Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Kant's mind turned.

The layers of the mist are revealed, and the truth is revealed.

Nicias came to the Broken Isles to visit the captives every day. Considering his reputation as a lover of Kant's shocking continent, most outsiders would think that he and Nicias already had an affair.

It happened that the Azure Fleet's offensive was blocked, and Nicias was passively disobeyed. The council was extremely dissatisfied. The plan of the Star Court was to use the looting of the Azure Fleet to attract Kant's attention, so that the submarine could secretly complete its excavation and rescue operations. , and Miss Admiral's refusal to obey her orders obviously affected the big plans of the members.

But no matter how alienated and excluded, the core decision-making level of the council should also know the value of talents and Nishias' loyalty... Maybe some members don't care, but the chief speaker must know it.

- To say why Kant is so certain, of course, after hearing that he had a bad relationship with the Council, Derela made a special trip to tell him a lot about the Arcane Council for 40 minutes, the intelligence collection of the top think tank of the Evening Moon Dynasty With strategic analysis, it is enough to get a clear picture of the powerful figures in the council.

With the temperament and wisdom of the great speaker, he would definitely not punish or even imprison the rare naval admiral Nisias. It is also easy to shake the morale of the entire navy.

So it was strange that Anthony came here.

The one who can send him to the Azure Fleet, or even come to find him Kant, must be the High Starry Court, and what Anthony revealed is obviously to exchange Nisias for the relic of Ilan-Tair.

This is not right.

After all, exchanging the living for the dead is a loss-making business. Besides, how could the congressmen hand over to Kant a naval admiral who knew all about the military system, tactics, and equipment of their own navy?

And the timing wasn't right either.

After all, the azure fleet's offensive is just a sham, the real intention of the council is the ruins of Ilan-Tair, even if they want to sell Nicias, they have to wait for the submarine to dig the grave, right? Otherwise, the admiral here just sold several hundred pounds of Yilan-Tair heritage, and when he turned back to find several hundred tons in the ruins, it would be a big loss.

Moreover, if the transaction is successful, the Azure Fleet will have no reason to continue the harassment offensive, and it will be impossible to divert Kant's attention, which is contrary to the established strategy.

Abnormalities are demons, and abnormal phenomena must have deeper logic.

The fact that the council is trying to make a bad deal at an inopportune time can only mean that they think it's worth it - and that it's urgent, urgent, and eager.

There is only one answer.

Unsealing or excavating the ruins of Ilan-Tyre requires a large number of civilization relics.

However, the actions of the Azure Fleet have achieved very little. The council is concerned about the deterrence of Kant's forbidden curse, and it does not dare to make a big splash to **** it. Silk pushed out, trying to use her to exchange or defraud enough extraterrestrial substances from Kant.

Kant looked at Anthony with a "heavy sigh" and sneered in his heart.

Motherfucker, let's see how I play to kill you.

He hurriedly took two steps forward, waved his hands to let the soldiers who were still suppressing and vigilant Anthony retreat, and personally helped the man, apologizing: "Uncle, I have just offended you, please forgive me, after all, you know, I and the council The relationship is not good, and the current situation is very delicate."

This "uncle" called out to Anthony's body.

He continued: "It's okay, it's okay, I can understand your position."

Kant smiled at him, and then shouted, "Come on, watch the seat, serve tea, and shock my uncle!"

Anthony said politely, "No, no..."

His mind is now full of ecstasy and excitement, because he smelled the signs of success from Kant's words - without his further hints, Kant had the idea of ​​exchanging extraterrestrial substances for Nicias!

Gods shelter!

Since she was a child, she has been carefully cultivated, taught and guided, spending a lot of money and effort, and it finally came in handy!

When he thought of the rewards and rewards promised by the council, which were ten times better than the previous conditions, he almost fainted with joy. As for Kant's previous rudeness and slowness, he had long since thrown it out of the sky - praise Gods, praise the council, praise the people of Aurora!

The next thing to do is to find a way to convince Kant to agree to the deal...

As soon as he thought of this, he said: "You're welcome, really, there is no need for tea and snacks, Your Highness Kant, the most important thing now is to help Nicias, we should discuss it immediately..."

"—Your Excellency Anthony."

He heard the slightly cold words of the Aurora people.

The man was startled and almost stood up: "His Royal Highness?"

He saw the Aurora man turn his head to look at him, his eyes were quiet and his tone was calm, but at this moment, he only felt as if a giant dragon was watching him, neither happy nor angry, but the power was self-existing.

