Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

ninth day.

The food released by the Erwuzai forces led by Han Zezheng has been greatly reduced.

The grain brought in from the outside was also bought by the wealthy, wealthy merchants and wealthy citizens who were wielding their wallets. Even if the price was high, they were still frantic. The grain trading market was booming, transactions were happening all the time, and grain prices continued to rise. , changing every moment.

Those who are still buying today believe that food prices will continue to rise. Even though many of them are aware of the huge difference, they firmly believe that there will be people who will bid more to take over the food they have hoarded - and then Wait a second, wait a second, wait two more days to shoot.

In stark contrast to the booming grain trading market…

Most of the people cannot afford food anymore.

The persecutors who walked in the streets of Far Harbor in the name of the Inquisition have gradually gathered their patrol lines, and most of the members have returned to the battleship, because the eyes looking at them from the windows and doors are no longer grateful or curious. It's more complex stuff, hostility, dissatisfaction, questioning... blah blah blah.

Hunger turns people back into beasts.

Hunger takes away morals, integrity, kindness, bottom lines, principles, and even the soul.

There are treacherous ghosts who take advantage of the situation and wander in the poorest areas of Far Harbor.

tenth day.

The situation is turbulent, like boiling water.

Han Zezheng's house welcomed unexpected and reasonable guests.

Governor Norman, the nominal chief executive of Bibo Province, came here in person on behalf of the will of the entire elite, and proposed to Kant the intention of understanding and peace.

In triumph but humility.

If it wasn't for Kant's overdoing, if Kant had the necessary respect for the nobles, then things would not have gotten to this point at all. How could they be enemies of the guardians for no reason?

"This farce must come to an end, Mr. Han, please convey this intention to His Royal Highness Kant for me. From beginning to end, we do not want to take the initiative to be the enemy of the Aurora Dragon. We regard him as a guardian, respect him, and thank him. , what we asked for, is that His Royal Highness Kant also has relative respect for us."

"Goethe's centuries-old tradition, glorious and perfect aristocratic system, we are the guardians of the world and the backbone of the country, we are willing to live in peace with His Royal Highness Kant and share all rights, wealth and glory with our guardian and savior ...all we want is respect."

In the Han family's study, Governor Norman's voice was sincere and calm.

He bowed and said: "You are of Aurora, but you are also a Goethe noble. You should know our strength, responsibility and glory. For the peace and stability of Far Harbor and even Bibo Province, please make appropriate advice to His Royal Highness Kant. Remonstrance, my friend, for all of us."

Han Ze was looking at the Governor-General in front of him.

The other party's face was calm and gentle, with a sincere expression and strength in his eyes. The Governor bowed slightly, his posture was elegant and calm, an old-fashioned gentleman, tough and dignified. An irresistible old friend.

But Han Zezheng knew one thing.

A few months ago, the powerful Governor-General would not even look at himself.

But now, he appeared in front of him honestly and sincerely, with a very low attitude.

He knew where this change came from.

The Aurora people pondered for a moment, then said slowly: "Lord Governor."

Norman looked at this insignificant businessman of Aurora, a despicable flatterer, who betrayed the noble spirit of glory and joined Kant's command, really **** it.

But at this moment, he still has to show a humble and decent smile.

- The next moment, the smile solidified on his face.

"My lord, His Royal Highness Kant, already knew of your arrival in advance."

When Norman heard the words, a moment of fear and fear appeared on his face.

After all, he is a peerless powerhouse who kills elves like chickens.

Han Zezheng looked at him and said lightly, "My lord ordered me to give you a word."

The Governor subconsciously said, "What?"

The Aurora people took a deep breath and passed on the master's ultimatum.

He says.

"You are all bugs."

Norman's pupils shrank, and he froze in place, unable to even process the information immediately.

insect.

I?

A nobleman? A governor of a province?

