Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

"The core of the furnace gathers energy!"

"The element channel is open!"

"Prism Refraction Ready!"

"The launch pad is on!"

"Irradiate!"

Blazing rays blazed out from the launch pad, Yanzi's light spear was refracted in the prism of the mage tower, the deflected blade of light swept across the vast sandy beach, the transparent glass crystals burned all the way, and the dense sea monsters swarmed like three-body human beings. Dehydrated and evaporated to dryness, charred corpses and shiny glass traces all over the floor!

"Continuous illumination! Prism deflection!"

The naval mages on the mage tower are like playing fruit ninjas, manipulating the powerful blade of light to cut around, and wherever they go, sea monsters die!

Now, the three fortresses on the central island have all been occupied. The elite naval mages of the Arcanist Council and the elves have used their own hard work to crack these three strategic weapons, not by a backdoor procedure, but by their own efforts. For his own use, the massacre of the sea monsters that washed ashore began.

As for the mage tower responsible for refracting the Yanzi light spear... Although several mage towers that can attack the Long Beach waters have been destroyed, of course there are other angles.

Kandy took a trip and used the large cannonballs in the vinegar bowl to make the on-duty mages of the Mage Tower bow their heads, and then came to pull the Mage Tower upside down and planted it to the designated attack position.

Didn't the Prism Tower rise from the ground? This is not surprising.

The surrendered spellcasters and apprentices of Natoubenbai were brought back to the big platform base by the dragon attack aircraft hanging on the bullet rack. Kant had something to ask them.

The Aurora Master Meizhu and his good brother Eric, as the first progressives to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, have conducted warm and ideological work with their former colleagues and fellow villagers.

With the etiquette, I let my guard off a little, and then it was a high-pressure interrogation that took advantage of the emptiness.

In a small dark room, a mage sat on a chair and looked curiously at the lamp on the table. He was very interested in this kind of alchemy magic tool that had no magic fluctuations but could emit light by itself, but soon he His attention was attracted by the food on the table - a bowl that looked like a paper, the lid lifted a gap, exuding the steaming heat and tempting smell, which made him swallow subconsciously.

Outside, the soldiers of the logistics team dragged a trailer for the emergency delivery of shells, and there were two alchemy puppet dogs next to them, each carrying two bags of machine gun ammunition, and ran.

Farther away, there was a roar, a burst of light and smoke, and the sky resounded with a shriek of death.

Kant opened the shutters to let in the light outside. He glanced outside, then turned his head and said, "Do you know who I am?"

As the controller of the Mage Tower Prism during wartime, the mage's status and arcane rank are naturally not low. The employee system in the Broken Isles also belongs to the ranks of senior experts and is quite famous.

But everything he is proud of is not enough to see in front of Kant.

In terms of status and status, Kant and the Phoenix King had a good time talking and laughing. He only had enemies at the level of the Holy Empire, the Arcane Council, and the Dragon Island. Of course, he was far superior to him.

Regarding the arcane level, although Kant did not go to the Arcane Council to participate in the professional level examination and certification, the few big stones that fell from the sky in the past few months are the best certificates. How extravagant the name is, a spellcaster like him can't imagine.

What's more, this master is famous in the world for killing people, elves and dragons without blinking an eye.

So the spellcaster, who had a high status on the island, immediately stood up like a schoolboy, his tone was terrified, as if he was reciting the character introduction in a history textbook, such as titles such as "famous thinker, educator, revolutionary", and he opened his mouth to speak. Come: "You are the Forbidden Mage, the Dragon of Aurora, the enemy of the Dusk Moon..."

"...All right, all right."

Kant pointed to the chair: "Sit."

He pulled out a chair opposite and sat in front of the mage.

The Dragon of Aurora reached out and adjusted the angle of the lamp, and then said calmly, "Since you know who I am, you should also know what I hate the most."

The mage swallowed: "You... hate traitors the most."

"bingo."

Kant was very relieved, it seems that Kang Xue has slowly spread, which is cool.

He nodded and said: "Since you understand so well, then our next dialogue will have a foundation. I hate betrayers and people who do not keep their promises, but in addition, I am also a reasonable person, willing to compare my heart and give Trusted person, now, I am interested in making a deal or an agreement with you."

"…You say."

Kant pointed to the outside: "You should also know that the outside has become a big cesspool, and many messy monsters have sprung out of the sea. Your Broken Isles are a complete piece of grass. My primary purpose now is to keep my people alive. Take it back so I can make a deal with you."

