Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

The night has completely fallen, the stars are in the sky, the sea breeze is floating, and the waves are roaring.

The Knight Astolfo, parked outside the Far Harbor, is lit up with bright lights, from bow to stern, the newly added lighting equipment makes it look like a shining fortress at sea.

Especially the protruding fire control radar part, the huge and long cylindrical body with a round and large top is wrapped with a string of bright lighting groups, making it look like a luminous giant gun, which is daunting.

In this brilliance, Kant received the first batch of infected people.

Due to the warning of Horus, the elven fleet suffered the least damage. Only one battleship sank, but it was subsequently attacked by a group of distorted dragons. Although the Royal Navy's global combat capability was doomed to cover, there were still casualties—death For the time being, there are also quite a few sailors who are more or less contaminated with paradox elements. They are isolated in accordance with emergency regulations, and they are given priority for treatment according to the severity of the situation.

The authority of the commanding officer and the strict discipline of the naval tradition ensured that it all proceeded in an orderly manner.

The two ships were juxtaposed. Horus released the telescopic ladder. On the opposite deck, the elf sailors who needed treatment were already lined up. Blob, this is a new ability he has after connecting with the Paradox Engine.

It is also the confidence that he has the confidence to control this terrifying substance.

- This feature can even be used more.

The special substance of the paradox element was deliberately sent to the previous era by the future Kant, and through the past layout of Asha, he used the power of time and space to form flashbacks, and even did not know where to get this mechanical world of clockwork and gears. Only to avoid the eyes and ears of the voice of doom and complete this closed loop must be extremely useful and meaningful, and even be regarded by the future self as the key to defeating fate.

So from now on, we must continue to explore and utilize paradox elements.

He already has a preliminary plan.

Brigadier General Calvisalon and several of his subordinates boarded the ship in person. They were well-mannered, and their expressions were respectful but solemn. All the commanding officers of this elf fleet had this expression. They looked at Kant with awe and hatred. It comes from strength, and hatred generally comes from some kind of brain supplement.

After all, with the help of the monarchs and heads of organizations secretly, the lace news of the Phoenix King and the Dragon of Aurora has become more and more intense, and it has always been a hot search in various countries and regions.

"...Your Highness."

The expressions of the elves with great bitterness and hatred are reminiscent of the greenness of the great forest.

The commander of the brigadier general said, "We are ready."

Kant glanced at the far port in the distance. The sky was completely dark, but the port city not far away was brightly lit. There were many beating flames moving around, apparently the search team holding torches.

Far Harbor's interest groups should be dying.

Clearly, Kant's hostile attitude and terrifying threats terrified them completely.

A friendly Forbidden Magician can block the disaster for Goethe, swept the navy of the Three Kingdoms with an alchemy warship, and can bring peace and shelter to the far port. What if it was a cruel one?

So they just do it.

Moreover, Kant's request for the arrest of the instigators and rioters in the city is entirely reasonable.

Because the results after the fact have proved that the behavior of these mob is a complete slander, slandering a great and powerful man who fought for Goethe, with the laws of any country, there is no problem in hanging them all. In some more authoritarian countries , even killing the whole family has nothing to say, this is the privilege of the strong.

The reason why they are reluctant to do it is, first of all, for fear of ruining their reputation, which is not a big or small trouble, and secondly, they also understand in their hearts that this time, whether it is the master or the executor, they will discuss with the empire, The guilds and even the elves are inextricably linked. Those chambers of commerce, ships and workshops that serve these three countries have all contributed more or less. If they kill them, they will undoubtedly offend those three behemoths.

Kant is not afraid, but they have to be.

But Kant also clearly expressed his attitude - aren't you afraid of me?

afraid.

So just have to bite the bullet and do it.

Tonight in the far port, no one is destined to sleep.

Kant turned back, looked at the elf in front of him, and said casually: "Don't be too cautious, we are actually a family, I didn't take you as prisoners..."

Good guy, this sentence almost choked the elves.

All of them blushed, their eyes both frightened and desperate.

This mental state has been described in detail in many literary and artistic works on earth, and just like the unfolding of those works, they can only pretend that nothing happened.

Kant said: "I took a look, your infection is not serious, hurry up and screen you again, and if you are cured, you will have to take care of the council. As for you, ship by ship, drive aside when you're done, and get off. The anchor is sleeping, the prisoner of war camp is not ready yet, you will be on the ship first."

