Ark's Journey to the Demon God

Angst blinked at the feather beast on his shoulder and said, "For an old man, proper exercise is also essential, isn't it?"

Chapter 30 Angst’s efforts

With a huge crow standing on his shoulder, Senator Angst walked into a high-end restaurant on a cane.

Immediately, a waiter came over and wanted to take off Mr. Angst's coat, and then he saw the crow on Mr. Angst's shoulder.

ga-

The crow neighed, startling the waiter.

"Ah, I'm really sorry." Angst waved his hand and said comfortingly: "As a kid, I'm quite afraid of strangers, so it's better if you don't come close to me."

"understand."

The waiter nodded, and then he inadvertently seemed to see the feathered beast blinking at him.

"That feathered beast is blinking at me? How is this possible?"

The waiter just thought that he was hallucinating because of his busy work, so he didn't go into details.

Councilor Angst met Mr Pitt at the reserved seat.

This gentleman was wearing thick clothes, and against his heavier body, he looked like a balloon with limbs.

Shen Muke suppressed a smile and flapped his wings, which attracted Mr. Pitt's attention.

"Eh...Mr. Angst, you feathered beast..."

"Ah, you said this." Mr. Angst nodded his chin, and then said the excuse he had thought of in advance: "This is a gift from an old friend of mine. Even though it is small, it is very smart! "

Indeed, as smart as a human being.

Shen Muke suppressed his laughter and complained in his heart.

"Ah, this is really interesting. I just don't know where your friend got this treasure."

Shen Muke locked his eyes firmly on Mr. Pitt. In the other man's eyes, he saw unconcealable greed.

"I don't know about this." Mr. Angst shrugged helplessly, and then said: "Let's talk about business."

"Okay okay."

Mr. Pitt took out the document belatedly, but Shen Muke opened [Lamer's Past Recall].

"Show me your background, Pete."

Considering that it was somewhat unethical to use the past for a person who met by chance, Shen Muke didn't read too much and just moved forward a day and a night.

Then, at [noon today], he saw Pete sitting in a luxurious annex.

Mr. Pitt was sitting on a chair. Opposite him was a nobleman in rich clothes.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Shen Muke knew that the nobleman was named Beichman.

Bechmann.

What a coincidence, if you knew the clouds and sparks

The plot, if you are familiar with the folded-eared cat Cheng Shen, then you must know Beheman.

This Beheman is the culprit who sent the Denton brothers to set fire to the Green Spark. In the plot, he was almost killed by Cheng Shan. Thanks to the arrival of Gao Duotin's druid Xia Shuo, he was not killed. The cat's hands were stained with blood, and Bechman escaped with his life.

Shen Muke closed his eyes and stopped prying.

There was no need to pry, for Pete had revealed himself to himself.

This is a pure speculator. He can discuss with Bechmann at noon how to strangle Angst, and he can also discuss investing in the infected community with Angst in the afternoon.

When working with this kind of person, unless you have an absolute advantage and he will take the initiative to curry favor with you, he will always be sitting on the wall.

His stand can only be rented, never purchased.

Shen Muke sighed secretly, thinking that he really couldn't count on this kind of person?It's a pity that Mr. Angst is so enthusiastic...

Or, what can you do from it?

hiss……

Just as he was thinking about it, Shen Muke suddenly heard a strange sound in his ears.

Someone is spying on me?No, I'm just a bird, no one is going to spy on me, it's only Councilor Angst!

Shen Muke stood on Angst's shoulder and turned his head 180 degrees. After turning into a crow, he also had the perspective and structure of a crow——

Through the window of the restaurant, Shen Muke noticed the two people on the street corner:

The reason why I was able to notice it so quickly was that the other person’s demeanor and appearance were too easy to spot!

One of the two people was leaning against the corner, the other was facing each other, and seemed to be talking.

They wore relatively simple suit jackets and hats with the brim of the hat lowered to make themselves appear as inconspicuous as possible. Their eyes were always locked on the restaurant, or on Mr. Angst.

In fact, their dressing up was successful in making them blend in with the crowd, making them seem like just ordinary passers-by.

However, in Shen Muke’s view——

Isn't this the outfit the old godfather wore for the first time in "The Godfather 2"?Are you two cosplaying?Moreover, the bulging bags on your waists are filled with guns or knives?This pretense is not distracting!

Shen Muke complained for a while. At first glance, these two people looked like rookies. They were probably newcomers to the underworld. Where did they come from?

