The immortal black snake just wants to live simply

Bai Chuo was pulled by Furong for examination.

Ursula was cleaning three guest rooms for the three guests... Although Czerny specifically emphasized Fleur's guess to her, the worried old woman did not choose to leave.

"Since sir is not afraid, what do we have to be afraid of? If it weren't for sir, we probably wouldn't have many more years to live."

"Sir, I still have to prepare for the concert, so I'll take care of the daily chores."

Czerny, who had repeatedly failed to persuade her, had no choice but to let Ursula stay at home at the risk of being affected by the black keys and chalk.

Fortunately, there are only a few days before the concert. According to Fleur, although I don’t know the reason, there should be no problem in short-term exposure to black keys and chalk.

As for preparations for the concert…

"Okay, I need you to remember what it felt like today."

Czerny stopped playing the piano in front of him and looked at the black key holding the recorder with an inexplicably complicated look, his expression still a little dazed.

He could see that Black Key was absent-minded, but he didn't know how to enlighten him.

In fact, the reason why Czerny rejected the Black Keys earlier was because Czerny didn’t like the way the other player played.

Deliberately making the difficult parts look fancy and confusing the passages that don't require so much skill.

But now it's completely different.

In Czerny's eyes, the arrogance, ostentation, and even spirit of the noble young man in front of him seemed to have disappeared.

And as long as they no longer deliberately show off their skills, even if they are a little out of shape, today's black keys can fully meet Czerny's standards.

But it still doesn’t work...

Even though Czerny vaguely guessed that it was Gertrude, he really couldn't stand the black keys' perfunctory treatment of the music at this time.

However, in view of the other party's current mental state, Czerny still said in a gentle tone:

"That's it for today's rehearsal... Black Keys, you've been practicing for so long, are you exhausted?"

"I know that you should have some conflicts with Gertrude, and I have no intention of interfering in your affairs...but if you are feeling uncomfortable, finding someone else to talk to is also an option."

Chapter 375 Witch King: What, are you listening to my music? Funny

"...No need, I just need some time."

At Czerny's expression of concern, Black Key just shook his head, then turned and returned to the guest room.

He didn't trust Czerny.

Even though the other party seems to have a tense relationship with Gertrude, Gertrude is still Czerny's financial sponsor for more than ten years... What's more, can people who hate Gertrude escape her control?

Maybe the musician in front of him has colluded with Gertrude a long time ago, and now he is just testing himself for Gertrude... But whether the other party knows that Gertrude is the evil god of Ursus is still unknown. .

In the ward, Black Key could clearly feel that Gertrude had taken off a mask on him.

But how many masks does she have?

……

After noticing Black Key's rejection, Czerny no longer persisted.

After all, it was not easy to get involved in this matter, and his rash actions might make Black Key's mental condition worse.

'It's still chalky that makes people worry-free! '

Czerny thought of another young man.

Compared with Black Key, Chalk behaved very normally... Although he could feel his fear of Gertrude at the time, he soon returned to normal.

But recently, Czerny occasionally sees Bai Chao and gets distracted.

'One or two are not worrying. '

Looking at the black key's closed guest room door, Czerny rubbed his temples.

'There is also the recent phenomenon that the physical condition of infected people in Xizhao District has improved abnormally...'

After thinking for a while, Czerny finally chose to believe Gertrude and ignore these things for the time being.

He just needs to focus on making the concert a success first.

after all……

Hasn't it always been like this in the Xizhao District for more than ten years?

The great musician Czerny is the backbone of the operation of Xizhao District.

And Ms. Gertrude is the guarantee for the existence of Sunset Zone.

……

In another room in Czerny's home.

"Although saying this may be a bit incomprehensible to you, I still hope that you can go to the Rhode Island ship for treatment with your grandfather."

"Your physical condition is already very serious. Besides..."

Furong, who was collecting chalk blood for examination, paused for a moment.

She still hopes that White Chalk and Black Key will leave Veselheim as soon as possible.

Although she believed that as the lord of Vishelheim, Gertrude could investigate the relationship between the abnormal physical improvement of infected people in the Sunset Zone and Black Key and White Chalk, but time waits for no one after all.

What if in this short period of time, the situation of Black Key and Chalk becomes more serious?

But in the face of Fu Rong's persuasion, Bai Chao went against the norm and firmly refused Fu Rong's request.

"I'm sorry, Miss Furong... I promised Black Key, and I can't break the agreement."

"And you also know the attitude of Ms. Gertrude and Mr. Czerny. I can't ruin that concert because of my own absence."

'What's more...how can I afford to leave Veselheim? '

Looking at the helpless Fu Rong, Bai Ke secretly apologized to her in his heart.

But there are some things that really cannot be said.

Maybe it was because of the old man's ethereal but true words, maybe because of the old man's false but yet inexplicably real emotions that made Bai Ke feel inexplicably true, and some secrets... In short, Bai Ke decided to believe in the earthly voice in his body.

Moreover, even if he had the ability to leave, he would not be able to do anything to the lives of his brother, the grandfather who raised him, the kind-hearted Dr. Sakaz in front of him, the neighbors in Sunset District, and the entire innocent citizens of Vishelheim. Ignore it.

