Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Trapped in the lonely city, Leona's mood has been changing.

From worry to reassurance, from fear to calm.

A swiftly attacking elves, a cold-blooded and brutal mayor, and a terrifying situation that will inevitably become chaotic due to wars and city destruction... She has always been worried about these, her own safety, and the loyal guards who came with her. and the lives of his followers.

Then someone said, don't worry.

He will protect her and protect everything she wants to protect.

Although the other party is her good friend's husband, although she knows that the other party's behavior logic definitely does not involve any relationship between men and women, she is just thanking and protecting her as Tina's husband...

But Miss Vidal will still unconsciously think about some stinky things.

Dreaming and delusions are everyone's right. Although she is arrogant and unrestrained, after all, living in such a big environment, she has also experienced some shameless delusions... Now it is even more so.

After all, she still has a very good impression of Kant. Although she is not very good at speaking, sometimes it makes people crazy, but her nature is not bad, she is very reliable in speaking and doing things, and it is always better than a little white face who is useless except for her lips... especially This environment now.

The close war, the oppressive atmosphere, the heavy environment, the unknown fate.

In this case, human beings will involuntarily look for psychological sustenance, think about some other things, and believe in some other things.

Leona was thinking of Kant.

When the war started, she sat quietly in the courtyard, listening to the cries from far and near, listening to the noisy voices outside, the sky became gorgeous but chaotic due to the interweaving of spells, powerful supernatural forces Tearing the dark clouds and the sky, violent explosions and roars came from outside the city.

Rumors, speculation, crying, inquiries, fear, true news, false news, when the war begins, people who are powerless and can only wait for the result are often surrounded by these things, and then reveal their fragile and even ugly nature, and this time , Leona just stared at the sky in the distance, where Kant was fighting under that chaotic and burning sky.

And among the people he fought to protect, there must be her share.

She would even have a shameless delusion that Kant was fighting for her. This is an ulterior motive, and she can only think about it for herself. If she says it, her majesty and reputation will definitely be shattered.

...but she still couldn't help thinking about it, she just thought secretly in her heart, substituting herself into the heroine of the drama, of course, Miss Leona is different from those idiots [beep-], she will definitely be in The family sits and waits obediently, instead of running out to make trouble for the man, and eventually cause either the woman to die, the man to die, or both to die. In short, it is a tragic [beep-] forcing the end of the drama.

She was just waiting quietly for the ending, being so obedient, so resigned, and doing nothing, just keeping the man's promise to her, waiting for the result of his fight, not like her usual kind at all.

Actually, it feels pretty good.

To think of a person, to think of the way he fights, heroic, brave, and fearless, but also worried about him, can't help but be nervous, afraid that he will be injured, afraid that he will encounter danger, and worried that he will be brave and reckless. This feeling of concern has never happened before. She doesn't know what it means, and occasionally reminds herself that it's just a wild idea. Kant is Tina's fiancé, and she can't do such a dishonest thing. , not even a little thought.

However, why not have ideas? I just thought to myself, who knows? Who cares about me?

Of course, this idea just came up, and it was snuffed out.

Because of thinking about it a little bit, and thinking about it later, some charming, absurd, and undeserved delusions gradually dissipated, and now she only hopes that Kant can come back safely.

She kept thinking and praying like this, until the deputies directly under the City Hall rode their horses, roared and shouted along the street, and sent back the news that the elves had retreated. This time, they still held it.

And Leona was still sitting in the courtyard, sitting quietly, staring blankly in the direction of the door.

The maids were weeping and the guards were cheering, but she kept silent, neither happy nor sad, everyone else was immersed in the joy of today's peace, but for her, the good news had not yet arrived, and the defense of the city had not yet ended.

Until a familiar figure appeared in front of the door.

The girl's eyes, which were slightly dull due to distraction, became agile, and brilliance bloomed from it.

With a look of surprise on her face, she stood up subconsciously. Because she was sitting still for a long time, she could stand unsteadily for a while, and she even stumbled a step, but she couldn't care about it, she just couldn't wait to look up and down at Kant.

