Man is infinite, and his ambition is to slay the dragon

The image ends here.

The Saint of Machinery put away the projector, and the Saint of the Sun also spoke.

[How is it? Saint of Flame, do you understand what is happening on the front line? ]

[The logistics support provided by a large number of Saints of Time, because the Saints of Time did not act according to the rules and orders, caused many second-class gods to die from serious injuries. The lack of elite combat power further led to the collapse of the front line, and ultimately made this battle that should have been able to severely damage the Roaring Blood Clan fail.]

[In just these ten days, the total number of times that all Carulas have violated orders has accumulated to more than 100,000 times. This is not an abnormality that has only appeared this time. As early as a year ago, various bases and departments have frequently reported abnormalities in Carula. The previous solution was to immediately replace a batch of new Carulas. Although this has caused considerable pressure on the production facilities of the cult, it has indeed greatly reduced the number of abnormalities.]

[However, now, I have to admit that this problem has never been completely solved. This long-standing problem has finally caused huge losses to the Divine Religion. If the Divine Religion wants to move forward, it must eradicate this cancer.]

[Right now, except for one Carla who stayed with you to take care of your daily life, all the Carla have been imprisoned. This time I called you all together to discuss and decide how to solve this problem.]

Listening to the Sun Saint's explanation, Sieg's expression became visibly gloomy.

(Did such a thing actually happen?)

After [repelling] Tina and returning to the Sun God Cult, he never paid attention to the situation on the front line again. After all, the Roaring Blood Clan could not be completely wiped out like this. It was foreseeable that after Bagram took action, the Cult would stop because of the heavy losses. However, since the Roaring Blood Clan had already been dealt a heavy blow, it was also a step for the Cult to stop.

But now...

"Props that are no longer useful should be discarded, right?"

Sitting in one of the two seats closest to the Sun Saint, the masked prophet Bayone - Scarlet - was the first to propose such a plan.

"Although this is a very regrettable decision, the current state of the Time Saints makes it difficult for them to continue to shoulder the responsibility of logistical support."

[Abandon all of them? Indeed, this will certainly cause the Church to suffer heavy losses, but if drastic measures are not taken, this cancer will become a root cause that cannot be eradicated.]

"I agree."

"I agree too."

......

The rest of the dragon slayers also gave their answers.

till the end--

Everyone's eyes turned to Sieg again, who did not express his opinion.

"...Let me go meet the Saints of Time first."

After thinking for a while, Zig said.

"My opinion, I'll tell you after that."

79. Did I do anything wrong?

There are no prisons in the Cult of the Sun.

Because the only enemy of the Sun God Cult is the dragon, and dragons have always been destroyed on the spot. As for the traitor... it is impossible for such a thing to exist in the Sun God Cult, where all the people from top to bottom maintain a unified ambition to destroy the dragon.

Therefore, there is no special area for detention within the Sun God Cult.

The area currently used to imprison many Time Saints was the living area where all Time Saints would temporarily live and study after being created. Of course, due to their current situation, the Church would not let them off easy, and all of them were imprisoned in the house by the cages created by the Prison Saint with magic.

After expressing his opinion in the Great Temple and obtaining the permission of the Sun Saint, Sieg came here directly and explained the situation to the religious soldiers in charge of the imprisonment.

Then——

"The Holy Saint of Flame...sir."

It was obviously different from other houses, and it was not even a single-family house enclosed by a cage.

When she saw Sieg appear, Carla No. 19835, who had taken off her black clothes and put on a simple white dress, stood up immediately and looked at Sieg in surprise.

After signaling others to stay outside and not to follow in, Sieg closed the door and walked into the house, then sat down opposite Carla.

"I've heard about what happened. It really is a big deal."

"......yes......"

Carla sat down slowly, looking quite depressed.

She is the oldest existing Carla. All Carla are managed and educated by her. Every time a new batch of Carla is created, she will go to take care of them for a period of time and teach them all kinds of basic knowledge and common sense.

However, now that things have turned out like this, if anyone is to be held accountable, she will definitely be the first culprit to be held accountable.

"Why did you come to visit me?"

"I just came to check on you and to tell you about the current decision of the Dragon Slayers." Sieg said, "In order to solve the problem of Carula and others not obeying orders, and to prevent such heavy casualties from happening again in the future, the Dragon Slayers' meeting that just ended has temporarily determined the plan for you - to abandon you all."

【All discarded】

Hearing Sieg's decision, Carula's face turned pale instantly! Not even a trace of blood could be seen! Her body suddenly softened and she almost fell off the chair!

"How, how could this happen... If everything is abandoned, doesn't that mean... all of me will be..."

"Although it is a cruel decision, it is the truth. All Dragon Slayers except me either agree or don't care. And I will decide my attitude after this conversation with you." Sieg said in a deep voice, "Of course, I am not here as a Dragon Slayer this time. If I must say, I am here as an individual."

Personal identity.

This description immediately brought back some light to Carla's eyes, which were about to become completely dim.

"You...you mean..."

"Don't be happy too soon. I haven't made a decision yet. Whether I will help you in the end depends on the result of our conversation." Sieg sighed slightly, "Tell me the truth, Carla, what do you think about the big problem you caused this time?"

"Thoughts?" Carla calmed down, a strong regret appeared on her face, "My thoughts... just think this is too weird."

"Strange? Why?"

"Why do so many of you disobey orders? I am the Saint of Time of the Sun God Cult. I should make the greatest support and sacrifice for the Cult's dragon-killing cause. I am ready to sacrifice my numbers, my hopes on tools, and my lives... The meaning of my existence is to provide the greatest support to those who fight dragons..."

