Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Chapter 892: Griffin's death, the end of an era

When Kant returned to the mortal world and reappeared on the Astolfo, the army finally burst into cheers and paid the highest respect to the invincible leader.

There was joy and relief in their shouts and shouts.

Because the Kant government did return to them completely and safely.

After a short but arduous struggle, the strong men of the various countries had lingering fears. After they adjusted their breath and took medicine, they heard the cheers and looked at each other, and they all understood each other's thoughts.

Just now, Kant disappeared with the God of Star Palace, who was about to explode, and a moment later, there was a commotion in the Far Harbor Legion. The breath of unease and anxiety spread faster than light, and the soldiers in charge of violence were surrounded by silent but terrifying emotions. They kept asking and even questioning officers at all levels.

Ask where Kant is in power.

There were even signs of mania in the Guards who were in charge of guarding Kant.

Even if Horus and Astolfo, the two marshals whose command was only under Kant, appeared at the same time to appease the army, it still did not completely eliminate the worries and anxieties of the soldiers.

Until Kant returned, everything melted like ice and snow in the sun.

All the unease and worry turned into cheers that shook the heavens and the earth, and shook the heartstrings of the strong men of the countries - they knew that Kant's prestige in this army had reached an unimaginable level, if he just had What happened, all the council soldiers on the battlefield could not survive.

It's a really disturbing sign.

What disturbs these powerhouses even more is...

They even kind of wanted to cheer after seeing Kant reappear.

...just a little bit.

But soon, these powerhouses from various countries and forces, even if they had a monarch who swore allegiance, even if they had the dignity and pride of being a powerhouse, had to pretend to cheer a few times.

— Don’t get me wrong, this is not about Kant’s authority and intimidation of minions.

It was mainly infected by the cheering atmosphere of the army at the scene. The moment she saw Kant returning, the Elf Queen Dereira raised her arms and gave out a sincere cheer.

None of the elf sword saints and the white tower kings who were present were qualified to persuade His Majesty to be decent.

Not only that, these sharp-eared barbarians... Living in the eyes of others, they have super high self-esteem.

In order to avoid the slander of the onlookers, "What are you elves shouting along with others, even the queen is shouting together, you can't learn it", so the elves decided to let the onlookers voluntarily join the cheering ranks.

So the Sword Saints and the Dharma Kings, who represented the peak of the power of the mortal races, cheered and walked back and forth, with a cold and pitiful light in their eyes, with a look of "Let me see who is not loyal."

The powerhouse being looked at will be sensed by other elves if they stare back, and a group of pointed ears will show the expression "Why don't you cheer for the victory of the mortal world, do you have sympathy for the star palace?" After all, these arrogant and arrogant powerhouses were defeated.

With the feeling of "even if the elves shouted, I won't lose the price if I shouted a few words", and they dealt with them randomly.

- Of course, the elves' patrol team bypassed the dragon clan nonchalantly.

But the problem is that the dragons shouted themselves.

The Dragon Emperor raised his arms and clapped vigorously, while laughing and shouting: "Good brother, you are awesome!"

In addition to applauding, he tilted his head and said, "Damn, what are you doing, without spending money, you can still sell it well."

The dragons woke up and happily followed.

Because...it's really cool.

The strength of Aurora Kant has always been a mystery. Everyone admits his power of forbidden spells and alchemy skills, but his personal combat power is foggy. The public opinion believes that Kant has obvious shortcomings in personal combat power, at least far from the Forbidden Magic, space ability and alchemy, and it is not commensurate.

If this is the case, then he is still undeterred in the face of the God of the Burning Star Palace, confronting dignifiedly. , even if it is as powerful as a dragon, it has to be a slap in the face.

As soon as he appeared, facing the tsunami-like cry of the mountain, Kant was slightly startled.

He is human, and he also has emotions and desires, and a sense of accomplishment and vanity emerge instinctively.

The parrot asked from the side: "Are you on your waist for a while?"

