Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Chapter 410: Owner

"You say, is Kant pretending, or is he really relying on it?"

After some negotiation, Santos and Dragon Girl were both released.

No house arrest, no detention, no embarrassment, and no intimidation.

Even personal freedom is not restricted.

Go if you want to go, run away if you want to, stay here if you want to stay, die if you want to die.

If it is an ordinary international dispute, it will not be so easy, but in this matter, Goethe is in charge of Kant. The unique diplomatic relations between the two countries and the nature of the national conditions determine this easy and almost childish way of progress, because Santos And Kant are understanding people, tacit understanding of each other.

You can run away overnight.

- But it means not to recruit yourself. Since Longdao has done this, just wait.

You can just hang around and die.

- If you are assassinated by the mastermind behind the scenes, the black pot will definitely be on Goethe's head, and then Long Island and Goethe will also have to fight a battle.

So, figure it out for yourself.

Santos knew in his heart that he didn't live enough, and of course he knew what to do.

He made up his mind to stay in the Maple Leaf Palace.

After all, theoretically speaking, his life is also in danger. The mastermind behind the scenes wants to trigger a war between the Dragon Race and Goethe. Assassinating Kant is one way, and assassinating his important messenger is also a way.

But he was not very worried. As a man who climbed up to the defense management of the Dragon Clan as a human being, Santos' personal safety is an important charter of the company. If he does not take the initiative to die, there are not many people in the world who can kill him.

What's more, the One Punch Dragon Girl, as an ace assassin with a remarkable record, is also a first-class bodyguard.

Compared with this, the attack that happened tonight and the variables it caused can trigger his infinite reverie.

Goethe has only been quiet for a few days, and a new enemy has appeared.

And it was forbearance for a long time. Once he made a move, he broke Kant's alchemy weapon, reducing his deterrence ability by almost half, and changing the balance of power between him and the dragon family.

And Kant's reaction is also very memorable to him.

Kant directly said that the agreed fake match can continue to be played.

There are only two possibilities.

First, Kant is very reliant. Even if the alchemy weapon is broken, it can be repaired quickly, or it can be taken out directly, and even playing by himself is enough to hammer the dragon.

Second, he was bluffing, and he had to put on a tough stance to deter the dragons.

He was thinking about this kind of thing along the way, and couldn't help asking the dragon girl Lily beside him.

Long Niang walked quietly, right next to him, her upper body was wrapped in a heavy blue jacket, her lower body black skirt was lightly swayed, trimmed with white lace, and she was holding a small black bag in her hand.

Santos can see at a glance that this skirt is not the dress of Long Niang, and the coat on the upper body is even more different. The style, appearance and even the fabric are all he has never seen before.

- He had the intention to observe carefully, but was afraid of being beaten. As for why this dragon girl appeared by Kant's side tonight, and why she was wearing Kant's clothes, that was probably a secret that could never be explored.

what to say...

I didn't know what to say, so I had to shout that Kant was awesome.

And Lily just glanced at him: "Is it a bluff or a reliance, is it important? Didn't you take the initiative to say that you want to postpone this battle for half a month?"

Yes, after Kant suggested that the agreement could be continued, Santos wisely suggested that the battle could be postponed for half a month, and the reasons given were also very sensible.

He said that the culprit behind the conspiracy must be found out, the misunderstandings resolved, and then the business is discussed, otherwise there will be a thorn between the dragons and Goethe after all.

As expected of a businessman, this statement is very comfortable. It is much more pleasant than "We don't take advantage of you, we will give you half a month to repair the fighter jet, and then we will fight again".

"Whether his alchemy weapon can be repaired or not, or whether he has spares, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that his forbidden spell can't be faked, and he can still overturn any city in the world."

"He's still the sharpest sword in the world," Santos explained.

The dragon girl said lightly: "But the dragon family is not afraid of his forbidden spell, and the old guys on the board of directors will take the opportunity to raise the price even if they don't tear up the agreement. If Kant's alchemy weapon is broken, he will be weak, the company can take the opportunity to seek more benefits, if you don't do this, you will harm the company's interests, and you are not afraid of the Dragon Emperor's anger?"

She talks a lot tonight.

Santos glanced at her, obviously misunderstood, good guy, he turned out in one night.

He said: "Your Majesty will not be angry. If it is His Majesty, he will do the same thing. When we can take the opportunity to raise the price, if we do not do so, we can sell him a favor. As for Kant becoming weak..."

Santos said this and shook his head: "Who knows if he has weakened."

