The immortal black snake just wants to live simply

Tallulah was just too scared.

afraid of what?

She actually didn't know.

……

In the evening, Alina ended her day's teaching, humming a lullaby softly and coaxing several young children to sleep.

These children look cute when sleeping, but they seem to have a few black stones stuck to their arms, faces, or thighs.

"..."

Alina looked at the sleeping children slightly sadly.

They are still so young...

But what can she do?

Do not……

She might be able to do more than she does now.

Alina returned to her tent and slowly closed her eyes.

Fell into sleep.

……

At the same time, in the darkness, next to a desk with a candlestick, a woman who looked exactly like Alina opened her eyes.

Alina raised her head, trying to see the ceiling of the library.

But there was still only gray fog there.

She couldn't see the top.

She looked around again, and there were tall bookshelves with more than a dozen floors arranged in a twisted manner... Fortunately, there was a movable ladder next to each bookshelf.

Alina held the candle in her left hand and walked carefully, step by step.

But as soon as she stood up, there was a rustling sound from all around, like the sound of scales scratching.

Likewise, the sounds of chewing and biting began to come from all directions.

Alina hesitated for a while, and finally chose to muster up the courage to walk forward.

She had been here several times, and this time, she had to do something.Otherwise, what's the point of being stuck here?

This library, which is full of weirdness, was obviously left by the Duke of Cosiche... Is it some kind of Originium technology?

Alina doesn't know.

When she felt like she should take a chance.

If the Eternal Duke of Ursus really wanted to harm her, there was no need to go to such trouble.

Taking one step at a time is better than standing still.

Alina walked slowly leaning against the bookshelf. She couldn't feel the temperature of the candle, as if the candle's existence was only for illumination.

The contents of that book have different words written on them.There are Usas, Sami, Casimir...and many words that Alina doesn't know.

But they all seem to be names.

It’s weird.

……

'What is this Elafia doing? '

'Can't she see the warning sign I specially prepared? '

'You are simply a newbie who skipped the novice tutorial! '

'No, we must guide this Elafia, otherwise we don't know how long she will waste her time. '

……

At the same time, a white-haired Liboli woman lay on the hospital bed and closed her eyes.

Chapter 252 Tallulah: I really deserve to die!

"Tallulah, from today on, you are my heir...stand up tall! Tallulah! What's going on with your expression? My heir must not look so cowardly."

"Keep your head up, Tallulah! When that earl's son laughs at you, slap him back!"

"Not worth it? Why not worth it?"

"The hurt of words is also hurt, and since you have been hurt, take revenge."

"Your aggression still needs to be improved."

"I know what you are afraid of. It's not that you lack the courage. You are just afraid that it will make your situation worse... But Tallulah, you have to remember."

"You are my heir."

"Behind you stands Ursus, second only to the Emperor."

"Everything you say and do also represents my face to the outside world."

"but me……"

"Don't like to be embarrassed."

……

"Tallulah, you read the history of the Hippogriff, absorbed the knowledge of the snake, stepped on the land of the bear, and carried the blood of drak and dragon...you were born to rule."

"Of course, you also need to understand that the so-called rulers, the so-called nobility, the so-called army... are just strong people, pampered people, and well-trained people."

"Your bloodline gives you magical talents that are far beyond ordinary people; your identity gives you a privileged life; and I can give you sufficient knowledge. You are supposed to rule them, rule the people entrusted to us by the empire... You are not enough Work hard, Tallulah, you can do better!"

"so……"

"Can you tell me why you got such a low score on this test?"

……

"Tallulah, it's good that you are kind. You are becoming more and more like me... However, your behavior will only cause you trouble in the future."

"It would be foolish to let the tiger return to the mountain."

"To our companions who trust us, to the people we rule, we are a bonfire that warms the hearts... But to our enemies, to the beasts who dare to show their claws to us, we are a fire that destroys everything."

"Tallulah, if you don't have power, show no mercy to anyone."

"so……"

"Why don't you go practice sword practice!"

……

Late at night, Tallulah was lying in bed unable to sleep.

She recalled the words of the patriot.

'He seemed very sad. '

Tallulah tried to empty her mind, but found that as time passed, she had more and more random thoughts in her mind.

These are all memories related to Cosiche.

At the same time, what hurt her the most was her dream.

The dream in which she stabbed the sword through Kosiche's chest with her own hands, and that face of Kosiche contained regret and malice.

Pale and bloodless.

[You win, Tallulah, you fooled me]

[You took advantage of my hesitation, took advantage of my confusion... took advantage of my softness, and hid your hatred and murderous intention towards me very well]

[If I had known this, I should have killed you directly]

It was indeed just a dream.

Tallulah never harbored murderous intentions toward Black Snake.

Not even when Black Snake went to dig her parents' graves.

When she was at Dragon Gate, she did stab Cosiche with her sword, but she did not harm the black snake hidden in Cosiche's body.

Tallulah always understood that the black snake's existence form was different from hers.

'...Have I really made Him sad this time? '

Will Black Snake be sad because of himself?

Tallulah felt very guilty, but also faintly excited.

Will He also be sad because of Him?

Tallulah had never been able to figure out Koscich's inner thoughts.

Expressions and demeanor are masks for Black Snake. In Tallulah's eyes, what he shows is never how he really feels, but what he wants others to think of him.

It's an illusion, a disguise.

But after listening to the words of the patriot, Tallulah felt inexplicably calm at this moment.

"...Perhaps, I got into trouble this time."

Tallulah got dressed and got out of bed.

After hesitating for a while, she changed back into the pink sweater Cosiche had knitted for her.

She actually wore the sweater as pajamas.

Most members of the Integration Movement think that their leader is not good with words, but in fact, those who are familiar with Tallulah know that she is actually quite glib.

These are what Cosiche taught her!

She did not leave the tent, but stood up and muttered:

"[White hair][Scar][Fedia][Duke][Usus][Heritage][Immortal][Pale]..."

Tallulah paused, hesitated for a moment, and whispered:

"[Childish] [Small-minded] [Eccentric] [Moody]..."

Tallulah closed her eyes.

"[The person who raised me] [The person who accompanied me when I grew up] [The person who helped me]... [The person who is above me]"

[Snake Scales] all know how to summon the will of the black snake and pray for him to turn his attention to themselves.

So how could Tallulah, the duke's heir, not know?

And Tallulah knew more than those [Snake Scales].

All the modifiers of black snake are actually unimportant.

Because in the eyes of thousands of people, the Eternal Duke of Ursus is different...even contradictory and fragmented.

To call Him, as long as you know clearly that you are calling the [Black Snake].

The modifiers only play a certain supporting role... By the way, let me mark who is calling the black snake.

So even the spell to summon the Black Snake is not set in stone.

As long as you call His name, imagine His face, recall His words...then He can sense it.

Of course, there is a scope limit, but it is also not impossible to isolate it.

But that was enough for the Black Snake.

……

What is the Duchy of Cosiche?

What does the Duchy of Cosiche mean to Black Snake, to her benefactor, to the object of her allegiance, and even to the existence she loves?

XenoMi has never given up thinking about this issue.

As the leader of the Happiness and Security Committee, Xenomi knows many secrets of the Duchy of Cosiche.
