Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Chapter 86: poison

The banquet at Huisha Castle begins.

The sound of music sounded from the booth, and the orchestra actually played music during the banquet. The maids stood by, but there were very few guests at the banquet. Viscount Samuel sat on the main seat and raised a glass to greet the guests.

"It is an honor for the Goode family to come to Huisha, Your Royal Highness. We originally planned to hold a grand banquet and invite famous people from the Viscount to come to visit His Highness, but His Highness was exhausted all the way, and Your Excellency Kant is not used to the etiquette on the mainland. , so I made my own decision to reduce the number of people at the banquet, just to welcome the guests from Goethe within the Goode family."

He toasted Tina: "I hope you don't think we're being rude."

Tina smiled and said, "No, this is the best. You know, Uncle Samuel, I didn't like this kind of red tape since I was a child. It's better that Teddariel didn't like it."

"Yes Yes."

Viscount Samuel laughed and said: "Your family is like this, including Your Excellency the Grand Duke. We ran together when we were young. He... Haha, you can't talk about your father's scandal in front of your children, it's too rude."

Everyone laughed together.

It's fun.

Kant is not very happy.

Because the person sitting across from him was the Knight of Lost.

To be fair, Kant's seat was the most honorable guest after Tina, and in terms of etiquette, the Goode family's hospitality was impeccable.

But he felt that this was not accidental but intentional, and the Knights of Lost sat opposite him.

This guy kept looking at him.

What made Kant even more uncomfortable was the look in his eyes.

There is no personal emotion mixed in, there is no anger, no jealousy, no hostility, no disdain, nothing in this look.

Only scrutiny.

Examining without a trace of emotion, it is like looking down at the gods in the clouds, overlooking the mediocre lives, watching their joys and sorrows, and seeing everything about them.

This is how the Knights of Lost looked at Kant.

As if to see through everything about him.

That look... a little disgusting.

Especially for modern humans from Earth.

When the concept of equality is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, such eyes and attitudes will be despised and hated. Whoever looks at people with such eyes and such attitudes on the modern earth will not be able to escape from a sand sculpture's comment.

Kant couldn't stand it anyway.

Because of Hong San's reminder and Cleveland's warning, his perception of this Lost has dropped to a negative number, and he couldn't help but look at this fellow, Kant said coldly: "Have you always looked at people like this?"

The Lost knight spoke, his voice was calm and calm, without any fluctuations: "Aren't you used to it?"

Kant sneered at him.

Lost said calmly, "You will get used to it again."

Kant raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean?"

Lost sat up gracefully and said quietly: "I heard that compared to the division of the nobility of the empire, Aurora upholds a stronger monarchy and a more intimate relationship between monarchs and ministers. Especially appreciated by the eldest prince... Since Mr. Kant is from Aurora, he must live under strict rules of order from top to bottom, isn't he used to being watched like this by the superior?"

Kant looked directly at him: "I'm not used to being looked at like this by self-righteous scumbags."

Lost's expression remained unchanged, and he took a sip from the glass: "What a rudeness."

Kant said lightly: "Where did the mad dog come from."

It was strange to be stared at by this sand sculpture inexplicably, but this guy actually jumped his face in public at the banquet, it was really strange, Kant sneered, but his body was quietly tense.

Out of vigilance, even when attending a banquet, he carried an electric baton, anti-wolf spray, and a pistol for self-defense, as well as three bottles of boosting potions. This fellow's dog's life, so he didn't panic at all - Damn, who's afraid of who.

With the gun in hand and not panicking, Kant looked back at him without giving up.

"what…"

Knight Roster noticed his gaze, and a ripple appeared in his eyes: "Interesting..."

"Wait a moment!"

The quarrel between the two had just happened, and Tina had already seen it in her eyes. Seeing that Kant had spoken back, she suspended the idea of interfering, and waited until Kant's counterattack came to an end.

She looked at Knight Roster, her tone was calm but sharp: "Knight, Mr. Kant is my honored guest, regardless of your eyes, don't you think it's too arrogant for you to assume the superior position in front of him?"

The knight turned to look at the princess. Surprisingly, there was no admiration in his eyes, only respect. He nodded and said, "I'm sorry, it's just the princess, I'll be blunt, you are too kind and easy to trust others, of course. , for women, it's not a disadvantage."

"Lost!"

Viscount Samuel shouted: "I have already said that the matter of Knight Glenn has come to an end. If you continue to think of provoking Lord Kant for him, go back to the imperial capital for me now!"

Upon hearing this, Knight Roster bowed his head to his father and said, "Got it, father."

Seeing that the banquet was a little embarrassing, Lynch, who was sitting at the bottom, rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Father, Lord Kant mentioned an interesting thing to us today..."

It seems that Xiao Zhengtai is more favored in the family, not to mention Viscount Samuel, even the Knight of Lost turned his head to look at his younger brother with patient eyes.

Lynch talked about Kant's good deeds today, the little beggar named Liszt, and more people in need, as well as his cooperation plan.

He said: "If Lord Kant has a great plan and sufficient funds, can I do this with my sister?"