The CEO looked at the Goethes who followed far behind him and said, "Before I came, I talked to His Majesty the Dragon Emperor, and His Majesty asked me, after reading Kant's intelligence, from my point of view, how to deal with this person? What's the most important point?"

"I said beauty, he said no, I said morality, he said no, I said respect, and he said no."

"Then he told me, most importantly, never, ever, never underestimate him."

Santos said lightly: "The people of the Samuel family underestimated him and felt that he could not ride the storm as a Aurora, and as a result Huisha turned into ruins."

"The Dusk Chapter underestimated him, thinking that it would be so hard for him to fight a Huisha Town. How could he resist the army? As a result, it was not only them, but the six Dragon Banner Chapters were destroyed in Valentine."

"The Dusk Moon Council underestimated him and felt that no matter how powerful he was, he couldn't stop the will of a country. As a result, he killed Danfeng Lucerne in one day, and the entire country's face was trampled under his feet..."

He stopped and asked Long Niang next to him: "Then tell me, this time, we think that Kant's alchemy weapon has been broken, and there is no threat to the dragon clan, so we take the opportunity to persecute, raise the price and even start a war, will Kant be able to do so at that time? Come up with something more wicked and unheard of, and slap us in the face and cause heavy casualties?"

Long Niang nodded, but did not speak.

"In the final analysis, we are businessmen, and force is necessary, but not the first choice. The purpose of the company's armed force is to defend interests and protect trade. This is not a boring moral, but an important rule to ensure the good and stable operation of the company. If When the Dragon Clan defense encounters something, the first thought is to use force to solve it, and we will close the door in a short time."

Santos explained it earnestly.

Long Niang still nodded and suddenly said, "Is this all for the benefit of the Dragon Clan?"

Pi Longxin, who has joined Longdao nationality, nodded and said, "Yes."

Long Niang asked again: "Even if your actions tonight are essentially making an assertion? Even if you don't discuss such a big matter with the board of directors, you should report it to the Dragon Emperor first."

Santos shrugged and said: "The situation is urgent, and I have to express my position as soon as possible. I did this as a last resort. After I go back, I will explain it to His Majesty the Dragon Emperor in detail, and he will understand me."

When the dragon girl heard this, she nodded and said, "Understood, for the interests of the dragon clan, you can make choices according to your own judgment, even if it does not seem to be in the interests of the clan in the short term... Is that so?"

"Yes...wait." Santos stared, "What do you want?"

"Humph."

Long Niang took a step forward, trotting faster, and the corners of her skirt swayed.

Tonight, she said some things, and some things she didn't.

The attackers drank potions, turned into dragons, and beat the steel giant miserably. She naturally wanted to tell Santos about this.

But she witnessed Kant teleport away up close, and even disappeared with the steel puppet for a short time before coming back... This kind of thing was temporarily hidden in her heart.

Big secret.

Where does Kant come from.

What is the origin of Kant's terrifying power and weapons?

She faintly felt that the ultimate question that plagued the conspirators in the mainland was hidden in the short time when he disappeared out of thin air... Where did Kant go?

Secret base? Half plane? It seemed to her that it was more than that.

I have to find a way to find out.

Until then, it cannot be leaked.

Otherwise, the news will be sent back to Longdao, arousing the attention or coveting of some stupid old dragons, forcibly pushing forward to investigate this matter, and finally **** up the all-out war. Wouldn’t it be detrimental to the interests of the ethnic group?

Yes, it's all for the benefit of Dragon Island.

As for how to start...

The wind was blowing under Long Niang's feet, and she walked quickly, but her right hand was put into the pocket of the jacket. There was a ball of soft veil inside, which felt good, just like what she was wearing on her legs.

hum.

A smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

- Let's start by returning things.

In the room, Kant, like all Hanhan looking for a cell phone after getting up, lifted the quilt on the bed, shaking, shaking, but nothing fell.

This made his hands and feet cold, and his whole body became cold at night.

Grass.

He walked back to the front hall with mixed feelings. Tina rushed back into his arms like a swallow returning to her nest. She hugged him and put her face in his arms. It had been almost an hour. The body is still shaking, and it seems that he has not broken away from the previous fear and fear.

Kant's attack made Tina recall the nightmarish night in Huisha Town.

That night, the head maid, the knight, Kant...everyone left her.

It made her feel uneasy, worried, and guilty, because the reason why Kant was in danger tonight was, in the final analysis, because he was involved in Goethe's war.

"It's okay, it's okay..."

Kant can only say so.

But saying this can only have the opposite effect. How much Kant is, how guilty Tina is.