Kant immediately strangled this sign of pride... Outsiders don't know, but he knows that such a victory, of course, is nothing at all, and it is not worthy of pride.

He raised his right hand and pressed down.

"Quiet-"

The army is forbidden, and the silent wave is quietly rushing into the distance.

"What are you shouting? Have you won the battle? Each has his own responsibilities!"

Kant's ruling made the soldiers immediately awe-inspiring, restrained their emotions, and waited for orders.

But the next moment...

"—Come on when you win!"

The tense battlefield atmosphere was mixed with some liveliness, which aroused the emotions of the soldiers after the hard battle.

The military is in the palm of your hand.

Kant and the parrot rose in the air and flew towards the designated target.

Beside the psychic organ, Griffin's body suddenly trembled, his hazy eyes became clear, and then he flinched and feared.

Carius, who had been guarding him, looked at him coldly, and the words reached his lips, but he did not say them.

"I heard cheers."

Griffin muttered to himself and looked at his former traveler again: "...Kalios, sorry, although this apology is so ironic and meaningless, there is nothing else I can do."

In this victory against the Star Palace, the Austrian Council should also stand on the side of the empire, the dragons and the elves, sharing the glory of facing the starry sky, but Kalius is standing here, guarding the previous generation of rebellion, the Austrian Council. The stains and humiliation suffered by the club, I don't know how much fearless blood is needed to wash away.

"...Stop talking."

Kalios clenched his fists and put them down, but in the end he still couldn't bear the rage and resentment.

Even if the other party is already a dying old man.

"You make me sick," he said fiercely.

Griffin closed his eyes bitterly: "I still have to say, Kalios, the next road is far more difficult than you think, because I have seen Kant's road clearly. You have to deal with the next one seriously. Challenge, don't go my old way again... Be patient, forbear, compromise, and even accept."

"…To shut up!"

Kalios shouted violently, and the thunderball roared: "I don't need to betray the country, followers and soldiers, and the tyrant who made this glorious and holy country filthy and divided teach me to do things!"

"Griffin! Look what you've done to this country!"

"We are the greatest country in the world, guiding the path of arcane law, the cradle of spellcasters all over the world, the guardians and defenders of the mortal world! For hundreds of years, due to the fight against extraterritorial life, different-dimensional creatures, ancient evil How many spellcasters have been sacrificed by the tribe and fallen mages! They used their blood and sacrifice to forge the honor and prestige of the Arcane Council for hundreds of years, and you only spent a few months to destroy it all!"

His teeth were rattling, and he resisted not killing Griffin. Even if it was only a few dozen minutes, he had almost exhausted all his patience and reason.

Griffin, who was trapped in the thunder cage, curled up, lowered his head, and covered his face.

He trembled and stopped talking.

At this moment, the wind from above blew whistling, and the Arcane Chaser guarding the exit immediately said: "The temporary grand speaker, Your Excellency Kant, the ruler of the Far Harbor, has arrived!"

Kant and Marekise fell one after the other.

The arcane hunters guarding here all watched, and Kalios also looked back. Griffin, who was silent in the thunder cage, almost suddenly raised his head, looking at the coming judge with complicated eyes.

Callius said calmly: "This is Griffin."

Kant approached the Supreme Mage, who was described as being in a state of embarrassment, sitting on the ground, and having lost all dignity and grace.

He nodded to Karius, and the Interim Grand Chancellor withdrew the Thunder Cage.

"I'm Kant, time is urgent, I'll make a long story short."

Kant squatted down and looked into Griffin's eyes.

"Your injury wasn't caused by Kalius and the others, it must have been done by Phoeson. I don't know what happened between you, and now is not the time to care about it. Phaethon is dead, but tens of thousands The council soldiers are still under control of their minds and are going to die madly, enough blood has been shed today, since you asked Kalios to tell those words, now is the time for you to rectify some mistakes as much as possible."

