Crossover in the Anime World

The Adventurer's Guild in the Novice Village is always lively, with different adventurers coming in and out. They always say hello politely when they see Aqua, a member of the Party Atmosphere Group.

Aqua posted a notice on the adventure notice board to recruit teammates: Our goal is to defeat the Demon King, so we only recruit high-level professions.

A very demanding notice, but no one came. Sato Kazuma was a little anxious. He felt that the requirements were too high. After all, he himself was a low-level businessman with no skills and could not attract high-quality teammates. .

However, the goddess said: "I am the high priest, a super priest who can't even deal with resurrection. My teammates must match my abilities." It was really a mockery of Kazuma.

"Oh, are you recruiting teammates? This is a very good idea." Duran gave Aqua a business card: "But with the goal of conquering the Demon King, I think you'd better not write it like this."

"Hey, isn't the slot supposed to only recruit high-level professions? How many high-level professions can there be in this place? This is the adventurer base farthest from the Demon King's City. It has the same concept as the Novice Village." Kazuma Obviously, he thought that Duran's slot was wrong. It was every adventurer's responsibility to defeat the Demon King, and there were not enough high-level professions in the Novice Village, so Duran was putting the cart before the horse.

But the goddess asked: "Don't you think the devil should be eliminated?"

"Of course I am not saying that the Demon King should not be eliminated, I am saying that the existence of the Demon King is in line with the objective laws of this world." Duran said: "Look, there are adventurers, adventurer unions, monsters and experience points in this world. , these contents seem to be game settings, but in fact, if these things appear in a real world, there will be a problem, and that is who will bear the cost of fighting monsters and exploring the world. Or let me put it another way, Sato-kun, Do you think this world is a low-demon world or a high-demon world?"

Sato was stunned. It's really hard to say, but he has played many games and is very interested in this kind of discussion: "High magic and low magic should be considered based on the destructive power of martial arts and magic. I think this world should be high." The demon world, because I heard that powerful magic can destroy a city, and there is such a thing as resurrection magic. It cannot be a low demon world." "But does this have anything to do with conquering the demon king?" The young man didn't understand. What did Duran want to say.

"Of course it does matter. Do you think the destructive power should be considered for high or low demons? I don't think so. I think it depends on who pays the cost of exploring the world and studying the truth. If it is a sword and If the cost is paid by magical adventurers, then this is a high-magic world. If this cost is paid by ordinary humans, then it is a low-magic world. Now let’s think about who pays the research costs of this world?" Duran asked .

Sato Kazuma was stunned. He really didn't know this, but he thought it was an adventurer: "It should be an adventurer. After all, only adventurers can run around, dig ruins and the like."

But Dulan just shook his head: "The ones who really pay for the research costs are the superior gods and the destroyed ancient magic empire, while the adventurers are just resting on their laurels. Since the adventurers do not bear the research costs, they must naturally rely on gods and If the ruins cannot be independent, then it is impossible to defeat the devil. This is the objective law of this world. Even if you defeat the current devil, other devils will appear, because these devils want to pay the cost of researching the truth themselves. It is necessary to break the dependence on gods and relics, and because of paying the cost, the Demon King represents the evil that breaks the rules." Dulan's analysis told them that the appearance of the Demon King is in line with objective laws, and it is the instinct of this other world to pay for the research costs. To cause trouble, in order not to rely on gods and ruins, someone must stand up and pay the cost on behalf of the other world in order to gain independence in the future.

If the research costs are not paid, then the world will never be independent, and if it is not independent, there will inevitably be a new demon king.

From thought to development, from independence to rejuvenation, everything has to pay a cost, and the reason why future generations can enjoy blessings and receive dividends is because the predecessors have paid the cost, and if future generations only want to receive dividends and are unwilling to pay If the cost belongs to your own generation, then your descendants will have to bear the cost in the future.

Costs will not disappear but will be passed on.

Therefore, Duran believes that the first of the two points on the notice is the problem. The devil is the representative of paying the cost, and the adventurer is the representative of receiving the bonus, so their contradiction cannot disappear.

"You will definitely be popular if you participate in a TV show." Sato Kazuma had to admit that Duran's theory was very attractive, but he was not the kind of person who would change just because he heard the truth. If he could change so easily, he would no longer be a stay-at-home guy.

Stay-at-home, otaku, and NEET are not good words. They all represent a group of guys who cannot integrate into society. It is only when children who watch the second dimension grow up that these words become more and more neutral, and they are no longer considered to be derogatory terms, and many people are even willing to elevate the second dimension to a very high level.

This is easy to understand. After all, all entertainment projects that have appeared since ancient times require a process of improvement.

For example, poetry is about expressing one's ambitions. Poetry has naturally been of high quality since ancient times, but poetry was the pastime and entertainment of literati and poets after dinner, so at the beginning the poetry was all erotic and almost reached the eighteenth ban, but later on There are more and more people writing lyrics, so some poets proposed that lyrics also express aspirations and are the same as poems, and then the status of lyrics rose step by step.

Take film as another example. When it first appeared, it could not be compared with other types of art, so the rhetoric of the eight major arts emerged, which forcibly bundled film with traditional arts such as painting and sculpture. Later, there was the term "Nine Arts", and games were also included.

In fact, it’s just a matter of raising a hand. This is true for words, movies, and games. Of course, the second dimension also needs to be raised. Maybe there can be a top ten art that includes the second dimension.

If the second dimension is to be raised, more works that promote truth, goodness and beauty are needed, rather than black, deep, and residual. Anyone who mentions black, deep, and residual when mentioning the second dimension is reversing the course of history. History has proven that if words, movies, and games want to enter the mainstream, they must cater to the mainstream ideology, and the mainstream ideology is positive energy, so they must spread true energy. Of course, in the eyes of some people, this kind of behavior that caters to the mainstream ideology is flattering and groveling. They just want to create different fireworks and are dark and crippled. Then they are destined to be impossible to become the mainstream, and they can't expect outsiders to do so. Understand them.

Sato Kazuma is obviously an otaku who is incompatible with mainstream ideology. After coming to the other world, his behavior is different from normal people. He is actually confused. Now he is given a goal to defeat the Demon King, but he still has no motivation. In other words, in his heart, he did not take defeating the Demon King seriously, so he would not take Duran's theory seriously. On the other hand, Aqua is only focused on defeating the Demon King so she can return to heaven, so she doesn't care whether the Demon King is an objective law: "As long as I defeat the current Demon King, that's it. The other Demon King has nothing to do with me."

Goddess, is this okay? Du Lan thought to himself that you are a goddess. Why don't you consider building a tall heroic persona like yourself? Do you want it to be so real?

But Aqua is so real, because as a goddess, she is also marginal, and her teachings are eccentric.
