Chapter 2450: Pearls and Rubble
Robin's interrogation exposed Sato Kazuma's problems, and even many problems of the main time travelers.
When a time traveler comes to a new world, should he accept the cultural education of the other world? Or should he be out of tune and not forget his original intention?
Of course, if Duran were to answer this question, he would definitely start from a practical and objective perspective. If his power is weak, he must adapt to the world. If his power is strong, he must let the world adapt to himself.
The interrogation room was quiet. Sato Kazuma was really helpless in the face of severe accusations. After all, as a stay-at-home, the most difficult thing to change is the view of others on oneself, and it is easiest to be labeled.
In his hometown, Sato Kazuma was labeled as a useless game otaku, but in the other world, he was labeled as a dangerous time traveler. I really want to tell the world that playing games is not equal to being a waste, nor is it equal to being a toy. It is even more incredible that a time traveler would threaten the world. How can a waste threaten the safety of the world?
It's really funny. I just traveled through time, but the evaluation is completely opposite. If we tell people on Earth that Sato Kazuma, a homeboy who scares himself to death, threatens the safety of the other world, I'm afraid it will be hilarious again. I'm afraid that people who are familiar with Kazuma will shake their heads and say it's incredible.
Kazuma's psychological activities are very active, but he really doesn't know how to overturn his accusations. After all, he is indeed a time traveler. Whether he admits it or not, it is impossible to change his identity. He will be persecuted easily. After all, identity is something that cannot be changed by oneself, just like skin color and bloodline. The identity of a time traveler is also natural. If it is discriminated against, then it is impossible to change people's minds no matter how much you talk.
"You have already determined that time travelers are bad people. It's useless for me to say anything. Just tell me what you want to do." Sato Kazuma also has a temper. At worst, he will die again. He can't stand being cowardly.
"He has a bad temper." Robin naturally knows that it is still a bit difficult for Sato Kazuma to harm the other world with his current strength, but as the last time traveler sent by the heaven, his performance directly affects the evaluation of the heaven by the people in the other world, so Kazuma's performance is very important.
In fact, it is very easy to deal with Kazuma. All you need to do is corrupt him. People like him are easily seduced. Sending a beautiful woman to use a beauty trap can make him happy. But this development does not meet the needs of the heavens or Duran.
The heavens naturally hope that the traversers can defeat the demon army and establish a heroic personality, while Duran naturally hopes that the people of the other world will recognize the harm of the traversers, and hope that they can unite against the heavens and reject the traversers from the heavens, or at least have the initiative to choose the traversers.
In similar other worlds, some worlds that accept traversers know the existence of traversers, and even the traversers themselves are a cultural symbol of the other world. When the traversers come to the other world, they will be warmly welcomed. Of course, the villagers will also ask the traversers to do some tasks. As long as the traversers complete them, they can greatly help the residents of the other world. The locals and traversers in this world are happy and harmonious, each needs what they need, the traversers are treated preferentially, and the residents also gain, which can be said to be a win-win situation.
The traversers are no longer the creators of troubles, but just the porters of ability, but the premise is to eliminate the middlemen and establish a direct channel between the other world and the traversers. Instead of letting the heaven transfer the contradictions of heaven, so that both the traverser and the other world are exploited.
Robin now has to guide the traverser well.
"You haven't answered my question yet. What would you do if you sacrificed yourself to save a country?" Robin continued to ask.
"I can't answer this question, but I think I will do my best. Even if I am a traverser, not all traversers are the same. I don't know the person who wrote the diary, but I am definitely different from him. At least I don't smoke." He Zhen drank some wine with low alcohol concentration. This was tried after crossing, but he never thought about smoking. As a home-based game otaku, he had no interest in cigarettes: "So I won't throw cigarette butts into the core because I'm drunk, causing the weapon to go berserk. And I don't think it's just the fault of the traverser. Although he is the one who made the weapon, it was the king of the magic empire who gave the order in the end. He wanted more powerful weapons, so the fall of the magic empire was just because they used the power they couldn't control." The traverser doesn't take the blame, and if he has to, it's all together.
After crossing so many worlds, he heard the familiar reason again, that is, whether humans should use power beyond their control. Robin would have considered it before, but now she has long scoffed at such questions: "Power that humans cannot control? I wonder how you define the limits of the word control. What exactly does uncontrollable power mean?" Robin wanted to ask clearly what power can be controlled and what power cannot be controlled.
The boy was stunned. There is no such concept of going to the bottom in the game. Isn't it assumed by default for those who have played the game? Very scary and very dangerous power is naturally uncontrollable, but how to describe it specifically? Kazuma said something wrong.
Robin continued: "Do you think humans control fire?"
"Of course, because of the control of fire, humans have civilization." The boy answered immediately.
"Really? If it is controlled, why does the fire occur?"
That's right. If the flames are really controlled, there shouldn't be any fires, so Kazuma continued: "If there is a fire, we can put it out with water. By the way, I think whether a power is controlled depends on whether we humans have mastered the method of restraining the power. I think humans have controlled fire because they can put it out with water."
"So you think we humans not only control fire, but also water? Then how do you explain floods and tsunamis?" Robin found that the boy was speechless now, so he continued: "According to your thinking, the prerequisite for whether a power is mastered is Do we have another power that can restrain it? Then it will form an infinite nesting doll cycle. To control fire, we must control water. To control water, we must control land. To control land, we need explosive firepower to change the terrain. To control explosive firepower, we need more powerful firefighting methods... Is this what you call control? Then according to your theory, the emergence of magic fortresses is inevitable and conforms to the law of human spiral development, because magic fortresses are also restraining certain dangers, such as war. With deterrent weapons, war can also be controlled within a small range, so building magic fortresses is a Reasonable request. It was the time traveler who turned a reasonable thing into a disaster. I want to ask, do people in your hometown do things so sloppily? "
The boy remembered a lot of things. People in his hometown did not do things as expected, but he had not given up yet: "Although fire and flood are harmful, the losses are limited, but water and fire have nurtured human beings, so the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. The power that outweighs the disadvantages can be controlled."
"That's a good statement. Then the power to stop human destruction must naturally have the level of destroying humans. Don't forget that civilizations destroyed by floods and fires also exist. Pompeii is Atlantis was swallowed by a volcano, and Atlantis was swallowed by a tsunami. The reason why fire and water have become symbols of nurturing mankind in your heart is just because all civilizations use water and fire, so there is the survivor effect. If all countries use magic fortresses, then magic fortresses will become an indispensable force for protecting world peace, and their status will be equal to that of fire and water. "Robin's logic is clear, telling the boy not to only care about results. Only caring about results is the survivor effect. In fact, survivors do not represent everything. Losers also have the qualities of survivors. However, the advantages of survivors may be the disadvantages of losers. This is the truth of the jewels of one and the rubble of another.
