Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

The night wind is cool and blowing slowly. In the small garden on the west terrace of the Maple Leaf Palace, the Grand Duke leans on the railing and stares at the city in the distance. This is an excellent viewing spot, and half of the city can be seen.

It was getting late at this moment, and the lights of the stars were lit up in the city, gathering together.

The so-called night scene is the real scene created by human beings.

In the day and night changes of the planet's rotation, only the fire and light gathered by the settlements can cut through the ancient darkness and leave their own traces. This light can be seen even in outer space. This is the proof of civilization, which proves that With the power of civilization, it can lift the light in the wilderness of eternal darkness.

"How does it feel? My city."

The gathering of shining lights means that the city has regained a certain vitality and has survived the crisis of destroying the country. The epic victory is like a miracle, how can there be no banquets and celebrations.

Even here, singing can be heard in the distance.

"Beautiful, rustic and natural."

Kant stood beside the Archduke and answered.

The Grand Duke was stunned for a moment and touched his face: "Young man, I have to admit that because of Tina, I seem to have some prejudice against you, and even feel that your answer is full of subtle sarcasm."

Kant opened his eyes, his eyes were as pure as springs: "It's really interesting and beautiful."

"…"

The Grand Duke sighed.

There was laughter and singing in the wind.

The two men looked out over the city.

"It's so lively."

Kant sighed.

It is really rare to see this kind of pure happiness on earth. Celebration, liveliness, sincere smiles, many people share the same kind of happiness, sincere and pure.

Similar scenes in memory can be traced back to the night when the Olympic bid was successful.

However, he could understand the excitement, joy and even carnival.

In the past two days, the Goethe people have been playing quite crazy. After all, it is human nature to escape from the dead.

But the Maple Leaf Palace was very deserted. The Grand Duke did not intend to celebrate at all, and he did not even hold any slightly grand banquet. Tina's brothers and sisters were all busy, political, economic, military, people's hearts... There are always There are endless things to do. Officials of various government departments are also working overtime every day.

At this time, the Grand Duke said lightly: "Of course it is very lively, and there are many people who invite you to the banquet. Why not experience the liveliness for yourself?"

Yes, in stark contrast to the deserted Maple Leaf Palace, gifts and invitations to Kant from the outside world were piled up like a mountain, and even the palace vacated two rooms to store rare treasures, exotic treasures, antiques, magic Utensils, big and small, everything.

If it weren't for Teddariel's face, maybe even a living person would have it.

Even now, there are still a group of people who are inquiring day and night, asking the servants of the court, and even inquiring from Valentine, to find out what Kant likes, what he likes, and what he is interested in.

This kind of battle is more than Valentine's time.

And it has only been two or three days, and the intensity has even increased.

Nobles, rich people, scholars, artists, mages... all classes, all fields, with all kinds of thoughts, madly stuffed gifts to Kant.

Its purpose is just to meet the honorable His Royal Highness Kant.

Of course Kant refused.

It's so uncomfortable to be surrounded by a group of licking dogs that you don't know and sing praises.

Together they are not as good as Hong Sanhui.

He shook his head and said, "I'm not interested, I don't understand their joys and sorrows, I don't know them, and I don't want to respond to their plots and thoughts, and I opened a hole, and it will be even more difficult to clean up in the future."

His Excellency the Grand Duke snorted: "You did well on that matter."

Kant was startled - that thing?

Then he reacted.

Among those piles of gifts, what caught Kant's attention the most was a love letter full of deep affection and admiration, each with beautiful handwriting, even the fiery lips of a girl, or dozens of lines of poems. , is obviously a girl who has long admired Kant and his old man and is willing to propose a pillow seat.

The court steward, who handed him these gifts, also whispered to him the nature of these letters with a subtle and reserved look... Unhappy is unhappy, but the Goethes did not have the guts to withhold the love letter to him.

This is the first time in my life that I have received so many love letters from girls.

It was the first time I knew that I was so popular.

It's really a dream time.

If you have strength, you will be chased by girls. It's a good time.

However, these bold and sincere girls who have the courage to pursue love have counted everything and missed one thing.

Aurora, His Royal Highness Kant, the guardian of Goethe, the one who stuns the elves, the enemy of the twilight moon, the supreme power of the continent, the sword of deterrence, the Great Forbidden Magician, the youngest peerless powerhouse in the world...

is illiterate.

- Who knows what you wrote!

