Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds - Chapter 900

Ah, sick girl.

Kant looked at the emperor and suddenly had a headache.

Worse than when I first received that letter.

The emperor sat calmly on the throne, looking at the young man in front of him with a very interested expression.

Even as the co-owner of mankind, he never believed in the so-called fate, but at this moment he had to sigh, life is so magical, who can say clearly what will happen.

A year or two ago, Kant was just an ant that suddenly jumped out to him.

A few months ago, Kant was the enemy he had to pay attention to, care about, hostile to, and plot against.

But now, various factors have contributed to this result. He no longer holds murderous intentions and hostility towards this mysterious young man, replaced by more complex emotions.

Appreciation, love, curiosity, attention, love, expectation, sustenance.

Of course, there is also…

– Malicious.

But it doesn’t matter, he is very calm about all this, and the only thing that needs to be worried and troubled is this little guy on the opposite side – he is still very young, and he is disdainful of many fair truths in the world.

“…Wait a minute, wait a minute.”

Kant rubbed his forehead, spread his five fingers and pushed the emperor: “Let me stroke it, let me stroke it.”

“Give you time.” Otto II responded gracefully, “It is undeniable that our communication today is definitely one of the craziest things in the world. It took me months to figure out what I wanted, so I didn’t. Don’t expect you to take it right away—anyway, Kant, I’m happy.”

The Earthlings cast doubtful glances.

“Only you can understand, only you can accept, only you can agree…Only you deserve it.”

The supreme of the human race said proudly: “Don’t let me down.”

Kant shook his head: “Don’t be lyrical – I’ll start from the beginning.”

The emperor raised his chin slightly.

“First of all,” said the fire thief who still felt awkward, “You, prepare to treat me as the only heir, cooperate with me to harvest the leeks of the nobles of the whole continent, do your best to support me against the Star Palace, and even take the power of the entire empire. , entrust me with strength and wealth, and be the best daddy?”

Otto II nodded and said, “That’s true.”

“Then you, don’t ask for anything in return – at least not materially. You don’t ask for increased power and territorial expansion, you don’t need the protection and security that I promise, don’t mind me reaching into your power – dammit , it sounds good to me now.”

Kant shuddered and continued: “In short, on this issue, you are ready to remove all selfishness, precaution, insidiousness, cruelty, ruthlessness and other qualities of a qualified ruler, even at the cost of cutting off your blood, but also to put this Give me all the power of the country?”

“On the issue of bloodline, I still hope that you can marry at least one of my daughters, and let the bloodline that belongs to me originate from you spread to the world… After all, I am still a living creature, with the instinct and appeal to reproduce.”

Otto II smiled and said: “On this basis, my answer is – yes, I don’t need any material reward, because I have already received the reward that I deserve.”

The corner of Kant’s mouth twitched: “…that is, fun and pleasure?”

“I think I’ve said it before, I have no desire for living beings anymore, the power of the empire is just a burden to me, I have been fighting, grabbing, controlling and exploiting all my life, and now I want to use ordinary father’s Identity enjoys the pleasure and feeling of giving unconditionally.”

“Beyond that, I would like to see some changes.”

“Change?”

“Yes, change.” The emperor’s smile was filled with ridicule. “I am the supreme emperor. When I read the history books and overlook the mortal world, I will find that this world has been the same for thousands of years.”

“The same domination, exploitation, numbness, scramble, greed, filth and sin.”

“The most murderous is hunger, the most tragic and disgusting is war, desire is rampant, and under the appearance of faith, honor, and morality, there is the exchange, annexation and competition of interests.”

“Whether it’s a shabby pariah or a so-called aristocrat, it’s like a dog, sad and boring.”

“The Druids improved the grains, the caster clusters began to adjust the climate on a large scale, and the mechanical puppets participated in the farming. The current grain production is several times that of a hundred years ago, but the proportion of hungry people has never decreased.”

