Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Holy Empire, Imperial Palace.

There was a long-lost laughter in the emperor's study.

"The Dragon of Aurora, the Forbidden Magician, also has today." He raised the letter in his hand and smiled at the children who came to listen to the admonition early in the morning, "I thought there was nothing in the world that he couldn't do."

When the news of the Broken Isles came, His Majesty the Emperor was having breakfast. After reading the letter, he happily ate two more slices of bacon. There is nothing more gratifying than seeing the fire in the opponent's house. He instantly realized To the tricky situation Kant faced.

and decide to do something about it.

"This Forbidden Magic Mage has a grudge against the Empire. I seem to have vaguely heard that he wants to kill Alex."

The emperor said this deliberately, and then looked at the eldest son who was standing beside him.

The eldest prince, Alex, was actually the direct planner of the Huisha Incident. He instructed Samuel to attack the Goethe mission, not only to cut off Goethe's way of seeking help, but also to have an intention on Tina.

In fact, Tina has always been sought after and paid attention by the aristocratic class of the whole continent, and is regarded by many nobles as the first choice for the in-laws of their children and grandchildren. Even the emperor of the empire has considered the possibility of marriage—Princess Goethe’s beauty and wisdom are second. , mainly because many big families with sufficient background have heard of it. As the descendant of Tydaril, the bloodline of the seven heroes, Tina is the most special one.

After the Huisha Incident, Tina went to the north of the empire under the protection of Sword Saint Waterfall to convene volunteer troops to help Goethe. There were also many nobles who had this idea, but Tina, who was increasingly cruel and decisive, used Hillmelia. The force of the army secretly thwarted or even strangled, and when the news of Valentine's victory came, all the attempts and coveting in the dark corners were all vanished.

After all, no matter how deep the ancient family is, it can't stop the curse.

If the person with ulterior motives was just shocked by the forbidden spell and died, and the mood and situation of the eldest prince Alex is undoubtedly much worse.

He had heard of Kant's name before the Battle of Valentine, and he knew that a sudden appearance of Aurora had ruined his good deeds, but he just ordered a group of followers to go search and kill, and then An understatement like crushing a fly.

He also downplayed Huisha Town's failure in many banquets and salons, claiming that Kant the Aurora was just a clown with some courage, and even if he was full of hatred for the Empire, he was not at all a threat at all.

As a result, Valentine's Forbidden Spell was like a blast in his face.

During that time, the eldest prince closed the door to thank guests, and no one was seen.

The anger, panic, confusion and rage in the heart of the emperor's eldest son are indescribable. Who would have thought that a careless ant in Huisha Town could have such a vast power.

Compared with the hostility and revenge of the Aurora people, he was more afraid of his father's disappointment and dissatisfaction.

Because he not only failed to handle the Goethe mission, but even provoked such a powerful enemy to the empire.

At this point, he finally got a real sense of his perception of the Aurora people. In the past, it was only Kant who hated and hated Alex unilaterally, but the first prince didn't take that "Aurora Clown" to heart at all.

Now he finally knew what unforgettable hatred was.

Because he had to copy the odiously long "Valentine Declaration" carefully a thousand times, and also copy the previous comments on Kant ten thousand times.

Every Dongfang Yongye copy will fuel the raging anger in his heart.

Every letter under the pen will turn into a vicious curse.

What's more abhorrent is that the entire imperial capital, and even the children on the street, know about the punishment he suffered and his past folly. This kind of news must have been secretly spread by his dear brothers and sisters.

As soon as this matter came out, the crown prince's position, which had been firmly established, was unstable again. His grievances with the Aurora people became known to the world, causing the powerful ministers and nobles to shake their heads secretly. The younger brothers and sisters thought they had a chance, and they each started to make waves...

All of this was done by Kant.

Therefore, the eldest prince, Alex, is inseparable from the Aurora Kant.

There is nothing that makes him happier than Kant being deflated.

- The emperor looked at the hatred and pleasure in his eldest son's eyes and smiled secretly.

The eldest son's current embarrassing situation was caused by him.

Relying on the advantage of the eldest son, Alex has a good talent. Over the years, his methods have grown, and his government has become deeper. He even pretended to be the future crown prince. He began to cultivate power and win over his subordinates. All this gradually became gray on the temples. The emperor seems to have become more and more dazzling.

