Chapter 1047 The Era of Livelihood and Exuberance

In fact, even if the several family leaders at the scene did not express objections, Vivian herself was not very interested in serving as the "Speaker of the Shadow Parliament", which was laborious and had little benefit, because she knew that the new order of the supernatural camp would be very chaotic at the beginning. , she knew that those ethnic groups with constant intrigues and quarrels would not obey the restrictions honestly. She knew that there were still many people who did not care about a stable and prosperous new life. They just wanted to rush out of the shelter and make a bad breath in human society. , and even some Lengtouqing simply hope to show their strength in front of "weak" mortals, and these messy things will annoy her.

More importantly, Vivian felt that she had a more important mission and existence value beside Hao Ren - she had to cook, mop the floor, wash Hao Ren's clothes and change Doudou's water. The Countess You adults are so busy that you don't have time to deal with issues like "the new world order."

But it was one thing that she was not willing to serve as the Speaker, and it was another thing to be pointed out in this way by others. The Countess was immediately embarrassed and unhappy. She really wanted to beat up the juniors in front of her, but she She thought about it and felt that she had to pay attention to her image as an elder, so she could only smile calmly: "I haven't slapped you for three days - I haven't slapped you for hundreds of years. You are all itchy, right?"

Representatives from all parties quickly denied it, while Vivian waved her hand magnanimously: "Okay, actually what you said makes sense. I am not suitable to be the 'speaker' in all aspects - seniority does not mean ability. , I know I’m not good at this. You can nominate your own candidates, but I think I still have a special seat in this ‘Shadow Parliament’, right?”

"Of course," Gene Lucas put his right hand on his chest and bowed slightly, with thoughtful and elegant etiquette, "Your Excellency the Countess will always have a place in the Shadow Council, just like you have in all associations, secret societies, and councils throughout the ages. Your special place.”

When Hao Ren heard this, he was immediately curious. He leaned next to Vivian and whispered: "Special position? What does it mean?"

"Just like today, we broke into their high-level meeting and pointed out the situation." Vivian said casually.

As the oldest alien in the world, as a person who has met almost every supernatural group in the world, participated in every epic event, and was the most powerful life form on this planet in its heyday, Vivian has unique qualities in any camp. An unwritten privilege, this privilege is not just as simple as "giving her some face", but that if she is willing, she can express her opinion on any supernatural force, and this opinion will be greatly respected.

She is a sage and elder recognized by all forces - even if she is poor, even if she is driven crazy by people every now and then, even if she is a weirdo who wanders around the human world all day long and likes to live with humans, she still has this transcendent spirit. treatment.

Vivian has never participated in any alien forces. She does not belong to any family, nor does she have a family under her own name. She has also not participated in various associations organized by aliens. But if she wants to express her thoughts on these forces, all Everyone must listen honestly, even werewolves. Although she had many fights with other ethnic groups back then, when disputes arose among these ethnic groups, she also acted as a "passing expert" to arbitrate and mediate more than once.

When she was in a frenzy, everyone regarded her as a moving natural disaster, but when she was calm, everyone respected her.

Vivian is such a great contradictory being in the circle of supernatural beings, moody and awe-inspiring. Today, when the family representatives in the Athens Sanctuary are holding a high-level meeting, she can break in and criticize. Tomorrow, after the establishment of the Shadow Council, if she is unhappy, she can still run to their headquarters and have a thunder. She is tacitly accepted. Qualified to participate in any meeting of any ethnic group, this is Vivian's "special position".

Without thousands of years of life and experience in the mythical age, it is difficult for ordinary people to understand this phenomenon.

Hao Ren doesn't understand either, and he has no interest in understanding. He can almost never feel how great Vivian is in the circle of supernatural creatures - of course, he will occasionally marvel, but after he is done marveling, he will In this case, he prefers to marvel at Vivian's cooking skills and her wealth that she can lose all her money when she goes out to buy a popsicle...

