Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Sometimes it's better to get straight to the point.

Especially for the political animals of the Austrian Law Council.

Rather than saying "I want to maintain the peace of the world and fight against the Star Palace with you, so I won't fall into trouble, and even help you", they are more inclined to believe "Shit, I want your money, people and technology." Otherwise, it will explode your realistic motives.

With the exchange and transmission of interests, they are more at ease.

At least they could understand what Kant wanted.

Kalios probably understood this, but still shook his head: "With my power, I can't promise you too much... I don't have such power."

"So I'm going to make sure you have it." Condor was astonished. "You're going to be the next Grand Chancellor."

Kalios replied subconsciously: "Being the Grand Speaker requires following ancient traditions and sacred procedures, being elected and nominated by the Senate, as well as various departments..."

Kant shrugged: "Then come on."

"I mean, I can't necessarily make it..."

Hearing the words, the earthling waved his hands: "For the sake of the overall situation and everyone's dignity, you can fake it. For the sake of freedom and democracy, this is not shabby."

"How can this be possible." Carius frowned, "Also, why must it be me?"

"Because you are the most suitable." Kant's eyes were burning, "I have already said that, I am afraid that you are the person in the council who has really suffered from them, and thus breeds strong hatred and hostility."

Callius did not speak.

"I'm familiar with this look." Kant stared into his eyes, "Your eyes are full of betrayal rage, the person who betrayed you once gained your trust and even respect, you think you have the same ideal and path, Even taking him as an example and goal, but in one day, the world turned upside down, he betrayed and hurt you, you were painful, puzzled, doubtful, unbelievable, and even full of hatred."

"You hate him, and you hate making him who he is, and you can't wait to see what future the Star Palace promises to Griffin, making the man you respect betray everything so far..."

Before Kant could finish speaking, Karius said solemnly, "Enough!"

Kant just smiled lightly: "This is why I think you should be the grand speaker... Although I don't trust you completely, I don't know if you will choose this cowardly and despicable rebel king like Griffin in the future. road, but at least for now, you are the best fit."

Kalios was silent, and then glanced at the three giants of the Security Committee. The three had different expressions, and they all said nothing. The executive seemed to understand something and sneered suddenly.

He turned to look at Kant: "Is this some kind of provocation and flattery?"

"No, it's not." Kant said calmly, "I just hope that the new generation of powers of the Austrian Law Council can view the relationship between itself and the Far Harbor more rationally, and don't be like Griffin's stupid beep, who wants to use it in his heart. War to solve the problem, the result is blinded by the star palace and ruined."

He pressed the headset, confirmed it, and said, "By the way, just as we were talking, Phaethon and Griffin, who broke through the siege, rushed to a hideout somewhere in the city and used teleportation. It seems that the defected grand speaker is quite well prepared."

The mages turned pale.

Phaersson was originally a top powerhouse with strange methods and outstanding combat power, and Griffin, a legendary spellcaster who was also on the top of the pinnacle, joined forces, enough to keep any monarch awake at night. Riffin is also the former Supreme Leader of the Council!

Knows almost everything about this country - classified intelligence, secret weapons, national information, distribution of troops...and so on and so forth.

All the secrets accumulated and sealed by the council over hundreds of thousands of years of history are all undefended in Griffin's eyes, and God knows what he wants to do!

Kalios's reaction was the most excited. He wanted to stand up, but the severe pain all over his body made him groan, and then he stared at Kant viciously: "Why didn't you say it earlier!"

Kant spread his hands and said, "Because I want to blackmail you."

"you!"

The phoenix soaring pattern appeared in the eyes of the fire thief, and the golden fire was flaming, he said lightly: "Let's not talk about the direct destructive power of the two top powerhouses, just rely on Griffin's tenure as the grand speaker, how much top secret this country knows. and weakness, can you allow him to escape alive?"

"Do you want to hunt down and execute him? Where did he go? Do you know? If you know, send a strong person to exterminate the crusade? Who will be sent? How many people? Only the peerless strong can be killed. There are not many people of different ranks, and there are not many councils. They belong to various factions. How to coordinate? How to boost morale? How to ensure that these people participating in the encirclement and suppression operations will not talk nonsense everywhere?"

"As powerful as they are, it is difficult to use military discipline and contracts to restrain them? What kind of rewards and incentives are there to allow them to do their best to fight with at least two peerless powerhouses?"

These questions are extremely realistic, leaving Carius and the others speechless.

It does.

All living beings have the instinct to survive, who wants to stand still? It is one thing to chase away a peerless powerhouse, but it is another matter to kill a peerless powerhouse—the backlash and struggle of the opponent before his death must be extremely terrifying, and maybe he will take away a few lives. It is not easy for everyone to practice, who wants to Fight this old life?

Callius asked, "Are you willing to help again?"

Kant snapped his fingers: "That depends on how much you are willing to pay."

"what would you like?"