The Grand Duke glanced at Kant. Now he has no time to care about the fact that his beloved daughter is holding Kant. He sighed and said, "We are strengthening our defenses and making up for the omissions. The chief mage has come to a preliminary conclusion that the attack The attacker came in three days ago, and we are conducting a thorough investigation."

The country's strength is weakening, and it can only be bullied. The capital of a country, the place of the palace, has become a place where conspirators can come and go freely and arrange assassins' attacks. The previous bombardment of the dead not only seriously injured Horus, but also He slapped the Grand Duke, Teddariel, and even the entire Goethe in the face.

But there was nothing he could do.

This is the tragedy of weak countries.

What's even more sad is that, knowing that being weak is the original sin, but the weak have no way to do anything, and have no hope of becoming stronger... The despair of this world is that some things are actually destined.

Small countries can never catch up with big countries.

He glanced at the big hole that was knocked out by the gorilla, as well as dust, gravel, and wood chips. The windows and outer walls were also swept into **** by Kant's Gatling machine gun. It was impossible to live here.

"I originally thought that if you live here, you can be quieter." He sighed, "Let's move to another place."

Hearing this, Tina turned around from Kant's arms, looked at her father, and said firmly, "Stay with me."

The Grand Duke's original intention was not to allow it. After all, unmarried men and women are mixed together, and there is no reason to throw their own cabbage into the pigsty's trough... Besides, why is the female dragon in Kant's room tonight, and why is it wrapped in Kant's clothes, although there is no meaning to ask questions, but he still sees in his eyes, this Kant is good everywhere, but it's a bit spent.

If it was another man, he could also praise him for being romantic and affectionate, and he was secretly envious.

But it is very unacceptable that his daughter becomes one of the evidences of his loveliness.

But looking at his daughter's unequivocal gaze, he knew that it was not his turn to object.

Even if Kant was arranged elsewhere, Tina would definitely get in at night.

He nodded slowly: "Okay."

"Second brother has led the troops to martial law, and the eldest brother is stepping up the investigation of this matter. After all, the attacker was hiding in the Maple Leaf Palace. Although it has been wiped out, it will still leave some traces..."

Seeing that the situation was a little stiff, Stella spoke softly: "You discovered him first, what characteristics does he have?"

Assassins die without a whole corpse, or even in body and spirit, this is the most troublesome place.

Although the criminal investigation technology of the other world is far less advanced, developed and systematic than that of the earth, the fundamental principle of forensic technology is to find a way to allow the dead to speak.

Although there is no scientific method in the other world, and there is no rigorous and developed anatomy and autopsy system, they... can make the dead speak on the physical level.

Basically, with corpses, secret spells from the palace, and special skills recruited in the dark world, you can find important clues directly from the dead, and you can even go a step further, open the Nether Vision, and collect the soul fragments of the dead. Forcibly ask.

But the main messenger who sent the assassin obviously took this situation into consideration, and the dead man took a deadly blow, the soul and body were all burnt clean, and there was no evidence of death.

Then Kant's eyewitness testimony may be the only clue to track down.

Kant thought for a while and replied, "Shadow... I only saw a shadow."

Stella asked: "Is he summoning the shadows, hiding his whereabouts, walking in the shadows? Or..."

After asking this, Stella saw Kant's dazed expression, remembering that the other party didn't know much about magic skills, so she waved her hand to turn off the magic chandelier in the room, and then held a staff, urging the spell, the strong shadow The mist wrapped her body, and under the gaze of everyone, her graceful body blended into the night.

"is that so?"

The fire was shining, and the flame of the phoenix took off in Kant's eyes, and he looked at Stella. In the phoenix vision, he could see a female body constructed of shadows, bulging forward and backward, and the shadows shone with magical aura.

Recalling the situation at the time, it was clearly not the case.

Kant shook his head and said, "No, he turned into a shadow, crawling and swimming against the ground..."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the Grand Duke, Stella, Hillmeria, and even several important officials in the office changed greatly, and even Tina, who had been holding Kant all the time, raised her head in surprise.

Kant frowned: "What's wrong?"

Shock, disbelief, and even fear appeared on the Grand Duke's face.

He asked, "Are you sure? You read that right? Is that so?"

He looked so shocked that his tone leaned towards disbelief and questioning.

"Is it any good for me to make this up?" Kant asked rhetorically, "You know him?"

The lights came on again, shining on everyone's face, everyone's face was shocked.

"…Do not."

This time it was Hillmeria who spoke.

The hand of Sword Saint Puxue subconsciously held the hilt and whispered, "We may know his master."

"Who?"

The Grand Duke closed his eyes, this name can only make him feel pain now.

"Cid...Cid-Karam."
