Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

A carriage without any coat of arms was parked on the street not far from Chaosheng Manor.

In the car sat the Earl of Hawes, his wife Anne.

The Count gently pushed the car window open, revealing a crack, and looked at the bright scenery outside the window. He tried to find a certain shadow, but he didn't see anything. The Count, who was in his prime, instantly felt a surge of shame from the bottom of his heart. He hated his own weakness and incompetence.

Someone is sacrificing.

But he pinned his hopes on others.

Hopefully that person's sacrifice and dedication will save his career and... family.

Hawes turned his eyes to the opposite side.

There is a faint fragrance in the carriage, which is the plump charm that only fully bloomed flowers can bloom. Sitting opposite is his wife, who is holding an elegant and graceful bun, holding a small ivory fan. The fertile and plump body was wrapped in a sea-blue long skirt, and the white and greasy skin exposed at the cuffs and collar was enough to make all men want to move.

This is his wife, his Anne, the mother of his daughters.

Famous for her gentleness, dignity, elegance and erudition, the salon she held is the most famous in the city and even in the entire province. She is his treasure, making him proud and proud, and making him the envy of every man in Far Harbor. And jealous, such a wife deserves the careful care of the man who owns her.

However, Earl Hawes, who has a successful career, a happy life, and a promising future, has a dark side that is not enough for outsiders. No matter how beautiful women are, they have a day of fun. He is used to having fun outside these years, but this is not the most outrageous. , The most outrageous thing is that, looking at his elegant and dignified, but charming and fleshy wife, the darkest desires poured out from the bottom of his heart from time to time.

He often fantasizes that he can have a pair or pairs of big hands that do not belong to him, tearing his wife's beautiful dress, revealing the tender body like an Aries, and then there will be a dark body that will force the delicious Bai Nen into his arms , the body that does not belong to oneself can be strong, or it can be old and withered, and it is best to exude a peculiar smell and be stained with dirt, and then these dirt will contaminate the most noble and pure.

Those twisted, screaming, laughing, struggling, compromising, tainted with purity, abused with persistence, and the treasure in his heart tainted by ugly foreign objects, he actually got the joy of leaping imagination, Just like when he was young, he also thought about the white body under the maid's skirt, but now, he has become an adult and is eager for more stimulation.

Such dark, immoral fantasies that are enough to make his soul tremble are the best ingredients for his fading enthusiasm and pursuit of excitement in recent years. Fortunately, he can still control himself and understand the difference between fantasy and reality. , he is just playing with other people's wives, and he imagines his own wife being treated like this, and then he can arouse even greater excitement and impulse, however...

However, he was on the wrong team, made the wrong choice, and owed a huge amount of loans. The person who controls all of this is like a **** in the clouds, one finger can crush him into powder, and all struggle and resistance are gone. It's useless, if you want to live, if you want to keep your family business, you have to exchange for the forgiveness of that Excellency.

And his wife said the word sacrifice.

This otherworldly arch dam elder naturally began to associate arbitrarily.

He objected sharply, but the evil voice in his heart was whispering, and the strong reaction was only to cover up the throbbing in his heart. He even left it last night. This is something that has not happened in more than 20 years. The content has not dissipated from his mind so far. He dreamed that his wife was...

"—Lord Governor, it should be here."

A voice full of melancholy, but still gentle and sweet, rang in my ears.

The earl jolted, came back to his senses, leaned forward quietly, pulled the thin blanket on his knees again, and smiled reluctantly.

"...Well, it should be."

Annie glanced at her husband strangely, and immediately seemed to think of something, and comforted her softly: "Don't worry too much, the pressure must be very high recently."

Looking at that beautiful smile, shame once again emerged from the heart of the Earl.

"…Um."

So be it.

That's fine.

Annie doesn't have to do anything, because the Lord Governor will do it for us.

He clenched the letter in his pocket.

This morning, Hawes Manor received a handwritten letter from the Governor. Lord Norman said in the letter that all this was caused by his wrong decision, and the economy and people's livelihood of the whole province was affected, and the decent gentlemen lost. To end his life tragically, even in despair, this matter must end here and end as soon as possible. He will strive for a vitality for everyone, at any cost.

