Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Chapter 848: emperor

The final situation evolved into a confrontation between the two.

in two worlds.

Kant refused to cross the gate of aspect to the emperor's palace, and the emperor refused to set foot in the unknown world.

Reasonable judgment... Neither of them wants to give the choice to the other.

After realizing this, the two men have the most basic judgments and impressions of each other's characters.

-damn thing.

-Old yin.

The two looked at each other and snorted in unison.

The emperor brushed aside the clods and mud on the table, looking at the messy ground, covered with all kinds of rotten grass and garbage, he turned his head and shouted, "Give me the chair!"

Just now, he and Kant enthusiastically exchanged the souvenirs of the two worlds, and when he was furious, he even threw the chair under his **** out.

Kant was seriously studying the chair that was thrown over by the emperor, looked left and right, and said, "You throw it to me, it's mine... Don't be noisy, I'm checking..."

"...Can the chair I use myself have mechanisms and traps?"

"That's hard to say."

After a while, the emperor had used the chair for many years under Kant's buttocks.

In terms of ergonomics, it is worse than the earth, and it is far superior in terms of available materials and functions... The functions such as temperature control, massaging the body, nourishing the spirit, and rejuvenating vitality achieved by magic means, I feel able to It's so refreshing to sit on it all day.

"I feel like I can sell it to a fat house, and let them sit in front of the computer for dozens of hours without feeling tired. The real fat house happy chair... No, no, the layout is small, the layout is small!"

Kant clapped his palms and shouted, "It should be sold to a commercial company! This is obviously a rolling chair for social animals!"

What a mess.

When the emperor listened to Kant's nonsense, he didn't feel bored. He only felt that although everything today was **** up, it was unprecedentedly novel. The young man in front of him alternated between annoying and interesting, but his attitude was so unrestrained and casual, he appeared in front of him today with no desire or desire.

So no flattery, no fear, no greed, no calculation.

There were no chairs in the emperor's room, and the emperor of the empire simply sat down on the table.

"Do you like it?" he said, "My position."

Kant crossed his legs and said with a smile: "It's very comfortable, not bad."

"There is something more comfortable." The emperor showed a smile, "Want to come to me?"

Hearing this, the Earthman squinted and said, "It's not like I don't understand at all."

"You doubt me?"

Of course, the emperor did not understand his stalk, and naturally misunderstood him, but he did not take it seriously, nodded and said: "It is right to doubt, if you agree with your mouth, I will be suspicious. But I want you to know, what the letter says , what I proposed earlier, all from the heart, I hope you can come to me."

Kant raised his eyebrows: "Sincerely? Why, do you think you can hold me down?"

"If it's just Kant who masters forbidden spells, phase ability, and alchemy skills, I might consider suppressing it, but..." the emperor said indifferently, "If you call someone from your family, I won't be able to suppress it."

Kant smiled slightly.

"After Valentine, the intelligence money I spent on you can rebuild a thousand Huisha towns, and all the information about you can fill a library, so I have some experience with you. I guess, you Your hometown is very different from the mortal world - the strange things you present to the mortal world, whether weapons, artifact, food or daily necessities, have an amazing quality..."

"The number is huge, the scale is terrifying, the standard is uniform, and it is precise and detailed."

"My people are innumerable, and the manpower of the empire is like a sea of mighty people. Just around the area around the imperial court, I can collect a lot of material resources. I have seen the tents where you temporarily resettled refugees, and I also sent people to steal two of them and deliver them to me. The imperial court looked at it carefully, and with that kind of quantity and scale, I could quickly levy a larger amount within three days with an order—it was just to let the women of the nearby villages and towns rush to sew overnight to provide raw materials and remuneration. With oversight and a knife edge, they can do it fast and well."

"But the women's needlework skills vary, and even if thousands of tents can be collected quickly, the quality varies...because people are different."

When the emperor said this, he said indifferently: "But the things you take out are different...Whether it's food or clothing, whether it's for sleeping or use, whether it's precious and scarce or large in number, they are almost the same - even if it's a clever woman. Ten garments sewn will not be exactly the same."

"It's machinery."

The Supreme Emperor of the Empire looked at Kant and affirmed in his tone: "In your hometown, you must be extremely skilled in using machinery, and you are good at using the power of fire. The material is extremely rich, the output is extremely abundant, and it has a high moral standard. The source of power of elemental energy."

"Your academic development must be delicate and cumbersome, just like the way of Austrian law is still in the fine chemistry department, you are probably ahead of us. You can make iron wings run across the sky, make steel ships float on the sea, and make This is the power of your knowledge when the cart without that horse is galloping."

"It can be made into both a deadly murder weapon and an object that is convenient for everyday life."

He casually pulled out a few pictures from the book on the desktop - it was an intelligence book about Kant, even in the throwing battle just now, the furious emperor subconsciously ignored this book.

The Supreme shows the hand drawing in his hand.

"What you did in Far Harbor."

