Chapter 21 Selection
After praying, Austin didn't stop long and left. Austin believed that from the moment he came to the church, he was discovered. Because when he was in the royal capital, Austin was forced to come to church to pray every week by his mother, so a considerable number of priests in the royal capital church had seen Austin. Austin came over to pray, and soon the presiding judge knew.
Although she knew that the Holy Maiden preferred Austin, who could produce gunpowder, the presiding judge, Vivien, believed that although Austin had mastered the gunpowder, the harm to the world was not necessarily less than the benefit, and she didn't know whether she should eradicate it.
Of course, I think so, but the presiding judge is the presiding judge after all, not a killer, but one of the three giants of the church, and the impact must be considered when doing things. Killing a prince in the royal capital, even the church, cannot afford such a scandal. Moreover, the saint herself is also hesitant about this matter, and the Pope is rectifying the wounded soldiers, and he does not interfere too much in this matter, including himself, and he also intends to take the lead in contacting Austin to see Austin's attitude and make decisions.
Vivien didn't rule anyone, so she followed Austin silently, and she didn't intend to hide herself. Austin quickly noticed the person following behind him, and frowned slightly, this person, he didn't know, if it was just a small person in the church, it didn't matter, but if it was a high-level, he didn't know, there was only one left, Judge Vivian. It can be said that as long as there are people who threaten the church, it is difficult for anyone to escape her poisonous hands.
And she is undoubtedly a threat to the people of the church, and just controlling the inquisition in the town dooms herself to be within her goal.
"Are you following me?" Austin asked, after a pause.
"Hmm," Vivien said.
"Is it Vivien, the presiding judge? is there anything going on?" Austin asked.
"It's been almost three months since the beast tide ended. I also know what happened in the town. I'm wondering, should you die here?" Vivien said.
Austin was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Vivien to speak so directly to herself, but saying this at least shows that she is also hesitating, which is also beneficial to herself.
"It depends on your pattern and ambitions, you set your sights on the church, I think it should be violently killed, but when it is put on the pattern of the entire human race, it should naturally not be violently killed. Austin said, "The beast tide is just the beginning, and things will be more difficult after that." Of course, it is not an option. Gunpowder is not the key to development, but the handling of the power problem, this is not counted, the main thing is the establishment of the scientific system, of course, it doesn't matter if you don't understand these, simply put, we are looking for the capital to fight with the gods of all worlds, I already have such a prototype here. Now, my guards are gone, and if you want to kill me, it's not difficult, you can choose. ”
"Fight the gods of all worlds?" you know what you're talking about?" Vivien said dismissively.
"I know, and I believe, that one day it will be done. But without me, maybe a hundred years, a thousand years, but don't worry, one day it will be done. Leave everything to your discretion. Austin said to Vivien with open arms.
Vivien was stunned for a moment and said, "Do you think I won't dare to kill you?"
"If the Holy Maiden had been signaled here, she would not have killed me. If it were my brothers, they would kill me, the Pope, would not kill me, seven archbishops, three would not kill, four would kill. Of course, this is analyzed, and I also have your information, but I can't analyze you, you are not a bad person, because I know that the heresy trial you engaged in is very strict, and basically there is no manslaughter. But very smart. Therefore, I give you the last choice in this world, if you kill me, you will kill, if you hesitate and do not kill me, you will acquiesce in my behavior. ”
"You ......" Vivien didn't expect Austin to be like this, and didn't know what to do for a while.
"There's no way to know what's going to happen in the future. Even if I make a weapon that can rival the gods, I don't know if I can win, if I lose, thousands of humans will die because of this, I don't want to carry it, but I know it, and I can't stand idly by. "Only the living need to carry these things." Choose, kill me, or, bystand. ”
"......" Vivian flicked her long sleeves, turned around, turned her back to Austin, and said, "The survival of mankind, don't put it in your hands, I won't kill you, it's not that I agree, it's just that you don't deserve it." ”
After hearing Vivien's words, Austin smiled bitterly and turned to leave. Vivien, who the church dared the most, was also able to do it. Although it is not a help, it is no longer an obstacle.
"It's a pity...... Austin said with a sigh and left. To be honest, I am not a person from this world, I have never been a stable person, not to mention, what I have to do in the future is not something that can be safe. One mistake will bring all mankind to ruin.
Vivien returned to the church, with a gloomy face, and came to the Pope, saying, "I have met Austin. ”
"Well, dead?" the Pope asked, then shook his head, "Look at your face, you shouldn't have succeeded, right? If it's because of Hawthorn, your face won't be so ugly, and the only person they can resist you is Hawthorn, and he's still in the Enchanted Forest, what's going on?"
Vivian did not hide it, and after explaining the situation in detail, she said: "The power of gunpowder is indeed far beyond our imagination, and the more terrifying thing is the tactics used, which we can all see from the information obtained from Camilla. But even so, they still did not stop a bit, they are still improving, we did not misestimate the power of the beast tide, but we have a wrong estimate of our strength, so in this beast tide, our loss is far greater than our estimate, and compared to Austin, with a very small number of casualties, it can withstand the beast tide. I believe what he said was true. ”
