Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Today's Far Harbor is a long day.

The morning was filled with fear and silence.

The morning was numb and dazed.

Noon exudes frenzy and blindness.

The afternoon was filled with ecstasy and sadness.

The night is filled with nostalgia and loss.

The city shrouded in night still seems to be swaying with an intoxicating aroma.

That taste is something the pariahs have never tasted in their entire lives.

Maybe it's just in cheap dim taverns, or in stinking street corners, to hear the fanciful and intoxicated bragging of the most worldly but poor fellows.

It is said that there is a magical and wonderful thing in this world called spice, which is produced in the evening moon, and is transported and sold by the fleet of elves and the chamber of commerce. Only nobles and rich merchants are qualified to own and taste. As for the poor, even After a few months of not eating or drinking, I have saved money, and I want to buy a little bit, but no merchant is willing to sell it to you, because it is the exclusive use of the big men.

As for the poor, they could only eat kippers and brown bread, drink ale mixed with water, and cook with care and prudence even with lemon juice.

Because spices are precious and precious.

It is said that the spice can make a dish very, very delicious, and when you eat a bite, it is like wandering in the kingdom of God. It is said that the spice can cure diseases, prolong life, make people smart, and make people strong, so The nobles are always on top.

And today, they finally understand what spice is.

Those soft noodles and tender meat, when you bite into it, the juice splashes out, and it explodes in your mouth. The trembling feeling falls from the head to the tailbone, making them crazy and delicious throughout the body. It is difficult to describe the smell of bombarding the soul. , this taste is enough to make everyone unforgettable.

There is such a smell in this world.

Noble gentlemen actually lived such a life.

People can live like this.

Biting into the mouth and swallowing the noodles, soup and meat in the stomach is like stirring knives in the body, leaving **** marks on the sad and numb soul.

After trembling, deliciousness, and intoxication, there is empty fear.

Something like this... can I still eat it later?

After a brief period of indulgence and joy, the cruelest question came to everyone's mind.

So some people are crying, some people are screaming, some people are ruthless, and things called ambition and desire are growing, and they want to eat such delicious food.

— No, once in three days, once in five days, or even once a month.

The unforgettable taste remains between the lips and teeth, and even every breath can feel the intoxicating aftertaste, the sticky and thick taste left on the tongue, smack your mouth, you can squeeze out a new and unforgettable aftertaste. Soup, people are even reluctant to drink water, even if they are thirsty.

They scratched their hearts, they were entangled, and they were impatient. They vowed to enjoy this delicious food again, but they did not know how to get it. This supreme delicacy was distributed by His Royal Highness Kant. When is it, a day, a week, a month, a year?

They dare not ask, no one can answer, they dare not rob, how dare they have such a bold idea? When this kind of claws scratching the heart and all kinds of tastes came to my heart, some people said...

can.

"All attention-"

The sound amplified by the alchemy tool rang from the center of each block.

"Your Highness has an order—"

At this time, Kant's order or will is a heavenly rule and an oracle. Everyone listens with bated breath without exception, and the city is unprecedentedly silent.

"The noodle soup must be drunk before tomorrow night, otherwise there will be a danger of rotting—"

"Leave in the shade after cooling—"

"The unopened cake can be stored for a long time. After opening, it must be sealed and stored to prevent moisture. It should be eaten within four days..."

And then, what everyone wanted to hear... oracles.

"Your Highness has an order—"

"The first recruitment will be held in Far Harbor City soon—"

"The reward can buy today's food, and the laborer can eat—"

"At that time, bring your identification documents and go to the designated location to register—"

In an instant, the whole city came to life.

Cheers, shouts, and cries are more exaggerated than after learning that the war is over. People run into the streets, chatting anxiously, inquiring, and soon when will the job be recruited, and a few days' worth of money can buy this. They rejoiced and praised the food they ate once, as if the previous rumors and criticisms against Kant did not exist at all, and Kant's favor finally felt real.