After the general concept of "Shadow Parliament" was thrown out and accepted by everyone, Hao Ren no longer had much interest in this matter. He is a neutral observer, so he has no interest in participating in the management and control of any force. At most, he monitors the situation and only intervenes if the situation gets out of control. So he left the conference room and went outside with Vivian to get some air.

Others move freely.

Calm has returned to the square outside the meeting hall. There are only a few people walking around in the empty square. The people who gathered to make trouble before were like senior extras. When the filming started, the crowd was so excited that they dispersed as soon as the lunch box was packed. Got it all clean.

They didn't even leave any household garbage behind. This quality impressed Hao Ren...

"They were not like this before." Vivian stood next to Hao Ren and looked at the empty square, then turned slightly to look at the meeting hall behind her. "These races were originally violent maniacs and war criminals. They would fight if they disagreed. Elements, although they also engage in intrigues, they are all "above and aboveboard intrigues". But I didn't expect that they have learned these tricks of human beings now... building momentum through public opinion, exerting pressure from inside and outside, expressing their positions in roundabout ways, hiding and hiding. They are competing for interests. Tsk tsk...Although I had known that they had been changing, this change is still surprising."

"Because they have long been attached to human civilization," Hao Ren said casually, "so they are becoming more and more like humans."

"You seem to have some questions?" Vivian looked at Hao Ren with a smile.

"I just didn't expect that they could really be persuaded to come down." Hao Ren scratched his hair. He knew that Vivian had delicate thoughts, but he didn't expect that the doubts in his mind could be seen so easily. "I thought they ******** wants to regain its glory."

Vivian just smiled and looked up at the city streets in the distance. After a long time, she suddenly said: "Did you notice that this new street uses electric lights?"

Hao Ren: "Huh?"

"Actually, it's not you and I who persuaded these people - although our negotiation today was also very helpful, these guys are very stubborn, and what really determines their behavior is their own judgment," Vivian crossed her arms. , the corner of his mouth turned up, "Even if we don't come, they won't really launch any counterattack on the earth, and they won't allow anyone else to do this. Do you think they are stupid? They have long enjoyed the convenience of modern society, and they know this How comfortable the world has been transformed by humans. The development of humans for thousands of years has not only replaced the status of the "gods", but more importantly, it has developed the world from a barbaric state to the current level. This is an enjoyment. In this era, civil aviation aircraft can fly faster than any vampire, the tools produced by modern industry are more convenient than anything in ancient times, mobile phones are more convenient than communication magic, and tablet computers can crush all classical entertainment. Those who are immersed in this ...I've long been in a state of dissatisfaction.

"So, do you think they would allow someone to destroy this comfortable and beautiful era?

"Of course they don't allow it. They have to enjoy all this more. What they want is profit, not war and ruins. Only people who have nothing will fight with passion, because they only have passion, and in the shelter Any guy who is not too miserable will not be like this... They have too much, so they will not give it up easily. All they want is to enjoy this era more freely and simply. So in Demon Hunt After people disappeared, what they thought about was not at all about fighting for hegemony from humans, because this 'hegemony' meant the barren and barbaric old world. What they wanted was just to get out of the shelter and embrace this new world openly and openly. And As long as these big families have set this unspoken rule, those little guys jumping around are just pawns they throw out to wave the flag and make noise. The farce in the square was not for some reason to set off a counterattack, it was just some big family The family muddies the waters just to fish."

Hao Ren thought for a while and shook his head: "It's too confusing and I can't understand it."

"To be honest, I don't quite understand their thinking, but whether they are humans or aliens, they have developed in such a noisy way for thousands of years," Vivian curled her lips, "It is very troublesome and boring, and many people enjoy it endlessly."

Hao Ren smiled helplessly and said nothing. He just stood next to Vivian and looked up at the chaotic shadow dome of the shelter.

Soon, this dome will be useless.