"Don't be so amateur, be professional." Kant said with a smile, "What service is your country willing to buy?"

"For example, the reporting service, which is to search for and accurately specify the location of the other party. This is a service that has independent charging standards and is charged by the number of times."

"You know the location of the other party and send the horses to chop people, but it takes time for the horses to drive. Maybe when the people arrive, Griffin and the others will run away. Isn't it very grassy? At this time, you need logistics services to send your The traitor team and even the equipment phase are sent to the designated battlefield location to fight with the traitors, this is also a service - this service is charged according to the head and the number of times."

"After the fire broke out, your people couldn't cut it, they were cut to pieces, and they needed help urgently. At this time, you can call our company for help. This large service is more detailed and divided into many small projects."

"For example, summoning a Forbidden Spell Strike and summoning a powerful foreign aid to enter the arena, oh yes, do you want to buy the trauma team service package? That is to say, if the horses you send are going to be chopped up by Griffin, we can Use the emergency teleportation service to get him back..."

"-All right!"

Kalios's head was as big as a bucket, and he never thought that Kant could be such a...lively guy.

He sarcastically said: "Your Excellency, you seem to have assumed that Griffin and Phoeson will only continue to oppose the Council, so you are desperately trying to sell us your services, then when their target of attack turns to the far port , then who will pay for these expensive services?"

Kant whistled: "That can only let the attackers pay the bill - let's not talk about that Phaersson, as the former leader of your country, the value of Grand Speaker Griffin is not small, how to extract his residual value? After being drained, it can be used as waste and sold to the empire..."

He glanced at the increasingly stinky faces of everyone, and closed his mouth with a smile.

It's enough to make it clear to this extent.

Kant smiled slightly and stood up: "Okay, let's talk about this first today, Kalios executive, I hope you can calm down the chaotic situation as soon as possible, I'm waiting for your good news."

The executive was stunned for a moment: "The matter of Griffin and Phaeson..."

"I will track down and lock the location first, wait for you to calm down the situation and unify the forces of all parties, and then we will talk about the details of the joint attack." Kant shook his finger, "After all, the promise you made to me now is nothing but a Some empty checks, meaningless."

Kalios stood up with the help of the two mages: "But..."

"Those details, my best friend Councilor Oxington, will talk to you slowly."

"What?" The executive shook his body. "Member of Oxington?"

-best friend?

"yes."

Kant showed his snow-white teeth: "For the past six months, the Star Court has been against the Far Harbor. In the final analysis, it is the Grand Speaker Griffin who was instigated and seduced by the Star Palace, and led some greedy Ten Wu members to promote peaceful development. The Far Harbor has made some shameless attacks with no reason and no basis, this kind of behavior is unpopular, and it is firmly opposed by the people of the council."

"And I am happy to see that the general public is not the same as these politicians, and among the core members of the parliament, there are also people with conscience. Senator Oxington is one of them."

- You fart! Although I am not in the Starry Sky Court, I also know that among the core members, Oxington is an out-and-out hawk and has always advocated being hostile to you!

Karius' face twitched slightly.

Kant was full of emotion, blinking his big pure eyes, looking at Kalios - his eyes were very innocent, very clear, and at a glance, he knew that he had not been contaminated by knowledge.

He sighed: "Mr. Oxington is a good man! I don't want to join the ranks of the Ten No members, because I sympathize with the Azure Fleet sent to the front line, and I can't bear to see the relationship between the Council and the Far Harbor break down, so I volunteered to take over. Under the mission of dispatching to the far port, actively mediating, especially when Ilan-Tyr was blinded by the Star Palace God and attacked the Azure Fleet, Senator Oxington bravely fought side by side with the soldiers..."

Having said this, Kant added: "Oh, yes, considering Griffin's secret relationship with the Star Palace God, we have reason to believe that the Azure Fleet and the battle of Ilan-Tyr, also It may be the conspiracy of the Grand Chancellor - and after that incident, Senator Oxington was protected by our side, because I was worried that if he returned to Tulaxia Ye, he would be assassinated by Griffin..."

After bragging about Oxington, Kant concluded: "Now, as soon as the council is in turmoil, and there is even a danger of war, the Oxington Senator, who is dedicated to the country, doesn't even read a poem, so he returns directly. Your capital—of course he doesn't deserve it either, but that's not the point, the point is..."

His eyes swept across the faces of the gentlemen present.

"Member Oxington is the only remaining politician with conscience in the Starry Sky Court. Such a good member, the council will ensure his safety and prevent Griffin's remaining minions from having the opportunity to hurt him." He smiled. He said, "Really?"

After speaking, in this strange silence, Kant's figure disappeared into the splendid door of light.

The sanctuary was silent.

Angelos broke the silence: "He... is going to put his hand into the council?"

"It's already reached in." Executive Carius' eyes flickered, as if thinking about something, "However, we can also reach out to the far port... can't we?"

