Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Tina saw the tall city walls and towering spires of her hometown again.

The emotions surging in my heart are almost unstoppable.

A few months ago, she embarked on a journey as an ambassador to the empire, dedicated her tiny strength to the precarious Goethe, sent a secret mission, avoided eyes and ears, was hunted by elves, betrayed by the empire, and then gave up the mission and went to North of the Empire, call in volunteer troops...and she finally reached the finish line.

Her hometown, Goethe's capital, Danfeng Lucerne.

This is where the ancestors of Teldaril and the first group of pioneering knights arrived. They established their first towns here, and explored and built this wild but fertile land. Generation after generation, until today, Goethe has long become A strong and great country has created its own glory.

But everything has an end, and kingship cannot last forever.

But at least, at least today's Danfeng Lucerne, what people have is hope rather than despair.

Although a considerable degree of martial law is still maintained, there are still pedestrians in the city, commercial activities have not stopped, or revived, the soldiers are patrolling with high morale, and the mage towers are shining with reassuring brilliance. Young people from many universities and colleges, including Willow, were preaching on the streets, and they even heard the Valentine's Declaration four or five times along the way, which made Tina both proud and sad.

In the past few months, the war situation has changed from pessimism to despair, and then to hope. The two people who have been mentioned the most are Princess Tina and Kant from Aurora.

The latter is mysterious and shocking, while the former makes every Goethe excited and proud. As Princess Tina, who saw through the conspiracy of the emperor and built an army in the north, was previously the perfect woman who crowned the continent with beauty and erudition. So today's transformation will make the Goethe people more fanatical and revered.

If Her Royal Highness the Princess returns to Danfeng Lucerne at this moment, it will definitely arouse the overwhelming support and welcome of the Goethe people... But for some reason, Tina did not do so, she almost escaped and contacted the palace, like She returned to her home as secretly as she ran away.

Because she did not know whether she could face the pure love, support and cheers of her fellow citizens.

This world is crazy, evil and without light, forcing innocent people to make cruel decisions. There is no best of both worlds, and there is no right or wrong. The person who makes the decision will bear everything with his soul alone.

No, actually...not alone.

"My daughter, although the journey is long, you will eventually return to your hometown... Welcome back."

Although the nationals did not give a grand welcome, the family will always open their arms and wait for you to come back.

Goethe Archduke Reknos-Teddariel embraced her.

At this moment, the tears have burst, and sometimes the father's arms will be the last harbor for girls to cry unscrupulously and loudly. There are too many anguish and sadness along the way. , The innocent and simple princess, but experienced betrayal and death in a short period of time, and then was stained with blood and threw herself into the killing battlefield... She finally returned home.

The Grand Duke hugged her gently, slapped her back, and the blond hair, which was always meticulously combed back, was slightly withered and pale, and Yingwu's face also looked thin. Majestic, his majestic body holds Tina like a lion holds a cub.

Only sadness also struck.

There is nothing more distressing for a father than not being able to protect his children.

The father and daughter each tasted their own sadness, until Tina's crying subsided and gradually calmed down, the Grand Duke still comforted her: "It's all over, it's all better..."

"…Um."

With a thick nasal voice, Tina lowered her head, left her father's arms, and wiped her face. She was already a strong girl and would not cry until she fainted. After she vented her emotions, she slowly calmed down.

The Grand Duke looked at her, half distressed, half joking, and joked: "It really makes me sad, little Tina, it seems that your father's arms can no longer make you cry, you already have a better one. Ragdolls are more comfortable to hold and cry more happily...is that so?"

Tina blushed and lowered her head.

In any case, being ridiculed in front of my father would still be shy.

"That's not bad." The Grand Duke nodded, and sighed, "It seems that you still like him very much... so I can rest assured."

Tina whispered: "Father..."

"Okay, Tina, this at least doesn't have to break my principles and save me from painful choices and decisions, my daughter, forgive me as your father, but also a responsibility to this country, so no matter what you do As a father, or as Goethe's ruler, I have to ask you..."

The Grand Duke took a step back, looked at his daughter, and said earnestly, "The boy you selected, Kant from Aurora, when will he come to Danfeng Lucerne? For both public and private, I have to see him as soon as possible."

"he…"

Tina avoided her father's eyes and looked down at her feet: "He wrote me a letter, and I replied, he said it was up to us whether to negotiate or not, I invited him to Danfeng Lucerne... He received the letter will move."

"I see, I also received a letter from this Aurora friend, his words are very polite, revealing a kind of calm and desireless that the Aurora philosopher has, as if the reason for helping Goethe is very simple, there is no other I am willing to put aside the paranoia of the ruler and believe in romance and love for a time, considering the **** for power and the need for wealth. . .

