Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

What was the reason for intervening in the Song Moon War and fighting for Goethe?

Kant has made it very clear before.

But whether it is for revenge or admiration for the blood and resistance of the Goethe people, the experience along the way, the motivation for stepping into Goethe's territory, including this series of world-shaking forbidden spells, breakthroughs, turning the tide, strategic deterrence and victory, after all. has a source.

That's that person's sacrifice.

That night in Huisha Town, swords and shadows, familiar people kept dying, betrayed, fled, and even sacrificed. The shock, overturn and shock that this night brought him almost reshaped Kant's personality.

The first kill.

Betrayed.

Life and death crisis.

Realize that being weak is not good, it is just powerless to do evil.

Because of naivety and gullibility, he killed a friend.

For the first time, someone died to protect him.

The death of the knight directly led to the complete collapse of his psychological defense line, and the psychological pressure accumulated in the lonely drifting in another world for more than a year broke out. One by one, they gradually entered the **** abyss.

But in the final disciplinary action, because the shadow of a knight flashed in his heart, he did not allow himself to be completely degraded. Although this caused him not to abolish Lost's ability to act in the first place, he was instead cursed by the opponent with the weapon of God. Killed, but the divine power carried by that dagger opened the door to seal the two worlds, so that Kant finally returned to the earth... Fate, even more fate.

In the final analysis, it all stemmed from Cleveland's last exhortation. Even if he died, he fought side by side with Kant in another way and guided him on the way home.

And he also fulfilled his promise, protecting Tina for the knight and Goethe for him.

In the red sky of Danfeng Lucerne that day, the wings of steel whistled in the sky, he overlooked the city from the sky, and finally came to the hometown of Cleveland, which he never forgot. The feeling, but it really exists, crossed time and space, fulfilled the promise, and I came here to fight for your motherland with you.

It was Cleveland who made Kant.

When Kant was most confused, collapsed, and desperate, he used his life to give Kant the meaning of living, even after Kant returned home, even if everything on the earth did not go away, even if Kant never lost anything - but the knight's The soul and will have long been integrated into Kant's blood, becoming his guide in his conduct, life and battle, continuing his life in another way.

so.

As long as Kant's soul has not deteriorated, as long as he will still move for the brave, draw his sword for the unyielding, stand up for the protesters, and help the strong, as long as he will still protect the weak who are bullied, as long as he will still be punished for injustice Anger, that every time he fights to practice his beliefs, he will definitely remember that night that will never be forgotten, and he will definitely remember what the knight said to him.

As long as this is the case, as long as the figure of that person does not fade from memory, Kant will remember Cleveland's obsession and enthusiasm, the country and people he wants to protect, and the goodwill will not be cut off.

Tina must not understand this kind of thing.

After the knight left, except for Kant himself, no one in this world knew what happened to Huisha during that time, and did not know what Kant experienced at that time.

What have you chosen, what has been ushered in.

I don't know what Cleveland means to Kant.

He followed the agreement, fulfilled his promise, saved the princess and saved Goethe.

He is omnipotent, intimidating Muyue, and fighting the expedition forces alone to force a cease-fire. He is not afraid, and he is not afraid to face the most powerful and terrifying country in the world... But he still has things to fear.

He was afraid to meet the family in Cleveland.

But it must be seen.

The death of the knight had a great relationship with him. When the knight was dying, he was the only person who stayed by the other side. He should go to see the other side's family.

Even if it's more difficult than anything.

Tina took Kant's hand.

Even the gorilla didn't object, just held the other side tightly.

The princess looked at Kant's sad expression. Obviously, it was not as simple as losing a close friend. The death of the knight obviously had more and deeper meanings and memories for Kant, but she knew nothing and did not understand, because After the reunion, Huisha's topic was still a taboo between the two.

Whether it was the death of the knight, or something else.

Kant didn’t want Tina to know his revenge for the murder in Huisha Town, and Tina didn’t want Kant to know that after she went back, she strangled the last survivor and digged the cemetery of the Goode family.

Neither want to let each other know the pain of the old days.

But the emotions are still the same, after all, I miss and reminisce the same people.

"Let's go together."

Her tone was light and firm.

Kant looked at her with a helpless tone and a confused expression: "Is it okay now?"

Two days ago, the battle of Danfeng and Lucerne had just come to an end, and Kant, surrounded by the crowd, kept thinking about going to visit the knight's family. Archduke Riel, ask him to show him a way.

But it didn't get what he wanted.