Before, at the end of the war, even if they heard that the Forbidden Magic Mage Kant from Aurora ended the war, but they did not witness it with their own eyes, and did not know who that person was.

Now they know.

Know who His Royal Highness Kant is.

Strong and upright, rich and generous, ruthless and benevolent.

He was incomparably powerful, able to defeat the elves and save Far Harbor.

He was honest and trustworthy, and promised to give silver coins and meals to the spectators in the whole city, and he kept his promise, and everyone got that plain favor.

He was rich and generous, and the meal he promised was not hard brown bread and stinky kippers, but a king-like meal that only nobles were entitled to, and he even offered it to the whole city. The financial power represented is something that people can never imagine.

He is ruthless and merciful, treating betrayers and enemies, even the most noble nobles, stripping them of titles and honors, and letting them die like wild dogs, but to those who obey him, he is merciful and keeps his promises Yes, the warm and delicious aftertaste still in the stomach is the best description.

In the low shack, in the dim light, the thin-faced woman in a linen dress turned around and looked at the children's bright, expectant eyes, hesitated for a moment, and shook her head helplessly.

She carefully picked up a crock pot and lifted the lid. After cooling, the still wonderful smell floated out. His Royal Highness Kant promised that everyone had it, so their family of five, including the youngest five-year-old child, all She received silver coins, a brand and the same amount of food. The child's appetite is small, which means that she can save some money. She had planned on this precious food, but...

His Royal Highness Kant said so.

Then eat it in two days.

The housewife poured out about one-fifth of the soup from the jar, poured it into the cooking pot, sealed the jar, and added a lot of water. With a smile, their mother glared at them, took out half of the brown bread from the bread basket, broke off the hard bread little by little, and threw it into the cooking pot to cook it into porridge. It should be delicious too.

She put a lid on the pot, so delicious soup, can not reveal a little smell, so as not to waste, the fire illuminated her face that was haggard due to hard work, and also illuminated the faces of the children who were looking forward to it, one by one, small , Suddenly women feel a little sad, they are so young, they have tasted the taste that they could never taste in this life, their life is still so long, what should they do in the future...

But she also thought of the box wrapped with precious canvas strips that she treasured under the third brick board under the bed, containing five silver coins and five cakes wrapped in silver paper.

There are also five plaques with the family's names on them.

I also thought of the order that His Highness Kant just issued.

He said that the people who went to see the execution had money and food, and he did it. Then he said that he would soon be recruiting workers in the city, so... it would definitely count.

Such a big man.

Shouldn't lie to us.

The poor woman is caught in a mindset of worrying about gain and loss, sometimes looking forward, sometimes uneasy, their children are standing opposite, three pairs of big eyes staring at the cooking pot without blinking, suddenly the door slams, the family turns back, the pillar of the family pushes Entering the door, the simple, honest and depressed man worked all day, and the burden of life made him lose his smile early, but now, there is a kind of excitement in his voice.

"Master Kant is recruiting, I must go!" He said decisively, "We will have a good meal in the next half a month... oh no, a week! We will eat this good meal in a week!"

The children cheered and cheered.

In their eyes, the father is the second most important person to the king, and whatever he says must be what he is.

The woman sat by the fire smiling and beckoned to him.

Tide Sound Manor.

In fact, Kant took it for granted.

It was not necessary to tell the people that the soup of instant noodles should be drunk as soon as possible. After all, he could not fully imagine the impact of the carefully selected, developed and prepared foods under modern technology on the civilians of other worlds.

Citizens were called to watch the beheading in the morning, which meant that they didn’t have to work all day. It's already afternoon, and I'm already hungry, and if I eat that kind of delicious food, who can resist it? It must be known that appetite is the most irresistible desire of human beings.

And it's still such a delicious treat.

Basically, most people ate all the instant noodles and the soup on the spot. Only a small number of people still cared about the old and young at home. There should not be many families of noodle soup.

But let the horses below do this kind of notification.

