Chapter 2316: The Witch's Confession
Before Naimeicui woke up, everyone temporarily stayed here at Parishanya.
Firstly, Parishanya himself is also very powerful and has been with Namicui all year round, so he is regarded as Namicui's confidant; secondly, Mauye Groot is also here at this time, contacting the monarchs of the elemental territories in various places, and he is also from the tidal realm of Rhineland. One of the purposes.
After the two parties briefly introduced themselves, Parishanya said in a humming voice: "You arrived much faster than I thought."
Rhine: "Because the benefits move people's hearts."
Parishanya was stunned. He just found a random topic to break into the formal conversation. However, what he didn't expect was that Rhine started talking about the core interests of everything.
The abundance of resources in the tidal realm is both the source of the prosperity of this realm and the reason why it is coveted.
Everything revolves around profit.
However, because this topic is relatively sensitive and involves more than just the Blue Forest, Parishanya doesn't want to touch it easily.
It didn't matter that he had talked to Angel before, because Angel couldn't represent the savage cave behind him. But now the real owner of the Savage Cave is here, and talking to him is a formal negotiation. Parishanya does not feel that in his own capacity, he is qualified to speak on behalf of the entire tidal world on topics of interest.
But now, Rhine has directly opened this topic, and Parishanya cannot directly expose it. It can only look at Maoye Groot. Although Maoye Groot is not the strongest in the Blue Forest Region, it is the monarch of a region after all. From its status, it is obviously more qualified to talk to Rhine about this matter. topic.
Mauye Groot pondered for a moment: "So, you are also here for profit?"
"That's for sure." Although Rhine's expression was still polite and polite, his words were very direct.
"I thought that when you came this time, you would talk about cooperation first." Mauye Groot said.
"The purpose of cooperation is, after all, profit. It's about the wizard's benefit from the tidal world, and it's also about your elemental creatures' response to the pros and cons of your own situation." Rhine: "Instead of talking about some meaningless content now, in the end it's because of profit. If you fall out because of something inappropriate, it is better to peel off the hypocritical skin from the beginning and play with each other with the less pleasant core... At least, the connection due to interests is real. "
Rhine's words were a bit harsh, but the underlying truth could be understood by both Mauye Groot and Parishanya.
Perhaps the connection through emotion will be more pleasant to the ears, and operas also love to sing this kind of emotion. But in the real world, the connection of interests is often stronger than the emotional connection.
Mauye Groot hesitated and said: "I can understand what you mean, but does this need to be discussed with Lord Namitsui?"
"Of course, I will talk to Namitsui in the end." Rhine: "Before that, I also want to talk to you. As the elemental monarch, I want to know what your views are."
Mauye Groot: "I have expressed my views to Mr. Pat before, and I agree with his proposal. But now that Lord Namitsui is awake, some important decisions related to survival still require Lord Namitsui. to make the final decision.”
Rhine smiled: "It seems you didn't understand what I meant. What I want to do is to get a glimpse of the wind direction of the entire tidal world from the perspective of His Highness Maoye."
As the elemental monarch of the Blue Forest Territory, Maoye Groot's opinions cannot represent the monarchs of other elemental territories, but they can at least reveal some truths and bottom lines. This will allow Rhine to better grasp the size and limits of interest exchanges when talking with other elemental monarchs in the future.
Mauye Groot finally understood what Rhine was thinking, and he thought for a moment: "Okay, let's talk."
The next time was a conversation between Rhine and Maule Groot.
Everyone else just listened quietly and thought carefully.
Their discussion started with Rhine questioning, asking about the pattern of the entire tidal world, in order to deduce the general trend. Finally, when the issue of cooperation came up, it was Rhein who was talking and Maule Groot who was listening.
The last part of Angel's original trilogy simply described "Future Possibilities of the Tidal Realm". But at that time, Angel was just a kind of idealistic speculation that he took for granted. On this basis, Rhine added more possibilities, from better to worse, all included together.
Use profit as a formula to describe the changes that different possibilities will bring to elemental creatures.