The father of the knight is Prime Minister Goethe, the chief executive of the Principality. During the war of annihilation, the Prime Minister is in charge of officials, coordinating the operation of various departments in Danfeng Lucerne, transferring materials, dispatching municipal officials, and is responsible for reserve replenishment, medical assistance, food supply, and supplies. In addition to a series of tasks such as transportation, firefighting and saving people, as the war progresses, the Prime Minister also has new tasks.

That is to maintain Goethe's last glory and dignity when the city is broken.

This kind of continuous high-intensity mental work for 20 to 30 hours is unbearable for anyone. The Grand Duke received the news that after the war was won, the Prime Minister could not support it and fainted, but he was just overworked and did not Seriously, both the medical officer and the pastor said it would be good to take a rest.

So Kant can only postpone the visit plan.

Early the next morning, I wanted to find someone to find out if the Prime Minister was awake.

If you wake up, go visit.

Unexpectedly, the Prime Minister woke up earlier than him, and immediately went to work after waking up.

After the war, Danfeng Lucerne was busy everywhere, counting casualties, distributing food, pensions, rewards, repairing damaged buildings, preventing epidemics, not to mention coordinating the operation of the entire country's government affairs, recovering and handing over the country. , the follow-up negotiation with the elves, the transfer of materials, the maintenance of order, the foreign affairs and internal affairs... Just thinking about it, I feel that the head is like a fight, and the specific government affairs are a hundred times more troublesome.

Kant couldn't shamelessly go to the Prime Minister's Office in the Privy Council, forcibly interrupt the urgent government approval, and let all the officials go out first, because he wants to cry with the Prime Minister for a while.

As for going straight to the knight's house...

Obviously the worse option.

If the Prime Minister was in the Privy Council and Conder went straight to his home in Cleveland...

Then he will face a mother who has lost her son alone.

The thought of that picture made his soul tremble, and he lost all his courage in an instant.

Because before the knight died, he called his mother.

"I…"

He was a little shaken.

What to do, what to say, what to do.

Tina said softly, "Then don't go."

"…Do not."

After a long silence, Kant still shook his head.

"do not go."

He whispered, "At least I want his parents to know..."

Knowing that their son's sacrifice made sense.

And the blood of knights will never be shed in vain.

It is possible to visit the Prime Minister today. This is the information Tina got from the Archduke this morning.

Last night, the Privy Council was busy until late at night, and Archduke Goethe personally issued an decree, ordering officials headed by the Prime Minister who worked more than 15 hours to go home and rest immediately, and were not allowed to leave their homes before ten o'clock in the morning.

The Grand Duke really sent someone to watch.

And such orders, the guards and servants of the Prime Minister's residence will obey.

If you go now, you can see it.

They found three cloaks to hide their tracks, rode in the carriage of the palace, removed the sign of Teddariel, left the secret door behind the palace, and went to the Prime Minister's official residence. There were only three people, Kant and Tina, and Aang served as bodyguards. , Today, the security of Kant and the Teddaril family is the top priority.

The coachman was a reliable guardian of Goethe's court for generations, taciturn, whose task was to drive and sacrifice himself in times of crisis, without saying a word along the way.

There was also silence in the carriage, with the gorilla on the left and Tina on the right. They were both stunning in the world, and the fragrance of the secluded fragrance was refreshing, but Kant didn't have any thoughts of looking at it from afar and playing with it.

Tina was understanding and said softly, "Don't worry too much, Uncle Cid and Aunt Anne are very good people. I went there after I came back. They also comforted me, so don't think about it..."

Kant forced a smile.

"It's not your fault, Kant, you've done a good job, with his share..."

Tina's tone was a little low, but in front of Kant, she could only fight hard.

Cleveland is her guardian knight and her friend since childhood. Even to the bottom of it, on the night of Huisha, the princess asked the knight to protect Kant. Then, Cleveland fulfilled this last order with her life. Na was still unable to let go.

The carriage was driving, and through the window, the mottled city walls could be seen outside. The indiscriminate bombardment of the elves left scars in the city. It may take a long time to clear the wounds of the war.

Modern ideas, modern technology, modern materials... What can I do?

Kant was distracted, thinking that the destination was getting closer and closer, so he was apprehensive. Tina held his hand. He felt that the princess' hand was shaking slightly, and the girl's heart was not calm.

Like Kant, she is restless, confused and sad.

The taste of victory is not entirely joyful and sweet.

Because there are those who have not seen victory, those who have passed away.

The carriage slowly slowed down and stopped.

