Chapter 72
……
Due to Caesar's tough stance, Zhu Meng left after making some harsh remarks.
The people in the meeting room gradually dispersed, and soon only Caesar, Tang Zhong, Tang Yue, Hei Yu, and Councillor Luo Mian were left.
"Caesar, you are like this..." Tang Yue looked worried.
The impact of this incident is indeed very bad. Zhu Meng acted in the name of the Magic Palace and the Pearl Magic Tower. Caesar's statement is not a simple matter.
"Don't worry, he can't control me." Caesar leaned back in his chair.
"The Magic Palace will not want to confront me head-on. You should think about how to deal with this plague."
It was not a difficult task for him to quickly complete the plague scenario. He just had to control Luo Mian and make him tell the truth.
However, the biggest problem in this matter is not the plague, but the black snake.
The plague is just an excuse. Without this excuse, there will be other excuses in the future.
Those who are not of my race must have different hearts. Human beings are such a race. They are good friends in times of crisis, but when they become strong, they will stab and slaughter them in the back. Not to mention those of other species, there are many such people among the same species.
Either to cover up one's shameful past, or to enjoy the fruits of victory alone.
Peaceful coexistence is impossible anyway.
The matter of the black snake still needs to continue to ferment.
"Tang Yue, take the black snake out and hide for a while." Tang Zhong said.
"At least wait until the black snake has finished its molting period before coming back. Otherwise, I'm worried that Zhu Meng will come to harm me."
The issue of the black snake did not arise overnight; it has been debated for a long time.
Many people are unwilling to allow the black snake to continue to stay in human living areas, and there are many reasons for this.
There are people like Zhu Meng who firmly believe that "those who are not of my race must have different hearts". There are also many people who think that the human living area actually needs an uncontrollable giant beast to protect it, which is an insult to human magical civilization.
They feel that anything they cannot control is not trustworthy and is better destroyed.
But the Black Snake is in Hangzhou, and it is not impossible to destroy the city if we act rashly.
Moreover, those mages who are capable of suppressing the peak-stage Black Snake have no interest in getting involved in this matter.
But now, with the plague as an excuse, those who advocate getting rid of the black snake will not miss this opportunity.
……
After crossing several mountains, under Caesar's escort, Tang Yue safely arrived at the resettlement area of the Totem Black Snake, a continuous white mountain.
Knowing that he had received help, Xuanshe finally lost his vigilance against Caesar.
"Sorry to trouble you." Tang Yue felt a little embarrassed.
"There is no trouble between us," said Caesar.
"But have you ever thought about how Xuanshe will live in the future?"
"We can't hide forever, can we?"
The totem beasts all have a miserable end. After all, they are not the same race as humans. In addition, due to their powerful strength and high intelligence, it is impossible for humans to truly trust them.
What humans need is never friends, but dogs.
People will only feel at ease if they can hold the power of life and death firmly in their hands, like summoned beasts and contracted beasts.
The biggest problem with totem beasts is not their power, but their wisdom, or in other words, their self.
"Don't tell me you haven't thought about it?" Caesar asked.
"No." Tang Yue shook her head.
"The matter of the Black Snake has been debated for many years. Our clan has always been fighting for the Black Snake, but the Magic Palace and the Pearl Magic Tower have never given in."
If it weren't for the fact that the black snake never shows up in public, I'm afraid it wouldn't even be able to survive the days of hiding like this.
Moreover, the totem black snake has become accustomed to living in human living areas, and the hidden danger strategy always insists on exterminating the black snake.
After all, if it is just expelled, no one knows when the black snake will no longer be able to stay in the demon land and will quietly come back.
"Then have you ever thought that Totem is indeed not suitable to continue staying with humans?" Caesar said.
"You are a judge, you should know what humans are like. They will not trust the Black Snake. There are many people like Zhu Meng. If he hides this time, there will be another time."
Tang Yue lowered her head in silence.
She knew it, but there was really no way to solve this problem, so she could only continue the stalemate. "Okay, I just said it casually, you don't have to think too much." Caesar hugged Tang Yue.
"There's always a way."
……
After settling the Black Snake, Caesar took Tang Yue back to the city.
Tang Yue took the black snake's blood to find Zhu Meng, while Caesar returned to the hotel.
After the incident with the Black Snake became a big deal, Mu Ningxue and the others left Hangzhou. Now, only Fal is left here.
Like Ye Xinxia, in order to avoid any accidents, her aura was also completely concealed by Xinyuekui's spell.
Seeing Caesar who was worried, Xin Yuekui came over and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I wonder what would happen if one day I became an outlier," Caesar said.
Xin Yuekui was stunned, "Alien? Why would you think of this?"
"But, to humans, I am indeed an alien." Caesar's mind moved, and the two dragons in his body hung behind him again.
"These are not summoned creatures, they are part of my body."
"You know, many people like Farr have discovered it."
In the past, he could still deceive himself, thinking that he was just a "new god" transformed by Tian Yong and Bai Long's divine energy. In the final analysis, he was still a human being.
However, after developing his divine power and understanding his own body over the past two years, he has become increasingly clear that, apart from their similar appearance, he has little in common with humans.
So, compared to before, he has become more and more obedient.
"Are you worried?" Xinyue Kui said.
"Maybe." Caesar walked to the French window.
"Just like humans reject totem beasts, even though these totem beasts have helped them countless times."
"As an outlier like me, I will be rejected by them one day."
The more he understands himself, the more confused he becomes, because he cannot see his destination, the end of his life.
Human beings live for a hundred years, but when they look back a hundred or even a thousand years later, they will find that they are still themselves, without any changes or signs of aging.
"Aren't you worried that you'll be excluded as an alien?" Xinyue Kui said.
"You are afraid of losing what you have now. You are worried that those girls, your friends, your friends in the Parthenon, will look at you strangely, just like the people here look at Xuanshe."
Caesar looked at the night view outside the window in silence without responding.
Thousands of years ago, the black snake also lived in peace with the humans on this land, and they were very close.
But now?
The black snake was chased here and there like a rat crossing the street.
The black snake has not changed, but the people here have changed.
He seemed to see himself a thousand years later in the black snake.
The only difference is that he won't become a pariah because he is stronger than these people.
Xin Yuekui walked forward, hugged Caesar, and patted his head, "Don't think too much, you don't need to think about the future now."
"But I have seen it," said Caesar.
"No, you didn't." Xinyue Kui said.
“It is not easy to predict the future. You don’t know how to predict your fate. The future you see is not the real future. It is just the future you worry about.”
"So what did you see?" Caesar asked.
"What you worry about won't happen." Xinyue Kui said.
"why?"
"Because I will help you avoid that kind of future. You don't need to worry or be afraid."
