Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

In recent days, all the haze has been swept away.

At this moment, Hong San felt something in his heart. He suddenly understood why Master called the Holy Monarch Beichen.

This is indeed the case, because at the moment Kant appeared, all the sorrows and troubles in his heart disappeared, the conspiracy of the countries, the turmoil within Goethe, everything was nothing to worry about.

The stars are arching...not without reason.

Deterrence has been re-established.

With a long sigh of relief, he stood up and saluted Kant.

Kant turned to his side, letting the sunlight shining through the window shone sideways: "How about it, the pressure these days is probably not small, shouldn't it scare you?"

Hong San smiled and said, "Where is this going? The lord Yu Wei is still here, and his troops are strong. It is far from a desperate situation, and there is still a lot of room for it... No matter how difficult the situation is, I can defend it. This is my duty."

Kant nodded and said: "Then my duty is to try not to let my subordinates fight and stick to a situation close to the limit... This time there was a little accident, and I will try to avoid it in the future."

Hong San nodded with a smile: "This is exactly what I hoped."

The two smiled at each other.

A warm current surged in his heart, which made Hong San feel an indescribable comfort and invigoration.

Master once said that as a minister, the greatest blessing is not to be the emperor's teacher or the emperor's friend, those are all empty, the former is a clay sculpture offered up, and the latter is a domestic dog with its tail between its tails.

And a better situation than this is just four words - the ruler and the minister get each other.

It's not the kind that is painted up in the history books, but the real like-minded and sincere.

Just like now, His Royal Highness Kant has his battlefield, and Hong San also has his own battlefield. The monarch and his ministers fight on their own battlefield, and they have entrusted and trusted each other. After returning from victory, they just looked at each other and smiled, just like His Highness never said The dangerous twists and turns he has experienced, Hong San doesn't have to talk about his hardships and dangers.

This is the so-called monarch and minister.

Master, is this what you want in your life...

- But this feeling and warmth only lasted for five seconds.

"—So you can tell me what you have done these days."

Hong San was shocked at first, then laughed.

He found that he had been with His Highness for a long time, and he had also learned a little bit of good habits. He touched his head and pretended to be modest: "According to His Highness's words, hundreds of miscreants and nobles were shot and shot, and then they were shot. Hit the Maple Leaf Palace and buried two bombs in the hall of audience, threatening the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty."

Kant said proudly: "I'm quite arrogant. Not long ago, a wave of shipborne anti-aircraft missiles killed more than a dozen giant dragons, dismantled half of the imperial fleet, and captured the council and the elves' fleet. Now they are all standing obediently at the far port, crying and begging me to throw them into the prisoner of war camp."

Even though His Highness's vanity has been penetrated, so follow his words and lead him to bristle for satisfaction, Hong San is still stunned when he hears the words: "Ah...this..."

Damn, I thought you wanted me to guard the middle road and you were going to steal the tower. How did you smash the fist company - if Hong San was from the earth, he would probably complain like this.

The stunned only lasted for a moment. Hong San glanced at the proud Kant, pondered for five seconds, and said, "Could it be that the rumor that the mysterious element has a strong ability to infect and erode is true? The mission that escaped from the Dragon Legion. The members were infected, and then launched an attack on the Three Kingdoms fleet, and caused irreversible erosion and decay to half of the imperial fleet, His Highness finally came out to clean up the mess?"

Kant stared blankly: "How do you..."

Hong San smiled lightly: "Just think about it, if His Highness returned to the ground, he would start a killing spree and take the initiative to attack the Three Kingdoms Fleet and the Dragon Legion, and if more than half of the slaughtered, it would mean that a full-scale war was almost inevitable. He would stand in front of me so leisurely, with a triumphant look in his hands, and the pride of holding someone else's handle, without any murderous intent."