The body squeaked lightly.

Kant's heart was also shocked.

"Three."

The driver spoke for the first time and opened the door. Kant was the first to get out of the car and looked forward. The high courtyard wall stretched all the way. There was a group of people wearing Goethe official uniforms standing at the gate, who were listening intently at this time. , listening to the speech of a gray-haired middle-aged man surrounded by him.

Every now and then someone nods in approval, or cheers, or applauds, or agrees.

"That's Uncle Cid, Goethe's Prime Minister." Tina whispered, "And his followers, students and cronies... According to the time, they are here to wait for Uncle Cid to go to the Privy Council with him."

political faction.

Such words popped out of Kant's mind.

Prime Minister of a country...

This is the Prime Minister's official residence, and the security is very tight. Soon, the guards noticed the suspicious carriage parked nearby. There was a mage approaching quickly in the sky, and several cavalrymen also rushed over.

The coachman gave the order of Goethe's court, and the cavalry also recognized Princess Tina and saw Kant's face that belonged to Aurora - so his face quickly flushed, and he gave a military salute excitedly.

Kant said softly, "I'm here to visit Mr. Prime Minister."

The news of the guards caused a commotion among the officials of the Prime Minister's faction. Soon, the Prime Minister said a few words to calm them all down. Under the watchful eyes of Kant and others, Prime Minister Xide came out more and more, alone. One person, walking towards the carriage, smiled and waved.

Tina and Kant breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Then quickly greeted him.

"your Highness."

After approaching, Kant saw the Prime Minister's face clearly and carefully.

Worthy of being Cleveland's father, he can indeed give birth to such a son, the charm of an old man, silent, firm, mature, and he looks gentle and refined. He has restrained the sharpness of his youth, and replaced it with one who has been tempered by years and experience, silent. , firm yet sleek power.

There is no such thing as arrogance or majesty, and his expression is calm and generous, as if he is a learned and wise man, rather than a high-ranking minister who holds the power of a country. He looks harmless to humans and animals, but no matter who it is, he will not look down on him He, will not ignore his voice and opinions...

"your Highness."

He smiled and nodded to Tina, then looked at Kant.

That calm, elegant and broad smile made Kant a little dazed.

The person in front of him looked like a middle-aged knight.

"I guess you must be His Royal Highness Kant."

The Prime Minister stretched out his hand, lowered his body, and said respectfully: "I haven't had time to say thank you to you. It was a great battle. You protected this country, and each of us is grateful."

Kant immediately shook his hands and said in a low voice, "Please don't say that, Mr. Prime Minister, I deserve it, some people are more worthy of thanks than me, those who sacrificed for this country."

Prime Minister Cid was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Indeed, for this victory, we have lost too many warriors, and Goethe will remember their contributions..."

- A strange feeling rose in Kant's heart.

He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm here this time..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Prime Minister glanced at his pocket watch, and said apologetically, "Pardon me for being unreasonable, Mr. Kant, you are here at a wrong time. The restraining order of Mr. Archduke has been lifted, and I should go to work, you know. , Danfeng Lucerne's work is piled up like a mountain, and many things need to be dealt with urgently. I can't have the same powerful strength as you to protect Goethe, I can only do what I can do..."

As he said that, he laughed.

Tina's face changed slightly.

And the Prime Minister's eyes fell on Kant's face again.

"Again, are you here for me? The presence of Goethe's guardian has indeed surprised me. Is there anything I can do for you? Your Highness Kant?"

His smile was warm, polite, and full of gratitude.

Indeed, he saved Danfeng Lucerne, saved Goethe, saved the lives of many Goethes, and repelled the elf expedition. Today, Kant, in this city, is no different from a god.

only…

Kant's expression became unnatural.

He said softly, "You don't have to be so polite. I am a friend of Cleveland. I came here today as a junior to visit my friend's father. You don't have to be so polite."

The Prime Minister's eyes narrowed.

He looked at Kant, and slowly, his eyes became cold and sneering.

The warm and grateful smile slowly faded from his face.

"Father's identity...is it?"

The tone is somewhat playful.

Prime Minister Cid looked at Kant, turned his eyes, and looked at Tina.

The real emotion is slowly revealed.

Half of the tiredness on his face is the form of daily work, and the other half is the grief of losing his son in middle age.

At this moment, the smoothness and decency of politicians have been removed, and they are just a father who has lost his son.

"I understand."

"Then my son is dead," he said.

The tone is calm and cold.

"You—why are you still alive?"
