Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

"Believe it or not."

The Phoenix King's voice was flat and casual.

As if she really didn't care what Kant thought.

The counter son attached to Kant's left arm inserted a knife just right.

Or rather, a little bit of work.

"Actually, ma'am."

A giant red electronic eye lit up over Kant's shoulders, making his old father look like he'd changed from a Winter Soldier to a G-Virus infection.

Horus said angrily: "If you don't care, why do you explain, and deliberately say things like 'believe it or not', and still stay here waiting for father to come? I don't understand."

"…To shut up!"

Kant and Delilah shouted at the same time.

But obviously, there must be two things in the minds of humans and elves.

After speaking in unison, Kant and the Phoenix King looked at each other, and then looked away at the same time.

"...Anyway," Kant said, "Are you all right?"

After he said it, he realized that he had asked a stupid question. Just kidding, that was the Phoenix King, one of the most powerful people in the world, and the battle was over in such a short time.

Sure enough, Delilah snorted and said stiffly, "It's okay."

"Then..." Kant looked around, "Where's the intruder?"

"Of course I was caught."

"…Where?"

The Phoenix King said lightly, "Does it have anything to do with you?"

Kant was stunned for a moment, then put his hands together, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty the Phoenix King, who is kind and kind, who sees the road unevenly, and is beautiful and lovely, please give the mere captives to the little ones."

The iron son on the left arm shook slightly.

—It's really yours, father.

At the same time, it was the sound of the armor rubbing, and the Phoenix King even subconsciously took two steps back. His voice was stunned and shaken, and then he shouted, "It's frivolous! I'm rude! It's not rude!"

Then her voice became smaller, and the head wearing the full-cover Phoenix Wing Helmet shook slightly from side to side: "I... my kindness and kindness can only be bestowed on my people!"

The crimson electronic eyes opened again: "As we all know, father, marriage is the highest form of allegiance."

"-To shut up!"

"Yes."

The two precise jumping swords by the son of Tie, the strangeness, embarrassment and hostility brought about by Kant and Dereira's first reunion since the Battle of Danfeng Lucerne were washed away.

"Anyway... Anyway!"

After a moment of silence, the Phoenix King forced his voice to become cold again: "Before the peace and peace treaty was signed, we were still enemies! As the emperor of the elves, I cannot help the enemy! But the exchange is possible! I can't give you my captives for nothing!"

understood.

Kant understands.

Then he raised a finger and gave the price: "Ten boxes of Sprite."

"Okay...I don't want this!"

"Add five boxes of Langweixian."

"...Do you think this kind of playful proposal can kill me?"

"Ten boxes of lard residue."

"…Hey!"

"The white rabbit toffee that can drown you."

"Gu..."

The faint sound of swallowing saliva.

"Okay, no kidding."

Kant stopped joking when he saw that the heat was almost over.

He had already grasped this metric in Valentine's Day. According to the embarrassing and hostile relationship between the two, Tag... Delilah's upper limit of endurance should be shortened by 20%. She gave up her disguise and showed her true face. The mentality of female elves is more difficult to grasp and more difficult to get along with, leaving room for the chaotic and elusive parts, the current Derela can probably endure the level of teasing about 60% of the Valentine's period - I calculate What is this doing.

He said sternly: "Then, Your Majesty, please state your quid pro quo."

Hearing the words, the Phoenix King watched him quietly. This gaze brought a lot of pressure. The most important thing was that the opponent's face was hidden in the battle helmet. It is impossible to judge the psychological activities and intentions of the other party.

After all, she is the Phoenix King now, and she can't treat her in the same way as "Tagris".

While thinking about it, I heard Derrila ask: "You and Princess Tina... that one?"

Kant's expression became strange.

What kind of **** is this.

But still honestly said, "No."

After all, the phoenix vision penetrates the hearts of the people, it is pointless to lie, and it will be laughed at.

The Phoenix King was speechless, because she was wearing a helmet, so she couldn't see her expression.

"Father, her figure has undergone a subtle change, the reason is that the tight body began to loosen, and, with the center line of the body as the axis, her body has swayed no more than one degree..."

The left arm was turned over by Tie Son, and the five fingers of the left hand were close together. Such handwriting appeared in the palm of the hand, flashing red light, appearing one by one, and then disappearing one by one.

Kant glanced at it, and before he had time to think about it, he heard the Phoenix King ask: "Why don't you do it? Does she refuse? You saved Goethe, and she doesn't even intend to express this kind of gratitude?"