He came back to his senses, showing a look of exasperation. He felt complete contempt and hostility from these words, which meant that Kant did not intend to compromise. This was very bad news.

Because Kant can really kill them if they don't care.

But why!

But why don't you want to compromise! ?

I've come all by myself! We all win! We won't kill them in a hurry, we will even find a way to help you save face! We are all going to win! But we are also willing to talk about a draw!

Why not agree?

"Unreasonable!"

Norman snapped: "Why! Is this His Highness Kant's ultimatum? Is this His Highness Kant's attitude? Do you just let it go? Do you know how many times the price of food has risen? Do you know how many nobles are watching Kant now? His Highness's joke? Does he really want to be disgraced?"

Han Zezheng said lightly: "This is not something that the Governor needs to know."

"What does he want to do? What else can he do? Borrowing food from the elves, the empire, and the council?"

"I know that the secret envoys of these three countries have come here! I know they have brought enough chips! But does His Royal Highness Kant really want to use the power of these foreigners to fight us?"

The Governor's eyes widened, and he was about to choose someone to devour: "Does he know that this is just a warning! Today is food, tomorrow is fabric, and the day after tomorrow is herbs. His Royal Highness Kant can indeed ask for help from abroad, but once and twice. , can it be like this again and again? If things go on like this, what is the majesty of the Dragon of Aurora?"

"Does he know our power! We control everything in this city, this province, and this country! Everything!"

"We control the national conditions and people's livelihood, we feed the pariahs, we maintain the stability of this country, we are the backbone of Goethe, we are Goethe!"

He roared: "Why are you fighting against us!"

Han Zezheng shook his head: "Come on - see off."

He raised his hand to invite him, the intention of expelling the guests was very obvious.

"...good, good, good."

The Governor took a deep breath and suppressed his anger—or rather, something other than anger.

His anger actually stemmed from fear.

From the fear of the unknown.

The situation has not developed as he expected, and even though the defeat is now extremely obvious, Kant has no intention of compromising or giving in.

What does he want to do? What chips does he have?

Do you want to fight with us to the end no matter what, even if it is a crushing defeat?

Or... did he really rely on something else?

No matter what kind of possibility, the Governor was frightened and terrified.

He left Han Zezheng's house and got into the carriage, only to feel a huge unease enveloped his heart.

"...Let's go," said the Governor. "Go back to City Hall, and let everyone come to the meeting..."

Just then, there was a commotion in the street.

In the eastern courtyard of the Tulip District, Sir Luster, a young blond from the Broken Isles, sat on the high attic platform in the corner of the garden, holding a fragrant tea.

"Representative Luster."

According to the banquet set up by the Aurora style, the guests sat in separate cases. The first one on the left, a man with red hair and a rosacea put the teacup heavily on the table. His narrow eyes looked at each other, flickering. With the light of a viper: "Excuse me, you came to the Far Harbor with a huge sum of money and the trust of the Broken Isles Joint Conference, and you have been drinking tea all day?"

Lust held the teacup and gently raised his left hand to signal the other party to be quiet.

Then he gently blew the green tea water, the sparkling waves rippling like lake water, as if listening to the subtle echoes and savoring the serene tea fragrance.

Then he took a sip, revealing the aftertaste.

Counting the dog Ona, there are seven people here. Six of them are the messengers who arrived today, and they are the supervisors who came here on behalf of the Broken Isles to observe the progress of the mission.

Lust's arrogant appearance caused everyone's dissatisfaction.

Rosé patted the table: "Representative Luster! Pay attention to your attitude! We have the right to question and supervise your actions and the results of your mission! You are obliged to answer all our questions! I now ask you to elaborate on your The achievements and progress in these ten days, you…”

Just then, a loud voice came from a distance.

The supervisor, who was interrupted by the noise, frowned and said, "What sound?"

Luster shook his head: "...It's really noisy, it's a pity for these good teas."

Wine-nosed angrily: "What did you say?"