He still harbored resentment towards the Governor, and thought the letter was nothing but pretty words.

But soon, the housekeeper who went out to listen to the news brought back news that shocked him.

The Governor wrote a letter to all the nobles of Far Harbor overnight and sent it out this morning. It was also this morning that Lord Norman said goodbye to his family in the Jinyuehua Courtyard. The scene was so loud that many people cried out. In the past, from family members to guard servants, everyone kneeled down to see each other.

It's like saying goodbye to a hero who is about to die.

The former Governor-General took off his luxurious robes, shoes and socks, and only wore a burlap shirt with thorns on his back. Facing the bone-chilling wind in the morning, he knelt down in front of his house.

Then he walked on his knees, knocked in three steps, and advanced towards Chaosheng Manor.

From the most affluent and noble tulip area in Far Harbor, through the lush commercial area, through the urban area, and even through the slums, with such an embarrassed and humble attitude, he knelt down to Chaosheng Manor step by step.

When Earl Hawes heard this, he was speechless in shock.

He even sneaked to see it.

The chief who holds the administrative power of a province, the dignitaries who call for wind and rain in the far port, the spiritual leader of all the nobles in Bibo Province, and Goethe's territorial officials are like a dog, crawling and wriggling.

He saw many nobles at the scene, as well as citizens and even pariahs.

He also heard the voice of His Excellency the Governor. In addition to kneeling and kowtowing in the ancient manner of Aurora, Lord Norman loudly begged His Highness Kant for forgiveness.

Please Kant calm down his anger, please Kant put all the punishment on his sinner, please let this matter stop as soon as possible, no more bloodshed, no more soaring prices, no more provincial turmoil.

for the livelihood of more people.

Seeing that scene from a distance, Earl Hawes only felt tears rolling down his eyes, he was shaken by the noble soul, a decent and majestic adult, in the most humble manner, in front of the pariahs, as humble as dust , throwing away all his dignity, begging Kant for mercy like a dog, just to protect more people, he can't do this, no matter what.

Let the pariah see him like this, and he will commit suicide on the spot.

He saw it with the eagle eye scroll, and almost everyone cried, no matter the nobles, the commoners, or the pariahs, seeing His Highness the Governor so humble and pitiful, the old nobles shrank on their knees in the cold wind, everyone The faces were unbearable, but they were afraid of Kant's lewd power, but they didn't dare to say anything.

But the noble soul is enough to impress everyone.

Even the most humble and abominable pariah would be touched by such nobility.

So... forgive us.

The words that I was prayed to by the Governor-sama.

It will be enough, we express our surrender, we will no longer oppose him, in this case, His Royal Highness Kant will forgive us...

That way, Annie doesn't have to go...everything will be fine.

He was both moved and ashamed.

I was moved by the responsibility and sacrifice of the Governor, and ashamed of my cowardice.

Rely on the sacrifice of others to protect your family.

"Lord Norman...is a saint-like nobleman, and he is our eternal example."

Great kindness and Dade can't repay him, so he can only blow him a little more.

This is also the law of nobility.

Just like when Kant single-handedly ended the war and defeated the elves, the whole Goethe was singing his name.

When Kant showed his hostility to the nobles, it was another matter.

Hawes sighed: "After today, his name will resound throughout Goethe and even the entire continent, and all the nobles will remember his humiliation and sacrifice today. This is his glory rather than shame. In order to save and protect, he suffers so much. and sacrifice, but the gods will remember..."

He seemed to be immersed in this gratitude and praise, but he didn't notice his wife's hesitation.

An uneasy look flashed across Annie's face.

"Om..."

At this moment, there was a sound like the chirping of insects outside the carriage.

Hawes shuddered, and Annie leaned over: "What's the matter?"

Looking out the window, a row of black floating objects took off from Chaosheng Manor and flew towards the entire city. The count glanced at it and showed panic: "It's Kant's alchemy puppet!"