"Paving roads, developing traffic, stabilizing prices, planning cities...lighting, communications, public opinion, entertainment, greening, municipal administration, management—the ever-changing Far Harbor is what you think a city should be like, and this can reflect a The face, temperament and strength of civilization."

The emperor's tone was calm: "It's like the pioneering knights sent by me to the frontier will immediately start building barracks, town halls, courts, hospitals, prisons and other regional buildings."

Kant changed his posture and moved his neck.

"After confirming the guess in my heart, for several days, I was trembling with fear, roaring in anger, panicking, gnashing my teeth, and even wanting to roar loudly."

"Where the **** did you come from? What is the purpose of your coming here? Will there be more people after you? What will they do to the mortal world? What will they think of me..."

When the emperor said this, he snorted, showing a self-deprecating color: "The indigenous countries of the southern archipelago, the chiefdom tribes of the eastern wilderness, the knights and armies who pioneered the frontiers of the countries conquered lands, defeated, imprisoned and even executed them. One by one, I take it for granted, and the entire civilized world will not think there is any problem with this... Until recently, I suddenly understood how they felt."

Kant whistled: "Don't worry, we are more civilized."

The emperor laughed and said, "If I were worried, I wouldn't be talking to you here today."

The Earthman said in surprise: "How do you say it?"

"After a long period of frustration and anxiety, I slowly calmed down and was able to think about more things... For example, you have been here for at least a year."

The emperor said slowly: "Established a deterrence, laid a territory, managed a city, trained an army, has undoubtedly laid the foundation, and also provoked a seemingly formidable enemy."

"But, only you... still only you."

The Supreme said solemnly: "There will be no more new faces, almost all of your subordinates have traces to follow, and they will not fall from the sky. You are training and recruiting local people, and handing them over to be more advanced step by step. The way of production, other than that, nothing else. Your administrative officials also operate according to the old system, all the details that can show the inherent temperament of the regime have not appeared, there are many strange places..."

"So, I have a bold inference."

He leaned forward and stared at Kant: "You came to this world, not a deliberate act of your hometown, but a personal accident. You are still keeping this a secret... Right."

Kant spread his hands and laughed a few times: "Go on."

"Do you want to monopolize the world, so you choose to keep it a secret? This is the most likely inference, but it's not like you. You have no desire for power, and you always think too much for the untouchables and behave very kindly, so, to The most probable reason for keeping your homeland a secret is probably that you don't want your hometown to be affected and implicated by some kind of disaster that is about to come in the mortal world—isn't that so?"

Kant shrugged noncommittally.

"Let's talk about your speculation, Kant, about your role in your homeland."

"The combat effectiveness you showed in Huisha Town is far from what it is now. Your will, strength, and weapons are far from what they are today. It is appalling that you have grown to this point within a year. This is the biggest doubt and problem that plagues the intelligence departments of various countries. The panic... I was also puzzled by this. Until the conjecture was completed, everything was explained."

"You can go back and forth between the mortal world and your hometown at will, so your weapons are getting stronger and stronger, and you have more and more supplies. I even suspect that at the beginning, you were probably a nobody in your hometown."

"Judging from your performance in Far Harbor, you should have no administrative experience as a local official, or even received systematic governance training, and your character is too kind. Obviously, you have not been tempered and taught by the cruel world. Worry-free, well-protected little guy, looking at your unbridled appearance, it should be a child who is still studying in school..."

When Kant heard this, he exclaimed: "Wait, your logic is wrong. Why do you think I'm not tempered by the world when you see me being kind? Why must the world on our side be cruel? Let me tell you, I There is a great abundance of materials there, everyone is equal, and it is a prosperous world without disputes, disputes and injuries!"

"Do you believe this kind of nonsense?"

The emperor sneered: "What are those efficient and powerful killing weapons made for? Coke alone has so many flavors. If there is no competition, it will be idle like this? Business is prosperous and military is developed, if the two appear at the same time , it means that there are two behemoths fighting openly and secretly, not daring to relax, in this confrontation situation, what do you say there are no disputes and disputes..."

"—Okay, okay, okay!" Kant shouted loudly, "It's okay, okay, you know more."

"I also don't know."

"what?"

The emperor's eyes were dark: "You didn't share this secret with your homeland... no, with your country, so how did you steal the top and powerful weapons here?"

Kant said suddenly: "What kind of bird talk is this? What is stealing? Can't I buy it?"

"It's said that you are a child with no administrative experience, and you don't understand anything."

The emperor shook his head and said: "Even if the mortal world develops for another thousand years, civilians will not have a strategic magic tool, and the war power has evolved to the level of your hometown, it is destined that the top military power will only be in the hands of great powers, so Plain and simple, you're still lying about it."

Kant snorted and pointed his **** to the emperor: "I would rather be a little clever ghost."

"Don't panic, calm down, it seems that you have reached some tacit consensus with your country, and have a deep interest in them, so you have great confidence in them - wait a minute."