However, judging from the way and behavior of the other party...it seems to be an orthodox gangster method. If the threatening letter that Senator Angst received before was also the work of the other party, then it is basically certain.

The other party is a gangster from Syracuse!

After confirming an identity, Shen Muke breathed a sigh of relief.

Two newcomers to the underworld in Syracuse are nothing to worry about.

In this way, the discussion between Senator Angst and Mr. Pitt ended peacefully.

……

At night, Congressman Victor's cocktail party was held as scheduled. Angst also brought the crow transformed by Shen Muke to attend. This attracted a lot of attention to Congressman Angst. Taking advantage of the lively atmosphere, Angst mentioned it to Congressman Victor again. own opinions.

Councilor Victor listened to his words, pursed his lips, and then pulled Councilor Angst to a secluded place.

"Mr. Angst, my old gentleman, you, alas..." Senator Victor shook his head and said, "I'm serious, can you please stop mentioning this matter."

"Which thing?" Angst blinked and looked at him pretendingly.

"Of course it's about the community of infected people. To be on the safe side, you'd better not mention it again."

"Why is this?" Councilor Angst became serious. "Building a community of infected people and giving them a space to live legally is a great thing that benefits the country and the people! How can we give up for no reason?"

"I know, I know everything." Victor nodded repeatedly, "But Angst, you have to know whether an issue can be realized in Caraton depends on the parliament? The parliament cannot make the decision! Everything should depend on who …”

"Duke Godotin?" Angst was quite disdainful, "The Grand Duke is so high up there that he doesn't care about the life and death of little infected people!"

"You..." Victor looked at Angst helplessly. He looked left and right, and after making sure there was no one nearby, he said, "Why don't you understand? Infected people are destined to be different from ordinary people! You are studying the Origin Stone. Yes, you should know why the infected are always in this situation? They can cast spells without a staff. They are an unstable factor in walking. In the past, we scattered them and caused a lot of commotion... Now you want to take them Get together... When the rioters get together, how big an impact will they have? Why would you propose such a forward-looking and unflattering bill?"

"Congressman Victor, I have to disagree with your point of view!" Angst became serious, and the old man's eyes widened. "In the professional knowledge I have, Source Stone is an energy source that serves people. It does not have a good or bad nature. A series of problems encountered by infected people are all human problems! Let me ask, if the official laws were not too tight, how could the conflicts between infected people and ordinary people be so intense? ? They are just patients. We have misunderstood them in the past. I think my proposal is not forward-looking, but a late reform!"

"You...this...sigh..." Victor had no choice but to say: "For the last time, because of our friendship, I will support you when you submit your proposal on the third of next month, but only for me, you can pull me in

How many votes you get is all up to you, this is the best I can do..."

"That's enough, Victor." Angst smiled, "I will convince more people, and you will never regret supporting my cause!"

Chapter 31 Conscience and Principles

"So, we say that the so-called Originium Disease is essentially an infection of the human body by radioactive minerals. This infection will cause a large extent of structural changes in the human body, which is usually manifested in the form of Use Source Stone skills..."

In the lecture hall of a certain college in Caraton, Mr. Angst was lecturing non-stop.

Shen Muke was sitting in the audience. He did not turn into a crow because pets were not allowed in the college lecture hall, so he changed back into his own clothes and sneaked into the audience disguised as a lecturer.

He just listened to Mr. Angst's eloquent speech for three hours in the audience, and at the same time secretly sighed:

The old man is really going strong with age. He is over 100 years old. He talked non-stop for three hours. He did not show any signs of fatigue. On the contrary, he became more energetic the more he talked!

The original main content of this class should be Origin Stone and Origin Stone Skills.

However, Mr. Angst was so excited that he shared his previous research on Originium disease and the community of infected people.

We all know that in large-scale lecture activities, it is very normal for lecturers and scholars to talk about some personal matters while being excited, and students are also happy to hear some things that are not included in the textbooks and materials.

For example, Shen Muke is like this.

Although Shen Muke didn't know much about the academic expertise Angster talked about, when he mentioned some opinions and research on people infected with Originium Disease, Shen Muke agreed very much.

"You should study more." Shen Muke sighed secretly.

This unexpected private life lasted for half an hour. Angst excitedly introduced to the students his research on the causes of Originium Disease and his treatment ideas. Although the old man was not a professional medical staff for Originium Disease, But his research and ideas are quite reliable.

