Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

When the violent vibration, the roar of taxiing and the inertia of deceleration completely disappeared, bright lights sounded in the slightly dim cabin.

It was like the silence after the commotion, like the breeze after the rainstorm, like a lively stage play slowly coming to an end, the passengers in the cabin still kept their posture of sitting stiffly, they didn’t even realize that it was over— But soon, a calm voice sounded from the cabin.

I am Kant.

The Star Bridge project was a success.

Outside the porthole is a flat meadow, and in the distance are dark undulating mountains.

It was not a dream, but a landscape called Goethe on the other side of the Broken Isles, beyond the sea.

They traveled thousands of miles in just one hour, from the doomsday island full of dangers to the peaceful and stable continent. The wonderful, magnificent and shocking huge aircraft is like a giant bird in ancient mythology, carrying the surviving remnants from The desperate situation of raging floods and the collapse of heaven and earth came to a distant oasis.

None of this is really an illusion.

The peaceful life is broken, man-eating monsters are everywhere, forced to leave the peaceful den, saved by the strange soldier and "enemy" Kant.

He was transported by a hot air balloon to the steel fortress that was full of fire, and was escorted by the guards to Happy Valley, which was converted into an airport.

There are no gods there, just a dark blue sky.

Moments later, there was a sob in the cabin.

I don't know why, I just want to cry.

Leshalyn held Shirley's arm tightly, and she said with tears in her eyes: "Is it true? Shirley, are we dreaming? We fly into the sky, we land on land, and the sky is not cold at all, And good food, it took us an hour to get from the Broken Isles to the Far Harbor…”

"It's true, it's not a dream." Shirley stared at her, "because my brain is reminding me of the violent oppression by the hands of a village girl who brutally and violently pulled vegetables out of the dirt in your childhood. Make my slender arm about to have a massive rupture of capillaries - let go! Hand!"

"Ahhhh sorry sorry!"

Lysaline hurriedly let go, and then gently rubbed Shirley's arm carefully. The gray-haired girl stared out of the window in a daze. The lights were shining in the distance, and there were people running, many, many people.

She just glanced at it and looked back.

She looked around, looking at the table and chairs under her, the flying wings behind the window, and the crystal panel in front of it that briefly lit up for a short while, and inexplicable words, sounds and images jumped out.

Small fence windows overhead can shoot warm and cold currents.

these things…

"Sheryl, what are you thinking?"

The chestnut-haired girl asked curiously.

"This aircraft..." Shirley murmured, "Is it really made with the wisdom of one person?"

Her voice was too muffled, and at the same time, the crying and prayers in the rear cabin became louder and louder, so that Leshalyn couldn't hear her friend's words clearly: "What?"

The gray-haired girl came back to her senses and shook her head gently: "It's nothing."

"Every passenger, please note that the cabin door is about to open, please pay attention to the queue when you get off the plane, and do not fight and make noise in order Dazed and restless, you may have your own ideas, but before that, please enjoy a delicious dinner under the warm hospitality of Far Harbor, and soothe your frightened and tired heart."

The voice calling himself Horus sounded coldly: "Congratulations, you are all safe."

The outer escalator has moved over and is ready to be fixed.

The elf soldier serving as the flight attendant shouted: "Please follow the instructions, and get off the plane in groups! His Royal Highness Kant has ordered that all passengers from the Broken Isles stay in place for the time being, and the honorably wounded and fighting heroes will go first!"

"The crew of the Song of Evergreen stand up! Prepare to disembark!"

"The crew of Fuguang Feiying stood up! Prepare to disembark!"

"Cangqing Fury!"

"White Snow Peak!"

"Knight Astolfo!"

The wounded in the business class were helped to get up, and the soldiers in the front of the economy class also got up. The two girls sitting in their seats turned their heads and looked at the wounded and the "combat heroes" blushing, even the few. The elf soldiers who had always looked indifferent and were indifferent to the things around them all shattered the masks of Gao Leng, and some were at a loss, and even their bodies trembled with excitement.

