Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

"I just want to help her and let her realize that she is a true friend. When she thank me tearfully, I will give her the **** and scold her [beep-]!"

Leona's words were full of domineering.

Even she herself was moved by herself.

His uncle, the old lady is so loyal.

Beware of being vigilant or even misunderstood by former good friends, but instead of breaking up with them, they work hard for them, and even enter the dangerous land of Goethe. Even after being misunderstood and guarded by their girlfriends, they have to be vigilant and guarded by their girlfriends' husbands. This couple is really All the same, they're all unconscionable.

When Leona thought of this episode, she became even more angry in her heart. She looked at Kant's face, and her heart was filled with ruthless words - when the time comes, the old lady will not only scold Tina, but also scold you for a stupid [beep-]!

Then, she saw Kant's gentle expression and kind eyes.

Think of that axe.

…forget it.

I just scold Tina.

Desperately admitting the counsel in her heart, the girl listened to Kant and asked, "Then what?"

Leona was stunned: "What and then?"

Kant said with a look of course: "You want to help your best friend, what does it have to do with you coming to me? Don't deny it, you should be here for me, right?"

"…"

"…"

Leona looked at Kant, hesitated, took a deep breath, her expression changed, she probably wanted to transform into Brother Wufly, but she already knew something about Kant's virtue.

In the end, she sighed faintly: "I'm so loyal, can't you praise me first?"

Kant thought about it.

Although what this woman has said so far has been one-sided and beautiful, but who knows what she thinks in her heart, at least from the current point of view, her credibility is only 40%.

But complimenting is nothing. If she is so loyal, let alone complimenting, even kissing her is okay, and if she has other plans, complimenting can also make a fool of herself with her, and there is no loss. …In that case, let’s brag about it.

- After all, I'm not a straight man of steel.

So he stretched out his hand, pressed the top of the silver-haired girl's head, felt the soft hair and warm little head, and smiled: "Yes, yes, you are really amazing, you are very loyal, you are a good girl..."

"…"

"…"

Leona's eyes widened, as if she hadn't realized what had happened. After all, it was all too amazing. After she was ten years old, nothing like this had ever happened again.

Immediately afterwards, her tender face was covered with red clouds at a speed visible to the naked eye, her eyes were full of shame and even anger, she threw off Kant's hand and roared.

"Silly [beep-]! Where do you put your dog's paws!"

Almost at the same time, the windows on both sides were pulled open, and the heads of Hong San and the old butler poked in from the left and right, looking at the situation inside. After all, Leona's shouting could easily lead to misunderstandings.

They saw that Kant's expression was slightly embarrassed, and they also saw Leona shrinking and patting her head, smoothing her hair, as if there was something dirty on it.

Kant looked at Hong San and then at the old housekeeper. He was stunned for a moment and explained, "Don't get me wrong, she just asked me to praise her, so I touched her head..."

He paused for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking, and added another sentence.

"It's the top head."

Alas.

At the same time, Leona's angry scolding also sprayed over: "Unbelievable! Touch a lady's head, where are you from the old grandpa! It will mess up your hair! It's very uncomfortable!"

The old butler retracted his head without saying a word, and closed the window.

Hong Sam did the same thing.

Only the two men and women were left looking at each other in the carriage. You looked at me, and I looked at you.

In the end, Leona seemed to have lost her strength, her straight body relaxed, and she let out a big sigh, looking helpless: "Forget it, forget it, I have never seen a man like you."

Leaning on the soft cushion, she lost her ladylike attitude, and even raised her legs, looked at Kant, and said, "Let's talk about you... Shall we start with our discovery of your trace?"

Kant waved his hand and said: "That's not necessary, just tell me why you want to contact me."

Leona frowned and said: "Nonsense, you are Tina's concubine, she thought you were dead, and now you are almost a mad woman with a dead husband, I found you, of course I hope you will be reunited with her and let her sober by the way. Just don't look at people with that horrible look all day."

Kant blinked: "...Wait, my friend, wait a minute, hope I'll be reunited with Tina? Then what do you think I'm going westward from Huisha to Goethe for? Cross the ocean to go home?"

Leona bit her lip and her expression became serious.

"Different."