Luster glanced at him contemptuously and put the teacup on the table: "Since you have questioned, then I will let everyone know that while you are hiding in the Broken Isles, you are sad and resentful, and you are afraid of the hostility from the Forbidden Magic Mage. What the **** have I done?"

The other party suddenly stood up: "Fear? This is simply an insult..."

"—That noisy voice was the triumphant sound of the spies I dispatched to infiltrate the slums of the Far Harbor the day before yesterday to launch a plan! The pariahs are extremely hungry, a little favor can make them grateful, a little incitement can make them blindly obey , that's what I do!"

Lust stood up and looked at Rousseau.

The hustle and bustle outside became clearer.

"I made them believe! The soaring food prices are all Kant's responsibility. If they can't afford food, Kant is hoarding food! Hungry people are irrational, especially the untouchables! They will ignore their own incompetence and despicableness and put all their The blame falls on others, so their anger can be channeled!"

"That's what I do!"

Luster looked around at everyone present.

"Someone will incite them! They will act! Go to Chaosheng Manor! Beg for food from Kant! I dispatched the most capable personnel! I also found the survivors who were sacked by Kant! Their hatred is enough to burn everything! The so-called begging Will turn into violence! My men will lead the charge against Kant's army! Then the killing will happen! Let Kant be a tyrant who kills civilians!"

"That's what I do!"

"The survivors of the annihilated family will become our scapegoats! Kant will find out that it is those who are enemies of him in Far Harbor! Kant's counterattack will fall on these people, and then evolve It will be a chaotic battle between Kant and the entire Goethe aristocracy! The hatred will last forever, and Goethe will fall into a violent infighting. This is what I did!"

High-spirited and sharp as a sword, Lust stood proudly.

His momentum overwhelmed all opponents and doubters.

"Everyone ask me what I am doing these days? The answer is simple! What I have done these days is to hold today's great event as scheduled! The riots of the untouchables stem from hunger, and hunger stems from lack of food. Why is there a lack of food? Yes? Because I stirred up the greed of the Goethe nobles with huge funds!"

"I buy food at any cost, I push up the price of food at any cost, I induce greed in people's hearts, and I let them spontaneously participate in the carnival of pushing up the price of food! I have done the same thing in every city in Bibo Province, Let rabid greed and profit-seeking roam the vast lands of Bibo Province!"

"Every city will become a vortex that devours food, and the whole Goethe is like this. Far Harbor will not be supported by food transportation. Everything I do is to ensure this! I activated the contacts of the Chamber of Commerce, and I did everything. Even if the elves, the council and the empire want to borrow food, the disturbances and small troubles along the way are enough to ensure that the Far Harbor will not get any food within twenty days!”

"That's what I do!"

Lust gave a fierce smile, opened his arms like a fanatical actor, gave his best performance at the most successful celebration, and showed all his achievements to all the doubting bad guys.

"I want to win this war for the Broken Isles."

"I want to take back the glory we lost."

"Even if the opponent is a destroyer with a forbidden spell, we have to win!"

"I will let Goethe ignite the flames of a civil war, and I will make all the speculators in this food war lose their money! I will make the wealth evaporate out of thin air! I will make the economy of the Bibo province hit hard! I will make Kant and the The nobles of Bibo Province will never die! I will lock all the anger of this savage Aurora on this continent! I will make him unable to covet the Broken Isles for ten years!"

"This is my purpose! My mission! My achievement! My determination!"

He reached out and pointed into the distance.

"Listen to this boiling voice! Look at the victory of this first battle with your eyes! Report today's knowledge and my determination to the island owners of the joint meeting!"

Sir Lust's face was proud, determined and high.

"Everyone, witness this hearty victory and experience this unprecedented..."

- There was a brief pause in the tones of the excited speech.

The blond young man was intoxicated with his achievements, and he looked at the faces of all the people present, full of shock, excitement, stunned and respectful, and thus obtained unprecedented satisfaction.