These flying little things have dark eyes. The day before yesterday, he was blocked in the auditorium of justice, and he was forced to hold a sign in front of the eyes and turn in circles, just like Dong brother.

He said uneasy: "What is Kant going to do? He..."

"—We conceded defeat, Your Highness Kant, and we are wagging our tails to beg you."

A familiar voice came from afar.

Hawes was taken aback: "Lord Governor?"

He looked out, but did not find the figure of the Governor. The voice came from the sky. He looked up and found that the aircraft was different from the previous one. It hung a gold alchemy like a morning glory.

The sound came out of it.

Then, another voice sounded, and the tone was full of disdain: "Ha."

The voice was very young and recognizable. Even if he hadn't heard it himself, Hawes still reacted immediately: "Kant!"

After all, he is an aristocrat, he has seen the world, and he can easily think of the current situation.

"Kant relayed his conversation with the Governor-General using alchemy skills!"

Hawes said blankly, "What is he trying to do?"

Annie didn't speak, the lady pursed her lips and listened attentively. The voice of His Royal Highness Kant was a little different from what she imagined... But more importantly, the emotion contained in that voice.

The woman seemed to understand something.

Her heart suddenly seized... It seems that things are not so simple.

"Ah."

In the study, Kant looked at the old man kneeling on the ground with contempt, his expression did not fluctuate.

He never allowed others to kneel before him.

It was the same this time.

Norman's body trembled slightly, and he could smell something bad from Kant's words.

"Your Highness..."

His voice was sombre and weak, as if he had taken all his energy, leaving only a numb body, the former governor whispered: "We lost, Your Highness, you have shattered all our will to resist, we are here You are trembling under your majesty, and you no longer dare to have any rebellious thoughts. You have already won a great victory. The miracle two days ago was more dazzling than the forbidden spell, and the whole world will be shocked by your power..."

Kant crossed Erlang's legs, looked at his fingers, and did not speak.

Norman said in a low voice: "I am here to present my form, asking for your kindness and forgiveness. The pursuit after victory is no longer necessary. The world has seen your strength, please let them also see your kindness. Appropriate forgiveness will not detract from your majesty, and will bring more respect..."

"Ah."

Kant laughed again: "This is a coward, don't fight?"

"Don't dare, it's our fault, Your Highness, we don't have the courage to resist in front of you, it's our arrogance and arrogance that blinded us, we know we're wrong."

The former governor said tremblingly: "Please stop, please forgive us."

"-why?"

Kant said, "Why forgive you? Give me a reason?"

"If I guessed correctly, you guys picked this up. You think you are noble nobles. Even if you betray me and go against me, even if you take money from the empire and spread my rumors, I shouldn't kill you. Their whole family, they should even be forgiven."

"If I don't do this, if I don't give you face, I have to teach you a lesson - isn't that what you started the food war for? Why, can't you afford it?"

He said slowly: "You guys, children know that if you lose, you need to stand firm. What's the matter with you? If I don't follow your rules, I just don't give you face. You deal with me and get beaten by me. If you know it hurts, come over and beg me to stop. If you want to fight, you can fight. If you lose, you can call to stop. When you stop, you feel that you can leave the field safely, and you feel that I am going to spare you—how can there be such a good thing in the world? "

Norman whispered: "No, we are not such brazen people, just as the defeated will offer ransom, we will also repay your kindness and forgiveness with enough return, the amount will definitely satisfy you, our business can be Let you control, from now on, we will also become your most staunch followers, we will fight for you and clear all enemies for you..."

"—Are you worthy?"

Disdainful interruption.

Norman looked up in surprise, pale.

"A group of stern, heartless people united to make a big move, let's make a **** grain price war, your mother is so loud, just a few raindrops fell, and I almost died laughing on the street. superior."

"The nobles of the entire province saw the opportunity to make money and surrounded them like shit-eating dogs. The nobles of a country were behind you, cheering for you, and then being crushed by Lao Tzu with his hands up, the whole province's dignitaries were trapped inside— You disgraceful bastards, are you also worthy of being a dog for me!"