Director Neisha, who had been thinking about this and that, suddenly exclaimed: "Huh?"

The men looked over in dissatisfaction: "What's wrong?"

"…nothing."

"But..." Kalios looked at the huge gap in the wall of the sanctuary. It was the big hole knocked out by Phaethon. It was the most hideous wound in the Tower of All-Seeing, indicating the most embarrassing situation for the council today.

He felt the wind blowing from a height of several hundred meters: "...What a powerful person."

Kant.

The three giants of the Safety Committee, whether they are dissatisfied, angry, or fearful of Kant, they are all silent - Kalios said it is right, the performance of the Dragon of Aurora today is amazing.

Resolutely raided Tulaxiaye, pulled back the worst situation, beat Griffin and fled, and then expanded the victory in one go, intervened in the succession of the power of the council, mixed sand into the parliamentary system, and had a negative impact on the current world. The foreign powers launched a powerful blackmail, and all kinds of operations were carried out in one go.

"Griffin won't lose by picking such a person as his opponent."

When Karius said this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"And now I..."

He raised his hand and brushed the blood-stained front of his shirt. Kant pressed his hand here before to expel the deadly alien energy for him, and now the strange feeling has not dissipated.

The executive said silently: "I feel both fear and peace of mind."

Such a person is very scary as an opponent, but if it is a companion, it should be very reassuring.

Before he finished speaking, he heard a loud bang.

The executive raised his head suddenly, the loud noise came from the southeast, and when he looked closely, it was Saint Mann Square.

The familiar splendid blue light flickered and disappeared inside.

Kalios was stunned for a moment, and then cursed: "Kant! Bandit!"

He turned his head and said angrily: "Quick, quick! Griffin's residence! Manuscripts! Notes! And his students, assistants, confidants, and think tanks! All under control!"

The Big Three woke up like a dream, and just as they were about to act, they immediately thought of something.

"Executive," Angelos asked. "Does this mean an alliance?"

Kalios was silent for a long time after hearing the words, and then smiled sadly: "Sacred tradition..."

He shook his head violently, and then stretched out his hand: "Fuck... everyone, you all heard, let's join forces, too many enemies, too many challenges."

At the same time, the white fog world.

"I was finally found by Lao Tzu! These idiots didn't see that Lao Tzu was taking the opportunity to delay time!"

Kant laughed wildly.

Phaeson and Griffin, run and run, there is always a time to catch them. For Kant, chasing and besieging them is not a priority.

—The council won’t do anything, why should Marekis and the others go all out?

Moreover, rather than chasing these two goods, Kant is more concerned about the black technology that Griffin has tinkered with... the deceleration force field that can restrain the forbidden spell and even modern weapons.

While the force field was still on, Horus sent the drone to make a circle, assuming that the deceleration force field was a regular spherical shield, and then locked the center of the sphere, the area where the Age of God mechanism was located.

And when he negotiated with Karius and the others, the actual location was determined.

The last wave of raids, grabbing people, grabbing things, and taking them all away.

He looked at the comatose mages on the ground. Everyone was stuffed with hard pillars—paradox element crystals. They should have a lot of things to explain.

He looked at the God-era mechanism that was firmly on the ground again. All the magic energy circuits had been interrupted, and this thing did not continue to operate, but this strange and evil huge floating pyramid-shaped object still exuded a mysterious atmosphere. Things look very different from the arcane style of mortal civilizations.

He frowned and said, "A little familiar..."

Horus said lightly: "Tacitus."

Kant's expression trembled slightly.

He was silent for a while, thinking thoughtfully: "...In short, let's study the principle of this thing first to see if there is any technology that can be reversed, and also develop countermeasures."

Star Palace gave this technology to Griffin, and it is a good thing to use it now - otherwise, it will be a big loss for Kant if it is used when a war breaks out in the future.

He opens the door of phase and returns to the mortal world.

"We're safe."

Through the teleportation spell, Phaethon and Griffin escaped from Turaxia Ye, the clouds and mountains in the distance were covered with fog, and the plain was vast, and it was close to the border area between the Council and Goethe.

Phaersson roared loudly, his voice was turbulent, as if he was venting his emotions and dispelling his fears.

Griffin's face was ashen: "Stop shouting!"

He has yet to recover from his utter daze and bewilderment... From now on, he has become the most destructive traitor in the history of the Arcanist Council.

Phaerson wasn't angry—he wasn't.

Instead, he patted Griffin on the shoulder: "Congratulations, you don't even know how fortunate it is to be able to escape from such a desperate situation... This must be the blessing of the master."

Griffin dismissed his hand coldly: "Let me talk to Apophis!"

He stared at each other coldly: "The plan can barely continue to be launched, but the military force we can command and control, even with the help of the deceleration force field, cannot compete with Kant's army! You want us to be in the mortal world. Play a bigger role and fight Kant as much as possible, then you need more support from your star palace! Support! And support! Let me speak to Apophis!"
