The core of the conversation with Albedo seemed to hit something in the alchemy master's mind, and he was a little unhappy.
Probably as he said, in terms of human experiments, the identities of bandits and ordinary citizens are actually similar.
If you do this kind of experiment too much, you will inevitably develop contempt for ordinary people, as if we are completely two different lives.
Rama doesn't have this idea yet, and to be honest, he doesn't think this is a key.
There is actually no correlation between the two kinds of life and the generation of contempt. If we have to talk about the level of life, isn't the gap between a demon like Morax bigger than that between a doctor and a human?
I didn't see Morax always pushing humans to the ground and rubbing them, and his words and deeds were always like "It's an honor for these mortals to sacrifice their lives for my experiment".
Of course, Rama suspended the experiment.
Not because of Abedo's sudden and incomprehensible emotions, but because he was out of money.
"This is not Sumeru. If you want to experiment, it will take time and effort to pack up various supplies."
Rama whispered to himself, "But I still need to stay here to study..."
Abedo will not give up teaching for this reason, but the issue of money and resources is also an objective fact.
"I need to find someone to cooperate with again... Let me think about it, it's quite a lot to find a Mondstadt in Mondrian."
"But can people who are dark enough be really found in Mondstadt..."
Rama mused.
If you want to find a powerful person who is accustomed to taking the blame in the dark, Mond certainly has it.
The brothers Diluc and Kaia are the best choices.
The former left the Knights, but is still active in the city of Mondstadt in his own way, and has a systematic intelligence system, controls Mondstadt's wine industry, and naturally has a large amount of mora and resources.
The latter is also highly valued in the Knights. Qin gave him a lot of power, and his abilities are also described in the plot.
It can be said that these brothers were completely delayed by Mond.
Mondstadt's free culture for thousands of years and the expeditionary force that Falgar took away prevented the two of them from fully utilizing their abilities.
After all, no matter what you want to do, when you find that you can't beat the opponent naturally, many things will be too difficult to do.
What's even worse is that as long as the opponent hits Mondstadt, you have to be involved in passive defense.
Because everyone knows that the Knights of the West Wind will definitely not be able to defeat them.
The church can't defeat it, and the fools can't defeat it... This is the end that no one can defeat.
The first thing Rama thought of was of course these two brothers.
At least in Mondstadt, Diluc is always the first choice for all kinds of cooperation. Even if it doesn't depend on strength but purely on character, Diluc can be regarded as a dark hero. He keeps his word and will not play tricks on contracts.
Qin is also a good person to work with, but as for her, it’s fine to just work together normally.
On the contrary, there are some not so good directions, so it is best to avoid Qin.
"But that said, the moral bottom line of the two of them seems to be quite high."
Rama murmured in a low voice, "But it's almost the same. My experiment was not concealed very well. Qin didn't even come to the door now. It seems that there is already an answer."
Of course Rama dared to do human experiments in Mondstadt because he thought that he would only use the treasure thieves and the fools for experiments, and then Qin would be grateful to him.
The reason he did this was that at worst he would pay compensation if he was caught, and then vow to never do such research in Mondstadt again.
The Knights couldn't do anything to him, a great sage. At best, they would use various means to send him back to Sumeru and ask for a batch of resources from the Six Sages.
When the time comes, I will go back to my hometown after learning alchemy, and continue to study there. It will only waste a little time, and the loss is completely within the controllable range.
The losses are only controllable, so we can take risks.
Qin hasn't come to her door yet, so maybe there's no risk anymore.
···Chenxi Winery···
Forest Ice and Fire Man...Kaia took a leave of absence and returned to the winery to visit her brother.
He would definitely not write this in the Knights' documents, but Qin, who criticized the fakes, probably thought so.
The relationship between the brothers was a little complicated, and it probably began to collapse after Cripps' death. Qin didn't know the inside story, and it was impossible to explore it.
But the relationship between the two of them is not completely broken, at least they still retain a certain degree of brotherhood.
At this moment, there are quite a few documents and photos on Diluc's desk.
"Human experiments again?" Kaiya picked up two of them casually, "Well, there's a bottom line. They're all treasure thieves and fools."
He looked at his silent brother and joked: "No wonder you are still in the mood to call me here. If there is an innocent person, you should come to visit now with a knife, right?"
"Qin doesn't even know now that you intercepted the information about the Knights." Diluc glanced at him, "Qin can't tolerate this kind of thing. To her, is it a treasure thief group or an ordinary person?" Everyone is the same.”
On the contrary, it was the Fools. Although she still couldn't stand the conflict not long ago, she was unlikely to stand up for the Fools.
This has nothing to do with weakness.
Qin certainly has the desire to kill fools.
But unless the torture is necessary to obtain information, she will probably only kill the other person and will not consider torture for no reason.
And human experimentation can indeed be understood as unwarranted torture.
