Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

It is said that diplomacy is about speaking the dirtiest thoughts in the most elegant words.

If this is the case, then in the past few days of negotiations, the Austrian Law Council has been passed down by Far Harbor with graceful diplomatic rhetoric for eight hundred times.

This is probably the most humiliating negotiation this country has experienced since its founding.

Naturally, it also caused the members of the Star Court to be furious and scolded their mothers.

Even if they can't come to the negotiating table in person, they can still know the progress of the negotiation in real time through the expensive magic communication means. All those who try to observe the negotiation process are full of blood pressure.

The attitude of the far port side is arrogant and lazy.

When greedy is like a hyena, extraterrestrial substances are sold by the gram, and the redemption price of prisoners is comparable to that of gold.

Not only that, but he actually said the nonsense in person, "If you don't buy it, Duyue and the Empire will buy it. Is it really okay to be completely backward in this important research and development field?"

The elegant and decent diplomatic rules established by the mainland, and the noble honor established by Goethe since the era of One Piece, were all corrupted by the ghostly princess Tina.

Not only that, but when implementing the terms of the agreement, you are lazy like a sloth, scrutinizing and researching around a small clause, don't ask, just don't believe you, you have to see if there are any rhetorical traps.

If you think the other party is procrastinating, just a little urging will get the other party's innocent look and ask, "Are you in a hurry?" This can make the lawmakers tremble with fear.

Simply unbearable.

Today's Starry Sky Court is still full of swear words and insults. Anyone who has watched the negotiation scene for three days, no matter how good the temperament is, will be worn down, but...

"That guy in Oxington, what are you doing!"

"In addition to selling arms and spreading death, does he have nothing else to do!"

"Our Ilan-Tair allies are eagerly waiting, eager to save, delayed for too long, and have been downgraded by our future allies. Can he afford such a responsibility!"

"Don't make any secret agreement with Kant to help the Aurora people delay time!"

The factions supporting Oxington and the opponents quarreled, and the negotiation ahead was extremely slow. Today, the Star Court is still colliding with the spark of freedom, and the great system exudes vitality.

The grand speaker swept across the seat with a sullen look. Like the previous speakers, he had questioned the necessity and rationality of the court countless times, and wished he could raise all these selfish and selfish idiots - but sometimes it is reasonable and meaningless. , because reasonable or not, they are all here, and they are deeply ingrained, closely bound to this country, and they are too involved, too big to fail, too big to fail.

He sighed silently, then said, "Anyway, we have to speed up the negotiation process."

The parliamentarians also noticed that the grand speaker was in a bad mood. Even if their backgrounds were extraordinary and powerful, they had to respect the de jure supreme lord. If their core members were the nobles of the country, then the speaker was undoubtedly the biggest. A nobleman... a duke or a king.

At least the stupid Oxington was sent to the Far Harbor to preside over the negotiations because he offended the Speaker, but he had nothing to do. In order to prevent himself from becoming the second Oxington, the councilors did not Mind to keep the surface respectful and well-behaved, especially in this moment of urgency.

They stopped arguing, died down, and returned to negotiating.

Facing the proposal of the Speaker, one MP said: "But it is frustrating that whether the negotiations go well or not depends not on us, but on the attitude of Far Harbor."

The speaker snorted: "Kant the Aurora, the greedy hyena, flamboyant and arrogant. He wants to take this opportunity to humiliate and blackmail us, he is enjoying the honor and joy of victory, he wants to see us bow our heads Concession, no, he is an extreme utilitarian and pragmatist, he prefers to get more from us than to see us as ugly..."

The MPs nodded.

These days, the dissemination effect of Kang Xue in the Austrian Law Council has been gratifying, and think tanks are constantly updating the information, trying to outline the character characteristics of the Dragon of Aurora from Kant's words and deeds.

The most recent conclusion is that hypocrisy is better than concealment, and greed is unscrupulous.

Likes to pull the banner of morality to achieve the ulterior secret, that is, under the banner of upholding justice, he completed the purge of the nobles of the Far Harbor, and obtained the approval of the stupid pariahs with small favors, in order to make the West Coast commercial center. Returning to the Far Harbor, he planned the cataclysm of the Broken Isles.

—Yes, the idea that "Kant is responsible for the destruction of the Broken Isles" is very popular within the council, and many conspiracy theorists believe that this is the conspiracy of the Aurora, and the arguments are well-founded.

The sea beast awakened, devoured everything, and the Broken Archipelago, which was the enemy of Kant and robbed the Far Harbor's business hub status, collapsed. Even with the strength of the Council, it was impossible to deal with that terrifying disaster.

However, Kant launched an unprecedented rescue operation in a mere city, mobilized manpower, unified resources, launched rescues, and killed sea beasts. the only beneficiary.

- You have easily done something that the council can't do quickly, Kant, you still say you don't know? You are clearly prepared and intentional!