The excitement and joy in my head dissipated like a tide.

It was then that he remembered what he should have always remembered, and what the council and the special envoy had instructed a thousand times - what you have to face is the most dangerous and powerful person in the world.

"Your Excellency, I am glad that Nicias has a father like you, who can run for her plight and suffering, and I am also willing to work with you to rescue this lovely girl from the thorn cage of the council and let her Get joy and happiness, but there is one thing you need to understand."

His tone was slow, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table.

Anthony listened attentively, his heart was empty, full of doubts and worries, and he didn't know what he had done wrong.

"...Rescue Nicias is essentially a game. The game between me and the Austrian Law Council requires sufficient patience, firm will and accurate judgment. No one knows better than me what to do with the powers of the world. The trick, that's how I deal with empires and elves."

Kant looked at Anthony and nodded lightly.

"So, I think, since you think that I have the ability to rescue Nicias and ask me for help, then you should understand that the relevant plans are under my full control, and it is up to me to decide what should be done now and what should not be done. What, and you, if I didn't ask you for advice, you should respect my judgments and decisions, and listen, unless you consider yourself a wise man who can offer advice in an international conflict of great powers, I'm not used to Hear the self-righteous questioning of the layman.”

Aurora's voice was elegant and peaceful: "Excuse me, am I clear enough?"

The more amiable he is, the more uneasy Anthony is. There are countless victories about this man, the elf butcher, the destroyer of the Broken Isles, the noble slayer... The reputation is piled up with bones.

Anthony said bitterly: "I... I just think we should discuss how to rescue as soon as possible..."

"Look, this is what I just mentioned to you - I am in full control, that is, I will analyze the information, consider the gains and losses, and make a judgment as to what means should be taken to rescue Nicias. Seizure is still a strategic deterrence, or a diplomatic exchange."

"And with all due respect, it is my confidante, the Phoenix King, who is qualified to discuss with me and decide what plans should be taken, my sworn brother, His Majesty the Dragon Emperor, and the Aurora Emperor Shi Dong, not you."

"I respect you because you are Nythias' father, and I am happy to take your opinion on certain issues, but it is up to me to decide, and you, uncle, I hope you will respect my judgment and listen to So instead of questioning, you should speak when you should speak, and obey your order when you should..."

He raised his hand gently, his tone unhurried.

"If you don't agree with my views and decisions, and think that you have been insulted, then I can only ask you to leave with regret, I will still use my own way to help Nicias, the next time we meet, you will still be uncle, I Or Kant, we..."

Oh no no no no no no!

Hearing this, although Anthony tried his best to hide it, he was shocked.

Damn, his plan was to convince Kant to use those extraterrestrial substances in exchange for Nicias, but this Aurora didn't bother to listen to his persuasion - if the Dragon of Aurora decides to use force to **** Nisias, or use If the forbidden spell is used to deter the other party from releasing people, then the plan will be in vain!

Not only will he not get the generous rewards promised by the council, he will even be held accountable!

As soon as he thought of this, the anger and dissatisfaction that had just arisen were all thrown into the clouds, and he mournfully said, "Your Highness, it was my fault, please don't drive me away, I...I..."

Kant smiled as he looked at Anthony, whose expression changed drastically and was flustered.

very good.

This matter has been divided into three parts.

"Please don't worry, I also want to be able to rescue Nicias successfully. Please forgive me for my rudeness just now. Sometimes I speak too straight. Although it is not malicious, it hurts people."

Hearing Kant's sincere apology, Anthony let out a long sigh of relief. Hearing that Kant was no longer aggressive and even apologized, he felt grateful in his heart.

He said: "You don't have to apologize, I'm not angry, straightforward honesty is also an important quality..."

"Please don't comfort me, I have suffered a loss." Kant said here, sighed, "Before the battle of the Broken Isles, the peerless beast approached the far port, then the emperor of the Holy Empire sent a message to me, if I Willing to marry his daughter, he will send the imperial army to help, and allow me to break the earth and become king..."

Anthony's eyes widened—and that! ?

"Well, I replied to him very seriously, I explained to him what I knew about the situation in the Empire, that is, if I did marry the princess and became a member of the royal family, then I would use my influence, ban Curses and alchemy skills completely affect the political balance of the imperial capital. With my personal grievances with the eldest prince, he will definitely not end well. Even if I don't pursue him, I have to beware that he will act first. If I intend to interfere with the throne, support me. A princess wives vie for succession, and the empire will be divided and precarious..."

