In fact, even if several family leaders at the scene did not express objections, Vivienne herself did not have much interest in serving as the "Shadow Council Speaker" who worked hard and had no benefit, because she knew that the new order of the supernatural camp would inevitably be very chaotic at the beginning. She knows that those ethnic groups with constant intrigue and suspicion will not obediently obey the constraints, and she knows that there are still many people who don't care about a stable and prosperous new life, they just want to rush out of the shelter and vent their anger in human society , and even some stunned young people simply hope to show their strength in front of "weak" mortals, and these messy things will annoy her very much.
More importantly, Vivienne feels that she has a greater mission and existence value by Hao Ren's side - she has to cook, mop the floor, wash Hao Ren's clothes and change the water for Doudou, Mrs. Countess I'm so busy, I don't have time to deal with issues like "the order of the new world".
But it's one thing for her not to be willing to be the speaker, and it's another thing for someone to point it out. The Countess was very embarrassed and upset, and wanted to beat up the group of juniors in front of her, but She thought about it, and felt that she should pay attention to the image of her elders, so she could only smile indifferently: "I haven't slapped Fang Jiewa for three days-I haven't slapped you for hundreds of years, your skin is itchy, right?"
The representatives of all parties quickly denied it, and Vivienne waved her hand generously: "Okay, what you said actually makes sense, I am not suitable to be this 'speaker' from all aspects—elegant does not mean capable, I know I'm not good at this. You can choose candidates yourself, but I think I should still have a special seat in this 'Shadow Council'?"
"Of course," Gene Lucas leaned slightly with his right hand on his chest, 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 groups, and councils throughout the ages. Your special place."
Hao Ren was a little curious when he heard this, and leaned over to Vivienne and muttered in a low voice: "Special location? What do you mean?"
"Just like today, we directly barged into their high-level meetings to dictate positions." Vivienne said casually.
As the oldest heterogeneous species in the world, as the most powerful life form on this planet during its heyday, Vivienne has a certain status in any camp. An unwritten privilege, this privilege is not as simple as "do her some face". Instead, she can express her opinion on any supernatural force if she wants to. And this view will be greatly respected.
She is a sage and elder recognized by all forces—even if she is poor, even if she is crazy 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 treatment .
Vivienne has never participated in any alien forces, she does not belong to any family, nor does she have a family under her own name, nor has she participated in various associations organized by aliens. But if she wants to express her thoughts on these forces, everyone must listen honestly, even the werewolves are no exception. Although she had fought many fights with other races back then, when disputes arose between these races, she also conducted arbitration and mediation more than once as a "passing expert".
When she is frantic, everyone regards her as a mobile natural disaster, but when she is calm, everyone respects her.
Vivienne is one such paradoxically great presence in the world of supernatural beings, moody and awe-inspiring. today. When the family representatives of the Athens Sanctuary hold a high-level meeting, she can break in and criticize. Tomorrow, after the establishment of the Shadow Council, if she looks unhappy, she can still go to their headquarters to have a thunderstorm. By default, she is eligible to participate in any meeting of any ethnic group, which is Vivienne's "special position".
There is no life span of thousands of years and the experience of the age of mythology. It is difficult for ordinary people to understand this phenomenon.
Hao Ren didn't understand either, and he wasn't interested in understanding either. He almost never felt how great Vivienne was in the circle of supernatural beings. Now, he prefers to marvel at Vivienne's cooking skills, and the fortune of losing all his money when he goes out to buy a popsicle...
After the general concept of "Shadow Council" was thrown out and accepted by everyone, Hao Ren didn't have much interest in this matter. He is a neutral observer, so he is not interested in participating in the management and control of any force. At most, he would monitor the situation from the sidelines, and would only intervene slightly if the situation got out of control. So he left the conference room. Go outside with Vivian to get some air.
Others move freely.
The plaza outside the meeting hall has returned to calm, and there are only a few people walking around in the empty space. The crowd who gathered to make trouble before was like experienced extras. When the filming started, the crowd was enthusiastic and impassioned. Clean up.
They didn't even leave any household garbage behind. This quality made Hao Ren admire...
"They weren't like this before." Vivian stood next to Hao Ren and looked at the empty square, then turned her head slightly to look at the meeting hall behind her, "These races were originally violent and war criminals. Molecules, although they also intrigue, but they are all 'fair and honest intrigues', but I didn't expect them to learn these tricks of human beings now... Public opinion builds momentum, exerts internal and external pressure, expresses positions in a corner, hides and hides Competing for interests. Tsk tsk... Although I knew they were changing all the time, 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 doubts?" Vivian looked at Hao Ren with a smile.
"I just didn't expect them to be able to be persuaded." Hao Ren scratched his hair. He knew that Vivienne had a delicate mind, but he didn't expect that the slightest doubt in his heart could be seen so easily. "I thought they ********* want to regain the glory."
Vivian just smiled, looked up at the city streets in the distance, and said suddenly after a long time: "Have you noticed, this new street uses electric lights."
Hao Ren: "Huh?"
"Actually, it wasn't you and me who persuaded these people—although our negotiations today were very helpful, these guys are very stubborn, and it's their own judgment that really determines their behavior," Vivienne said, crossing her arms. The corners of the mouth turned up, "Even if we don't come, they won't really do something to counterattack the earth, let alone allow other people to do this. Do you think they are stupid? They have already enjoyed the convenience of modern society, and they know the world How comfortable it has been transformed by human beings. The development of human beings for thousands of years has not only replaced the status of the "gods", but more importantly, it has developed the world from a barren state to the present level. This is an era of enjoyment , Civil aviation planes fly faster than any blood race, appliances manufactured by modern industry are more handy than anything in ancient times, mobile phones are more convenient than communication magic, tablet computers can crush all classical entertainment, those guys who are immersed in this... Already drunk.
"So, do you think they're going to allow someone to spoil this comfortable and beautiful time
"Of course they don't allow it. They have to enjoy it more. What they want is benefits, not wars and ruins. Only those who have nothing will work hard with their blood, because they only have their blood, and the people in the shelter Any guy who is not too miserable will not be like this... They have too much, so they will not give up these easily. What they want is to be able to enjoy this era more freely and simply. So in the witcher After disappearing, what they want is not to fight for hegemony from humans at all, because this 'hegemony' means the barren and barren old world. What they want is to get out of the shelter and embrace this new world openly. And as long as These big families set this unspoken rule, and those little guys jumping around are just pawns they throw out to wave their flags and make noise. The farce in the square was not for some reason to set off a wave of counterattacks, it was just some big families To stir up the muddy water for fish."
Hao Ren thought for a while, then shook his head: "It's too messy to understand."
"To be honest, I don't really understand their thinking, but whether it's human or alien, it has been developed in such a noisy way for thousands of years," Vivian curled her lips, "It's very troublesome and boring, and many people enjoy it."
Hao Ren smiled helplessly, then said nothing, just stood beside Vivienne, looking up at the chaotic shadow dome of the sanctuary.
Soon, this dome will be useless. (to be continued~^~)
