Chapter 194 Sarah's Methodology
At the same time, on the cliff at the top of Mount Begong, there is the Ba Ru Temple.
Sarah at this moment looked a little different from before.
Her figure was still petite and her skin was still fair and smooth, which was very different from the Baru priests who were all bodybuilding champions.
But her exposed skin had several tentacles and wavy lines in the style of the Baju people, circling from her arms to her shoulders. The lines also emitted a faint green fluorescence in the dim light due to some strange energy.
Sarah tried to pick up the twin guns her mother had left her.
Then the lines on her arms seemed to come alive, condensing into thick spiritual tentacles in the blooming light.
The tentacle wrapped around Sarah's arms, and gave the double guns in her hands, and even the bullets in her gun chambers, a mysterious energy that glowed with divine light.
"So beautiful..." Sarah performed a beautiful gun dance, admiring the beautiful sight of the divine light floating and dissipating at the muzzle of the gun.
Then she put away the gun and the powerful power she had just gained.
Then he turned around and gave a charming smile: "Illaoi, we should be friends now."
"Yeah." Illaoi nodded solemnly.
The power Sarah gained was a gift from the Snake Mother to her, and even more so a gift from the Snake Mother to the wind of change.
Nagakabouros expressed her attitude towards the Wind Leader through her actions.
"My Lord has recognized you."
The Wind Leader's dialectical materialist view of motion not only perfectly conforms to the true meaning of Nagakabouros, but is even more systematic and complete than the view of motion understood by the Baru people.
So, the Snake Mother recognized the Wind of Change and gladly gifted Sarah with Her power.
Illaoi knew that this was all the Snake Mother's intention.
So, she took the initiative to extend her strong and powerful arms to Sarah: "From now on, we will not only be friends, but also..."
"Comrade," Sarah said something new. She also shook Illaoi's hand firmly.
Then Illaoi said, “As we agreed before, from now on, we will allow the Wind Leader to operate in Bilgewater.”
Having said this, Sarah’s mission for this trip has been accomplished.
Because all Levi asked of her was to convince the Baru people to stand neutral and not help either side in the future fight between the Leader and Planck. Now she has done it.
But Sarah was not satisfied.
With the gift from the Snake Mother and the recognition of the Wind Leader theory, she believed she could talk more in this interview:
"Illaoi, whether we are Baru or leaders, we are all practitioners of the true meaning of sports."
“I believe that as comrades, our cooperation can go beyond just peaceful coexistence.”
Illaoi frowned slightly.
She could understand what Sarah meant: "Are you asking us to help you defeat Gangplank?"
"Yes." Sarah nodded.
She wanted to completely pull the Baru people to the side of the leader. In this way, the balance of power in Porto would be completely broken.
Planck was not far from death.
"Well..." Illaoi had a subtle expression.
There was even a hint of feminine hesitation on her majestic face with a leopard head and round eyes.
"Uh...wait..." Sarah felt something was wrong.
She suddenly thought of something.
There has always been gossip in Pike that when Gangplank was young, he had a love affair with the Illaoi priest of the Baru Temple...
She didn't believe it at first, and she didn't believe it even more after seeing Illaoi in person.
And now...
"Hey, hey..." Could it be that Gangplank was really having an affair with this priestess who was stronger than him? ?
“I can’t help.” As expected, Illaoi refused.
But the reason was not personal feelings, but: "Maybe to the leader, Planck is a bad guy."
"But for us Baru people, what Planck did is actually very consistent with the true meaning of the Snake Mother's movement."
The Baju people believe that war is the father and king of all things. Without struggle and opposition, the world will stagnate and perish.
Therefore, war machines like Noxus and murderous devils like Gangplank are actually "movement activists" recognized by the Baru people.
After all, the true meaning of Nagakabouros is sports.
The movement itself does not distinguish between good and evil.
"But movements are divided into upward and backward, developing and stagnant," Sarah retorted sharply.
"Illaoi, you should know that everything changes and everything flows."
“Of course.” Illaoi nodded.
Of course she knew that everything changes is the core of the true meaning of movement.
"Since everything is changing, how do everything change? What is the general trend of all things' changes?" Sarah asked again.
"This..." Illaoi lowered her head and thought.
Nagakabouros represents the concept of movement and is also a deity with a complete doctrine.
But He would never be like Gana, who wrote down His teachings clearly on paper, explained the true meaning of the movement in plain language, or even sent propagandists, held propaganda meetings, and distributed propaganda materials to teach these theories to believers step by step.
He hopes that believers can understand and comprehend the true meaning of the movement, and use this as a screening criterion to find the true ones who can truly represent His will among mortals.
Therefore, due to the lack of authoritative and detailed explanation, the teachings of the Baru people appear very obscure and difficult to understand.
Not to mention that outsiders are confused, even many Baru people, even Baru priests, have a very superficial understanding of the movement.
Just like now...
They only know that everything is flowing, but they rarely think about and summarize where everything is flowing .
What is the general trend in which things are moving and changing?
In other words, is there such a big trend? Can it be summarized?