He pointed to the psychic organ next to him: "Go, let them go home alive, and we'll talk about you after we're done."

Griffin just watched Kant silently, he kept watching.

Seeing that he only brought one guard, instead of bringing the Dragon King and Phoenix King and even the powerhouses of various countries to this place.

Seeing him come to him, he squatted down naturally.

He can be sure that this is not a special treatment and care for himself, but something that is done without thinking and relying on instinct. Even if the person sitting here is just an ordinary prisoner, as long as he wants to communicate with him, he will squat down subconsciously. Come, not condescending reprimands and instructions.

Ah, what a...weird person.

Griffin laughed.

Then he shook his head.

"It's too late," said the former Grand Speaker, "I am already fragmented, my mana has been lost, and my spiritual power has also been slackened. Manipulating the mind mechanism and rewriting the mechanism is unbearable with my current physical condition."

When Karius heard the words, his face changed suddenly, and his mentality almost burst.

He growled hideously: "Griffin! You fucking—"

Kant raised his hand to signal him to stay calm, and said calmly: "Since you knew it was too late, you didn't cut it yourself, but saw me with a sigh of relief... I believe you shouldn't just want to make a mockery and endure it. Unbearable humiliation and untimely death—what are your plans?"

Griffin looked at Kalios, then at Kant, and laughed: "As expected of a fire thief."

Kant knew what he was talking about: "I just plan for the worst in everything. When the worst happens, I won't panic, but calm down. This is just life experience. Me, just because the worst day he's had was not bad enough."

Griffin changed the subject.

"In the Elantair incident, you publicly executed a **** of the star palace, and it was not kept secret. I learned about the situation at that time in detail, and found that a similar situation also appeared in the Songyue battlefield."

"I still don't know what a fire thief is, and I don't know what kind of power you have to make the gods of the star palace fear and fear, but it is obvious that Phaethon was very afraid of being killed by you. They have lived countless epochs. , the power is so powerful, but the starlight will still be extinguished by the short-lived fire thieves..."

"I guess, your power must be very special."

Kant's expression moved slightly.

Griffin took a breath and continued: "I already have a bold inference, so I live until you appear in front of me... Although there is nothing I can do, the situation may not be irreversible. This is the only remnant, contact The methods of the psychic organs, the secrets of the star palace, and everything else I have left are here."

The fire thief said slowly: "What if your inference is wrong?"

The former Speaker smiled bitterly: "Then I will try my best to live and bear everything I should bear, until the dead souls who died in the dark relieve their grievances and think it is enough."

Kant was silent for a moment, lowered his head to think for a moment, then raised his head and nodded again.

"You guessed right, it looks like you're ready."

Griffin froze for a moment, then slowly smiled.

"Yes," he said. "Being able to die like this is the greatest gift and tolerance that fate has given me."

Kant said to him: "Although a person dies, the lamp will not go out, and the debt will not disappear. You should understand."

"Yes."

"Any last words?"

Griffin looked at Kant, his eyes were shining, his tone was strange, as if to avoid the topic, but he still said it, it was very difficult.

"You have to count."

"what?"

"In the previous letter, you said that my subordinates, relatives and students were bought by you from Kalios, and you said that you wanted to persuade them to do their best to fight against the star palace, and I also wrote a handwritten letter to you, you received."

The former speaker trembled: "You have to count what you say."

Kant thought for a while, then said: "They will never appear in the mortal world from now on, unless the final battle comes. I will show them this conversation with you, willing to serve me, fight against the star palace, and wash your belt. Those who come to shame can survive. In the future, if they win the war against the Star Palace, if they make merit, they can return to the mortal world, or choose the life they want, and they are up to them.”

Griffin sighed, "Enough...thank you."

"You really should thank me. It's spread out, and some people should blame me for not being trustworthy."

Kant paused for a moment, then said warmly: "I'm about to start, recall the beautiful things in life, and recall the way to release the mind control, don't resist."