The sound of the heavy cabin door sliding to the side sounded, the outside world was connected to the cabin, and the sound of the wind poured in, followed by cheers and applause like a tsunami of mountains and tsunamis, pouring into the cabin.

The long-awaited volunteer team, the dedicated spellcaster team, the patrol team, the medical team, the logistics support team, and several teams gathered here all came to the side of the passenger plane, facing the cabin door.

They clapped and cheered enthusiastically.

There is no need for any rehearsal or applause, there are some common emotions in this world.

After the passenger plane named "Homecoming" landed safely, the cabin door opened, and the steel bird roaming in the sky was finally connected to the mortal world. At this moment, all the preparations, busyness, mobilization and anticipation all felt real. As a result, people inside and outside the cabin had the same idea.

Together, they accomplished an amazing thing.

This may be the first time in their lives that such a sense of accomplishment has arisen.

Because before that, legends and epics belonged only to legendary kings and demigod heroes.

The people from the Broken Islands who were still on the passenger plane looked at the crowd gathered outside through the porthole, watching everyone's heartfelt cheers and laughter, an inexplicable emotion surfaced in their hearts.

To have a good impression of a person, a city or even a country may only require a sight, a smile, and a moment.

"Guests, you can get off the plane."

After the soldiers of the Combined Fleet left the cabin, the passengers stood up in rows and walked out of the cabin door under guidance and command. The wind from the outside was oncoming, and the airport was noisy. Facing the unfamiliar crowd, the foreign guests showed their signs. Cowardly, Leshalyn subconsciously grabbed her companion's hand.

She saw the huge vehicle flashing red and blue, the huge body like a war beast parked quietly not far away, the eyes lit up with awe-inspiring light, and the priests lifted the wounded into the dining car-like. On the cart, pushing towards the huge vehicle, the wounded seemed to be still struggling shyly.

She saw a group of mages and gentlemen covered in dust and in a hurry, holding instruments of all sizes and running towards the left tail of the aircraft, and there were faint hurried shouts.

"Check runway conditions..."

"Pay attention to the drop point... is there any tear..."

"Prepare for plastic re-reinforcement..."

A row of girls was already waiting under the escalator. They looked up and looked here. There was a hint of restraint in their smiles, but they were full of goodwill. At the bottom exit on the other side, there were a group of men standing.

"Good afternoon, two beautiful ladies."

After they walked down the stairs cautiously, a young girl had walked briskly. She saluted their skirts, and wore a red armband on her left arm—all the people waiting below were wearing this.

The girl's hair was tied into a fresh bunch, her smile was lively, there were a few freckles on her face, and she seemed to have a little pearl powder on her cheeks, looking bright and moving.

"You can call me Erina, I am a glorious Far Harbor volunteer, responsible for arranging the placement of the two in the temporary camp for the past few days. According to the order of His Royal Highness Kant, within seven days, the Far Harbor authorities will provide you free of charge. If you have any requirements, please let me know."

She blinked: "Only reasonable requests will be met."

The two professors looked at each other in dismay, and then they reacted immediately, nodding in response.

The chestnut-haired girl has a more lively temperament. She came from a farm family, and her nature is like this: "Lisalin! You can call me Lysa, as for this one, you can call her Shirley! Let me tell you in advance that she is a weirdo, but not bad. , it will only hurt people with her bad character and tone of voice!"

"…"

The gray-haired girl glared at her companion, then nodded and said: "Sheryl Cooper, the former professor of theoretical magic at the Sky Academy, is a wise man who is strict with self-discipline and confronts this cruel and absurd world with an excellent sense of humor. As you can see, the one next to me is a sad and ugly jealous nature who occasionally shows up as a human being, but it's not bad, just a bit stupid, whose body management is not up to standard, but wants to marry..."

"—Okay, stop talking!"

Lysaline interrupted the other party's words with claws.

"…a ha ha ha."

Erina's smile became a little subtle, and she said enthusiastically, "Let's go then?"

Leshalyn looked around. The girls who called themselves "volunteers" greeted the passengers in batches. She could count them clearly. One volunteer would be in charge of twelve people, but she and Shirley were the only ones here.