He moved freely, without injury, his face was ruddy, his face was stained with a lot of black ashes, and there was a lot of blood on his body, but it should all belong to an elf, and he also carried a big axe that did not match his temperament and stature. He was wearing a mess of weapons, and he had an expression on his face that he had gone out for a picnic.

There is no fear, and no pride, as if it is as he said, just killing a few elves, it is nowhere better than those aristocratic little white faces who have to brag about 800 times after hunting a wild boar.

She stared at Kant blankly, her heart was up and down. For a while, she had a lot to say, but she didn't know where to start or what to say.

She couldn't help but feel annoyed - after thinking about it for so long, why didn't she think about what to say when he came back?

But Kant did not follow the script she had conceived at all. The male protagonist did not stand in front of the door and stared at the female protagonist silently for a long time, nor did the sunset shine on their faces, nor did the silent stare turn into a happy cry. His expression changed, but he didn't rush over to hug them.

The other party just walked in on his own, as if he just went out to buy an axe, and looked at her strangely as he walked: "What are you doing sitting here?"

…that's true.

Even if he thinks of the gentle and beautiful words, this guy probably won't notice.

Leona thought of this and smiled.

Her tone was much softer than usual: "It's hard work, you're not hurt."

Kant was obviously stunned for a moment: "Ah... No, it's fine, thank you."

Seeing his startled and unfamiliar response, the girl froze for a moment, then laughed.

Kant was stared at by her, a little uncomfortable: "...what are you looking at?"

Leona seemed to have discovered something interesting, she laughed even more brightly when she heard the words, and things seemed to return to the rhythm she had expected.

"Go take a shower, I'll let them prepare hot water."

She smiled gracefully and gently like a lady: "wash away the blood and exhaustion, warriors don't need those things to adorn themselves, you just need to bring back victory, trophies, and yourself intact."

-Wow!

Leona praised herself loudly in her heart.

If you want to do it, you can do it! I can also say such contrived words! The old lady is not just cursing! Did you see Tina! I can also learn from you to say such inexplicable nonsense! It's not just that you read a lot!

She was eager to see Kant's reaction. To be honest, she wouldn't be surprised no matter how the other party's reaction was sarcastic, puzzled or even sarcastic, and if there were other interesting reactions, it would be a pleasant surprise... With this kind of thought that it's not a loss anyway, she looked at Kant.

The other party's expression was very subtle: "Then what..."

Leona was half vigilant and half curious: "What's wrong?"

Kant scratched his head: "Actually, I brought back more than that..."

Before Leona could ask a question, she heard a low-pitched mechanical sound from outside.

The next moment, a giant steel hand touched the edge of the wall, and then a huge giant's head stuck out, his eyes emitting a strange light, the giant stood up, then carefully raised his legs, and crossed the wall, Then in front of her, it rumbled into Kant's alchemy chariot.

A voice came from inside the car: "Father, I can't drive in."

Leona's expression became dull.

In fact, when the earthlings watched the Transformers movie for the first time, when they saw Brother Zhuzi transforming for the first time, they would basically go crazy.

Not to mention aliens.

Even more so by seeing it with your own eyes.

She never imagined that Kant's alchemy chariot was such a thing.

However, her sluggishness did not disappear immediately, because the next moment, many big green hands were also pressing against the wall, and one green skin jumped over the wall with a brain!

After seeing her, the tallest green skin in the lead cried out.

"Little shrimp, I recognize you!"

The powerful and powerful voice spread immediately, and the entire Vidal Chamber of Commerce jumped.

Leona got what she had been waiting for.

The other party fulfilled his promise, fought for the city and for her, and returned safely.

At this moment, her eyes met with him. The other party was covered in blood, dust, and exhaustion. He returned with victory, carrying an axe, with a group of orcs screaming behind him.

Especially the tallest and biggest one, who shouted the loudest.

"Little shrimp, why are you here!"

