The smile on Rama's face became gentler: "Please speak, Mr. Diluc. If it is cooperation, of course the partners should be relieved."
"I once got the alchemy potion you provided in the early days from Qin." Diluc went straight to the point. "Your works during that period and your works in Mondstadt seemed to go in two directions."
"This is not difficult to explain." Rama said slowly, "I did not completely deny the basic numerical values of human beings in the early days."
"Big nobles like Legenfend and Gunnhild should also have special secret medicines to polish their bodies, right?"
Rama's early research was actually a form of pure reinforcement.
"Indeed, there is." Kaiya said with a look of reminiscence on his face, "Mr. Rama is so frank, we can't hide it anymore."
What Rama was talking about was the experience of the God of Grass. He was talking about the shameful experience of the God of Grass. If the same thing were done in Mondstadt, the people of Mondstadt would kneel on the ground... Ah, it seems Nothing.
The higher-ups of the Knights all knew that Wendy was overturned by the executive officer of the Fools at the door of the church, but they didn't feel much shame because the god was insulted.
Although they had the idea of taking action, this matter had nothing to do with Wendy. Even if it was not a problem, if it were that ordinary person, the Knights would still be angry.
The main reason is that Wendy is too pretentious.
Everyone looked back and thought for a moment, and unanimously concluded that the reason why he was rolled over by a car must be because of himself.
There was no way to be angry, no way to feel any humiliation.
After all, this is Wendy, this is Mondstadt’s signature god.
Kaia's smile became more playful.
But this is a characteristic of Mondstadt. In other countries, Rama's attitude of being calm about the unlucky experiences of his own gods is a sign of great sincerity.
"I am not a child of the Legenfend family. I was just lucky enough to be appreciated by Lord Cripps, and then I became a member of the Legenfend clan." Kaia also started to thunder.
Diluc closed his eyes in silence.
"Later on, because of something, Diluc and I had a disagreement, and finally left the Legenfund family." Kaia said with a smile, "It's hard to show off these past experiences in front of you. But I did enjoy Legenfend’s family secret medicine.”
"These secret potions have almost the same effect as the alchemical potions you provided, but they are indeed different potions, thus perfectly circumventing the resistance on the secret potions."
Drink medicine and exercise... The function of this secret medicine is firstly to strengthen the human body, and secondly to repair the damage caused to the body during exercise.
But if you take too much of the same medicine, your body will develop natural resistance, making the secret medicine almost completely ineffective.
Besides, it's too expensive, just too expensive.
Rama's early research actually fell into this scope.
Just like the human body can explode with more powerful strength and speed through exercise, the alchemy potions of this period all serve this purpose.
But in the mid-term, Rama got information from the Fools, and he suddenly discovered that directly stealing the characteristics of other powerful beings seemed to be much better than simply focusing on the research direction of "strengthening the human body".
The only problem with this kind of research is that when people fuse with non-human beings, the usual result is death.
Kelai was a special case, and Rama had no intention of challenging his luck.
"This is my early research, to create an alchemical potion suitable for the human body, just like your family's secret medicine."
Rama seemed to have remembered something, and his smile became gentler: "But then I met my partner, [Master] Dadalia when I was in the desert."
"This is a good friend, as long as you can pay him what he wants, he will give you what you want."
"I obtained part of the research information on the Fools from his hands."
Rama looked at Diluc, and his words were meaningful: "Including part of the research on the evil eye, and also... information on human experiments on the little girl who created the Black Fire case in Mondstadt a few years ago."
Kaia smiled awkwardly.
Diluc glanced at him, with a rare smile on his face.
Although it's a bit sarcastic.
During the Black Fire case, Kaia deliberately defrauded Collet, intending to create an "I will kill you" atmosphere and then create opportunities for Amber to get close to Collet.
He never expected that Amber would kill Kelai instantly. He also wanted to create an opportunity for a "hero to save the beauty", but Kelai had already been captured by Amber at that time, so there was no need for him to add any extraneous details.
Faced with his pressing steps, the other party actually controlled part of the demon's power and calmly sought death.
To be honest, does this make sense?
When reviewing Kaia afterwards, she only saw Amber dragging Cole around the clock tower, and then looking back, this became the other person's "power of emotion", and he just suppressed the demonic power in his body.
In the alley, Kaia first oppressed Kelai, but Kelai failed to control the power of the demon. He was quickly counterattacked by the power, and then he wanted to crush Kaia.
The first half was in line with Kaia's plan, but the second half was incomprehensible to Kaia.
Kelai suddenly took control of his power and voluntarily gave up his defense, intending to die under Kaia's sword.
If someone hadn't come, Kaiya himself wouldn't know how it would end.
