In fact, even if several family leaders on the scene did not express their objections, Vivien herself did not have much interest in serving as the "Shadow Council Speaker" who worked hard and did not have much benefit, because she knew that the new order of the supernatural camp would inevitably be very chaotic at the beginning, she knew that those intriguing and dissimilar races would not honestly obey the constraints, and 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 let out a bad breath in human society, There are even some stunned people who simply hope to show their strength in front of "weak" mortals, and these messy things will annoy her.

More importantly, Vivien felt that she had a greater mission and value by Hao Ren's side - she had to cook, mop the floor, wash Hao Ren's clothes, and change the water for Doudou, and the Countess was busy, so how could she have the time to deal with the problem of "New World Order".

But it's one thing for her to be unhappy to be the speaker, it's another thing to be pointed out by others, the countess was suddenly quite embarrassed, quite unhappy, and quite wanted to beat up the group of juniors in front of her, but she thought about it and felt that she had to pay attention to the image of her elders, so she had to smile indifferently: "I haven't been on the house for three days - I haven't smoked you for hundreds of years, and your skin is itchy, right?" ”

The representatives of all parties hurriedly denied it, and Vivien waved her hand generously: "Okay, in fact, what you said is also reasonable, I am not suitable to be this 'speaker' in all aspects-being old does not mean being capable, I know that I am not good at this." It's up to you to nominate your own candidates, but I think I still have a special seat in this 'Shadow Council', right? ”

"Of course," Jean? Lucas put his right hand on his chest and leaned slightly. The etiquette is thoughtful and elegant, "Your Excellency the Countess will always have a place in the Shadow Council. You have a special place in all the societies, secret societies, and councils of the past and present. ”

Hao Ren was immediately a little curious when he heard this, and leaned over to Vivien's side and muttered in a low voice, "Special location? What does it mean? ”

"Just like today, we went straight to their high-level meetings to point fingers." Vivien said casually.

As the oldest outlier in this world. As the most powerful life form on the planet in its heyday, having met almost every occult race in the world, participating in any epic event, and in its heyday, Vivien has an unwritten privilege in any faction, not just to "give her some face", but to say that she can speak out to any supernatural force if she so chooses, and that opinion will be greatly respected.

She was recognized by all the powers as a sage and an elder - even if she was poor, even if she went crazy every once in a while, even if she was a strange person who wandered around the human world all day and liked to live with humans, she still had this transcendent treatment.

Vivien has never been involved in any alien forces. She didn't belong to any family, she didn't have a family under her own name, and she didn't participate in any of the associations organized by the aliens, but if she wanted to express her thoughts on these forces, everyone had to listen honestly, even the werewolves. Although she had fought a lot with other races back then, when there were disputes between these races, she also arbitrated and mediated more than once as a "passer-by".

When she went berserk, everyone saw it as a mobile scourge. But when she was calm, everyone was respectful to her.

Vivien is such a great being in the circle of supernatural beings, full of contradictions, moody and awe-inspiring. Today, at a high-level meeting of the family representatives in the Athenian sanctuary, she could break in and criticize it. Tomorrow, after the Shadow Council is formed, she can still run to their headquarters and make a thunderbolt if she doesn't feel good, and she is by default eligible to participate in any meeting of any race. This is Vivien's "special location".

Without thousands of years of lifespan and the experience of mythical times, it is difficult for the average person to understand this phenomenon.

Hao Ren didn't understand either. And he wasn't interested in comprehending, he would almost never get a sense of how great Vivien really was in the circle of supernatural beings—of course. He would still be amazed occasionally, but after that, he would prefer to marvel at Vivien's cooking skills and the fortune of going out to buy a popsicle and losing all his money......

After the general concept of the "Shadow Council" was thrown out and accepted by everyone, Hao Ren didn't have much interest in the matter. He is a neutral observer, so he is not interested in participating in the management and control of any force, at most he will monitor it from the sidelines, and the situation will only intervene a little when the situation is out of control. So he left the conference room and went outside with Vivien to get some air.

Others move freely.

The square outside the conference hall has returned to calm, and there are only a few people walking around in the empty space.

They didn't even leave a bit of household garbage, which impressed Hao Ren......

"They weren't like this before," Vivien stood next to Hao Ren and looked at the empty square, and glanced back at the council chamber behind her, "These races were originally violent maniacs, war criminals, and problem elements who fought at a disagree...... Public opinion builds momentum, exerts internal and external pressure, expresses positions in a corner, and competes for interests in hiding and suppressing. Gee...... Although I knew they were always changing, the change was 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?" Vivien looked at Hao Ren with a grin.

"I just didn't expect them to be persuaded to come down," Hao Ren scratched his hair, he knew that Vivien was delicate, but he didn't expect the slightest doubt in his heart to be seen so easily, "I thought they ******** want to regain their glory." ”

Vivien just smiled and looked up at the city streets in the distance, before she suddenly said, "Notice that this new street is electric." ”

Hao Ren: "Huh? ”

"Actually, it wasn't you and I who persuaded these people - although our negotiation today also had a great effect, these guys are very stubborn, and it is their own judgment that really determines their behavior," Vivien crossed her arms and the corners of her mouth turned up, "Even if we don't come, they won't really do anything to counterattack Earth, let alone allow anyone else to do this." Do you think they're stupid? They have long enjoyed the convenience of modern society, and they know how comfortable this world has been transformed by human beings, and the development of human beings for thousands of years has not only replaced the status of 'gods', but more importantly, it has developed this world from a barbaric to the current level. It's a time of enjoyment, civil airplanes fly faster than any Bloodline, modern industry makes appliances more handy than anything in ancient times, mobile phones are more convenient than magic, tablet computers can crush all the classical entertainment, those who are immersed in it...... I've been drunk for a long time.

"So, do you think they're going to allow someone to spoil this comfortable and beautiful era?

"Of course they don't allow it, they have to enjoy it more. They want profit, not war and ruins, and only those who have nothing will fight with their blood, because they only have blood, and no one in the shelter who is not too miserable will do this...... They have too much to give it up. All they want is to be more self-conscious. From、It's easier to enjoy this era。 So after the Demon Hunters disappeared, they didn't want to fight for supremacy from humans at all, because this 'supremacy' meant the barren and barbaric old world. All they want is to get out of their shelter and embrace this new world with all the light. And as long as these big families set this unspoken rule, those little guys who are jumping around are just pawns that they throw out to wave flags and make noise. The farce in the square was not to set off a wave of counter-offensive, it was just a muddled water stirred up by some big families in order to catch fish. ”

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

"To be honest, I don't quite understand their thinking, but whether it's human or alien, it's been this way for thousands of years," Vivien pouted, "It's troublesome, it's boring, and a lot of people enjoy it." ”

Hao Ren smiled helplessly, and then didn't say anything, just stood beside Vivien, looking up at the chaotic shadow dome of the shelter.

Soon, the dome will be useless. (To be continued.) )