"My bargaining chip is that I can take you and your people with me when I am evacuating, and take you to the far port, and then you can leave by yourself, or you can stay, and if you are interested, you can even work under me, but The premise is that the review and inspection pass and prove your worth to me."

The mage said without hesitation, "I agree!"

"Listen to me first." There was no emotion in Kant's tone, "It needs to be emphasized that I regard this as an agreement, and what I ask in return is that you answer all my questions and do your best. , you can't hide it, if you agree, it will be deemed that the agreement is established, you and I will do our best, and you will fulfill your promise, so will you, but if I find out that you are lying or concealing..."

He said lightly, "Then you'll be fine."

"...Absolutely not, Your Highness."

"It's up to me to judge."

"Yes."

"Then the first question..." Kant tilted his head, "You created those monsters?"

"Ah?" The mage was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously said, "No..."

Then he reacted, thought about it carefully, and smiled bitterly: "I really don't know, Your Highness, with my level and status, I have never heard of similar topics and rumors, if this is really the secret weapon of the island owner. , and it wouldn't be something that someone like me could know."

Kant nodded: "It makes sense, the second question, the area of ​​the central island is the largest, and I think the population should also be the largest."

The Master replied honestly: "In terms of the number of garrisoned troops, staff, handymen and businessmen, it is indeed the largest, but there are no civilians to settle here, nor does it receive ordinary tourists, there are people who come here to travel happily. Great people with status and wealth, except for them and the island owner, everyone else on the island is there to protect, serve, and please them..."

"So where did all these people go?"

Kant asked: "After the sea monster attack, we hit here all the way from the vicinity of Atkins Island. Before that, the central island did not seem to be invaded by the sea monster landing, but apart from the defenders and defense forces, I did not see To ordinary people, where have these people gone?"

The caster was stunned for a moment: "This... I can only answer what I know, when your ultimatum was spread throughout the Broken Sea, the order issued by Zhenhai Castle was to continue the attack and hold on to our posts, saying that these sea monsters were released by you. Out Devourer, your rhetoric is nothing but a show to induce us to let our guard down."

Kant snorted.

"As for where the people on the island went... I don't know very well, but when I was on duty, out of anxiety and hesitation, I observed the situation on the island with eagle eye and atmospheric perspective array."

The caster said softly: "Long before the attack, all the staff at a resort winery on the east side of the No. 12 Mage Tower where I was on duty had been evacuated—to Zhenhai Castle."

Kant frowned: "All?"

"Yes, all."

The Master emphasized: "From the winery manager, to the handyman farmers, and even a series of staff such as waiters, wine connoisseurs, and maids, all retreated to Zhenhai Castle under the **** of the guards."

Kant's eyebrows rose.

He pondered for a moment: "Your boss, the owner of this island, is a kind person who loves his people like a son?"

The mage was stunned, then shook his head and said, "Your Highness, this island is a paradise, a dreamland created by the island owner himself, which makes many rich and powerful people in the world linger. The great people in the sect felt extremely happy and happy, what is the so-called service project, even a mage like me is reluctant to think about it.”

"He controls 40% of the wealth in the Broken Isles, and his business partners are all over the world. I don't know how much money he has, and I'm afraid he doesn't even know it himself, but if he ranks among the twenty richest richest people in the world, Then he must be in it."

When he said this, he showed a complicated wry smile: "Do you think such a rich person, and a person who has always been so rich, would be a good person?"

Kant's expression moved slightly, and he clicked: "Fuck."

He stood up, snapped his fingers, and the lights in the room flickered.

"The deal is done, you're doing well...not bad for now. Eat something now, take a break, you're safe, I'll take you and your people away, during this time, you'll be under house arrest, don't use spells, don't do Anything suspicious, once discovered, you know the consequences."

Then he pushed the door out.

"Quirion! Halsey!"

Elves and humans are in place at once.

Kant looked at Son of Typhoon: "How about the other islands?"

Halsey reported: "We sent messages to the islands with the ubiquitous wind, but the observations of atmospheric perspective and eagle eye surgery were not optimistic. Other islands did not have our attack power, and were also attacked by sea monsters at the first time, causing casualties. Huge, innumerable monsters attack ships, docks, residential areas and settlements..."

He said this with a sigh.

"...The casualties are heavy, and the sea monster's offensive continues to spread."

Kant was silent for a moment.

