Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

The night scene is noisy, the music is melodious, the far port is brightly lit, and there is laughter everywhere.

The dazzling fireworks rose into the sky, exploding brilliant arcs of splendor, causing exclamations and admiration.

The streets are bustling with people calling friends and companions. The high-power city lights will disperse the night, and the brilliance is like day, reflecting everyone's smiles.

More than 3,000 Aurora Dongduers got off the bus and disappeared into the crowd in almost an instant. They were half confused and half shrinking, looking at this strange and novel city, and then they saw Countless smiles were involuntarily pulled into this feast.

The staggered steps, the endless laughter around, and the ceremonial Aurora people soon suffered from backache and arm pain, because everyone they saw smiled at them, some people touched their chests and saluted, some people took off their hats and bowed, and some people bowed their knees and nodded. Saying "Hello" and "Welcome to Far Harbor" in a clumsy pronunciation.

Zhang Li and Shen Maocai were still together, they were dizzy and saw the prosperity of the world.

Along the way, I met all kinds of people.

The hair color is different, the appearance is different, and even just by looking at the body shape, it is known that they are of different races.

The handsome and unassuming man of Ang Zang has sharp ears and awe-inspiring awe, he is obviously a warrior of the Eldar race, with emerald green skin and scary fangs. The one with extremely white hair and dark blue hair like the sea should be the so-called "Ilan-Tair".

Different nationalities, even different races, in this feast, everyone lived in harmony.

The elves kept their distance from the people slightly arrogantly and indifferently, the dwarves shouted "Look down, there is me here", the orcs shouted "little shrimp, don't crowd", even if the habits, customs and personalities are different, humans and aliens Maintain a decent distance and respect, no abuse, no quarrels.

More often, they crossed their shoulders, greeted with a smile, communicated which neighborhoods had unlimited wine, and discussed which mobile stalls had fewer people in line. Some people said that Langweixian had launched a barbecue flavor, which caused shouts of joy. , Some people say that the new Cherry Coke is so **** bad to drink, and then there is a lot of doubts.

"My friends from Aurora, "Dragons" will be broadcast tonight at the Mugunghwa Theater. It was jointly filmed by Far Harbor Films and Dragon Island Defense. It tells the story of the giant dragon battle group against the flying dragon!"

"Thank you brother for reminding me!"

Zhang Li thanked the Goethe who had spoken to him, and the other party waved his hand and smiled.

"Dragons..."

The two Aurora scribes opened the tourist brochures in their hands, and quickly found the remarks in the movie column. This so-called movie is a special alchemy equipment that stays in the phantom of time and reproduces the puppet show in front of people. - Just looking at this description makes the two move a lot.

Among several representative films, "Dragoon" is impressively listed.

"It tells the story of Goethe's candidate dragon knight Conns, who took his dragon knight father as his idol. After sinking several times, he finally rose up. Together with his silver dragon partner, he and his companions defeated the despicable and shameless and served the evil magic kingdom. The story of the bipedal dragons who became an excellent dragoon."

"Sounds..." Shen Maocai pondered, "It's a good story to inherit from the father's business."

Zhang Li also nodded: "Since it was recommended by that friend, it is naturally good."

As soon as he finished speaking, he faintly heard a chuckle, followed by a soft female voice.

"shameless."

- That's what the lady said.

Zhang Li turned back suddenly, only to see a pair of beautiful people leaving each other in the dim light.

"You can do this kind of thing! It's shameless!"

Delilah's dissatisfied scolding sounded in his ears, and Kant just whistled with a proud look on his face.

The two ignorant oriental geniuses did not know that this so-called "Dragons" movie hides evil propaganda schemes outside the fascinating scenes.

Wyverns are a hybrid of dragons and griffins, and naturally have a hybrid advantage. In addition to inheriting part of the power of the dragons, they also have a fertility rate that the dragons cannot match. Over the years, under the leadership of the contemporary dragon kings, Crazy unwinding with the thriving Dragon Island Defense.

Different from the top security products provided by Longdao, Poison Nest precisely locates the sinking market, and seizes the pain points of third- and fourth-tier countries, regions and organizations that desire cost-effective war units in low-intensity warfare. The opportunity for lower-level products has captured the third- and fourth-tier markets in one fell swoop, and, holding high the banner of cost-effectiveness and cluster combat advantages, began to seize the market of the first- and second-tier powers of Longdao Defense.

Taking the dragon fortune is like digging the bones of a dragon, and the defense of Longdao would not give up. However, as a decent dragon on the road, the Dragon Emperor followed the rules and did not shout or kill, but first tried to acquire a controlling stake.

Then it was rejected.

The Dragon Emperor immediately ordered the Shuanghua Honglong and the giant dragon operators to prepare for a commercial battle with the two-footed flying dragon.

