A gift from an angel.
Before setting foot on the bridge, Rama had already met the attendants of Raigenfand.
They entered Mondstadt with Rama hiding their identities.
After all, the West Wind Knight at the door is not a decoration. Once he enters Mondstadt as Rama, he will definitely attract Qin's attention.
Moreover, he also had to free up his hands to see Qin once.
This is what a great sage should do.
Rama enjoys the gifts and power brought by his status, but he cannot avoid the responsibilities and obligations that this status should fulfill.
So Rama simply avoided Mondstadt's official power and only planned to contact Diluc.
"Good day, Mr. Diluc."
Rama spoke gently, "Long time no see, Mr. Kaiya."
He looked at the Ice and Fire Brothers, smiled and said, "I hope my visit didn't bring any trouble to you two."
Diluc glanced at the high platform. The bard above was still drinking, obviously not intending to interrupt the topic now.
"We still have to thank His Majesty the God of Grass for his help in what happened before," everyone habitually thanked each other. "Without His Majesty the God of Grass, I'm afraid Mondstadt would have to pay a heavier price."
"But we didn't give anything in return to the God of Grass, which is really shameful."
Rama's expression remained unchanged and he continued to chat with the brothers.
[This is to remind me that the reason for tolerating me is to repay God, so now everyone is clear? 】
Isn't that a waste of money?
Nasida would definitely not do anything with this kind of debt of gratitude, but she already had the favor, so it would be a pity not to use it.
Since you plan to repay this favor on me, then I will ask the lion to open his mouth.
The small talk is still for the sake of the topic.
After chatting with Rama for a while, Kaia's conversation was very sexual, but Diluc couldn't hold it any longer.
Back then, he was also a knight of the west wind who could sit in the conference room and listen to the knights of the west wind for hours, but since the incident with Cripps, Diluc chose to travel in the north.
The most common thing Diluc did during this period was to search for information about the Fools, and then go directly to the door to pursue more clues.
A person's experience determines his character. This travel experience made Diluc lose his superficial interest in most things. He preferred to go straight to the point and solve problems as soon as possible.
"Let's talk about the main topic, Your Excellency the Great Sage."
Diluc's expression became serious, "In the intelligence system of the Knights, we discovered that you seem to be conducting human experiments on people from the Foolish Group."
"In principle, many people died due to various accidents. The Knights can only say that they will do their best to investigate, but as an organization that manages Mondstadt, the Knights always need an answer."
This question is quite mild.
He was called Your Excellency the Great Sage, but he only mentioned the fools and did not provide any concrete evidence.
Of course everything is available, it just depends on whether you accept it or not after being given the favor.
You don’t have these things if you accept them. Whether you accept these things or not, you can put them on the table.
"In fact, these studies are all based on my personal desires." Rama explained frankly, "I want to become more powerful."
Kaia and Diluc suddenly became serious.
The sincere exchange had just begun, and Rama actually punched directly.
Did you carve the map on the dagger?
Rama pushed the suitcase at hand and put his true sincerity on the table.
Kaia glanced at Diluc, then reached out first and opened the suitcase.
"Is it an alchemy potion?" Kaiya said calmly, "Although I understand your desire to become stronger, after all, everyone wants to become stronger."
As if he remembered something, he had an embarrassed smile on his face: "For example, Mondstadt right now, outsiders may not know the inside story, but you are one of Mondstadt's own, and of course you also know what happened to Mondstadt during the dragon disaster. humiliation."
"We all want to become stronger, and it is natural for you to want to become stronger."
Of course it's one of our own.
Just for the God of Grass to come to the rescue personally, no matter how hard you calculate, you have to repay the debt clearly.
Besides, Abedo is not really mute.
Keli is still living in the Knights, and Abedo knows how to make good friends with the Knights.
If Rama's research makes progress, he will also notify Kaiya.
We can only inform Kaia.
If Jean knew, then Kaia decided that Jean should know.
If Qin didn't know, she told Kaia when asked later, but she didn't expect that he actually deceived Qin.
I am an alchemist, and I have done everything I should do. I did not think that your own internal chaos has anything to do with me.
Abedo's intelligence is the key to stabilizing the ice and fire brothers.
Of course they could see why Rama's extravagant character test was for this purpose.
Finding good guys and bad guys in the treasure-stealing group is more than unnecessary!
But even this superfluous method showed Rama's goodwill.
On the other hand, Rama can also tell what the brothers have done from the fact that Qin has not kicked open his laboratory door.
It's a good attitude to know what you've done but not do anything about it, just keep silent.
Very few secrets are completely hidden. Everyone exchanges the things they have with each other tacitly. This is something that can be done without any communication at all.
Kaia announced Rama's identity, and Diluc remained silent and did not refute.
The bard on the high building put down his wine glass and looked out the window in deep thought.
