The immortal black snake just wants to live simply

"Count Utica...don't you believe me?"

"Could it be that the more than ten years of friendship between us is not even as good as the few provocative words you hallucinated in your mind?"

Black Key remained silent.

And even though the Worldly Voice protected Black Key's heart from the Black Snake's prying eyes, Gertrude could feel Black Key's distrust from Black Key's stiff and trembling hands.

'...'

To be honest, Black Snake wasn't that injured.

After all, this is logical. Even Gertrude only used the black keys as a tool to carry earthly sounds. At best, it was kind to him.

And looking for Bai Chuo is just to make his next plan more certain... After all, the carrier of two earthly sounds has a deeper connection with the Witch King than the carrier of one earthly sound.

In His eyes, Black Key is still just a sacrifice... Even after raising it for more than ten years, Black Key is not as popular with snakes as Natalia.

Caprini, who always had a thorn in his words, was not even as good as Tallulah. At least Tallulah could only be considered naughty in the eyes of the black snake when she was a child.

So Black Snake's feelings for Black Key are at best, and they give priority to Bai Chuo when there is a sacrifice that is even stranger to Black Snake... and this is just because even Black Snake will feel nostalgic. emotion.

If Chalk succeeds, then Count Utica will get the freedom he dreams of.

But if Bai Chuo fails, then Black Key will rise up and become the container of [Black Snake Version Witch King], losing his consciousness.

Evil gods do have feelings.

Just not much.

……

Of course, just as few bad people have their viciousness written on their faces, there is no need for Black Snake to show his ruthless...or extremely selfish side.

and so……

"Let us end this charade... Count Utica, your vigilance is reasonable. The relationship between us has never been very good."

"But I've never lied to you in the slightest. And I'm not going to lie to you now."

"Not only because being honest is more conducive to the implementation of my plan... but also because I feel that a child who has been deceived and fooled too many times does not need to endure more avoidable deception."

"Why do you think I would pass up an opportunity to present my work to the public?"

"Those foolish people will only explore the violence of the Witch King... but ignore the true value of His Majesty."

Gertrude loosened her grip on the black keys.

As if taking off a mask, she clapped her hands in disgust and said calmly:

"The Voice of the Earth can certainly be used as one of the violent bargaining chips to overthrow the Queen, but this land has never been short of violence."

"The role of the voice of the world is not only to destroy... it can also give new life to those infected."

"Using the infected person's own Source Stone to heal themselves... sounds crazy, right?"

"But what if I say...he succeeded?"

"No, it's a bit ambiguous to say that. After all, the Witch King didn't complete this thing before his death, and the sound of the world is not his masterpiece, but a melody that he picked up at random... just a few random movements. Fragments cannot do such a thing.”

"But it doesn't matter."

After saying that, Gertrude puffed up her chest proudly and said slightly:

"Who knows that I am also a genius who is as good as the Witch King!"

……

After hearing Gertrude's purpose, Black Key was angry at the other party's concealment, and at the same time that he had nothing to do and couldn't refuse, but he didn't know why he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Gertrude kidnapped herself morally and threatened the lives of the infected residents of the Sunset Zone who had been affected by the resonance of the earthly sound, she would have to play at Czerny's concert with Chalk like a monkey in the zoo... …

But at least, if Gertrude really did not deceive herself, the lives of the residents of Xizhao District can still be saved... and their lifespans will not even be shortened due to ore disease.

As for Bai Chao...he hasn't figured out what to do yet.

In the past, Gertrude had never lied to the Black Keys, and at best she had concealed it.

From another perspective, although the auditory hallucinations in my mind were extremely certain that Gertrude was the Black Snake... there was no concrete and certain evidence after all.

It's just that it can't be falsified either.

But Gertrude provided Black Key with another reasonable explanation...that is, Gertrude was actually a genius who was also comparable to the Witch King in the field of Origin Stone skills.

'Old man, you have nothing to say, right? '

Black Key probed in his heart.

But the auditory hallucination reaction in his mind made him a little uneasy again.

This time, the auditory hallucinations in his mind did not cause him pain, but they were very clear.

Furious Witch King?Angrily shouted in Black Key's mind:

'(Letania swears), black snake!I want to blast you away, I want to blast you away! '

'I'm going to destroy you, you shameless beast! '

……

Yes.

Although the black snake dressed as Gertrude said that he was a genius on the same level as the Witch King and used the voice of the world to accomplish what the Witch King had not accomplished before, in fact...

What Black Snake did was just sew together the Witch King's past research results.

And it's still quite ugly, not a very good stitching technique.

Chapter 3: Witch King, were you once the Philosopher King? Funny

And the exchange between Baichao and another earthly voice continues.

