Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

The so-called meeting is actually just a notification.

The captain is the highest officer of the Penguin, and Tina is the representative of the Teldaril family. If these two people unanimously decide something, then it is a task that the entire ship must complete.

Besides, others have no objection.

Then, things are settled.

Before sailing to the imperial capital, supplies and rest should be carried out in the Viscounty of Huisha.

After the meeting, the officers left, leaving only Kant and Tina in the conference room.

Tina looked at him: "Kant, do you have any ideas?"

Kant shrugged: "What can I think?"

He didn't know anything about the situation on the mainland. This voyage was just a downwind boat. How to sail, the details of the route, and even the destination were all decided by the Goethes.

Even if he wanted to express his opinion, he couldn't do it, after all, he basically didn't know anything.

But if you really want to say what you think...

Kant looked at Tina and said seriously: "Can the so-called Goode family be trusted?"

It is said that Tina's family has a good personal relationship with the other family, and this viscounty also has trade relations with Goethe, but that is only a friendship with Goethe, and Kant's knowledge of this family is zero.

He didn't know what kind of people the other party was.

Like hesitant, defensive and nervous when he first spotted the Goethes on the island.

Now a Goode family has emerged... He instinctively developed a defensive heart.

When Tina heard the words, she was surprised and puzzled: "...Ah? What do you mean?"

Kant frowned: "I mean, will they..."

The princess tilted her head: "What will happen?"

"…"

Yes, what will happen?

Kant also didn't know what the other party would do.

He snorted for a moment and said, "It's to stop you or something... You are going to the imperial capital to lobby for assistance this time, will anyone want to stop you..."

Tina shook her head and laughed: "Kant, you don't understand, the Teldaril family and the Goode family have a long-standing friendly relationship and friendship... Let's not talk about this for the time being, but I bet that the Goode family is the most hopeful for the Empire to help the Goethe war. Yes, almost none..."

"Because, the Elf Fleet has blocked the Goethe waters, and almost all shipping routes have been suspended, and the trade between the Goode family and Goethe has also been interrupted. This will affect the planting business of the entire Viscount Huisha, and the economic loss will be huge. Great, so, does Kant understand?"

The girl stretched out her hand, her thumb and index finger formed a circle, and made a cute gesture in front of her eyes: "Gold coins, for the sake of golden coins, they are also our most reliable allies."

Kant nodded.

I see.

"Also, Kant is worried that we will be obstructed by the imperial capital. After all, politics is an act of interest, and Goethe's defeat or even destruction is in the interests of some imperial capital factions, so they will do everything they can to obstruct this time. Lobbying."

Tina smiled and said, "For this, I am also prepared. This time I decided to rest and replenish supplies in the Viscounty Huisha. There are also considerations in this regard. As for what I want to do... Can Kant guess?"

Kant said: "The thing about the Sacred Seal Island and the Veil?"

Tina was surprised: "How do you know?"

Kant just smiled.

Basic operation, sit down.

The trick of public opinion is left to the earthlings.

Speaking of her plan, Tina was a little proud, and even couldn't wait to share it with Kant. After all, she didn't explain it in the meeting just now for confidentiality reasons.

"I've already thought about it before. The crimson scroll we obtained from the Sacred Seal Island is very important. It is not only related to the life-and-death event of the curtain rift, but also related to the most recent glory of the gods. When this news spread throughout the continent, All races should deal with it seriously, in the face of this threat, any act of war will be criticized by mainstream public opinion..."

She said sternly: "And this is Goethe's opportunity. Because it is the morality of the whole world to let go of differences and jointly confront the crisis. After the news of the reappearance of the curtain crack is released, it is unethical. With this With absolutely correct morality as an excuse, the anti-war factions of the Evening Moon Dynasty will gain a strong reason for peace, and on the Empire side, our allies will speed up the aid proposal..."

"Even other forces on the continent that are afraid of the Dusk Moon Dynasty will unite to use this as an excuse to put pressure on the elves to curb the expansion intentions of the elves..."

"That's my plan."

Kant understood Tina's thoughts.

and understood it very smoothly.

That's the benefit of being in the information age...at least the comprehension isn't bad.