When he said this, he shook his head and said: "Oh, it's actually quite troublesome, you are all elves, you have national hatred with Goethe, and you have grudges with me, it is not convenient for me to use you, it is meaningless to lock you up, neither do I What are you planning to extort from the Dusk Moon Council, after all... Ha, you all know it. So let's just let you go? Well, let's go after you're cured..."

"—Your Highness!"

A few elves suddenly came back to their senses from the reverie that made them furious. The light of the great forest shone on them. These guys gritted their teeth, but they didn't dare to say the truth. They were still at the level of commanders. Relatively high, he said: "The dignity of the elves does not allow us to accept the favor of the enemy and leave directly! I beg you to allow us to repay accordingly!"

Kant's face was embarrassed and he was indecisive.

"His Royal Highness!" the elves pleaded bitterly, "I beg your mercy! We have been defeated, and we have nothing but dignity, please don't take away what is left!"

These elves surrounded Kant and begged so hard that they were about to die. When Kant saw that he was almost there, he pretended to think for a while: "Forget it, there is a small matter at the moment... You go and help and fight, and when it's done, we will be clear. Okay, okay?"

Calvisalon said categorically: "Whether the two are clear will have to be judged by us! Please show me!"

Ah, I even kind of like these sprites.

Kant sat on a chair beside him: "Let your people come first, let's talk while treating."

Busy almost until midnight.

Clearing the paradox elements for the soldiers is actually very simple. Kant has a strong affinity for this mysterious element, and he can easily deprive him of it with the power of fire thieves. He took a look, then shook his hand, or patted his shoulder or something, and he was done.

Basically, it can be regarded as a large handshake meeting.

The advantage of this is that every infected crew member of the three-nation fleet remembers Kant.

Board this steel warship that only exists in epic mythology, get up close and personal with this peerless powerhouse who destroyed the army with forbidden spells and deterred the world, and even had a short conversation with him.

The world has become accustomed to looking up to the strong and the big, and Kant is not a hateful politician, but a powerful man with the power of destruction. These sailors witnessed this mythical battleship from the gate of space at the most desperate moment. Suddenly, the shocking scene lingered in my heart for a long time, and it must also become a topic of discussion decades later, and now the legendary characters treat them in person.

Although it is not enough for them to pay their respects directly, their instinctive gratitude and respect have already left their mark.

Not to mention the Paradox Engine.

These creatures that were infected with paradox elements but still retained their minds, after seeing Kant, especially after the distorted substances in their bodies flowed out to the sea like water, an indescribable sense of awe arose spontaneously, especially After that power disappeared, it even made them feel lost.

Kant's layout has been set from the moment he arrived at the far port.

There is only a difference between zero and countless times.

Now that there is a shortage of manpower, how can they be let go after only one short-term job.

"Everyone."

In the conference room of the Afu, Kant sat on the edge of the conference round table, with more than 20 elf mages standing in front of him, in a large space and a small group, which helped the listeners to establish a positive feeling of trust.

He said: "The specific situation, Brigadier General Calvisalon has told you all?"

"Yes, my lord."

The mage headed said: "In the name of the Tribunal under the lord's seat to punish the members of the society, they participated in the search for the rioters in the Far Harbor. Also selected were one hundred and twenty elite marines. The first group of action team members are for His Royal Highness to drive and dispatch."

"In order not to arouse the national sentiments of the Goethes, we will hide the physical characteristics of the elves with a hood throughout the process. If we encounter an organization or espionage personnel under the Moon Moon, we are authorized to avoid suspicion."

The mage gave a military salute: "Sir, we are elite spellcasters selected by the commander and the chief mage, with rich experience, good at close combat and quick reaction warfare, all have degrees in spiritual law, and have received judicial training. Importantly, we all have royal backgrounds."

"Hopefully this makes you less suspicious."

Kant nodded: "Spellcaster, your name."

"Minigritt, Your Highness," said the mage, "Thank you for dispelling that cursed evil. We all swear to repay your kindness with our hard work and dedication."

The bitterness in their eyes is exactly the same as that of Brigadier General Kavisalon.

This is a good thing.

Kant pointed to the table next to him: "I believe in your determination and will, everyone, no one knows elves better than me, try this, the little gift I prepared for you."