So taking advantage of this opportunity, he stretched out his hand and pushed it lightly, which destroyed a small half of the momentum that Alex had accumulated. The other ambitious children who were overwhelmed by the elder brother also thought they saw it. Given the opportunity, they began to double their favor and flatter him. Those reckless officials and nobles also realized that the authority and power of the old emperor were still shining, and they regained their respect for him.

The current situation is the best situation.

Of course, he would occasionally pull his eldest son who fell into the ditch, balance all sides, fight endlessly, and then all rely on and respect the supreme emperor, His Majesty, this is good.

"Alex."

He named the eldest son's name: "Tell me, what did you see from it."

The eldest prince was shocked, and then quickly stepped forward, bowed respectfully and meekly, with a sincere smile on his face, and the hatred and pleasure in his eyes had disappeared.

Now is the emperor's test, which must be answered from the perspective of the crown prince.

"Congratulations, father, God bless the empire." He chuckled, "My son sees weaknesses and opportunities."

"What weakness? What opportunity?"

"The weakness is Kant's own exposed weakness. His forbidden spell cannot control the power, and he is not as omnipotent as he imagined, because it is difficult to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy - this is a strategy to deal with him."

"What about the chance?" The emperor said blankly, "The chance to kill him?"

"No." Alex restrained all his ill feelings towards Kant and said respectfully, "Dividing the relationship between the Aurora and Goethe, and the opportunity to win over him."

He was answering questions, answering questions on the Crown Prince's exam paper.

"Oh?" The emperor showed a smile, "How do you say it?"

"The situation Kant is facing right now is really shooting himself in the foot."

The eldest prince smiled and said: "After the disappearance of the dragon mission, he almost broke with the Goethe court, and before and after the grain price war, he was in the same situation as the Goethe nobles. That is to say, the honeymoon period between the Aurora and Goethe has been announced. end, and what is to come, will exacerbate the conflict between the two sides.”

"Look at what he has done. He provoked the Broken Isles and wanted to regain the position of the trade center. As a result, he provoked such an ancient beast. Now that the beast wants to raze the Far Harbor, Kant is helpless, and forced action is banned. The curse will set off a tsunami and destroy all the cities and towns on the west coast of Goethe, so they have to ask the Empire for help - if the Goethe people know about this, what will they think? I don't think even Princess Tina will give it to Kant. Good face, not to mention other Goethes."

The eldest prince said softly: "And this is our opportunity - the power of the forbidden spell, the most important weapon of the country, how can it fall into the hands of Goethe? Only the father and emperor are worthy to take charge of this kind of power in the world."

The emperor smiled: "But Kant should hate you very much."

The eldest prince said sternly: "There will be no eternal hatred in this world. The son is willing to do everything possible in exchange for Kant's understanding. Besides, Kant and the elves have blood feuds of hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Isn't it eased for various reasons recently?" In the end, the grievance between my son and him is just a trivial matter in Huisha Town, for the interests of the father and the empire, I am willing to give everything."

Speaking of which, Alex made a generous statement with a selfless face.

- Of course, just to say it nicely, he knows that he will never suffer any hardships, even if Kant must kill him when he becomes insane, his father will stop him.

After all, in order to win over the Dragon of Aurora, he even executed the emperor's eldest son as an apology. This kind of reputation spread, how can a person like the father and emperor who wants to save face can bear it.

No effect on inheritance.

- Even if Kant claims that he absolutely disagrees with him becoming the crown prince, the father will not obey him, but will fight against him. After all, the opinion of the Dragon of Aurora can determine the ownership of the crown prince. This kind of reputation spreads, and the father wants to save face. Man, how can you bear it.

Besides, thinking about it carefully, he really doesn't have a deep hatred with Kant. He has a humiliating hatred for copying books. He admits it, and it's over. The little things in Huisha Town are not worth mentioning at all. Look, Kant is not dead. , Princess Tina didn't die, no one lost, what a big deal, and he was polite, sincere and humble, and apologized heavily, and he would definitely be forgiven.

Even getting the other party's support, that's even better.

The emperor nodded: "Well, after copying for so long, I really improved a bit."