Chalky didn't know that Gertrude assured Black Key that the resonance between the earthly sounds would not harm the lives of infected residents.

But the earthly voice in his body, the confused Witch King, told him something.

'I have a rough idea of ​​what He wants to do...even if it's just some crude and sloppy stitching. '

'Origin Stone Skill is a very delicate technology. The magic circle, energy, emotions, and some characteristics of the caster will all affect the effect of the spell. '

'And the healing aspect of Originium technology is a very complicated field, because if you are not careful or don't pay attention, the excess energy may cause worse effects. '

'I understand Him. He doesn't have the ability to innovate the Origin Stone skills based on mine... nor the wisdom. '

'He can only sort out knowledge, or rearrange and combine it... but due to his own limitations, he cannot innovate in any field other than his own instincts. '

'This is the price of his ability to easily plunder other people's knowledge and bodies. '

'So, if my prediction is correct, He uses the resonance generated by the sounds of the world to prevent the infected person's lifespan from being affected by their own infection... but only the lifespan is not affected. '

'child. '

'Do you know what the Origin Stone is, what troubles and scares you infected people...and even non-infected people? '

……

In the bedroom, Gertrude sat in front of the dressing table, looked in the mirror, and cut off her ridiculously long hair alone...at least it wouldn't drag on the floor like a mop.

As for the broken hair, Gertrude still needs to collect it and use it as casting materials.

Gertrude, who briefly entered the 'Witch King' state, just like some special races of the Sakaz clan, can enhance the power of spells by sacrificing part of her body.

Although the effect is somewhat diminished after exiting that state, it is still better than nothing.

After getting her hair cut, Gertrude looked at her right hand, which had recovered as before and was no longer paralyzed.

'Sure enough, without the bloodline of the Witch King, no matter how many worldly sounds I hold in my hands, I can only get a glimpse of his power? '

She stood up and came to an old gramophone next to the bed. At the same time, she raised her right hand and spread her palm.

Tiny black particles appeared out of thin air in her palm, which gathered together and gradually formed a disc.

When the convergence was complete, the disc fell into Gertrude's hands, even twitching a few times.

It's like it's alive.

'I would rather listen to Dadi's rap than I don't want to listen to these records! '

As Gertrude put the pure black disc into the gramophone, she complained in her heart:

But she still started the gramophone.

This black record is condensed from the tunes played by the Witch King in Black Snake's memory... not just incomplete fragments of earthly sounds.

Even if it is a complete movement that has been considered forbidden music by Letania, Black Snake also has it.

And a lot.

after all……

Before the Witch King climbed to the top of the tower, Black Snake would be invited to appreciate each of his works when they were first born.

'Witch King...'

'Why do you want to shut out the friendship between you and me? '

Chapter 376 Witch King: Black Snake, you are too extreme

"Black Snake, you came just in time. I have just created a work. Those arty aristocrats and empty-headed critics will just clap stupidly when they see my name from the signature on the score, and they can't even mention it to me. Some opinions…”

"Uh... Black Snake, with all due respect, although it is obvious that the score you wrote this time has probably never appeared before, and it is indeed pleasant to the ears, but how can I put it, I always feel that there is an inexplicable incongruity in it."

"Did you swallow Elsie Quint and Gladstone Vernal, two accomplished musicians, hundreds of years ago? I can clearly feel it from your fingering and playing habits... Black Snake, if you want to be a great musician who can go down in history, you can’t resort to plagiarism and stitching!"

"You see, although I am proficient in all music theories and instruments, and can even completely reproduce the performances of so-called famous musicians, I still create my own unique style."

"Well, maybe this is the drawback of your ability. After all, not everyone can be like me, a genius who can do whatever he wants."

"Perhaps stitching like this can be considered a unique style of yours."

……

"Hmph, Black Snake, let me tell you good news. Because the spell model modified by my amazing talent has been widely used and the effect is amazing, the electors have decided that I will become the next president of Leitania. king."

"Oh, sure enough, my damn talents and charm are so damn hard to conceal..."

"I'm really happy today, Black Snake, how about you play a song with me?"

"Just think of it as a celebration."

……

"What's going on? Your performance today is very wrong...is it because I'm about to take office?"

"That's right. After all, you are the Eternal Grand Duke of Ursus, and I am no longer just a free and undisciplined noble of a small town, but have become the king of Leitania."

"I am responsible for my people, and you are responsible for those in Ursus who love and respect you."

"...Haha, who believes it? Black Snake, you can be more honest."

"I don't think our friendship would allow us to turn our backs on each other's countries."

"But I promise you, Black Snake, that my friendship with you will be a bridge between Leitania and Ursus."

"Letania will be Ursus' most loyal ally... Haha, of course, Ursus must also be Letania's most loyal ally."

"After all, we are friends... How can there be any reason for only one party to pay?"

……

"But, it turns out that governing a country is such a difficult thing. I originally thought that it would be enough to enrich people's Originium skills, make people's lives more convenient, and make materials more abundant."

"As a result, those annoying short-sighted nobles, chattering businessmen, and ignorant people... Oh, by the way, there are also those infected people running around restlessly."

"Obviously, as long as you listen to my words, convey my will, and follow my words, everyone can be happy."

"I can't bear it anymore, watch me blow up the natural disaster with one stroke of my staff!"