There was a bright light in his eyes.

Griffin hurriedly shouted, "Wait a minute!"

The light went out, and Kant watched him patiently.

The former Grand Speaker glanced at the tattered, blood-stained underground bunker, and suddenly smiled.

"I am Griffin-Williams, the Supreme Mage, the watcher of the mortal arcane law, the former ruler and guide of the council..." he shouted, "how can I die in this dark and narrow cave!"

Kant frowned slightly.

Facing the eyes of the fire thieves, the speaker said calmly: "I died here. If you go out and say that I have been killed by you, many people will not believe it. In private, they will think that you secretly spared my life."

Kant was silent for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, you have a seed. In the future, you will make a final decision, and the history books will be written truthfully. Your past, your struggles, your achievements, your achievements, and your betrayal, your sins. , and your last choice."

Griffin was startled, staring at Kant's face, speechless for a moment.

Then he said slowly: "Forget it, let me die like this. You will be pulled out of the dark and damp shabby room and executed righteously."

"why?"

"Ha...why!?"

Griffin, who had clearly regarded death as his home, suddenly rose to the last blood and straightened his back.

"If it is recorded truthfully, it is recorded that I finally broke with the star palace and waited for you to come with my last breath... but it seems that I have repented and regretted and compensated for my death, and seemed guilty!"

Griffin's eyes widened, and he said sternly: "I have divided the country, and the hundreds of years of **** sacrifices of the forerunners have been stained with filth. I have colluded with the star palace, and I have let innocent soldiers die for my conspiracy and selfish desires. I am guilty. In Unforgiveness, it’s natural to bear any punishment, I admit it all!”

"But that doesn't mean I repent of everything I've done!"

He stared at Kant fiercely, baring his teeth like a beast before he died.

"The Starry Court system established by the first generation of the Great Speaker has deteriorated in the course of hundreds of years of the country. The position of parliamentarian is controlled by the clan consortium. The issuance of decrees is not based on national interests but group interests, so rational and correct decisions cannot be made. ...I'm going to completely overthrow and start over by means of thunder, is it wrong!"

"The people of Aurora who do not obey the mortal rules, but possess the magical power of the forbidden curse, are entrenched in the Far Harbor and let them develop freely. They will continue to erode the existing interests and sphere of influence of the Council. I have failed to negotiate peacefully with them, so I have to It’s better to strike first, and suppress him before he has fully grown up, isn’t it right!”

"I will never admit it! I will never regret it! Killing those worms is the most correct thing I have ever done! With them, how can we revive the council and resist foreign enemies!"

"Kant! I just misjudged the threat of the star palace to get to where I am today! If there is no such thing as destroying the world, if you are not a fire thief, then you will beat Tulaxiaye and make me become the next one. Prisoner, I will never bow to you and admit defeat, and I will never yield to you!"

His mouth was flying, his life shone in the afterglow, and he vented his last anger and anger.

Kalios was stunned, but Kant just looked at Griffin.

The spiritual power of the fire thief is shrouded like a vine, entangled upward, extracting the soil, the soil layer above the head of the underground space, under the different power of the fire stealing, constantly disappears, until it leads to the surface, a vertical road runs through.

The dark, damp dark room cast a beam of light.

Griffin, who was drooling and gushing, closed his mouth.

He felt the light that terrified him, raised his head subconsciously, the top of his head was bright and picturesque, he turned his head low, that beam of light was scattered on the body of the fire thief squatting in front of him.

He saw Kant stand up, carrying that beam of light, like a mountain.

His gaze rose as Kant got up, until the other party was shrouded in the halo of this passage, casting the shadow of death, and his face was hidden in the shadow, pitiful and sacred.

Griffin was shocked: "You..."

Kant said softly: "It's time to end."

He grabbed Griffin's collar, lifted him, and jumped.

The former Speaker of the Great Power, who was once a peerless powerhouse in the world, closed his eyes subconsciously, and only heard the violent wind in his ears. He knew that he was rising, and in an instant, the world changed from narrow to wide.

