Genshin Impact: Start in the sea of ​​sand and reach the throne of God

Babel held the meeting as scheduled.

One slightly funny thing is that Rama, who proposed the idea of ​​controlling the desert and was also at the core of the discussion at the meeting, did not have the right to speak at the meeting.

The proposer and implementer of the plan needs to apply for approval from others, and he must wait for the elders to ask before he can speak.

Before they asked, Rama was not even qualified to speak.

Even if this is your plan, you are at the heart of it.

But that's the reality.

No wonder Babel laughed at Rama.

Among the entire tribe, although he has a reputation, it is not enough.

Reputation is a very valuable resource. It determines how many people are willing to pay at what price to support you when you want to do something.

The desert is a relatively simple environment.

You are either a warrior - you have shown your prowess in many hunts and are praised by your fellow tribesmen.

You are either a wise man - in many hunts, you have used your wisdom to cause greater casualties to the enemy and bring more benefits to the tribe.

In this way, your tribe will recognize your ability and crown you with a crown of glory based on your ability value.

Rama never participated in the hunt. In fact, he was initially adopted as a slave.

The tribe instills in them honor and devotion, but really just requires them to die for the tribe and be too embarrassed to ask for actual supplies.

As we all know, honor is something that can be paid for by the touch of a piece of paper and a person's upper and lower lips.

The core is small, rare and precious, it is valuable but the cost is very low.

You ask for honor without actual benefit, which is what the elders expect.

They are stingy about giving but expect you to give everything, so they wrap everyone up with honor.

This is also Babel's training path.

She showed her talent among many children, and then she became qualified to become a falcon - no, no, no, that's a bit wrong, why not put it in another way.

Among the many children who were trained, she was the only one who eventually became a falcon.

Regardless of whether you have talent or not, you must first undergo rigorous training.

The person who survives in the end is naturally gifted.

No talent?

Tribal orphans can choose other paths, while non-tribal children who are robbed or picked up for adoption can only end their lives early.

Babel was honored on the Falcon's path, but she took it too far, and the tribe had to grant her power.

Rama should have followed the same path.

But as he grew up, he chose to express his academic talents.

This was Rama's own choice.

When Rama discovered that a group of people who grew up at the same time as him were all educated with the purpose of training for bravery, he understood that he should be different.

The advantage of being different is that you can quickly gain attention among a group of people.

The result was indeed the same. He quickly gained the attention and training of the tribe. During a relatively long period of growth, he helped the tribe improve many technologies and made some useful props.

For example, looking for an oasis with abundant water and grass, improving the forging process of weapons, and more effective therapeutic drugs...

Compared with one or two warriors, the talent shown by Rama is naturally more important.

So naturally, like Babel, he was accepted as one of his own.

Scholars are more important than warriors, because Tanit is not a weak tribe and has many relatively outstanding warriors.

But they didn't have any scholars who could improve these technologies.

So Rama immediately broke away from his slave status and became a tribal desert man.

The improved technology naturally brought enough honor and reputation to Rama, and this reputation was very useful most of the time.

For example, Asalige, for example, the elders had to treat a sixteen-year-old boy in a friendly manner.

But war was another story.

Would you trust a sixteen-year-old boy with a reputation for making alchemical products or medicines in a war effort?

Do you believe that he can lead the tribe to victory and lead the tribe to plunder more resources and land?

The elders didn't believe it.

The person presiding over the war is either a brave general or a wise wise man.

But no matter what, he is not a scholar who studies mechanics.

This is too different.

"He concealed his strength. He had the Eye of God a long time ago, but he was unwilling to tell the tribe."

Tanit is a matrilineal clan that believes in the flower god, and the [nine elders] share the highest power of the tribe.

A certain elder had a stern voice and didn't care that Rama was right in front of him.

"This is disloyal to the tribe."

he questioned.

Babel did not make any cover-up. Rama told her that she had obtained the Eye of God a long time ago. She did not use lies to disguise it, but actually told the truth.

"Disloyal?" Babel raised her eyebrows, "But if I remember correctly, my children have brought a lot of benefits to the tribe, and these benefits are even more than what you have brought to the tribe."

"What did he do wrong that made you so suspicious of him, elder, and accused him of disloyalty?"

"Just because he had his little secret, he wasn't loyal enough to the tribe."

Babel's smile was sarcastic, "So among the elders who are doing this, who has put everything on the bright side?"

"But the Eye of God..."

He wanted to refute, but did not continue.

Some people regard the Eye of God as the crystallization of faith, but people in the desert see it more simply.

The Eye of God is just a useful weapon.

Since they are useful weapons, like longbows and double blades inhabited by Erlings... these are of course the property of the tribe.

Because the weapon means that you have to give everything for the tribe to make people feel at ease.

But Rama concealed the fact that he had the Eye of God. According to Babel, he had obtained the Eye of God earlier, but deliberately did not report it.

Hiding a weapon is certainly bad behavior.

However, the Eye of God is different from ordinary weapons after all. It is indeed the private property of a certain person and not the public property of the tribe. It would be unreasonable to punish Rama because he has the Eye of God but did not tell him about it. .

To be fair, Rama certainly had selfish motives in concealing the fact that he had divine eyes.

Every elder can see it, but just like Babel said, this cannot be used as evidence for punishment.

He did not obtain the Eye of God from the tribe's hunting and then took the tribe's property as his own.

This is what the gods have given to him alone.

Of course, people should have their own selfish motives. Even as tribal elders, it is impossible for you to contribute everything to the tribe.

When I was an ordinary tribal warrior, I wanted to contribute everything to the tribe. Now that I have become a tribal elder, I want to contribute everything to the tribe and leave nothing for myself.

So, didn’t I become this elder for nothing?