"…"

"—You said that the sailors of various countries are crying and begging you to throw them into the prisoner-of-war camp quickly. It should be that they were also infected to varying degrees, and His Highness has the ability to clear the infection... So it is, this is one of the bargaining chips in the negotiation. One, forcing the nations to submit."

"…"

"But it's not enough just to use some infected sailors as a bargaining chip. The biggest bargaining chip is the deterrence of force. I think, Your Highness should also show a new deterrence that is different from the forbidden spell. You can confirm this from the side. I remember this expression when you brought out a new strange and powerful alchemy weapon to defend the city in Valentine, and this time you can kill a dozen infected dragons and wipe out half of the fleet, it should be A bigger and stronger alchemical weapon."

"…"

"Combining with the words you mentioned 'ship-based anti-aircraft missile', I know what a missile is. The ultimate strike weapon with high speed and long distance mentioned by His Royal Highness, anti-aircraft missile is naturally to deal with the enemy in the air, this ship-based...I Think, His Highness may have taken out a boat, a big good boat."

"...Well, don't force it!" Kant said, "You want to eat crispy again, don't you?"

...Axi, there are too many things to tell this fellow.

Actually remembered.

"Okay, okay, you have already guessed it all, this is the situation." Kant waved his hand impatiently, "I have come out, the deterrence has been re-established, and the countries dare not use aggressive methods... The external enemies are no longer there. It's time for you to talk about the internals."

Hong San lowered his head and said, "His Royal Highness has already guessed it, why should I say it again."

Kant fell silent.

He looked at the warm sunlight outside the window and said slowly, "I still want to hear a different answer."

The loyal servant shattered his illusion: "His Royal Highness has experienced ups and downs and turbulence, so he should be aware of the fragility of the human heart, such as the people of Huisha Town, the people of Valentine, and the people of Danfeng Lucerne, what exceptions will there be? What? If loyalty and greatness were common qualities, there would be no such words at all."

Kant exhaled slowly.

He had seen before that there were large groups of people gathered near the Maple Leaf Palace.

Plain clothes, ragged clothes, luxurious clothes, all kinds of people.

petition, or force the palace.

Why did they come, who was instigated by them, and what purpose did they have? You don't have to listen to them to know.

How the people in Far Harbor were incited, these people are exactly the same.

The irony is that after the battle between these people and Danfeng Lucerne, those who cried, appreciated and praised Kant were the same group.

He shook his head and said, "It's only been a few days..."

Hong San calmly said: "Gratefulness and praise from the bottom of my heart are also time-sensitive."

Kant snorted.

He thought of Moyani, of the Comorans who had been instigated by the French when the plague of worms was coming, and they had gathered, resentful and furious, and hated their king.

Afterwards, those people were not held accountable, and they continued to praise the king's kindness and greatness, as if the previous memory did not exist, and the king did not investigate and care.

Kant whispered: "You said, what should I do?"

"This is the monarch's decision, and it is not for the servants to put their beak."

Hong San came to Kant: "All I can do is to remind His Highness two things."

"Say."

"The first thing is the reason why these civilians were incited and gathered."

Hong San's face was reflected in the bright sunlight: "They gathered outside the Maple Leaf Palace not because they thought Goethe wanted to give up the struggle for hegemony and become a peaceful and quiet small country, or because they believed in the promises of the countries and felt that Goethe could act as a leader. A detached kingdom exists, they gather, they are angry, they are dissatisfied, they are incited, the only reason they act..."

Aurora turned his head and looked at Kant.

"Just because... in the past three days, the price of food in the city has risen eightfold."

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple."

"I see."

"It makes sense."

Kant nodded and said, "The second thing."

"The second thing is also a reminder, reminding His Highness to see it."

"Master said that this world is three parts black, six parts gray, and one part white."

"Sometimes the six points of ash can be black enough, at least it's clearly different from that of Bai, so some people think that nine points of the world are all black, messy, and hopeless."

"But there are also other people who think that it is worthwhile for him to work hard."

