The immortal black snake just wants to live simply

'...It's getting late, I have to do morning exercises tomorrow. '

The girl put down the newspaper and prepared to sleep.

And beside her pillow, there was already a stack of opened envelopes.

……

After a while, a store with the Capte Group's sign hanging outside the door opened.

At this time, the Caprini girl challenged her 'friend' who once laughed at her, now an outstanding sorcerer who has graduated from the University of Leitania.

After some time, the cold and angular buildings of the Capt Corporation rose from the ground, forming a sharp contrast with the romantic and artistic towers of the Leitanian nobles.

At this time, the Caprini woman used her fists to shut up a golden law guard who had retired from the army, allowing her parents, neighbors, past friends, and those who had previously mocked her to begin to recognize and understand her again. A strange, adult sub-product of 'Letania'.

A small number of people who are aware of a woman's strength begin to recognize her value and extend an olive branch to her.

but……

Where were they before?

……

Later, the [Secretary] of the Captor Group in Letania was able to negotiate with the electors, and the purple cats of [Cat Reading] were able to walk freely on the streets of Letania.

Although Leitania is not dominated by the Philin tribe like Victoria, there are still many people who like the Philin tribe.

These sometimes aloof and sometimes clingy little guys quickly integrated into Laitania and became part of the daily life of Laitanians.

At this time, because the Caprini woman was too young and energetic and did not know how to keep a tightrope when doing things, she beat an organized group of magicians under an earl to a black and blue face alone... The earl was very angry.

He felt ashamed.

And people sometimes do things that are unreasonable in the eyes of ordinary people just to save face.

In the audience seat, after hinting to Caprini to keep her hand but being ignored by the other party, the count said angrily, "Young man, don't be too arrogant!" and then used his own resources and power to exclude Caprini. Nigerian woman.

And nobles are nobles after all... warriors are warriors after all.

A Letanian who cannot use magic, all the dignity and pride of those warlocks are worthless in front of her giant sword.

But... so what?

She can fight a hundred or a thousand, but can she still fight 1?

The power that a noble can use is much more than that of a simple warrior.

The endless harassment and assassination could not kill the Caprini woman, but it eventually made her tired and irritable.

And the olive branches extended by others seemed so hypocritical in her eyes.

Just when the Caprini woman fell into a new round of troubles, Capt appeared in front of her for the second time.

"Oh...my dear old friend, it seems that you have encountered some minor troubles."

Capt, who no longer wore formal attire but a casual T-shirt, invited her in a warm and familiar tone.

And to a certain extent, although the two people had only met once before, they had indeed been exchanging letters for many years... so they could be considered familiar.

For the Caprini woman, the film in front of her is a rare confidant.

Of course, she knew that Capt was a businessman who always made a sure profit from his investments, and she also knew that the other party had no agenda.

Although Capt hid it well, the warrior's intuition was sometimes so unreasonable.

But... so what?

It was Capt who gave her confidence before she could see the light of day.

Capt was the only one who affirmed her existence when she was questioned by the outside world...

……

At this time, Capt completely ignored what the ripe fruit in front of him was thinking.

He reached out to the Caprini woman deftly.

Although he is an investor who reaches out everywhere, the value of the Caprini woman in front of him is obviously worth his extra effort.

A warrior who can use force to defeat most schemes is rare.

"Since you are tired of staying in Leitania, and all the warlocks you can fight have been beaten by you, and it is obvious that the Golden Law Guards and the warlocks in the tower will not attack at will... then, why not How about going to Casimir?"

"Maybe those knights of Casimir will bring you extra surprises."

The Caprini woman looked at Capt, who was still half a head shorter than her.

The other party's magical self-confidence has not changed, but his face has become more mature... but there is still a trace of childishness that has not faded.

She stretched out her hand again, trying to touch the other person's head.

But unfortunately, what she touched was a stack of paper.

Capt blocked his head with the employment contract he had prepared long ago, and looked at the Caprini woman dissatisfied.

'...response is really fast. '

The Caprini woman felt a pity.

Then the Caprini woman pretended to be normal and took the thick stack of contracts in her hand and looked through them roughly.

Then, she took the pen that Capt handed her and signed her name.

The whole process went so smoothly that Capt, who had already predicted success, felt a little confused.

'She trusts me so much?Aren't you afraid that I might cheat her contract? '

'Or is it that she knows that she can't play word games against a businessman who is good at this, so she ruins it by relying on her physical strength that can overturn the table? '

'Tsk... Well, if you don't need to read minds, even if you see their actions through [subjective prediction], you still can't understand their motives. '

Although he was complaining in his heart, Black Snake had no intention of reading minds.

It’s not just that Capt wants to completely cut off his relationship with Black Snake.

If faced with such a short-lived species that can read minds and can predict the opponent's actions, and it is within the range that he can handle, he will be afraid and worried about some of its confusing behaviors, and will be confused.

So, how should He communicate with those beings who can neither read minds nor predict their actions?

Mind reading is indeed very convenient, but it is not omnipotent.

Black Snake has been training himself since a long time ago.

Chapter 299 Black Snake: Ouch! Yelagund, are you blushing? Jack’s face

"His tears are ice that never melts, His back is the indestructible rock, His breath is the cold wind in winter, and His smile is the warm sunshine in spring."

"When He awakens, the mountains will send messages and the sky will rain down colorful lights."

"At first, Kjerag was inhabited only by a group of wild men, until He raised his head from the mountains."