"Don't worry, the two are different. I was told in advance that because of the good interview performance, I was in charge of entertaining two famous scholars who are about to work for His Royal Highness Kant. Hehe, I earned it."

She pointed into the distance: "We can still ride in the car, woo woo woo, the car that can run fast without the need for a cow or horse, right there - let's go over there!"

Leshalyn and Shirley were in a state of unfamiliarity. They looked at each other and followed the lovely volunteer lady down the long runway.

This place is just built, everything is still new, there are shouts from a distance, everyone is busy, busy evacuating and relocating passengers, busy checking the road, the scenery around, some are familiar, some are unfamiliar, and those who are familiar are people , The unfamiliar is the alchemy tool. It is said that the unparalleled alchemy skills of the Aurora Dragon are vividly displayed in this so-called airport. There are more than a dozen cars with different shapes and sizes.

"Oh, right!"

Elena, who was jumping and leading the way, suddenly turned around, raised a finger, and emphasized: "There is one point to explain to the two of you!"

Leshalyn smiled, "What?"

She liked the character of this volunteer very much.

Under the shadow of the setting sun and the nearby lights, this lively and clean girl, who seems to be of low background, spoke with a serious look and a solemn tone.

"I'm not a maid, I'm a volunteer, I'm a person with the same dignity, personality and soul - this is what His Royal Highness Kant said, let's emphasize something to the passengers at the first time."

Judging from the rich teaching experience of the two professors, it was obvious that the girl was memorizing a passage of text by rote, so that she herself did not quite understand the meaning of the passage.

But she was still reciting it carefully.

"I am a volunteer, I volunteer to help those in need as much as I can, give my goodwill, and gain inner satisfaction, peace of conscience, and the approval of the gods. I will also defend my dignity, and I will not allow the noble holy Humiliated by narrow prejudice, I swear to treat those I help with kindness and equality, neither contempt nor flattery, and His Highness Kant will ensure by fire and sword that I am treated equally, by this agreement until With everyone being so kind to each other, that's the world we want."

After all, she was not very proficient in memorizing, her speech was too fast, and she was a little nervous. After reading, she was relieved and smiled subconsciously, and then she found that the two beautiful young ladies were staring at her motionless.

"What... what's wrong?"

Elena showed a mixture of unease and tension, and then cautiously said, "Do you have any objection to these words? It's better not to do this?"

"No, no..."

Leshalyn said softly, "It just feels good...very good."

"...Well." Elena smiled, she walked backwards, motioned for the two to follow, and then said, "It's a declaration that we have to memorize after being selected, I can't say where it is, but I also think it's true. Well, we want a world where everyone treats each other kindly..."

She seemed to be imagining that world, showing an envious look, and said softly, "That's great."

After a while, Shirley, who had not spoken all the time, said lightly: "It's too naive and delusional, this is something that the gods can't do, the people of Aurora think things are too simple - did he soak in the honey pot? ? Or feel that your life is too boring and want to do something challenging?"

Erina showed a displeased look: "How can you say that?"

Shirley looked calm: "Is there anything wrong with my statement?"

Irina thought for a moment, she was not sharp enough, and her eloquence was not good enough, but she still said angrily: "It's just... I think you are laughing at His Royal Highness Kant! You can't do this! Because you were rescued by His Royal Highness Kant. Yes! How could it be possible to laugh at him?"

Shirley shook her head and said, "It is precisely because Kant saved me that I care about his affairs and express my opinions, and this is not a criticism or ridicule against Kant. Your intelligence may not understand that this world is a Selfish, evil, stupid and disgusting world."

She showed a sneering look and looked to the other side: "The city and country where you and I live are actually no different from the forest more than ten miles away. Suppose there are 100 people in this world and a total of 80 grains of grain. Not even one grain of grain could be distributed by one person, but the king and nobles took sixty grains and were very full, because there were only five of them."

"And the remaining ninety-five people will share the remaining twenty grains. Some people can find ways to grab enough to make themselves more full, some people can barely eat enough, but some people can't eat enough, and some people can't eat enough. People don't have to eat."

