Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

"Cid...Cid-Karam."

The voice of the Grand Duke drifted in the room, and the air was dead silent.

No one spoke.

This name... From Danfeng Lucerne to Valentine, no one knows it, no one knows it.

Prime Minister Goethe.

The legendary virtuous prime minister has an epic friendship with the grand duke. He has served the country conscientiously for decades. The friendship and friendship he gained with the prince and ministers of the grand duke of Reknos has made the whole continent talk about it with great prestige. , adored by the people, revered in the political arena, he has a pivotal influence in this country, calm, decisive, wise, cautious, diligent, never slack, never make mistakes.

As much respect for the gracious and benevolent Archduke, there is much reverence for the ruthless and tough Prime Minister.

They complement each other and govern the country together. They complement each other and are indispensable.

And now...

Dead silence, no one speaks.

Cid, the name has another meaning for Kant.

He's the...father of Cleveland Cavaliers.

A close friend who will never be forgotten in his life, a person who is of great significance to his life, in a sense, his own death completely changed Kant's life, and the far-reaching influence not only allowed him to return home, but also shaped Kant's life. Kant's current personality and temperament...and the Prime Minister is the father of the knight.

He had fled and did not want to see the knight's family, but after summoning the courage to visit, he was disappointed. The Prime Minister was not willing to forgive him, and as a father, he was not grateful to him.

even…

He looked around at everyone: "Are you sure?"

The voice was a little muffled.

Stella looked around at the people around her. The important officials were reluctant to speak. Her father and aunt had a very deep personal relationship with Uncle Cid. Tina, like Kant, was also shocked by such a thing. It involved the dead knight, and even more so. It was the extreme contradiction in her heart, she sighed, she could only speak.

"Invisibility, stealth..." She whispered, "The principle of this kind of hidden secrets is to distort light, or to mobilize shadows, or to integrate into the environment, or to blind the target's senses, basically these are the types of methods. The category, the shadow ability we often say, is to use the secret method to mobilize the shadow energy, contain the body, obtain the power of shadow walking, and rely on the darkness to hide the body..."

"But mobilizing shadows, and incarnating shadows, are two very different concepts."

"The former is a widely used stealth skill, while the latter is a magical ability that only appeared in ancient legends. It has already disappeared in the present world, and it is almost unimaginable..."

Stella glanced at her father and said softly: "In today's era, completing elementalization and obtaining an immortal body is the top task of legendary mages. In other words, mortals can no longer rely on acquired efforts to achieve this feat. Now... Only some people who are still favored by the gods and have the blessings of the gods can show this kind of element affinity that subverts the laws of the world. Such people are very few, very few, very few."

After all, she took into account her father's mood and didn't speak too much.

But Kant can understand.

He said slowly: "In other words, there are very few people with the talent to incarnate shadows, very few, very few, and even you have only known one case so far?"

"…Yes."

Tina whispered: "Shadow Guard Cole, Prime Minister Cid's personal guard captain, has made a lot of credit for Goethe. In an accident when his father was young, he and the Prime Minister helped his father escape from Danfeng Lucerne. They A few people together, and my aunt, finally regained the power..."

From the dragon minister.

...and more than that.

In terms of the characters of the Grand Duke and the Sword Saint of Waterfall Snow, it must have been a magnificent story of life and death, sharing wealth and honor, and the friendship born in such a story will be remembered forever.

So unacceptable.

At this moment, Archduke Reknos said: "...framed and framed."

He looked at Kant with a very firm tone: "Cid wouldn't do this kind of thing, and Cole wouldn't do this kind of thing. Although the shadow ability is rare, it will never only be used by Cole. This must be a conspirator. If you want to take the opportunity to frame and frame Xide... you must not be fooled!"

Standing on the side, Sword Saint Waterfall said slowly: "I also believe that they will not do this."

Kant looked at the Sword Saint Puxue, and then at the Grand Duke. Although the two of them were firm, there was still a trace of shake and pain in their eyes. They were also suspicious, and they were also hesitating.

But so what.

Just as he was about to speak, he felt his right hand tighten, and Tina squeezed his hand.