- It doesn't matter how much you write! Why not be direct and come with some colorful pictures!

No matter how thick-skinned Kant was, he couldn't do anything to let others read love letters to him. It was like saying that before he learned the grammar of the other world, these love letters were about waste paper.

After thinking about it, Kant waved his hand and reluctantly used these love letters.

All were sent to Tina.

-Since there is no egg to use, at least use it to brush Tina's favor.

The court housekeeper who had previously handed him a "love letter from a wild woman outside to his uncle" with a frowning face, was so happy this time that he walked like a fly, and trotted all the way to announce the good news.

Now hearing what the Grand Duke said, Kant suddenly realized.

Despicable, really mean.

It seems that not only did Tina's favor, but also her father-in-law's favor.

The Grand Duke looked a little unhappy, and said yin and yang strangely: "Are you not at all tempted? These beautiful, elegant, innocent and lovely ladies admire you very much."

Kant said righteously: "Why do they love me, they are obviously greedy for my forbidden curse, they are scumbags!"

"well said!"

This was right for the Grand Duke's temper. He slapped the railing and shouted: "You remember it! No matter how many women there are, to please you, show you love, and seduce you, it is all for nothing, coveting you. Your strength, power and status, they are all lowly! In this world, there is only my daughter who will like you as a person! Do you understand!"

"…"

what the **** do you mean?

What does it mean that only your daughter will like me?

Are you scolding me or scolding your daughter?

Kant turned his head and wanted to say something, but he smelled a faint smell of alcohol.

…Grass.

Only then did I see that my father-in-law was holding a wine bottle in his left hand, and he didn't know where it came from.

Reknos picked up the wine bottle on the side and shook it to Kant: "Come on?"

"...No."

"why?"

"It's hard to drink."

"Nonsense! Wine is so good! Can't you drink enough? How can a man not!"

"I...I'm okay with drinking."

"Then let's compare!"

"...No."

"why?"

"I'm afraid of drinking you to death."

Drink it in your mouth and extract it, not to mention the Grand Duke, Duan Yu will drink to death when he comes.

The provocation of these words is too strong, especially men, when they get together and brag and show off, they will always compare some strange things.

The most frequently compared are length, diameter and time.

Further down, the comparison is the amount of alcohol.

As for strength, wife, car, house, you have to go to the back row.

The Grand Duke was dissatisfied and shouted: "Come! Come! Let's compare! Let's go to the palace wine cellar! The fine wine collected and accumulated by our ancestors through the ages! Let's see who drinks to death first!"

Kant sighed and supported the Grand Duke: "You are drunk."

"Of course I'm... drunk!"

Archduke Reknos threw his hand aside, pointed at him, a smirk appeared on his face, and muttered, "There are some things, after drinking...I dare to tell you!"

Seeing him like this, Kant seemed to understand something, and showed an indifferent smile.

He leaned against the fence and nodded with a chuckle, "Okay, say it, I'm listening."

Putting one hand into his pocket like flowing water, he activated the phone, turned on the camera mode, and took it out, and put it into his chest pocket lightly.

The Archduke knew nothing of this.

With a mad and even arrogant smile on his face, he pointed at Kant slightly provocatively: "You, Kant, Kant of Aurora, you saved my country, you saved my daughter, you saved me, I'm so grateful to you! I really appreciate you! But I'm not afraid of you!"

Kant nodded and said, "Yes, yes."

"I won't be like the group of dogs outside, wagging my tail to please you, I have a request from you, I want to rely on your strength, this is all a fact, in exchange, money, property, things Well, I will pay you the corresponding price, but it must be a fair deal, not begging for mercy!"

"I won't sell my daughter!"

He was holding the bottle and yelling, yelling.

Kant still nodded: "Well, of course you won't do that."

"nonsense!"

The Grand Duke took a gulp of wine, and the liquor slipped from his mouth to his neck, staining his clothes.

"On the day of the siege, I was ready, ready to meet the end of Teldaril, surrender to the elves, and even continue to retain my position and power, but I would rather die than bow to the elves in exchange for this humiliating The continuation of the family and the country - you say, if I don't bow my knee to the elf, will I bow to you?"

Kant shook his head and said, "Of course not."

"You said, I can't even bend my knees, will I betray my beloved daughter!"

Although this logic is subtle and funny, it is very convincing when matched with the grand duke's tone and demeanor.