"Eighty percent of the evil deeds and negative emotions in this world, robbery, stealing, cheating, killing, greed, jealousy, selfishness, hatred, are all because ninety-five people want twenty grains of grain in each district, There will always be someone who can’t get enough to eat, someone will always find a way to get enough, and they can only grab it like a beast.”

"And the intelligence of intelligent creatures made them think of a more effective method than force, so sins more disgusting than simple plunder and robbery appeared."

"By the way, the remaining 20 percent is because the five people who are very full want more."

Erina was stunned.

Shirley looked at this ordinary girl with a hint of pity in her eyes: "Look, this is the difference between me and you, you think life is difficult, you feel that mortals have toiled all their lives, and they seem to be born to suffer, and you feel that there is something wrong with this world. Problems, but they can't speak, they can only be born and die in ignorance."

"And I'm much smarter than you, my intelligence is much higher than yours, so I know better than you, don't be angry, it's not a show, I don't even know if I should envy a stupid and confused guy like you, because I Seeing the nature of the world, this world is disgusting, distorted, corrupted to the point of disgusting, full of greed and evil, held by morally corrupt greeds instead of righteous kings and leaders, the whole world is chaotic and disorderly, I I knew what the problem was, but there was nothing I could do about it."

"I'm more pitiful than you."

She kept walking, walked to Erina, passed by, continued forward, and said casually: "As long as there are only eighty grains of grain in the world, and as long as a small number of people still take most of the grain, then your Highness Kant The good world that is to be built will never be achieved, not only will it not be achieved, but in the process of trying to achieve it, it will be torn to shreds by all the disgusting scum and scum of the world united."

"Because he dared to take fifty-five grains from the mouths of these five people."

"Do you know how the epics you've heard and the dramas you've watched, the shining heroes and saints died? Some of them are greedy people who whitewash themselves with lies and conspiracies, and they're one of those five people. , and the other part is the fool who really wants to take back the fifty-five grains for ninety-five people-now, do you know how they died?"

When she said this, she let out a low, untraceable sigh.

Lyshalyn was at a loss. She glanced at her friend's back, then looked at the little girl Irina who didn't know what to do, and stomped her feet: "Oh! I knew, you..."

Before she finished speaking, Irena turned her head and trotted two steps, followed Shirley, and stood in front of her.

The words spoken by the scholar of the Broken Islands Sky Academy, the fisher girl in the far port cannot argue with him. This has nothing to do with equality. It is a crushing gap between knowledge and experience, but this man just joined the volunteer team today. The young girl still made a rhetorical rebuttal with simple wisdom.

She gasped for excitement and asked earnestly, "Before today, did you believe that His Royal Highness Kant could use a very large alchemy aircraft to transport hundreds of people thousands of miles away from the Broken Isles within an hour. To the far port?"

Shirley was startled for a moment, and she shook her head honestly: "I do have an instinctive suspicion."

Elena said loudly: "Before that, His Highness Kant defeated the elves and ended the war. He opened the gate of the valley in the sky and flowed out fragrant wheat waves. He floated the huge battleship made of steel on the sea. , these things were told to us a few months ago, and none of us believed them, but one thing after another, we have seen them all!"

"I don't understand what you're talking about, and I don't know if you're right or not, but I just think that if His Royal Highness Kant decides to do something, it will definitely be done!"

"It's that simple!"

Shirley stopped and stared blankly at this excited girl. She had never read a book, she was naive, her logic was stupid, and she was a typical ordinary person. Since she was a child, she had always resisted communicating with such a person, because three After the words, it will inevitably cause her great discomfort at the psychological level.

But when the girl in front of her said these words seriously, there was no annoying ignorance on her face.

It's not the same as those idiots who are ignorant, numb, submissive, and feel that they don't deserve to eat a grain of food before.

There was another wonderful and beautiful emotion on his face.

Although it is still only a tender sprout.

She was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

"Okay, it seems that there is one more reason to stay here."

The girl said, "Let me take a look too."