Hong San stretched out his hand and pressed Kant's shoulder: "Look at the crowds of people outside the palace, and the foolish people curse and howl, but think about it, in this whole city, inside the buildings, is there a faint voice that is talking to me? You firmly argue, even if the people in this city lose their conscience, then please take a look at the loyal warriors around here, the brave people from Valentine abide by their loyalty and believe in everything about you, in the Maple Leaf Palace, There is at least one beautiful girl who has always believed in your promise..."

He looked at Kant's profile and smiled slightly: "At least, if you say that the Goethes are all ungrateful bastards, I think these loyal soldiers outside will be sad and disappointed by this."

Kant was silent.

The retainer took two steps back and waited intently.

"Hong San... I was in the ground and saw something. It was magnificent and magnificent, and there were countless mysteries, opportunities and futures hidden there. It was a gift and wealth from the previous era. I accepted this gift, and I also saw the vagueness about the future. The picture, but not exhaustive, the only thing I know, that's all, a difficult war awaits me in the future, but not hopeless."

"to this end…"

Kant paused: "We need power, more power, more power."

Hong San pondered for a moment: "Understood... So you still have to reach some kind of agreement with Goethe?"

"Of course... not!" Kant said coldly, "How old are they?"

He walked quickly to the door.

Hong San followed closely: "Then what is your Highness going to do?"

"How to do it? Do what feels good!" Kant shouted, "With the potential of a great victory, breaking through the crisis on all sides, it is they who should be afraid. Why should I look forward and fear?"

He turned his head to look at Hong San: "You are right, the people gathered to protest because the price of food has skyrocketed and there is no food, and the nobles are against me because they are vested interests and feel no need to take risks, you tell me This is to remind me that it is very simple to want them to sincerely support and loyal to me."

"It's just a distribution of benefits, so that all classes know it's profitable."

"Follow me, eat meat, the general rule, it's all said in the online text, but you didn't say it all, before that, I have to let them know another thing, that is..."

"—against me, and you will be beaten!"

He kicked the door open, and the guards turned their heads in amazement, then showed ecstasy.

"Assemble!" Kant shouted, "please watch a movie!"

Five minutes later, the chariots roared and roared loudly, and the light and heavy vehicles, which were made hideous by the greenskins with bones, shields, wooden thorns, iron guns and even paint, roared forward and rushed across the broad avenue.

In the chaotic crowd, the provocative spy saw the figure standing on the frontmost vehicle, his eyes widened suddenly, showing an unbelievable look, and then extreme panic.

Wherever the convoy went, the engine roared and rumbled loudly, extinguishing all the excited discussions and generous speeches in cafes, pubs, etc., and there was silence.

The square on the south side of the Maple Leaf Palace, the ceremonial place for national festival celebrations, a large number of protesters gathered here, they made a loud cry, nobles and scholars are their leaders, people shouted, calling for peace, rejecting conspiracy and war, they Fanatical, shouting, and even tearful, these ordinary people discovered their own power for the first time. The power of everyone gathered together is enough to shock Danfeng Lucerne, shake the Maple Leaf Palace, change this country, and even this world .

But this illusion was broken after a moment, and the people at the back had heard the roar of the engine. They turned around in amazement and saw the shadow standing on the alchemy chariot.

Not the Aurora Butcher they hated and spurned, but another.

"Kang... Kang..."

The dead silence spread quickly, and the solemn atmosphere swept from the rear to the front like a cold wave, as if it was telepathy between groups. One second, the frenzied people roared involuntarily, and the next moment they closed their mouths uncomfortably, and they turned around in surprise. , boundless fear suddenly descended.

They insulted Kant, rebuked Kant, and criticized Kant. They fought their fears collectively, and covered up their fears with noise. It was almost absurd to think that as long as they gathered together to protest, Kant would succumb to their will. to their heads.

- Now, the evil thief of Aurora, who they call selfish and evil, has ulterior motives, has appeared.