Although the evacuation operation evacuated almost all the Aurora, Gothic, Imperial, Elves and Arcanist Council citizens who wanted to leave, there were still many people left in the Broken Isles.

Many of them were hostile to Kant, or they were willing to be the lackeys of the island owners, or they were ignorant and unable to control their fate... They died in the mouth of the ferocious sea monsters.

Regardless of position, the helplessness of life will always make people sigh in their hearts.

But he had no good way to save so many people.

It is very difficult to even withdraw more than a thousand people under him to the far port immediately.

He sighed: "Did you find out..."

At this moment, the eagle-eyed officer on the observation platform said loudly: "There is a situation!"

At the same time, the voice of Horus also sounded in his ears: "Father, we have detected a new situation. On the island to the southeast, there are spellcasters flying towards the viewing platform with the aid of gliding equipment, and hot air balloons are launched. The Eye of Lucius used by the Survey Corps..."

Kant suddenly woke up: "Ah! Yes!"

- Why didn't I think of that before!

There are endless sea monsters, attacking from the deep sea, biting ships, jumping to eat people, it is no longer safe to sail, but these ferocious sea monsters can climb to land in the deep sea, but they can't fly!

He had been thinking about distress before, and felt that it was a problem of rigid thinking that he could not withdraw more than a thousand people at one time.

There is no way to travel by sea, space transmission is difficult and troublesome, and air transportation also requires a venue, but after thinking about it, I forgot one thing - the first time humans traveled the sky, they did not use fixed-wing aircraft.

But a hot air balloon.

Aircrafts with similar principles also appeared in the other world, but they used more magic power.

Even Goethe was equipped with quite a few.

When Kant thought of this, he no longer hesitated, and said to Halsey: "I will now announce to the entire Broken Islands waters that I will try my best to provide rescue assistance to the survivors, and all those who are willing to accept help, regardless of status, regardless of wealth. As long as you work hard to save yourself, you will have the opportunity to get help.”

"Let them set off to the highest point of each island as much as possible, and then call on all the spellcasters on each island to gather. I will send hot air balloons to each island. Experienced spellcasters are needed to manipulate and control..."

As soon as these words came out, the officers were stunned.

They did not expect Kant to issue such an order.

Regardless of status, regardless of wealth.

- If you say rescue spellcasters, wealthy and technical personnel, then it is understandable that after this battle, the Broken Isles are finished, and it is indeed a fortune to win over the most valuable talents in this land of wealth with such a favor. Good deal, but...are the poor and untouchables saved too?

Seeing their surprised eyes, Kant frowned and said, "Is there any problem?"

"...No, no!"

They looked at each other, then suddenly, with self-deprecating smiles.

The navy is sometimes a little more romantic than the army.

"It's better to say..." Querion beat his chest and saluted Kant, "This is what we should do!"

Halsey turned around and shouted, "Wind Mage Group! Sound Whistling Array!"

There was a low smile from Horus: "Father, don't forget, those you want to save may have been scolding you a few hours ago, or even scolding you now."

"It's okay, I'm kind, and I'll give them a chance to change their minds."

The Transformers asked again: "I would like to believe that you, or a wise person, have already left in the previous evacuation operation. Are these diehards worth saving by my father?"

"worth."

Kant resolutely said: "Those who have money will pay for their lives, and those who have no money will work for Lao Tzu. I will use them to create more value and save more people worthy of saving - do you think it's not worth it?"

"…what?"

"Ah for what?

Kant said impatiently: "When have you seen me do free good deeds?"

"Ah, there are quite a few, such as Valentine, Danfeng Lucerne, Moyani..."

"—Shut up! That's called long-term investing!"

Kant shouted: "Querion, form a commando! There are also the most experienced tactical consultants, construction experts, trap experts, alchemy consultants and other members! When the rescue operation starts, we will go to Zhenhai Castle to kick the door! In addition to saving people, we must also punish evil!"

The elf captain responded loudly: "Yes! Follow your orders!"

Horus smiled: "It sounds like you think this has something to do with the island owner."

Kant snapped his fingers and opened the door of phase: "There are indications that he must not be able to get rid of the relationship - and, what do you think he led most of the people on the island to the castle for? He is not someone who loves his people like a son, A good man with a good heart."

Transformers guessed: "Hostage? Maybe it's because you think your father is a good man who loves the people like a son and has a good heart, so he takes many innocent people as hostages and forces you to let him live?"

Kant shrugged and jumped to the white mist world, leaving only one sentence.

"That's the best bad news."