Kant cooperated with him: "Of course not."

The Grand Duke pointed at him and shouted, "Then why did you say that to me before! And in front of Tina!"

"…"

Kant had no choice but to say: "I was wrong, I was wrong, I misunderstood you."

"You said! Will I wag my tail and kneel to you for refuge?"

"Of course not, you are a strong man."

"Exactly! How could I kneel to you! You should kneel to me!"

The Grand Duke covered his face and muttered, "You should kneel down and beg me to marry your daughter. Damn it, I don't want to agree, but I..."

He turned his body to the side: "Damn, I'm not a qualified monarch, nor a qualified father. My country is a mess, and it has been bullied by foreign enemies. I have to exchange protection from the strong. I am both a monarch and a father. You are both a guardian and a son-in-law, I want to separate these two things, but it is actually very difficult to separate, I cannot protect my country, or even allow my daughter to have pure love..."

While speaking, the archduke turned his head to the other side with great effort.

No matter what his status, he couldn't cry in front of this man.

Then, he felt a light tap on his shoulder a few times.

"OK."

The Grand Duke turned his head slightly, wiped his face indiscriminately, and stared at Kant blankly.

Kant raised his palm and held it in the air.

"Look, this is a sword, the sword in my hand."

"It can destroy a large army of world hegemons with one blow, it can end a local high-intensity war, it can deter any country in the world, it can change the direction of a global war, and it can make a prosperous big country in terror and deterrence day and night. It can change the world, it saves Goethe, it can do more and more things in the future..."

He looked at the Grand Duke and smiled: "In your words, a person with such a sword can change the color of the world and silence the world. Can't you get a pure and simple love?"

Kant blinked: "Old man, if you don't have confidence in yourself, you should also have confidence in your son-in-law."

The Grand Duke stared blankly at Kant and remained silent for a long time.

Then he slowly turned his head back.

"...arrogant boy, rude, impolite, impolite, savage."

He took out an item from the inner pocket of the robe, and without turning his head, handed it to Kant: "Take it, little bastard, but you can't imagine taking my daughter so easily this time!"

At the first sight of such a thing, Kant knew what it was.

Treasure, the treasure that Tina said.

Collected by the Teldaril family, one of the bloodlines of the Seven Heroes, the Crimson Scroll.

God's gift...

He took it slowly.

The crimson scroll found from the Sacred Seal Island was branded with the power imprint of the time and space dragon Akatum. He was recognized by the head of the gods and obtained its power.

So who is this one from?

Touched this strange ancient scroll, but nothing happened.

When Kant held Akatum's crimson scroll, the scroll would burn itself with golden fire, but nothing happened with this one of Teldaril.

But I can feel that it's not fake...

Could it be that I have already messed with Brother Tu, and this one ignored me?

Or…

Kant's thoughts turned, and he wanted to ask the Grand Duke for the inside details of this scroll, but he saw Reknos who handed out the scroll, staring blankly at the night scene of Danfeng Lucerne.

…next time.

Kant was about to call someone to put the drunken man back when he suddenly heard the Grand Duke say, "Kant."

"Um?"

"Look, listen."

The Grand Duke pointed to the view of the city in the distance and asked, "What did you see and what did you hear?"

Kant said: "Seeing the bustling night scene, hearing laughter and singing, everyone is celebrating the end of the war, feasting, singing... What's the matter?"

"Is that all you see and hear?"

"…what do you mean?"

"Do you want to know what I heard and saw."

"Please say."

"me…"

The Grand Duke's tone became calm, not as wild as before.

"I heard cries and saw people who forced their faces to laugh and even look expressionless, Kant, victory is not only joy, war always involves sacrifice, there are always people who are more sad than joy, their cries are drowned out by the song of victory, Their grief is overshadowed by the smiles of more people, but because of this, they should not be ignored and the sorrow and pain of these people should not be ignored... This is the responsibility of the Grand Duke."

"You say, how can I feast and celebrate? I can't hear laughter, I can't see the praise and joy of the nobles, I only hear many crying, their sad faces..."

Reknos was lying on the railing, his tone became lighter and lighter, and he fell asleep slowly.

Still muttering to himself, he whispered: "After all, the more the sun shines on the earth, the more you should care and care about those who are still enduring the darkness..."

Kant was thoughtful.

He didn't even notice that at this moment, the crimson scroll in his hand seemed to light up slightly.