The words are obviously injustice for Kant - but what's the matter with that looming smile?

Before he could speak, the Phoenix King said again: "Tell the truth! Don't lie! From now on, I will keep an eye on you, you must be honest, if there is half a lie, then I will leave immediately and attack the Maple Leaf Palace twice. Criminals, you don't want to see them in your life."

Kant sighed: "Okay... Tina's plan, I don't know, but if it's my idea, I don't have such a mind, I'm not helping Goethe for Tina's body and other reasons, My motivation stems from the sacrifices of my friends, and the brave ones have more intense emotions and will, rather than simple love, pursuit, or dog licking mentality..."

The sacrifice of friends, the resistance and will of the Goethes, these motives and reasons, the Phoenix King just listened, she grasped the most crucial information: "You don't love Tina?"

"If it is the kind of love that can sacrifice everything for her, you must stay with her for the rest of your life, and have many children. She is indispensable in this life. Without her, I would rather die. If it is such love, it is not there yet."

-temporary.

The Phoenix King asked again, "So, are you planning to marry Tina?"

In the eyes of the king or most people in this world, marriage and love are not necessarily connected.

Kant shrugged and said, "Not yet."

"Why not?" Derrella said, "Princess Tina's appearance, even I will admire, she looks like a good woman, and she is grateful enough to you, there is enough goodwill between you, love can be nurtured after marriage, Combining with Princess Goethe will strengthen your alliance and..."

Kant interrupted her words and sighed: "I'm not used to making my marriage utilitarian, and I don't plan to get married for the time being. There's only one reason..."

"Why? I want to know."

Wow, you are such an idiot.

In the vision of the other party's analysis of lies, Kant sighed, in order to let the Phoenix King see more clearly that he was not lying, he looked up at the other party's eyes, but his eyes involuntarily glanced to the side, and said softly: "Because ...I haven't decided yet."

Tina, Xiaoman, Aang, and even other women... These beautiful faces come to mind, one after another. He is not stupid. He knows Tina's deep affection and Aang's attachment to himself. The gentle boy in the story chooses none of them, and would rather keep dragging them, because after choosing, all the old relationships will immediately deteriorate and disintegrate, leading to a disordered future.

Escape is shameful but useful, so the happy light comedy of love can continue, tomorrow's things will be discussed tomorrow, and, men are big hooves, children make choices, Kant thinks that he is already a mature adult, and he also has something in his heart. With stupid, naive and greedy ambitions, that is...

"-wishful thinking!"

The death of the Phoenix King resounded in his mind, shattering his naive delusions.

Kant came back to his senses, facing Dereira's gaze, and only saw the two groups of flaming phoenix flames showing through the T-shaped opening of the Phoenix Winged Battle Helmet. It was the Phoenix King condemning him and judging him with an unprecedented severe gaze.

The look evoked his shame and made him feel like a shameful cockroach on the Chinese internet social media platform, surrounded by boxers from all directions, beating like a light-turning light with a fist of light like a shooting star. , he was shaking all over, his hands and feet were cold, and he was sweating on a hot day.

He bowed his head in shame and apologized for his greed, delusion and objectification of women: "I'm sorry, I was wrong, I shouldn't have such shameful and greedy thoughts, delusional things I shouldn't get..."

At least at this moment, Kant's guilt and shame were unprecedentedly sincere, the sincerity of his tone, and the humility of his gestures, all came from the sincerity, and this sincerity was reflected in the vision of the Phoenix King directly to his soul.

Then Kant heard Derelah's shaking voice.

"I...I'm a little heavy, actually...in fact, it's not even a chance...no...I mean...forget it! How do you think it has anything to do with me!"

Her tone became louder, and she also showed impatience: "Do what you like! I can't control it!"

Kant saw that the fire in the helmet was even brighter, and the light almost filled the entire helmet. The voice of the Phoenix King sounded again: "Then... I said my conditions!"

"…Please say."

"There is only one condition for taking prisoners from me!" the Phoenix King declared, "that is you, Kant, you are not allowed to marry Tina-Teddariel!"

ah?

Kant showed a dazed look - where did you come from, Zhou Zhiruo?

He was stunned: "Why?"

"No why!"

Derrella first said very powerful words, and immediately felt the need to explain, so she sneered: "If you don't marry Tina, the relationship with Goethe will not be completely consolidated and bound, the righteous deeds will not last, and the covenant will have no foundation. , sooner or later there will be a way to divide and disintegrate you... hum hum hum..."

