Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

"Everyone, have you made a decision yet?"

Several days have passed since the nuclear explosion, and the aurora lingering in the sky has dissipated, but the aftermath of the major event in the Western Seas is still far from gone. Decisions, considerations and choices of the powerful.

The Tower of All-Seeing, the decision-making center of the Austrian Council, the elemental brilliance of the Starry Court shone on the silent night, the councilors have been arguing for several days, various pre-mobilization actions have been completed, material mobilization, military preparation, program planning, All preparations are underway, and the final order is just short of it.

The Great Speaker looked at the people present and said slowly: "Ilan-Tair, the bead of the last era, a prosperous and charming legend, now, the descendant of this civilization has made contact with us."

He paused for a moment, and his tone increased: "This is the reward of fate."

Speaking of which, it is indeed the fate of Xuanqi.

Because he couldn't trust Kant, he dispatched the sea traveler submarine test machine to the target sea area for reconnaissance, but unexpectedly encountered the giant beast in the sea, the submarine sank, and all the crew died.

However, the sea traveler who sank into the icy seabed was picked up by the descendants of Ilan-Tair, and relying on the communication equipment in the submarine, after countless years, he got in touch with the civilization on the earth again.

After several days of deciphering, communication and interrogation, the council has completed the initial communication with the legendary race in the deep sea, and has a little understanding of the other party's situation.

The last sanctuary was occupied and devoured by the deep-sea giant beast. Day after day, year after year, the last fire of civilization was guarded in the desperate situation. Material control can't stop the approaching extinction, bit by bit, slowly and frighteningly.

Ilan-Tyr, who once created an extremely prosperous civilization, has become the richest beggar.

They keep losing until they have nothing, but they also have the most precious treasure in the world - the cohesive essence of a powerful civilization.

Technology, ideas, knowledge... They guard this endless treasure, but nothing can be done.

until today.

until today.

"We want to rescue them!" The speaker said solemnly, "This is our mission, this is our responsibility, we are the Austrian law council, and we should extend a rescue hand to the descendants of civilizations that are sinking and dying, and help them reproduce again. Grow up, create greatness...that's what we should do!"

The members responded with a bang: "It is true!"

After countless years of support and struggle, the descendants of Ilan-Tair have become extremely weak. They are like children walking in the robbers' den with gold. Any monarch and leader on the continent will not hesitate to take them. Eat and wipe—the council will play its part and take its responsibilities.

Protect them, help them, rescue them.

These benevolent and righteous politicians communicate with each other.

"The Melo family can provide them with a large island, and the attached marine area is also theirs!"

"Fuck you, who wants your broken island, the Corbuyer family can help them rebuild their ocean city, but it requires a little technical exchange and cooperation..."

"My research institute must have a lot in common with them in terms of super magic..."

"I can't wait to refer to their plans and suggestions for specific examples of the use of pumice stones in aerial vehicles. After all, the council also needs its own high-altitude and high-speed vehicles!"

"I heard that essentia can be used to tame beasts, maybe we..."

The well-dressed councillors declared the cake to each other, and they had tied their napkins with restraint, just waiting for the people working below to salvage and cook the most delicious ingredients.

The Great Speaker looked at them, and there was a momentary haze in his expression.

He should have gotten used to it, always.

But this well-respected, knowledgeable and powerful spellcaster also missed the golden age of councils, advocating knowledge rather than power, daring to explore rather than old-fashioned, spurning the shortsightedness and stupidity of noble lords, and claiming to be the guardian of civilization And the Trailblazers, as it should have been, as it should have always been.

But time flies, the wisest and bravest explorers have wives, children, families, students, and friends, so the strength and power are realized, and more beneficiaries are gathered around, which brings More power and power, the cycle goes on and on...

Until everyone can't help themselves.

Apart from wearing robes and possessing power, they are no different from rulers in castles and mansions.

The Grand Chancellor felt an instinctive unease.

Yes, the Council is still strong, and the rules, systems, and foundations laid down in the Golden Age are still functioning continuously, attracting the most magically qualified talents in the world to study and further study. Knowledge is fed back to the council, a huge country operates in an orderly manner, and research results are constantly transformed into practical benefits, opening up territories, earning wealth, consolidating national defense, expanding the army, and a virtuous circle... But in this prosperity, more and more emergencies have emerged. More and more dissonant notes.

Kant's presence is at best an unpleasant cacophony of the piece.

But what the Great Speaker heard was the sound of decay and decay within the council.

"...Gentlemen," he said lightly, "Iran-Tair won't come out on his own."

The deputies who paralyzed the shock of the nuclear explosion with the supreme intellectual wealth of a lost civilization shut their mouths.

The Great Speaker stretched out his hand and waved, and the situation of the deep sea was outlined on the element plate.