"Ha, our new friend is the great sage of Sumeru. In addition, you have also seen that in order to save him, the God of Grass personally came to Mondstadt." Kaiya restrained his smile and whispered, "Really let Qin I know, but it’s actually not a good thing.”
"The identity of the Great Sage is already very difficult. Currently, there is no one in Mond who has the same status as him."
The status is not equal, and some words are quite troublesome.
"What's more, the God of Grass is really on his side."
Diluc's eyes were light and his expression was calm: "Rama has promoted many human experiments related research in Sumeru. The six sages of the previous generation were all his research materials."
"It is impossible for the God of Grass to know nothing about the information that we can all find."
This is not a secret, and Rama has never concealed his malice towards Azar and the others.
From any perspective, he had no reason or necessity to forgive Hazard.
He and Qin are of the same nature. Since one thing cannot be concealed, then they have done nothing, and the choice is obvious.
The God of Grass was informed but acquiesced, and Qin could not acquiesce, so she could only have the source of information cut off.
The Ice and Fire people looked at each other, with the same expression on their faces.
Brothers indeed.
"How come everyone has the support of gods? Our own gods habitually hide in wineries and drink wine?" Kaia scratched his hair.
Covering up the information given to Jean wasn't complicated.
The other party did not deliberately conceal it but did not publicize it everywhere, so it is enough to cut this part out of the Knights' information.
Moreover, Mondstadt's internal worries are more serious than external ones at the moment. After Amber was "punished" by Qin and temporarily suspended, Yora saw that her efforts were useless and immediately started to act. There are not many people in the Knights who directly deal with Qin.
No one directly contacted Qin, so the cover up on the newspaper was natural and relaxed.
In addition, the reconnaissance knight squad and the guerrilla squad have always been responsible for this kind of external reconnaissance work.
But the Scout Knight has ceased to exist in name only since Amber's grandfather left. The so-called team is actually only Amber.
The situation of the guerrilla team can only be said to be a perfect replica. Without Yura, the remaining team members have average abilities and cannot do any big work.
Why not reorganize the reconnaissance team after it existed in name only? This is something Qin and the others should consider. However, looking at the current situation, the force directly subordinate to Qin is already very weak.
Yora was from Qin's faction before, and no matter what she thought, Qin was the only one who would lend a helping hand to her.
None now.
If Lisa's problem can be solved, Qin will be completely eliminated.
But Kaia and Diluc didn't intend to go to this extent.
No one in the current Mondstadt can feel at ease. This is what will happen after the fact that the country is weak is revealed.
Furthermore, they originally recognized Qin's ability and character, so they would never choose to seize power with Qin at this time.
"I'm a little curious," Kaia suddenly said, "If we start civil strife in Mondstadt at this time, do you think Qin will compromise and then take out [Falga's Order] and designate you as the acting leader?"
"You have crossed the line." Diluc was unmoved.
Even if it was a joke, this sentence passed.
Moreover, he also looked down upon the position of leader of the Knights.
It's not a matter of power, it's just that the Knights of the West Wind have made it impossible for Diluc to raise any morale.
He protects Mondstadt not only because of his father, Cripps, but also because of his surname.
Legenfinder has received many divine favors and is also a well-known dignitary in Mondstadt.
This country, this country's god has never harmed Legenfinder, and naturally this family cannot betray Mondstadt.
Lawrence took the wrong path thousands of years ago.
They mistakenly believe that the freedom of Fengshen means not doing anything at all. Everyone has their own interpretation of freedom.
You are the god of wind, and you say you want everyone to pursue freedom, so do I also have the right to explain freedom?
This is my freedom!
But it's of no use.
Mond's freedom can obviously only be the freedom recognized by Barbatos.
Others have no right to explain freedom. When Lawrence wanted to fight for the final explanation of what "freedom" is, Fengshen didn't even bother to do it himself.
Lawrence was then hung up and beaten.
After the fall of Laurence and the League of Nobles, Legenfinder and Gunnhild benefited from this.
During the turmoil that year, they did not stop Lawrence, but they also did not participate.
With Vanessa and Wendy's temperament, as long as you don't participate, they won't pursue it.
What's more, after Vanessa started her career, these two nobles immediately switched to other families, not caring about the dignity of the nobles at all.
It's true that you don't care about face, but the choice is also correct.
Legenfund was a great nobleman of Mondstadt, and even the losses suffered by Cripps were blamed on the fools.
Diluc was very angry about the infiltration of the Knights, but it did not involve more people.
"Haha, just kidding." Kaia smiled and revealed, "Compared to you, I think everyone in Mondstadt supports Qin's rise to power."
"If the competitor were Qin, even I wouldn't choose you."
"I need your support?" Diluc glanced at him.
I really can't compete with Qin.
In theory, Mondstadt's dragon plague was a serious political disaster for the acting captain.
The Knights are on an expedition, and the acting leader is in charge of Mondstadt.
Of course, her failure was due to her helplessness and difficulties, but the result was that Mondstadt suffered the heaviest loss in five hundred years at the hands of Qin, and his face was rubbed against the ground by the cult.
