Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

The next day, a distant passenger arrived from the east, the sea breeze was strong, and the port was bustling under the sky.

The densely crowded crowd looked up, the news spread very quickly, from a distant overseas, an envoy from the country of the East was here.

All the Far Harbor people remembered the old days from generation to generation, and this time they had more reasons to watch, because it was the messenger of the Aurora Emperor, just to visit His Royal Highness Kant.

In addition to being curious, they were even a little scared.

If Emperor Aurora invites His Highness Kant to return to China, what will happen to Far Harbor?

Curiosity mixed with anxiety, people whispered, buzzing, rumors and speculation, and in taverns, construction sites, barracks, and restaurants, everyone listened around the radio, even the loudest tavern was full at this time. Silence, people are afraid to hear a word less.

"After more than a month, the messenger from Aurora finally arrived at the far port, bringing greetings and gifts from the Aurora Emperor. Now, Aurora's court officials have come aboard with the emperor's handwritten documents. We can see that, His Royal Highness Kant walked onto the pier accompanied by Minister Dong Tianming and Mayor Hong San..."

"...Can't you say what we want to hear?"

Tex's soft murmur broke the silence, replaced by a glare.

The bounty hunter nicknamed Crazy Shark once enthusiastically participated in the evacuation of the Broken Isles and contributed to the cause of sheltering refugees. He was ambitious and tried to exchange the fruits of his labor for a radio, but his hard work failed him. under the turntable.

Even if he reported the spy hidden in the crowd and sent him to the police station bravely, Mr. Tex did not receive a radio reward, after all, one yard is one yard.

But he also reaped real benefits—his social credit rating was boosted, allowing him to apply for more positions, such as site manager, sheriff, security captain at Sigoethe, among others. In addition, he can also receive a job from the city hall as a bounty hunter.

As a reward for his bravery and catching spies, he was also given four gifts.

A pennant, needless to say.

There is also a pipe engraved with the words "Be brave for righteousness - a gift from Kant", a heavy portable special hand crossbow with the words "Two or five boys will be headshot", and two large bags of adult diapers.

In addition to the fourth, which is too strange, the first three are undoubtedly bragging and showing off, which makes Tex less painful for breaking the Europa Carousel, and His Royal Highness's generous thank you also convinced him that the Europa Carousel is very It is fair, it must be the wrong posture and timing of the rotation.

Therefore, the pipe and the crossbow stayed with him for a while, and he often took them out when he was drinking to force him. He regarded the astonishing number of diapers as paper underwear, and they were quite comfortable to wear. He was used to the life in the far port and decided not to leave. I even considered whether to join the army... I haven't decided yet.

But there is no doubt that he has become a loyal supporter of His Royal Highness Kant...whatever it is.

"I heard people say that someone saw that there are many beautiful Aurora chicks on the boat..." He broke the silence and said mysteriously, "The emperor of Aurora is a young queen."

"Oh oh oh oh!"

Everyone was amazed, and Qi Qi showed a tacit smile. Everyone had no feeling about whether the Aurora people would come or not. The only thing they worried about was whether Aurora would call His Highness Kant back. The topic I really liked was this kind of gossip— The Aurora Emperor is a woman, will she talk to His Royal Highness Kant...

The Goethes in the tavern looked ugly.

First came the Elf Empress, and then came the Aurora Empress. No matter how you looked at it, it was not good.

However, as a port city, Yuangang has a complex population. In the past few months, the expansion of Yuangang has brought a new look to the city, strong export of goods, integration of population, and a large influx of people. The ethnic composition in the tavern has become diverse. Many People didn't care and talked about His Highness's private gossip with a smile.

Some elf said that his grandfather witnessed the private meeting between His Royal Highness Kant and the elf queen at night, and he was so frightened that he almost lost his soul. Some Goethe people said that his third sister heard that His Royal Highness Kant and Princess Tina were progressing gratifyingly. The immigrant said that his uncle listened to the Navy and that His Highness Kant got together with a naval commander. The woman ran there, not knowing what she was doing...

Everyone clicked their tongues and sighed at the colorful life of His Royal Highness Kant. Suddenly they heard a loud bang, and they turned their heads to look in shock.

A greenskin put the wooden cup on the table and shouted: "Dajiba doesn't like travelers! Dajiba only likes to fry! Dajiba only likes to take us waaaaaagh to Gan people!"

Everyone scoffed and laughed.

After a short burst of laughter, they gradually became quiet and listened to the real-time report of the Far Harbor People's Broadcasting Station: "... Brave warriors, powerful Talismans, wise counselors, dexterous craftsmen, and visitors from the eastern country disembarked one after another. , came to the beautiful Far Harbor, they are about to integrate into this new big family, and work together for His Royal Highness Kant and a better future..."