Anyway, it's not him who contributed, just need to order one sentence.

As for instant noodles, in theory, it cannot be left overnight, but that is for the earth. In the other world, civilians do not care about the nitrite and bacterial toxins. These people usually eat because of more or less Or a little spoiled and with a lot of harmful ingredients, the instant noodles overnight is just a drizzle, and the temperature of the recent weather is low, so the order is to eat before tomorrow night.

Considering the discount for executing the order, they will probably eat it all the day after tomorrow. If you pay attention to the temperature, in theory, there will be no big problem... It should be.

If I had diarrhea because of this, I would be more convinced of Kant-sama's advice.

What needs attention now is not this kind of thing anymore.

Tonight, Chaosheng Manor held the first banquet after changing owners.

The banquet invited the generals and officers from the navies of the Three Kingdoms, the dignitaries who abandoned the dark and the bright in the far port, the swaying business circles in the city, and the representatives of the citizen class.

There are even the leading mages and officers of the Survey Corps stationed on the outskirts of Far Harbor.

It was a great victory today, the execution of the will, the execution of the rule, and the demonstration to the opponents of the power of Kant—not just force, but money and demagoguery.

A silver coin, a meal of junk food that is deeply spurned by every mother on earth.

It is enough to draw wages from the bottom of the pot, leveraging all the hard labor and labor of the powerful.

After showing strength and shock, of course, it is to celebrate and show the villains in the dark corners - with the customs of the mainland, a grand banquet is the best choice.

Hosting a banquet is a more troublesome job, and if something goes wrong, it will be despised and ridiculed.

After Kant told him about the concept of a cold dinner party, the imperial people said that this is not the way the North Pirates eat, why is it a great look, but still smiled and said that there is no problem at all, this kind of free banquet saves Going to the tedious ceremony will definitely be liked by everyone, Your Highness is wise.

Whether a banquet can be successfully held or not depends on money, to be precise, ingredients. Usually, the ingredients for a grand banquet have to be prepared a long time in advance, but for Kant, it is not a problem at all.

The world of White Mist is directly air-dropped. The wealth of materials in modern society is beyond the imagination of ordinary people on earth. When the guests of Chaosheng Manor arrived, after seeing such an unheard of cold dinner party, they had not had time to give birth to slander or slander. The subtle feeling attracted all the attention.

The long dining table is covered with long silk that is as white as snow and has no flaws.

In the bright and transparent crystal plate, all kinds of food are stacked like mountains.

Soft and elastic fondant, chocolate with a rich aroma, each nut roasted with spices, crispy fried potato, fluffy soft, milky bread, crystal clear jelly , hard candy that tastes amazing, and many more unnamed but absolutely delicious, never-before-seen foods! Sweet, salty, spicy, fragrant, piled up like a mountain of food, stacked randomly in a long table, these decent people feel like two words!

sugar!

spices!

Yes! Sugar and spice! The favorite thing of the nobles, the thing that cannot be separated from a meal, the symbol of wealth and status, is now sprinkled on the entire manor like splashing water, this is simply a banquet piled up with sugar and spices! Complete, pure and violent display! Even scarier than the battleship outside the harbor!

It must be known that the people attending the banquet tonight are not those uninformed commoners. After those muddy legs eat those noodles, they think that this is the spice eaten by the nobles, but these decent people will not! Some of them ate some secretly, and it definitely didn't taste like any known spice! And today the banquet of His Royal Highness Kant fully demonstrated this - he has more and better!

So the banquet went on warmly and successfully.

Each guest quickly swept the table with awe and reverence.

Eat them one by one and never stop.

It doesn't matter how old the wine is! Everyone clinks elegantly with Yoremie milk tea and Sprite.

- This is what the **** people drink! It's what the best people drink! Sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar!

When these respectable people felt the same shock that the citizens of Far Harbor feel today, the naval soldiers of the three countries were also unable to escape the disaster.

Earthlings have played their despicable scheming here.