Driven by this kind of conspiracy theory, the so-called think tank's description of Kant's character is getting darker and darker, and even rational voices have been drowned in the tide of political correctness.

Yes, opposing Kant is the greatest political correctness of the Council at this time.

Because everyone knows that the members of the Star Court are extremely hostile to the Aurora people, because everyone knows that Kant has repeatedly rejected the goodwill of the council and hurt the interests of the country of mages. The most important thing is that if Kant Be kind, upright, and responsible, so what are we?

Do you dare to say that Kant went to save the civilians of the Broken Isles purely out of good faith?

Members of Congress are going to fire you, why don't you list this as a crime? To rescue the useless and low-value civilians that can be seen everywhere is completely over-acting and over-exerting, which shows that Kant has a ghost in his heart, so he must use this method to prove his justice and kindness.

Therefore, most of the things in the Broken Isles were done by him.

The think tanks picked up the arguments that the legislators liked to hear and said that when the legislators saw that the think tanks had reached the same conclusion as themselves, they solidified their thoughts and impressions, and felt that Kant was a despicable big devil.

In line with the idea of ​​"it is not necessary to pay attention to the morality of the rivers and lakes when dealing with demons and demons", in this negotiation, they also planned to use out-of-the-box tricks.

The core demand of the negotiation is to quickly obtain enough relics.

Therefore, the initial plan of the legislators was to promise Kant a blank check, and then, on the grounds of "longer preparation time and slow transportation", and then with some small tricks and sweetness, Kant agreed to deliver the ylan-tel substance in advance. , after getting it, the council can immediately start a rescue plan.

After rescuing the remnants of Ilan-Tyr and bringing them back to their homeland, talk about other things.

If there are other channels and methods for the survivors of the era to obtain these three substances, then Kant will go to his mother, what agreement, what treaty, play the eggs, the grandfathers do not recognize it, and have never heard of it.

I have to say that this method is extremely effective and has a high success rate. Because the Council is a major power in the world, its own national strength, financial strength and prestige are great credit guarantees. If it is replaced by a small country, most of them will be confused. cheated.

As for the follow-up council to tear up the agreement and treat it as if nothing happened... What can you do with a small country?

Do you want economic sanctions or military retaliation? I give you a chance to reorganize the language.

All over the place claiming that I am perfidious and feeling that my national credibility and diplomatic prestige will be damaged?

What a joke, as long as the Arcane Council still absorbs and cultivates more than half of the casters from all over the world, as long as this country still firmly controls the colonies of the southern islands city-states, as long as this country still has the strongest military force of the top three in the mainland, The national credit will always be full!

Even if you know that I am a bastard, even if you know that Lao Tzu is blackmailing and cleaning you up, even if you know that Lao Tzu is uneasy and kind, but what Lao Tzu says is what it is, you only have to be obedient.

Parliamentarians know that power is the only rule. They are used to playing this game, and often do so. When it comes to bullying small countries, this kind of pressure is always unfavorable. Said Kant's head.

Then the Aurora people slapped them in the face.

This proposal to get the goods first and pay later was brutally rejected, and Yuangang said no.

When the money is in place, you can get the goods.

Ren is the negotiating minister who has all the good things to say and discuss and discuss, but the far port will not let go.

When asked in a hurry, just swipe your face.

"His Royal Highness Kant does not believe that the robbers who are trying to buy the goods will be honest after they get the goods first."

This remark was so mean that it was not even recorded in the negotiating paperwork.

It was sent back to the Starry Sky Court, and of course it received a bunch of angry curses.

"We must get the three relic substances as soon as possible... Kant is a utilitarian greedy animal. He values ​​interests rather than fame, so we can make appropriate concessions."

The Speaker made his proposal.

A congressman questioned: "Refund? The current price is outrageous enough!"

"But after all, it's barter, isn't it? At least the Alchemy Armament Center and the Rune Workshop can receive new orders. The craftsmen and slaves he wants, how many of these things are needed in the colony, Kant has patented our spells. I'm very interested in magic technology and it doesn't matter if I give him a part of it..."

The Grand Chancellor said lightly: "After all, we can get better from Yilan-Tair."

"Having said that..." said another member, "but the far port side is lazy, and Kant insists on paying first and then getting the goods. I'm worried that they will delay for a month..."

"Then add more money to make Kant agree happily."

The grand speaker's eyes flickered: "At this stage, we only need to get two tons of relics. In my opinion, we can negotiate with Kant to make the transaction of relics a monthly stream. Tell him that we are willing to every month. Importing three tons of extraterrestrial substances from the far port, you can even pay in advance and pay a high deposit, making this trade a continuous big business..."

He said this with a sneer: "In short, get the first batch of goods first and use it to rescue Ilan-Tair, once we succeed, then the price of this big business, we will always have a way to make Kant Spit it all out... After all, the agreement can be torn up at any time!"