He stretched out his hand and gently stroked the hair on the side of his daughter's cheek, with tenderness in his eyes: "Actually, if he really loves you so much, even forever, it's okay to hand Goethe to him and you. Saved from the brink of destruction, it is reasonable to thank him."

Tina whispered: "Father, he should have no interest in ruling Goethe."

"That's a headache."

The Grand Duke scratched his hair slightly in distress: "It seems that the test of the gods on me is not over yet... My treasure, since you were born, I have been thinking about the future, if there is a **** who dares to break into your life, I will definitely I will give him countless tests and breaths like a dragon, until he passes countless tests and threats with sincerity, then I will hand you over to him..."

When he said this, there was a subtle displeasure on his face: "But I couldn't imagine at that time, now it is such a situation, the person who will be my son-in-law is also the person who is about to save my country, I have to express my condolences to him. Sublime courtesy and gratitude, and he has no interest in my power and wealth..."

"That is to say..."

Archduke Reknos held his chest slightly exaggeratedly, the rich facial expression details and the two trimmed eyebrows trembled comically, and there was no more majesty at all.

He said sadly: "That is to say, before long, there will be a reserved and calm Aurora sitting in front of me, he will stare at me like a calm Ith Lake, and no matter what I say, he will answer 'yes' , Grand Duke', so that it would be impolite to express my dissatisfaction with him for taking my daughter, I can't threaten him, I can't speak harshly, I have absolutely no dignity as a father, and he has no self-consciousness as a son-in-law, Tedari The Er family will welcome a Stella II..."

Seeing her father's familiar and funny appearance, and a funny tone that was completely different from her usual majestic posture, Tina couldn't help but smile: "Second sister, how can you say that Kant is also very interesting..."

"Oh, that's even worse. I have a hunch that this is a tough kid to deal with. Don't let him get mixed up with your second sister. Why don't you provoke and let these two guys fight..."

"How can there be such a father..."

"You still don't understand, Tina, this is the art of domination, you have to continue to learn, you must know that a qualified ruler will never let the two unstable factors under his rule be combined into one, otherwise the holy Teldaril The family status of the males of the family is about to drop by one collectively..."

Finally returned to the familiar rhythm. As a family member, the atmosphere within the family was cheerful and happy. The smile on Tina's face gradually became sincere, and she forgot her previous sadness.

Listening to the funny complaints of my father, the once carefree life.

"Come on, girl, Stella and Landiston can't wait to see you..."

"Um."

"But then again... Tina?"

"Father?"

"I want to say that although it may be a difficult boy to deal with, I don't know what attitude I should take to face him in such an embarrassing situation, but no matter what...you like it, I like it."

"…"

Tina stopped and lowered her head.

There was a bit of crying in his voice again: "Thank you, father...and, I'm sorry."

"Why do you want to apologize? You have done enough and good enough." The Grand Duke still touched his daughter's head gently, just like when he was a child, "Daughter doesn't have to apologize to her father."

Tina bit her lip. Humans are emotional animals, and sometimes reason can't control everything. She whispered, "Father, there is information that the elf expedition has been mobilized..."

"Well, we have also received rumors, and the staff headquarters is deducing and analyzing, but in any case, Danfeng Lucerne's defense has never been relaxed, and has been strengthening... Tina, this is the safest harbor, because here, I will take up all my responsibilities as a father."

Tina stopped talking and walked with her father in the familiar court, which was her home.

It's just that the mind has drifted far, far away.

"By the way, where's your aunt?"

"My aunt sent me back and left. I asked her to see Kant and **** her... I originally planned to let her rest and go after seeing everyone, but she said that she didn't want to see you and everyone, it was too troublesome..."

"She's still the way she used to be... But I'm still very happy that she can come, after all, she doesn't belong here... She shouldn't have to go into this muddy water."

"yes…"

Tina stopped and glanced in Valentine's direction. Aunt should have set off by now... Father was right, you could have avoided this muddy water.

At the same time, among the peaks, Sword Saint Puxue looked back in the direction of Danfeng Lucerne. Tina has gone back now... As an aunt, she still has to run errands to pick up a niece-in-law.

"Call me..." She snorted, "I'll take it away from you, anyway..."

She shook her head indiscriminately and continued to set off. The road from Danfeng Lucerne to Valenta was a bit long.

In Valentine, it was already the second day, and Kant had read the letter for the fifth time, and then cherished it. These rare and rare treasures should be framed and passed down to future generations, so that every elementary school student can read them.

"Really..."

He looked north: "When is Tina coming..."

Looking in all directions again: "The group of enemies from outside the sky are coming soon."

Don't bump into each other.

"His Royal Highness." Hong San leaped into the room and said, "It has been arranged, we have sent people in several directions, and then spread the news, after analyzing the strategic situation, we have a possible itinerary for Princess Tina and the others. After calculating and waiting at various points, we should be able to respond in advance."