But this actually didn't go well, because the world has been suffering for a long time, and countries will pay a huge amount of employment fees, insurance premiums and other product upgrades for the introduction of dragon operators every year. After all, there is no substitute. The product is like this. Now that the two-legged flying dragons come out to fight in the arena, countries are naturally overjoyed, and they are also counting on the market to reduce prices. How can the poison nest collapse?

Moreover, this year's Flying Dragon King is also a highly skilled person. He joined forces to lobby and propose, but he let all countries come forward and obstructed Longdao's further business activities against the poison nest. This is too embarrassing. I was so frustrated that I didn't even have the face to tell Kant.

But things took a turn.

Kant and the Council have been at odds with each other, and they have been at each other's throats in the past few months, and the Council is the biggest customer of the Wyverns. Especially these days, Kant's Air Force has repeatedly committed crimes, and most of the investigation, blocking and interception work is done by Wyverns to complete - the most outstanding result is that a few Wyverns fly in the air, carrying a deflecting prism on their backs, guiding the elemental light spears to almost destroy a large transport plane.

Well, offend Kant and still want to run?

Kant also sent an envoy to inform the poison nest, and immediately terminated the cooperative relationship with the Austrian law council.

Of course, the Flying Dragon King will not agree. They already know the relationship between the Aurora and the Dragon Lady Lily, and the rumor that Kant and the Dragon Emperor are "half-brothers" has been heard even more. Terminate the partnership, and I can't get any good on Kant's side, so let's get rid of the hammer.

The revenge of the Aurora people came in an instant, and the troops were divided into three groups.

First, intensify efforts to shoot down all the Wyverns during a crime in Arcane Council airspace.

Secondly, Sigoethe Company is involved in the field of security. Whichever company hires a bipedal dragon, Sigoethe Company's mercenaries will go to the opposite side to help, and the price is negotiable.

Finally, there is the movie "Dragons".

By the standards of the earth's perfect film industry, this film is extremely simple, but it is very useful in another world. Every frame of this ideologically strong film is malicious.

-The two-footed dragon that eats children, the evil and cold-blooded "Magic Federation", the evil power transaction, the selfish and cruel war logic, the innuendo and the maliciousness.

In terms of strong cultural output, the film bears the brunt. The caravan of Sigoethe has begun to build a trade network. Everywhere, the film opens its way and is played for free in front of the chamber of commerce every once in a while, and even in the film after it is finished. It started to introduce many products, and the effect was excellent.

And this dragoon movie has also caused a great sensation. Every time it is played, the reputation of the two-footed dragon will become worse, and even the "Magic Federation" will be insinuated.

In this way, over time, the three of them will become tigers and spread rumors, and the civilian market for the bipedal dragon will shrink rapidly, and the military market will not be much better - although the kings and generals will not pay attention to the exaggeration in the movie, but Soldiers and civilians who hire dragons to be stationed will be in great panic.

Once and for all, it will in turn affect the decision-making of the decision-making level.

"Shameless, shameless."

Derela squinted and asked, "Aren't you afraid of completely offending the Wyvern?"

"Of course not."

After a comprehensive investigation of the individual combat power of the Wyvern, Kant, Horus and Afu agreed that this ferocious and terrifying flying creature, "a hand-pulled machine can hang a hammer".

In addition to spurning Kant's despicable behavior, as a monarch, she naturally has the vision and thinking of a king, her expression is a little uneasy, and her tone is solemn: "The people will actually believe the content of the movie, even more than the priest's. Preaching and government orders...is that what you call seeing is believing?"

Kant squinted at Dereira, who was in deep thought, and said yin and yang strangely: "Yo, it seems that a certain queen is going to make a movie about political brainwashing to control the minds of the people..."

The queen said angrily: "I can't do it! Only fools will believe in movies!"

"Really not?"

"Don't do it!"

"Don't care?"

"Don't care!"

Kant clapped his hands: "So decided, the next movie will be a love story between a handsome Aurora with a mysterious origin and an elf queen who sneaks to a foreign country for fun. The name is "Far Harbor Holiday"..."

As soon as he finished speaking, his chest ate an elbow.

"It hurts!"

"Lie, I didn't exert any strength at all." The phoenix fire in her eyes flashed away, and Delilah hummed, "And you don't seem to be in any pain or discomfort."

Alas, there are no secrets at all in front of the two of them.

Kant complained, "Why beat me?"

"Speaking arrogant and rude words to the king will of course be punished."

"What kind of rudeness is this?"

"To make... that kind of movie, of course, is a great blasphemy and arrogance!"

"Ah, ah, come and see, the Phoenix King interferes with the freedom of creation and interferes with the emerging art of film. Maybe in China, he often threatens playwrights and makes them sing praises for himself."

"...I didn't! Never!"