The eldest prince showed an excited look: "Thank you for the praise!"

"But you have overlooked one point. It is not only the relationship between Kant and Goethe's office that needs to be separated. There is another thing that makes me feel particularly dazzling."

"This... Please make it clear to the emperor."

The emperor's voice increased a little: "Go on, the nails we planted in the Far Harbor, including the spies who were evacuated from the Broken Isles, began to spread the news."

"It's just that Kant is greedy, wants to plunder the wealth of the Broken Isles, wants to embezzle it, and inadvertently releases the ancient beast that was sealed in the Broken Isles. Now the beast is coming to the far port, and all this is It's Kant's fault, let everyone escape quickly, because Kant's forbidden spell will not only kill the giant beast, but the tsunami will destroy the entire Far Harbor..."

"The whole of Goethe's west coast must spread this message."

When the old emperor said this, he said indifferently: "Kant is so good to those pariahs, so good that I can't understand and make me uncomfortable, he should recognize the ugly nature of those pariahs, he has noble blood and powerful strength, he should be treated Where he should be, as a noble noble, stand with us."

The intelligence minister who was waiting here and the spy chief who was hiding in the dark bowed to give orders.

"Then, notify the newly appointed ambassador of Goethe, let him tell the news of the Broken Isles to the nobles of Danfeng Lucerne, and go to see the Grand Duke Goethe, inform them of the situation, and give the conditions of the empire."

"It's just that I can activate the Mirror of Glory, send out the Sunshine Imperial Army, and even order the royal guards to cast strategic-level joint spells. In short, the great Holy Empire will destroy incoming enemies for Goethe."

"But Goethe had to give something."

"I ask Goethe to formally join the Holy Empire in the form of a duchy, and to return to the imperial administration in terms of military and diplomacy. The next Grand Duke will be appointed by me. The second daughter of Reknos is going to marry my fifth son, so I will send someone. To propose a marriage, besides that, 60% of Goethe’s annual tax must be handed over to the empire, and every year to provide the empire with no less than 10,000 elite soldiers, all trade will give priority to the empire, and Kant found that underground in the unicorn horn. I want half of the things in the world."

Having said this, the emperor showed a smile.

"Then tell Reknos that if he is unwilling, he and his precious daughter will persuade Kant to agree to our conditions - as long as Kant nods, I will help Goethe for free."

His smile grew complacent.

"Give Colonel Henry Baker an instruction, ordering him to secretly propose new conditions to Kant, which must be kept secret and not be known to the elves and the envoys of the council."

"Tell him that I admire him very much and that I am willing to be friends with him. The empire will not only help him, but also provide him with all support, whether he wants to fight back to Aurora, build a career, or whatever he wants. , I can do my best to satisfy him - as long as he promises to be my son-in-law."

As soon as the words fell, the expressions of the two princesses who were qualified to stand in the study and listen to the emperor's admonitions changed.

The other princes squinted at the two sisters and almost laughed.

The emperor glanced at them calmly, and then said, "Tell him that I have many daughters, all of them beautiful, no worse than Princess Tina. He can choose whichever he likes, and he can have all of them."

"I only need his promise that he will love my daughter like Princess Adina, respect me like Reknos, protect my country like Goethe, and I promise that my country will Treat it with the same love, respect and advocacy, swearing in the name of the ancestors and the gods."

"Tell him that I am the lord of the empire, and I never trust others, but only a promise from the Dragon of Aurora is needed, and this agreement will be fulfilled."

"I will give him full support and adequate returns. It is not a lie, and I will never be stingy. After he agrees with my proposal, I will give him the title of Grand Duke and split a duchy from my empire. The land of the principality is more fertile than Goethe, and the climate is more pleasant. The population of the principality is larger than that of Goethe, and it must be more conscientious than the Goethes. My request is only one, that is, the children who inherit this principality must flow with my blood."

"And as a betrothal gift, I only need 20% of the things he found under the Kirin Corner, and I won't take it for nothing—of course, these are only secondary, as long as he agrees with my proposal, everything is negotiable."

Hearing this, the study was already silent.

The prince, the princess and the powerful ministers were silent, their eyes were lowered, and their chests were already rolling and stirring—it was the first time in their lives that they actually saw His Majesty the Emperor being so sincere.

