MTL - Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds-Chapter 20 sprite, sprite
Out of some elusive foresight of danger, Kant put this bold idea on hold for the time being.
At the home of the valley, the knight was greeted with kindness and hospitality.
"Is black tea okay?"
Kant held a bottle of Master Kong's iced black tea and smiled.
"...Thank you, water is fine."
Cleveland Cavaliers advocate simple practice, tea and wine will affect the purity of body and spirit.
Kant thought for a while and brought him a bottle of Baisuishan mineral water.
"Thank you." The knight was surprised by the transparent and light material of the mineral water bottle, but he did not show any shock, which made Kant a little disappointed.
After all, as a civilized person in modern society, no matter what his personality is, he will definitely have a sense of superiority in the face of "indigenous people". Besides, after reading so many novels, he is looking forward to that kind of pretending.
—Look at this mineral water bottle, it is transparent, light, and made of peculiar material, will you be amazed? What kind of rare treasure do you think this is? Sorry, that stuff is all over our place.
Probably the same idea.
He thought for a while, a little unwilling, and then asked, "Isn't this kind of thing uncommon in your place?"
"It should be said, never seen."
The knight replied calmly, without any embarrassment of ignorance, he looked at the drinking water bottle in his hand, pondered for a moment, and said: "The wealth of Aurora is really unexpected, if I am not mistaken, this is for nobles to travel long distances or lead troops. Is there a special water supply for the expedition?"
Kant frowned: "Huh?"
"The expensive items sought after by the nobles should be gorgeous and heavy, with accumulated history and low-key luxury. This kind of bottle is light and airy and does not feel like a treasure. I am afraid it is not something that the nobles use every day."
"Civilians can't afford it, and it's not necessary. After all, drinking water is everywhere, so why bother."
"After thinking about it, there is only one use. Its shape design is also easy to store and carry. It should be specially prepared for a big man like you. After all, this is an overseas desert island far away from people."
While analyzing, the knight unscrewed the bottle cap like Kant, compared the thread of the bottle cap, and said in amazement: "This design... is very ingenious, and it has a wide range of uses. This ordinary but subtle place is more useful. Reflecting the real power, it seems that Aurora has grown beyond our imagination over the years."
"..." Kant looked at the knight with a bewildered expression.
The knight took a sip of the water from the bottle in a pleasing manner, then his expression changed slightly, he swallowed it calmly, and smiled gracefully at Kant.
—What did that expression mean just now? Do you think it’s unpleasant to drink? Do you have any opinion on Baisui Mountain, which costs a few dollars a bottle? Is the water in your other world so delicious? Is there a magic world?
"Your life is really simple. Although you have privileges, you still maintain a minimum level of material desire and enjoyment. It is really admirable."
The knight's face actually showed admiration and approval: "I heard that there is such a proverb in Aurora - the use of gorgeous tableware is to maintain dignity and dignity, but eating brown rice and poor rice with gorgeous tableware is acquired the day after tomorrow. The noble virtues are talking about people like you."
He complimented sincerely.
—Jane your mother Park, even if I eat oily mouth every night and lie on the sandalwood bed and play enough games before going to bed, I will occasionally think, "Is it a bit too cool for me to travel through life" and so on!
—And I was despised by you just now, bastard, do you really mean that?
The superior pretense plan for people from another world suffered a subtle failure.
how to say…
It's probably like "hit cotton with a punch, but still hurt the person behind cotton with a wave of killing intent and got the other side's serious admiration with a completely wrong focus" or something like that.
Also... Aurora.
This knight has mentioned "Aurora" many times.
Along the way, Kant made a side-by-side attack, and he already had a bottom in his heart.
In this world, I am afraid there are also countries of the yellow race similar to ancient China, with black hair and black pupils, and another civilization that is completely different from the West. The two continents are separated by the ocean, and there has been no large-scale communication for hundreds of years.
These people think of me as a Aurora... or whatever.
Safer than they think I'm an alien...
Oriental?
There was a trace of yearning and curiosity in his heart.
There is a word called cultural identity. Although the "Continent" and "Aurora" in the mouth of the knight are completely unfamiliar countries and civilizations to him, but sure enough, it is the latter that makes him feel closer. After all, they are the same appearance. , seems to have a similar culture and even...language.
I'm in the wrong place. I'm an oriental person, how could I have traveled to the site of the Western Fantasy Civilization?
Kant continued to inquire quietly.
The knights come from a principality called "Goethe". It is a human kingdom. There are quite a few principalities on the mainland. They are nominally vassals of the human empire and have a high degree of autonomy. Together, they form a loose human race. community.
The reason why they floated here is that they encountered the elf navy and fled here for refuge.
Kant frowned, doesn't it mean that these guys will bring menacing enemies?
And... elves?
Kant, who was bombarded with Internet information, was refreshed.
Pointed ears, incomparably beautiful, indifferent to the world, loves art, and is close to nature.
It is simply the star race of Western fantasy.
If the protagonist of Western Fantasy in that year did not have an elf gun friend, he would be embarrassed to say hello to others, and there were many variants, such as the dark elves who lived underground, who were coquettish, sultry, and cheap, and the dark elves who lived together all day long. Flying leaves together and messing around - toilet sprites, blah blah blah.
So, how could these Goethes have a grudge against the elves?
According to the inherent impression of the previous life, Kant looked at the Cleveland Cavaliers with a critical eye. You must go to the forest every day to catch the elves and return them as sperm pots.