“The way of Austrian law has been innovated year after year, but it has either become a tool for Might and Magic to make money, or it has become a more efficient weapon of suppression. Magic has always been a tool for plundering wealth and maintaining violence.”

“A hundred years ago, civilians and even slaves could become pioneer knights and change their destiny. Now, except for the far port, there is no such thing at all.”

Otto II smiled grimly, as if he was cursing, and he also seemed to be spurning.

“Kant, this world is worse than it was a hundred years ago.”

His tone was so confident that Kant didn’t even have the slightest suspicion.

Because there is no doubt… this topic, the emperor has the most say.

The earthman looked at the co-owner of the human race and sighed: “I can’t imagine that the biggest exploiter, oppressor and ruler in the world would have such a thought, that the sporadic flashes of great ideas burst out in the most impossible brain. In, one has to sigh the absurdity of the world.”

The emperor was startled.

“Great idea?” He then came back to his senses, shook his head and said, “Don’t make a mistake, I’m not you.”

“I always thought that a pariah should have the appearance of a pariah, be able to farm the land, do things, not starve to death, endure oppression, shut up when it’s unfair, keep awe of the officials and laws I assign, and marry in a low voice Daughter-in-law, then have more children, children and grandchildren, and work hard for the goals I set for them – if you can maintain loyalty on this basis, it will be even better.”

When the emperor said this, he snorted: “Like you, give the untouchables strength, dignity, promise, and a future, let them broaden their horizons, have knowledge, and awaken their minds, and one day they will make a big mess.”

Kant raised his eyebrows, showing dissatisfaction.

“You don’t have to argue with me about this. I have decided to give this country to you. You can change it to what you want in the future. History will tell you who is right and who is wrong, and you will bear the consequences yourself.”

“As for me? Don’t think about it. I won’t change my opinion, and you shouldn’t even think about changing my opinion. I think, you will still give this level of freedom and power, right?”

Kant just groaned.

Seeing his dissatisfaction, the emperor laughed and said, “Like a child… Kant, I have come to a conclusion based on my knowledge, experience and experience over the past few decades. I suggest you listen carefully.”

He knocked on the table, and his tone became stern: “Whether farmers, beggars, hard laborers, scholars, nobles or merchants, whether they are imperial people or your bright and splendid Far Harbor people, their soul essence is not any different, most of them are Twisted **** and boring idiots, and only a few are human.”

“—After my observation and estimation, the former accounts for about 80%.”

Kande said indifferently: “Then you still want to change?”

“I don’t want to change anyone’s destiny, I just want to make the world different.” The emperor smiled indifferently, “Good changes are fine, bad changes are even better.”

“Either you follow through on your beliefs from beginning to end, even in the face of the degeneration of your former comrades and the degeneration of people’s hearts, you will not change your original intentions, and strive to usher in a new era for this boring and rotten world.”

“Either you, after recognizing the ugly nature of the world, choose to fight darkness with darkness and stop evil with evil, then the whole world’s twisted **** and boring idiots will scream and tremble under your iron hoofs, and they will all be best suited for them. You will spend your whole life in the position of the emperor, and you will build a huge empire that all emperors have dreamed of since ancient times. Iron blood, high efficiency, centralized power… Isn’t that good too?”

Kant stared at the emperor for a long time, and finally pointed to his head.

“You’re not normal here.”

“I’ve been abnormal for a long time.” The emperor laughed. “I’ve ruled a rotten and dead country for decades. If the empire is still like a ghost in the next hundred years, it will be boring.”

“So you chose me?”

“You are so suitable.”

“You said that you don’t want to choose a heir as your heir, because you are afraid that he will be a white-eyed wolf in the future and bite you back…” Kant said solemnly, “Aren’t you afraid that I will kill you in the future?”

“Not afraid.”

“Why?”

“I believe you won’t. You are a nostalgic and soft-hearted person. I will cooperate with your career and give away everything I have. As long as you don’t do things that challenge your bottom line, you won’t kill me.”

“The emperor’s trust…” Kant sneered, noncommittal, “What if?”