But no one dared to stand up to rebuke and question.

The impassioned scholars dare not, the nobles who are upright and awe-inspiring do not dare, the ruffians who use money to make trouble do not dare, and the commoners who are coerced by them dare not.

A rare spectacle has appeared. If there are sociologists here, they will definitely take this incident as a precious observation sample, collective violence, collective fanaticism, collective blindness, and collective fear.

Because of extreme fanaticism and fear, human beings are as coordinated as a whole.

It was as if there was a phantom and formless demon that strangled everyone by the throat.

Kant's cold eyes swept across the square.

In fact, because of the distance, only a small number of people who were closest saw Kant's gaze, but the huge number of people in the huge square couldn't help but bow their heads, even if they looked from them, Kant was only a small point in the distance. ...but they still felt that Kant was looking at himself.

Then they heard a thunderous roar: "Make way!"

The engine roared, and the crowd quickly separated like a tide. They retreated hurriedly and quickly, countless chests against their backs, and the staggering pace crowded around, and then they heard a shout: "Slow down!"

So the flustered body became stiff and slow.

A possible large crowd and riot was silently subsided.

Kant spit on the ground: "Fuck."

Hong San, who was in charge of driving the car, shook his head: "Smear the hero who saved himself with good intentions as a terrible demon, and then sincerely fear him... Minzhi..."

Stepping on the accelerator, Kant approached with fearful and silent eyes.

The knights guarding the gate of the Maple Leaf Palace had complex expressions on their faces.

"Do you want me to get in, or turn around and leave and never come back?"

Kant said, "Make way."

The audience hall became a vegetable market again, and the people who had successfully won the victory the day before yesterday cheered. This time the purpose was to persuade the Grand Duke to make a statement and give up the ownership of the mysterious element in exchange for Goethe's peace and stability. Urgent, because this thing needs to be done as soon as possible.

The sooner you agree, the more bargaining power you have.

Otherwise, waiting for the soldiers to come under the city is another kind of clause.

Count Cassatt of the Moras family is giving a loud speech, winning bursts of applause. He has received the promise of the empire, and the canonization of the Holy Emperor has been in place. As long as he persuades the Grand Duke to agree, he can leave for the empire overnight. Before that , the family and property have been secretly transferred.

"Teddaril is responsible for the good people of the whole country. We don't need any hegemony, and we don't need to bully the weak to show strength. This is not Goethe, this is not the spirit of our country. Maybe this mysterious substance is good for national defense, but more than From this, I want more gold coins, food, peace and security to give back to the people who have silently contributed to this country, rather than letting this war-torn country be tied to a chariot with no future by someone's conspiracy and slid toward …”

The noise in the hall drowned out the chaos outside the door until a loud bang.

The heavy door was smashed open by a heavy force, and everyone turned back suddenly, only to see two rows of soldiers in strange uniforms file in, holding strange-looking alchemy weapons, they regarded the vigilant guards as nothing, holding the weapons in their hands, It forms a semicircle along the corner of the audience hall to surround the people here.

Count Cassatt saw Hong San carrying a huge chair and entered, his eyes flashed with unease and anger, and immediately said angrily: "Hong San from Aurora! According to the agreement between the Grand Duke and you, you are not qualified to step into the sacred again. The Maple Leaf Palace, this is a provocation to Goethe, your people will be in..."

Suddenly, his pupils shrank, and his face flushed with anger turned pale in an instant, because he saw the person behind Hong San, and everyone saw it.

The Grand Duke sitting on the throne closed his eyes and let out a slow breath.

The noisy hall was instantly silent.

There was a loud bang, and it was Hong San who put the chair on the ground and vibrated.

He stepped aside, Kant met countless eyes, and Shi Shiran sat down.

He raised his legs, patted a little dust on his trousers, and his eyes fell on the Earl.

"Say."

He said indifferently: "Go on."