No matter how romantic or beautiful, the dreamy vision and sweet atmosphere that Leona had imagined had been completely shattered at this moment, and had no value in remembering or remembering at all.

But for some reason, there was no fluctuation in her heart, and she even wanted to laugh, without anger and anger at all.

As if that's the normal outcome... as long as it has something to do with Kant.

"...So it is."

After taking a bath and changing into clean clothes, the chef had already prepared a lot of food. While eating, Kant told Leona about the cause and effect of the incident.

"As for how it met the greenskins, it hasn't told me in detail yet." Kant shrugged, "If you have time, let's take it as a story, it should be quite interesting."

Leona looked at Kant with a subtle expression: "I told the greenskin about you at that time, just to use them to kill the imperial chasers who were chasing you, so it implied that you were the person they were looking for... so , are you really, or are they misled by my words?"

Kant had already eaten a piece of lamb chops, wiped his mouth and said, "I don't know, but I guess it is. These green skins are quite evil, and they have an indescribable wonderful ability..."

Leona asked in surprise, "What ability?"

"Don't you know?" Kang Deqi said, "I'm from China... Aurora, so I don't know, but you're a mainlander, don't you think these green skins are evil?"

"Evil Sect?" Leona frowned, "The orcs have many tribes, and their temperaments are roughly similar, but there are also differences. For example, the Xieyue clan will even do business with humans. My family has a lot of cooperation with their Greentown Chamber of Commerce, and even a lot of transactions. It's all up to me."

Speaking of which, she raised her chin: "So, I know a little bit about orcs, most of them are idiots with no brains, but there are also smart greenskins who are cunning and greedy, almost exactly the same as humans, other than that, I don't know what else is amazing about them...Which one are you talking about?"

Kant frowned and organized the language: "Similar to... the ability to achieve what you want? For example, if they want iron tools, they will find an iron ore by instinct. For example, they want to get a carriage out. , then this carriage, no matter how outrageous it is made, will still work well…”

Leona was surprised at first, then laughed: "I can't see it, you have a lot of ideas, why don't you write a long poem or a play, say that green skin has this ability, and then rule the world."

She shook her head and said: "How can there be such a convenient ability in this world, do you know how much iron the Greentown Chamber of Commerce collects in a year? You need all kinds of scraps and irons. After receiving them, they sell them to the same family. It's crazy to make money, I think so. Destroy the Xieyue clan, and manage this business by yourself... If they have such a convenient ability, they still use it like this? With such an unreasonable manufacturing process, where can the elves be the overlords?"

Kant frowned: "But they really..."

seeing is believing.

Smell the smell of gasoline and find an oil well directly from the Gobi Desert. This can be explained by coincidence, smell, etc. Without processing fractionated oil, stirring and mixing with some strange substances, you can directly start the engine and use it. This can also be explained by otherworldly magical substances.

But just relying on handwork, you can create that kind of heavy locomotive, which not only drives flying, but also has a messy cool ability, which is completely contrary to common sense... How can this be explained?

Leona said: "Anyway, I have lived so long and have dealt with greenskins a lot, and even in order to do business with them, I went to the great library of the imperial capital to look up a lot of information about orcs... I haven't heard of it at all. They have such terrifying abilities, and it doesn't make sense at all."

"I also think this is unreasonable. Races with this ability will come forward no matter what, or they will be encircled and wiped out." Kant shook his head and said, "But those are really not fake..."

"I don't know about that." Leona spread her hands and said, "It can't be that these greenskins have you in their hearts, eagerly want to see you, and have a relationship with you, that's why they become so miraculous."

PS1: I saw the discussion in the thread the day before yesterday and wanted to popularize it, but I forgot yesterday. Today I will talk about the significance of oil to modern society - fuel oil, plastics, cosmetics, synthetic fibers, synthetic rubber, medicines, cleaning products, fertilizers, dyeing Agents, condiments, industrial lubricants, etc., all rely on oil, which basically covers the basic needs of every modern person. Combustion is the most wasteful use of oil.