As for the elemental creatures themselves, what they need to consider is which possibility can benefit their own development without affecting the overall situation the least.
This includes "conquest management", "war confrontation", "guild system", "lord system", "company and management system"... various possibilities are included.
There is also a similar "subordinate control". The elemental territory becomes a subordinate agency of the wizard organization, which benefits a lot. The elemental creatures can get more knowledge to improve themselves, but it becomes a subordinate agency of the wizard, and there are many sacrifices for this. Also a lot.
If you pay, you will definitely gain. It's just a matter of how much you pay and how much you get.
The tidal world occupies the geographical advantage, and what the wizarding world needs is the people and people it possesses based on the geographical advantage.
During the presentation, Rhine showed extremely strong rational thinking and used an almost indifferent attitude to list various figures and show interests, gains and losses.
A lot of things don’t sound right, but that’s the reality.
In the end, Maoye Groot did not give a clear "possible" choice, but analyzed the choices that the monarchs of the major elemental territories might adopt one by one based on his own understanding.
And what Rhine needed was not Maoye Groot's immediate choice, but its final analysis.
Therefore, the conversation between the two parties ended in a relatively harmonious and perfect way.
At the end of the conversation, Palisanya suddenly opened his mouth and let out a familiar strange laugh: "Lei Lei Lei Lei~"
The laughter attracted everyone's attention.
Seeing that everyone, including the elemental creatures, were looking at him, Palisanya said, "I agree with your point of view.
These seemingly cold data may hide real interests, but they may also be lies you made up. After all, this is the first time we have come into contact with such content, and you also said that this is a possibility, and possibility represents uncertainty."
"So, how can you make us believe that what you said is true or false?"
Palisanya's words made the atmosphere on the scene slightly stiff, but Rhine was obviously very good at handling this situation. He said lightly, "What you raised is a very important question."
Even if the two different camps are tied to a boat through the connection of interests, if there is no premise, the two camps cannot develop together.
And this premise is mutual trust.
This is also the key point raised by Palisanya.
No one knows whether the other party is telling the truth or a lie, especially when the information of the two parties is obviously different. Rhine has mastered the knowledge passed down by humans for countless generations, and the elemental creatures in the tidal world have experienced the doomsday blow three thousand years ago, and a lot of information has been lost. Even if it is not lost, the elemental creatures are confined to the ecological development of the tidal world for many years, and their understanding of the outside world is still a frog in the well, and the sky they can see is only a mouthful of land.
The reason why Palisanya immediately raised this question is that it has seen Mr. Feng in the past and learned from him how big the gap between elemental creatures and human civilization is. And humans are a group full of rhetoric, prejudice, and greed.
Information inequality will inevitably make the relatively stupid party full of suspicion.
Because it cannot be trusted.
And this question is not only raised by Palisanya, Rhine will inevitably raise this question whenever he goes to any elemental territory, as long as there is a wise man next to him.
Everyone's eyes are on Rhine at this time, wanting to see how he will answer. Even Angel, who is convinced that Rhine can handle everything, wants to know how he will solve this most basic mutual trust problem in the end.
Rhine did not disappoint everyone. He said calmly, "I had anticipated this before I came to the Tide Realm. So, I went to see a friend of mine before I arrived and borrowed something from him."
After Rhine finished speaking, he did not move, and a ripple slowly appeared in front of him.
The holy light suddenly descended from the sky.
It was like a miracle from heaven after a devout believer prayed silently.
The light in the eyes finally turned into two holy and incomparable gods, falling in front of everyone.
When the light disappeared, everyone finally saw what was in front of Rhine.
It was a statue.
There were two figures in the statue, one was a priest about three meters tall, wearing a holy robe, closing his eyes and bowing his head to listen; the other was a curly-haired girl wearing a long dress similar to Lolita. The girl was dressed luxuriously, and every accessory on her body showed her nobility, but what was strange was that the girl was kneeling on the ground, half-closed her eyes, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and prayed to the priest.