The elves with keen attention entered this conference room and began to observe the strange props and layouts around them. Since boarding the ship, the mages with a wide range of knowledge have been secretly observing all the details of the battleship until they are allowed to enter. This conference room, what they saw and heard along the way, has made them uneasy.

Wise mages have judged a fact.

This massive warship, in its various designs and layouts, all indicated one thing—it was designed to carry at least several hundred combatants aboard.

But no one.

-why?

All kinds of doubts and unease suppressed their hearts. They followed Kant's gaze. In fact, the elves had already seen that dozens of wristbands were placed on the round table of strange material.

"Mage Minegrit, please put it on."

Kant picked up one of them and handed it to the other.

The caster just hesitated for a moment, and then put it on his hand without hesitation. The card slot is fastened, the workmanship is good, the design is a bit interesting, the mental power cannot penetrate, but it can sense extraordinary energy fluctuations.

"A small gift to enable you to better perform the tasks I have given you. It is a small benefit and support. Everyone, this is the prerequisite for everything."

"If you want to do things for me, Kant, then you have to wear this bracelet, don't lend, take off, lose or give to others, until you are free, remember to return them to me then, okay?"

Surveillance, positioning, control... all kinds of thoughts popped up in the minds of spellcasters.

It's not that they don't understand.

After the information about this alchemy battleship is spread out, the whole world must admit that His Royal Highness Kant's alchemy is unique in the world. If you want to say that this thing is useless, it is better to say that this **** and the queen are innocent - elves The surface was calm, but he sneered in his heart.

Gifts, benefits, support.

What a joke.

Kant smiled and gestured to Minigritt: "Mage, perform one."

The other party was a little dissatisfied, and he heard the words blankly: "Ah?"

"Let's do a little magic trick, rub ice, play with fire, and perform."

The spellcaster explores the ultimate mysteries of the world, cultivates hard, is noble and powerful, how can it be compared with the circus conjuring tricks - the elf mage originally wanted to say this, but the forbidden spell is too scary.

Forget it, just show the results to the pioneers.

He mobilized the magic power, and heard Kant say: "Let your magic power flow through the bracers, and then cast the spell."

Minigritt did what he said.

The next moment, a bright pillar of fire burst out and rose from the hand. This is the most basic palm of fire, and the apprentice practiced the little skills of element affinity and control!

The caster's complexion changed dramatically, as if he had seen the most terrifying thing.

Kant said lightly: "Don't be afraid, feel it, it's different."

The mage's movements stagnated for a while, then stopped, trying to mobilize magic power.

Feeling slowly.

Then, his face changed again.

From unbelievable to unbelievable, the former is panic, the latter... faintly revealing surprise.

The other mages were not stupid, they noticed something from the performance of their companions.

"As you think," Kant said, "inside the bracers, there is an element of paradox sealed - the kind of thing that infects you, the name is this, I said."

He looked at the faces, and the noble elves showed different expressions.

Surprise, fear, apprehension, withdrawal, and indecision.

"I know what you're thinking."

Kant said: "You have all been infected with paradox elements, that terrifying thing will turn living beings into ugly puppets, you have also witnessed it, saying that it is a gift from the devil, because there is opportunity in danger, presumably you It has been discovered that this element can greatly increase your extraordinary power."

"To be honest, after you have tasted it, you can still make up your mind and let me clean it up. It's really amazing. I don't know if it's because of your boss's strict order or your own reason, but being able to make this kind of decision is in itself. Admirable...but now, as you can see."

He said lightly: "They were extracted, transformed and sealed by me, and now they are completely harmless."

Kant picked up a bracer and shook it in front of the elves: "The relatively simple and primitive version was urgently processed for tonight's event. The workmanship and design are not good. It's a joke. According to my estimation, it can probably be improved. You have at least 30% of your comprehensive spellcasting ability, and there will be more in the future."

"Don't worry about anything, I don't need to use these things against you. First of all, you are not worthy, and secondly, if I want to control the elves, I don't have to use such an inefficient way."

"So, try it. As I said, this is a gift. If you refuse it now, it may be a little more difficult to use it in the future. At least in the short term, I have no plans to export it."

The mages looked at the bracers with gloomy expressions on their faces.

For spellcasters, every little boost is a dream come true.

Saying that you can't use foreign objects - what a joke, I can't be a magic god, and I don't want to engrave my name on the arcane road. This thing can increase my combat effectiveness by 30%, which means more Survival opportunities, promotion opportunities and reward opportunities, whoever doesn't need it is stupid [beep-].