He nodded and said, "So, you chose to stop at the Viscount Huisha because you wanted to spread the news of the Veil invasion through the mouth of Viscount Goode before arriving in the imperial capital?"

"Yes, it's called building momentum."

Tina replied: "Let's spread the news first, and make it fermented and discussed. Then, when we arrive at the imperial capital, the identity of the entire Goethe mission will change."

"We'll go from 'lobbies seeking aid for the country' to 'Gethes who have found signs of the Veil's invasion,' and we'll be...heroes bringing back the news of the world's survival to the mainland."

"With this halo around us, those who oppose and hostile us will not dare to act rashly, and we will get more attention ... that means protection and safety," she said.

can justify it.

At least Kant couldn't fault it.

After all, he didn't know anything about the political situation and ideology of the entire continent. He could only listen to Tina's words and couldn't find any logical errors.

And, he was concerned with another issue.

"That is to say..." Kant's expression was a little subtle, "How many days do we have to go to that viscounty?"

Tina nodded and said, "Yes, after all, it takes a certain amount of time and planning to release news and guide public opinion. I want to discuss the process and key points with Uncle Samuel."

Kant looked embarrassed.

He also thought that the so-called supply and rest was to stop at the pier to buy supplies, sailors could go to the pub to drink some horse urine, and then find some cheap chicken to have a good time, the officers went to the high-end restaurant to chat and laugh, and then find some The more expensive chicken is refreshing, and then the rest is over.

Hearing the rest plan earlier, he also made a decision to stay in his cabin and not come out. Drawing CAD and playing games or something.

As for experiencing the customs and customs of the other world, we will talk about it after the imperial capital. After all, it is the capital of a country. After all, it is the most prosperous and affluent city on the mainland. To experience life in another world, it is better to start there.

But... going to that viscounty?

The first thought that came to mind was, don't go.

I want to stay on the boat.

Everyone here is talented, and they speak nicely. I really like being on the boat.

So he said, "Then you go, I'll be on the boat."

Tina looked surprised and asked, "Why?"

Kant shook his head and said, "Nothing."

I just simply don't want to see outsiders.

At this moment, Tina suddenly stretched out her hand and placed it on his.

Kant was startled, raised his head and looked at the girl's beautiful blue eyes.

Tina said seriously: "Kant, you questioned whether the Goode family was trustworthy before, but now you don't want to see them... Can I ask why?"

Kant avoided her eyes.

—Maybe because I have persecution paranoia.

Being on a deserted island, there is no psychiatrist, but Kant himself found that there may be some degree of problem with his own spirit... He knew in his heart.

But couldn't tell what was going on.

Including his current thoughts, his unease and resistance to dealing with strangers.

He sighed, "I don't know either."

"I know."

The girl said so.

"I can probably understand how Kant feels."

She said softly: "When I was young, I was very introverted, I liked to read books, and I didn't like to deal with others, because I saw some things with my own eyes and heard some things with my own ears when I was a child, so I felt that the world was very dangerous, including the people who appeared in front of me. A lot of people, I think they are different from the outside, they have a dark mind that is different from the surface, I am worried that they have ulterior motives... So, I don't like to deal with outsiders."

"My parents and my brothers and sisters want to take me out to play. I don't want to. They want me to attend some banquets. I don't dare either. I'm afraid that there will be bad people outside. I'm afraid that the people I meet will suddenly turn into a monster. Me, I'm afraid the person in front of me is a serial murderer...a ridiculous mind, isn't it?"

Talking about her childhood, a soft look flashed in her eyes, and she smiled warmly: "But I have come out after all, some things, cranky thinking will only add to the troubles, you will find out only after you really take that step. The world is different from what you think...actually, it's not that bad."

She took Kant's hand and looked into his eyes.

"Kant, don't worry, although the mainland is an unfamiliar world to you, you don't have to look at everything with a precautionary eye, even though nobility is not necessarily synonymous with nobility, there are insidious scum, and there are evil degenerates, But there are also many nobles who stand up with honor and integrity, and are committed to being an honest and righteous person... And who is good and who is bad, you can use your own eyes to slowly discern."

She blinked: "Like, do you think I'm bad?"

Kant shook his head and said, "...Of course not, you are a kind and beautiful girl."

