The immortal black snake just wants to live simply

……

"...Ah, brainwashing, Black Snake, I think some of you are too extreme."

"If I wipe out all their greed by external force, then why don't I go further and directly make the melody of happiness echo in their minds forever? Although this is very difficult, in fact... it is no better than me helping you develop [Mortal The ability to say something must be known is even more difficult.”

"Origin Stone Technique is the primary productive force! As long as I continue to study Origin Stone Technique, one day, the problems that are currently plaguing Letania and myself will no longer be a problem."

"After all, I am a genius!"

"……why are you laughing!"

……

"Black Snake, I know you care about me, but are you too lenient?"

"As for so-called politics...please ask yourself, are you using so-called power tactics?"

"Your ability is the basis for the successful operation of your territory. I don't want to be too rude, Black Snake... You do have a lot of knowledge, but have those skills really been digested by you?"

"The knowledge that is integrated into memories, beliefs, and emotions, those inseparable parts of other people's lives... have you really mastered it?"

"The vast knowledge and consciousness bring you more than just benefits... You can't bear more pressure now, which is why you don't become the Emperor of Ursus."

"What's more, Black Snake...you are the Eternal Duke of Ursus."

"And I am now the king of Leitania."

"I need to take responsibility for my people."

……

In the morning, Gertrude opened her eyes from her soft and comfortable bed.

She cast a spell casually, a faint light flashed, and the gramophone next to the bed that was still playing "Forbidden Zone" fell into pieces.

The black record also melted into tiny black snakes, crawling back along Gertrude's eyes.

'Strange, why do I dream about him in the past?How could I dream about a dead person? '

Black Snake was a little confused.

As a conscious life form, he rarely dreams.

What's more, since he was born, he has never fallen asleep completely and completely, so most of his dreams are vague to him.

Just like the thoughts that are constantly born in the subconscious of ordinary people, these dreams cannot even attract the attention of the black snake.

After all, there are too many, too complex, and too irrelevant.

'...'

Some uneasy thoughts began to arise in Black Snake's heart.

Gertrude got up, walked to the closet, and selected a more dignified-looking gray dress from the dazzling array of clothes.

Then he walked to the dressing table, put the communicator aside, and started putting on makeup.

As a qualified Leitanian noblewoman, makeup is also part of the aristocratic etiquette. It is a way of expressing respect for guests and showing one's own aesthetics.

"...Dear Count Stroro, what do you do for me?"

A magnetic and relaxed voice came from the communication.

If the employees of [Purple Cat Reading] were nearby, they would definitely be able to recognize the source of the sound.

The [Boss] of the Capt Group - Capt Lacey.

Black Snake pays great attention to disguise and the subjective logic of each incarnation.

Even if those bodies have to work towards the same goal, they must have their own logical reasons.

Both Gertrude and Capt were involved too much, and Black Snake is not yet ready to reveal its identity.

and so……

A nobleman who carries out taboo experiments in order to continuously climb up the ladder of power, status, and wealth, and a businessman who wants to further expand the Leitanian market... It may be possible for the two to cooperate.

On the streets of Vesselheim, the purple cats roaming freely in [Purple Cat Reading] are the eyes of the [Boss], an extension of his Origin Stone skills, and the threads used to manipulate destiny in his hands...

Likewise, it is also the current Viseheim, the best sacrifice for the Black Snake to descend with more will.

Chapter 377 Gertrude: Keep your voice down, your brother is already asleep

"[Boss], all employees of Vishelheim [Purple Cat Reading] and other industries under the group's name have been evacuated. In addition, in order to avoid attracting attention, we have redeployed a batch of [production materials] to maintain the industry's stability. Operation."

"How's the confidentiality work going?"

"Please rest assured that those [production materials] will only think that this is a temporary task issued by the group, and that freedom and the opportunity to become a regular member are close at hand. However, BOSS, those cats..."

"Don't worry about those Philimmons. Although I don't know why Gertrude needs so many Philimmons, the bargaining chips promised to the group are enough... As long as her plan succeeds, then Letania's The Captors may be able to secure the support of an Elector."

"As expected of [Boss], you are really far-sighted and have a unique vision. I remember that many years ago, the group broke through the blockade of Victoria and arrived in Letania. You personally reached a cooperation with the count who was about to become the elector..."

"Don't take it for granted. She may not become an elector yet."

"You mean..."

"Hmph! That pretentious and ambitious woman must have hidden some things about the group... But we don't need to worry about these. How can you invest without taking any risks?"

"...Is that Earl that troublesome?"

"It's not just the count that's troublesome, but there are some things... you don't need to know too much, understand?"

"Yes, [Boss]."

On an aircraft with purple cat head graffiti painted on its exterior, a well-dressed middle-aged Caprini man hung up the communicator.

He is the general manager of the Captor Group's Vishelheim division in Letania [Purple Cat Reading], and he is also the last official employee of the Captor Group to evacuate Vishelheim.

The rest of the official staff had already evacuated before the Black Keys landed in the city.

Through the glass next to him, he looked at Vesselheim, which was getting smaller and smaller. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head.

Senior employees of Capte Group know very well that if [the boss] does not tell the riddle, but directly refuses to tell employees relevant information...

That means that the leakage of this information will have a bad impact on the boss's already successful plan... Even letting employees know about it will cause damage.

The middle-aged man thought for a moment and finally decided not to think about anything.

It’s better to go to Dosores first to enjoy the rare vacation approved by [the boss].

As for work...

