The immortal black snake just wants to live simply

Cosiche didn't like spending a lot of energy on such trivial matters.

After all, Isamara is still nearby.

……

Time goes back to the days when Cosiche served as a dog-headed counselor for Hai Hei in the sea.

Under Kosiche's unremitting efforts to "share the burden" of the large group, the evolution speed of most sea heirs has slowed down.

Some heirs even fought over the competition for nutrients.

Isamara had never seen anything like this before and didn't know what to do. .

He felt that it was wrong to waste nutrients, and internal fighting would only be a meaningless consumption of resources.

So Isamara wants to get rid of these black sheep, heirs who wantonly waste nutrients.

But Ige used his "thin" body to stand in front of Isamara and persuaded:

"Isamara, you can't do this."

"Why?"

Through communication with Kosich, Isamara's language function has been very perfected.

I don’t know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing for the land of Terra.

Although Isamara still likes the feeling when she and Ige became one and connected.

This is the heir's instinct, a biological mechanism used to support self-sacrifice.

"It's good for large groups..."

Cosiche told the other party [Natural selection, survival of the fittest], [Wisdom is also part of strength], [Be more tolerant to your compatriots], [Give me a 'little' time, and I will prove to you that this is Right] and other words, trying to make Isamara give up taking action against these [buds of corruption].

And Isamara was indeed deceived after listening to Ige's words.

After all, Haiji's infighting or something like that is something that has never happened to a large group of people.

Then the only explanation is that Ige, who claimed to have returned from "study abroad" on the earth, attempted to revitalize the ethnic group.

Ige had also communicated with Daqun a long time ago, and wanted to hand over the social operation methods of some races on the earth that he knew to Daqun, so that Daqun could see if they could extract the best from them and discard the dross.

Then you will not affect your compatriots in making contributions to the larger group.

'(Usas swears) Why is this heir so sharp? I feel like he has become a lot smarter... Could it be caused by communicating with me?It seems that I have to find an opportunity to slip away. '

Chapter 47 The rebellious daughter Tallulah

When Big Bob and his party arrived at the entrance of the cave where the knight's treasure was located, they found that the ground was full of bounty hunters lying on the ground and Grani, who was seriously injured but still guarding the entrance of the cave.

"Big Bob, you're here..."

Looking at the big bob that appeared with the members of the Integration Movement, Grani immediately realized that something was wrong.

Big Bob did not appear to be being held hostage. On the contrary, there was a faint tendency among those members of the integration movement to be led by Big Bob.

"...Are you from the Integrated Movement? Aren't you usually active in the Ursus area?"

"...Of course it's for the treasure."

Big Bob has not denied his identity as a member of the Integration Movement.

……

"Big Bob, are you really going to quit the integration movement?"

"Yes."

In a tent at the integrated sports camp,

Big Bob looked at Tallulah, who was planning the future development of the Integrated Movement.

He decided to tell the leader directly that he wanted to break away from the integration movement.

In any case, Tallulah did take care of him in the Integration Movement. If he left without saying goodbye, Big Bob would be in trouble.

He even organized the uniforms of himself and his companions from the Integration Movement and planned to return them to Tallulah.

"I would like to ask, is there anything about the integrated movement that disgusts you? You can bring it up and I can see if I can improve it."

"...No, the atmosphere of the integrated movement is very good. The problem is not the integrated movement, but me and my companions."

Big Bob said seriously.

"Although it is very disrespectful to say this, in my opinion, the integration movement is undoubtedly seeking its own death."

After listening to Big Bob's words, Tallulah was silent for a while.

The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became heavy.

Big Bob also knew that his words were an insult to this idealist, so he was ready to bear Tallulah's wrath.

Just when Big Bob tensed up, planning to run away quickly if Tallulah showed the slightest intention of attacking.

Tallulah smiled bitterly.

"You said something similar to my adoptive father."

"Adoptive father? You mean, the Duke of Cosiche..."

"Yes, he once told me that I and my ideals made him feel ridiculous."

Tallulah paused and added:

"He told me that if infected people cannot be completely cured, then don't have the illusion that infected people and non-infected people can live in harmony."

Big Bob listened in silence.

The territory of Duke Cosiche is already the most tolerant place in the Ursus Empire towards the infected.

It's not that he didn't want to live there, but the procedures for joining the Duchy of Cosiche were too cumbersome.

It not only requires complex examinations such as interpersonal relationships, psychological assessments, and talent value weighing.

You also have to be able to tolerate the dominant atmosphere there.