"He took human form and lived with the savages. The savages feared his power and respected him as a god."

"More and more people gathered around him, so Kjerag was born, and he was Kjerag's first king."

"Under his leadership, Kjerag flourished and prospered."

"After He had been in charge of the kingdom for 300 years, one day, He suddenly passed the throne to His deputy and disappeared into the wind and snow."

"From then on, Kjerag was handed over to human hands."

In the holy abode, under Yelagund's somewhat embarrassed gaze, a pale shadow was reciting loudly the Bible issued by Manzhu Yuan - "Yelagund" in both hands.

"...That's enough, don't read it out."

Yeragond blushed and took away the old book with slightly yellowed paper from Black Snake's hand.

Many of the books in the Holy House are quite old.

And Jeragond didn't read much on weekdays, so Enya didn't update the library regularly.

……

The shadow whose face could not be seen clearly shrugged.

Although he couldn't see his face clearly, Yeragond was somehow able to feel the mocking attitude.

"...So, what exactly do you want to do with this posture now?"

After putting the snatched books back on the bookshelf, Yeragond put his forehead and sighed.

She didn't know why, but when she saw other people in Kjerag reciting those legends and poems, she didn't react much.

But it was only when Black Snake began to read aloud passionately that she felt embarrassed.

……

"Of course I'm here to help you, Yeragond!"

The shadow's body is changing, alienating towards some specific image.

"However, I am a good and considerate friend. In order to avoid causing some unpleasantness in our future relationship, you can tell me..."

In Yelagund's eyes, the phantom in front of him was like a feathered beast emerging from its shell. Those chaotic and psychedelic coats turned into fragments and began to fade away layer by layer.

A terrifying and ugly giant with white hair all over his body and his head on the roof was looking down at her.

"Why did you let go in the first place? Why didn't you continue to be their king? And...if they really abandoned their faith, would you still love them?"

The image of the black snake at this time is exactly the same as the mountain snow ghost shown in a mural in Manzhuyuan.

This is the [knowledge] of the Black Snake by the Kjerag people.

And the ridiculous thing is...

Black Snake didn't look like this at all when he fought against Yeragond.

……

At the same time, the secret troops trained by Enxiodis have quietly sneaked into Kjerag through a secret route controlled by Kalan Trade.

"Brother... By the way, Master Enxiodis asked us to name our troops Mountain Snow Ghosts. This is not good."

"Yes, no matter how you say it, Mountain Snow Ghost is not favored by Yelagund in the legend... What's more, among the murals painted in Manzhuyuan, there is a tall man who is known as the "King of Mountain Snow Ghost". Is this giant with white hair and an ugly face the mortal enemy of Yeragond?”

"Lord Yeragond will definitely not care. The fact that we are still alive and walking on this land is proof. What's more, are we supposed to watch Kjerag return to his backward and closed appearance? Let us be kind to us. Master Enxiodis was taken away from the mining area and valley, and the operation of the factory was stopped?"

"And the Originium electric stove purchased by Kalan Trading from Colombia has helped many people survive the coldest winter? There are no natural disasters in our mountains, but ice and snow can still kill people... Lord Yelagund will understand us. "

"That is to say...the herdsmen's livestock sticks and the fertilizers from Victoria, what's so sinister about these things? I think the other two tribes were spoiled when Master Enxiodis didn't come back. , they just want to annex the power and property of the master’s family.”

"I don't have any objection to Master's actions. Everyone here has gone through such hard training from Victoria and supports Master Enxiodis. I just think... the name of our unit is a bit unlucky."

"Yes, and don't forget, the miracle like snow flying into the sky a few days ago is said to be because Yelagund summoned the saint for an urgent matter... Yelagund has not manifested his existence for hundreds of years. I thought……"

"What do you think! Don't think that you can give up your faith after living in Victoria for a while. Even if those self-righteous foreigners think that we are superstitious, there is no doubt that Yeragond exists... Huh! This kind of disrespectful thought will never happen in the future. No more.”

"Your Excellency Jeragond, please forgive this young man's disrespect."

In the woods with snowdrifts on their heads, these soldiers, equipped with the standard armaments that Victoria had phased out, began to clasp their hands and pray to Jeragonde.

When the young man saw this, he also put on a pious look... Although he had been shaken by his faith after experiencing Victoria's civilized education, the miracles that occurred a few days ago undoubtedly represented their faith. The gods are real.

Although they would not know that the miracle was just an excuse for Yeragond to take the Saint to visit the Duchy of Cosiche.

……

But at this time, the young man praying had an uneasy thought in his mind.

'Since Yeragond really exists... does that mean that the legendary [King of Snow Ghosts] who fought with Yeragond for three days and three nights also really exists? '

'But according to the legend, the [Mountain Snow Ghost King] did not die, but was suppressed... There are also some versions saying that the [Mountain Snow Ghost King] escaped. '

'Our unit calls itself [Mountain Snow Ghost], will it cause trouble? '

'...Forget it, why are you thinking so much? '

'Even if the [Mountain Snow Ghost King] really exists, it must be under the power of Yelagund and cannot harm the people of Yelagund! '

……

In Manzhuyuan, the annual meeting of the three tribes is being held.

The main door of the hall slowly closed, and the air in the hall suddenly became quiet.

The Great Elder sat in the center, Aktos and Ratatos stood on one side, and Enxiodis stood on the other side.