The emperor frowned: "I can't see from you the slightest bit of caution and vigilance you have towards your own country... Where does this trust come from? What did they promise you?"

"It's something you can't see and think, you can't understand."

Kant shook his head and laughed: "Let's talk about the reality... Since you have already guessed a lot of things, I don't have to hide from you. After thoroughly confirming the information, what are your plans?"

"Frankly, after realizing that even if you suffered the worst defeat, you still have one last option to achieve complete revenge and comeback..."

The emperor showed a rare hint of weakness: "The mind against you is getting weaker and weaker."

Kant smiled: "No wonder you are so generous."

"It's not entirely because of this." The emperor sighed, "You are much stronger than my sons and daughters."

"It's not necessarily." Kant spread his hands and said, "After all, you seem to see that there is no alchemy skill that is invincible in the world. It's just to transfer the results of a civilization here."

The emperor looked at him with a smile: "Is space ability too?"

Kant shrugged.

"If I want to send things thousands of miles away, I can send a convoy to carry it, or I can send a fleet to go on a long voyage, and I can even hire dragons to transport it. There are huge steel ships in the far port, and there are also some that can move forward without animal power. Vehicles, and huge aircraft flying in the sky... Those wings, wheels and hulls mean that even you have to follow the most basic principles of the world."

The emperor shrugged like Kant: "But compared to your unreasonable phase transmission ability, those designs are so superfluous... This should be your personal ability."

Kant said: "Then..."

"You've done a good job, and that's why I'm willing to make that proposal."

The emperor interrupted him and said: "For more than a year, what you have done, I have seen cruelty, I have also seen kindness, I have seen decisiveness, and I have seen compassion. Look at the people outside my palace. , do not do evil because there is no power to do evil, call for good because good can protect him, talk about forgiveness because it does not hurt his own interests... and you are not like them."

"The more I get to know you, the more I think you're amazing."

"Giving a thousand gold coins to an honest and honest poor man can make him a rotten person in a few months, and you hold the most powerful force in the world, and you still look like you when you are left alone. As before, even taking the initiative to protect people who have nothing to do with you, to provoke enemies who seem to be troublesome... The more I look at you, the more I feel that my children are something."

"So..." He took a deep breath and said sternly, "Be my son-in-law."

When he said this, he hesitated for a while, showing a tangled look, and finally compromised: "...If you feel awkward, I will allow you to call me by my name, and I will not put on airs to you, even if you marry my daughter, We can still chat and talk like we do today."

After thinking about it, the emperor added: "It's quite interesting. I have thousands of kowtow bugs who bow their heads to me, but there are none like you."

Without blinking his eyes, he looked at Kant earnestly, hoping for an answer he wanted.

Kant was silent for a moment, then smiled: "I just never imagined that you could actually do this."

"...The hostility and misfortune with you is a trick of fate, and I really want to rewrite it all."

"Do you want me to be the next emperor?"

"I will die one day, whoever inherits will inherit."

"Won't you prevent me from usurping power before you die?"

"I'll be on guard against everyone, but I don't seem to need to guard against you slacker."

"Are you willing to hand over the throne to an outsider like me?"

"Marry my daughter and give birth to a son who is the heir to the empire, there is no difference."

"You're not good at biology."

"Um?"

"I mean, why bother with this?"

"From a utilitarian point of view..." The emperor's eyes were burning, "I am uneasy that your hometown is so powerful. In the future, they may eventually come, and there may not even be an empire at that time. In order not to encounter this situation in my lifetime. , the best choice is to make you one of our members."

Kant was silent for a long time and slowly shook his head.

The emperor cried out in disappointment: "...Ah."

"The enemy is called Star Palace. They are high in the sky. When the mortal world develops to a certain extent, they will execute extinction, destroy all traces of civilization, and let the mortal world start from scratch."

Kant took a few steps forward and said to the emperor: "This is the biggest crisis and the most important thing at present. It requires all the forces of the world to unite. Your Majesty, I appreciate your frankness and favor, but..."

The emperor said coldly: "If you marry my daughter, I will treat you as your successor, and I will cooperate with you without any hesitation, so that the power of the empire can be driven by you and fight against that star palace together."

Without waiting for Kant to speak, the Supreme said: "This is a necessary link, otherwise the imperial people will not be able to trust and accept you. You will not understand this truth."

The fire thief did not speak, his eyes changed and he pondered.

"For you, this doesn't seem to be an easy decision to make." The emperor said lightly, "I won't force you, you can go back and think about it."

Kant looked up at him and nodded slowly.

The door of the phase was closed, and the emperor stood in the study, his eyes narrowed.

He looked at the cell phone and radio on the table and smiled coldly.

I said it before.

What you do in Far Harbor is what you think a city should look like.

This can show the face, temperament and strength of a civilization.

Pave roads, develop traffic, stabilize prices, and plan cities.

Lighting, communication, public opinion, entertainment, greening, municipal.

as well as…

Kill all nobles.