She said: "I hope you can recognize the seriousness of the matter and get to her as quickly as possible to save you from being entangled in unimportant things - as you are now."

The girl straightened up and said seriously: "Kant, Aurora, I have brought disturbing news, this may be just a guess, but it means a very terrible ending, Tina's state is very bad, I don't Be sure what she's going to do, but don't doubt her determination and... madness."

"So, when we reach an agreement, I hope you and I will return to City Hall immediately to meet the **** mayor and tell everything frankly, whether it's your identity or Tina's crazy plan to convince him to let go. You're out of town... Although I don't trust him, that's all it's about now."

"Or if you have enough strength and ability, then find a way to get out of the city by yourself, and then immediately rush to the north, meet Tina's team, go to see her, go to comfort her, go..."

Speaking of this, a little sigh and helplessness appeared on the girl's face.

"Go and help her... Although I want to say this, I don't think you can help much, but she may be happy to be by her side."

Kant frowned and said, "I don't understand what you are talking about. What exactly is Tina planning?"

The silver-haired girl looked at him, her eyes flashed with a sense of superiority as a professional, and then said helplessly: "This is not easy, a guy like you is good at fighting and killing beautiful girls with an axe. , but I don't know anything about business and economics... It may be difficult to convince you, I will try to tell you what Tina has done recently in a way that you can understand."

Leona organized the language, and then said: "Tina raised a banner in the north, and every city gave speeches, calling on people to form volunteer troops, so the big businessmen and nobles all gave generously, her reputation It spread quickly, she was sought after as a legendary princess with beauty, intelligence and determination, and more and more people went to her... You know what drives people to invest and follow her?"

After asking this question, the girl is ready to hear answers such as "justice", "beauty", "faith".

Kant said without hesitation: "Benefits."

Leona's eyes widened.

"What kind of look are you looking at? Are you surprised?" Kant said, "People in the world can flock here for the sake of profit, and they can also disperse things for the sake of profit. This is the way the world is. Everyone is running for the sake of profit, but it is only a form of expression of interest. It's not about the number, it depends on the role people play."

When he said this, he showed a subtle look of contempt: "Don't you think that those people were moved by Tina's speech and her steely will and belief, and decided to follow her?"

"…of course not!"

Leona found herself being subtly despised, and was very annoyed, she said angrily: "It's just interests, those illegitimate children, those guys who don't have the right to inherit, are for a fight, the poor knights are for the sake of Honor and land, mercenaries are for money, as you said, different status, different interests..."

"But the real main force supporting Tina are those rich and powerful businessmen and nobles. They are rich and have a lot of materials and connections. They provide a lot of weapons, equipment and food, and it is they who integrate manpower to join Tina's army. It was they who hired the troopers and bards to brag about Tina..."

The girl looked at Kant and asked, "So what kind of interests do these people who are not short of money and status invest in Tina and support them so strongly?"

Kant said impatiently: "Don't betray yourself, Tina must have promised some kind of huge benefit that can't be fulfilled or even wanted to fulfill, which is why these rich and powerful guys are tempted to throw money out of their minds. I'm afraid that's the dangerous and crazy thing she's doing—please speak."

"…"

Leona's expression was stiff, her small hands trembling, she took out a small delicate silver bottle from the dark grid beside her, put it on her mouth and took a few sips, gasping for breath.

This guy is not stupid! Why is it so rude, so able to fight, so incomprehensible, yet so clever! Where in the world did such a strange person come from! Couldn't he be nicer to me!

She let out a few breaths and said, "...Sell the shares."

Kant raised his eyebrows and said, "Huh?"

Leona said: "Tina claimed to those big nobles and big businessmen that Goethe led to the invasion of elves, and even the empire stood idly by, because Goethe discovered an ancient ruin with great wealth, and was about to decipher the secret, probably so, not Know how she lied..."

"But that's not the point. The point is that she claims to divide the wealth and profits of this relic into shares and sell them to those merchants and nobles, as long as they subscribe in the form of supporting Goethe, food, grass, people, money, materials, anything can be, in the future. If the ancient ruins are excavated, the shares can be distributed as dividends."

"Moreover, excavating the ruins is a long-term benefit, as well as a short-term benefit. The shares are also equivalent to borrowing, and after a period of time, there will be interest..."