When he said this, he spread his hands and said: "As a result, the proposal of His Majesty the Emperor has nothing to do with it."

Anthony's look was even more wonderful—a pity, a pity, you're really straight.

"Alas, I often regret that I missed such a good opportunity because I spoke too straight." Kant laughed at himself, "Every time I sighed regret, Derela would often grab my ear and ask me with a smile,' Didn't you think about Muyue at all? Or did you say I wronged you with me' or something like that..."

He said distressedly, "she, sometimes I don't know if I'm joking or telling the truth."

Anthony's mouth gradually opened.

Hastily what did I hear?

He wanted to say something, when suddenly he heard a knock on the door, Kant snapped his fingers, the door was then pushed open, Anthony turned his head to look, his eyes lit up.

Two rows of elves, wearing clothes similar to waiter clothes but far more elegant than any waiter in a noble family, filed in. They were straight and well-proportioned. They were not as burly and majestic as the elves. With a handsome face, white-gloved hands holding delicate porcelain plates, with light and meticulous movements, he placed the plates on the table in turn, bowed slightly, and then floated away.

The expression is cold, the movements are capable, and there is a noble elegance.

"Please taste the specialties of my hometown."

Kant raised his hand and said, "The Broken Isles have limited conditions, poor food, and a little snack. I'm sorry."

Anthony has not recovered from the scene just now, and there is still a trace of envy in his eyes - to the whole world, elves are the chosen family, elegant and noble, so a well-trained, intelligent and capable elves The housekeeper is the status symbol of the nobles, and they are enthusiastically sought after.

And the pomp just now, I'm afraid even the Duke can't enjoy it...

And Kant…

Anthony was stunned, and then listened to the Aurora people asking: "What are you thinking? Is there anything wrong with them? If so, please accept my apology."

The man was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"

Kant shook his head and said: "Conditions are limited, there are no attendants and maids on the island, and they can only be selected from the army. The warriors are burly and huge, and they are too clumsy to do these things, so they can only be selected from the mages..."

Anthony opened his mouth wide: "Fa, mage? Are they wizard mage? Navy?"

Kant nodded calmly, with a calm expression, without any intention of showing off, as if it were a matter of course.

"This this…"

Anthony himself is a spellcaster. Whoever asks him to bring a plate to deliver water will definitely be furious, because the spellcaster has his own arrogant dignity. He is a wild mage, not to mention the elites in the army, and those are elves! The elves are arrogant and arrogant, and they are also spellcasters, how... how...

He recalled the expressions of those elves, and there was no shame or anger at all, nor the resentment of being humiliated and trampled on his dignity. This... Doesn't this mean...

—These elves sincerely recognize and respect Kant, even if they are serving tea and water, and doing some chores that are only done by servants, they are happy...

This…

Is the Phoenix King...

Did Kant he...

He was stunned for a while, and then slowly exhaled: "His Royal Highness is so majestic, I am truly in awe."

Kant shook his head and said: "It's useless, as soon as I open my eyes, I have to face the calculations and malice of the countries, I have to feed countless mouths, family affairs, thousands of livelihoods, all waiting for me to arrange and Command, no matter how powerful or high the status is, it doesn't make any sense, I am more busy than the emperor... I am busier than the emperor, but I don't have the enjoyment and fun of the emperor, alas..."

Listening to Kant's sigh, Anthony also nodded, as if he sympathized with the famous Dragon of Aurora, but he was busy all day - although he vaguely felt that something was not quite right.

After all, they are people from other worlds, and society has not developed to that point. Although the exploiting classes are bad, they are bad and magnanimous. They don’t know how to cover up and cover up.

Seeing his envious and thoughtful look, Kant nodded secretly.

very good.

This matter is already six points.

Anthony wanted to comfort a few words, but heard Kant say: "Eat, eat, uncle, I just interrupted your proposal and thoughts, not because I disrespect you, but I want you to calm down and relieve anxiety, because I need Your calm thinking and wise advice, and food is the best soothing medicine."

Anthony nodded gratefully, and picked up a piece of bread from the plate.

The entrance is sweet, with meat floss inside, and the wonderful taste fills the taste buds. It is extremely soft and waxy, and the aftertaste is infinite.

He was surprised: "This..."

Kant poured him a cup of Xiang Piao Piao by himself: "Try the specialties of my hometown."