"Then why don't you let me make a movie?"

"Who, who knows what it will be like, maybe it's a very annoying story."

"No, I will write the script myself!"

"It makes the elves even more uneasy!" Derela looked carefully at the pedestrians around, and then gave Kant a sideways glance, her golden eyes turned angrily, "Further, furthermore, a holy and great monarch cannot be played! This is undoubtedly a Blasphemy, if the actor is... a shameless person..."

When she said this, her voice stuttered, her face blushed, she suddenly stopped, and peeked at Kant - this kind of worry has some color meaning, I don't know if he understands...

Kant touched his chin and pondered: "It turns out that, just as the boyfriend of a famous seiyuu often begs his girlfriend to perform on-demand activities in bed to achieve the ultimate dream of a **** paper man, you are worried..."

-Although I don't know what this guy is talking about, he obviously understands this lecher!

Derrilah interrupted him with a blushing face: "Anyway..."

"If that's the case—" Kant said, "Why don't you play it yourself?"

The body of His Majesty the Phoenix King froze suddenly: "Huh?"

"Why don't we play the hero and heroine?" Kant spread his hands and said, "You and me, we..."

"-I do not want it!"

After finishing speaking, the queen hurried forward, and Kant had to follow behind, persuading: "It's fun to make a movie, especially to beautify some stories that only a few people once knew and stay in the world..."

"You just want to photograph me making a fool of yourself!"

"How can you contaminate someone's innocence out of thin air?"

Crossing the streets and alleys, running and chasing, in this hazy and warm feast tonight, no one cares about the identity of the person they see, people devote themselves to this joy, today have their own happiness today, tomorrow There is no sorrow for tomorrow. In this chase of laughter and singing, shyness and resistance have gradually been released.

"I want to eat candied haws!"

"Oh, I'm looking for..."

"Have to line up! Have to buy it yourself!"

"It's going to be a long queue..."

"So it will be sweet!"

"...Unintelligible."

So there was a line up, Delilah was in front, Kant was in the back, the heavy cloak covered the queen's unparalleled appearance, she stood quietly in the queue, the hand that was used to holding the artifact and giving orders was behind her back at this moment, He pinched the corner of Kant's clothes, bowed his head and smiled in front of Kant's eyes.

The children in front were talking about what they wanted to eat next in an excited tone. The elves and humans passing by were discussing where to go next. They wanted to go to the rugby game. The team's ultimate battle, they're arguing over who is the best quarterback between Goldtooth and Bloodaxe.

"Line up..."

Zhang Li put the empty Coke bottle on the stage. The empty bottle was neat and tidy. People kept putting the bottle back on the stage and throwing the wrapping paper into the trash can.

He looked at the roads intertwined with tourists, and there was almost no debris. All the mobile stalls, shops, ticket offices and other areas were lined up in long queues in an orderly manner.

"People... are lining up."

The colorful lights, the fireworks that burst into the sky, the delicious goods, the glorious images, the self-propelled vehicles, the steel giant ships floating on the water... Everything I saw tonight was so new, never seen before, but really shocking The mind of this talented genius is the ordinary scene in front of him.

"It's so neat, everyone is used to it."

Shen Maocai also looked at it very strongly, and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid even the army of Xiang can't do this..."

"Everyone has bought Shiqiao wine, and the carts are standing tall and piled up with long bottles..." Zhang Li was stunned for a moment, and then laughed in a low voice, "The power of enlightenment, you can see the book, you have the appearance of a holy king."

Then he laughed loudly, grabbed Shen Maocai's hand, and said loudly, "Brother Shen, let's go to the movies!"

"You did a great job."

Derrila, who bought the candied haws, walked side by side with Kant, enjoying the serenity and independence of the world in this lively night market full of tourists.

Kant swallowed the strawberry wrapped in syrup into his mouth, chewed it, and was immediately sour, narrowed his eyes, and swallowed the sour and sweet pulp and syrup, he heard Dereira's words.

"what?"

"This city... I almost watched it change with my own eyes." Derela said softly, "You have done a good job... I don't even think that even Silvermoon City can completely overtake Far Harbor."

This is already the ultimate compliment.

Kant smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing."

"I don't remember you being so humble."

"So it's the truth, it's nothing." Kant replied, "Actually, it's a clever trick, an ideal land created by extremely wealthy materials, super artificial intelligence with amazing computing power, and absolute power and authority... Fish, it's not a remarkable feat."

He raised a finger: "When the whole Goethe lives like this, you will praise me again, and I will gladly accept it."

Delilah thought thoughtfully, and then smiled: "What if it was the entire continent?"

Kant's face was rampant, and he shouted: "Then I am a **** emperor who has made great achievements throughout the ages. In order to thank me, all the beautiful girls in the world should be my queens..."

Before he could finish speaking, he ate another elbow.