“Yes,” Sarah told Illaoi solemnly, “In our Wind Leader’s theory of motion:”
“The world is universally connected and eternally evolving.”
Development is a kind of movement, a forward and upward movement.
Things are in eternal development, which means that everything is constantly advancing and rising.
It’s just that this “rise” is not straight up into the sky, but rather tortuous and spiral.
“The development of a thing is often a process of advancing in waves and rising in a spiral.”
"And finite processes make up the world of infinite development. In other words, the world can also be seen as a collection of eternally developing 'processes'."
Sarah's theories made Ornn fall into deep thought.
With the systematic theories of the leader, she has a deeper understanding of the true meaning of sports:
Indeed, everything changes, and everything is eternally developing.
Since everything is developing and the general trend is an upward spiral, what should she do?
"We should look at the problem from a development perspective."
Sarah talked about the methodology and began to relate it to reality:
"Perhaps in the past, brutal pirates like Gangplank could have pushed the world forward."
The most direct example: Piltover, the city of civilization and progress, developed through piracy and colonial business.
The pirates helped Piltover complete the primitive accumulation of resources. The vast amounts of materials they looted from all over the world later became the fuel for the Industrial Revolution, pushing human civilization forward.
“But now, times are different.”
"Gangplank is the king of pirates, but now, the era of pirates and kings is over."
"Planck's brutal rule has in fact become an obstacle to the development of civilization."
"Not to mention us, the trendsetter - even the business owners in Piltover and the Chem-Baron in Zaun are more progressive than him and better represent the 'movement'."
Piltover has hexgates , and Zaun can build ironclad ships.
Bilgewater under Gangplank's rule is still using ancient sailing ships and outdated cannons as it has been doing for thousands of years.
There is no other reason.
Just because for these pirates, sailing ships are still completely sufficient.
To put it bluntly, Planck was a feudal lord. As long as he could control his territory and grab money, he would have no motivation to promote the development of productivity.
However, the seed benzene manufacturers in Piltover and Zaun need to participate in fierce market competition and need to continuously develop more competitive products.
Craftsmen and scientists are respected in the Twin Cities, and their inventions can be transformed into visible economic results.
And in Bilgewater?
“Just think about my mother…” Sarah couldn’t help but clench her fists.
Her mother was once the best weapon craftsman in Port Beacon.
But Plank bought a gun on a whim and didn't want to pay for it, so he killed both her parents.
"Planck is indeed in motion."
"But his movement is not development, not progress, but just the 'spiral' within the spiral."
"If we allow him to continue to exist, he will be like a third-rate captain who is ignorant of hydrography and stubborn, leading everyone to circle around in the sea, or even run the ship aground!"
"Hmm..." The more Illaoi listened, the more moved she became.
The Baru people supported Planck before because he was a warmongerer, and war creates opposition, and opposition can promote progress.
But now, Sarah reveals to everyone that Planck's approach is outdated.
Times have changed, and feudal lords like him are too low. The Industrial Revolution has been going on for 300 years, and he should have been eliminated long ago.
Even without talking about other things, even if we only think about it from the most basic concept of "war" - even if Planck is a war maniac, can he be crazier than the leader?
The leader wants to overthrow Noxus and spread the wind of change to the whole world!
Compared with the global struggle that the leader wants to provoke, what does Planck's little tricks matter?
It's just kids fighting.
The more Illaoi thought about it, the more devoted she became, and the more she became interested.
"Don't you understand?" Sarah concluded while the iron was hot: "Things are constantly developing, and the essence of development is the demise of old things and the emergence of new things."
“This requires us to abandon the old in favor of the new.”
Leader and Planck, who is the old thing that should be abandoned?
The answer is self-evident.
Sarah's comprehensive explanation of the world view and methodology pointed the way for the Baru priests.
They have a deeper understanding of the true meaning of the movement, and have realized that according to the guidance of methodology: supporting leaders and eradicating Planck is the best way to practice the true meaning of the movement.
"My Lord, do you think so too?" Ornn communicated with the gods in her heart with a complicated expression.
Nagakabouros seemed to respond.
“Really want to help them?” Illaoi was surprised.
"They..." She hesitated and said in her heart: "After all, they are believers of a foreign god."
When pagans meet, it is considered good if they can coexist peacefully.
Especially in this extraordinary world, faith itself is a resource. It is not uncommon in history for sects to fight against each other in order to compete for believers.
So Illaoi instinctively held back towards the Wind Leaders, not wanting to help them too much.
But she quickly remembered that her god was not a god of faith, but an innate god of concepts. He was the concept of "movement" itself.
Her teachings are not stories, but scientific theories.
Stories need believers to become "true", but science does not need people to follow it, it only needs people to understand it.
Just like being an atheist does not prevent a person from understanding the concept of sports.
The Snake Mother does not require believers to worship Her name, but only requires believers to understand Her true meaning.
Anyone who understands the true meaning of the movement, whether they are a Baru or a leader, can be considered his believer - even if they also believe in another god.
"I see……"
Illaoi received the will of the gods:
"Sarah, we're going to help you."