"But human beings are naturally weak." Rama's words suddenly became heavier. "I once relied on the Tanit tribe to survive in the vast sea of sand."
“Throughout my childhood and adolescence, I repeatedly witnessed the powerlessness of humans in the sea of sand.”
It's not that heavy.
There is no god in the desert, but the desert people are not completely unable to survive.
What's more, given the situation at that time, the biggest enemy was actually Sumeru, who was under the control of the Order Council.
Diluc's face was expressionless, and Kaia lamented Rama's "tragic" experience.
Ah, yes, yes, your childhood was really miserable.
No one believes this.
But the other part is what they believe, that humans are naturally weak.
The poet on the tall building sighed, his fingertips entangled with the slight breeze.
"If we put aside the Eye of God, we will not be able to control the elemental power."
"In the history of Mondstadt, there is indeed a genius who has no eye of God at all, but still became the leader of the Knights." Rama said in a deep voice, "But you and I both know that geniuses are always in the minority."
"[Lion of Light] Elendrin." Diluc whispered.
"In the legend, there are two forms of West Wind swordsmanship. One is the swordsmanship preserved by the Knights today and inherited from [Young Wolf] Rustan."
It is characterized by lightness, speed and precision.
According to legend, Rustan can cut down the falling rain one by one, and the wind generated by dancing with his sword can cut off roses and extinguish torches.
"On the opposite side of Rustan, Elendlin's West Wind swordsmanship was lost, because this swordsmanship required too much strength and could only be used by those with extremely strong talents, so it gradually disappeared into history. "
Rama lowered his eyes.
If Elendlin's swordsmanship was really lost due to this reason, it means that his swordsmanship level is too high and his natural strength is too strong.
Only in this way can we explain why there are no successors.
According to Mondstadt's own records, this Lion of Light indeed does not have the Eye of God. In other words, he really achieved the glorious record in Mondstadt's history purely by his own strength.
If the people of Mondstadt were all tough men like Elendrin, there wouldn't be much to say.
Not to mention the "little fun" of today's fools, on the day Du Lin attacked five hundred years ago, Du Lin would have received two slaps.
Unfortunately, Elendlin and Rustan were also unique geniuses during the Black Disaster five hundred years ago.
The standard of genius was not aimed at Mond, but that they were all considered top geniuses on the continent at that time.
Kaia and Diluc understood the core of Rama's rhetoric in an instant.
Humanity is not without heroes who can transcend racial restrictions and fight against powerful monsters across races.
But it would be uninteresting to always use special cases to confront the prevailing reality.
Kaia's lips were dry.
Rama's goal was clear.
What he had done in Sumeru, combined with the experimental subjects they had deliberately exposed to them, it was almost clear what Rama wanted to do.
He gave up.
If human talents are limited, then take everything from those creatures with higher talents.
Rama surrendered. He did not seek an explanation from anyone. Instead, he represented mankind and recognized the basic advantages of the more powerful races in Teyvat - strong physical fitness, easier to control, and larger. The elemental power... is, I admit it, you are stronger in these aspects.
But accepting defeat is not accepting fate.
After Rama admitted the shortcomings of the human body, he immediately planned to take away the characteristics of other powerful races and in turn strengthen the human body... Even after seeing the experimental records, Kaiya found it difficult to agree whether these people could still be regarded as pure humans.
But now is indeed a good opportunity.
After being targeted by the Order and the Fools one after another, Mondstadt is now in an unusual trend of pursuing power.
These free Mondstadt people discovered that neither the Wind God nor the Knights could completely protect them. Most people cursed twice and put their efforts to tomorrow, while a few people directly chose to start working hard immediately.
Living is always a high-level driving force. When survival is threatened, the Mondstadt people will cheer up a little, even though it is of no use anymore.
Regardless of whether we work hard today or tomorrow, the trend in Mondstadt is already a little more martial.
"[Lion of Light] Elendlin... A genius like this is indeed rare to see in a hundred years." Diluc took a deep breath, "He has the ability to change destiny on a small scale, but on a large scale On the other hand, the people of Mondstadt can still only rely on the gods."
As for more ordinary people, they have no ability to change their destiny and can only accept the arrangement of fate in silence.
"You are too pessimistic, Mr. Diluc." Rama smiled and shook his head.
Change destiny on a small scale and accept destiny's arrangements on a large scale.
This is not a problem with Elendlin. If you really want to say it, the entire environment of Teyvat is like this.
The retirement battle that Zhongli arranged for himself, the Seven Stars fought to the end, and the only means that could be used to restrain the immortals was Liyue Port.
They want to bet that the immortal will take pity on the ordinary Liyue people and will not kill them.
What Qixing wants to do during this period is to kick the immortals out of Liyue Port so that they no longer have any possibility of threatening Qixing's rule.
Of course, we can put it in a more appropriate way: they follow the will of Morax and want to establish a human-ruled system that is completely ruled by humans without the help of immortal power.
