Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

"His Royal Highness, it is the messenger who has returned with a letter from Her Royal Highness..."

Before the steward's voice fell, Kant had already taken three steps and took two steps to grab it.

The dusty messenger had a frosty look on his face, which was the fatigue caused by the long journey all night. After he saw Kant, he bowed deeply and handed over the box he was holding in his hand.

"His Royal Highness." His voice was still full of vigour, "Fortunately not to be disgraced... Her Royal Highness said that only you can open the letter in the box, so you must be careful so as not to damage it."

Although he was uneasy in his heart, after Kant took the box, he did not open it immediately, but looked at the messenger in front of him, and said sincerely: "It's hard work... Please rest well."

The messenger bowed and said, "It is my duty to serve you."

The messenger was no stranger, nor was it the first time he had sent a letter to Kant.

Last time, at the request of Nick Valentine, I sent a letter to Kant.

The messenger at that time was one of the few who knew the truth and was determined to live. After he successfully delivered the letter, he left.

Because he wants to stay away from the war, escape from the elven front, and survive no matter what, and live to tell the world about the war in Valentine, and tell all the stories that happened there.

But the Battle of Valentine ended in a near-miraculous manner, Goethe triumphed, the war-torn city was saved, and the messenger returned after Kant delivered his doomed speech at the National Cemetery of Valentine. After Valentine, came to Kant.

He said that his mission has been completed, and he does not need to tell the story of Valentine, because all the sacrifices and heroism here will be engraved on the history of this country and this nation, and will always be remembered by the world, far more than He does better alone.

Now that Kant has done this better, he devotes all his loyalty for the rest of his life.

Then Valentine City has one more messenger and one more postman.

"Ulysses."

Kant patted the increasingly silent young man on the shoulder. When he sent Nick's letter a few days ago, his eyes were empty, extremely sad, and his mood was sad and desolate. All kinds of emotions were expressed on his face. For calm and human growth, it may only take a few days.

Or one night.

He said, "Is everything all right? Did you encounter any danger along the way?"

The messenger was respectful and silent, and every sentence was poised, as if after careful consideration, he said: "Everything is fine, Your Highness, although the journey is long, it is peaceful, and the beast of war is silent."

"Is that so..." Kant asked again, "Is Tina okay?"

"You're in good spirits, but it looks like you have something on your mind, Your Highness," Ulysses replied, "but she's still happy because of your letter... I can see that Her Royal Highness loves you very much, and she carefully told me to keep my letter safe. Send it to me, and give me valuable property, and Lord Waterfall Snow Swordsman also specially asked about it, Tedariel attaches great importance to you."

Kant was slightly relieved, and it seemed that nothing had happened.

Otherwise, the messenger should have rushed back.

Kant asked a few more questions, including the situation of the international column led by Tina, from the economy to the military to the support of the surrounding areas. Ulysses said them one by one, and he answered them all to the point.

The soldiers' views on the war, the busyness of the medical camp, the ration of food in the back kitchen... He carefully observed these small details, and after a lot of consideration, he came up with an accurate answer.

Kant breathed a sigh of relief.

Obviously, since the results of the Battle of Valentine came out, the battle has stopped, and Tina's army has been repaired for several days - Kant was a little worried that the girl's funds raised by using the Ponzi scheme would blow up. But for now, don't worry.

Just kidding, Kant's orbital bombing is the most powerful market stimulant, right?

Seeing that he was safe, the uneasiness in his heart stopped for a while. He glanced at Hong San, Hong San understood, stretched out his hand and said, "Your Excellency Ulysses, please come with me, you need to rest."

Seeing that Kant had nothing else to do, Ulysses bowed solemnly, and then followed Hong San away.

Kant held the box in his hand and exhaled slowly.

Out of the corner of his eye, his heart moved, and he turned to look. Leona opened the window on the second floor, her eyes were dim, and when she saw him, she bit her lip and closed the window again.

The gorilla was squatting on the roof, acting like a gorilla, with even more resentful eyes, looking at the box in Kant's hand, with a look of "I really want to break it, but Kant will blame me for being curious".

Kant shook his head, returned to the room, and opened the box.

Then he understood why Ulysses said that.

Because the letter in the box is frozen in a piece of ice, and the surface is surrounded by chaotic elemental power, Kant's current phoenix vision has achieved a little, even if Tagris, a parallel importer, is not very good at teaching, he also uses the help of fire thieves Inheritance figured out some usages.

In his eyes, this lump of ice was like a piece of plastic explosives, and the stability was really stable, but any external interference that interfered with its internal structure would lead to the destruction of the letter enclosed in it.

"It seems that a simpler and more effective encryption method is needed." Kant reached out and stroked the ice surface: "For example, a mobile phone, or a tablet..."

Put the words you want to say and the letters you want to write in electronic products, and set a password. Whether it's a genie or some other **** enemy who gets this, you won't even try to figure out how this thing works for eight lifetimes.