It's just the horror and torture of paradox elements that still make them terrified.

"I will treat you with a sincere attitude, everyone." Kant said, "Using this is a pre-determination of the agreement. If you don't want to use it, you can withdraw. I will not be embarrassed, but if you want to use it, you must agree to my conditions and not take it. Next, it is not allowed to disassemble for research, not to violently destroy it, and not to hand it over to others.”

"You can send this information back to the country. I don't mind. You can refuse to accept this condition, but if you want to withdraw from this operation, I respect your position and ideas."

"The only thing I can't tolerate is betrayal and broken trust."

"If you agree to my conditions, but don't do it, it means that you have betrayed my trust, and all those who betrayed me will swallow the most desperate evil. This point, the people of Huisha Town, Dan Fengliu The elven expedition force that was bombed under the forest city, as well as the Far Harbor people over there, all know or will know this."

"You've all made up your mind."

After Kant finished speaking, he shook the wrist guard in his hand and pointed to those.

After a moment of silence, an elf slowly stepped forward, took the bracer from Kant's hand, put it on his own, and then saluted Kant.

one by one.

No contracts and deeds are required.

They all know the consequences of breaking their trust, and they all know Kant's execution.

"Everyone, familiarize yourself with your new props, I hope the user experience is good." Kant said, "You can leave, by the way, during the operation, you can discuss with the elites of the Royal Marines, that is, as a powerful warrior Do they need this gift?"

These elf mages left, and their backs were a little lost.

The last elf walked out of the room and was directed by Horus over the hallway loudspeaker.

Lily, who had been sitting next to him and acted as a bodyguard, moved a stool to Kant and looked at Kant for a while: "You have a big appetite, I said why you are so generous, you actually want free treatment, no conditions are required, I didn't expect to be here. Wait - actually want to dig the corners of these three kingdoms."

Kant spread his hands and said: "I am also very desperate, bare commander, lack of manpower, no younger brother, I have to find a way by myself."

"Spell practice is very difficult. There are talent limitations. Once you reach a certain strength, it is very difficult to improve. Those elf mages, I think their life is over. You suddenly come up with one that can improve their comprehensive spellcasting ability by 30%. It's really tempting, not to mention that there may be better things in the future... Tsk tsk, it's really exciting."

Lily squinted and said, "However, aren't you afraid that countries will take the opportunity to plant spies?"

"Don't be afraid, it's better to say it's a good thing."

Kant raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Basically, if they want to install a trick, they have to put ten innocent people in it to cover. Am I making a lot of money? And if a guy is a spy, he will definitely work hard. To perform, work hard to gain my trust, and continue to build merits and prove his worth to me, such a good employee must be used well."

—Fuck, that makes sense.

Lily was choked for a moment, and seeing Kant's smug look, she couldn't help but raise her bar.

"But there are good people who want to behave well - how do you tell who is a spy?"

Kant smiled meaningfully.

For this batch of wrist guards, he went to the White Mist World overnight to sweep more than a dozen mobile phone stores.

"...Forget it, I'm too lazy to know, so you don't have to deduct my shares again."

Long Niang shook her head and said, "But this paradox element is really useful. That's what the armor you built for us that day... Is there anything more powerful?"

"Don't say it, there really is." Kant touched his chin, "I plan to build you a pair of heavy-duty combat armor in the form of a giant dragon. It is semi-covered, protects the vital parts, and can also provide auxiliary thrust for the wings. The important thing is to load up the Paradox Particle Cannon, which turns you into a vanguard gunship..."

"—what is that? That sounds weird!"

"Grass, he's so handsome."

"Allow me to question your aesthetics..."

"Okay, okay, secretary, hurry up and call for the people in the council to come over, grass, the same flickering has to be said several times... In the end, there is still a shortage of people."

"Hey! Why do I have a new position?"

"0.1 percent..."

"Yes, boss!"

After Longniang went out, Kant relaxed and slowly let out a breath.

"Father."

Horus' voice sounded.

"The link went well, images and sound were successfully received, but the temporary data exchange link established with this warship is still of limited utility... We need a better solution."

Kant nodded.

Because in the near future, his eyes and ears will start from Valentine in the east, the Far Harbor in the west, and even the underground world two thousand meters deep, all under his control.

This requires a huge information system that even Earth's technology cannot do on its own.

Paradox Elements…

"We will do it," he said.