The tragedy is that the Seven Stars' confidence in maintaining human rule is not their own strength, but that the immortals will actively choose to compromise.
Just like a war, your certainty of victory is not based on your own strength or the weakness of your enemy, but rather on the fact that you are determined to defeat the opponent and cannot bear to kill ordinary people. The opponent will obey the king's order and finally choose to compromise.
Your confidence is the enemy's weakness.
To be honest, this kind of thing is considered a rather funny direction in the story.
But Qixing succeeded.
It can be seen that reality is sometimes more absurd than stories.
This is the norm in Teyvat.
Freedom, the rule of man...all these are predicated on the will of God.
Barbatos and Morax were willing to let go, so it was freedom and rule by men.
But what if they have their own plans and ideas to execute?
Winter is ruled by the God of Ice, and Rice Wife is ruled by the God of Thunder. This is the truth of the world.
This topic is easily skipped.
Everyone looked at each other on the table, Kaiya stretched out his hand to push the wine glass over, Ramaxin picked it up and drank it happily, so the discussion about gods came to an end.
The alchemy potion that had no shadow suddenly jumped to the god, but this was Teyvat.
If you want to be a god, you can never circumvent the gods.
"Although there are only a few people like the [Lion of Light], with the blessing of the gods, we are still the masters of this world." Rama smiled brightly, "You are too pessimistic, Mr. Diluc."
"We are the seven mortal nations, the true masters of Teyvat."
Kaia looked strange.
It's the blessing of gods, and it's the true master... This kind of rhetoric is too contradictory.
Rama's trust in gods does not seem to be very high.
But the God of Grass came to Mondstadt specifically to save him, so it’s not that he didn’t trust the God of Grass, he was naturally full of fear of being weak.
Then this is really a pure person, because he doesn't like weak people, so he will try any path.
"Of course, we can't rely too much on the gods." Rama shrugged, "Whether it is the gods of Mondstadt or the gods of Sumeru, they have given us too much trust and expectations."
"It is precisely because of this that we need to grow up as quickly as possible."
Nasida had to look forward to it.
Wendy took the initiative to give freedom.
The reason is no longer important, what is important is the current situation.
Diluc lowered his voice: "I have a presumptuous question. Is the God of Grass in your country a little too young?"
The demon's external appearance is almost similar to that of a human being, and the too young form is almost proof that Nasida is not powerful enough.
"It's a bit hard to say, but we are already partners. This is not information that must be concealed." Rama was silent for a moment.
His eyes fell on the suitcase and he quickly glanced at it.
These people will soon join his experiment, and Azar and the others will die cleanly, so there is no need to keep this secret.
"This history is a little bit... humiliating."
Rama said softly: "Five hundred years ago, the God of Grass lost his power due to some disaster."
Rama checked the revised history, and Brother Tongzi saved him from losing his memory in such a large-scale revision.
He knew how history was recorded and described it according to their records.
"After that, the six sages welcomed the gods back, but discovered the fact that the gods were weak."
"Under normal circumstances, they would become the auxiliary ministers of the god when he was young, helping the god to grow up as quickly as possible and accept the power that he should accept."
"But that's not the case."
Rama fell silent at the right time.
This silence and "however" have revealed the answer. The group of people who should assist the gods have obviously embarked on the path of hostility to the gods.
However, Rama's success and the Grass God's support are only recent events. In other words, the six sages of the past have suppressed the gods for a total of... five hundred years?
This group of people actually succeeded in suppressing the gods for five hundred years? !
"The God of Grass is a benevolent and wise god, but in terms of strength, I don't want to cause him too much trouble." Rama took a deep breath, "Maybe we should try to rely on ourselves."
"But you also said that humans are naturally weaker than these special beings in terms of power." Kaia was a good compliment.
"So, this is the result of my recent research." Rama said with a happy smile on his face.
Although he didn't feel that this success was worth talking about, in front of the transaction partner, you always have to show a little more emotion for your results, even if it's just pretending.
This way, they will feel more at ease when paying.
"The initial experiments had quite a few drawbacks. Alchemy potions would always leave certain abnormal changes in the volunteers who underwent the experiments."
"Fortunately, with the help of Teacher Abedo and Miss Sugar, the experiment quickly made breakthrough progress."
"And now we have the final product."
Rama smiled and promoted his work, "An alchemical potion that can almost perfectly obtain the talent of monsters, but completely retains the normal appearance of the human body."
It just looks stable on the outside.
The talent of monsters also relies on certain special structures inside the body that are different from the human body.
If you want to obtain the other person's talent, you will inevitably move closer to the other person's body structure.
After Diluc was silent for a moment, he suddenly said: "Although the effect of the alchemical potion has not been verified, if it is the work of Lord Rama, Legenfund is willing to invest."
"But I have a little problem."