Kant sneered: "Return? Compensation? Holding? You are guarding this crooked melon, I would be troublesome if you give it to me for nothing. I want your property, wealth and women, do I still need you to donate it? Is there anything I can't get in the Far Harbor today?"

"As long as I am willing, all of your things will fall into my hands. What I can get by myself is already mine. You take my things to repay me, and you want me to forgive you. So beautiful? Norman, you're here to plead for mercy today, with this kind of crap, you can go home and die now—wasting my time!"

Speaking of which, Kant is already fierce.

Norman lay in front of Kant and was silent for a while.

"yes…"

Then he said softly: "We were completely defeated. In front of you, we have neither threat nor bargaining power. We are no longer qualified to negotiate with you. What conditions do we want to use in exchange for your high hand, it seems hopeless... Then, Kant Your Highness..."

He raised his head and said, "Pity, how about mercy?"

Kant frowned: "What?"

"I ask for your mercy, for us, for this city, for this province."

Norman said in a gloomy tone, "Yesterday, as far as I know, there were seventeen people who committed suicide. They include nobles who have been inherited for hundreds of years, young rising stars, business geniuses, and talented artists. , they made stupid decisions, owed huge debts, couldn't get new loans, couldn't turn their business around, and couldn't get their food out."

"Then they committed suicide, leaving behind huge debts, and desperate orphans and widows whose brothers, servants and subordinates were biting and fighting over the family business, leaving the debt to the poor widow, who was left unattended and Conservation, a brothel or a confined courtyard is the only way out, she'll be reduced to a plaything, and even her daughters - the number will increase."

"It's not just them, a large number of nobles and merchants will go bankrupt, their shops will be closed, those employed will be unemployed, they will not be able to earn money, buy food, and support their families, and this catastrophe will spread from the upper classes to The lower level, sweeping everyone, not only the far port, but the entire province, countless people will suffer, they have no choice but to pray..."

"So I pray to you, Your Highness, for them, have mercy on them, please end this catastrophe as soon as possible, I am willing to take all responsibility for this incident and bear all cruel punishments, Your Highness, enough people have died, the injured There are enough people, I..."

When he said this, his voice was already choked up.

The voice of the Governor echoed through loudspeakers all over the Far Harbor.

His low tone was very contagious, and the emotions of despair and compassion were spreading. The powerful and powerful were already in tears, and the commoners were also moved to tears, because the Governor-General mentioned them, what a noble person, who would actually still be there for them livelihood considerations.

Immersed in the far port of touching and praying, I heard a loud voice.

"-Pooh!"

The sound awakened them from their emotions.

Kant looked at Norman with a solemn expression.

"I said..." he said, "I want to ask you something."

Norman looked up in surprise. He didn't expect this to unfold—wasn't he such a kind person? Didn't he always pity the pariahs?

Kant asked directly: "This matter, this grain war, if it goes smoothly according to your ideas, the grain price rises layer by layer, and the people's uprising is aroused. I lose, and then what are you going to do?"

Norman immediately said: "You can swear to the gods, the counterattack is a last resort, we still maintain the greatest respect for you, we just want you to understand our thoughts a little bit, even if we win, we will respectfully meet with you. You negotiate a good result..."

"No—I didn't ask you that."

Kant stared at each other, his eyes sharp like a sword.

"What I'm asking you is that the price of grain has risen layer by layer and cannot be suppressed. It has risen from five copper coins all the way to two silver coins, or even three, four, five, so that the commoners can't even buy two or two grains of food for a hard day. , let them be unable to eat for a few days or even a dozen days, malnourished, and even go mad, eat everything they can grab, leather, dirt, garbage, and finally starve to death in a twisted way! What I'm asking you is, what are you going to do with this?"

He took a step forward, and the anger and killing intent in his eyes finally broke out completely.

Norman's heart was shocked, and he was overwhelmed by the killing intent, and couldn't help but fall backwards.

"Answer me."

