The immortal black snake just wants to live simply

Hearing "an inferior copy" the Black Keys felt like the voice in my head cursed a vulgar Laitanian slang.

But then it was fleeting, as if afraid of being discovered by Gertrude.

But after listening to Gertrude's story, Black Key became even more confused.

If the voice in his head does not come from the real Witch King, it just represents the angry mood of the Witch King when he composed this piece of music...

Then why is the Witch King afraid of a little earl like Gertrude?

You know, even when I accepted the letter of commitment and canonization in front of the Queen, the voice in my head was not timid at all, and started to go crazy from time to time.

Could it be that Gertrude is not as simple as she seems?

Black Key felt that instead of decreasing, the doubts and worries in his heart had become more.

……

And just when Black Key was wondering whether to ask Gertrude for more information, Bai Chao, who was sleeping soundly beside his grandfather's bed, entered a strange space in his consciousness.

"This is... where?"

Bai Chao looked around uneasily.

He clearly remembered that he should be in front of his grandfather's hospital bed, but he seemed to have arrived in this strange space in the blink of an eye.

'So white...'

In Bai Chao's perception, the surrounding area is completely white.

It was not as white as falling snow, but pure paleness.

Bai Chuo waited patiently for a while, and found that he could not get any more information by staying where he was, so he tried to move forward.

But with this move, he discovered a problem.

He didn't know how long he walked in this seemingly endless white space, but he didn't feel any physical thirst, hunger, or fatigue.

He didn't notice even the slightest change in the scenery around him.

He tried shouting, but found he couldn't hear his own words.

But he could sense that some unreasonable silent melody was being played silently.

He gradually became afraid from uneasiness, but this space had a richer emotion than his fear.

That is the confusion of a genius.

A vast sea of ​​confusion.

Shen is as confused as a mountain.

Confusion is everywhere.

Bai Ke felt that his soul was gradually becoming void, as if everything was meaningless in his mind.

Music, friends, relatives...even thinking.

Since all life will end in destruction and death, what's the point of struggling?

No...what's the point of death and destruction?

And just when confusion was about to completely occupy Bai Ke's mind, a sigh suddenly came from the entire space.

This sound was like a stone falling into the water, causing ripples in this calm and desolate space, rescuing Bai Chao from confusion.

Black Key would definitely be surprised if he were here, because this voice is almost exactly the same as the auditory hallucination in his mind.

But this voice was not like the anger in Black Key's mind that wanted to destroy everything. Instead, it revealed another emotion.

It was emptiness, a nothingness that seemed to be able to swallow everything.

Bai Chao could clearly hear something inexplicable in that old voice.

"really……"

"Did I fail?"

Chapter 353 Black Snake: Being so tsundere is so disgusting

"Old gentleman, may I ask who you are..."

In the blink of an eye, an old man wearing traditional Leitanian noble clothing appeared in front of him out of thin air.

Bai Chuo was not frightened by the sudden appearance of the old man and took a step back.

His emotions are still gradually recovering from confusion, and even his fear of things that are different from ordinary people has become extremely dull.

"...It's just a replica worth mentioning."

The old man looked at Bai Chuo with his empty eyes.

Logically speaking, as the earthly voice that carries the Witch King's confusion, he should not have any reaction to the outside world.

Even if he could clearly sense that the other party was a relative of the Witch King and the bearer of this earthly voice... but so what?

This will pass eventually.

Everything is meaningless.

Relatives, music, the throne, revenge, resurrection... none of these touched him at all, who represented the confusion of the Witch King.

He is just a copy that carries the Witch King's confusion and possesses the Witch King's memories.

So what is the significance of what he did?

He did not observe what was happening around the carrier like the earthly voice of the Black Key that carried the wrath of the Witch King. He tried to engulf the carrier with melody and shake the carrier with words... because he thought that was meaningless.

But today, he who had given up even thinking in the past and felt like a pool of stagnant water suddenly began to have the desire to interfere with the outside world.

This is not because the earthly voice on the other end resonates with it, allowing Baichao to penetrate deep here...that is, to communicate with the earthly voice in the body.

But it was because of a sneaky evil guest who accompanied Baichao.

The old man lowered his head and opened his palm. There was a black snake inside that was no longer moving and was just decomposing like dust.

The black snake was killed the moment it followed Bai Chao into the interior of the Earthly Sound.

Before it even had time to react, consciousness was like a drop of water, blending into the earthly sound composed of the confusion and emptiness of the Witch King alone.

After all, this black snake has very little will placed on it.

……

"..."

No, this is not a bad visitor.

Possessing the complete memory of the Witch King and carrying the confused earthly voice of the Witch King, he just spread his palms and remained motionless until the body of the black snake was also annihilated in this space.

Even though he was confused by the Witch King and had lost other important emotions, he could still be sure.

