The immortal black snake just wants to live simply

"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty."

"It doesn't matter, Werther, you were promoted by me. If I can't trust you, who can I trust? What's more..."

The emperor said no more, but Werther already understood what the other party meant.

The inner guards did not have the courage to disobey the emperor's will, nor did they have any thoughts of betraying Ursus... But not all the inner guards believed that the emperor was the only answer to Ursus.

Among them, even if the evil god's minions cannot penetrate the empire's sharp blade, the weapon itself will choose its own master.

The inner guards are the emperor's inner guards, but they are also the sharp swords of the empire.

In the eyes of some people, the Eternal Grand Duke, who has stood the test of time, represents the will of the empire better than the emperor.

……

The emperor took the document bag from Werther's hands, but did not open it.

He just looked solemnly at the line of Ursus text on it.

"A Record of the Psychological and Mental State of the Duke of Cosiche"

The document in this portfolio is not just the work of one man...in fact, it is thousands of years old.

This was a project secretly ordered by the founding emperor of Ursus himself.

It has continued from the beginning of Ursus to the present day.

Initially, it was just a piece of paper sealed by a few warlocks who liked to think wildly. It recorded various deeds about the black snake.

Later, as the recorded information continued to be enriched, the first printing of this project was also damaged due to the passage of time.

But the carrier of the record is not important, the information is important.

Under the strict protection of successive Ursus emperors, these observation data of the black snake even escaped the black snake's induction and have continued intact to this day.

……

"Witt, tell Count Rostov... just say that the Empire will not allow anyone to tarnish the symbol of Ursus."

"Of course, the tone should not be too harsh, and do not make Count Rostov become resistance to Baron Natalia."

"As for Natalia...this daring Baroness is an opportunity given to us in Ursus by God."

"However, she is still too weak and immature. Although she has her own special characteristics, it is not enough... Her current abilities are far from enough to support her arrogant ambitions."

"Witt, give me a communication line that is secret enough and out of Duke Cosiche's sight."

"I want to talk to the kid myself."

Chapter 343 He died and He woke up

'This child is an opportunity for Ursus. '

'I am certain that the immortal Duke is no longer the same as before...but is this change good or bad? '

'He stretched out his hand to Sakaz, revealed the identity of Satan, and strived for the qualification of [Demon King]. Is it really what He claims to be, is it for Ursus? '

'He stayed in Rhode Island. That land speeder may indeed have many secrets...but why did he stay there in an avatar whose identity had been exposed? '

'His surface activities have become more and more frequent recently, but this is not normal... Grand Duke Baikal, Deputy Division Commander of the Third Army and Governor of Rosin, and Viscount Kerk, these traitors have been eliminated by me. All that's left are the dead bones in the grave.They can't make any waves. '

'The people will be on my side. I have defeated Ursus, who belonged to the late emperor... What I want to do next is to recreate the glory of Ursus during my father's period in another way. '

'A gentle and peaceful way. '

'But everything is obviously developing towards a good situation, but the Eternal Archduke of Ursus has begun to become unstable. After Casimir's knight competition, the Holy Fool no longer carries out that project... Although this maniac who pretends to be a ghost is trying hard. Covered up, but I still sensed his fear. '

'[Cosiche is dead]... Ridiculous, not to mention that the current Duke of Cosiche stays intact in his own territory, and who can really kill him?Killing a living, self-renewing ideology? '

'...'

'Cosiche, you are an integral part of Ursus, right? '

……

Czerny has been feeling a little tired recently.

Although he didn't know why, the mineral sickness that had plagued him in the past was slightly relieved, but because of this, he wanted to hold a concert while he was in good health.

As an infected person, he became a first-class musician in Letania. Few people know what Czerny paid for this.

In order to invite those high-minded critics to attend the concert, he used almost all his previous favors and also used a lot of copyrights to get them.

He even pinched his nose and wrote a recommendation article for the music of a frivolous nobleman whom he looked down on in the past.

For him, after reaching this point, there is almost no way out... and he really has no way out.

He had to do this in order for the prosperous life in Xizhao District to continue.

Otherwise, even though Gertrude, as the lord of Vishelheim, could not think of a reason to allow this area where the living conditions were so good that some infected people gathered to exist.

……

After finishing the last selection, Czerny dragged his exhausted body to a house that looked neither shabby nor luxurious, a decent house.

Czerny declined Gertrude's proposal to change to a mansion suitable for Leitania's status as a first-class musician, and also refused to move to the High Court area where the dignitaries of Viseheim lived.

Not just because he is an infected person.

It's because Xizhao District is where he grew up and is his home.

Having one more talented musician in the High Garden just gives the nobles one more choice for their leisure time.

However, one more renowned musician in Xizhao District can drive the development of this area and put a satisfied smile on the faces of the residents here every day.

……

However, even though the house was not big, Czerny, as a very busy musician, obviously could not handle the daily chores alone, so he lived with distant relatives whom he invited.

A kind old lady who loves to worry, is slightly fat, short in stature, and has inconspicuous wrinkles.