"It's not normal again."

Derela hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "By the way, I came to see you today to remind you."

"what?"

"You shouldn't have come up with that kind of stuff."

"Um?"

The Phoenix King sighed: "That combine harvester."

"Oh."

"You are too careless... The information about the combine harvester has already caused huge waves in the parliament, and the same is true for the entire continent. The shock of this alchemy machine to the countries is far greater than the ancient ruins of Yilan-Tair. ,Do you know why?"

Facing Dereira's question, Kant replied: "If the number is sufficient, it can release the huge agricultural population bound by farmland in various countries, which can greatly increase the area of ​​arable land and food production."

The Phoenix King said in amazement, "You clearly know, why are you still..."

Kant blinked: "How can we get them to agree with us if we don't let the Silver Moon Council see the family's wealth?"

After that, I ate an elbow.

Kant called Qu: "I'm clearly talking about the covenant..."

He was hit again by an angry Delilah.

"Don't worry."

He spread his hands and said: "Good things fall into the hands of the weak, and they are called sins. When they are controlled by the strong, they are called the residence of the virtuous. A series of agricultural technologies such as combine harvesters are placed in my hands..."

He snorted: "That's the core technology and competitive advantage."

"This thing..." Delilah said helplessly, "Even we want to grab it."

"You won't grab it, because the risk of war is too great." Kant smiled. "The forgetful elders of the Silvermoon Council will suddenly remember that you and I have a great personal friendship."

Derrella is already immune to this level of ridicule, or rather, now is not the time to be joking, she said dissatisfied: "The empire and the council must also want to grab it."

"If you take a beating, you will know that you should kneel and beg instead of looting." Kant replied, "Iran-Tair's legacy, agricultural machinery technology, and the victory of a war... These are enough to dispel the conflict between the nations. My fear and hostility, let them recognize my position and power and come back to the negotiating table."

He looked at Dereira: "These technologies and machines will be handed over to the countries for a fee. The power of the mortal world needs to be strengthened. We don't have much time. The revenge of the star palace may come soon, before that. , all mortal beings must be armed, and we must seize every opportunity to grow in strength..."

The queen's eyes were stunned, and she suddenly showed guilt, and said softly: "I'm sorry."

"what?"

"I didn't do you any favors... I couldn't convince the Silvermoon Council to support you, they advocated getting more from you, even your surrender."

When Derela said this, she became more and more guilty. She and Kant both knew the threat of the Star Palace and knew that the only way out was to unite with the mortal world, but they couldn't convince most people-the world's vision couldn't see that far, and even the top of Mount Tai was overwhelmed. , the crisis is imminent, and it cannot be completely united.

When Kant invited the nations to the conference in good faith with the legacy of the Ilan-Tyr civilization, Derrilah was unable to respond to his proposal because the Silvermoon Council blocked her.

At the end of the day, only Kant is fighting alone, facing the tacit indifference and hostility of the whole world.

"It doesn't matter, you have your position too."

Kant stretched out his hand and pressed Dereira's head: "Also, you've helped a lot."

The noble king didn't even emphasize the rudeness of touching his head. Her golden eyes flashed with curiosity. She looked at Kant with a question in her eyes.

"Next, Far Harbor will face more greedy conspiracies and calculations, even a war, and this war will win the seat of the great powers for the Far Harbor Shogunate... And I can be sure that this conspiracy and war will be controlled in a reasonable and prudent manner. Within the range, the mainland countries will not press too hard, because of you."

Kant stretched out his hand and tapped Derelah's clean forehead.

"Because you're giving me the bottom line, as long as you're here, the Emperor, the Grand Chancellor, and the other Roshzi monarchs will realize an important thing - if I'm in a hurry, I'll go straight to Dusk Moon Island and join your country, Marry you and dedicate all my wisdom, wealth and strength to Twilight."

The night sounded, and the bright fireworks burst into the sky. The hustle and bustle in the distance was intertwined with the tranquility here. Kant and Dereira looked at each other.

Suddenly, the Phoenix King turned around, went behind Kant, and held Kant's waist.

His head rested on Kant's back.

She said softly, "Okay."

Kant's tiger body was shocked: "Huh?"

"Just kidding." The Queen smiled slightly, "I mean, the movie you're talking about, "Far Harbor Holiday", if it doesn't show, if it doesn't write a strange script, then I can try to act it with you."

"you…"

Without waiting for Kant to speak, the honorable and honest His Majesty the Phoenix King gave a reasonable reason and explanation for his actions.

"After all, if the ancestor knew about this, he would definitely not hesitate to pretend to be me and play that with you, instead of letting her continue to ruin my image and reputation..."

She opened her mouth, and through Kant's clothes, her silver teeth clasped together, and she took a bite of Kant.

"—I might as well do it myself."