"what…"

The man dressed as a scholar put down the card in his hand and said softly, "I'm here to help."

Everyone didn't speak, and their strange eyes turned to the few people present. They were more or less related to the council... There were explorations and doubts in their eyes.

The immigrant from the council angrily slapped the ID card on the table: "Look, I'm already a Far-Hong Kong person! If the Star Chamber dares to fight, then I will be the first to sign up for the army and fight them back!"

Maybe it was to cover up the silence and embarrassment just now, or maybe it was because they were afraid of being labeled as "discriminatory and exclusionary", everyone laughed and raised their glasses, skipping the paragraph just now, everyone cursed: "Ten no members of the parliament make trouble all day long. Isn't it enough to be taught by His Royal Highness Kant!"

In the past few months, the mutual scolding between the council and the far port has finally turned into a trade war, and even the entire Goethe has been affected. Everyone was very upset when the contents of the sanctions and the arrogant dynamics of the council were reported here.

Although these civilians are far away from the decision-making level, not even in the system, and are ignorant of the incident and the inside story, they can still smell the approaching wind and rain, as well as the strange attitude of the world towards the Far Harbor... At this moment, It is really good news that the Aurora mission has arrived from the east.

"Obviously sending troops to help fight... The talismans and warriors from the east are all very powerful forces."

Someone invited a DIO cocktail, and the scholars who came to Far Harbor to investigate and tour toasted their glasses to thank them, and then said a few more words: "His Royal Highness Kant's alchemy and forbidden spells are so powerful, I heard that Aurora is suffering from war, this time the mission is here. , should be the premise of some kind of covenant... Aurora Emperor, there should be a canonization."

This remark made everyone think about it again - what is the seal?

It's been a long time... It's really hard for the guard boy of Zhuge Liang's family...

On the pier, everyone is looking at it. Kant smiled and looked at the **** opposite. The **** with white beard and hair, handsome and good-looking, unfolded the imperial decree and read it in cadence. The voice was mellow and calm. sissy.

Although the content of this imperial decree is parallel and colorful, many of which cannot be understood, but Kant can still understand the content of the canonization of Queen Aurora.

That is, to give Kant the title of the chief officer.

Sincere Tianwu Miaofa guards Wei Yiling hero, special Jin Guanglu doctor, Shenluan Wutai soldier master, Wei Shengxuan Ji Lingzun national division, Hengshan army chief governor, and holy talisman weapon supervising department industry, and Lingqu Fangxian The owner of the pavilion, Shangzhu Kingdom, Qin Guogong, 10,000 households in Shiyi, 10,000 households in Shishi...

A guard of honor, attendants, treasures, magic weapons, rare treasures, etc., etc., are all brought.

After the big Diaoyan finished reading this, he bowed his head and held the imperial decree over his head with a submissive smile. He did not say any nonsense like "thank you". Silent is better than sound.

Kant turned his head and glanced at Dong Tianming. The emperor and teacher had tears in their eyes, as if recalling the local customs. Seeing this, he nodded slightly to Kant, indicating that there was no problem, and he could accept the order.

Then Kant glanced at Hong San again.

Hong San nodded lightly, with a gentle and warm smile, meaning "This is a good thing" and "Stuck with tape".

Kant exhaled lightly, and in the sound of the surging waves, he took the imperial decree with both hands.

He smiled: "Although His Majesty the Emperor couldn't hear my words in person, I still want to thank her for her kindness, courtesy and kindness. Mr. Huang, thank you for running here and working hard all the way."

The father-in-law Huang was slightly startled, and only then did he realize that "Mr. Huang" was actually calling him, and his heart was fluctuating for a while - in his life, those who love him, those who hate him, those who despise him, those who scold him, beg He, flattering, he was called many kinds of names, but no one had ever called him that.

"...I don't dare, I am entrusted with the grace of the saints, and naturally I will spare no effort."

He said respectfully: "Now that I have not humiliated my mission, the old slave is finally relieved. This trip has crossed the oceans and spreads His Majesty's good wishes. I only hope that Duke Qin's flag will be victorious, the western land will be shaken, and he will return to his homeland as soon as possible to meet my emperor."

Ah, it's a little hard to understand in such a scrupulous manner.

Then Eunuch Huang took out an envelope tangled with gold threads and flowing with jade light from the box on the side, and handed it to Kant respectfully: "This is a handwritten letter from my emperor to Eunuch Qin, please read it by yourself."

Just as Kant wanted to open it, he heard Dong Tianming say softly, "Empress Qin, since it's a private message from His Majesty, you should open it yourself after returning, and don't be in a hurry."

Well - I am an earthling, how did I become Duke Qin?