For example, when the citizens are queuing to receive meals, the temporary employees of the Tribunal eat the dry food prepared by the ship itself. When the warship is docked, it is supplemented with fresh vegetables and meat, which is definitely much better than the pig food eaten during sailing. But everything is afraid of comparison. When these navy soldiers were nibbling on barbecued meat and bread, they saw these untouchables in the far port crying and eating the fragrant instant noodles. The taste is really fascinating.

Even the officers who have seen the world are itchy, thinking that these untouchable pariahs have these things to eat. Although we used to be against His Highness, aren't we doing things for His Highness now? Those good things, mud legs can eat, why can't we eat?

However, this kind of small protest and attempt was immediately scorned and suppressed by the boss - your mother, His Highness does not give it, you dare to ask for it? I dare not.

When it's night, the soldiers who haven't eaten dinner still have to walk around the streets to remind the people to stop eating, don't leave the instant noodles overnight, how to keep the cakes? , what kind of taste is it, is it really so delicious?

Then, the gift of His Royal Highness Kant arrived.

Craving instant noodles, ham sausage, luncheon meat?

—What kind of **** are those!

Smeared with a lot of meat floss and oil, the meat floss bread is extremely soft, filled with a lot of cream and syrup, and it is simply delicious bread, self-heating hot pot, vermicelli, and instant noodles.

In addition, a large number of candies, desserts, crispy seaweed, meat floss rolls, wafers, salty biscuits, all kinds of fragrant and spicy jerky, are simply marinated chicken legs in a spice pool, very crispy Grease residue, and fiery red hot sauce! Eat as much as you want!

This sumptuous dinner, the elf soldiers with eyes above the top began to doubt the elf.

Everything is about comparison.

They used to envy the instant noodles, luncheon meat and ham that the muddumps ate.

But the delicious food in front of them now makes them more moved and satisfied - this is countless times better than what the pariahs eat! As expected, His Royal Highness Kant will not treat us badly!

The sugar-coated cannonballs of the despicable earthlings also hit the survey corps. This army formed by the Goethe court was left in the far port by Stella. Today, I also heard a little bit of wind from Danfeng Lucerne. When the dragons were headless, the warmth of His Royal Highness Kant was brought.

One can imagine how those guys would feel after eating these foods.

Tonight's Far Harbor is a food night.

On the third floor of Chaosheng Manor, in the conference hall, after a brief speech and congratulations, Kant left. He wanted to hold a small meeting to report summaries and new instructions.

Attending the meeting were the commanders of the Three Kingdoms Fleet, Han Zezheng, the chairman of the execution committee who had performed well in the past two days, and two representatives of Erwuzai.

As a reward to Han Zezheng, his eldest son, Han Guangcheng, was allowed to attend the meeting, and was responsible for some rough work of serving tea and pouring water—this was countless times more effective than monetary rewards, even for Han Zezheng, who was quite shrewd. The merchants all lost their temper for a while.

Kant sat in the main seat: "Let's take stock of today's results."

At the same time, when every household in the Far Harbor is reminiscing about the beauty of today, when the soldiers under Kant are eating haise, when the hillbillies at the banquet at Chaosheng Manor are still sweeping around, the city is also A secret meeting took place.

Kant broke the rules, stripped the nobles of their titles, and executed the nobles in the most cruel and inhumane way, which was enough to cause shocks among the nobles of the entire continent.

This time, the nobles who stood on the opposite side of Kant have heard about today's events, the unexpected shock, the huge financial resources, and the intention to draw wages from the bottom of the pot.

They were counting on solidarity from across the continent, but Kant had now slashed.

The middle and lower classes of the entire city were bought by that meal and that silver coin, which meant the shaking of the foundation, the loss of authority... This is more terrifying than direct killing.

"Isn't he trying to buy people's hearts and establish prestige? Isn't he trying to feed the untouchables!"

In the secret underground chamber, there was a resolute shout.

"Then let's see if he can provide food for an entire city by himself!"