'He is a friend. '

Immediately, the old man put down his palm, and his voice showed a rare hint of excitement.

"Have you seen him?"

Looking at the blank Bai Ke, the old man remembered that "his" confidant always liked to disguise, and it was indeed difficult to tell.

Then, as soon as he had an idea, the entire white space began to be dyed with color like a canvas. Cello, flute, violin, saxophone, trombone... and other dazzling musical instruments appeared one by one.

If you don’t know me, that’s okay.

The old man can use [music] to express everything he wants to know.

Each piece of earthly sound actually possesses the complete memory of the Witch King and reflects the feelings of a certain period of time.

But whether it is the anger of Gaul trampling on Letania, the confusion about his own talent when he was young, or the emotional realization in other periods...

None of them have forgotten the music composed by the real [Witch King] for his friends.

Before we made friends, we carried the loneliness and yearning for this friendship when we were young...

After making friends, I enjoyed the friendship with the high spirits of my youth...

Even after the friendship was broken off, the rage of old age did not deny that friendship...

So they can't understand all of it.

Why did the most complete and true “self” betray Him in the first place?

Even though their memories are intact, the differences and flaws between emotions still prevent these clones of the Witch King from finding the answers that belong to the real Witch King.

……

At the same time that the black snake possessed by Bai Chao died in confusion, Gertrude, who was diligently reviewing documents in the territory in the study, frowned.

Then she put down the document in her hand titled "Unlimited Cooperation between Veselheim and Capt Group" and ordered the servants on standby to determine the status of the chalk.

The news soon came to the surveillance staff.

[The target is in the temporary ward of the Rhode Island office, currently sleeping next to an elderly infected person who is not related to him but depends on each other for life]

[No fluctuations in Origin Stone skills have been found yet]

"...I understand, continue to monitor, especially the communication between the other party and Rhode Island."

Gertrude did not criticize the surveillance personnel harshly, because it was not an omission that the other party could subjectively change.

If the sounds of the world can be observed so easily, then the Witch King's court musicians and the Queen's Voices of the Twins are probably just useless warlocks with poor academic skills.

Rather than just one genius from all of Leitania.

……

'Is it Rhode Island?No, the male and female demon is not here, and the thing left by the Witch King is not something that can be touched casually. If you want to kill me who is possessed by Bai Chao without destroying the sound of the world and leaving me too late to react, That little Sakaz, codenamed Furong, couldn't do it alone. '

'Will that be Bai Chuo's teacher?No, that Sakota was very smart. When she noticed those magic circles, she left wisely... Moreover, she couldn't protect herself. Rutland's wanted criminal was not that easy to be. '

'Forget it, just in case, let's provide some information to the Notary Office of Rutland, so that Sacota will not disturb the situation... Gertrude is the count of Letania. In view of the fact that Rutland and Letania Diplomatic relations between the two countries, it is reasonable to provide information. '

'...Could it be caused by the resonance of two earthly sounds? '

Just as Gertrude was deep in thought, the door to the study was opened.

As for the person who dared to open Gertrude's study without knocking, there was only Black Key in this mansion at this moment.

'...You have a headache just now, but you don't go to sleep?It seemed that Czerny's comments during the day made him very angry. '

Gertrude was about to speak, but Black Key beat her to it.

Count Utica did not mention to Gertrude his failure in the selection for the Czerny concert that afternoon. Instead, he said in a somewhat cold tone:

"Dear Ms. Gertrude, it seems that you are not very efficient in handling things."

"Before coming here, I thought that Veselheim was as stable and prosperous as you once told me, but it seems that it is just an illusion."

"Otherwise, why would you have to deal with so many things late at night?"

Count Utica mocked.

In fact, when he woke up again and found that Gertrude was not around, he had a hunch that the extremely enterprising woman must be staying up late working again.

Although Gertrude always used the theory that "you only need 6 hours of sleep a day to stay healthy", the Black Keys did not approve of this kind of using the body to the extreme like a machine, maintaining and squeezing it. way to work.

After all, people are not machines, and there is no need for Gertrude to push herself so hard.

So the Black Keys used their own way to persuade Gertrude:

"Gertrude, you don't want to be called aunt instead of ma'am when you walk outside, do you?"

"..."

Gertrude kept smiling and was speechless looking at the black key that clumsily expressed concern in front of her.

'Who did this child learn to express concern like this? '

Chapter 354 Black Snake: There are really immortals who care about age, right?

'Who taught him to care about others like this? '

'(Letania swears) The wings are growing hard, right?Now that he dares not to use my honorific title and calls me aunty, I can’t even imagine what he will do next! '

'Don't be too harsh. After all, that's the kind of environment the child grew up in...and being weird was probably the only way he could express his dissatisfaction at that time.Although it seems like he can't even express concern anymore. '