Big Bob wants to live in the sun, but not under surveillance.

So he chose to go to Colombia, which is more liberal.

There, people are more tolerant of infected people, and they are not under constant surveillance like in the Duchy of Cosiche.

"You still remember what I said in order to add members to the integration movement, right?"

"of course I remember."

Big Bob said in a dull voice.

"As long as we wear a mask, everyone can be an integrated sport."

"Yes."

Tallulah's voice became passionate.

“I don’t think that all non-infected people will persecute infected people. Among those people, there must be people with lofty ideals who strive to change the situation of infected people! I also don’t think that all infected people should rightfully fight for my rights. Paying the price with your life for your ideals.”

"We should unite all those who can unite, reduce our enemies and increase our companions."

Tallulah stared at Big Bob's helmet.

She didn't know how Big Bob looked at this time, but she wanted to tell her true thoughts.

She couldn't help but recall the contemptuous attitude she received from her adoptive father when she told her ideals to him.

"Tallulah, it seems that I can only teach you knowledge, but not wisdom."

Sitting on the Duke's throne, Cosich looked condescendingly at Tallulah at the foot of the steps.

He couldn't understand why Tallulah would give up the luxurious life in the Duke's Palace for such an unrealistic dream.

Obviously as long as she obeys, he can't let her be a duke for a while.

After all, Cosiche doesn't want to have to deal with the tedious affairs of the territory while on vacation.

But the other party refused, and even took the initiative to become an infected person in order to implement his own ideas.

This makes Kosiche angry!

He had already given up on taking Tallulah.

After all, after raising her for many years, she has developed some feelings for her.

But the other party actually took the initiative to become an infected person!

Doesn't his stupid daughter know that this will bring him a lot of trouble?

Not to mention whether the nobles in Victoria who support Drac will cause trouble for themselves, and whether the royal family in Dayan who pays attention to their kinship will be dissatisfied.

Just for those interest groups within Ursus who are hostile to the infected, seeing Cosiche's nominal heir become an infected person will cause tension between them and Cosiche.

They would be worried that Cosiche, who was too 'indulgent' in his treatment of infected people, would be so permissive that he would allow an infected person to become a duke.

Not even the Duke of [Cosiche]!

"Tallulah, if you really want to do something for the infected, why don't you start in my territory first?"

Koscich asked, confused.

"……sorry."

Tallulah just looked up at her nominal adoptive father stubbornly.

Over the years, she discovered that there was something cold and intellectual about Cosich that frightened Tallulah.

It is true that in the territory of the Duke of Cosiche, the infected can also have decent jobs.

No non-infected person attempts to persecute the infected person under the eyes of the Happiness and Security Committee.

Because there are also infected investigators in the Happiness and Security Committee.

Even with Kosich's propaganda, some non-infected people have accepted the existence of infected people.

But when Tallulah asked Duke Kosich why he only maintained his own territory despite having the ability to change the situation of all infected people in Ursus, the words Kosich revealed frightened Tallulah.

"Of course it is to make the infected people under my care more pious."

Koscich answered his adopted daughter's doubts in a matter-of-fact tone.

"The desires of the people are endless, Tallulah. When they are hungry, those who can satisfy them will be surrounded by the crowd; when they are suffering, those who can ensure their safety will be loved by them."

"But once they are able to address their most basic survival needs, they will want to taste more delicious food, want a more comfortable life, and even want to experience the feeling of dominating others."

"The better the overall environment of the infected, the more contemptuous they will be of my favor."

"I don't want to waste a lot of energy trying to satisfy their growing desires and gain their loyalty."

"But if the overall environment for the infected is difficult, then as long as I meet their requirements that ordinary people are accustomed to, I can have a group of loyal and powerful infected people."

"Of course, we must also pay attention to the feelings of those who are not infected, and do not sacrifice the good for the bad..."

Kosich began to educate Tallulah with great interest on how to balance the relationship between the two.

But Tallulah didn't hear a word after that.

She had sensed something of Cosiche's nature.

Only then did she realize that she and Kosiche were not from the same group.

But it was clearly because he saw the difference between the infected people under the Kosich territory and the infected people outside that he decided to take the path of changing the situation of the infected people.

But this did not shake Tallulah's determination to fight for the cause of the infected.

She knew it would be difficult for her to change the mind of Cosich, an immortal.

But she still decided to use her own way to realize her ideals.

……

Chapter 48 Grumbo: I was deceived

“The concept of integrated movement is to help infected people change their current situation.”

Tallulah said to Big Bob.