Extraction starts.

Tina was right, only Kant could easily remove this seal.

The cold ice disappeared, and the awe-inspiring icy sharpness contained in it also faded away, like a waterfall of snow flying away and falling on the ground, Kant was moved, as if he had seen a heroic and extraordinary woman.

He picked up the letter, covered it with varnish, and held it cold.

At this time, Kant was still hesitating, because he is a father-in-law, and he still does not know how to spell and read. If Hong San helps to read it, it is a private letter between him and Tina after all. I secretly laughed in my heart, but asking Leona to read...it seemed even worse.

But when he took it apart and took a look, he smiled.

Because the letter is written in Sinian language...similar to Chinese characters, even if some of the characters are unfamiliar, but combined with the context, even with guesswork, you can still figure it out.

It's amazing.

The smooth and plain white pages were filled with graceful and beautiful words, which were nowhere higher than Kant's dog crawling. The strokes were neat and orderly, and they were also very beautiful. It was a pleasing letter.

Just a few tears on the paper.

Kant sat down slowly, read the text on it carefully, translated the human language of the mainland into Sinian language, and then wrote it down, and it was not a simple task. Tina's grammar and vocabulary Quite a sense of the times, just like the Republic of China, or the establishment of a later republic.

"I still remember how we met."

"The first time I saw you, your smile was under the sun, warm like a saint, I remember you talking to me in Aurora, I didn't understand what you said at the time, I just remember that you were as clear as the sky I don't know how to answer you, but I'm not afraid, I took your hand and told you my name, so you said yours too, Tina, and Kant."

Kant read word by word, and on that sunny day, many stories happened when the first meeting on the island of Saint Yin, the beginning of the encounter, appeared in his mind.

"And now, I've known you for two months and twenty-six days. Before that, we didn't know each other. You didn't know there was a girl named Tina, and I didn't know there was a man named Kant. I can't see each other's smiles, or even know each other's appearance, but now, I wrote this line of words, but I can cross a long distance, walk into your world, and think of your appearance."

"Everyone says that I am the happiest girl in the world, and everyone envy me, a princess who is about to face the pain of subjugation, stubbornly going to an indifferent country to pray for impossible help, but by chance encounter When it comes to you, you meet someone who can change everything."

"It's like the arrangement of the gods."

"I do feel happy, and I'm not going to lie about that."

"It's not all because you changed the war situation and reversed the signs of Goethe's decline by yourself. This is also true. My happiness will not be so utilitarian, of course it is true."

"When I heard the news that you are still alive, I don't know how to describe my surprise. I just feel very happy. As long as you are still alive, I am very happy."

"When I heard that you took the initiative to come to Goethe and get involved in this war, I felt more and more happy, and I was a little disgraceful. I was a little vain and attributed the reason for your intervention in this war to my own head. If It's not like this, please don't point it out, you can laugh at me stupid in your heart, but please don't say it, it's embarrassing, just coax me a little in face."

"But when I heard about your deeds that destroyed the five major battle groups, in addition to my incredible excitement and joy, I also felt happy for granted."

"But there is still sadness and guilt from the heart."

There are more tears here.

"In a short time, we are all different, this is not your war, but you interfere and participate, kill for it, and get blood for it, I don't want you to be like this, but you have done it, and greatly I am very moved and disturbed for helping us, I don’t know how to thank you, I don’t know how to make up for you, I have done too little and too little for you, but you have done too much for me.”

"I want to do a lot for you, I want to give you more, as long as I have, I want to help you out of the pain that night, I don't think you have to face any sadness anymore, I want to do it, but my ability is limited , I'm stupid, I can't do anything well, what I miss the most is the day when we first met, I even hope that it was only the two of us at that time, I hope the ship will not be repaired, and I hope no one will arrive there again."

"If that's the case, at least you won't have those things that happened later."

"I think this should be the best, even if Goethe will perish for this, but at least you don't have to do what you don't want to do, you don't have to go through all that, it's not that you are more important than my country, just because you are completely innocent I don't want to hurt you any more, you've done enough for Goethe."

"I really miss it. At that time, if it was just you and me, where the whole world was quiet and peaceful, there were no luxurious palaces and cumbersome etiquette, and there were no wars and calculations. We were like ordinary human beings, going around every day. Turn around, stop and go, sometimes busy, sometimes leisurely, hide at home when it rains, walk on the beach when it is cool, eat and drink, have a home and clothes, and live a life like this.”

"I think if that's the case, it's very good... Maybe I will still miss my motherland and my family, maybe you will also miss the relatives and hometown you miss, but there is no perfect good thing in the world, even if it will be regretful and sad, But relying on each other will gradually calm down."

"I thought, if that was the case, would it be a little better than it is now?"

When Kant read this, he looked stunned. If the Penguin Man had sunk long ago, and only Tina was washed ashore, what would have happened if there were no elves chasing after him?