The best choice at this time should be to invite Wendy out, and then spread the news that Fengshen has returned to Mondstadt, thereby calming people's hearts.
Otherwise, the acting leader would have had to take the blame and resign, or he would have become a criminal and been immediately involved.
But the current acting leader is Qin.
The people of Mondstadt's recognition of Qin was so high that most people thought that Qin had done her best.
Maybe the result is not pretty, but at least Qin should have a clear conscience.
When something goes wrong, the person who is most responsible is recognized by everyone and she has a clear conscience. But if things go badly, someone still has to take the blame.
Who is this person, or the scapegoat?
Some threw it to Falgar, who promoted the expedition, and some threw it to the Knights of the West Wind.
Of course, some people think this is Qin's fault, but these people are the least.
Kaia and Diluc are both capable of guiding the public opinion in Mondstadt, and of course the Knights are also capable.
Without guidance, who the people throw the pot to is essentially voting with their feet.
Qin is the least of the group. Obviously the people know that Qin is the friendliest leader to them.
Being friendly does not mean that it is the best choice. The king's talent requires more complex considerations. However, in this situation, neither Diluc nor Kaia can deny their support for Qin.
This is indeed a very qualified leader, and her only problem is not with herself, but with the country of Mondstadt.
When a country is weak, it will be difficult to stand up.
"It seems that we are back to this issue again," Kaia spread his hands, "We have to consider this for the fools, and we have to consider it carefully for this great sage."
The Fools are a very powerful organization, but the lady is just one of the executives, and she is not even qualified to represent the Fools.
The eighth seat... is too far back.
Rama is the great sage of Sumeru, and he is qualified to represent the entire Sumeru, not to mention that the God of Grass is willing to go to Mondstadt in person for him.
The gap in power and position between the two sides is quite large. Maybe [Ms.] can hang Rama up and beat him up, but in terms of power and position, Rama is still better.
A lady can only do things in a submissive manner, but if it were Rama, the situation would actually be the same.
"If fighting is a trouble, why not try another method, how about cooperation?"
Kaia looked at Diluc.
He himself doesn't have much emotion about human experiments.
But Diluc...it's hard to say.
Even brothers will take different paths due to their respective circumstances.
Diluc remained silent.
"According to the intelligence we can collect, Lord Rama should not be unable to cover up. Most of the time, he doesn't bother to cover up."
"Of course, this is Mondstadt, not his Sumeru."
Kaiya said with a smile: "If he has concerns, some of the information we can detect should be specially given to us by him."
The purpose of this part of the intelligence is certainly not to make them aware of the cruelty of human experimentation.
It may be cruel, but what Rama wants to show is the value that human experiments can bring.
"You already have a choice." Diluc raised his eyes.
"Lisa brought us some alchemy potions when she was on a mission to Xumi. Qin didn't reserve it for you, right?"
Kaia spread her hands.
"I thought you didn't dare to use it." The elder brother sneered.
"How come, this is the alchemy potion provided to the entire Sumeru people," Kaiya whispered, "He popularized this part of the alchemy potion provided to us to all the Sumeru people."
In the words of many Sumeru people, Rama is at most arbitrary, rather than stupid or cruel, because he has indeed brought substantial benefits to the Sumeru people.
Alchemy potions, modified alchemy props provided to ordinary people at low prices... These are all by-products of research, and can be applied to ordinary people's lives with a little effort.
Unfortunately, masters of alchemy do not usually pay attention to the lives of ordinary people.
As for ordinary alchemists, their level is usually only enough to support themselves.
"He can't use all Sumeru people as experimental materials, can he?" Kaiya joked, "If the god of experimental grass can tolerate this kind of experimental grass, what else can we do?"
"The master of alchemy only needs to slightly modify a sequence to turn the finished product into two completely different creations." Diluc nodded slightly, "But he really doesn't need to compete with Mond."
"The God of Wind must have concealed some information. He doesn't want to tell it, and we can't force him."
"But this news must contain the reasons for all the actions of the Fools."
It's a pity that he didn't know the inside story.
This is the reason for the actions of the Fools, the reason why they are in conflict with Mondstadt.
This kind of reason is not shared by Sumeru and Rama. There is no conflict of interest. This is not something Rama would do.
As for the alchemy potion, it is indeed effective.
What can be popularized to the public will usually be more in-depth with internal research, Diluc does not doubt this.
So, want to try to get in touch with Rama?
"We can't let Qin know about this, but we certainly won't be able to hide it from her for long." Diluc looked at Kaia, "In addition to the Knights, she is also Gunnhild's future master."
"So, let's finalize the matter before Qin knows about it. Let the great sage go home or simply hide underground temporarily. Qin won't know about it." Kaiya said with a smile.
A person like Rama who studies freely will be exposed sooner or later.
But moving underground and covering them up a little, it would be difficult for Qin to find them.
