If knowing them is useful, what else can we do to take advantage of the overall situation?
"Dadalia handed me this quotation from the Holy Order. The messenger of the Fools told me that my attitude can determine their answer to this quotation."
“Agree, refuse, pretend to agree but actually betray allies.”
"Yes, everything is fine, as long as I am willing to accept their cooperation."
He chuckled and repeated, "As long as I want."
Interesting.
In Xumi, all the partners found by the teaching institute actually have other cooperation with him, and the degree of cooperation with him is more in-depth.
This is not due to personality charm or any other nonsense, it is simply that the situation is stronger than others.
What you can get by cooperating with the Order is the same as what you can get by cooperating with Rama.
On this basis, working with Rama requires less effort and has a higher probability of success. It is actually quite obvious.
Yes, everyone knows that you can get more things by working with colored pens.
This kind of thing must only give up the benefits when you encounter trouble. If you want to make more, you can only take huge risks.
Everyone knows the difficulty and benefits of providing help in times of need and icing on the cake. It is their own freedom to choose which path they want.
The Order is now an investment with high risks and high returns, especially when they choose to invite foreign aid, the fools will know that there is probably something wrong with the God of Grass.
The theocratic rule during this period was still stable, and the concept that gods were invincible had a wide market.
You have gods but you still need to hire foreign aid. Brother, please be more direct. Is there something wrong with your gods?
When they thought of this matter, the fools suddenly became interested.
They enthusiastically planned to use a more suitable reason to seize the heart of God.
The plan of the Fools does not require the executive to start from which country first. They just see where there is an opportunity and get the heart of God from that country first.
At the moment, Xumi is really a good opportunity.
Rama knew what the fools wanted.
If you can only barely take away the Heart of God, then of course all the plans of the Fools are centered on taking away the Heart of God, just like Dadalia chose to release Osayr in order to force Morax to show up.
Regardless of the cost, all atrocities must be rewarded.
When you can't get anything, it doesn't matter if you use rough means.
But as soon as they saw how bad the environment in Xumi was, their pursuit suddenly became more intense.
Not only must the Heart of God be taken away, but it must also be taken away in a reasonable and reasonable manner so that no one can have any unnecessary words about this matter.
In short, the conditions have improved and the style has begun.
"The Imperial Academy may not have guessed this possibility, but they have no cards left."
Rama did not sneer, but shook his head slightly, "The world is like this. If you give any hope to others instead of yourself, then you will be disappointed."
And disappointment is just the most insignificant of the many prices you have to pay.
"Of course, we are not omniscient and omnipotent gods. Sometimes we can only choose to trust others, which is helpless."
This is not education, nor is it reasoning, but Nasida understands this truth more deeply than ever.
The Order and Rama were playing a chess game, but they were betrayed repeatedly, and those who betrayed them repeatedly sought Rama for cooperation.
This wasn't any strategic effort, just a sheer difference in strength.
The [thirty-member group] saw who would win, and the fools saw who was likely to win.
None of them wanted to invest in losers, so they made the same choice together. The Order Council saw this possibility, but could only ignore it, hoping that its own chips could impress these people.
They really have nothing left and can only bet that their conditions are more attractive.
"What do you fools want to take from you?" Nasida asked softly.
There are only so many cards. The Order has played all the cards it can find, and all they have left is the ability to lie down and accept their fate.
Winning or losing is still important, but there is no suspense anymore.
"They are very interested in [Void] and want to take [Void] away for research." Rama said.
"This is not the truth. If it were just like this, the Six Sages could also give the same bargaining chip." Nasida shook her head, "They can definitely take things from the hands of the Order and then immediately turn around and leave without doing anything."
"Getting paid and not working, well, you have this kind of thinking, it seems like you have really grown."
Rama held his chin and spoke with a smile.
"It must be something that only you can give, otherwise they can cooperate with the Order Council and then directly take the things and leave Sumeru."
There will be costs for betraying the contract, one is a moral cost, and the other is a practical benefit cost.
There is no need to mention the former. Fools have no such thing.
As for the latter, it is hard to say whether there will be an institution like the Order Council in the future. Even if they betray the contract, the Six Sages will not be able to do anything against them.
If you want people to pay the price, you must at least have something in hand.
They are too busy to take care of themselves, and they are still talking about revenge or contracts. These are all useless things.
