Foreign guests arrived in Xumi City.
A country is by no means an island and cannot be separated from its connections with other countries.
Rice wife is the last wish of the god and she is alone overseas. She does have this artificial condition and capital.
In addition, judging from the behavior of Yu Renzhong and Beidou, although Suo Guo caused trouble to ordinary people, the powerful people in the shogunate were not greatly affected.
At most, things that were originally cheaper have to be purchased at an additional expensive price.
But although wealth is not enough to talk about, if you look closely, they really don't care about spending more or less for their own desires.
Obviously, for them, entrepreneurship is the most expensive place to spend money. Generally, when the current situation is normal, doing nothing is the most stable way to make money.
This is Inazuma's unique environment, and the country has to be locked down based on the will of the gods.
Xumi does not have this condition, nor does he have this intention.
Regime change is a big deal.
Under normal circumstances, they will come to see if you have suffered serious losses during the replacement process. Once they determine that you are weak, the natural next step is to bite and divide.
However, Xumi is wise. Their idea should not be to confirm the strength, but to maintain the original terms of the transaction.
The terms established with the Jiaoling Yuan have become a thing of the past. Their relationship with the Jiaoling Yuan is not deep, at least they will not cross half the map to come to Xumi Hammer Rama.
The relationship is not deep, so Xumi has a new owner. It is enough for everyone to come and take a look, confirm their identities, and discuss cooperation.
As for the original Six Sages...no one cares about their life or death.
Rama received Mond's envoy alone.
He left the rest of the country's envoys to others, except for Mondstadt's envoy, who he personally received.
Of course this is not respect, it's because he wants to get something from the Mondlanders.
Lisa, who served as the messenger, discovered this and couldn't help but think about it a little more.
Rama's reputation is not very good. This is not Lisa's biased response because of her teacher Gyulesh's position. In Sumeru City, Rama's reputation is not very good either.
He is too cold.
People who came into contact with Rama thought that this man did not fit the normal image of a ruler because he was far away from everyone, had no allies and did not care about them.
He doesn't have any tender image to show to the world. You can only see his enthusiasm for war and killing.
[With Rama’s power, it might be possible to reverse public opinion, but he has no intention of doing so. 】
It was impossible for Rama not to know the information that even a foreign mission could find out.
Knowing but not taking action is an obvious attitude in itself.
[Such a person would personally receive an envoy? 】
Ask for something, give something.
If you want to ask for something, you have to be sincere.
Rama’s personal reception showed sincerity.
But what does he want from Mondstadt?
Lisa couldn't guess.
Except for the fools, no one wants to take a share in Xumi's chaos.
Similarly, it was impossible for Rama to interfere in Mondstadt's internal affairs in Sumeru, he couldn't do it.
"Lord Great Sage."
Lisa lost her former spontaneity.
Heqin can be more casual, but Mond still has this attitude when he is on a mission to a foreign country. This is not a loose personality, but ignorance.
"Ms. Lisa Mintz."
Rama spent a little time thinking about how to exchange greetings, and then in the blink of an eye he remembered that he was not a traveler, so there was no need to spend time on such issues.
Just go straight in.
"I remember that you once studied in the Teaching Academy for a period of time. Your teacher was Kyulesh and your junior brother was Seno."
"I don't know what you want to talk about when you come to Xumi, but you can talk to Seno personally about these issues later."
Rama looked at the plump witch lady and spoke calmly, "I will ensure that Seno becomes a sage. Kyulesh is in some trouble. He does not have a very important reputation, but I can recommend him to become a cardinal." Conference, if you need, you can also take Cyrus and some scholars back to Mondstadt.”
"So, what's the price?" Lisa suppressed her expression after being tempted.
Forget it about Sai Nuo. His junior fellow disciple is also in Xumi. It is impossible for him to betray Xumi's interests and befriend Mondstadt just for the sake of friendship with the same disciple.
But Cyrus... one of the reasons she came was to save Cyrus.
But when Rama said this, I always felt that his promotion of Sano and his release of Gulesh were just chips.
What did he want from himself and Mond in exchange for such a thing?
Lisa became interested.
"Let's talk about Cyrus first. He is an accomplice of the Six Sages. In theory, he should be executed together."
This kind of crime is not considered compilation. Azar and the others were Six Sages before they had any problems. As long as they are Sumeru scholars, it is impossible to bypass the Six Sages group.
This crime actually applies to all Sumeru scholars, it just depends on whether you want to pursue it or not.
If you pursue the case, anyone can use this crime, including Sano and Elhaysen.
One of them is a gale discipline official and the other is a secretary. It is not an exaggeration to say that they have contact with the Six Sages and are thus regarded as accomplices.
After all, it is impossible for them to have never worked for the will of the Six Sages during their tenure. A person is far from being so free.
As for saying that he has done meritorious deeds for his crimes...you can only be considered as having done meritorious services for his crimes if you agree with them.