One stood and the other knelt, one listened and the other confided.
It was a simple statue, but it had a strong religious flavor.
When the statue was placed in front of them, they seemed not to be in the dim and foggy Lost Forest, but in a confessional in a church where a miracle had descended.
But after careful perception, it felt a little weird. Because the taste of religion is often solemn and dull, but this statue has a bit more joy and evil because of the girl's bright clothes and the cunning half-closed eyes.
"This is..." Palisanya looked at Rhine in confusion. It could feel that the statue exuded a familiar breath, which it had sensed on Mr. Feng.
"Have you heard of mysterious things?" Rhine said.
Palysanya's eyes flashed with astonishment: "You mean, this is a mysterious object?"
Rhine nodded: "It seems that you understand mysterious objects? Yes, this is indeed a mysterious object."
On the other side, Maoye Groot heard the concept of mysterious objects for the first time. After Palysanya's explanation, his expression also flashed with disbelief. There is such a thing in the world?
When the statue appeared, Angel had already sensed the strong mysterious atmosphere, so he was not surprised that it was a mysterious object.
But, he was very curious, what is the function of this mysterious object?
"Is this... the confession of the witch?" After Sanders carefully observed the statue, he seemed to think of something and gently uttered a name.
Rhine nodded: "Yes."
After speaking, Rhine turned his head and looked at Angel again: "Didn't you ask me where I went just now? I went to find Youda and borrowed this mysterious object."
"Resurrection Gospel" Youda, a powerful true wizard of the Magic Flute Monastery, is proficient in various life repair techniques. The technique he created, Youda's Kiss, is said to restore vitality to a decayed body.
Youda is also a well-known white wizard in the southern wizard world, with a sense of morality far beyond that of ordinary people.
Even among mortals, he is a moral model at the level of a philanthropist.
Therefore, some mortals who have heard of his name call him the God of Light walking in the mortal world. His holy name has spread even in the abyss.
However, his sense of morality and behavior often arouse suspicion. In addition, he specializes in the art of life, which is the study of life, which is a characteristic of the Karabits.
Therefore, some people also doubt whether Youda is a Karabit? The character of the Karabits is often eccentric and full of hostility, which is somewhat different from Youda's holy style.
Therefore, Youda is often at the forefront of the debate between black and white wizards. But after years of arguing, it is still unknown whether Judah is a Karabite, whether his style is truly decent or whether he hides a secret.
"Are the Gospel of Resurrection and Lord Rhine good friends?" Angel asked curiously, because as far as he knew, Judah hardly interacted with wizards who were not from the Magic Flute Monastery, which was why there were speculations from the outside world.
Rhine nodded: "I guess so."
After getting Rhine's confirmation, Angel began to get excited and wanted to ask about the rumors about Judah.
Rhine seemed to see Angel's thoughts and chuckled: "I dare not talk nonsense about Judah. However, the news that is spreading like wildfire is not necessarily false."
Although Rhine did not reveal too much, this sentence gave people a lot of imagination.
When Angel was about to ask, Rhine changed the subject directly: "Let's talk about this mysterious object. Its name, as Sanders has just said, is called the Witch's Confession, and it belongs to Juda."
"I borrowed it from Juda because it is crucial to my future work in the Tide Realm. Its existence can also answer the question you asked before, Palisanya."
Palisanya was silent for a moment and said, "What is the function of this mysterious object?"
Rhine: "Truth, it will make people tell the truth, the kind of truth that does not contain any metaphors and has almost no loopholes to be exploited."
Truth without loopholes to be exploited? Palisanya looked at the statue suspiciously, somewhat unconvinced.
Rhine did not explain much, because many times, experiencing it yourself is more intuitive than verbal explanation.
Rhine flicked his fingers at the statue lightly, and he didn't know what mechanism was activated. The statue shone brightly, and the priest who bowed his head to listen began to chant a strange prayer. As he whispered in his ear, a light shield enveloped everyone present.
"The Witch's Confession has been activated."