After Anthony thanked him for drinking, he was conquered by the industrial condiments and synthetic spices. Kant invited him to taste every kind of food, which was an eye-opener for men, as if in a dream.

"This is really..." he said sincerely, "the best meal I've ever eaten."

"When you arrive at the Far Harbor, I'll treat you to better food." Kant smiled slightly, "It's not to show off, uncle, these are just food for the defenders of the Broken Isles, and it's not very rare."

Anthony's eyes widened suddenly.

He lost his voice: "Is this... not uncommon?"

The food, sweets, pastries and unknown delicacies that he has just eaten, with the experience he has learned in Turashaye, even the many delicacies and commodities of the capital of the Austrian Council are not enough to compete with it - and Kant To say that these are not very rare?

"Yes, in theory, hard-working civilians in Far Harbor can use their labor to buy... gourmet food, I hope more people can enjoy it and enjoy the happiness and happiness it brings."

Kant picked up a piece of QQ candy and threw it into his mouth: "I also want to sell these delicacies to all parts of the mainland, the empire, the moon, and the council. We have had meetings with several major chambers of commerce in the Austrian council. After communicating and negotiating, the mages have a great demand for sweets."

Anthony nodded.

Indeed, he can imagine what kind of trend these delicacies will set off in Tulaxiaye.

"Unfortunately, there were some unpleasant frictions between Far Harbor and the Council, and the matter was put on hold. After all, in the country of the Austrian Council, we lack trusted friends and partners... After all, there must always be a local agent. Business, the kind that can facilitate business and safeguard our interests.”

The man nodded subconsciously.

But the next moment, his body trembled visibly.

Then, a trembling feeling from the depths of his soul ran through his body, excited, unbelievable, suddenly, his body and mind were smooth, at this moment, the cloud and mist cleared, and he finally realized that he had been neglecting one thing that he was too obsessed with. For the promises and rewards of the council, it ignores more important treasures.

The Dragon of Aurora was by his side.

The Aurora people who slaughtered elves, slaughtered nobles, and terrorized the world were sitting with him, talking eloquently, with a gentle tone and a kind attitude.

Anthony had already seen the opponent's unrivaled alchemy skills.

He also witnessed the monstrous power of the other party with his own eyes, realized his close relationship with the Elf Queen, and also felt the impressive power of this person to be on a par with the leaders of the countries by himself.

The power he holds, the power he holds, the... keys to wealth.

And most importantly.

He seems to be more fascinated by Nicias and has a good impression of him.

And himself - Anthony Syracuse, a short-sighted idiot, who only wanted to make a deal with Nicias for a little favor, and then use it to flatter the council?

Not only stupid, but simply stupid!

At this moment, he finally realized the great value brought by his daughter - allowing him to sit with Kant, reach a consensus, and even forge a good relationship and shine.

He's so busy, so lacking in people to help with... so what am I waiting for?

I could even get the promised reward from the council and get on Kant's line on the other!

At this moment, Anthony lowered his head and covered the raging ambition in his eyes.

Of course, because of this, he couldn't see the meaningful gaze that the Dragon of Aurora looked at him.

smoothly.

Nine minutes have passed.

"uncle."

Anthony's body trembled immediately, and he raised his head as if he was on a pilgrimage.

The council's advice and the think tank's action plan were all thrown into the air.

"Let's talk about Nicias," Kant said. "The situation is delicate, and I have no intention of breaking out into a large-scale dispute with the council. It sounds like it would be a good idea to use extraterrestrial substances to redeem Nicias' freedom. , she can no longer stay in the Azure Fleet, and I personally can't tolerate the council using Nysias as a bargaining chip to continuously blackmail me, so I want her to join the Far Harbor..."

The previous foreshadowing and many designs are all for the single-handedness at this moment.

Kant asked: "If I were to negotiate with the Council to resolve the dispute over Nythias or even the entire Broken Isles, would you be willing to convey to the Council my proposals and conditions, and for my benefit, put forward your views and suggestions, and seek more favorable terms from the council? I am here to ask you for suggestions, and I am willing to listen to your voice.”

Anthony clenched his fists.

The nails are even embedded in the flesh, and there is no constant pain.

He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "It's an honor...for Nicias."

Kant stretched out his hand and shook hands with Anthony, who was busy stretching out his hands. The fire thief saw all the changes, excitement, ambitions and calculations under the eyes of the phoenix.

-very.