If you don't admit it, you are just giving up. You just saw that the Six Sages were about to fall, so you backstabbed the Six Sages in advance to find a home.
You can say that he committed crimes and made meritorious deeds, or you can say that he double-dealed and betrayed the Six Sages. You can say it no matter what you say. Anyway, the people have been used up. Crossing the river and burning the bridge will not leave anything on Rama's reputation.
He had done this more than once.
How to explain an action depends entirely on how the person in power wants to explain it.
Lisa understood this behavior and therefore also understood Rama’s kindness and attitude.
They can get promotions and raises and live a good life, or they can immediately become traitors because of their relationship with the Six Sages and then be executed in court.
With the current working efficiency of the Xumi Agency, people can probably contact the Rebirth Hall to prepare for the ceremony before entering.
"I will not betray Mondstadt's interests for them." Lisa's expression hardly changed.
This is what should be considered in the question.
When Qin personally begged Cyrus and the others, their existence gained additional value because of Qin's request.
Anyone who is valuable is worth using. This is a very simple truth.
Lisa knew what the consequences of asking Qin to talk would be, but if she didn't make any efforts, the matter would be even more unreasonable.
"I know, but you are thinking too much. I did not mean to threaten you." Rama did mean this, but he did not say it himself. "I just want to say that although they have cooperated with the Six Sages, , but in the general environment of Xumi in the past, no scholar could avoid this level of relationship."
"It's a small thing."
Lisa looked a little embarrassed.
She really felt that Rama was threatening her, but the other party changed the topic without admitting it personally, which made her words seem particularly despicable.
"If this is the case, I would like to apologize for the malicious speculation I just made."
Lisa sighed.
Taking a stand too quickly.
What she said was obviously different from her actual feelings. She could say she didn't care about the death of these two people, but in fact she still didn't want this to happen.
With bias, attitude is a problem that will be exposed sooner or later.
Rama waved his hand, "Just apologizing is meaningless. Is there any actual compensation?"
Lisa's expression fell apart for a moment, and she couldn't hold back, feeling a little out of control.
The great sage extorted money in such a diplomatic situation, and she felt a little embarrassed when she said it.
Does he really not care about things like reputation?
"What do you want?" Lisa sighed, her expression returning to a smile.
"I heard that your country is in trouble now. A disaster called the Dragon Scourge is infesting Mondstadt."
Not surprisingly, the younger sister is about to be born.
Tevalin had already begun to do things at this time, but he had not yet made up his mind to attack Mondstadt City, otherwise Lisa would not have been able to go out at this time.
She herself is the rare fighting force of the Knights today, because Falga's expedition took away the elite of the Knights. The remaining Westwind Knights are relatively weak in ability and have to bear more responsibilities. Naturally, they are busy. But come.
Jean is busy, and so is Lisa.
"There is indeed this trouble." Lisa didn't hide it, "Why, do you want to support Mondstadt?"
"No, I am very interested in dragons." Rama waved his hand.
This was not an invisible topic, so he said it indifferently.
"You seem to have a deep connection with dragons in Mondstadt's history."
Tevarin, the poisonous dragon Durin, and the evil dragon Ursa.
Ursa is the most outrageous one.
It appeared in Vanessa's era, and the Mondlanders of that period had nothing to do with Usa. It was not until Vanessa got the help of Barbatos that she severely damaged Usa.
Later, it appeared again, and was repelled by Diluc's father, Cripps-driven Evil Eye, at a critical moment.
The follow-up should be that the seriously injured dragon was captured by the doctor. This feat became a powerful weapon for the doctor to threaten Mondstadt.
How should I put it, it's a bit difficult to stretch.
The evil eye is pretty strong, well, that's it.
Apart from the captured dragon, there are still the remains of the poisonous dragon Dulin on the land of Mondstadt, as well as the revolting Tvarin.
Both dragons are good subjects for study.
Especially with an alchemy master like Albedo.
Rama had always been very keen on Mondstadt.
"Life born from elements will turn into slimes when deposited, and crystal butterflies when rising; a few will turn into dangerous elemental monsters. Dragon-shaped elemental creatures are very rare and powerful, and can rival the demon gods of the past."
Rama recited a description.
As soon as he started talking, Lisa knew what he was going to say next.
"You want to study dragon-shaped beings and decipher the source of their power, right?"
Lisa didn't doubt the answer.
Rama was not the first to think so.
In the history of Xumi, most of the scholars did fight for the high status of scholars.
But there are also some scholars who are monsters driven by curiosity and knowledge.
Rama was not the first person to be so crazy.
"exactly."
There is a slight error, but the overall answer is this.
Rama looked enthusiastic, "There are limits to human abilities. I have learned one thing from my short life. The more you play tricks, the more you will find that there are limits to human abilities unless you surpass humans."
His expression was very sincere, but his words were very cold.
"So you don't want to be a human being?" Lisa sighed, "The price of excessive curiosity is very expensive."
She couldn't stop it.