Kant said coldly: "When I planned to fight back against you, Han Zezheng first made sure that no one in Far Harbor would starve to death. He prepared more than ten pages of plans and arrangements for this. Now I want to know, in your In the plan, is there a plan to prevent the poor in far Hong Kong from starving to death due to high food prices?"

"The first thing I did after winning the fight was to give five days of free rations to the citizens of the city to make up for their fear, hunger and excessive spending during these few days - I would like to know now, in your plan, whether there is a fight against A plan to appease the situation after winning?"

He took another step forward.

The killing intent has been frozen like frost.

Norman stepped back subconsciously, but couldn't say a word.

"No."

"Fuck you."

"Really not."

"I've known it for a long time, I've known it for a long time, and I understand all of your virtues."

"But, noble nobles."

"I still want to say it."

"Fuck you mom."

"It doesn't matter if these people starve to death? Does it matter if the pariahs starve to death? Yes, it doesn't matter, a hundred or a thousand starved to death, and the surrounding villages and towns supplemented them. They are like weeds, and they are easy to cut. It will be born continuously, who deserves to be in your eyes?"

Kant reached out, grabbed Norman by the collar, and lifted him up.

"Remember what I told Han Zezheng to tell you when you went to Han Zezheng?"

"I said—you're all bugs."

"Do you think I'm pretending? Do you think I'm insulting you?"

"Wrong, you are worms, selfish worms, greedy mosquitoes, cruel ticks, you motherfucker, you dare to speculate on food prices, do you know how many people will starve to death because of your plan? You I know, but you don't care, fuck, I **** wanted to kill your whole family at that time, you still dare to talk about mercy in front of me, are you worthy? Are you worthy?"

"You bugs!"

He threw the Governor hard to the ground, and the other party let out a scream.

Kant looked cold and stepped on his back.

Like crushing a bug.

"Beg for mercy, have mercy, say someone committed suicide, what aristocrat, what great artist, what young and promising businessman, even if I kill all of you and your whole family, can their bodies fill this Chaosheng Manor? ? No!"

"But if you win, the poor starved to death during this period, I am afraid that all the cemeteries in this city will not be enough!"

"But even with soaring food prices and famine in the Far Harbor, half of the more than 200,000 people starved to death, is that a lot?"

"Not much! Because of this continent, this land, this country, or just this city, from ancient times to now, for thousands of years, people who have died from famine, malnutrition, overwork, lynching, epidemics, because of you The corpses of those who died of inaction, cold-blooded cruelty, and even active murder can fill every inch of the city! Their screams add up to a thousand louder than the wind in this sea. A hundred times!"

"Have you ever listened to their voices? Have you ever cared about their lives?"

"Is this the first time you have done this food price war? How many times have you and your ancestors used the same method? Since when did you turn a blind eye to the life and death of the untouchables? When will you understand that your Blood is as hot as theirs? When will you realize that your life is as fragile and precious as theirs?"

Kant squatted down and grabbed the other person's hair.

"What the **** do I want to do? Why don't you forgive? Why don't you stop? You ask me why I am against the nobles? Why do I treat you in a more cruel way? That is my answer."

"I don't like killing. My purpose has never been to destroy you, nor to kill you all."

He slowly said: "What I want to eliminate is the indifference, cruelty and cruelty that you think you are righteous, the privilege and ability that you can trample on living beings at will, as long as there is anyone who dares to play with such power again, and take the suffering of all beings as the achievement tool of purpose, then I will appear before him."

"I will use the blood of him and his family to intimidate other despicable Xiaoxiao, beheaded all over the family, linked to the nine clans, what method can intimidate you, and what method can eliminate these despicable and degenerate low-level beings to the greatest extent, I will use what method , My benevolent law only applies to ordinary and ordinary creatures, and I will not judge whether your family members are innocent, because they are innocent..."

"There will be no innocent civilians who can't help themselves and have to let you decide how to die."

"So, you all listen to me."

The camera controlled by Iron Son turned around and came to Kant.

"I'm Kant."

"I'm watching you."