Is it "Hey, I really want to kick it out" and imitate Kizaru, or is it "Sorry, I recognized the wrong person"?
You continue to fight, but you suddenly lose control, and then you want to die... What should I do? Did I really kill you?
This old incident had its own embarrassments, but Kaia quickly forgot about the past - only Diluc knew about it anyway, and he wouldn't say much.
"So, you saw a simpler and more direct path, so you gave up your early research?" Kaiya pondered, "This is really..."
"There is no way." Rama said helplessly, "Since Mr. Kaiya knows about the Black Fire case, he should know about Kelai's situation at that time."
"A sick girl, a sickly girl who has not received formal training and training, and does not have the eyes of God."
"It's just such a girl, but she can almost massacre an army of fools in Mondlane."
He looked at Diluc: "No offense, I heard the story about Mr. Diluc leaving the Knights in anger."
"Before leaving, you had the family heritage of Legenfend, received training from the Knights, and also received the Eye of God."
"But at that age, is Mr. Diluc confident that he can do the same thing as Collet?"
Collet during the Blackfire Incident was even younger than Diluc who left Mondstadt.
"It can't be done." Diluc admitted straightforwardly, "When you mention this kind of problem, I will put myself in the position of a genius."
“If I couldn’t do it at that age, I don’t think anyone else could.”
Yes, of course there is.
Diluc's talent is very good, but Shen He, Dadalia, and even half-demon like Kujo Sora are not bad at all.
Take Dadalia, for example. His level and talent are among the best among his contemporaries. The only problem is that none of his opponents are of the same generation.
But of course Rama would not refute Diluc, he would just agree with Diluc's words and then support his own ideas.
"So you see, if we purely limit ourselves to the [human] path, we may have a future, but it is not enough."
"You still have the Eye of God," Rama said meaningfully, "But everyone knows that the Eye of God is a gift from the gods. What if the gods are not willing to give you this opportunity?"
Then you can only pray that you are a strong man of Elendlin's level, someone with such excellent physical condition that no one can succeed in the swordsmanship he created.
He doesn't have the Eye of God, but the rest of the Order does.
However, no other colleagues at the same time, including the successors of the Knights, could inherit the inheritance of West Wind swordsmanship.
The superiority of the conditions needs to be contrasted by others, and the failure of others highlights the excellence of Elendlin.
Objective talent always needs to be recognized. Geniuses like Elendlin, Diluc, and Shen He will always be in the minority.
Even they can only choose to obey their fate before the real disaster.
"Your malice towards the gods is a little too serious." Kaiya said with a sincere expression, "This may seem a bit superficial to me, but Mr. Rama has indeed gone through it."
It is usually the behavior of a fool to communicate with others in a superficial way, but it can also be used to express an attitude - I think my friendship with you is enough.
There won't be any problem with this.
Criticizing the gods actually won't cause any trouble. Usually even if the gods know about it, they will pretend that they don't know.
Don't care at all.
On the contrary, those who envelope the gods are the main force in the pursuit.
But there is no one else here, so there is no problem in talking about it.
"The Eye of God is a tool," Rama agreed with a smile and nodded. Sure enough, he was not talking about gods. "In objective fact, the human body does have its limits."
"But being able to use tools and accumulate wisdom are also our talents."
"I understand the human body as a weapon. The sharpness of a weapon is usually determined when it leaves the blacksmith's hands."
It seems that they are not just partners anymore.
Rama thought for a while and decided to continue the conversation.
If possible, he might be able to take away not just sugar, but Diluc, Kaia, and even the Knights of the West Wind.
Although it is not bringing back Xumi, there is still a high chance that it will become another testing ground.
Because Diluc and Kaia, and even Jean, they all crave power.
No matter how much Qin respects Wendy, it can only be said to be the teachings of Gunnhild and the Knights.
But in reality? In fact, she saw the beginning of the dragon disaster and saw Wendy being knocked over by an executive at the door of the church.
Based on Qin's philosophy, she would not resent the gods' inaction in these matters. This is not Qin's temperament.
She would only resent herself, why she didn't do better, and why she wasn't strong enough.
This is a good thing.
Resent yourself for being powerless and then look for ways to change.
This is something Jean cannot do.
Her various configurations are already very top-notch. As she goes up, she can only seek the power of gods or the abyss.
If the configuration cannot be improved, it will be very difficult to continue practicing hard with the current configuration.
Unfortunately, she has no access to any of these high configurations, so she can only maintain this level until the end of the story.
The story of Teyvat is a story between mortals and gods, but mortals are just people who experience stories, while gods are storytellers.
He talks about freedom, and you are a free person.
He talks about locking up the country, and you are the one who stays where you are.