Before the boss gives further instructions, he does nothing and is a good and dedicated employee!

……

In a noisy tavern in the Xizhao District, Black Key, who was already drunk, took off his aristocratic clothes and wore civilian clothes and handed the wine in his hand to Bai Chao, who was next to him who had not touched any alcohol.

"Drink, Bai Chuo, I bought you the wine today!"

Faced with Black Key's invitation, Bai Ke quickly gave up.

Originally, it was because he was worried about Black Key. After persuading him to no avail and Czerny's acquiescence, he accompanied Black Key to the tavern.

Looking around at the noisy and differently-dressed drinkers, Bai Chao felt a little nervous.

After all, he had never stepped into a place like this before.

"Although it's not as good as the winemaker in Utica, this tavern still has a few bottles of Gaul's treasures... Not bad."

Seeing Bai Chuo's refusal, Black Key did not force him. Instead, he picked up the wooden wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Black Key has never been to this kind of place before.

He originally planned to confide some things to Bai Chao, but in the end he decided to bury everything in his stomach.

After all, even if you tell Bai Chuo about your fears, what will it change?

If Gertrude is really the evil god of Ursus, telling Bai Chuo this kind of news will undoubtedly harm his brother.

But if you can't talk, how can you alleviate your fears and the noisy auditory hallucinations in your mind?

Alcohol is the answer Black Key chose to numb himself.

"Don't worry, I'm very aware of my drinking capacity. Such a drink will not affect my practice tomorrow, not to mention..."

Black Key, with his face flushed and his eyes almost unable to open, muttered:

"Our practice...is it really meaningful?"

After saying this, he closed his eyes and lay on the table.

Bai Ke looked at the drunk Heijian from the side, hesitated for a moment, and wanted to go to the boss to settle the bill.

But at this moment, with the sound of a group of hurried footsteps and the sound of the door being pushed open, the drinkers in the tavern fell silent.

The few drinkers and half-drunk drunkards who had not yet gotten over the situation were so frightened that they sobered up when they saw the neatly dressed and serious-looking Leitanian gendarmes coming out of the door. Make a sound.

Especially when they saw Gertrude, who was surrounded by gendarmes and whose eyes were constantly scanning back and forth among the crowd, they all lowered their heads and did not dare to look at her.

Gertrude is indeed loved by people in the Sunset District, but this does not mean that the lord of Veselheim lacks prestige in the eyes of the people.

How could a weak female aristocrat establish a gathering area for infected people despite everyone's opinions?

……

"I want to reserve the venue. Can I trouble you to leave immediately? I will pay for the drinks tonight."

Gertrude smiled gently, but the cold sabers and javelins in the hands of the gendarmes who deliberately revealed a path at the door represented that there was actually no room for rejection of these seemingly gentle words.

No matter how friendly Gertrude behaves, there is one thing that the civilians of Veselheim will never forget.

She is a noble.

And nobles, in Leitania, mean being right in front of common people like them.

Bai Chuo watched the drinkers around him leave the table one after another. He was planning to quickly pull up the still-drowsy black key to blend in, but when he saw Gertrude's eyes looking straight towards him, he realized that the other party It was for the two of them.

The owner and employees of the tavern were about to leave, but were stopped by the military police.

"The lady wants to book the place and pay for the drinks, but you're not going to provide service?"

As a result, the tavern owner and employees could only return to their respective jobs obediently, and at the same time hurriedly cleaned up the wine bottles and stains on the wine table.

Gertrude waved her hand to signal the military police to disperse, then walked slowly to the wine table where Black Key and Chalk were sitting alone.

"Chalk."

Gertrude stopped Bai Chao from trying to wake up the sleeping Black Key, put a finger in front of her lips, and said with a smile:

"There are some things that I don't want your [brother] to know~"

Looking at Gertrude in front of him, a little cold sweat broke out on his chalky forehead.

Although the old voice in his ears appeared again, trying to calm the fear in Bai Luo's heart, the uneasiness still appeared in Bai Luo's heart again.

'Why did she add an accent to the word [brother]?Could it be that……'

'Is she ready to break up? '

Chapter 378 Black Key: Bright Eyes JPG

"Baike, I have always believed that meaningless suspicion will reduce the efficiency of communication between people, and will also turn the originally happy ending into tragedy."

"Leitania's poems and writers like this kind of story very much. Friendships broken down because of misunderstandings, love stained with blood because of suspicion, betrayals born out of suspicion... these could have been avoided."

"With good communication and a little more trust, the protagonists in these tragedies could have had better outcomes."

"Bai Chuo, I guess you should remember who you are, and also think about whose blood is flowing through you and Black Key... and what kind of coveted works you have on your body."

"To tell you the truth, Bai Ke, now that things have happened, my plan can no longer be shaken."

"You don't have to try to resist me. Even if you don't want to play at Czerny's concert, it won't have much impact on me... It just reduces the chance of success of the experiment and makes your brother The probability of death just increases.”

"You can make what I want to do public, but where are the publicity channels for you in Vishelheim? Who will believe you?"

"The reason I'm still communicating with you now is just because... I hope the ending won't be too embarrassing."

"The resonance of the earthly sound has deteriorated the bodies of the infected people in the Sunset Zone..."

Bai Chuan looked angrily at the impenitent Gertrude in front of him, and then quickly looked at the military police around him.

In addition to the external vigilance, there are still military police monitoring the place. To be precise, they are monitoring Bai Chuo in case he suddenly breaks out.