- But the Grand Duke has two daughters and a younger sister.

Of course, don't say this kind of thing in front of her, Kant shook his head, although the idea is good, but it doesn't make much sense, after all, not being able to get married doesn't mean that you can't [beep-], and besides, getting married or not, There is no necessary connection with whether he helps Goethe or not, and this condition is not harsh.

"What about the time limit?" he asked.

Delilah said without hesitation: "Of course forever!"

"That can't be done." Kant looked at the Phoenix King, "I will be at a disadvantage by exchanging this permanent promise for a prisoner. This is not a fair deal."

The fire in the Phoenix King's helmet became a little more vigorous: "What are you delusional about?"

After a while, she snorted: "Forget it, then the time limit, you can't marry Tina until everything is settled this time - so, can you?"

Kant frowned: "What happened this time? Is it the war between Goethe and the elves?"

"Of course not... Kant, the parliament restarted the war behind my back, where did their courage come from? Who is the leader of the attack that happened tonight? Kant, although I don't have a firm certainty, I can feel it coming from somewhere. The maliciousness in the last time was unintentionally thwarted, but the group of enemies will not let it go. You help Goethe and show more and more influence and deterrence, the greater the potential threat you face. , who is the enemy and who is the friend, you better know."

Kant was slightly shocked.

The enemy from beyond.

That was one of the main reasons why Derela came to Valentine. The attack on him was inadvertently thwarted by Snowfall Sword Saint, but according to Hillmeria, it was a once-in-a-lifetime formidable enemy, and it was fighting Before, the other party consumed a lot and suffered a lot of injuries, otherwise, she might not be able to survive.

He asked: "Tonight's attack...is it related to them?"

"I don't know, and I won't interfere with your judgment. As far as I know, they will not only send minions directly, but also have their hidden servants in the mortal world, but who is planning the incident tonight, is it an enemy from outside the sky, or is it Mortal enemies, leave it to your own judgment."

The Phoenix King said, "Then, do you agree?"

Kant confirmed: "So, what do you mean, wait until our car overturns those days when there are foreign guests..."

"It's so long-winded! It's until I clean up the internal problems of the elves and end the conflict between the song and the moon!" She said dissatisfiedly, "If you continue to bargain, I will leave!"

"Okay!" Kant said, "Deal! Deal!"

The Phoenix King snorted again, swung the sword of the king, the sword opened the void, and a figure covered in blood fell out: "The forbidden secret law of the Royal Family of the Moon Moon is attached, you don't have to worry about what will happen to him."

She glanced outside: "The Goethes who can't be your wife, aunt, father-in-law, and sister-in-law for the time being are coming back, I don't want to see them, let's go, by the way, this..."

She seemed to want to come up with something when she heard Kant shout, "Wait!"

Delilah stopped.

Kant said: "The trick just now... you can hide things in some kind of space?"

The Phoenix King said: "This is more troublesome to teach... No, I don't want to teach you!"

Who wants you to teach me, I also have the portable space, take it out and scare you to death.

Kant shook his head and said, "Wait."

After breaking through the dim light and returning to the White Mist World, he went straight to somewhere in the community. It took less than a minute before and after, and he reappeared carrying a large and small box. This was already prepared.

"Take it, it's all your favorite food."

Kant carried a box twice as tall as him and walked to Dereira: "Is there a place to pack it? Otherwise, you can only carry it and run out of Danfeng Lucerne."

Delilah took the box without a word, the space opened a hole, and these things disappeared instantly.

Before leaving, she roughly stuffed the things in her hands into Kant's pocket.

"Take it, weak guy." She said gruffly, "Return the gift, and throw it away if you doubt it."

Before Kant could take it out, the other party flashed and disappeared.

Kant took out that thing. It was a ring with a simple shape and an engraved holy pattern. The shape was not in the style of an elf. It shone with a very familiar light... That's right!

Kant immediately remembered that this power fluctuation was completely homologous to the crimson scroll that the bus gave him.

This is…

He raised his head, the figure of the Phoenix King had disappeared, and it was obvious that Derela had the same bad habit as the gods—not giving instructions.

"Father."

Iron Son spoke again.

"Um?"

Horus' voice was solemn, admirable and convincing: "I admit, you are stronger now, I lost, and there is still a lot to learn."

"Um????"

In any case, it was not a waste of time tonight.

Kant looked at the captive who was beaten by the Phoenix King, who was lying on the ground like a dead pig.

You cost me thousands of dollars to buy it.

We have to get close.