Carla clenched her hands tightly: "But why...why did it turn out like this? Why would so many of you go against your duties?"

“Perhaps it’s you who’s to blame for this.”

"......Eh?"

Kalula was stunned by Sieg's sudden words: "I...I didn't do anything. Although I am the manager of all the Time Saints, in terms of function, I do not have the right to directly command the Time Saints——"

"That's not what I'm talking about." Sieg interrupted Carula's explanation, "If I remember correctly, your wish is to be free, right? You want to save the people you want to save, and you want to have a certain degree of freedom - this is what you told me before."

Carla nodded.

What's wrong?

"You also said that you taught this kind of thing to other Saints of Time, right?"

"Yes, it is."

"Perhaps it is because of your teachings that all other Carulas have the same wish as you. If it is just you, then it is not a big problem, but if hundreds or thousands of Carulas have the same idea at the same time, then it will be a big problem."

Sieg said in a deep voice: "You are the most important logistical support for the Sun God Cult, and the part that cannot afford to make mistakes. But because of your wish, all the Kalula have developed their own wills and want to act according to their own ideas. The result is what is happening now - the elite who should have received treatment the most did not receive it in time, and the cannon fodder who is almost useless on the high-end battlefield survived."

"I don't like to say this myself, but on the battlefield, the value of an ordinary soldier is completely unequal to that of an elite warrior. The life of the latter should always be given priority."

"I believe that the Sun God Cult also has such a rule, but all the Carulas have violated this rule one after another. There are even some Carulas who gave up the lives of their soldiers to help other Carulas—"

Having said that, Sieg stopped talking.

In front of him, Carla looked as if her worldview had collapsed, and she fell to the ground with a "thump!"

"How, how could this happen... Did I... Did I do something wrong?"

"I just want to let the others have a little more freedom... I just want to... I want to tell them... that's all..."

"Is this wrong, Master Sieg?"

Did Carla do something wrong?

Zig felt that she did nothing wrong. She was just doing what a normal girl and elder should do. She was absolutely right.

However, in this environment of the Divine Religion, what she did caused the Divine Religion to suffer huge losses and caused the most important Saints of Time in the Divine Religion to lose the ability to perform their functions... From this point of view, she was undoubtedly wrong.

From the perspective of the Cult of the Sun, Kalula must be punished, and must be punished most severely.

——She will be the last Carla to be abandoned after witnessing all the Carla being abandoned.

80. Kamui: Carula? (No emotion)

Silence spread between Carula and Sieg.

The cause and effect are basically clear, but neither Carla, the person involved, nor Sieg, the bystander, can make an absolutely correct decision on this matter.

After all, absolute right does not exist at all. All right and wrong will change because of different ways and angles of view.

(What do you think?)

Sieg sent inquiries to the people on the Kreinsheed.

After a brief silence, Edwards' voice rang in Zigg's mind.

[If you ask me, neither side is wrong, but both sides are wrong. Whether it is the Sun God Cult or Miss Carula]

[The Sun God Cult has been relying on the power of the Time Saint for many years. To put it bluntly, the Cult has been using the power of the Time Saint all the time. Even after the real Time Saint died, they were still not satisfied and created a large number of clones to serve.]

[In order to slay the dragon, this is of course a helpless thing to do, and it is rationally correct, but judging from the matter itself, it is indeed inhumane and an emotional mistake.]

[This time is the same. The Cult of God is just making the right decision to help slay dragons as always. Now, in order to ensure that there will be no problems in slaying dragons in the future, they have made a very correct decision.]

[As for Ms. Carula's behavior... I think there is no need to explain it, you know it well.]

[She did nothing wrong, but from the perspective of the religion, she did something wrong.]

[This is simply a bad account! ]

The last sentence was spoken by Xijing Ningyin's voice.

[Zig, I advise you not to get too involved in this mess. We are leaving in a few days. If you take the initiative to get involved in this troublesome matter now, you will be in trouble in the future. I have a lot of experience in this regard.]

[If I were to say this, just say you don’t care and stay out of it.]

As soon as Xijing Ningyin finished speaking, the voices of Brunhilde and Em sounded one after another.

[I agree with Miss Ningyin's opinion, Master Sieg.]

[This kind of thing involving the conflict between organizational philosophy and personal philosophy will only make things worse no matter which planet it is on. We really don’t need to care about it.]

(.......)

Sieg fell silent.

Then, Sieg stood up and walked over to help Carla up, patting her on the shoulder: "Our conversation ends here. As for the Dragon Slayer, my opinion is [I don't care]."

"Lord Sieg..."

"It's just that before I leave, I want to tell you one last thing."

Sieg stopped at the entrance.

"After I make the decision, the Cult will decide to abandon all of Carula, and you will probably be collectively executed in a few days. And from what I know about that idiot, once he knows you will be executed, he will definitely come to save you at all costs, just like he came to help me time and time again. Even if he has lost his magic sword now, he will not hesitate at all."

Shenwei is such a person.

Even if there are dangerous places ahead, as long as his goal is there, he will definitely throw himself into it.

"I won't hide it from him on purpose. I will explain this to him later and return the magic sword to him at that time."

"And if he's going to get taken out at the end, I'm going to save his life - that's it."

After saying that, Sieg grabbed the door handle and prepared to leave Carla's house.

But before that—

"Clang!"

There was the sound of a chair falling to the ground behind me.

Sieg looked back and saw that Carla was now kneeling on the ground, with her head hitting the ground heavily.

If I remember correctly, this is the apology gesture called "Dogeza" in Japan, right? It is the most solemn apology gesture.

"Carla, what are you doing?"

"I really do...thank you very much, Master Sieg."