'…equality?Not a bad answer. '

'But the word is too hollow...and too false. '

'The weak pursue equality and despise the strong for pursuing privileges... But have they ever thought that the weak's pursuit of equality is itself pursuing a kind of privilege? '

'A kind of unearned [privilege]. '

'Just like the strong will be dominated by the stronger, the weak will also dominate the weaker...Although there are people who resist this iron law, how long can they persist? '

'[Below oneself, class is clear; above oneself, everyone is equal]'

'How ridiculous, but this is a true portrayal of the hearts of most people in this land. '

'I know, young man, of my young blood, that you must be thinking that I am trying to justify what I have done in the past... and if you think so, that is. '

'But I don't regret it. '

'But what I carry is the [Witch King's confusion] after all, not the [Witch King's arrogance]... so I also want to talk. '

'Don't get me wrong, I don't expect your understanding, and I don't care about your response... I just want to ask a question. '

'A question that has troubled me for a long time. '

'Maybe those two little girls obscured history, or maybe they didn't... But do you think, just with poetry and music, Laitanya can become the Laitanya it is today? '

'Aren't you curious why the classical spells of Leitania, those origin stone skills in industrial production, building construction, and agricultural cultivation, have been used to this day and are still the magic that Leitanians are proud of? …will it work so similarly? '

'It was I who improved them, it was I who enabled the farmers in the village to produce more food, it was I who made the workers in the workshop more efficient, it was I who integrated Originium technology into all walks of life and became a convenient tool for them. '

'It was I who enriched the Originium skills of Leitania and made it convenient for all Leitanians. '

'At that time, I thought that the lives of people in Leitania would be richer. I thought that they would have more time to enjoy the good times in life. '

'After work, I would leisurely enjoy afternoon tea, go to a pub for a few drinks, or compose a few pieces of music when inspiration strikes, and then play them to cleanse my soul... But I was wrong. '

'I just saw more people losing their jobs, their dignity and even their lives. '

'My efforts for all Leitanians ended up in the hands of a few...so I'm angry. '

'I didn't intend to use violence, I tried to convince them...but those stupid people were so stupid, they even openly discussed how to deceive me within the scope of my spell monitoring. '

'And when I exposed their clumsy lies, they pulled up another curtain of lies in an attempt to blind me and make me believe that they had indeed thoroughly deceived me for all Leitani. The benefits brought by the demihumans were returned to all Leitanians. '

'I'm tired of their excuses over and over again. '

'So, I killed them all. '

'But their positions cannot be left empty, but I am afraid that other nobles will be like those losers when they take their positions, so I specially selected a few enthusiastic people from the common people to take their positions. . '

'A few were even unemployed workers and farmers. '

'To this end, I have also specially developed several learning spells to prevent them from having empty positions and power but not being able to do anything...'

'...But that doesn't help either. '

'They fell faster than I thought. In just a few months, they have become a qualified noble... even because they were more familiar with the workers than the nobles who only stayed in the tower. And the actual work process of farmers, the squeeze is more impeccable. '

'I really couldn't understand it at the time. Did they think the surveillance spell I left behind was just a decoration?Do they think that just a few months of performance can reassure me?Why do they think I won't do spot checks? '

'So, I killed them all too. '

'Even though I could use magic to create a conscious body to rule, I was unwilling to let it run programmatically because I was well aware of its imperfections, so I changed several groups of people...but they all let me down in the end. '

'Even though my spells can crush natural disasters and distort reality, they can't fight against human beings' own evil nature. '

'Of course I can plant the voice of the world in every Leitanian's mind, so that their life and death can only depend on my thoughts... In fact, I think this is a good method now. '

'But I didn't do that at the time. '

'I changed my mind and started to develop more advanced, more convenient, simpler Originium technology that can make the production and life of Leitanians more convenient. '

'Since you can't ruthlessly erase everyone's independent thinking, why not choose to satisfy everyone's appetite? '

'I have the ability. '

'And I did it... In those few years, I satisfied almost all the desires of Letanians.Whether they are nobles or commoners; whether they pursue food and clothing or a more comfortable life. '

'...'

'But eventually I got tired. '

'I can't do it either. '

'My time to study Origin Stone skills was constantly compressed by tedious and meaningless government affairs. When I was busy with official duties, I didn't even touch my beloved musical instrument for a few weeks, and I didn't let music cleanse my heavy heart. '

'Whenever I want to rest for a while, they will continue to advise in my ears: Your Majesty, Letania still needs you to wear a laurel crown made of honor for her.Your people need your most just decisions. '

'But these sweet words are just covering up their own incompetence. '

'But how can I scold them for that? '

'Because they are indeed stupid...stupid enough to regard my Originium skills as a symbol of Leitanian power. '

'Because they are indeed weak...so weak that they can't even control the greed in their own hearts. '

'So they are incompetent and choose to believe me. '

'They believe that I am the tower that supports the sky of Leitania, the irreplaceable, indispensable and eternal pillar of Leitania. '

'But one question has always been lingering in my mind. '

'Since to workers, exploiters who cannot create value are meaningless and harmful existences, despicable thieves and shameful parasites...'

'Then what are those incompetent and ignorant people who can only flatter me? '

'And they are to me...'

'Are they [exploiters] in another sense? '

Chapter 371 Shocked! Three men were so suppressed by a woman that they could not lift their heads...

"Count Utica, I'll give it back to you... Czerny, I'm looking forward to what you can cultivate them into in the past few days."

"When the time comes, I will definitely attend your concert."

Gertrude lifted the silence spell in the room and pushed the door open.

Facing the people outside the room, a gentle smile appeared on her face again, but her eyes stayed on Bai Chao for a while longer.

But Bai Chao felt as if his whole body was being licked by sticky eyes, scanning thoroughly inside and out.