"So, I'm not the only good person in the world, right? It just happened to be met by you."

Tina shook his hand and said with a smile, "Come on, come with me. I can guarantee that there is another kind and beautiful girl in the Goode family. I can introduce you to him."

"…"

Kant looked a little reluctant.

Tina pouted: "Do you still want to say that I, the Goode family also has an excellent knight that is not inferior to Cleveland, will you be tempted?"

"Huh?" Kant wondered. "What do you mean? What does this have to do with me?"

...for some reason, after hearing this, Tina was even more subtly unhappy.

"Anyway, let's come together."

She cleaned up her messy mood, and then said softly, "Kant, you have to start a new life on the mainland after all. You can't keep resisting like this, why don't you try to take the first step?"

"Like I said, cranky thinking doesn't help solve the problem, and only when you really go out will you discover the beauty of this world, isn't it?"

Kant was silent for a long time, then nodded slowly.

A new life...?

A gleam of pain flashed in his eyes, and then he sighed silently.

Maybe, it really is.

Tina whispered, "Everything will be fine... I promise."

Two days later, there were cheers of sailors on deck, and land was already visible on the lookout.

Kant stood on the bow and looked out.

Seagulls flew over, the sky was blue, the sea breeze was blowing, and there was a small port in front of him. He could see the buildings lined up, and the ships moored in the port, with their sails up and down, people coming and going, prosperous and busy.

This is the breath of civilization.

Wooden piers, wooden houses, wooden boats, exotic customs, exotic clothing, and exotic people—to see such a scene on earth, you have to go back in time at least two or three hundred years.

Only at this moment did Kant really feel something.

He is about to go into another world.

The boatswain's shout sounded on the deck, and the sailors climbed the mast and began to lower the sails. They maneuvered the ship nimbly, controlling the direction and speed, so that the ship slowly entered the dock.

Kant stood on the bow, looking at the slowly approaching pier.

Many people from other worlds... tend to look like Westerners, and they are slightly different.

He saw a well-dressed man on the pier shouting loudly and gesturing at the same time. He should be a guide or something. At the same time, some people dressed as sailors were sitting on the glove box of the pier. , was looking at the ship with interest, and there were seven or eight people gathered in the aisle, holding wooden signs in their hands, and were looking at the ship with their necks stretched, probably coming to welcome passengers.

Kant saw them and they saw Kant.

The eyes of the two sides met, and the other party saw Kant's oriental appearance, and his face showed surprise. Then, their eyes focused on Kant's hair and face, and then began to look at Kant's clothes, and for a short moment , they observed the necessary information from these details.

The hair is soft, the beard is perfectly cleaned, the face and neck are clean, the clothes are new, the styles are rare, the materials are even rarer—on a warship that has been on a long voyage.

They immediately showed respectful expressions, bowed their heads deeply, and dared not look at Kant.

Kant didn't know the survival skills of these dockers.

But I couldn't help but feel a little cool in my heart.

It's hard, hard, on Earth to see someone make that look to you...

Ship docked.

The guide raised his head and waited for the contact. The first mate walked across the deck, saluted Kant first, and then said a few words to the guide. The other person's expression changed slightly, he gave a deep salute, and then turned his head and ran towards the port office.

"This port belongs to the Goode family. I asked him to contact the person in charge of the port. The Goode family must be notified first... These people are not eligible to receive an audience with Her Royal Highness, so I can do it."

Taking advantage of this gap, the first officer said to Kant with a smile.

Kant nodded.

Soon, chickens and dogs jumped on the pier. Several guards began to clean up the sailors here. A middle-aged man dressed neatly and neatly came in a hurry. The sailor put on the springboard. With a serious look, he nodded again and again. As for what he was talking about, Kant was far away and did not hear it.

But he knew the first mate had mentioned him.

The middle-aged man nodded again, looked up at Kant, then bent down and raised his hand, showing him a friendly and respectful smile with a pleasing and impeccable etiquette.

Kant nodded in return.

But he found that the other party looked at him with surprise, but not surprised.

There is a fundamental difference from the eyes of the few people on the dock just now.

Kant froze in his heart.

An idea suddenly popped into his mind.

—There are people from Aurora in this Huisha Viscounty!