Then, Tina said: "Then let Prime Minister Cid and Cole Shadow Guard themselves prove their innocence."

All eyes were on her.

Father, aunt, sister, and ministers... Tina responded to these gazes with icy and decisive eyes, and said decisively: "Please send an order, father, to summon Prime Minister Cid and Shadow Guard Cole to come to the Maple Leaf Palace immediately... Then order again. The second brother leads the army to monitor all the entrances and exits of the Prime Minister's residence, and if there is turmoil and resistance, immediately order the army to attack and kill all the resisters!"

She said coldly: "Whether it was done by the Prime Minister, we will know by looking at the results."

The Grand Duke looked shocked and subconsciously shouted, "Tina!"

Tina said indifferently: "Father, is there anything wrong with the arrangement of the daughter? If the Prime Minister is innocent, he will bring Mr. Cole to the Maple Leaf Palace immediately, and the misunderstanding will be resolved naturally. If the Prime Minister wants to run away, or resist stubbornly. , then he is a national treason who is trying to destroy Goth's defense and provoked a war with the dragon race, if that's the case, then he won't be able to see the sun tomorrow!"

The Grand Duke murmured, "Maybe he was just confused for a while..."

"Father!"

Tina said sharply, "What are you talking about now?"

Several high-ranking officials were surprised to find that Tina, the weak, beautiful and kind little princess who had been recognized by Goethe for more than ten years, was roaring at the Grand Duke with her fierce eyes and resolute expression.

She took a step forward, her blue eyes were no longer a calm sky, but a roaring tsunami, raging in it, mixed with blood, death and violence.

"Confused for a while... You have been confused many times before, but the Prime Minister is not confused and can always clean up the situation for you, but now, if the Prime Minister is confused, as the Goethe monarch, you cannot be confused at all!"

She said sternly: "If you don't deal with this matter today, I will ask Kant personally! If there is a big trouble then, the dignity of the country will be lost, and the Dragon Clan will know about it. You - again! Want! What! What! manage!"

Whether it was the Grand Duke or Stella, or Kant, or the important officials in the office, it was the first time that Tina looked like this. , that Princess Tina who summoned volunteers and stirred up the situation in the north of the empire was really far away and dreamy.

And now, the lioness finally shows her sharp claws in front of her father.

The Grand Duke was even momentarily stunned, unable to utter a word.

Kant stretched out his hand and gently pulled Tina back.

The people in front of Tina saw that Her Royal Highness's eyes gradually turned from sharp to soft, like a sharp blade that was gradually retracted into its sheath, and retreated to Kant's side.

"Grand Duke, it's not me who was injured today, so this matter can't be left alone."

Kant said: "Please come to Prime Minister Cid, bring that Cole, whether he did it, and see if Cole is alive, you can conclude eight points, I promise you, even if it is him, I will not. I'm going to kill him, no matter what, I'm not going to kill Cleveland's father this time."

The Grand Duke sighed.

"Armed Phase..."

Goethe's court armed phase took a step forward: "Yes."

"Please go to the Prime Minister's official residence, and ask the Prime Minister to bring Shadow Guard Cole to the Maple Leaf Palace." The Grand Duke closed his eyes and said slowly, "Bring more people and be vigilant, you know what I'm talking about."

"Follow your will."

"Knight Commander."

"My lord, await orders."

"You go to Landiston and order the First Spark Rider Battalion of the Gladiolus Legion to move towards Kelam Street..."

The orders come one by one.

Every command was precise and clear, but the voice of the order was exhausted and heavy.

Finally, his eyes turned to Kant.

"Mr. Kant."

"You say."

"If... I mean if."

He said slowly: "If it's really Xide, what are you going to do with him?"

Kant turned his head and looked out the window, as if the terrifying shock had not dissipated, he watched helplessly as the unstoppable powerful force engulfed Horus' body, and the feeling at that time still lingers in his heart.

"Then I also say if."

"If the person who was attacked was me, I might forgive him for the last time, but it was not me who was attacked and injured, and I am not qualified to forgive the victim."