The lawmakers looked at each other and pondered, thinking that there was nothing wrong with it.

The Speaker looked around: "Let's start voting."

One arm is raised.

plan to pass.

"Send this proposal to Oxington and order him to propose it."

The court documents complied, and the crystal plate radiated aura. The congressmen were talking about it, and some people said: "I'm afraid this is still too slow... It will take a while to load the goods."

The Speaker sighed: "There is no other way but to solve it through negotiation - the first batch of barter items in exchange, it is best to focus on small items or even patented technologies..."

After a short period of time, the court text said strangely: "Lord Speaker, your Excellencies, the negotiating mission sent back news that Far Harbor responded to our proposal."

Everyone was refreshed: "What response?"

"Theoretically agreed, but the first month's trading goods need to be designated by the far port, focusing on various types of military magic tools, magic tactical equipment and advanced magic drugs, as well as patented technical knowledge..."

The congressmen frowned: "It may take a long time for these things to be mobilized, loaded, and transported to the far port."

"On this point, the far port can take advantage of His Royal Highness Kant's space teleportation ability to pick up the goods..."

The voice of the clerk was like the sound of nature, soothing the worries of the members, making them turn their worries into joy, but the next moment, the happy expression froze on their faces.

"But the council has to pay for it, and the quotation is extremely expensive, because Aurora Dragon needs to personally deliver the goods. The project is called "Conzunda", the top exclusive service in the logistics business of Sigoethe..."

After a brief silence, the deputies began cursing again.

"...Agree."

After several days of confrontation and entanglement, the negotiations between Far Harbor and the Austrian Council of Law finally made substantial progress. Although the two parties claimed that this was only a small part of the negotiation Negotiations on research collaborations still need to continue.

But secretly, it is very clear that the extraterrestrial material trade, especially the first month trade, is likely to be the only part of this negotiation that can be achieved, and the rest are uncertain.

What is more interesting is that the council did not know that Far Harbor knew, but Far Harbor had seen through everything, just as Anthony thought that the council did not know that he had reached a secret agreement with Kant, but Oxington already knew it and agreed. decided to use it.

Everyone has their own plans, everyone has their own position.

Calculation, betrayal, conspiracy, deception.

Only the remnants of Ilan-Tair still continue to wait in the sealed cage, waiting for the second chance of the race, and the unknowable future and tomorrow.

And the commander of the Azure Fleet, Nicias, hid in the room, closed the door, and fell into great confusion and confusion. She has never been to the Broken Isles again in the past three days.

The remnants of the previous era, the mortal council navy admirals of this generation, their fates had nothing to do with each other, but there is a faint similarity - unable to control their own destiny, can only passively meet the future, bewildered. He waited anxiously, with a trace of inexplicable anticipation in his fear.

And above nine days, in the starry sky, there is also a dazed waiter who met fate.

The keeper of the star palace, Apophis, the god-destroying star.

He has presided over the repair work in the past few days, dealt with the damage caused by the nuclear light spear, assessed the damage of the Star Dome Bridge, and started to formulate several plans to gradually unblock the technology and weapons collected from the previous era, And sent a signal to the explorers of the great land to return.

A few days ago, the blow from the mortal world made him furious, the Star Vault Bridge shattered, and the passage for the army to descend into the mortal world was destroyed.

Because he doesn't even know who is messing with him.

Therefore, the Destroyer Star, as always, knelt down in front of the star string in the Holy Auditorium and prayed silently, trying to search for traces of its master in the endless void and the universe. He has done this kind of thing for a long time, and everyone has done it. For a long time, but never gained.

They don't even know if the master is still in this galaxy.

But further afield, who can reach?

Apophis, who knelt down devoutly, once again received the prayer that disappointed him. There was no response or fluctuation. He opened his radiant holy eyes and sighed silently.

But the next moment, Destroyer Star's expression changed drastically.

He stood up suddenly, the gorgeous armor collided and slammed softly, and his face showed excitement, because in the dark, he heard a call across a long distance, it must be an area where light has to travel for a long time, he He could hear that the master had woken up from his slumber, the master was very weak, and even his voice was inscrutable, subtle and almost silent, but he still heard the supreme oracle.

"Mortal..."

"enemy…"

"Prevent…"

Does the master actually know about the events and threats that are happening in the mortal world? Who is the enemy?

Apophis was full of surprises, and at the same time was in awe of the great ability of his master. He could sense that his master was far, far away, but even so, could he be aware of the mortal threat?

So, who is the enemy?

He held his breath, felt with all his strength, and the voice that followed for thousands of years guided the enemy's name, just like all battles since ancient times, all enemies, all...fire thieves.

The master spoke the name of a new enemy.

"...Kant."

The Mao media retweeted wildly, and they were so excited that I didn’t know how much it would be useful, but it was worth spending a little money, spending a little bit, even if it was simply disgusting for a British guy.
