The immortal black snake just wants to live simply

Moreover, he feels that even if he is not in the best condition, he is not without the strength to fight...

Then He was pressed down on the snow.

The other party didn't seem to have any intention of hurting him. Instead, he kept chirping and gesticulating with his hands.

But in the end, the other party seemed to give up communicating with different languages, and put his hand on His head, which was beaten and lying on the snow.

Realizing that the other party's will was invading his brain, Yeragond felt unprecedented fear.

Although He has protection for his consciousness, it is only a matter of time before it is broken through.

This was the first time He faced a life and death crisis.

His body has been restricted and cannot teleport away.

Just when he was about to give up the protection of his own will and instead use up his last bit of strength to spread his voice and make the children hide, the other party also broke through the protection of his consciousness.

'……Hello? '

……

When he recalled their encounter, Yeragond still felt a little angry.

He was pressed on the snow for three whole days and three nights, face down!

The subsequent prank on Coscich was just a small revenge.

……

then.

Kosich looked at Yeragond under him, lowered his head and pondered.

He has never encountered such a stupid beast.

Helping short-lived species to suppress natural disasters only results in a lack of energy?

What a good old man.

This originally gave Kosiche an opportunity at that time, an opportunity to harvest the body of the giant beast.

But Cosich gave up.

The body and will are like machines and operators. The more advanced the machine, the more skillful the operator is.

And Kosiche's current will is not enough to allow him to exert the strength of the giant beast.

Every behemoth is unique.

In other words, their manipulation methods are different.

This was too difficult for the young Cosiche at the time.

Moreover, He and Yeragond had no deep hatred, it was just a misunderstanding caused by the language barrier.

A friendly giant beast is much better than a simple body.

'Just use my Cosiche's eloquence and personal charm, and let's turn our hostility into friendship! '

"……Hello?"

There is no way, neither the self in [memory] nor the present self have ever encountered this situation!

……

"How about I take you for a walk? Don't worry, no one will find us two under my spiritual suggestion. The last time you came here was more than ten years ago. You don't know, in the past few years, we have The style has changed a lot..."

Cosiche and Jeragonde walked together in the street.

The two chatted while walking on the road, and bought some of Kjerag's unique snacks.

"You don't need to finish your job as captain of the guard?"

"The saint has known my identity for a long time, and she will help me cover it up."

"What is this? My boss is my subordinate? You are so boring."

"Much better than a certain Duke who likes to go around incognito for private visits."

The two people quarreled while eating and slowly moved towards the Holy Mountain.

Even though Yeragond could teleport and bring Kosich up directly, both of them actually enjoyed the process.

The friendship between two immortals is also similar to that of short-lived ones.

That is to waste their long time with nonsense.

Perhaps, only when faced with the existence of Kosich, who is suspected of being of the same race, Yeragond will not remain like an old mother like he treats the children he shelters.

Chapter 20 Cosiche: This son of Silver Ash is so terrifying that Yeragond cannot keep him.

On the way to the Holy Mountain, Yeragond still put his hand on Kosich's shoulder and took him to teleport back to the Holy Residence.

It was too cold during the journey to heaven, and Cosiche's body was very afraid of the cold.

'There is no need for Cosciché to suffer. '

They appeared at the only stove in the holy abode.

There had never been a stove here before Jeragonde met Cosiche.

After all, Yeragond itself is not afraid of the cold.

But his friend hated the cold.

"I heard in the tavern that Kalan Trading, a company responsible for the import and export of Kjerag, was established not long ago... Is your Kjerag finally planning to contact the outside world?"

Koscich sat casually by the fire and took off his heavy sweater, leaving only his white coat.

He has a strange sense of ritual for each of his bodies.

"I have never prohibited my children from communicating with the outside world, but some children may have gotten used to being under my protection and become less and less willing to face the cruelty of the outside world."

Jeragond raised the fire in the stove and filled it with firewood.

"You are still too soft-hearted... If you directly give orders in the name of [Yeragond], allowing them to learn knowledge from the outside world and actively communicate with the outside world, with your status in their hearts, will anyone dare to openly oppose it? "

Kosich put his hands close to the stove and said casually.

"...I will not interfere with their choices."