On weekdays, this old woman named Ursula takes care of Czerny's daily life.

"...Ursula, what's for dinner today?"

Czerny opened the door, but he didn't get an immediate response like in the past, so he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

But there were still chatter in the house, indicating that there must be someone at home.

So Czerny looked towards the living room.

bang bang dong!

Seeing the two people sitting on the sofa, chatting and laughing harmoniously, Czerny's heart beat violently.

But it wasn't because of any other emotion, just pure fright.

"Gertrude, why are you here?"

Czerny hurriedly interrupted the conversation between the two and stood between them, glaring at Gertrude.

Although Gertrude is Czerny's biggest sponsor, in the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between the two should be that of confidants and bole, with a deep friendship... After all, it was under Gertrude's recommendation that Czerny was able to At that time, he released the music "Morning and Dusk" as an infected person, and then became famous in one fell swoop.

At the beginning, Czerny regarded the other party as his friend and his noble person.

But as time passed, Czerny realized the difference between the two.

Although Czerny didn't have much affection for the aristocrats because of his own background, this did not prevent him from admiring the aristocrats' music.

Just like those nobles regarded Czerny as an unclean person, they did not prevent them from practicing Czerny's music at home.

Czerny believes that even a lucky person who is pampered and ignorant of the sufferings of the world may not be unable to interpret the joy of birth as long as he has enough respect and pursuit of music.

In his opinion, the most important thing for a musician is sincerity towards music.

But Gertrude is different... In her eyes, music is like a tool, just a means to earn fame and wealth.

This is not even the education a qualified Leitanian noble should receive.

This is a kind of blasphemy against music, and Czerny absolutely cannot accept this attitude.

Therefore, the connection between them is getting weaker and weaker, and there is not much friendship.

Gertrude used Czerny's music to promote the development of Vesselheim, and Czerny used Gertrude's patronage to keep the Sunset District running.

It's just that both sides get what they need.

And today, Gertrude, who had no contact with him in the past, suddenly appeared at Czerny's home. How could this sensitive musician not think too much?

……

Looking at the tit-for-tat two people, Ursula wanted to defend Gertrude. After all, in her opinion, Gertrude was not only a noble person from Czerny, but also a rare person who was close to the people and did not discriminate. An infected Leitanian noble.

However, she also felt that it was not easy for her to intervene in the conversation between the two parties, so she used cooking as an excuse to leave this place of right and wrong.

'By the way...Is Ms. Gertrude not married yet? '

'Oh, why did I have this idea? Although my husband is talented in music, he suffers from ore disease. Doesn't this delay the countess... It is really a sin. '

Ursula, who was cooking, quickly shook her head and gave up the idea of ​​going overboard.

Chapter 344 Czerny: Black Key, you kid took the back door, right?

"Mr. Czerny?"

"You haven't practiced much."

"As you said, but-"

"The improvised feeling is too heavy. You play yours and he plays his, and you can hardly feel the coordination... Especially you, Mr. Black Keys, you don't care about the emotional expression of the cello melody section at all, and you always stick to your own speed. , but you want the cello to accommodate you."

"..."

"If you hadn't reacted later, you would have completely messed up this episode."

"Totally fucked up by me? No, I don't think you heard it very clearly..."

"I'm sitting here, and you think I can't hear clearly? Do you think I have a hearing problem?"

"Mr. Czerny, Black Key doesn't mean that, he just..."

"Just what? I think I'm just used to being praised."

"Are you used to being praised?! You don't understand my situation at all. I ask you to take it back——"

"Bai Chao can think about it again, forget it. Next group."

"What are you talking about? How could I even connect him -"

"...Mr. Czerny. If the Black Keys can't appear, then I won't be able to attend the concert."

"Baike, why do you need to speak for him?"

"The Black Keys helped me a lot, so..."

"I'm sorry, it won't matter if there is one less cellist in this concert, and I can't wish for one less noble gentleman to join in the fun. Next group!"

……

After making sure that Ursula, who was busy in the kitchen, was not eavesdropping, Czerny looked tense and said coldly:

"Dear Lady Gertrude, I wonder why you come to my humble residence?"

And Gertrude, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up with a smile.

She rested her hands on her back and walked around Czerny, looking up and down as if admiring a work of art.

"Dear Czerny, don't be so nervous, just some small things... some small things that won't be difficult for you to do."

"In the selection for your concert this afternoon, there should be a pair of cello and flute...Similarly, it is also a rare combination of a noble and a commoner."

"I hope you give those two kids a chance."

After hearing this, Czerny's expression softened.

At least it is better for the other party to present their demands openly and openly than to hide their knives behind a smile and plot some unknown conspiracy.

Last time, Gertrude cheated on the copyright of more than a dozen Czerny compositions.Sold it to an entertainment company, and then hypocritically paid Czerny less than one-tenth of the labor fee.

Even before the labor fee was received, Gertrude took it away on the grounds that Czerny was obliged to build the Sunset District.

Although the other party did use the money to renovate the infrastructure, the problem is... she is the lord of Vesselheim!

And it was Czerny who created those tunes, not Gertrude!
