Chapter 130 Salvatore's Decision

"Don't think too much, senior."

Looking at Salvatore, who was sitting across from the carriage with frowning furrowed, Annan didn't have the slightest fear or unease on his face.

He just put his hands on his knees, and leaned back on the carriage, curling up lazily.

Annan glanced at Salvatore and said, "Your Excellency Bishop's thinking is correct. Both of us are very young, and those people will inevitably do things in order to compete for power... This will increase the variables.

"And the bishop, although he usually looks like a good man, it is the good man who gets angry that is terrible. The more at this time, the more I can't come forward - after all, what we need now is not a Rosberg who completely obeys my command. But Rosberg, who will not hold me back at a critical time.

"If it is to achieve this goal, then it is best for us to get out of the way. It would be better if all the forces in Roseburg could mistakenly think that Bishop Darryl stole my power..."

"No, that's not what I'm thinking about."

Salvatore shook his head and added: "It's not for the bishop to explore the way - since Bishop Darryl can be a district bishop, it means that he has at least the strength of a silver-level extraordinary person, and he Older and more experienced, it's much safer for him to go to this kind of thing than for us."

When exploring unknown rituals, the danger brought by a scumbag teammate is far from what the bonus of one more teammate can make up for...

It is better to have no one to help, and no one can hold you back.

Not to mention, this teammate can't throw out to attract firepower, but must be distracted to protect...

Annan and Salvatore are not the kind of awkward and ignorant people.

They clearly know that in the face of this kind of enemy - or maybe not the enemy, but in short, they are a dishonest.

Don't send the food.

Whoever could win has to lose...

"What I'm thinking about," whispered Salvatore, "do we really have... a reason to prevent Master Michelangelo from resurrecting?

"That's a true master, highly respected. In addition to his fame and countless disciples in the world of superhumans, he is also a master of art in the world of mortals..."

Perhaps it was because he was used to being hit by shadows.

The cowardice in Salvatore's tone made him reluctant to express his thoughts.

Especially when the idea is somewhat "irrational".

After all, in the superhuman worldview, any unknown, unaudited and unapproved private rituals are not credible-all to be vigilant.

No one knows what the sacrifices and materials must be in this ceremony.

No one can be sure what side effects will be brought about after this ceremony is established.

No one can guarantee what the purpose of this person is for this ceremony.

No matter which one goes wrong, it may cost more than one human life.

It doesn't sound good...

Since you will use unknown rituals that have not been registered, and no one is willing to vouch for you... That means that your purpose does not want or cannot be detected, right?

So it's only natural for us to stop you from performing rituals for the safety of ourselves and others, right?

Therefore, once the superhumans see someone secretly holding some unknown ceremony, the first reaction is to stop his ceremony and interrupt it completely.

Salvatore's idea of ​​"maybe it would be better for the ceremony to be established" is an innocent move that will be ridiculed in the world view of the extraordinary.

but……

"I support you, senior."

Annan's tone was calm and sincere: "I think your attitude on this matter is correct. If this ceremony is really for the resurrection of Master Michelangelo, then for the sake of safety, it is also called habitual thinking, and it is taken without hesitation. Ruining it is an overly conservative move.

"We are all ordinary people, we are all mortals. Mortals make mistakes... That is to say, the practice of 'pulling out all rituals' must be wrong at some point, right? So why can't it be now? ?"

——There is no doubt that Annan's words belong to the sophistry of children.

No adult would take a child's words seriously. No matter what the child spouted, there was one thing that couldn't be denied—he was just guessing.

Take risks for your own guesses.

This is never a smart move.

... But Salvatore, from the bottom of his heart, wanted to believe Annan's words.

Or rather, he had already planned to do so. Just missing an excuse.

"Thank you, Don Juan."

Salvatore took a deep breath: "Then, I will stay in the basement when I go back, and prepare a batch of pre-transformants urgently. When the fifth day is approaching, remember to call me in advance. I will urgently make another batch on the same day. Useful potion... thank goodness, I brought enough materials before I came to the frozen water port."

He looked at Annan and asked uncertainly, "In five days, will you accompany me back to Roseburg?"

Although Annan looked like he didn't want to destroy the resurrection ceremony.

But for Salvatore, it is enough as long as Annan doesn't intervene, and he doesn't expect Annan to accompany him on adventures...

His shadow also told him that the risk of failure of this plan is not large, but once he speculates that it fails, the price is not something he can afford. Losing the title of Son of the Black Tower is all light, and it is possible to be expelled and wanted if the loss is heavy.

- Salvatore wants to try it.

Because Master Michelangelo is undoubtedly a useful person to this world. His value is much higher than that of himself, a useless person without talent... If he really guesses wrong in the end, then Salvatore will risk his life and release the shadow, and he can also escort the civilians to escape safely.

"Don Juan" is the most sensible choice not to follow him.

But that's what it says.

He still has some hope that when he makes decisions, he can listen to "Don Juan"'s opinions...

"Of course I'll come. It's not the same as asking the bishop to see the situation. It's dangerous for you to go there... If I advocate letting you take the risk and I can come but don't come, that's nothing to a bastard. the difference?"

But Annan exceeded his expectations, and just replied leisurely: "You can just call me when the time comes.

"I'm just curious about one thing, senior... I hope you can answer it for me.

"Did you really just think, 'It's a good thing to resurrect Michelangelo,' that you decided to get involved in this trouble?"

Annan asked.

His eyes sparkled with curiosity.

It's true that he had planned to get involved in it...but Annan's curiosity about Salvatore was also real.

Because according to Annan's analysis, Salvatore must have something hidden in his heart.

Otherwise, according to his character, he should first persuade Annan not to go, and then decide to accompany him on the adventure after Annan refuses. Instead of being so active... Whether Annan goes or doesn't go, he has to go to witness that unknown grand ceremony that spanned several years.

Annan was very curious about that answer.

Peeping into the secrets of others' hearts and the essence of personality hidden from others is also one of Annan's joys in life.

Salvatore was silent.

He was thinking...or rather, he was also asking himself.

Finally, he opened his mouth and said firmly: "Part of the reason is about Mr. Notdham. I am a little worried about him, and I always believe that he is not a villain - my intuition tells me so.

"But I can't judge someone's good or bad based on my own speculation. I must see with my eyes, listen with my ears, and judge with my heart.

"And if he's not a villain, then he must be in a very difficult state now... He needs help, but when he looks up, everyone wants him to die. Even if he's not at fault..."

Just like what he said on the carriage.

Salvatore paused slightly when he said this.

He raised his head and stared at the roof of the car.

It was like watching someone in the memory.

Salvatore whispered softly, like a dream: "How can I... how can I turn my face away in the face of the suffering of others?"