Will he still have the idea of ​​sailing away? If he stays on the island of Saint Indies, there is no chance for him to be stabbed by Lost, and he will use the cursed power to set up a leap bridge to return to Earth. In that case...

Unfortunately, everything is not if.

"Unfortunately, there are no ifs. I'm just talking about things that will never happen, but it's not meaningless, because such imaginations have supported me through the most difficult times."

"I kill people, I lie, I fabricate conspiracies, I encourage people, many people will die because of my ideas and decisions, and many people will be destroyed because of my plans... I'm no longer the naive person I used to be, I My soul kept pouring out to me the price of innocence, it roared for revenge, made me cruel, cold and decisive, and I looked at myself in the middle of the night countless times, and felt pain and self-defeating."

"When I am the saddest, I will always think of you."

"Thinking of the possibility that can never happen again, the world where only the two of us are, when I am sad but cannot escape, my soul and thoughts will float there, with you, because where there is you, it is My safe place is where the innocent and kind Tina rests..."

Another series of shed tears.

"You are the last piece of pure land in my heart, Kant, the only thing I won't lie to you is, you are the only person I can trust with all my heart, I hope you can live well, live happily, and don't have to be Wounded by evil wars and ugly calculations, I want to see you, and I'm afraid to see you, because I don't know how to face you, I don't know what to say to you."

"But I want to say to you, thank the gods for letting us meet, it's great that you're still alive, everything is fine with you, I'm very happy, I'm afraid to see you, but I really want to see you too... "

"So, I've made a decision, I'm going to come to see you, arrange things at hand, I'll set off, I'll come to see you, in whatever capacity you wish, and then we'll discuss the rest Things, I hope you wait well in Valentine, but also be careful, the war is not over yet."

"Hopefully it will end soon."

"It doesn't matter if it doesn't end, but hopefully your war will end here."

"The world is crazy, evil, and without light, so I hope you'll stay as pure, gentle, and spotless as I first saw you."

Writing here, has come to an end.

"Kant, I dreamed again last night that you were laughing."

The letter was slowly put back on the table, page after page.

"Is this a love letter?"

After a long while, Kant shook his head and smiled: "You don't even call your husband, but also a love letter."

He thought about it for a while, took a picture of the contents of the letter with his mobile phone, then folded the letter and put it away, with a flash of brilliance, he returned to the world of white mist. Just as he was about to put it away, he felt uneasy.

Otherwise, when you return to Earth next time, find a safe and lock it?

This thing should be framed and maintained according to the standards of world famous paintings.

Tina...

The content of the letter was still reverberating in his mind, making him feel sweet and happy, the girl's reserved and restrained emotions still conveyed to him, and the unease in his heart gradually dissipated.

And look forward to seeing you again.

After returning to the other world, Hong San also placed the messenger properly, met Kant, glanced at it, and congratulated: "It seems to be good news, Your Highness."

"It's good news, but there are also bad things." Kant replied, "Tina said that she would come over... This means that the plan you just proposed can't be used. If we go to the capital of Goethe and attract the enemy to attack, it is easy to have a relationship with Tina. Na staggers, if they bump into Tina and his party, it will be broken."

"Is that so... that can only stay in Valentine."

Hong San met with the Sword Saint Waterfall and was deeply impressed by the strength of the Sword Saint: "But the good news is that with Sword Saint Waterfall to help us, our chances of winning are even greater."

Kant nodded, and after meeting Hong San, the shyness in his heart also sank: "Tina and the others are coming... I'm a little worried, will those people stare at her?"

"With the prudence of His Highness Tina, she will not come lightly, she will definitely bring full guards and make a disguise, and with the arrogance of those enemies, they probably won't do anything to take hostages... They are aloof and proud of themselves. How can all beings do such a degrading thing so easily."

Hong San comforted a few words, and then said: "But Your Highness is not at ease. We can make some arrangements... The air force with the elf mission is here, and it is unnecessary and wasteful."

Kant's expression changed: "How to deal with it?"

At the same time, in the north of Goethe, the army was mobilized, and the military orders were issued everywhere, affecting people's hearts and speculation. The most reliable statement is that the peace talks are imminent, and Her Royal Highness The Princess will also leave.

The secrecy work was done very well, and almost no one knew that Tina was packing up. She and the Snowfall Swordsman were about to secretly go south with a light cavalry, along the unoccupied Goethe-controlled area.

"After arriving in Fenua, we can act alone..."

In the night wind, Tina's eyes shone with complicated and incomprehensible light. She whispered, "Then I will be able to go home soon... I miss my brother and sister very much, and I miss my father very much."

Sword Saint Puxue said lightly: "I haven't seen him for a long time."

"However, Auntie, there is one more thing to trouble you."

"what?"

Tina said softly: "After returning home, I may have to trouble you to go to Valentine."