"At least 1,600 meters of water ... or even deeper areas, it is pitch black, with only churning sea snow and tiny plankton, but there is no guarantee that there are more deadly dangers hidden."

The leader of the Austrian Council said: "Such depths, strong water pressure, hidden dangers in endless darkness... can only be reached and operated by relying on submarines. We have mobilized two submarines to the target waters, it will take time, and we It also takes preparation.”

"And most importantly..."

He was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "We have to hide from Kant."

This name seems to have magic power, making the core members who control the operation of the entire council take a breath. They are one of the most powerful people in the world, but they are shocked by the name.

Kant, the Dragon of Aurora, the Forbidden Magician.

Since this Aurora appeared in this world, he has continued to make big news.

And more and more, bigger and bigger.

At first, he just slaughtered a small town, and later he killed five legions, and he was forced to negotiate with the world hegemony. Immediately within ten minutes, he contributed to the dragon slaughter quota that the world has not made up for 20 years. The fleets of the three major powers in the world have created the most appalling large-scale executions against the nobles in the past century, and launched a large-scale air rescue and delivery operation that occupied the sky.

Planted a sun in the mortal world.

There was an aurora in the sky.

He arrogantly became an enemy of the council, and refused the olive branch handed over, making the two sides in a hostile situation. Now he has surpassed the elves and became the first imaginary enemy of the council.

In short, this Aurora has been regarded as hostile by the council.

The reason why he didn't do it was because the radiance of the Vulcan was too terrifying that day.

Sadly, angry and helpless, they found that their defense system to intercept and counter the Forbidden Curse was far from being completed, while Kant's Forbidden Curse was more and more tricky.

And now, the best chance lies before the council.

When the wisdom of this world cannot stop the ferocity of the forbidden spell, why not ask the lost civilization?

"To hide from Kant."

The Grand Chancellor's voice was calm and calm, and he repeated it.

"right!"

No disagreements, no arguments, no opposition for opposition's sake, and no mutual downfall.

The deputies, who are usually keen to quarrel and trip each other up, are surprisingly unanimous. Even those who have interests and potential business with Kant and advocate moderate dialogue have no objection.

Even moderate businessmen cannot tolerate the ever-sharper sword of deterrence.

To hide from Kant.

Not only to hide from Kant, but also from everyone.

The notions of openness, inclusiveness, sharing, and cooperation advocated by the council have all been left behind.

These days, there is only one thought left in the minds of lawmakers.

-Kant's Forbidden Curse is already so powerful, if you can get the civilization heritage of Ilan-Tyr, it will be great! ? This must not be allowed to happen!

"It is true that we deceived, and we deceived Ilan-Tyre to say that we killed the sea monster, but this is a white lie, and the council has the ability to solve the behemoth, but Kant is the first." The speaker said this in a calm tone, without blushing at all.

Everyone nodded in unison, as if it were a matter of course and indeed.

"The reason we deceived them is because they have been isolated from the world for a long time and do not know the horror of Kant, the Aurora did not kill the sea monster to save them, he stole the power of the sun and spread endless deterrence and fear In the mortal world, he tried to extort blackmail and insult the nations, not only us, but the Empire and even Goethe suffered such insults, and even the elves were forced to bow their noble heads."

The grand speaker said solemnly: "Kant is a brutal, rude and cold-blooded dictator, we can't sit back and watch Yilan-Tel fall into the clutches of such people, although we deceived them, our actions and motives are sincere Yes, we will free them from their painful captivity."

"Then invite them to join us, become one of our members, help them rebuild the country, invite them to integrate into this era, and jointly face the evil threat from the Aurora people, so that the power of the previous era can be used to maintain and protect this era. The power of order and peace..."

The Great Speaker stood up and said solemnly: "The whole operation should be quick, secretive and decisive, and it is best not to disturb anyone, even if the news leaks, we must immediately pick up the descendants of Yilan-Tair and let them Build initial trust and goodwill with the council and make them aware of Kant's evil nature."

"When necessary..." he said slowly, "you can make sacrifices."

The members of the Congress made a commotion: "What is it, Speaker?"

"It is necessary to contain Kant's energy and divert his attention." The Grand Speaker said after a moment of silence, "The Azure Fleet... ordered the Azure Fleet, which has been replenished, to go to the Broken Isles to confront the Kant fleet stationed there. In addition, Issue solemn representations to the far port through diplomatic channels."

"Kant is required to explain to the mainland countries what happened that night in the spirit of sharing, openness and cooperation, and explain the details of the heterogeneity of the sky, and provide samples for inspection by the security departments of the countries to rule out danger and Threats... This is a continental pact, and he must abide by it."