“In that case…” The emperor laughed instead, “I’ll probably be very happy.”

Kant’s eyes are not only on mental illness.

“I’m sure I won’t step on your bottom line – so if you kill me, it can only mean that due to certain things, your thoughts and views have changed, you have the heart of an emperor, you have betrayed who you used to be, and you have lost your soul Dyeing it black introduces suspicion, cold blood and brutality into your character.”

“and then?”

“Then…” the emperor let out a breath, “you will be ravaged.”

“You will ignite the endless anger that has been accumulated in your heart, you will ravage the world, you will ravage the Star Palace, you will ravage…” He looked into Kant’s eyes and said, “…your world. “

“You will make some people scream, or everyone will be like this, and you can make the eternal nightmare sweep across the three worlds. Even if I die-” the emperor showed a weird smile, “I will be very happy.”

The two stared at each other for a long time.

Kant took a deep breath and said categorically, “You’re thinking about shit!”

“That being the case, this is a sure-fire bet.”

The emperor smiled at Kant and slowly stretched out his hand.

“I use the empire as a fund to make a bet and bet with you on the future destiny of the mortal world.” He smiled enthusiastically, “Since you think you will definitely win, why not take the biggest bet in the history of this mortal world?”

Kant stared at the hand for a while.

With a flick of his hand, he hit the opponent’s palm.

A crisp snap.

The emperor seemed to have foreseen all of this. He smiled the same, and said directly: “Then let’s run in first, and I will let you know that what I said is true.”

Kant seemed relieved.

He said, “Selling land to nobles requires your cooperation.”

“It’s easy.” The emperor asked directly, without blinking his eyes, “Such a big battle, what you want to scrape is definitely not only the human kingdoms, right? The Arcane Council, even the elves and dragons.”

Kant nodded: “Yes, wealth is meaningful only when it is circulated and used. Resources need to be used centrally and used in the right way to avoid inefficiency and waste.”

“The occupation and control of the Northern Council is coming to an end. After this is over, my prestige will reach such a height that the nations will no longer dare to underestimate it. Taking advantage of this great victory, I intend to hold an international summit in Far Harbor. , set some things down, and this is the second thing I want to discuss with you.”

When he said this, he said solemnly, “I hope you can come and agree with my proposal.”

The emperor said warmly: “Of course… It is the responsibility of the parents to support the cause of the child.”

Kant frowned slightly: “Let’s talk about it first, although I don’t agree with some of your ideas and perceptions, you have won my respect for the mind, thought, determination and will you have shown as a monarch of a country. age, and respect you with the etiquette of elders, I can do it, but now you have to call yourself my father, I’m really sorry, I can’t accept it.”

“I’m going to give this country to you.”

The emperor exaggeratedly said: “You don’t even want to call me dad?”

“First of all, I am not accepting your country for personal power and pleasure, everything is for repelling the star palace and protecting mortal beings including you, so at this point, I have no morals The burden.” Kant said lightly, “Secondly, you haven’t given it yet.”

“Awkward and stubborn child, is this the legendary period of rebellion?” The emperor was a little interested. “I heard that children will be like this when they grow up to a certain age, and some ministers’ children have made troubles like this.”

“Unfortunately, when I was your age, when I stood in front of my father, I didn’t dare to breathe, let alone a period of rebelliousness. I could only try to figure out what the old man meant to meet and destroy my competitors. Many times , I have to copy some inexplicable **** and weird words day and night…”

Otto II sighed: “The experience of my children is probably the same.”

The awkward, stubborn child listened quietly, noncommittal.

After the emperor finished speaking, he looked at him, and after a while, he laughed instead.

“What smirk?” Kant frowned.

“I’m laughing, human beings are amazing, and I may not be normal.” The emperor shook his head and said, “Looking at you more and more pleasing to the eye… I can hear countless flattering words every day, and I only feel disgusted, but just now you said I won your respect, and I was so happy that I even ignored your repeated rejections.”