He understands this, it should be the abbreviation of the title "King of Qin", just like Li Jing's title of Duke of Wei, so everyone respects him as Duke of Wei, Duke of Wei, and even Duke of Li Wei.

There is also the letter from the empress - Kant's heart moved slightly. He was really curious, and even had some charming thoughts. What would the legendary Oriental empress write to him in the letter?

With a flick of his finger, the letter floated into the air and disappeared into the splendidly unfolding phase gate.

Eunuch Huang's expression did not change, he kept his posture of bowing, and said, "So that Eunuch Qin will know that this old slave will not disgrace his mission, and this trip will sail eastward. The three thousand two hundred and fourteen people have arrived across the sea on the Spirit Race battleship."

He took two steps back, bowed his body long, and his voice became louder, spreading the word: "In the name of my emperor, I will travel tens of thousands of miles from my parents' country to a foreign land, and serve under Duke Qin's family. All three thousand people have already Sign the life-and-death status, let Duke Qin drive and dispose of it, and have no regrets in life and death, I only wish Duke Qin to succeed!"

As soon as the voice fell, the people of Aurora who stood on the deck and looked at this place saluted together, men and women, their voices were even clouded, and their internal forces were shaking, like a wind song and a long roar: "I have seen Qin Guogong!"

At this moment, the news of the canonization of the Aurora Empress was finally translated into the common language of the mainland by the Aurora descendants in the crowd, and it was also broadcast on the radio and passed on among the crowd.

The long list of titles, official names and titles of "I can't remember many names", not to mention Kant's confusion, even these Aurora descendants can't understand.

At any rate, many literate people were surrounded by everyone, and patiently explained a few of the long list of titles that could be translated: "Incomparably loyal, powerful, and amazing in magic... Forget about not translating the title of the hero... This is a great gentleman with the highest honor, a Senator of the War Council, a National Magical Advisor with a very powerful title, a commander-in-chief of the Royal Imperial Guard, and the head of the Royal Alchemy Division, and…”

When the Aurora descendant was dry, and finally finished talking about the meaning of "Qin Guogong", the citizens of Far Harbor looked at each other, raised their arms and cheered, shouting: "Duke! Duke! Duke!"

The Aurora was stunned at first, and then fell to his knees in anger.

Lao Tzu racked his brains to find the truth, and you just heard this?

Compared with the delicate titles, honorary titles, and official positions, the "King of Qin" is simple and easy to understand, and it is very easy to understand for all ethnic groups in the mainland - Duke!

His Royal Highness Kant is a duke!

They cheered indulgently, which was indeed a great thing. After all, they only called His Royal Highness Kant on weekdays.

-Great!

The good news spread rapidly, the whole Far Harbor cheered, people applauded and shouted, whistles sounded, everyone was happy, and even ran to tell each other, a lively ocean.

Eunuch Huang smiled and said, "Eunuch Qin is popular."

Kant shrugged helplessly.

The scene in front of him reminded him of a strange incident in Neon.

The 18th-generation head of the Hosokawa family, who once received 540,000 shi, succeeded in running for Prime Minister Hosokawa. The people of Kumamoto Prefecture were very happy when they heard about it, and ran to tell them.

They cheered: "Master has taken the world!"

- This happened in 1993.

He looked at the cheering crowd of Far Harbor, and shook his head, you guys are happy.

Eunuch Huang said softly, "Eunuch Qin? I'll wait to listen to the instructions."

This time, Kant didn't look back to ask Dong Hong's master and apprentice's opinion. His eyes passed Eunuch Huang and looked at the dense figures on the elf battleship not far away. No matter what the motive was, this group of people came here for him.

Leaving his hometown, risking his death in a foreign land, he marches toward an unknown future.

This reminded him of a passage he had seen before.

Going to the West, I know China's plan for self-improvement, and I have nothing else to do without it. Carrying the future of the country, taking all the science of foreigners, and traveling a long distance of 70,000 miles, leaving the country of the motherland and parents, with no regrets.

The person who said this was a naval student in the Qing Dynasty named Liu Buchan. After returning from his studies, he became one of the pioneers of the modern navy. During the Sino-Japanese naval battle, he fought hard against the Japanese invaders. The battleship, sunk the ship with explosives, and then committed suicide for the country.

Because he said that he would bear the future of the country, because he said that if he lost the ship, he would kill himself.

For his country and nation, and for the Tartar court, which is not worthy of his allegiance.

Kant sighed silently.

These Aurora people did not come to "take the science of foreigners", but they were similar. Aurora was embarrassed on all sides and only tried their best to support it, but there was no hope of breaking the situation. Dong Tianming came across the sea to find new possibilities...then he chose Kant, and sent the news back to China.