So depraved, so shameful.
The knight looked delicate: "...Mr. Kant, is something wrong?"
"You know, I don't know much about the Western world."
Kant said slowly and leisurely: "So I'm curious why your country is in conflict with the elves. In other words... Did you arrest the elves for the slave trade?"
If this were the case, his evaluation of these Goethes would have been greatly reduced.
No matter what race is being enslaved, enslavement is enslavement, and human traffickers are human traffickers, which is totally unacceptable to a modern person.
The knight was startled for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You really don't know much about the situation in the mainland... Although the slave trade has not been banned in the mainland, almost no one dares to buy and sell elves."
Kande asked, "Why?"
Cleveland said: "Because the Dusk Moon Dynasty announced to the mainland hundreds of years ago that any act of plundering and enslaving elves would be regarded as an act of declaring war. Individuals enslaved elves, killed them, organized enslaved elves, and razed them, family enslaved them. Elves, slaughter all their direct members, the state enslaves the elves and destroys their country."
"..." Kant exclaimed, "So brave?"
The knight did not answer.
The Dusk Moon Dynasty is in full swing, the power projection of elves covers the entire continent, military deterrence, economic infiltration, cultural invasion, and pioneering immigrants, these pointed ears are too strong.
"Brilliant, awesome."
Kant nodded and said, "To protect each of its subjects in such an extremely domineering way, it has yet to be wiped out by the whole world. This so-called Dusk Moon Dynasty really has a trick."
Hearing that the Aurora people were praising the enemy country, the knight couldn't help it.
"Your Excellency, you are wrong."
He said: "The bigger a country is, the less likely it is to care about the thoughts of the common people. Elf queens and royal ministers will care about a year's tax revenue, the increase in the share of trade exports, and how many new battleships are in service. They will care about any new breakthroughs in magic technology, but the only thing they don’t care about is whether a clan of ordinary blood and humble origin is enslaved and ravaged by aliens in a certain corner of the continent.”
Kant was surprised: "But they did not declare that they would protect every subject..."
"Let me point out, Your Excellency, that it was not a declaration of protection, but a casus belli."
The Cleveland Cavaliers said: "The elves have been working on this manifesto for hundreds of years, until it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, until everyone on the continent believes that the elves will start a great war for the enslavement of one people, so when the elves are enslaved. When declaring war for this reason, it will stand on the moral high ground, and the general public opinion on the mainland will take it for granted.”
There was a hint of sarcasm on his face.
"So, the Dusk Moon Dynasty doesn't care whether ordinary people are enslaved or not. As long as they don't make trouble, maybe they will turn a blind eye, but when the power or country that enslaves the elves becomes the next step in the elves' expansion strategy When the goal is reached, then all the sins will be announced to the world in an instant, become the evidence in the impassioned speeches of the members of the Congress, and become the reason for the war of the Evening Moon Dynasty."
The knight commander said coldly: "Moreover, according to gossip, the Military Intelligence Bureau of the Dusk Moon Dynasty will even take the initiative to dispatch a beautiful trained spy and order him to become a captive plaything of a noble or a power leader in a wonderful coincidence, Let it be ravaged and enslaved, and when the war is ready, the poor slave will be rescued by her righteous people, and stand in the Hall of the Full Moon, showing all the scars and pains of her body to everyone in the Dusk Moon Council, Make an accusation of blood and tears."
"…"
Hold.
Kant felt that his three views had been impacted.
Is this the fuck... an elf?
The transmigrator murmured: "This is not the same as the elves in my impression..."
The knight asked curiously, "In your impression... what kind of elves do you remember?"
Living in the forest, very beautiful, and often appearing as a partner with orcs in various fantasy works, in recent years, the relationship with greenskin has undergone a subversive turn.
- A lot of books appeared in Kant's mind.
How would this serious knight react if I showed this guy what was in my notebook? Are you laughing to death on the street, or are you rushing on the spot?
Kant suddenly thought of something.
"...Excuse my presumption, those elves who drove you to this place won't chase after them, right?"
he asked cautiously.
To tell the truth, he has no friendship with these Goethes, and he doesn't want to be involved in this kind of war murder for no reason at all. Just kidding, when he comes to another world, he helps the natives to fight. I'm crazy.
"do not worry."
Cleveland said subconsciously: "The elves regard the Sacred Seal Island as a forbidden place. This is a taboo for their entire race. Even if they kill them, they will definitely not dare to approach here, I..."
When he said this, he suddenly woke up, his face changed suddenly, and he covered his mouth with a snap.
It hurts to hear the sound.
"..." Kant looked at him, "what's the matter?"
There was apprehension and unease in the knight's eyes, and he shook his head like a child in trouble.
Kant became more and more puzzled: "...What happened?"
The knight hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.
Kant's face slowly sank: "Mr. Cleveland, your strange behavior makes me uneasy. I hope you can resolve my doubts. It is better for us to be frank."
The knight's eyes swayed and struggled fiercely. After a long time, he slowly put down his hand and whispered: "Mr. Kant, you are from Aurora. I heard that in some fields, Aurora's mysterious attainments surpass those of the mainland. You, have you ever heard of some strange phenomenon, that is, that kind of…”
He hesitantly said: "If a person expresses certain opinions with reason, but the results of things are often contrary to his deductions... Have you heard of this phenomenon?"
Kant subconsciously said, "Isn't this poisonous milk?"
"...Poison, poisonous milk?"
