Looking at Salvatore, who was sitting across the carriage with a frown on his face, there was no trace of fear or uneasiness on Annan's face.
He just hugged his knees with his hands, leaned backward on the car, and curled up lazily in a ball.
Annan glanced at Salvatore and said: "The Bishop's idea is correct. We are both very young, and those people are bound to cause trouble in order to fight for power... This will increase the variables.
"As for the Bishop, although he usually looks like a good old man, it is scary when a good old man gets angry. The more it is at this time, the less I can come forward - after all, what we need now is not a Roseburg who completely obeys my command.
It's Roseburg who won't hold me back at critical moments.
"If it is to achieve this goal, then it is best for us to get out as soon as possible. It would be better if all the forces in Roseburg can mistakenly think that Bishop Daryl has stolen my power..."
"No, that's not what I'm thinking about."
Salvatore shook his head and added: "It's not a matter for the bishop to explore the way - since Bishop Daryl can be the district bishop, it means that he at least has the strength of a silver-level transcendent, and he
He is older and more experienced, so it is much safer for him to do this than for us."
When exploring unknown rituals, the danger brought by a bad teammate is far beyond what the bonus of one more teammate can make up for...
I would rather have no one to help me than anyone to hold me back.
Not to mention, this teammate cannot be thrown out to attract firepower, but must be distracted to protect...
Annan and Salvatore are not the kind of awkward and ungrateful people.
They clearly know that in front of this kind of enemy - or maybe they are not enemies, but in short they are just a loser.
Don't go and deliver the food.
Those who could have won have to lose...
"What I'm thinking about," Salvatore whispered, "is there really any reason... to prevent Master Michelangelo from being resurrected?
"That is a true master, highly respected. In addition to his reputation and countless disciples in the world of extraordinary beings, he is also an art master in the mortal world..."
Maybe it's because he's used to being hit by shadows.
The timidity in Salvatore's tone made him reluctant to express his thoughts.
Especially when this idea is somewhat "unreasonable".
After all, in the world view of the extraordinary, any unknown, private ceremony that has not been reviewed and approved is not trustworthy - it must be vigilant.
No one knows what the necessary sacrifices and materials are in this ritual.
No one can be sure what side effects this ritual will have after it is established.
No one can guarantee what this person's purpose was in holding this ceremony.
No matter which one goes wrong, it may cost more than one life.
To put it bluntly...
Since you will use an unknown ritual that has not been registered, and no one is willing to vouch for you... then it means that your purpose is not wanted or cannot be noticed by others, right?
So for the sake of our own safety and the safety of others, it is natural for us to prevent you from performing the ritual, right?
Therefore, once extraordinary beings see someone secretly performing some unknown ritual, their first reaction is to stop his ritual and interrupt it completely.
Salvatore's idea that "maybe it would be better to let the ceremony take place" is a naive move that would be ridiculed in the world view of an extraordinary person.
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 to resurrect Master Michelangelo, then for the sake of safety, let's call it inertial thinking and turn it over without thinking.
Destroying it would be an overly conservative move.
"We are all ordinary people, we are all mortals. All mortals make mistakes... In other words, the approach of 'uprooting all rituals' will definitely be wrong at some point? 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 such a child's words seriously. No matter what the child talks about, one thing cannot be denied - he is just guessing.
Take risks based on your speculations.
This is never a wise move.
...But Salvatore came from the bottom of his heart and wanted to believe Annan's words.
In other words, he had already planned to do this. He just lacked an excuse.
"Thank you, Don Juan."
Salvatore took a deep breath: "Then, I will stay in the basement when I get back and prepare a batch of pre-conversion agent urgently. When the fifth day is approaching, remember to call me in advance. I will make another batch urgently that day.
Useful potion...Thank God, I brought enough materials before coming to Frozen Water Port."
He looked at Annan and asked with some uncertainty: "Will you accompany me back to Roseburg in five days?"
Although Annan seemed to not want to ruin this resurrection ceremony.
But for Salvatore, it was enough as long as Annan did not interfere. He did not expect Annan to accompany him on the adventure...
His shadow also told him this - although the risk of failure of this plan is not great, once he speculates that it fails, the price will not be something he can bear. Losing the title of Son of the Black Tower is a light thing, but if he suffers heavy losses and is expelled,
Wanted is also possible.
——Salvatore wants to try it.
Because Master Michelangelo can undoubtedly be called a useful person to this world. His value is much higher than that of a useless person without talent... If he really guesses wrong in the end, then Sal
Valtore risked his life to release the shadow, and was able to safely escort civilians to escape.
"Don Juan" would have made the wisest choice not to follow him there.
But that’s what they say.
He still hopes that he can listen to "Don Juan"'s opinions when making decisions...
"Of course I will come. This is different from asking the Bishop to go and see the situation. It is dangerous for you to go there... If I advocate that you take the risk, and I can come but don't come, what does that have to do with 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 something, senior... I hope you can answer it for me.
"Did you really just think, 'Resurrecting Michelangelo is a good thing' and decided to get involved in this troublesome matter?"
Annan asked.
His eyes sparkled, full of curiosity.
It's true that he originally planned to get involved in this matter... but Annan's curiosity about Salvatore is also true.
Because according to Annan's analysis, Salvatore must be hiding something in his heart.
Otherwise, based on his character, he should first persuade Annan not to go, and then decisively choose to accompany him on the adventure after Annan refuses. Instead of being so proactive... Whether Annan goes or not, he will go and witness the unknown.
, a grand ceremony that spanned several years.
Annan was very curious about the answer.
Peeping into the secrets of other people's hearts and the hidden personality essence of 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 spoke in a firm tone: "Part of the reason is about Mr. Noterdam. I am a little worried about him, and I always believe that he is not a bad person - my intuition tells me so.
"But I can't judge a person's quality based on my own speculation. I must see with my eyes, listen with my ears, and judge with my heart.
"And if he is not a villain, then he must be in a very difficult state now... He needs help, but looking up, everyone wants him dead. Even if he has done nothing wrong..."
Just like what he said in the carriage.
When Salvatore said this, he paused slightly.
He raised his head and stared at the roof of the car.
It's like looking at someone in the memory.
Salvatore whispered in a low voice, as if he was talking in his sleep: "I...how can I turn my face away from the suffering that others have endured?"