"From the resident personnel of the Broken Isles in the Council's sphere of influence, find a few who are incapable of standing, form the Broken Isles exile organization, and let them declare that the sea beasts were released by Kant, and advocate all the powers of the Broken Isles. , including ownership of the island, and business and interests everywhere."

"And get them to incite and lobby Valentine's refugees - don't look at me like that, I know it's hard, but it's to distract Kant, do it."

"Send an invitation to the empire, and tomorrow I will have a conversation with His Majesty the Emperor."

"Contact our elf partners too... I heard bad rumors that the relationship between Kant and the elf queen has become more and more solid. I believe that some elves must be extremely dissatisfied and extremely angry."

The chief speaker issued orders one by one, and the heads of various departments and members nodded. The decisions in the meeting will be sorted into actual action terms. If the members have no objection, they will mobilize and dispatch their respective forces to cooperate and implement. .

"In short, do everything possible to make a sound, divert Kant's attention, and when Kant is exhausted and exhausted, we take the opportunity to find the sunken place of Ilan-Tair, help them unlock the seal of the shelter, and return to the ordinary This is a unique opportunity, and we must seize it.”

Sen Ran, the ruler of the council, said: "I can't let Kant become stronger - Kant and the Elf Queen are unclear, swallowing up the sea power interests of the Broken Isles, and surpassing us in some areas of alchemy and magic. We’ve had conflicts, we’ve been hostile to us, and next, there’s almost certainly a conflict with our interests.”

He looked around at each MP: "You all know what that means."

The MPs nodded one after another.

"This is the best chance. Kant doesn't know that the Ilan-Tyre civilization is still alive... He may be rejoicing at the shells that have fallen on the island, and we will pick the most beautiful pearls."

At this moment, a congressman said: "But if Kant is curious about the origin of the sea monsters..."

"Then he can't reach the depth of nearly two thousand meters, and he can't accurately find the entrance of Yilan-Tair's shelter in such a vast and dark seabed. They have drawn you a map, and you should know the difficulty. "The speaker said lightly, "Kant doesn't have a submarine."

- That's for sure.

The congressman's face did indeed show such doubts.

He was able to produce so many high-speed large aircrafts that even the council did not have... Submarines...

"Submarines and aircraft are two different things. We have imitated the appearance of Kant's aircraft. After theoretical demonstration, it can indeed fly. Soon we can imitate our own aircraft, and even develop and improve our own..."

"And submarines, materials, communications, experience, cooperation, there are too many problems to be solved."

The grand speaker waved his hand and said: "Also, if Kant had an underwater device, how could he be caught off guard by the giant sea monster? Obviously, he didn't know what that thing was, and he didn't try to dive into the sea. The most important thing is ...the only people who can contact Ilan Thiel are us."

"Okay, there is no need to raise this issue. If we are afraid of being overtaken by Kant, we will do it quickly."

The Starry Sky Court reached an agreement, and the Austrian Law Council, a huge and sophisticated state machine, began to operate, deceiving Ilan-Tair, stealing Kant's credit, concealing the world, and enjoying the glory of a lost civilization.

They lie, they steal, they hide, it's the glory of exploration and aggressiveness.

The Grand Chancellor's gaze went beyond the brilliant lights of the entire city to the direction of the Far Harbor.

- Aurora people, the days are still long.

Earth.

After pondering with the parrot for more than ten hours, Kant returned home.

If you want to find traces of Yilan-Tair's civilization in the vast seabed, it is impossible to rely on these two knives who lack equipment and experience.

Gotta figure out a way to get the best of both worlds.

It's only been over an hour here, and it's not even eleven o'clock in the evening.

He hesitated for a moment, then went directly back to Diaoyutai and dialed Qin Mengjin's number.

With just one sound, Sister Qin's voice came over, with some inexplicable unease in her surprise: "Kang... Comrade Kant? It's so late..."

Kant smiled and said, "Sleep? Are you interested in chatting?"

There was silence for a moment, Qin sister seemed to take a deep breath, and then her tone became firm: "I...I know, I, I'll go over, please wait..."

"No need to come, let's chat on the phone."

"Ah... ah? This... I..."

"Simply put," Kant continued, "I want to use the country's submersible. By the way, does our country have any related technologies for deep-sea exploration, positioning and salvage?"

"what?"

Qin Mengjin let out a louder sound of consternation, even subconsciously embarrassed: "Is this?"

Kant was also stunned: "What?"

"…nothing."

The well-trained Miss Qin quickly adjusted her mind: "I will report your request, do you want to rush it? I want to know that it is getting late, do you want to wake up the relevant leaders? What is the specific matter, can you please tell me? ?"

"I think the sooner the better, as for what..."

Kant smiled and said: "According to my relatively secret and undisclosed channel, there are strange things buried in the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, just like the legendary Daxizhou..."