Rama was not her disciple or anything like that, he was the great sage of Sumeru, and he was the great sage who used his tyranny to smash the original rule of the Order.
What he wants to do may only be stopped by gods.
"I know," Rama nodded in agreement, "I don't really crave power beyond humans, but..."
"Do you know the immortals of Liyue?"
Needless to say the rest.
Lifespan, strength... These are well-known things and there is no need to emphasize them deliberately.
Everyone knows that immortals and humans are two kinds of life forms, and the former is far more powerful than the latter.
So why are immortals better than mortals?
Strength lies in reincarnation.
This tone was decided upon at birth, and there is nothing to say.
"If they settle, they will turn into slimes, if they rise, they will turn into crystal butterflies; a few will turn into dangerous elemental monsters." Rama spoke calmly, "You see, they all know that this is something decided upon at birth."
"Slimes and crystal butterflies are destined not to become dangerous elemental monsters. The most dangerous elemental monster is obviously the dragon-shaped elemental life."
"What I want to do is not so much becoming a non-human being, but rather giving human beings a chance to no longer be weak."
The same thing would be better said in another way.
Lisa may not understand that these two statements of Rama are actually the same thing.
He wants to study the Wind Demon Dragon, and hopes to find a way to break through his life level from the Wind Demon Dragon.
But different rhetoric, the former is a research madman, the latter is a scholar worried about the future of mankind.
"You have the final say." Lisa did not argue. "If it is to help solve the dragon disaster, we shouldn't refuse."
Usually when you say this you mean to refuse.
"But this is Mondstadt's internal affairs after all. We are not without solutions to the problem and do not need other countries to lend a helping hand."
Lisa explained politely, "There is no need for the Great Sage to worry about it."
Whatever he wanted to do, it was better to do nothing.
Mondstadt was able to stay afloat in the past, and it can do so now.
After all, there is no need for a foreigner to provide any help.
Who knows if he will be like the doctor after helping, coercing favors and causing even greater trouble for Mondstadt.
"If that's the case, I would like to ask, are you still refusing to accept tourists from foreign countries?"
Rama inquired.
He needs a fairly legitimate name, but that doesn't mean that he won't do things without this name.
"Are you so interested in the Wind Demon Dragon?" Lisa was a little helpless, "But as far as I know, your relationship with the Fools doesn't seem to be good."
"Once you leave Sumeru and go to Mondstadt, after all, you are leaving your own base."
"What do you want Mond to do if something happens to you?"
Rama's position of power lies here.
If he died on the land of Mondstadt, no matter whether it had anything to do with the Mondstadt people or not, it would be a problem.
So why bother?
He may not be able to help you when he comes, but he can certainly cause you trouble when he goes.
"My relationship with the Fools is indeed very bad." Rama admittedly said, "Although we have another cooperation to do, we are actually ready to betray each other."
Red King’s Tomb and Eternal Oasis.
Although it is still being unearthed, Rama is convinced that the fools are ready to betray.
After all, this is the crowd of fools.
"Even so, you still have to go to Mondstadt."
Lisa sighed.
It seems like this is something that cannot be changed.
No matter what, the identity gap between the great sage and the librarian is still too obvious.
Even as Mondstadt's diplomatic envoy, Lisa could only persuade rather than dissuade.
If Rama insisted on having his own way, there was no way she could refuse.
"I have done some research on strengthening the human body." Rama gave the price, "If you have this intention, we may be able to reach a cooperation."
The key to solving the problem is Ying and Wendy. Only Ying can purify the toxins. Wendy is the key to Tevalin's life and death as a killer.
Otherwise, if this Dragon of the East Wind also serves as a follower of the Wind God, Mondstadt might really be removed from the map.
He does have such strength.
"An alchemical potion that strengthens the human body?" Lisa was slightly moved.
The matter is a foregone conclusion, of course she still has to fight for some benefits for Mond.
In Xumi City, she had already heard that Rama had opened the purchase of alchemy potions to ordinary people.
Almost all the Xumi people in Xumi City have completed the purchase. Because the price is really low and the results are good, it is very popular.
But this is only open to Sumeru people.
Lisa didn't doubt that this was a kind of human experiment, because the other party had already begun to spread in Xumi.
If there is really a problem, the God of Grass should be able to find it... It can't be that Xumi has changed its owner, and the God of Grass is still having problems, right?
That would be too miserable for Him.
As long as your heart is moved.
If Mond took action, it would be reasonable for him to take action on his own side.
But without this prerequisite, if you want to do something in Mondstadt, you must get the approval of the Knights of the West Wind.
After all, Barbatos is still alive and far from dead.
The lady can whip Wendy in front of His church and steal the heart of God, which is a privilege for fools.
But Rama should not be able to enjoy this level of preferential treatment.
Furthermore, the fools just wanted the heart of God, and Wendy obviously didn't care about that.
And what Rama wants is Tevarin, Wendy will still care about Tevarin.