Yeragond hesitated.

"You are too indulgent to them... However, there is indeed a smart person among your children."

"It's Enthiodis Shivaash, right?"

"Indeed...but what I didn't expect is that he is the brother of your current saint. Haha! Taking your sister to control your brother, no wonder you didn't interfere in the operation of Kalan trade. As the god of Kjerag, you also Underneath that boy's indifferent appearance, there must be a heart that still retains idealistic fantasies. This is what I observed when I was idle in Victoria's body, let alone in the land of Kjerag. You don’t know…such a person must value family ties.”

"...If you continue to speculate on me with your dirty heart, I will bury your body in the snow on the road to heaven."

"I'm sorry... I'm just a little worried about you. If the Kalan trade is not under your control, the people of Kjerag's faith in you may be shaken."

"I have never needed their faith, and I would be very happy if the children could make their own way."

"...You still know too little about those short-lived species."

'Those short-lived feelings have the shortest shelf life.

Their lifespan is too short.

They will build a temple for you and offer their faith because of their previous protection.

But if they feel like they have the ability to protect themselves, they become stronger.

I will abandon you without hesitation.

What's more, they will break your body and imprison your spirit, so that you can only contribute your strength to them in humiliation.

So I never leave my destiny to them, nor do I feel how sincere their beliefs are.

If you continue to let them be free, one day you will be left with nothing when faced with the betrayal of the children you love.

Your idols will be smashed, your power will be stolen, and your merits will be erased.

Your love for them will be forgotten by them.

They never considered you one of their own.

But it doesn't matter.

I will protect you when you are betrayed by them.

Who makes you my friend, the immortal black snake? '

"what?"

"By the way, there is a lab report here. Could you please take a look~"

Kosich abruptly changed the subject, and Yeragond did not pursue the question any further.

They know that the values ​​between the two are different.

Kosiche believes that those short-lived species can threaten him, but they can also help his [creatures].

Yeragond, on the other hand, believes that the short-lived species in Kjerag are pitiful and weak [children] who still need to grow up.

But that doesn't mean their friendship is flawed.

Yeragonde knew that what he just said was just that Kosich was worried about him and wanted to help him solve the problem.

Cosiche made Yeragonde a friend because of Yeragonde's tolerance and kindness, which made Cosiche feel safe.

They respect the differences in values ​​between the two sides and seek common ground while reserving differences.

……

Yeragond looked at the experimental report in his hand and frowned.

Cosiche had taught other languages ​​on Yeragonde Terra, so it was not difficult to understand this experimental report.

"Don't you know this question?"

Jeragond put down the report in his hand and took the Victoria black tea made by Cosiche.

Every time I come to Cosiche, I bring some specialties from outside.

"Would I still ask you if I knew?"

Kosich looked through Kjerag's collection of books.

These books record the history and culture of Kjerag, and Kosich is quite interested in these things.

"I suddenly found myself one day when I was sheltering the Kjerag people."

Yeragond explained, taking a sip of Victoria tea.

"It's strange. I've protected the people of Ursus for so long, but I'm not sure."

Kosich said doubtfully,

"...What did you say? No, that's not right! Are you a boy or a girl?!"

"I haven't thought about it yet."

Kosiche nimbly caught the black tea that Jeragonde almost dropped to the ground when he let go due to shock.

And Yeragond still looked at him with disbelief.

Who would have thought that a good friend who has been with him for many years, or even a childhood sweetheart (from the perspective of a giant beast and an immortal), is a thing of unknown gender!

Yelagund had always thought that Kosich was a male. After all, except for the weird body that Kosich used when he met her for the first time, he used a male body the rest of the time.

Cosich explained:

"Because of my abilities, I'm actually not in a hurry to fix myself."

After all, for Coscich, gender doesn't really matter that much.

Even He himself couldn't figure out how He was surviving on this earth now.

In order to survive in this world until the end of all things, He developed his will into all kinds of strange things.

"Are you willing to be a volunteer and fill out this investigation report? Don't worry, I will help you hide your specific identity and other information."

Cosich was puzzled by Jeragond's shock and tried to persuade Jeragond to fill in his own thoughts on the subject in the research report.