Angst believes that the main causes of Originium disease are contact with body fluids and respiratory infections. A considerable number of infected people are infected due to contact with highly active Originium products without protection. His ideas for treatment methods are as follows: One is to isolate the source of infection, and it is best to keep patients away from Originium products until they recover.

At the end of his lecture, he also mentioned that bloodline is also one of the important causes of Originium disease infection. Compared with races such as Felin, Ursus, and Kuranta, Sakaz are more susceptible to Originium disease.

What Angst said sounded reliable to Shen Muke. He usually treated the workers at the Royal Dale Armory in the same way, keeping them away from the Source Stone and protecting them at the same time.

The long lecture finally ended, followed by a dinner hosted by the college.

Angst changed into a formal dress and walked leisurely in the banquet hall.Not far away from him was Shen Muke, wearing a black robe, a monocle and a wizard's hat.

"Sir, which college are you from?" Someone came to chat with him, and Shen Muke had to explain to him that he came with Mr. Angst, and then get rid of him as soon as possible.

Unlike Shen Muke, Mr. Angst was surrounded by people at this time, mostly students.

"Mr. Angst, you said before that strictly speaking, infected people are just ordinary patients, so why are so many people in the world prejudiced against infected people?"

Mr. Angst nodded, and then replied: "As for the issue of discrimination against infected people, I have to say that this is a bad misunderstanding. Many people do not understand Origin Stone, let alone Origin Stone Disease, so they follow others' opinions and think that The infected are ominous and monsters, but this is a wrong idea. The infected are not monsters, but people just like us, except they are sick."

Someone else asked: "Since the infected are not unreasonable monsters, then why do various infected riots or other vicious events continue to occur?"

The crime rate of infected people is much higher than that of ordinary people. This is an indisputable fact.

However, Mr. Angst held his eyes on the bridge of his nose and asked the student somewhat seriously: "Son, tell me first, what kind of people are more likely to be infected with Originium Disease?"

"This..." The student's eyes were a little uncertain, and he couldn't answer for a while.

"Miners, and those craftsmen who often deal with Origin Stone." Angst answered for him: "Look, what is the life of these people like? Their lives are filled with Origin Stone products, and their job is to work with Origin Stone. Shi Fangfang, if you have listened to my class before, you will know that under such working conditions, their probability of contracting Originium Disease will be greatly increased!"

"Why do infected people have a high crime rate? Haha, who knows what happened to them after they got Originium? I don't know how other countries treat infected people, but I know that at least in Victoria, once infected with Originium, , then the only option is to be deported or imprisoned! In such an environment, how do you ask the infected to respect morality and law? They can't survive!"

"So you think there's something wrong with Victoria's laws, right?"

hiss--

This question is so acute!

Shen Muke saw the person who asked the question not far away. He was a middle-aged man, not a student or a teacher. Who was he?

Are you here to dig a hole for Mr. Angst?

However Ance

Mr. Te glanced at him and said slowly: "I didn't mean that. I just think that even the great Victoria has its small corners that are difficult to shine. As citizens of the empire, we have the obligation to raise questions. , improve the law.”

Angst shrugged and said: "It just so happens that I am currently promoting the establishment of a community of infected people. If the situation is good enough, then we can provide a higher living environment for the infected people in Caraton. If this [experimental project in Caraton] ] The effect is good enough, I think some people in Londinium will follow suit, and the infected people will have more hope for tomorrow."

……

The noisy banquet ended and Mr. Angst left. He put on his soft hat and held his cane. Shen Muke turned into a crow and stood on his shoulders again.

The night in Caraton is very quiet.

There were not many people on the streets, and mist was rising again, making the whole city appear looming.

Da Da Da Da——

Footsteps sounded, and two figures whose faces were unclear appeared from the mist. They followed Angst's footsteps.

Angst was not alert at all. He kept walking at the same pace as an old man, and then two people caught up with him, one on the left and the other on the right.

"Mr. Angst?"

"It's me, what's the matter?"

“Your lectures are really interesting and we benefited a lot from listening to them!”

Are you a student at Carleton College?

Angst breathed a sigh of relief and said: "If I can help you obtain correct knowledge and rational thoughts, that is my greatest wish..."

"You said at the banquet that you would insist on promoting the establishment of a community for infected people?"

"In fact, it's not just this." Angst sighed and said: "If possible, I would also like to improve the working environment of ordinary people... Now they have to work more than ten hours a day to get full salary. This is obviously It's unreasonable, but... take your time, for now, let's finalize the issue of the Karaton infected community first..."