Viscount Samuel pondered for a moment, and just about to answer, he heard Lost say: "Lynch, you are still young, it is not surprising that you have such naive thoughts, but I have followed His Royal Highness the First Prince now, maybe you have to do it. Inheriting your father's title, as the future helm of the Goode family, you should not waste your extra kindness on those lowly and inferior people."

His tone was flat, as if he was saying something for granted.

"One day you will understand that leaving them alone is the greatest kindness. They died early, which is a relief for themselves and the world."

Lynch looked surprised and looked at Kant.

Kant said coldly: "Knight Roster, don't forget that the exquisite plates you use, the delicious food you eat, and the luxurious clothes you wear are all made by the inferior people you call them. Produced, without them, what would you eat and wear?"

Lost nodded and said: "You are right, without these inferior people to support and serve us, the world will become very troublesome, this is the reason for their existence, but this does not mean that I need to thank them, and it does not mean that I have to take care of them, don't I? Instead, they have to be grateful to me, and it's people like me who give them the chance to serve me and survive, isn't it?"

He seemed to disdain discussing this with Kant. The knight turned his head to look at Lynch and said, "You have to remember that untouchables are untouchables, they have no dignity, no honor, they don't understand faith, and they forget about their interests. They are like tools, okay. Use it if you use it, throw it away if it doesn’t work well, and kill it if you dare to resist, anyway, they are like weeds on the plains, if you cut one stubble, another stubble will pop up.”

"As long as there is land, you never have to worry about no one to plant."

Lynch's expression became more and more dazed and confused.

It seems that values have been impacted...

Kant sneered.

He was too lazy to argue with this so-called knight.

Because you can never wake up a person pretending to be asleep.

Sometimes, language is weak, only facts can convince people.

Knight Roster looked at Kant with a calm expression: "Mr. Kant, you seem to have some objections. I found that you, as an aristocrat of Aurora, have great sympathy and affection for the pariahs."

Kant said coldly: "So what? Can you manage it?"

At this moment, Viscount Samuel ended the conversation and used renju witty words to lead to another topic.

It's just that Kant's interest has been completely corrupted.

The reason why he didn't leave the table was because he was thinking of Tina's apologetic eyes. He didn't want to make it too difficult for the other party. In addition, the Knight Roster was no longer provocative, so Kant could barely sit still.

He didn't leave the banquet until the end of the banquet and returned to his room.

Lying on the soft bed, Kant stared at the ceiling in a daze, feeling very uncomfortable.

It feels out of place... I can't pee in the same pot with this so-called noble.

Oh shit.

Just then, there was a soft knock on the door.

who is it? Tina? Or Cleveland?

Kant rolled over and opened the door, and his honey-colored hair came into view.

It's Hannah.

The girl did not change out of the dress at the banquet. Her face was a little red, and she looked a little uneasy, and said softly, "Kang... Your Excellency Kant, I'm here..."

Kant guessed her intention: "...Apologizing?"

Hannah's face froze, and she was about to cry: "Yes...Yes, I'm really sorry, my brother, after a trip to the imperial capital, the whole person has changed...he was not like this before..."

Kant welcomed her in, and after the girl sat down, she kept apologizing to Kant: "Really, I really don't know what to say, my brother used to love us very much, but after he went to the imperial capital to be the eldest prince's squire, after coming back His temperament changed drastically, and he became indifferent. If he hadn't still loved us, I would suspect that some evil spirit had occupied his mind..."

She talked about how good her brother was in the past and how strange it is now. She even recalled things from when she was a child. When she came back to her senses, she had been talking about it for a long time.

"I'm really sorry!"

She apologized again: "In short, Lynch and I are very supportive of your ideas. We are born with rich clothes and good food, and we live a better life than them. If so, why not help them? They are also human beings. , did nothing wrong... So if you think of any way to help them, please tell me and Lynch, we will definitely help..."

As she apologized, she got up to leave, and Kant noticed a wine bottle in her hand.

"this is…"

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Hannah made a series of exclamations: "I almost forgot! This! This is my apology! I made it with my heart! The wine I brewed myself! It's delicious! Please taste it!"

She also seemed to be ashamed of her rashness, blushed, put down the wine, and apologized while stepping back: "please try it! If you don't like it, you can secretly pour it out. They all think the wine I brewed is a bit strange, But I really worked hard to do it, really…”

Like a frightened bunny, the girl scurried out of the room, stuck out a small head at the end, and whispered to Kant: "Your Excellency Kant, I have the same opinion as you, I also pity those commoners, sometimes I really feel sorry for them. I envy you, I can explain it to my father and elder brother in an upright manner."

After speaking, she trotted away.

The scent of the girl still lingers in the air.

Kant was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

Sure enough, a group cannot be judged by an arbitrary evaluation.

There are fools in the nobles, and there are more kind people.

He opened the bottle, smelled it, and the fragrant and pleasant scent wafted out, which was refreshing.

Just smelling it, the bottom of my tongue is suddenly filled with saliva, and I want to drink it.

Kant was just thinking about it, when suddenly a light flashed in his mind, and he hesitated.

Huisha Castle made him feel a little uncomfortable.

He is wary of everything in the other world.

When talking about that sister and brother today, Hong San hesitated.

Lynch said Hannah likes to concoct weird things.