Then there was the canonization of the Aurora court with the utmost courtesy, and there were also these people who came across the sea and handed their fate to the unknown future, just to say "May Duke Qin return home soon."

Kant is not a descendant of a prince, and the so-called "returning to China" is just a deal for help, so these 3,000 people put themselves on the negotiating table without hesitation.

He said softly, "Then say a few words."

At this moment, the parrot, who was watching the excitement, lowered his voice: "Xinggong - you have to fight at any time - if you don't fight, you can't -"

Eunuch Huang frowned slightly, glanced at the strange metal face, and was immediately shocked.

- This man is so good!

His thoughts turned, and he saw Guanghan's awe-inspiring aircraft floating in the air, Qin Guogong stepped on it, floated up, stood on the surface of the sea, and looked at the travelers coming across the sea.

"Hello, my name is Kant."

His voice spread, and the people on several large ships looked at the prince.

Kant said with a smile: "You know me now and remember what I look like, but I don't know you. You have to remember it slowly in the future - but it doesn't matter, it's still a long time, you can take it slowly."

Such words are ingenious and unheard of, but they are easy enough to ease everyone's uneasy mood. It seems that this Duke Qin has a peaceful and gentle temperament.

Just as they thought so, they heard Qin Guogong continue: "But, although I don't know you, I know your purpose...I know what you are here for."

"You left your family and business, came to a foreign land, fought for me, worked for me, what you asked for is just a promise I made, I admire your dedication and fearlessness, and I am willing to respond to your request, what I want to tell you Yes, you didn't put everything aside and come to be a cow and a horse for me-"

He paused, pointed into the distance, and gave a warm smile.

"You are just a little earlier than your compatriots and stand under the same banner as me."

The calm voice is like a heavy wind and thunder, whistling above the sky: "The land, the people who suffer, the warriors who persevere, the warriors who fight against the cruel foreign enemies - in the foreseeable future, I will take you back, Bring more brave people who can eradicate evil and promote good, go to that land and fight side by side with them... This is my promise to you! We will go back!"

Aurora's internal and external troubles were originally the poisonous schemes and conspiracies of the Star Palace, and to fight against the Star Palace, it was necessary for all the nations of the world to unite, which was originally part of the grand plan.

"Before that, I need your help to develop the achievements of the western land and unite more people, starting from this city - her name is Yuangang, which is your future home."

"I want you to be hardworking, fearless, obedient, and then the city will embrace you, and I want you to be honest, friendly, and tenacious, and then the people here will embrace you."

"I know that Aurora has all kinds of rules, but Yuangang has its own new rules. The future is here. You can witness and experience it with your own eyes."

"—I am Kant, I and the city welcome you to come, welcome you to join, I hope that the following days will become the most unforgettable part of your life, and when we are ready, you will be proud The land returns to its homeland, and now, let's create such a future together!"

Kant opened his arms and shouted, "Get off the boat! Land ashore!"

After a short silence, huge cheers resounded through the sky.

"Ashore! Ashore! Ashore!"

Cheers also sounded on the shore, and drones flew over, recording everyone's faces. The decks were lowered everywhere on the pier, and the selected Aurora guides stepped forward and led the ships. Landing, Kant returned to the pier, Huang Gongzheng knelt on the ground, hugged Dong Tianming and cried bitterly.

Business is over, now it's a private friendship.

"Prince Minister!" he cried, "I don't want to see you again!"

Dong Tianming helped him up, and his eyes were red. Eunuch Huang was an internal servant, and he also served the late emperor. Even when the late emperor was dying, Eunuch Huang always served by his side.

Together they witnessed the fall of the Emperor Star.

Huang Gongzheng and the emperor were crying about their parting feelings. Seeing Kant returning, he hurriedly wiped away his tears, bowed his head and apologized, Kant smiled: "Mr. Dong, let's catch up with Mr. Huang later, I haven't seen each other for many years, there must be many Having said that, there are a lot of things to ask.”

Dong Tianming sighed: "Xie lord... It's been a long, long time."

Kant looked at Hong San: "The next step is to send everyone to a temporary residence, and then arrange them slowly. Hong San, you and your fellow brothers and sisters should take extra care."

Hong San nodded and said, "Yes, the bus convoy has been arranged, and the meal has been prepared."

"Well, send them first, I'll visit them later." Kant turned his head and said, "Eunuch Huang, is there any important person I want to meet now?"

"The old slave has introduced them to worship Duke Qin. They are all outstanding figures, a temporary choice, and His Majesty personally selected them." Eunuch Huang said here, and said, "In addition, His Majesty also personally selected a female official for Duke Qin. Thirty-six are all smart women with both talent and beauty. Although Duke Qin is a hero, it is good to let these little women do some sloppy things..."