"You must be wondering why I have never been so generous to you."

No one dared to speak.

Because as long as anyone says "don't dare" or "nothing", he is the one who is "strange that the emperor has never been so generous".

"I didn't play tricks, and I don't plan to go back on it. If there is a purpose, it is indeed there. I want to keep Kant's power, secrets and alchemy skills in the empire and strengthen our national strength."

"The reason why you don't get this kind of treatment..."

The emperor said lightly: "Because you are not worthy."

That's what it's like to be emperor - you can hang anyone you want.

After he was finished, he waved his hand and said, "Come on, you two, get ready, don't cry, I will tell you the truth, marrying Kant does not necessarily mean that you will miss the throne - it depends on your abilities."

As soon as the words fell, the two arrogant daughters of the empire raised their heads in disbelief, and the fear and anxiety in their eyes instantly turned into a fiery spark, burning blazingly.

In an instant, they understood what their father meant.

As long as Kant is turned into a real imperial man, so that he can be fully used by the empire and act in the interests of the empire, it means that his husband will be the best help in the race for the throne...

The two princesses looked at each other, the swords and swords in their eyes shining coldly.

And the princes who had almost laughed out loud and watched their sisters and sisters instantly fall out of the competition for the throne, also changed their faces in an instant, with suspicion, fear, calculation... All kinds of emotions appeared on their faces.

And the emperor looked at the appearance of all beings in front of him, this wonderful mime performance.

Very satisfied.

The Empire goes into action.

At the same time, Tulaxiaye, the Starry Court.

"You stupid [beep-]!"

"You are!"

"And said you're not! Now is the best time to show mercy to Kant and mend the relationship! We will meet that giant beast sooner or later! It's better to join forces with Kant and sell him a favor!"

"Do you **** want to lick Kant like that? Aurora is the enemy! The enemy! Don't you realize it? He and we cannot coexist peacefully! He insulted us, and we have to help him?"

"The situation is different! Now that giant beast will even threaten our commercial shipping!"

"Look at his refusal of us! He's even married to the Phoenix King! Let that giant beast smash his inheritance to smithereens!"

"You're **** afraid that Kant's alchemy weapons will squeeze your family business out of the market!"

"You **** even lick Kant's eggs for the sugar that Kant produces!"

"Fuck you! Watch the fist!"

"Fuck! Go to hell!"

Austrian law council, nothing happened.

Far Harbor Airport, temporary camp, in the tent, Kant opened the door of phase and returned.

He exhaled slowly.

"Father, your plan is a little crazy. I prefer to find a suitable solution in another world..." Horus' voice was disturbed, "It's too uncontrollable..."

Kant nodded and said: "I know, that is the last choice, but we still have to prepare..."

He sighed and said again: "Come on, let's think about the possibility of mass projection. That method is too risky, and the consequences of a rollover are too serious. I'm a little scared..."

At this moment, Long Niang's voice sounded outside: "Kant, are you back? Where have you just been? That female elf is looking for you... hum."

The tent door opened, and Long Niang stuck her head in, with a worried expression on her face: "Are you alright?"

Kant shook his head slightly.

Then, Derekla came in.

The queen entered the tent, put down her hood, and turned her head to stare at Lily who followed.

The elf and the dragon looked at each other for a long time, and Long Niang snorted: "For the sake of this..."

Then he turned and left, leaving only Delilah and Kant looking at each other.

The Phoenix King whispered: "Kant, let me tell you something, don't be angry..."

Looking at the other party's dodging eyes, Kant sighed softly: "You don't have to feel guilty, you have no obligation to help me. Besides, it is difficult for you to do it. After all, you have your own country's position and the constraints of the Silver Moon Council..."

"No, no, no, no..." Derrila's face flushed quickly, and she didn't turn her head away, "I, I figured out a way, and, and... In short, don't take it seriously, it's just fake!"

Kant said in amazement, "What?"

The queen whispered: "I have a way to persuade or even skip the parliament and directly send troops to intervene and deal with the giant beast, but I have to act, act..."

She snorted a few times, then scratched her head impatiently, her soft hair became messy: "Oh, forget it, I'll go tell Princess Tina."