Kant raised Erlang's legs: "Well... that's good, I hope that before Tina arrives, the guys who came to find trouble will be dismissed... Well, let's wait here for Godot."

"Who is Godot?"

"It's a... bah bah, this stalk is not very good."

When he said this, a lingering haze flashed in his eyes: "It will come..."

"Hey-"

Tagris, who appeared out of nowhere, beckoned from below with a heartless smile.

Seeing his smile, Kant rolled his eyes: "Okay...don't worry, if he lied to me, I'll give him an Oscar in person...it will come."

He shrugged.

Far, far away, several meteors streaked across the sky and landed on the earth.

The sky and the earth changed color, the thunder roared, and the temporary altar carved by the brand was a huge circle, which outlined complicated and mysterious patterns. The radiance dissipated, and the array on the ground was scorching with blazing fire. A few days ago, I ordered my subordinates to send information to Tina. The Hooder ignored the dirt and heat of the ground and knelt down reverently.

Three figures appeared in the dust.

"Nether, the ever-stinking air, the short-lived mudblood that never stands up."

The figures stepping out of the clouds are very interesting, one is old, the other is young, and there is a middle-aged man, like three generations of old, middle and young, but no one will regard them as three generations of grandparents, because of the face of the youngest and thinnest child. With a cruel smile on his face, a gloomy and arrogant face, there is a terrifying aura about him that people will ignore his age even if they see him.

He looked around, no one was there, and snorted, "Is it right here? Where's the wine? Where's the woman? Where's the slave? Why don't you get these ready?"

The Hooder trembled, and just as he was about to speak, the old man beside him said, "The task is important."

"Mission? It's just for a ride. How big a storm can a Shocked person who didn't make Xinggong react differently? Only those old-fashioned guys would be so surprised."

The little boy said disdainfully: "When you come to the lower realm, you should have some fun, right?"

The old man's voice was flat, but he refused to give in an inch: "Go find that Aurora first, let him turn against the elf, see how far he can do it, then clean up the mess, and after that, go check the seal, there is no time for you Do your boring and disgusting games."

The little boy's eyebrows twitched and he didn't speak, but his expression became more and more gloomy.

At this moment, the middle-aged man who had been silent for a long time suddenly said: "...I feel something is not right, I can't tell... Mudblood, are you sure no one is following you?"

The Hooder remained humbly on his knees, and no one asked him to get up, and he felt so right.

"Your Majesty, no, your humble servant can confirm that no one has noticed my whereabouts." He respectfully said, "In fact, I invite you, Your Majesty, to come down to this barren place, there are also considerations in this regard, if If you adults want to find fun, then I…”

The middle-aged man ignored him, still frowning: "It's still not right..."

"Hey, Mengdi, it's you who first entered the lower realm, so you're not used to it." The little boy said, "Do you think this is hundreds of years ago? The guy who can monitor the sky is already dead. Let's go and find it. Have some fun, play with women, kill Mudbloods, do some taxidermy, and then you can forget…”

As soon as the words fell, the middle-aged man suddenly turned his head and looked at him, his eyes were stern.

"what did you just say?"

The little boy was startled, then frowned: "Have some fun..."

"No, last sentence!"

"The guy who can monitor the sky has long been..."

The middle-aged man finally changed his color, but it was too late. The next moment, the unconcerned little boy and the calm old man showed disbelief at the same time, and invariably looked up at the sky.

In an instant, the dark clouds gathered earlier were swept away, the crimson flames ruled the sky, a line of fire broke through the clouds like a streamer, and the phoenix roared through the heavens and the earth.

The enemy from the celestial world looked in shock at the raging flames.

They saw the Origin Fire Heavy Armor with the Heraclitus flame runes circulating, the inextinguishable king halberd that once attacked the sky and swept the ethereal spirit, the phoenix wings that shrouded the flames, and the nine blazing flames. The phoenix tail and feathers dipped into the golden fire, and the king, who was in the blood of the phoenix, fluttered into the sky.

impossible.

There will never be such a thing.

Obviously already...

But what happened in front of them was not an illusion. The blazing flames were burning in the sky, but the souls of the three aliens could feel the terrifying heat and the burning murderous intent.

"It turned out to be you!" Meng Di transformed into a gust of wind and shouted violently, "Phoenix King Malekis!"

The king with flamboyant wings and flying phoenix has already swooped down.

A little flame at the tip of the halberd is like a prairie spark, which instantly dominates the sky, descends on the earth, and turns into a field of fire that burns everything.

Only the king is like a phoenix chirping for nine days, and the long roar of Qingyue runs through the heavens and the earth.

"—The macho fell from the sky!"