"The human body is also a sword, and the actual value of the sword is completely determined the moment it leaves the hands of the craftsman."
"What kind of ore you choose and the craftsmanship of the craftsman who makes the sword determine the actual value of the sword."
"Of course, if the sword is lucky enough to be picked up by the God of Wind after it is cast, it can be sold for a higher price," Rama described calmly, "but this is not the actual value of the sword."
The function of a weapon is to kill people. It may gain added value due to the dignity and status of its owner, but this added value will not affect its main job.
The same is true for the human body.
"But it's not that swords can't be cast twice. The process you provide is the second and third refining and casting of the human body." Kaiya took a deep breath and smiled, "This concept is really interesting."
As expected of a human experimenter, in the eyes of Rama, human beings are a sword that has been forged from the furnace.
A person's physical qualifications are determined before birth, just like ores and other materials determine the upper limit of the sword.
The beating and tempering of the craftsman determines the actual effect of the sword.
The way they polish their bodies also determines how much potential they can unleash.
Diluc nodded slightly, "We already fully understand Mr. Rama's thoughts."
"To be honest, we never thought before we came that you could be so honest."
Rama's statement goes far enough.
He may not be ignorant of Abedo's position, and he can certainly guess that Abedo has backed up his research data.
In other words, Rama revealed all the research concepts and research materials.
This is a little too honest.
He was so frank that all Diluc's previous preparations were no longer enough.
Rama smiled and waited for Diluc's final response.
When he was backstabbed by a traitor to the Knights, Diluc chose to leave Mondstadt and travel to the North.
During this period, he escaped death many times, and eventually developed a rather cold personality.
But people's temperaments will change drastically due to what they encounter when they grow up, but they will also leave themselves with a certain kind of persistence for life because of the education they were exposed to when they were young.
Diluc received the most formal dual education of nobles and knights when he was a child. In addition, after the battles caused by the nobles in the early years of Mondstadt, most of the remaining nobles understood the true free will.
The education of Legenfund and the Knights supported Diluc in the first half of his life.
He has a high baseline and isn't very good at backstabbing allies.
The more sincerity Rama showed, the more integrity Diluc received would require from him in return.
After Diluc hesitated for a moment, he looked at the red and blue potions in the suitcase.
"Are there any specific differences between these potions?"
Always ask your doctor for advice before taking medication.
Rama heard a certain tendency, so he replied in a deep voice: "The basis of the current research is the two deception flowers of ice and fire, which can completely preserve the human body and gain the power of monsters."
Strictly speaking, the power of ice and fire to deceive flowers is not very powerful.
To ordinary people, these two kinds of bastards who can open shields and burrow into the ground are already dangerous monsters that can kill indiscriminately.
As for Diluc and Kaia, the basics of these two monsters are not enough. After all, they can even single-point fire and ice and carry elemental shields to kill these two monsters.
But the core of alchemical potions is to bless the characteristics of monsters based on the human body.
Putting aside the power of the God's Eye, Diluc could only rely on the Evil Eye.
In order to master the elemental power, humans always need to use some external force. However, the elemental power of monsters is innate. They can naturally master the elemental power without any external force.
Qiuqiu Shaman and Qiuqiu King in the wild are all able to master a considerable degree of elemental power.
Diluc opened the injection and inserted it decisively into his forearm.
Before Kaia on the side could stop him, Diluc had already completed the exchange of trust.
The cavalry captain stood up calmly, walked to the counter to get a bottle of fine wine, and stood behind Rama to ensure that he could not escape suddenly.
"This is also very sincere." Rama said with a smile, "I thought you would find other people to try it, and only after confirming that they will have no problems will you choose to take the alchemy potion."
His credibility is still there.
This is the importance of personality.
Of course you can be a capricious person, but you must make everyone believe that you will complete what you promised and let them get what they deserve.
This is the most basic thing.
It is okay to be capricious, but capriciousness cannot bring benefits. This is not acceptable.
In Rama's collaboration with Dadalya, he did sell out the fools many times.
But all this is based on the fact that he has fulfilled his promise.
This is necessary integrity.
If a person is capricious and never fulfills his promises while still holding a high position, even if such a person cannot be killed, others will not choose to believe any of his promises.
There is no need to bring your reputation to this level.
Rama may not really not want to do more, but the cost of doing some things is very high.
For example, at this moment, if Diluc really chose to take the alchemy potion rashly because of a sincere exchange, then he would naturally be a hopeless fool.
The truth was not the case. He considered Rama's reputation, weighed the pros and cons of deceiving himself in this matter, and finally found that he could go all out to show his trust.
Even if it doesn't work, there is Fengshen's cover on it, so you can give it a try.