So he couldn't see the scene behind him.

But others can see it.

Now, including Ona, everyone's faces showed surprise and confusion.

Lust turned back subconsciously.

The sky in the direction of Chaosheng Manor pointed to by his left hand.

The wind and clouds are surging.

The calm and sunny port city casts deep shadows, as if huge clouds cover the sky of the city. Everyone outside feels the change of the sky and the sun. On, a deep and dark arc suddenly opened!

It's like a crack in the sky.

It's like opening a door.

"Kant!"

In different areas, at the same time, different people subconsciously shouted that name.

The Dragon of Aurora, the Sword of Deterrence, the peerless master in the field of space, forbidden spells and alchemy, he is famous for these three accomplishments, the star of the sky annihilates the elves battle group, the wings of the sky slaughter the elves dragon cavalry, made of steel The battleship of the gods jumped out of the phase gate and stopped at the far port at this moment.

Now he is once again shifting phases over the Far Harbor.

The manipulated and incited people on the street were dazed and uneasy, and the conspirators who manipulated everything in the cool and comfortable room also got up in panic. The latter thought they were chess players, but they had a great fear at this moment, and suddenly realized to a fact.

Just as they can manipulate the joys and sorrows and life and death of the untouchables at will.

Kant is equally capable of adjudicating them.

Prosperity and wealth, monstrous power, huge financial resources, and united will.

It was just a flash of the forbidden spell, and it turned into ashes in the end.

Now the door of space has opened.

In the last scene, the huge battleship of the gods jumped out, destroying foreign enemies like a rotten tree.

So... how about this time?

"It's a forbidden curse!"

There were mournful and terrified cries from the Justice Hall at City Hall.

A nobleman shouted: "He's going to kill us all! He's going to destroy Far Harbor!"

Amid the terrifying chaos, the Governor struck the thunder ram.

"Don't panic! How dare he cast a forbidden spell on a city with hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians! If he does, he will become the public enemy of the mainland! Don't panic! This is just bluffing! This is intimidation! He is intimidating us! Such a low-level and inferior method! Prove that he has nothing to do!"

Even though he said so, Governor Norman's voice trembled involuntarily.

The unknown is the scariest.

At this moment, a nobleman squeezed by the window shouted: "Look! What is that!"

"Something came out!"

"what…"

The Oriental Courtyard, the Fair Hall, the streets and alleys, the people gathered, the citizens and businessmen who still have time to spare, all those who were involved in this terrifying economic war, they all looked in the direction of Chaosheng Manor, or, in other words, look. Towards a huge portal that burst out of the sky.

Then, they saw a scene that they will never forget for the rest of their lives.

The turbulent golden wave roared down from the sky, like a waterfall with nine stars hanging down, like a tide that swept over everything. It was huge, loud and shocking, unstoppable, and fell violently.

It is like an endless, continuous, like a gift from God, sprinkled on the ground.

That is…

It is composed of countless small but plump particles, each "water drop" is the hope of life. It gathers on the ground to form a mountain and gradually rises. The platform of nine layers rises from the earth.

That is…

The people who are relatively close, the casters who cast the eagle eye spell, the dignitaries who use the magic glass mirror to look into the distance, the messengers and spies of the Three Kingdoms and even various forces, more and more people are showing their consternation, disbelief, and inability. Forgotten smirk look.

The scene in front of me is incomprehensible, unprecedented, and unforgettable.

That is…

"-wheat!"

PS1: Update…

PS2: Also, it’s so strange. I feel that the technology has improved in the AAA masterpieces in the past two years, but the level of **** eating of the screenwriters has skyrocketed. First of all, it’s the stupid who made me not pre-order Ubisoft games. [Beep—] Far Cry 5. Then there's Borderlands 3 where I'm going to kill the screenwriter's mother a thousand times, and then The Last Survivor 2 this time, it's really hard to understand, it's okay if you really **** me.