“No one in this country dares not to listen to every word I say, and I take it for granted, but just now or even earlier, no matter what I said, you would listen quietly, no matter what I said or not. Agree that you’ll listen… I’m so happy about it.”

Kant didn’t know how to respond, just shrugged.

“Okay, I promise you…all in all. I will go to the Far Harbor to attend the summit to help you, and I will not be persistent in being your father for the time being, because I have felt your respect.”

The emperor smiled so leniently that Kant sighed that this middle-aged man, who had not seen much old age, turned out to be his greatest potential enemy and challenge in the mortal world in the past two years.

Fate is really unpredictable.

“Let’s get down to business…Are you going to sell the land to elves and dragons too?”

Kant heard the words and replied: “My land in another world is rare, safe, rare, and far from war and destruction. Therefore, it is expensive, rare, and requires a huge price to pay. What you get is worth paying a very high price for.”

He said this with a sly light in his eyes.

“That’s why,” he added, “that’s why it’s worth giving away.”

The emperor was startled, clapped his hands and laughed.

He laughed for a while, and then asked: “Do you know the price and plan of the land sale?”

This question has the meaning of testing and teaching – in the emperor’s view, although this leek plan is amazing, those leeks that are growing vigorously are not without fire, and they will definitely not let you be obedient.

If you want to eat this piece of meat, you must have a detailed plan, careful layout, and decisive means. Let the emperor operate, but also take your time and think carefully. Kant, who lacks political means, let him now Speaking of plans, it must be very crude. At this time, it is his elder’s turn to teach…

“Grass, then I know too much.”

Kant was directly excited. He sat opposite the emperor, and this started: “First of all, why do you want to buy a house… I mean buying land, two words, just need it!”

“Then, why do they think it’s just a need? Of course it’s propaganda! Moisturizing propaganda! The oasis under the disaster of the world, the ideal land far away from the world, the hope of fire for future generations… All arrangements! Hype , campaign, advertising, and the threat of the star palace is free publicity!”

“All supporting measures must be arranged! It’s expensive for a reason!”

“Attracting investment! You can grant land! If you have the ability to build a golem factory over there, there is a lot of loans! If you take the land, you dare to hold it and wait for it to be sold later. I will hang it on the street lights!”

Kant started talking about these routines incessantly, making the emperor stupid!

“…Let’s sell it? Why should we let it go! A group of pickled goods, dog-like things, are also worthy of buying my land? Go to the lottery! You can only buy it if you win the lottery!”

“Suppressing the second-hand trade? What a joke, of course it will be fired, and I will also enter the market, the fool’s money will not be made for nothing! Besides, if the second-hand price is not fired to the sky, how can the fool think that this thing is valuable ?”

“Evil? What kind of evil is this. War bonds against Star Palace, concept stocks of Star Palace technology, virtual currency that can be used as a refuge certificate for entering the Sanctuary… I mean the redemption coins, aren’t they all listed? If it weren’t for the poor ghosts who were afraid of the leek coming to join in the fun, I would have arranged all of them!”

“…”

When the Emperor Muran took the fourth bottle of Coke handed over by Kant, there was even a small blackboard in front of him, which was full of ghost characters.

Kant has already talked about the “welfare housing system” and the “excellent talent introduction plan”.

Around the upcoming Far Harbor International Summit, an evil net is slowly shrouding down.

Otto II had already seen Kant’s plan.

Far Harbor will become the power engine of the mortal world, and this “Real Estate Salvation” plan will become a powerful pump, pumping out the freshest fuel from all parts of the mortal world, including talents, wealth, wisdom and technology, into this engine continuously. , burst out the terrifying power against the star palace!

And, most importantly.

Unless the Star Palace never invades the mortal world, every time they attack the mortal world, the pump will be pumped harder, the engine will be turned more violently, and the leeks will be willing!

“I will also invite the great nobles who have huge resources and human and material resources in the mortal world, and invite them to participate in the development of shelters, the establishment of settlements, and the construction of cities and settlements.”