Griffin opened his eyes and found himself floating in the air. Behind Kant, he spread out the light wings composed of the sun and fire gods. Behind him, the battlefield was wide and steel was like a forest. Thousands of eyes focused on here, staring wildly.

arrive.

The time has come.

coming.

Death has come.

In an instant, all the courage and relief vanished. Even if he was once the strongest life in the world, when death came, he felt instinctual fear and fear, but he was still life.

Ahead, there is a dead end, cold and dark.

"Griffin-Williams, the former president of the Austrian Law Council, betrayed the mortal world, took refuge in the star palace, provoked war, killed the innocent, and made the brave bleed. Today's retribution has come, and the wrath of justice has turned into execution. Feng, from today onwards, the mortal world should know... this is the fate of the betrayal!"

The words of the fire thief pierced into his ears.

Griffin raised his head in panic, all thoughts disappeared, tears rolled down his eyes, and he murmured: "Kant, I...I..."

"Shh..."

Kant just looked at him calmly.

He remembered someone.

In the past, there was also a person who voluntarily died under the extraction power of the fire thief. He and Griffin were different in age and strength. His temperament was like the sky, and his deeds and experiences were completely incomparable. Kant remembers him and remembers his death At the moment, remember the nostalgia and fear that those who see death as home cannot avoid it.

He said softly, "—I know."

Griffin's face instantly became calm.

The condensed blade of light turned into a vengeful front of justice. This scene was captured by high-precision cameras in all directions and placed on the personal terminals of distant soldiers in real time.

There was an uproar from the entire battlefield.

Under the gaze of thousands of eyes, the body of the most honorable and powerful person in the world was penetrated by the blade of light, Kant spread his wings, and with his right arm, he lifted Griffin in the air, and his eyes shone brightly. Directly into the eyes of the betrayal, it smelts the soul, will, life and everything of the other party like a furnace. The light that is hard to look at shines and blooms, as if the heaven and the earth are spinning.

Until the last trace of his body turned into pure light and merged into the whole body of the fire thief, Griffin Williams did not cry out in pain, only tears dissipated in the wind.

until the light fades away.

The battlefield was silent for a while.

People watched in silence and awe.

Watching the ruler of Kant put down the blade of light, watching the holy light shining, the flame thieves with their wings spread out like a god, standing in the sky, watching the light wing of the fire god's light gradually dyed with the mixed brilliance of the three elements.

The elemental phenomenon that was chaotic due to the fighting on the battlefield was like being combed by a gentle hand, returning from chaos to order, and the final twisted vision slowly dissipated in Kant's body.

Only those eyes that still shone with dazzling light swept across the battlefield.

All those who were watched, bowed their heads to show their respect.

Among them, the powerhouses of the various countries were the most terrified and even unable to control themselves. Even Dereira and Dong Tianming clenched their weapons, and their hearts were up and down.

The Dragon Sovereign, who has always been at peace and is actually the proudest, also trembled slightly with his hands hidden behind him.

The chosen elves lost their minds, and the powerful dragons were speechless.

They witnessed the fall of a legend.

Griffin is dead.

Griffin Williams is dead.

Although I have heard Kant's oath to kill, but seeing the supreme mage of the council, the former grand speaker representing the strongest power in the world, died in the hands of Kant, the power and honor of these countries suddenly realized So, history has written a lot today.

Before today, the captured nobles would be redeemed, the captured kings would be treated with courtesy, and the captured strongmen would still be respected to the greatest extent. Respect, high above, only mortal officers and soldiers are wantonly killed.

But today, everything is different.

They watched in awe and bewilderment at the figure with its wings unfolding in the sky, and listened to the mortal soldiers who gradually gave out cheers and shouts without the slightest fear.

Can not help shaking the mind.

With the fall of Griffin Williams, they confirmed one thing.

An era is over.