Kant was silent for a moment, and his tone had become stern: "So, if he really ordered, then what Horus is now, he has to become."

"This revenge is limited to tit-for-tat, which is my biggest concession."

After a while, the Archduke nodded lightly: "That's reasonable...Thank you."

Kant said lightly: "No, it's not because of you."

Cold again.

Stella looked at Tina, then at her father, and at her aunt. She sighed in her heart. She knew that she was also squatting at San Covillo University. Why should she stay at the Maple Leaf Palace? It was her turn. Lively atmosphere.

Usually Tina should do this...

She said: "You don't have to be so pessimistic, maybe someone is really framed..."

"Don't be stupid, second sister, everyone feels pessimistic because of this." Tina said calmly, "If someone framed it, it would be even more terrifying. The ability to transform into a shadow is rare in the world. He has been recruited and harassed hundreds of times. With this talent, it is possible to become a master assassin. The mastermind behind the attack can use such a scarce and precious shadow ability as a one-time consumable. If it is not for the Prime Minister Yes, who would that be?"

"…"

Stella choked on the spot.

Kant shook his body and lightly touched Tina beside him.

Tina said immediately, "I'm sorry, second sister."

"…"

She felt that the little sister was very aggressive tonight.

It's fried...

But Tina's statement is not a bullshit. This possibility does cast a shadow over the attack. It's a dilemma. Is it the Prime Minister who did it? The results are all bad...

Stella looked at her father's solemn expressions and sighed softly.

God of the sun, why did Goethe go through so much hardship?

The windows were broken, the night wind was blowing, and the room was silent. Everyone was waiting for the result, but they didn't even know which result they wanted to hear.

There was a long silence, no one said a word, only Kant held Tina with his left hand, and his right hand was held by the gorilla who was not to be outdone. The others watched and filled their hearts.

Footsteps from far to near.

Like a switch, the frozen time was turned on, and the performance of the Snowfall Swordsman and the Grand Duke was the most violent, and almost the whole person shuddered.

The Archduke was fine, but Hillmeria was obviously not as decisive as that dinner party that day. She, the Archduke, Prime Minister Cid and even that Cole obviously had a deep friendship.

Archduke Reknos looked out the door, then his face turned pale.

Because the only ones who came over were the court armed ministers and a few guards.

The Grand Duke's tone was trembling: "Where's Xide?"

"I was ordered to see the Prime Minister's official residence, the butler said, the Prime Minister is resting, I insisted on seeing the Prime Minister, said the Grand Duke's order, and asked him to go to the Maple Leaf Palace immediately. , you are not allowed to leave the mansion before ten o'clock in the daytime..."

Everyone's expressions slowly changed.

Reknos slowly clenched his fists: "He hasn't shown up? Then what?"

"The minister made his own decision. After all, this matter was very serious, so he forced his way into the prime minister's house and shouted and made a lot of noise. The prime minister finally appeared, and after asking what happened, he still refused to come, saying that his wife was sick and he wanted to take care of him. , as for the attack on His Royal Highness Kant..."

He glanced at Kant and said: "The prime minister said that it has nothing to do with him, he has no advice to offer, and he is more reluctant to leave his wife who is mad and ill due to the loss of a child at night to work on the affairs of His Royal Highness Kant. If There is something that must be done by the Prime Minister, ask the Grand Duke to appoint an acting Prime Minister, or directly remove him from office, it doesn't matter, he...he also said some inappropriate things."

The Grand Duke said solemnly, "Where's Cole?"

"When the minister entered, I didn't see it, and I didn't dare to ask. I was afraid that it would attract the attention of the Prime Minister. This matter is very important, so I had to come back and report to Your Excellency the Grand Duke."

The armed minister lowered his head and said: "But please rest assured, Your Highness Landiston has ordered the Gladiator Mage to monitor the tunnels, entrances and exits and spatial fluctuations near the Prime Minister's residence to ensure that no one can leave the Prime Minister's residence without permission. He asked me to come back and ask you for instructions. , what to do."

The Grand Duke was silent for a long time, then turned around and walked outside.

"He won't come, let's go."