Kant faintly said: “They will definitely put most of their resources into the shelter, especially when the threat of the star palace has been confirmed… I will reveal to them that if the star palace is powerful and the mortal world is irresistible, then the mortal beings, They will try their best to migrate to this new world. At that time, the sanctuary they have built will bring them unimaginable power and wealth… Ha.”

Even the emperor was a little chilled.

But faintly, he was even more excited.

He swallowed his drink and asked, “What if someone doesn’t go according to your plan?”

“Um?”

“Not willing to buy your land, only willing to provide you with less support, only willing to stay at home, not going anywhere… What are you going to do with such a goal?”

“Then there’s no need to say that?” Kant said without hesitation, “They must have something to do with Star Palace.”

He said: “The kings of the mortal world support me, the strongest force in the continent is in our hands, and even the wealth, we have the advantage – the Otto Triangle, we all have an overwhelming advantage, when the general trend has been achieved, when When all my plans and arrangements are well executed, the world has to choose to believe this sanctuary myth and do everything possible to make sure it doesn’t get busted.”

After speaking, Kant glanced at the dazed emperor: “What?”

“I can’t imagine.” The emperor said blankly, “What will you be like when you become a slut.”

Kant was stunned for a moment and laughed.

“Looks like I’ve convinced you.”

“It just scared me.”

“For specific issues, we will discuss it behind closed doors when we wait for the summit. This plan requires the cooperation and approval of the mortal kings, and also requires a large number of people to implement it. This is also the purpose of the summit.”

Kant said indifferently: “The resources are concentrated, the technology is concentrated, the personnel are concentrated… We will set up an organization, and the forces will inject capital and send personnel to fight against the star palace.”

The emperor asked, “What organization?”

Kant responded: “GDI! Global Defense Organization!”

“…What name? It’s a bit strange.” The emperor wrote lightly, “You need to change your habit of randomly naming names. This naming issue should be discussed at the summit. Speaking of which, have you forgotten something?”

Kant thought hard for a while: “I also mentioned the property tax… Forgot what?”

The emperor sighed: “Alex.”

“Oh, that wild bird.” Kant suddenly said, “Send a global bounty and sea capture documents. After I caught it, I personally cut him, and the matter between us is even.”

His tone was calm.

That’s right, when planning such a shocking plan, the eldest prince, Alex, is indeed an inconspicuous pawn…

Otto II shook his head and said, “That won’t work.”

Kant was stunned, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the cold light was awe-inspiring: “What?”

“Don’t look at me like that – if the empire makes an announcement saying that the first prince has defected, it will be a blow to the reputation of the empire. If you openly issue a bounty document, you will be madly fanning the face of the empire. Although it is you who slapped us in the face. , I don’t really care, but people inside the empire will.”

“If you take over power from me in the future, the faction loyal to me will have thorns in their hearts when they think of what happened today, let alone other factions. This is not conducive to the unity of power and the gathering of people’s hearts…”

The emperor spoke slowly: “Of course, if you think it doesn’t matter, you’ll be fine, even if there is an internal chaos like a council in the empire, that’s up to you.”

Kant lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, “Just say it directly, where is the crux of the problem?”

“It’s very easy to fix this.”

The emperor raised a finger: “It’s nothing more than a question of name – between you and me, first set the name, so that you can be the successor that I have identified and favored, and will be defeated by Alex’s failure. The fleeing enemy launched an attack and reckoning, and with this name in place, it is logical that no one can fault it.”

Kant said suddenly: “I knew, you still want to be my father!”

“No way.”

The emperor said calmly: “Since I promised you, I won’t think about it for the time being—don’t you regard me as a respected elder? You can’t refuse if the elder wants to marry your daughter to you.”

He raised his chin and gestured: “Let’s be more relaxed today, I will call all my children to this study, you can pick one or a few and take them away, and the rest will be hacked to death here. Save yourself the fuss later.”
